Style of. hair-dressing strongly affects appearance.

Every woman recognizes the fact that much depends upon the manner in which her hair is dressed. Straight and severe styles are far less attrac- tive than those marked by wavy lines and graceful arrangement. The cor rect style is the one that makes intel ligent use of. one's own hair and then adds to it such accessories as are needed to procure grace and beauty.

He did not know that she had gone across the street.
 In vain did Harper call. No one re- sponded. Presently, being tired out, he decided to wait. But it was not long be- fore he heard the street door open into the hall. Then footsteps came on to the dlning-room. There were two persons walking, Harper could make that out. But neither was his mother. He could make out her light step among many others.

Harper Goodman and the Masquerade

mistress room on the second floor. But Mrs. Goodman had gone across tho street to inquire about a neighbours sick, child. She knew that Harper was preparing to go to the masquerade party and that he would be sometime at his toilet. So she decided to make the few minutes neighbory call, returning in time to see her son off. But she found the child very i'll and was waiting with the mother until the doctor should come. Conse- quently the housemaid looked into a tenantless room. Horror was on the girls face, when she realized that she was alone in the big house, and bur glar-or something worse-at the back door. Mir. Goodman was out of town on business and Gladys and Annie were staying over night with their grandpar- ents at. the outskirts of the city. The housemaid thought Harper already gone to the party and had no suspicion what ever, of his being the person at the back door.
 For a moment the maid thought the matter over. She was a big, strong Irish girl, able to hold her own in physical strength against a man. And she knew her own powers, too. So she thought and thought for minute or gwo. Then she said half aloud: "I'll do 1t, begorra. There may be reward fer him. An money ain't a bad thing to have I'll send 1t to the auld folks In Ireland"
 Then she went below.
 She decided on the buffers pantry, 1t being without an outside door or window. The door leading from the pantry into the dining room she locked, putting the key into her pocket. The door leading into the kitchen she left open. the key on the kitchen side. Then she opened the outside kitchen door and saw that her man was still there. Mrs. Goodman says please to step Into the dining-room." she announced to Harper.
 "Thanks, num-" replied Harper, smil- ing to himself. for he was pleased to noto that Carry-the maid-dd not guess

characters. humorous, historic and em- blematic.
 The time set for the party was 8 o'clock sharp, and 1t was to last two and n half hours. This would give the young folks (all boys and girls in their teens) plenty of time to reach home be- fore eleven. the hour when they must be abed.
 As has been said of them, MT. and Mrs. Smith were royal entertainers of young people and their pretty and witty 15-year-old Bessie was quite as hospitable and gracious as were her parents. The guests arrived punctually and whis- pered hub-bub filled the spacious rooms. All were masked and each was trying to hide his or her identity, thus they held their voices in whispers or talked In a high falsetto key.
 Harper Goodman was a tri6e late get ting ready for the party. He dressed in the barn in the rear of his own home. He was anxious to try his dis guise on his mother first, and If she failed to recognize him, he would then hurry on to the party. Having com pleted his masquerade toilet-which was that of tramp-he went to the kitchen door and knocked. He did not wear a false face, for makeup" full wreath of struggling whiskers so disguised him that he would not have recognized him. self on looking in the mirror. He had blackened his eyebrows giving to his countenance a dogged, heavy look. The rough black beard covered most of his lower face, while a slouch hat, drawn well down, shaded the upper part.
 The housemaid opened the door in re- sponse to Harper's rap, and on behold ing the suspicious-looking character there did not invite him in. On the contrary, she pushed the door almost shut ill his face, peeping out through the crack at him.
 ..I'd like to speak with Mrs. Goodman" said Harper, speaking in his natural voice.
 'I'n tell her." responded the maid Then she banged the door in Harper's face, turned the key and rushed 10 her

 .sure," replied Harper "Wouldn't miss 1t for anything. One always has such a good time at the Smiths. Mir. and Mrs. Smith know just how to make the young folks enjoy themselves. And Bessie is just dandy little hostess. Glad the party comes off on Saturday night, for I've got piles of work to do on my spring exams. And it's bit hard to get up at six to study after spending the previous evening making merry. On Sunday morning l may lie abed till half past eight. Mother always allows me to have breakfast in my room of Sundays. Then I dress in a jiffy and go to Sunday school with Gladys and Annie"
 .Yes, Sundays sort of rest day for me. too" said Jack. 'T'm glad the party takes place Saturday night. But what are you going to wear? I'm going as knight of the Middle Ages"
 Harper shook his head. 'Im going to surprise all you fellows" he laughed. "Shan't tell even Mamma about my get up. I've got 1t about reauy noW' put am doing without the aid of anyone"
 well, you can't disguise yourself so that I won't know you" declared Jack. larghingly. 'Your broad shoulders and football swing give you away
 That's to be proven," laughed Harper. Then the boys parted, each going to his own home.
 The evening of Bessie Smiths masquer- ade party arrived, and all the young folks of Bessies set were full of antici- patton.
