one of the most beautiful girls | have
ever seen. She had brown eyes as big
as teacups, and while she hardly ever
said anything she looked unutterable
things. You would feel those big. brown
eyes gazing at you even when your back
was turned, and as if drawn by some
wonderful magic you would ask, What
is it?" trying to fathom the mystery
behind that deep, searching glance Of
hers. But she always answered, Moth

Edna married very rich man. She
is still marvelously beautiful and in
her face is the mystery Of the Sphinx.
She never mars this impression for
she seldom says anything. Her hus
band adored her until he found out that
behind this wall Of mystery there was a
perfectly vacant brain, thing which
we could have told him before his mar
riage.
They are divorced now, and she is
about to marry No. q who has also
succumbed to the charm OF the silent,
