vYTHILE almost every woman
w wants to be pretty. I don't be-
lieve a girl exists who does
not long to be charming. l have often
wondered Just what charm IS.
Only a little while ago ] was dining
with some people at restaurant, and
we had been remarking on the dreadful
assortment Of ugly looking people. bad
~ dressed and most depressing to con-
template
AT the table next Us there was a
group of five people. three men and two
women. one womans face was COM
pletely hidden by big bunch Of car
nations which stood in the middle Of
the taole. We could only see the ges-
lures of her hands. and the nodding
plulnes of smart bonnet and the
general outlines of the we'll dressed fig
ure OF "a Woman, / should judge, be-
tween 80 and 40. She seemed to be
telling story At any rate. che was
keeping her friends in gales OF laugh
ter. and she managed the conversation
SO that every one had a share Of it,
though She seemed to dominate We
watched her for a long time without
being able to see her face. and We all
decided that she was a very charming
person. hut then we couldn't tell why
because we could neither hear what she
said nor see her. We could only Judge
by her gestures and the way the bob
bing hat turned from one person to the
other. 1t seemed so interested and SO
gracious. and we knew the person be-
meath was the same.
II Is Elusive.
Charm is SO Elusive that YOU can't
put real definition TO it. Being I'M
selfish does not necessarily make one
charming though a person who is OBJ
viously selfish never has charm. I
think the secret of charm is TO make
fthe most Of yourself both physically
and mentally. in order TO please others
and incidentally to be agreeable to
yourself.
No woman with an ugly speaking
voice can be really charming, though
lots Of women with ugly faces have this
enviable quality. Now. pretty speak
ing voice can be cultivated, and there
IS no reason why every one Of us should
not speak in low and musical tones 1t
IS entirely question OF having your
attention called to 1t, and remembering
not to scream and talk loud, and not to
talk in the awful nasal twang that
ruins 90 many pretty voices. The best
thing to do is to find some one with a
pretty voice and initiate them. Be sure
YOU choose an example whose voice is
about the same range as yours. If
your voice is naturally high you don't
want to initiate Ethel Barrymore. And

There was something so strange and
desolate in the unexpected sound ringing
through the silence, muffled by sturdy
old walls, that Rimington paused involun-
tarily Then, as he listened. it was re-
peated and silenced instantly.
And to Jack Remington it seemed that
there was tragedy in that suddenly 81
fenced cry
He paused for a moment, looking about
him, wondering whence the cry had
come. There was only one door in the
hall. a baize one, leading evidently to
servants quarters, from which the cry
had certainly not sounded. and another
which yielded instantly to his touch, re-
veaIing only darkness profound and I'M
broken
A Terrible Discovery.
1t must have been from upstairs that
the cry had come. He dashed to the
staircase, and as he ran up he had a
momentary impression. vague as The inn

bits of Flemish carving, the pieces of
rust spotted armor that hung with tragic
incongruity against the vanished. yellow
walls

and to his suddenly Quickened imagina-
ton it seemed there were terrors lying in
ambush behind them. From one thread
OF yellow light streamed out like beck

With a curious, unfamiliar feeling, a
sense of apprehension amounting almost
to fear. he pushed the door open and

on the threshold he paused with one
deep exclamation. seeing in the space OF

lay at her feet like some uncouth figure
stuffed with bran, its arms grotesquely
outtlung. 1t was a dead man. There was
blood oozing from beneath that hidden
face and breast
Betty, what have you done? Who is
it?' He made a hasty step forward to
turn the body on it's back; but. before he
could touch 1t, with sickening discomfort
ngness the lights went out, leaving them
in a darkness that seemed to clutch at
him like clammy fingers.
The darkness and silence that closed
about him so suddenly filled Remington
with a mad, unleapng sense of panic that
could not have been more agonizing if he
himself had done to death that stark
thing at his feet What was to be done?
What was the terror that menaced him in
the darkness? And now it seemed to him
that terror had been stalking him ever
since he entered that home.
OF a sudden the darkness seemed to be
alive with eyes -baleful malicious eyes
that stared unwinkingly at the girl by
his side The thought helped to steady
him, in truth, the panic that seemed to
him to have lasted an hour had not lasted
long enough for so seconds to be told off
by those innumerable varied voiced clocks
in the hall.

her name was steady, and the hand he
put out gropingy toward her was steady
also. "Betty-do you hear me? You must

There was neither murmur nor move
ment beside him to tell him Of her pres

she was silent and the darkness seemed
to press more closely about him. eau

light had failed the girl had been close
