hears chatter of the latest sty'e of face in Paris, and pretty red cheeks are disfgured by a coating of ghastly white and fresh lips are made sticky with red salve when makeup fashion decrees it. Of course there are plen- ty of young women whose own good sense Or that of their parents forbids such practices, but unfortunately there are others Of whom this cannot be said.
 'T think it particularly unfortunate when women of wealth and position adopt vulgar extremes of dress be- cause of the example that is set to the thousands of women in different cir cles who initiate them. The working woman for instance. shou be par ticularly circumspect in their dress because of their exposed position. Yet do they not appear in stores and of fees with their lace open-work s+ork- ings and short-Sleeved, low-necked Peek-a-boo shfrtwaists, a costume as unbusinesslike as a negligee or a yachting suit would be for a man?"

The young man whipped out his re-
serve supply, and in a trice Il was q
bandage on the chauffeur's hand. The
chauffeur decided that the young wom-
an was even nicer than the young
man. But he could not settle on a way
to say 1t. So he said nothing, and
grinned sheepishly as he said 1t.
The young man named Harry was
wondering how they were to proceed.
He had already studied the region
with dismay, when the girl resolved:
Well have to take another taxi,
Harry
Yes. Marjorie, but we can't take 1T
till we get it
You might wait here all night wit
out ketchin' glimp' of one" the
chauffeur ventured. Il come this way
because you wanted me to take a
short cut"
It's the longest short cut | ever
saw" the young man sighed, as he
sazed this way and that
The place Of their shipwreck was so
deserted that not even crowd had
gathered. The racket of the collision
had not brought a single policeman.
They were In dead world of granite
warehouses. Wholesale stores and fac
tories, all locked and forbidding, and
full of silent gloom
In the daytime this was big trade
artery Of Chicago. and all day long 1t
was thunderous with trucks and COM
merce. At night it was Pompeii, so
utterly abandoned that the night
watchmen rarely slept outside, and
no footpad found it worth while to
set up shop.
The three castaways stared every
which way, and every which way was
peace. The ghost Of a pedestrian or
two hurried by in the far distance.
A cat or two went furtively in search
of warfare or romance. The lamp
posts stretched on and on in both d.
rections in two foreyers.
In the faraway there was muf-
fed rumble and the faint clang of a
bell. Somewhere street car was
humping along its rails.
"Our only hope" said Harry. Come
along, Marjorie"
He handed the chauffeur five dollars
as a poultice to his wounds. tucked
the girl under one arm and the dog
basket under the other, and set out,
calling back to the chauffeur:
Good night"
Good night" the girl called back.
Good night" the chauffeur echoed.
He stood watching them with the ten
der gaze that even chauffeur may
feel TOR young love Fastening to a
honeymoon.
He stood beaming so, till their foot
steps died in the silence. Then he
turned back to the chaotic remnants
of his machine. He worked at 1t hope
lessly for some time, before he had
reason to look within. There he
found the handbags and suitcases, UNI
brellas and other equipment. He ran
to the corner to call after the owners.
They were as absent of body as they
had been absent of mind
He remembered the street-number

It is likely, according 10 Southern Pacific officials. that the project ui building an extension eight miles il, length from Huschncs siding to Ft. Huachucs will be abandoned because oi the expense and the uncertainty of realizing on the investment.
 Engineers of the Southern Pacific have completed estimates of the cost of constructing the line. According 10 these figures it is believed that the expense will te very heavy. The s P also considers that the permsnency of the military post at Ft.
