II woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics. every woman would be a
picture of lOyeliness. But beauty
lies deeper than that. II lies in
health. In the majority ofRcases the
basis OF health, and the cause Of sick
moss, can be traced to the action OF
the bowels.
The headaches. the lassitude, the
sa!low skin and the lusterless eyes
are usually due to constipation. SO
many things that women do'habitu-
ally conduce to this trouble. They
do not eat carefully. they eat inH-
gesLible foods because the foods arc

DON'T LET WRINKLES COME
Your Face Smooth, and Con-
troll the Emotions.

I once heard a woman say: The
best way to treat wrinkles is to avoid
getting them" This may sound absurd
but it is true Wrinkles are caused by
bad facial habits.
Laughing, crying. frowning or smiE
ing will not make you wrinkled, unless
you do one or the other habitually,
then the face becomes set" To keep
the muscles Of the face exercised will
not give you wrinkles. Scowling and
wrinkling the forehead when reading
or studying, or when conversing, will,
If continued persistently, soon show
deep wrinkles in the forehead and
about the eyes. You can check your
self of these habits and thus avoid
acquiring wrinkles.
If the eyes are weak or over
strained it is easy to fall into the habit
of drawing the forehead down in
wrinkles about the eyes, thus giving
yourself a cross look, that you prob
ably do not deserve. Pressing gently
the nerves around the eyes and stop
ping now and then to close your eyes
Is very restful to them. If your eyes
are troublesome, however, better con-
suit an oculist. ,
!. Do not allow yourself to be tortured
by shoes that are too small or uncom-
Portable clothing. Your comfort has
more to do with facial expression than
perhaps you realize-Mme. Jeanne La
Place, in the Woman's World.

There were times when be could have
imagined that Floyd evaded too close
companionship with him. subtly held
him at arms length.
They stayed the half day at Buffalo,
and went out to the huge. silent group
of buildings that had been the Comet
factory.
1t gave Stanton a strange sensation
to watch Floyd's assured familiarity
with this place and atmosphere: to
see him so naturally draw from his
pocket the bunch Of keys to admit
them and unhesitatingly fit each to its
corresponding door or gate. Yet, this
was where he belonged-only there
should have been busy life instead OF
this dead emptiness. Their voices ech-

WHY TRIMMING ON LEFT SIDE
Custom Now Universally Followed
Goes Back to the Days of chiv-
airy and the Rapier.

Did you ever wonder why it seems
natural to put trimming on the left
side of the hat? OF course this year
we are not natural, so far as trimming
Is concerned. We swathe our waists
with thick folds, we gather our skirts
in front, we fasten buckles, bows and
other decorations at our knees, and we
blithely wear the trimming of our hat
at left or right, front, back or in the
middle. Perhaps this fashion will dull
our feeling that the left side is the
suitable side for trimming.
This is the reason, anyway why we
have had to hold ourselves In check
lest we put our hats on backward or
sideways to bring the trimming to the
time-honored left side:
In the old, old days, when men went
about with swords instead of pen
knives at their sides they wore trim
ming on their hats; not the small,
neat ribbon band and folded bow they
wear now, but big, waving plume or
two. These plumes, if they were fast
ened at the right side, interfered with
the sweep of the sword when it was
swung high in air to gather force
swung, naturally, with the right hand
on the right side. Hence the trimming
was placed on the left side, and there
| it has remained, on and off, ever since,
until the fashions of the last few years
came in.

eyes. A strong wind was blowing Oh

and wrapping his long coat about MIN:
"My sister," he repeated, why

Speak frankly. if you do not think me

"You have seen her once" Floyd re-
called, as if to himself. He lisped. his
surest sign of excitement. Stanton
had never heard him use that soft.

Butterflies as Jewels.

Brilliant butterflies. brought back
by travellers who have been exploring
distant countries. serve only to en-
rich the collections of naturalists. it
is only recently that the multi-colored
wings of these brilliant and charming
insects have tempted artistic jewel
ers They have imprisoned in the
crystal some of these variegated
wings and have made of them jewels
which not only are ravishing but
which reveal a very tempting origi-
nality. A brooch has been made with
the two wings of one of these butter
flies. They were arranged in the
shape of butterfly between two thin
sheets of crystal. The edge of the
wings was set with diamonds and an
opal formed the body Of the fly.

CHAPTER TX.
The Chance for Jessica.


When the assistant manager of the
Mercury Company came through the
train, next msrning, and saw the two
who were breakfasting together in the
dining-car, he stopped in the aisle with
an expression of one brought face to
face with the disagreeable unexpected,
sWell!" he calculated WELL"
start it with an H, II you like. %
suggested Stanton. coolly amused.
Mr.. Green's mouth grew thin from
pressure.
eff you quarrel with Floyd, shall
not know where out here cam get
you another mechanician in time" he
gave stiff warning.
"All right" was the answer.
Floyd was engaged in blocking out a
map with toothpicks, and did not look
up; he appeared even more ridiculous
" young and gay-spirited than usual.
In the morning sunlight But some
thing in the poise of his bright head
echoed that "all right" Mr.. Green
went on, and interfered no more dur
ing the journey.
The speed carnival held upon the
superb two-mile track was to extend
over three days. The contests were of
varied types and classes. but the Mer-
curry was entered for at least one
event and frequently several. on each
day.
aAren't there any Atalanta cars en-.
tered at all?" Floyd wondered, on the
first morning at the track.
"None," Stanton assured.
-Then 1 won't need to burn joss

what for?"

fused to explain.
Their luck held good. They had
neither illness. nor serious accident to
mar their series of victories and trials

ton, and many of the honors of the
carnival remained with him.

mile contest He did not like the 9th

him.
How so?" queried Stanton as sue
einctly.
Between recklessness and over-cau-
ton
It was quite true. With Floyd be-
side him. Stanton's driving was as
daringly brilliant, but characterized by
some rational consideration of the pos
sibilities Of disaster. Why? No one
had time to speculate.
It was commencing to trouble Stan
ton himself, this growing affection for
his mechahician that threatened to be-
come an absorbing need. He had
never neeIed any one. he had been
self-sufficitnt and self-centered; and
now he felt a blank chill at the idea
of losing the society of this boy man
1t chafed and fretted him with a
sense of bondage; when he felt the
cords draw most, he turned upon

Old Doctor Sunny Smiles came in
A little while ago;
The day was dismal; things begin
To seem more cheerful, though;
Old Doctor Sunny Smiles sat down
And spun a yarn or two,
And since he's gone upon his way
The sky that was SO dull and gray
Is looking soft and blue.
Old Doctor Sunny Smiles has made
Me glad to do my best,
And charmed away the care that weighed
So heavy on my breast;
Somehow the simple faith he had,
The cheerful look he wore,
Has made me have the wish to please
And cease to hate the enemies
I thought 1 had before.
Old Doctor Sunny Smiles may stand
Upon your step, my friend,
And long to take you by the hand
And cause your woes to end;
Why not unlock the door and see?
Why let him pass you by?
He will not charge you any fee;
He may transform your gloom to glee,
If you will let him try.
