She has no idea whether her hats should

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE.

The scene of the story is laid in
the Vanderlip Hotel. New York
City. The Princess Maria Theresa
Of Segura, a beautiful Spanish
woman, is suddenly awakened in
her suite by the sound of pistol
shots. She hears a man running
down the hall. He crashes against
her door breaking the lock, and
enters. She sees he is a tall good
looking young man, dressed in
evening clothes. He is carrying a
revolver in his right hand, and
blood is dripping from a wound in
his left. He begs the Princess to
hide him. She, moved by some in
describable impulse, decides that
she will She directs him to an
inner room, and a few minutes
later, when the hotel detective
knocks on the door, she tells him
she is all right and sends him
away. The young man, who is
Warren Jarvis, Of Kentucky, comes
out Of his hiding place, and the
Princess, for the first time, notices
his wound. She is moved to SYM
pathy and showers him with ques-
tons as to what has occurred. Jar
Wis tells her about a Kentucky
feud between his family and an
other named Markham He says
he left Kentucky to avoid the feud-
lists, but encountered one of them
in the hotel, which explains the
shots. The Princess declares she
will help him, and then asks the
stranger question, Are you afraid
Of ghOsts?" Jarvis laughs. but
grows solemn when the Princess
tells him she has dangerous work
for him to do. She makes him
swear allegiance. and creates him
her "vassal." Then she tells him
to get her trunk, which is going
to be shipped to a steamship on
which she sails to Spain the fol-
lowing day First Jarvis tells her
to telephone to his servant, Rusty
Snow, a negro. The servant is in
struCted to procure passage for
himself and Jarvis in the ship.
Jarvis then prepares to get into
the trunk, but first begins to ques-
ton the Princess about herself.
Now go on with the story.

The Bishop s Story.

Here is a story told by the Bishop
of London When he was in Toronto
recently a member Of one of his au-
diences told him that he had heard
him speak fourteen years before In
London and remembered only one
thing he said.
He told me that fourteen years
ago" said the Bishop Il related the
story Of an old woman who fell from
a three story window in the East
End. struck her head and was picked
up dead.
He added that I had said I went to
her neighbOr and remarked: I am
afraid Mrs. Jones was not prepared,
and that l had received this reply:
oh, yes; l know she was, because as
she passed my window in her fall
heard her say. Now for a bump!" 3"

Beauty Secrets of Beautiful Women
Christine N@uaus Rules for the "Too-THin" Woman
By Lillian LAUFERTY.

~uRISTINE NORMAN is exactly
the sort of girl you would be if
- you could choose-pretty. sweet,
gracious, alert, honest with herself and
sympathetic with all of life. And if
you have seen Peg e My Heart" you
would never guess it!
In that play she has to play the
part of a girl whose cold. self-centered,
unsympathetic nature makes life a bur-
den for the dear little Irish cousin we
all love-and all honor to the histrionic
ability Of the girl who portrays cold
ness and snohbishness so convincingly
that the interviewer's heart sank at the
thought Of a chat with her. Exit the
girl Of the play, and enter Christine
Norman and joy to the heart Of the in
terviewer at the same time
Miss Norman's manner is as whole
some and unaffected as her own pretty
pink and white room, and her mind is
as interestingly many sided as the vast
array of vastly differing books that are
so prevalent all about her room.
Nov, how could l have a beauty Sc
