ET fave you ever watched fish
II breathe?" asked dark eyed
Zoe Barnett, of Lew Fields
'All Aboard" company NO, I'm not
bringing the role of comedienne into
this interview; am about to tell you
the greatest beauty secret know. A
fish breathes visibly-you can see its
little sides expand and contract as II
breathes deeply and all over its A9dy
But most women breathe either in
the top of their lungs or expand their
diaphragms as much as their stiff cor
sets will let them. Now, | wear cor
sets of 'Grecian tricOt-or webbing
and those corsets breathe with me-"
We were sitting in Miss Barnett's
own cool Swallowed room, and the
grateful breeze that huttered the cur
tains had not seemed a possible thing
down on the sidewalks below. My
hostess was wearing a fascinating
pink kimono-just the pink to bring
a flush to the clear olive of her
cheeks; pink mules" peeped daintily
out, and her head was bound in a
scarf of soft pink silk with a big pink
bow dropping in graceful lines just at
the base of a left ear that fitted in
with the color scheme of sea- shell
pink. A very witching negligee for a
midsummer day. Try it with the fin
ishing touch of surah silk sash and
see, little sisters.

Of those insects the commonplace call
a bedbug, but which we. who are
more temperamental, know as a Grim
son rambler?
"A woman will leave guests at the
table. or her husband on his death
bed, to run to the window to see the
fire engine go by, but would she run
if in the midst of a marriage pro-
posal?
Does a wooden-legged man take
his wooden leg to bed with him?
rs there more reason for a man to
be grateful to his wife for cooking a
steak well than there is for her to be
grateful because he bought it2
IF 1t is true that the spirits of our
ancestors are constantly flying around
US, are our women ancestors up in the
air all the time because of indigna-
ton over the scraps wasted that
would make quilts and rag carpets
who is the more wasteful: The
boy who cuts up pumpkins for Jack
lanterns or the woman who makes
them into very poor pies?"
He paused to give his next question
impression and weight 1t was a
problem older than the world itself
and no one has ever solved it.
"On whose head" he asked-then
he paused to scratch his head after
the manner of those who are deep
thinkers-"On whose head did a GER
tain pair of insects travel on that IA
nous journey In the ark2"

TN HE middle-aged woman with
the youthful hat sank into the
car seat with a sigh of re-
lief MY, but I got tired waiting on
that Corner!" she said to her COM
panion. Il hate this standing around
waiting for street cars when there
might just as well have been an au-
tomobile in the family! As I was
saying to my husband this morning,
it does beat all that after you slave
and plan all your life for your chill
dren things never turn out as you
want them to-"
That's So" agreed the woman in
the shade too bright heliotrope suit.
"They just do as they pleased"
Not that Lizzie is not good
daughter" went on the middle aged
woman. It's just that you can't tell
about men, They can be the blindest,
most exasperating, contrary crea-
lures! AS l was saying to my hus-
band when he took Alfred Guam for
a partner, who on earth would have
dreamed that such a boyish, pleasant
fellow could have such will of his
own and be so absolutely deaf to the
call Of what are really his own inter
ests?
IlS lldb lLlOllG9s you hIlONs anu rs
his folks did not live here / made up
my mind that 1t was my duty to be
kind of motherly to him." explained
the middle aged woman. Il think
there is nothing so pathetic as a
nice young man away from home and
a prey to every designing creature
who sets her eyes on him, especially
when he Is a good looking young
man like Alfred"
Il thought said the other woman,
that he and Lizzie"
Il don't believe in trying to make
matches" said the middle-aged wom-
an, firmly Il wouldn't dream of in
terfering with fate! Lizzie may be
26, but she doesn't look 1t, and any
one with taste would realize how
good looking she is-in a quiet way
of course. l don't think it is refined
to have the sort Of looks that at
tract attention, Mrs. Carver indeed
don't!
The first night that I had Alfred
Guam to a good home cooked din
ner I let Lizzie stir up the French
dressing and stuff the baked pota-
toes, and il I happened to mention
that she got the dinner I can't see
that there was any necessity of my
explaining just what part of 1t she
got. Alfred always was glad to get
an invitation to dinner. Afterward
had Lizzie show him her book OF
photographs. There's nothing like
letting young people get acquainted
Anyhow, Alfred Guam might have
considered himself in luck to get d
nice girl like my Lizzie-not but that
she could have her pick Of far better
than he! There's no telling what a
man will like-and to think that he

The Case of Alfred

when he got his runabout l men
toned that Lizzie was perfectly crazy
over autos and that the fresh air was
so good for health. He took her out
several times when | invited him to
come early for dinner, so they could
get a ride afterward, but it wasn't
month before that George Mac
Prang was driving the runabout with
/ her own hands and smiling conde-
scendingly when she passed our
house!
You don't know what I suffered at
the hands of that George MacPrang,
Mrs. Carver! I'd ask Alfred out for
nice little family game of cards
and he'd have an engagement and the
next day George would drop in and
tell what a fine time she and Alfred
had at the theater the night before.
He was perfectly nice to Lizzie
and if she dropped into the coal
office near closing time, as it was
perfectly natural for her to do, since
it was her fathers office, Alfred
would usually bring her home.
Don't push yourself l told Lizzie.
Only don't be backward about show
ing him that he's popular with you!

think you like him and are too mod
est to show it,
Just as l had arranged to have
Alfred take his summer vacation at
the same time we did and be our
guest at the cottage we were going
to rent, in comes that George Mac
Prang with a solitaire as big as a
paving stone, all smiles and applied
bushes and throws herself on Lizzie's
neck and says she must tell her first
because 1t was through her that she
and Alfred found each other.
Isn't that enough to make a wom-
an give up in despair, Mrs. Carver
Not that I'd have dreamed of trying
to force Alfred or Lizzie in each
others direction--not me-but being
Junior partner and, of course, what's
her fathers will be Lizzie's some
day, and then Alfred would have had
il all-and his nice automobile and he
is so good lOoking-and to think that
that silly Georges MacPrang--"
Maybe something will happen"
said her friend, comfortably. Lizzie
may yet be glad she didn't get
him"

aged woman emphatically. why,

knees"

A bright, glossy head of hair, cas-

dissolving in a pint of boiling water a
small square of camphor and a table
spoonful of powdered borax. Into
this liquid the brush must be dipped
several times whenever the hair is
brushed.

The marks of matches struck on

the cut side of a lemon. Then rub
the place with whiting, and lastly
scrub with soapy water.

BY YOUR ACTIONS.
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
l am 10 and in love with man
one year my senior. He loves me
also. He has two sisters who are
jealous of me and they are always
telling him falsehoods about me,
some of which he believes. What
shall l do to prove that these
things are not true? BILLIE G.
If you will conduct yourself in a
way with which the most carping
critic could find no fault, his sisters

weakened the force of that saying,
Actions speak louder than words"
If his love is worth the keeping he
will have no doubt of your worth.

To prevent flies settling on pictures

use 1t for washing over the glass.
An invaluable cure for sore eyes is
a little boracic powder dissolved in

eyes two or three times a day.
Soft hair bristles can be made stiff
and firm by dipping them in a penny

YOU DON'T LOVE HER.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
l am % and dearly in love with
girl one year my junior who
says she loves me. While at
party late one evening she fell
asleep and started to walk in her
sleep. l have heard since that she
walks in her sleep quite often. Do
you think we could live happily
together, or should give this girl
up2 WORRIED.
II you loved her, such a trivial fail
ing would appeal to your sense o.
protection. Not for a moment would
you consider giving her up.
Are you quite sure, young man, thai
you have no failings more undesirable
than sleep walking? If this is the
only fault she has she deserves a par
