everybody knew that Nurse Miriam
had been married. But nobody knew
It until she put on her wedding ring,
and that was not until the Senior Sur

his interest in Elizabeth Miriam was
more than a purely professional one.

about Miss Miriam.
You see, Jack" he continued, i've
been clean dafy over her ever since
she came here Why everybody else

he had been jailbird then, although
ne posed as gentleman. He was
valet, l believe. and learned the
manners Of gentlefolks in that way.
Well, he thought she had money, and
month after the marriage, when he
found she hadn't. he abandoned her.
She hadn't much love left for him by
then, so it was the kindest thing he
could have done. But, though she
loves me, she won't get divorce.
Doesn't believe in divorce. So there
you are. What ami to do?"
Il don't know, Fred" I answered
frankly. You're asking me to solve
the Oldest unsolved problem on earth.
You must decide for yourself, old man

He agreed with me th:t It was up
to him. and few days later he told
me he had talked 1t over with her

FOR PLIABLE, MOBILE LIPS
Must Be Exercised II the Owner
Would Have Them Always Sweet
and Attractive.

There is an old-fashioned idea to
the effect that tightly compressed lips
indicate strength Of character Quite
the contrary is the case. Some of the
weakest characters compress their
lips for causes that do not interest,
since one desires to learn how to keen
the lips beautiful and not why some
persons lips are the reverse.
Don't close the lips as though YOUR
mouth were full of secrets that the
least movement might disclose. Just
act as though the latest merry song
were lifting upon the lips, and let
them fall into mobile, natural lines.
Singers and actresses rarely have
uniovely lips, and this is because their
lips move In great variety Of expires.
slons. They are kept constantly ex.
ercised, the muscles are pulled this
way and that and so retain their mo.
oiiity OF expression. elasticity and
vigor Disuse of any part of the body
renders fiabby the muscles of that
part. The same is true of the Inns.
Laughter. song. animated converse.
ton and the movements necessary for
me expression Of varying emotions,
all help to keep her lips youthful and
kissable.
Pliable, mobile lips are always=sweet
and attractive. even when the be-
holder Is not conscious Of the. reason
for the attraction
One way to achieve lips Of sais sort
is to bow at an imaginary candle, and
work the lips from side to side, but
not tso often. The blowing attitude
is hast as an exercise.

NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR
MINISTER WILLIAMS
State Department Not Willing
to Share Blame for His
Statements.

Washington, July &-Thc action OF
tho state department in disclaiming re-
sponsibility for published statements
criticising conditions In Albania credit
ed to George Fred Williams, American
minister to Greece, attnrcted wide
spread attention in official and diplo-
naatic circles here today.
Secretary Bryan in a formal state
ment re%pudiated the alleged u~tterances
of Mr.. Williams, declaring that they
were made solely Or the minister's own
authority. This step, which is said to
have been suggested by President Will
son himself. was regarded as highly
significant in official circles.
Coming at this time after officials of
the government had heretofore de-
clined to comment on press dispatches
quoting Minister Williams as having
attacked Prince Of WED and his gov
ernment in Albania; the action occa-
stoned considerable comment. Although
press dispatches reported that the min
lister had rendered his resignation, it
had not. SO far as could be learned,
reached h department early today.
Secretary Bryan announced that Mr..
Williams was authorized by the de-
partment to visit Epirus and observe
conditions and report. This report had
not reached Washington when the de-
partmcnt closed late yesterday. Wheth-
er it would arrive today could not be
foretold.
