This is splendid idea, but don't be
so nice TO other people that you can't
be nice to yourself. Treat your body
so as to make it beautiful, outmatch
your mind with your body. 1t is all a
question of armony-harmony Of
line, harmony OF color, and harmony
Of conception. But your conception
must be subtle. in art you learn
technique, which after the portrait
has been completed you must hide
cleverly. And so you must learn to
hide the technique OF looks; you may
know and understand how TO make
the most of your charms, but don't
allow your technique to be apparent
or you will be dubbed a poseur for
your pains.
And now how to hide this tech

you can always be real and yet be in

cination call you beautiful.
Don't you all see what I mean?

TY joy was short-lived. No
Vk sooner had l become aware
that / loved Martin Conrad,
than my conscience told me | had
no right to do so. l was married,
and TO love another than my hus-
band was sin.
1t would be impossible to say with
what terror this thought possessed
me. 1t took all the sunlight out of
my sky, which a moment before had
seemed so bright. 1t came on me like
a storm of thunder and lightning,
sweeping my happiness into the
abyss.
All my religion, everything / had
been taught about the sacrament of
marriage seemed to rise up and ac-
cuse me. 1t was not that | was con-
scious of any sin against my hus-
band. / was thinking only of my sin
against God.
The first effect was to make me
realize that 1t was no longer posi-
Bile for me to speak to Martin about
my husband and Alma. To do this
now that | knew 1 loved him would
be deceitful, mean, almost treacher-
Gus.
The next effect was to make me see
that all thought of a separation must
now be given up. How could I &C
cuse my husband when | was my
self in the same position? II he
loved another woman, l loved another
man.
In my distress and fright I saw
only one means of escape either from
the filthy burden to which ! was
bound or the consciousness of sin
ft1l baa rf and that N4r1 10
self of my passion. ! determined to
do so. l determined to fight against
my love for Martin Conrad, to con-
quer it and to crush it.
My first attempt to do this was
feeble enough. 1t was an effort to
keep myself out of the reach of
temptation by refusing to see Martin
alone.
For three or four days I did my
best to carry out this purpose, maxi
ing one poor excuse after another,
when (as happened several times a
day. he came down to see me-that
was going QUOT or had just come in,
or was tired or unwell.
1t was tearing my heart out to de-
ny myself so. but l think l could
have borne the pain If l had not
realized that / was causing pain to
him also.
My maid, whose head was always
running on Martin. would come back
to my room, after delivering one of
my lying excuses, and say:
You should have seen his face,
when | told him you were i'll. II was
just as If I'd driven a knife into
him"
Everybody seemed 10 be in a con-
spiracy to push me into Martins
arms-Alma above all others. Being
a woman. she read my secret, and |
could see from the first that she

Courtship is the playtime of the
