Nj Tom Norton" her employ
VI er said. Tom. want you
to know Miss Dart, Grace's gov
erness."
It was Sunday morning. and Grace
and I had just entered the dining
room. The young master Of the
house had arrived after dinner the
night before. He and his father We're
seated at the table by the time that
Grace and I came down TO breakfast,
for the child had slept later than
usual today.
How do you do2" I said. holding
out my hand to the tall lad. who
came forward as soon as I was named.
4 am glad to meet you"
Thank you he re1oIned. returning
my handshake somewhat awkwardly.
Hello, Gracei"
Hello" she greeted him. holding
out her hand as she had seen me do
kiss him, daughter" Mr.. Norton
commanded
The boy flushed as II he did not
care to force his demonstrations upon
the child, and she lifted her lips re-
luctantly for his perfunctory salute.
Since the Sunday noon, some weeks
ago when Mr.. Norton had had Grace
and me come to the large table with
him, our places had been laid here for
brea kfast and dinner on the first 0Sy
Of the week. If there had been any
protest about this arrangement on
the part Of Mrs Gore, ] did not know
OF il. On other days the child and
sat at the small table for breakfast
and early supper. and with Mrs. Gore
at luncheon.
This morning 7 found myself op-
posite young Tom Norton The light
from the window fell full upon mis-
face and started as I met his gaze
He was evidently interested in learn
ing what his sisters governess looked
like. ana he stared into my eyes with
a directness that was diScOncertlng-
Where had I seen an expression that
was the counterpart Of his
A Resemblance.
Then I remembered The same deep
set eyes had gazed from the portrait
above the boys bed in the room mp

The lads mouth was like the mouth

BEAUTY CHATS.
Keep The Hands Young.

& FEW Of the Beauty Chats
Il written some weeks ago upon
- - improving the hands, interested
quite a number of women. who wrote
me for further information. One wo-
man said she had taken good care of
her teeth. complexion and hair. all her
life, but that it had never occurred to
her that her hands were growing old
from hard work. and were already
about % years older than her face.
She wanted a treatment that would
work as quickly as possible.
told her 10 wash her hands every
night with hot water. lemon juice

no more. and then she was TO wear
gloves all night so the skin could go
on absorbing the extra cream And
she was 10 have her nails cared for
once a week for two months, by
professional mauicurist. This would
only cost her Csc or soc a week. and
would more than pay for itself
Then, she was 10 wear rubber
gloves while doing hard Homework.
Dish mops are good TO take the place
of cloths. for they keep the hands
out of water, but even so. a certain
amount Of immersion is necessary in
cleaning pans. and washing up the
sink later. And rubber gloves COM
pletely cover and protect the hands,
so the water cannot dry out the oils,
and give that terribly lNnotty look
that all women dread. Some Of the
larger five and ten cent stores carry
rubber gloves which. though not OF
the best quality. more than pay for
themselves before they wear out.
Rubber can also be worn for sweep
ing and busting. though lightweight
canvas gloves can be substituted
here. And for gardening work. which
every woman should do if she has
any ground about her place at all. the
canvas gloves are an excellent pro-
