CHAPTER ~.

The heat Of the day had quite passed. !
Andrea felt Of her arnis. They were
soft and cool. She laid them on the
table and studied them, as though she
never had noticed them before. She
was thinking that all her fright had
died away. She was alone with man,
alone by over a hundred miles and yet
never had she felt less lonely, more
secure. She threw up her head, turned
to her companion with n smile and
said Ivc decided not to sulk, White

What was perchance one of the
most cordial social and interesting OF
the many wonderful meetings Of the
Woman's Club was held yesterday af-
ternoon in the Presbyterian chapel in
the form of a Presidents Tea" All
business was suspended owing TO the
length of the program save the en-
d0rsement Of petition presented by
the Parent-Teachers Association,
asking that auditoriums be built in all
of the new schools and that some
room be made in the grammar school
for the asSemblage OF the people. At
the present time m messag 20 to the
pupils Of the school at large must be
delivered in the pen yard.
The afternoons program was open
ed within an address by Miss
Nancy Thompson, of the State
Normal school in Newark, who
is a specialist on juvenile books. She
spoke on What Books to Give Chill
dren and Why" She said that chill
dren copy things and when they see
a picture that interests them they un-
consciously attempt to copy it. That
IS the reason why pictures of children
hurting dumb animals. hurting old
people or making fun of creatures of
different races or colors are very in
furious TO the child. One of the first
things to consider Is that the print is
net fine. No child will read a book
the print Of which Is too fine or whose
owe and binding is not attractive.
One reason why the classics in the
high schools are not appreciated as
much as what is termed trash" Is
because the s~o-called trash" IS more
attractively bound and more inter
estingly presented Miss Thompson had
a number of very rare and beautiful
books with her as illustrations Owing
to the program which followed her
talk was necessarily curtailed, but
there Is talk of having her visit the
city again shortly to address another
meeting of an organization.
The guest of honor of the afternoon
Mrs John H. Schermerhorn, OF
Orange, State Federation president,
was then introduced. Mrs. Schermer-
horn was very enthusiastic over the
splendid club which this city has in
its midst, but condensed her ak to
THE aids and needs of the state feder-
atoms. The federation is the instru-
ment through which state wide move
merits are dispersed. The Thrift cam
paign recently inaugurated by the u.
S. Treasury was turned over to the
national federation n through them
to the state federation and through
1.-THE latter institution each club and
every community vas reached. This
is one of the few organizations which
has no paid workers within its ranks.
Cultured women r expanding ener-
gies day after day for the $4,000 wom-
en- which constitute the New Jersey
federation. She emphasized the fact
that today the people of that nation
have realized that women are needed.
Women put heart and soul into work
while men use their head. The latter
makes a perfect working machine the
former a human striving creature.
Miss Mary A. Daniels, of Ocean
Grove. vice president of the third
district, spoke for a few minutes up
on the great things to be done in an
organization where a whole lot of
women are trying to do the same
thing.

Beautiful Hands.
1t has always been my pet theory
that all hands were essentially pretty
and that ugly, mishapen palms and
fingers come from improper care.
OF course, l do not mean to imply
that there are not some hands that
are more beautiful than others, but
with the proper treatment any girls
hands can be made nice.
A solution of rose water, gyler-
Inc and lemon juice is a compound

Nails are an index to character, and
they are SO often neglected. A screen
director objects just as strenuously to
the long, sharp-pointed nails as he
does to those pared to the quick. A
happy medium should be reached.

important essentials for a successful

(WcII known Screen Star.)

While a beautiful face and per-
feet complexion are real gifts of the
gods to a women there are five
points Of physical perfection that are
absolute requisites to the successful
screen star.
They are the teeth, hands, eyes,
hair and figure.
These can be controlled to a large
extent by the individual. They are a
matter of physical and personal care,
and at the command of any oman
Care of Hair.
If you are contemplating a career
on either the stage or screen begin at
once to take especial care of your
hair.
If one should ask what the first
thing the name MARY Pickford"
brings to mind, nine out of ten people
would answer ~'curls." 1t is true that
one of the greatest assets q motion
picture actress can have Is lovely hair
but 1t matters not whether this hair
is straight or curly, so long as 1t Is
natural.
You will photograph just as well
with straight hair. If you will only fol-

teeth. 1t cam be done that's all.
And in any walk in life good teeth
are a decided asset.
Brush the teeth thoroughly three
times a day with some good paste
which is not TOO strong. Also a
mouth wash used in the morning and
just before going to bed at night is
an excellent means of keeping the
mouth clean and sweet and the tender
gums in good condition.
Expressive Eyes.
The eyes are the windows of the
soul and also the light of the motion
picture stars life. Use them with
care and compassion.
Don't read in bed at night as this
is the quickest means to weak watery
eyes Reading In exceptionally strong
sunlight is very bad as is also the use
of direct, high-powered artificial
light.
How to Keep Thin.
The only rules required to keep
obesity away from your door are the
rules of common sense. Don't eat be-
tween meals. Have your meals at
certain hours, and then do not de-
viate from the fixed time. And it is
an excellent idea to keep your sys-
tenn well flushed by drinking a great
deal of water.
The excessive S of sweets Is to be
discouraged as it is very conducive
to fat. Exercise and sleeping out of
doors are the best known enemies
of obesity.
