Mildred stopped in her own room
on her way down TO dinner. Turn
ing on the light, she fastened back
stray wisp of hair, then, opening a
small drawer, took out bottle of
hquid rouge. With her finger tips,
she rubbed little of this into her
already flushed cheeks.
Tom said once that he loved brill
liant coloring - so l may as we'll
make sure that mine will stay brill
liant she whispered.
She washed her hands, gave an
additional polish te her well-shaped
finger nails. and poured a few drops
of perfume into her palms, rubbing
it in well.
He said he wanted to kiss my
hands" she smiled. Il hope he will.
He certainly has much prettier
ways than Arthur has"
With parting glance in the mir
ror at her pink cheeks and sparkling
eyes, she went on down to the lower
hall
Come right out to dinner, won't
you?' she called to Tom.
The soup had been eaten, the
Katie had gone into the kitchen
speech.
DO you know" with a long look
across the table at his Vis-a-viS,
what this situation makes me think
Off"
NO. What" was the guileless
query.
1T reminds me of two married
people in their own little home at
their own little table. 1t almost
makes me sad. Mildred - and it
makes me envious.'
''Envious?" she repeated.
Her heart was beating with joy. He
was about to say some of the things
she longed to hear him say.
Yes" he insisted, lit makes me
envious of Bruce. He's a lucky dog.
l hope he knows how lucky. I sup
pose" regretfully, that when I re-
turn you and he will be married.
Just think of it,
Indeed we will not be married."
Mildred exclaimed.
Why not?"
Because 1 am in no hurry to get
married. Anyway. I would not
think of such a thing until the war
is over. 1t may be that Arthur will
go himself"
You mean."-the question was
put so innocently that it was hard
to believe that the sting it con-
tanned was intentional-"you mean
that he will be drafted?"
Il mean that he may enlist" Mil
dred declared. You do not look as
if you believed that. Why don't
you?"
Because" he explained gently,
the men who have any idea of en-
listing are doing so now"
But Arthur feels he should not
just now. He is needed at home
or so he says she added desper-
ately.
She felt a sudden disgust for Ar
thur. Why need he put her in a
position where she must apologize
for him?
He would claim exemption on
the very grounds that keep him
from enlisting now" Chandler ar

other things"-as Katie entered to.

with the exercise of powers, new
powers shall appear"
She nodded. "Caruso said the other
day that he never refused an en-
Sagement. 1t might not always be
to his liking. but the experience
counted. People waste such "a lot Of
time in wondering whether they had
better do this or that. The thing
is to do something. and do it with
your might. The next chance is
bound to come and experience always
counts"

Applying This Paste
Actually Removes Hairs
(Beauty Notes.

Merely applying an inexpensive
paste to a hairy surface, say beauty
specialists, will dissolve the hairs
This paste is made by mixing lit
tie water with some powdered della
tone: after about . minutes it is
rubbed off and the skin washed.
This simple method not only re-
moves every trace of hair, but leaves
the skin free from blemish. To in
sure success with this treatment, be
careful to get real delatone.

SHOOTING At cltmtAcrAu AND CIVILIZATION

Clemenceau was shot yesterday. The
shots at the old premier but failed TO
Kill him. Old Tiger Clemenceau dies
hard He will go on living and fight
ing for plain and safe peace based
on actualities and not on the dreams
Of self appointed advance agents of the
millennium.
or course it was an anarchist who
shot Clemenceau. Clemenceau is lion
in the way OF the anarchists and boil
shevists and 80 called advanced social
lists. He is a practical man with a
memory. He does not expect Germany
10 change from pirate to pacihst in the
twinkling of an eye. He would safe
guard the world against another de-
bacle by practical measures rather than
with idealistic oratory. Clemenceau
believes in civilization as It is rather
than as the George d. Herrons would
have il. He holds to the home and the
laws. Had Clemenceau been accredit-
ed spokesman for the forces great and
lesser than are assailing present Gay
civilization he would have been safe
from attack. His attempted assasina :
lion was the hand directed by the
mind of bolsheviks and kindred ideal
ists".
We have used the words 'ideai" and
'idealism" in America TO designate
righteous impulses and desires until
We have accepted limitation OF rs
meaning TO righteousness. 1t is now
time that We study and realize that the
ideals" of the Herrons and the Ideals
Of the bolsheviks and anarchists are
vastly different from the idealsm Of
the American citizen. The one is a
weapon directed against The home and
the civilization that has grown about
and out Of the home, the other is a
weapon Of defense.
If the United States could be polled
it would be found that Clemenceau
represents the sense and wishes and the
hopes Of this country more than any
one man who has appeared at the
peace table. His escape from the as
sassin's bullet is cause for great thank
fitness in America as in France.

4 LETTER AND 4 Sohe.

letter from a construction en2l-
ueer now a member OF the sd engi-
noers in France will strike the average
citizen as voicing a just complaint.
The Twenty third is an engineer regi-
ment Of volunteers to the last man.
They were among the first 100000 to
go 10 France. It Will DC recalled that
the engineering press was loaded with
advertisements appealing 10 the pa
,riotism Of the engineers, stating the
dire necessity for their services and
that the trade papers were volumin-
Uuzly urgent editorialiy. The re-
sponsc Of the engineers was noDly
made. Hundreds OF men left excellent
positions paying from $500 to $1,000
a year TO enter the engineering regl-
ments as priyates. The writer OF the
letter referred to above is John StoufTer
4 member Of The Ingersoll- Stouffer
Engineering Company of this city. His
monthly drag" OF $3.50 per month and
profits Of the firm are awaiting him
here and the firm is badly crippled by
his absence. So when he writes that:

! my own eyes stating that due 10 the
