CHANGED IDEAS OF BEAUTY
Women No Longer Go to Extremes
Which Were Thought Necessary
Some Centuries Ago.

What women will not do to be
thought beautiful Is astounding even
now, but listen to these facts and
you'll agree that in 10 centuries femi-
ninity has gained something of COM
mon sense.
In Japan women used to gild their
teeth, while in the Indies they painted
them red. Guzerat women blackened
them.
In Greenland they colored their faces
blue and yellow.
The Peruvians did all sorts of stunts
to fiatten their heads, and everybody
knows how the Chinese women bound
I'D their feet to stop the growth.
The fashion Of patches came from
Arabia, probably beginning with the
astrological signs, but drifting into con-
ceits like small ships cut from the
black courtplaster worn at the courts
of the Louis.

went so far as to paste on moles In

CHAPTER XIV.
! Warn Dorothy.


The Portuguese, evidently well
pleased at my prompt acceptance of
/ his proposal. talked on for some time
explaining to me something of the sit
uation aboard the Namur, and point
ing out what he believed to be our
position on the chart. / asked a few
questions, although l paid but little
attention to what he said, my mind
being busted with searching out his
real purpose. No doubt the situation
was very nearly as he described 1t
to be-LeVere was no navigator, and
Estada himself only an Indifferent one.
Yet at that the course to the West
Indies was not long one, and If the
Portuguese had, been able to bring
the bark from there to the Chesa-
peake, the return voyage should not
terrify him. No, that was not the
object; he was planning to keep at
sea, to waylay and attack merchant
cruise, arrive at Porto Grande laden
with spoils and hailed as great
leader. His plan was to dispose of
Sanchez-even to permit the Spaniard
to die of his wounds; possibly even
to hasten and assure that death by
some secret resort to violence. No
doubt LeVere was also concerned In
the conspiracy and would profit by 1t,
and possibly these two were likewise
assured of the cooperation Of the
more reckless spirits among the crew.
l remembered what Watkins had whis-
pered to me forward-his suspicious
of them both. He had been right;
already the fuse was being laid, and.
very fortunately. happened to be
chosen to help touch 1t off. The
chance had sought blindly was being
plainly revealed.

that Estada had no intention of trust
