BEAUTY CHATS

Sometimes I wonder whether the average person, either man or wom- an, realies the value. indeed the ne cessity. of occasionally getting away from himself, Cor herself, the case may bel. This query is not the re- suit of anything specific that happen ed today, but only of my general ob- servation for long time.
 Of course I can hear my literal minded readers ask ''but how can we get away from ourselves? We are an and we cannot separate the nina from the body. How can we, there fore, get away from ourselves?
 And that is just the joint. It is possible in a way to separate the mind from the body.
 If the physical ''you'' must go on about the humdrum tasks of life, the office routine, or the deadly monotony Of dish washing, dusting and cooking it is still possible to separate yourself mentally from these tasks and to pu' yourself, your mental self, into more congenial or inspiring surround ings.
 And by this I do not mean that you should neglect the work you are obliged to do. Each of us has her 'tjob'' in this world, and the least she can do is to get through it creditably. But ones daily work need not absorb ones whole personality. And if it is dull or routine work it should never be allowed to do so. The more deadly | the routine the easier it is to do the | work quickly and efficiently, without | giving all ones mind and soul to it. That is advantage that the dull, daily grind has over the more diff cult forms of work.

And invarlaoly they are advised against matrimony Despite her discouraginS advice to ] young girls Mrs. TibbaH likes to re- call the romantic features of her own courtship.

Or if the work takes up all ones time and strength and energy, there are still the hours outside the job, which are for your improvement and Q}easure. Read inspiring books, It does not matter of what sort they are. Fiction takes most women into world outside their own, and for this reason the fiction chosen shoulda be of the best.
 I know one woman who is most happy when she is reading books on geology. And our grandmothers found their greatest inspiration in the stories and teachings of the Bible.
 Find your own world of the imagi- nation where you can get away from yourself and be what you want to be. I think that the more often you do this the more nearly you will come to being sy,our own ideal of yourself.
 And if any woman wishes to retain her youth and to increase her beauty she must take account of this ele- ment of the imagination. She must get away from herself into something better. unless she has already achiev- ed her ideal, but I personally have never met such a woman and doub, whether she exists.
 Mrs L.. B. S-The weird tick in the wall of your house which sounds to you like the tick of a clock is probably nothing more than a field mouse or the wind coming through some loose bit of the wall. I can as- sure you that it is not a death sign, as you suggest. T. can quite under stand your nervousness about it, but I am sure if JoI will investigate you will find commonplace cause.

 "Gerda, when was it that you first heard talk among the servants that there was something queer. about these two deaths so close together?"
 Something queer. sir ?" she repeat ed. c'Do you mean that it might be a tery?"

Two deaths in a month in the same house and, both from accident; it is enough to make any one afraid to stay here.'
 She had retrieved her mistake but added another to it by too obviously straining for effect.
 For a second Sergant Odel1 looked fixedly at Gerda. whom he was ques- tioning regarding the mysterious deaths.
 You yourself did not take any stock in their superstitious fears did you?" He deliberately adopted a more familiar tone and she as in- stinctively withdrew from it.

 "At what time did Peters leave the house?'
 "I don't know. sir but it must have been before g. He slrpped away while thed octor was here attending to MT Lorne, and none of us saw him go He didn't say a word to anybody, but just walked out; his things are al here in his room, Jane says. He was the most frightened of us all this week and kept saying that we would bem urdered in our beds, but don't think he meant it; he didn't exactly what he was afraid of.'

After the nurses came I was not all lowed in the room until just at the last and then madame was deirious.''
 Gerda had kept her curious light eyes steadily fixed on the detective's face, and although she replied readily almost mechanically, to his question: ing, the impression of hushed antict- patton fingered.
 "You know who I am. of course ?"
 Gerda bowed.
 "The officer detective from police headquarters, is it not so. Otherwise I should not be talking of madame.''
