is the modern product of the ever
green which bloomed on the Hell
lenic hills and occupied a place of
honor in the gardens of Olympus.
The ancients believed the myrtle
to be sacred to Venus. goddess of
love. and the superstition carried
over into new-wcrld nomenclature.

heart she will be Irresistible, ac-
cording to the arcient belief.
Despite the charming fancy which
accounts for its derivation. Myrtle
is more often regarded as a floral
name by etymologists. It's greatest
vogue is undoubtedly in England.

Large hotels in Washington dur
ig the last few days have been
paying up the additional compensa-
tion due a great number of their
emrloyas under the minimum wage

Minimum Wage Board. The pay

the wage law.
When the measure went into ef-
feet May 26. many of the large hos

TO write postscript to my story.
Many things have happened In
this interval of time.
cenary any more. For, as Travis
Lloyd. IN spite of the doctors re-
marks about his wonderful consti-
tuition, he did not make the rapid
recovery they predicted. After two
months in bed. he took a short holi-
day abroad with Tony, and then re-
turned to his beloved country home.
But his full health was rather
slow in coming back. Jim and i
visited him four months after the
shooting incident. and he seemed
much older-looking, easily tired, and
more and more dependent on his son.
~ As for the latter, Tony seemed TO
be quite a reformed character. He
busted himself tremendously in the
affairs OF the estate. He was a
model son, though / did hear that
occasionally he went up to town,
and had a little fling.
Yet country life appeared to suit
him. And indeed there was plenty
of society in the neighborhood- He
had lots of money at his disposal
Mr.. Travis Lloyd was certainly gen.
erous towards his son and heir
and Tony could indulge many luxur-
ious tastes which hitherto had beer
beyond his means.
With things running easily for
him, then, Tony's character had ap-
parently undergone a change for the
better.
THE chaps almightily improved '
even Jim declared - and. my hus-
band had had no special love for
Tony. so this was high praise.
He makes a first-class agent and
manager of the estate" Mr.. Travis
Lloyd declared. immensely delighted
with Tony's reformation.
Anstruther Lodge-Alice's former
home-was now in other hands, and
Alice working hard in town at her
musical career" To my astonish-
ment. she did work hard.
My teacher says I'll make a great
hit on the concert platform" she in
formed me one day. "Of course,
there's always the stage. But the
life's too rough for me-" She
shrugged her shoulders dsintily.. Il
might, however, try grand opera.
That's done by the very best people
and the social end OF the thing is
wonderful"
Thus did Alice unburden herself
modestly.
Jim and his father are completely
reconciled. We often stay for week
ends at the town house of his par
ents. Mrs. st. Aubyns has a very
tender corner in her heart for me
She knows the whole circumstances
of our marriage.
From the moment that 1 first
saw you, Helene" she said once
with tears of happiness in her kind
ly eyes, 'T wanted you for Jim.

my husband.
And so we shall see the world
together,
This morning we received a tele-
gram which somehow did not aston
ish either of us very much. 1t was
from Alice, and 1t ran:
Tony And I married this morning.
Blissfully happy. Please wire con-
gratulations"
Jim turned to me. and he was
smiling
"A few months ago,"she remarked.
I'D have said they were both to be
pitied! I'd have been sorry for
them both. But now-Helene-I do
believe their chances of happiness
are quite good. They've learned a
few things in the last six months
or so. And, without a doubt, Alice
adores the fellow"
I nodded. Loving my Jim as
did, / could understand another
woman's point of view.
"Alice could never stand a lonely
life. And l know she cares for
Tony very much. AS for Tony, his
motives toward Alice can't be mer-
cenary any more. For. as Travis
Lloyd's heir, his prospects are n
hundred times better-fnancially-
than her own"
To which Jim acquiesced.
And then he turned and caught
me in his arms.
But in all the world. there's no
happier couple than ourselves" he
whispered.

Is This Your Type2' .ss::sassov' 81: :;.:::':
JUNE rs is THIS YOUR TYPE
THE INDIAN TYPE.

IhE IN olAN
There Is as great a difference be-
tween the two Popular conceptions
of the Indian worsr's Appearance
as there Is between the impression
conveyed by the word "squaw" and
that conveyed by Lonsfeilow's Hia-
watha. One suggests a souat, sal
low-faced. sms1l-eyed drudge. and
the other q queenl.< creature. 1.-THE
OF figure. with satiny bronze skin.
glossy black hair and strongly
marked Ieatui es indicative Of pride
and endurance.
A man who hss actually studied
the modern Ind:ar with an open
mind tells US that the Indians ideal
of feminine beauty consists of .
broad nat face, small eyes. high
cheek bones. three or four broad
black lines across each cheek, a low
forehead. a large broad chin. a
clumsy hook nose, and tawny skin"
The comment has often been
made by English folk and other
Europeans that American faces are
all alike. They seem to feel that
while there are less excessively
ugly Americans that Europeans
there are likewise fewer remarka-
bly, beautiful faces. In spite of the
fact that our population is so mix
ed in race and origin there seems
to be a tendency toward uniformity
of feature and expression. Re-
Gently Kate earew, the English
caricaturist. after visiting this
country explained this situation to
her own satisfaction thus: English
people can open their eyes, but in
America the light Is, so strong thar
II gives everybody the narrowed
eyes and lifted cheekbones charac-
teristic of the native Indians"
1t Is true that there seems to be
a tendency toward greater height
and toward a modification of voice
among persons of various original
stock. This is undoubtedly due
somewhat IL not entirely to the ef-
feet of climate and soil which in
directly effects US through water
and food. And since these infiu-
ences are much the same as in the
days of the Indians II would not
be surprising IL we were actually
acquiring more and more of the In
dian characteristic.
