When Doris came back. obediently
washed and refreshed with the color
creeping back in her cheeks, a dinner
tray had been arranged on q tabouret
beside the divan, drawn to the fire.
Darlington tucked her costly into a
corner of it and served her from the
tray. Then he lit cigarette and
threw himself into a chair opposite.

Beauty and Health.

AS Time makes his inroads on youth
and there begins a slight sagging OF

gin to appear. women nearing middle
age begin to take beauty treat

defeating the ravages OF Time. Half
the time and effort given to the whole
body instead of to that area of skin
covering the face and hands would
certainly bring the Spring of Eternal
Youth more nearly within reach. You
can not really tone up small patch
OF skin but must renew the whole
structure.
There are two and a quarter million
glands under the surface, usually
mere or less clogged. These need the

CITIZENSHIP
SCHOOLS GOOD
FOR MEN, TOO:

Since woman suffrage has spon-
sored women citizenship schools IN
several States, and at least thrce
State universities have issued
courses of study in civics to al
women who apply. many men who
have voted because they were malS
and 81 are beginning to wonder -
preliminary instruction in the art
OF voting may not be a good thing.
The universities OF California and
North Carolina have issued regular
study outlines on citizenship Tor
women New Hampshire and Dart
mouth are cooperating and the
University OF Minnesota is the
fourth TO be heard from.
Minnesota's university has gone
further in cooperating than has
any other. 1t has just held a short
course in citizenship for women
voters, conducted jointly by the
universitys general extension divi-
sion and the Minnesota League or
Women Voters. Registration for
the day lectures was limited to 500
and to 600 for the evning lectures.
But the popular demand FOR sd-
mission was SO great that admits
sion TO the latter had to be
stretched to 500.
University professors claimed
they had never carried on more
satisfactory extension work and
that the evident grade OF intelli-
gence as evinced by the questions
and interest of the women was un-
usually high. Newspapers Of IN"
State showed great interest in the
course and in the attitude of the
women. Schools for men were ad-
vocated. the Minneapolis Tribune

average male voter is not on very
sure ground as to many OF the sub
jects discussed in this university

CUSTOMS OF OTHER
TIMES AND LANDS

An ancient custom observed In
countries of Europe on St Valentines
Day was that OF the young men draw
ing names Of maids by chance. A
man paid many courtesies to the maid
whose name he had drawn. For n
year following each stood TO the
other in the relation Of Cavalier and
Lady. An English version OF the Gus
tom entailed as well the drawing OF
the mems names by the maids. Thus
each person had two valentines.

The world has accredited French
women with two paramount beauty
characteristics-petit figures and
vivacious personalities. This latter
produces an animation of face and
eyes that has a direct effect on a
woman's physical appearance.
French women are wise in their
day and generation. They know that
a dropping mouth and sullen eyes
detract from even the most perfec,
features. while a bright and happy
facial expression will do much toward
removing the curse OF even a turned
up nose or a receding chin.
