All that winter / went about as
hard as / could. / allowed
myself a moments leisure, for If l

and very little reai knowledge.
In other words, l was becoming
exactly like all these other women.
MY aunt, hearing me finish an
opinion on a much discussed novel
that was out that week, remarked
to my father,
you see, it's as l said. When
she was tied up to that man.. she
had no ideas beyond running her
house and repeating his opinions.

1 smiled a little to myself. The
opinion / had delivered with so
much conviction was the result of
a ten minutes perusal of a review
of that novel. My intelligence was
borrowed from headlines, from
glances at magazine articles, from
repetition of other people.
Nevertheless, 1 vas developing
one thing which neither my aunt
nor my father guessed. That was
a certain independence of mind.
Before, 1 had been a curious COM
bination of weakness and stubborn
ness, a very usual sort of combina-
ton.
Father became restless during the
winter and announced one morning
that he was off for Spain the end OF

Proper Bathing

Proper Bathing
A cold bath before breakfast is
good for some and bad for others.
II the individuals reaction to a bath
is exhilarating and has the tendency
10 produce good spirits, then the
bath, whether it be hot or cold, Is
beneficial to the person.
A young, vigorous heart and a
flexible set of arteries will, In re-
Spouse to the stimulus of a nipping
cold bath, carry the rich, warm blood
to the remotest extremities. A less
vigorous heart, or sitter blood ves-
sells, or a sluggish muscular tone
will leave the chattering victim of a
cold plunge nursing goose pimples."
Cold baths for such a person may
develop an irritability that often re-
suits In a full-grown case of neuras-
thenia. Therefore the temperature
of the bath should be gagged by the
way the individual reacts to it.
One a get practically the same
reaction from the tepid, warm or
even hot bath as from the cold bath.
The "kick," of course, is not so ex-
tensive, but the afterglow is just as
satisfying. The blood is driven from
the surfaces by the changed temper
atures but it m back more
quickly as the capillaries or hairlike
veins have not been so violently
contracted. To arouse the latent
vital energy, by inducing a definite
reaction to the nerves and blood
vessels and through them to the en-
tire body. is m of the chief func-
lions of the bath.
The warm bath Is the only safe
bath for those with heart irregulari-
ties, kidney diseases, rheumatism
and blood pressure conditions. 1t
also relieves the ache of fatigue bet
ter than any other kind of bath.
A tub is better for those who can
stand it than any amount of splash,
sponge or shower baths. This is due
to the fact that in standing our in
ternal organs hang vertically from
| the backbone. When we lie they
rest horizontally upon the backbone
or draped from it on either side,
When one is fully immersed In
water, the pressure on all sides Is
equalized. The lungs, spleen, liver,
and other internal organs float In
a water bath in entirely altered re-
lations to one another. This relieves
pressure on the heart and arteries
and gives a highly restful gravity
massage to all the internal organs.

THE LOVE PENDULUM"
By MARION RUBINCAM

comfort in being in the same city
with Winthrop. If anything hap
to him, he could always send
for me-he knew where l lived and
knew where he was. Once in
awhile I heard from him. | felt
that if l went so many thousand
miles away, 1t would be a complete,
ffal separation.
But 1 could not explain this to
father. Then the door opened, and
Colin WAS announced and l saw by
my fathers face that he took this
as the explanation. And that did
not please him any more than the
truth would have done.
Evidently a long consultation
with Aunt Harriet followed. My
father sailed as he intended. l
doubt whether anything but a Sc
ricus threat to my well-being would
have kept him home when the wan
dering fever was on him. He was
very charming and very heartless.
He loved me, as he said once. be-
cause l was a pretty woman, rather
than because l was his daughter.
Possibly l could not blame him.
He had seen very little of me either
as a child or a young woman, n
when he did see me, it was to n
characteristics that did not please
him.
Had I been homely, l doubt
whether he would ever have come
near me. But my prettiness pleased
him. and the admiration OF other
people for me delighted and fatter-
led him. OF course he was fond OF
I me. In his special case, his fond
ness took the form of warning my
aunt Harriet that my interest IN
Colin MacReady threatened to be as
disastrous as my interest In VIM
throp Taylor.
So NV aunt very subtly and clev-
erlv began to get rid of Colin, as
She had successfully gotten rid of
Gwendolyn. Colin was dropped by
everyone over whom she a any
infuence-and these same people
redoubled their attentions to me.
So there were many days during
the winter when l went places alone
or with my aunt or some of her
friends, and never saw MY one true
friend.
Colin and I both recognized her
game. Colin laughed, l threatened
to cut loose from my family.
I'll make your portrait the sue
cess of the Spring Exhibition, then
she won't dare not invite me- Colin
announced.
And he did-the full length pic
ture he had wanted to do, in the
clinging blue sequin dress, against
the black, shadowy velvet
and myself a little pale, as ! had
laughingly promised to be. Only
the pallor was natural now u ia
late hours and too much eXertion
during the winter.
The picture was an enormous
success; whether he wanted 1t or
not, Colin was once more a social
lion. 1t was written about, and
photographs of it printed in all the
papers and magazines. 1t led to
one interesting result.

REPOSE NECESSARY

IL h-'hs
Manicuring can produce beautiful
nails, but your hands will never be
beautiful until they have repose.
So make a conscious effort toward
grace in the movement of your
hands. This doesn't mean that you
should practice an affectation of
movement. For that Is destructive
OF beauty. But, keep your hands.
as much as it is possible, relaxed.
Don't grip the arms of the chair
when you sit down! Break that habit
of clenching your hands tightly when
they should be resting easily! On the
other hand, for the sake of the effect
on your friends. don't let your grip
be clammy.
The Manicure
Before beginning the real mani
curing of your nails, trim and file
them. Then hold them in a bowl of
warm soapy water for about five
| minutes. A little tincture of benzoin
is an addition which has n medicinal
effect.
When you remove your hands
from the water, dry them and then
push the skin back, forming the lit
tie half moons and clipping the cuti-
Gle where it is too long, Have a
care, though, lest you clip too close

This is read by astrologers as an
exceedingly unfortunate day. Saturn
and Mars are both in strongly
malefic aspect.
Mars is in a place indicating a
strong sentiment for wal and mill
tary achievements, which will
cause widespread discussion.
Saturn is in an aspect not at all
favorable for disarmament since all
the reactionary forces are set into
activity by the planetary rule.
Great and important changes
affecting the whole world are
prophesied to follow the conjunc'
ton OF Jupiter and Saturn next
month.
The conjunction of Mars and
Neptune this week is not good for
many of mems ambitions. 1t indi-
Gates great heat and many labor
troubles.
Strange crimes and much mad
ness will mark the next few weeks
and weather conditions will be re-
sponsible for suicides.
Religious scandals and contro'
versies will come much to the from
in the next three months. Prejudice
and superstition will be awakened
by the position of the stars.
Domestic harmony may be dis
tributed by today's aspect of Mars
which encourages quarrels anc
chickering's.
The aged may feel the effects OF
Saturn's adverse aspect today. They
| should safeguard their health anc
should not indulge in irritability.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is may
have rather a trying year, in Whlcf
they should dominate all the n
lions of their lives. .
Children born on this day vii

So as to lips and skin the smart

Of Lake Cayuga.
"Tony," he said huskily, don't you
don't you-like me at all?"
Tonnibel opened her eyes to their
fullest extent. Why, hadn't she kissed
him, oh, ever so many times? No

Tony didn't understand why she

thought came into her mind that she
was always making promises to some
one, but she couldn't refuse him, and
Philip went away little happier and
feeling much more secure.
