"The Loue Cowards"

drew long breath Of relief and gave
herself up to the pleasure Of the after
noon.
Ii would be nice to see people again,
to talk to some one besides Miss Hender-
son and to forget for time the mys-
terious happenings that had woven
themselves so closely about her life.
And when they finally turned into Yer.
mont street and went up the steps OF
the white Colonial house Nancy felt
thrill Of pleasurable excitement.
The door was opened Immediately by
a neat maid with a smiling, rosy face.
She took them into big, old fashioned
room, where CHEEKY fire was burn.
ing, and a slender little white haired
woman rose to meet them.
You are Miss Hathaway she said,
smiling up at Nancy, "and this Is little
Trix. Dick has told me all about you
Let me take your things and We'll have
tea in a moment. Dick will be coming
in directly"
Trix was sitting on a low stool be-
fore the fire and Mrs. Hunt and Nancy
were chatting pleasantly when DR..
Hunt put in an appearance. A moment
later the neat maid, who was called
Hilda, brought tea, and they all made
merry over 1t. Nancy had never seen
Trix so gay. The haunting look In her
amber eyes had disappeared and her
lovely little face was chidishly glad.
Once after she had looked at Trix for
long moment she met DR.. Hunts
blue eyes fixed on her. A few minutes
later. when she rose to 60 over and ex.
anime a print on the wall, he followed
her and spoke in a low voice.
Miss Hathaway, am very much
interested in little Trix. How is she
getting along? No more fainting or
nervousnessI'
she's been ever so much better"
Nancy spoke hesitatingly. There was
something about this big man with his
clear blue eyes that invited confidence.
II only 1t were possible to tell him the
truth, and after all, why not? II there
were consequences of any kind as
result Of this afternoons visit DR..
Hunt ought to know. He would be the
one person to call on for help, and
Nancy never knew when she might need
the aid Of some one.
"You don't feel that you can tell me
anythingT" DR.. Hunt went on.
She turned to him then and spoke
impulsively in low voice.
II haven't spoken because I am en-
ployed by Miss Henderson and I have
hesitated at betraying any condolences.
But l am worried. and I feel that
can trust you with something that
seems to threaten TriX constantly. Mr..
Henderson dislikes the child, he has
some power over her, and I am afraid
of his influence. II anything should
happen l should like some one to turn
to; some one l can trust"

No. 1O-The Dome Head"


Popularity the dome head" is sup.
posed to denote great mental power.
Scientifically, 1t actually does, provid-
ing you accept the proper defpition
of it.
The scientists classify it as "the
mental type" You recognize it by
looking at the full face. If the fore
head Is high, and the widest point of
the head above the level of the eyes, the
head tapering more or less sharply to-
ward the chin, you know you're look
ing at dome head
Men and women Of this class are,
first and foremost, thinkers. In the
extreme Of the type, which you'll
recognize by the sharply tapering lines
of the face to n narrow chin, even the
physical being seems to be subordinated
to the mental.
Persons in this classification are very
often Of the type that the world con
siders Impractical. That is, they
ore intensely interested in theory. To
this class belong many Of the world S
great scientists, men who have dis
covered previously unknown laws of
nature, who have opened up new realms
Of mathematics. sociology, political
economy, chemistry, electricity and the
like.
But you'll find when they have been
pioneers in the practical application OF
their theories to the problems of in
dustry and commerce that they are
modified examples Of the dome head
class, or rather, that their modifying
characteristics are such as to incline
them in practical directions instead OF
into certain other lines-for no man or
woman ever stops short at being a
dome head" and there's big diff
ference between the dome head" with
bulging forehead and the one with q

When the princess wishes to be very,
very stylish this summer she copies
the frock of the peasant. These peas
ant modes, with their slashed bodces
and full skirts, have had many inter-
esting versions at the hands Of famous
and exclusive French dressmakers.
One Of the stunning models from
Paris displays a full skirt Of black taf
feta with a bodice of light blue silk
bound in black. The sleeves of this
model are seven eishths length, and
the low neckline shows folds OF lace
above. The sleeveless and tight fitting
eorselet bodice Is also stressed in these
peasant modes. as is witnessed by an
other Paris creation in which n corse-
let OF black velvet showing sleeves and
guimpe and tiny peplum OF white crepe
combines with full skirt of black
lace.
Although longer Of waist than the
most literal peasant modes, the black
taffeta dress illustrated today reveals
this influence In the slashed bodice and
in the low curve of the neckline. The
full skirt is also slashed TO give way to
lace trimmed white organdie. The sauie
material foras the yestss.
