1t hardly seemed bN 'i'i'iNN

suffered because of him, suffered the
hot anger Of youth and the humiliation
that a woman always feels when she

Even now she hated to look back
upon that night when all her dreams

had seemed as though in a single

she had loved. But in spite of herself
her thoughts insisted upon drifting back

seemed to have no control.
And after she had tortured herself
sufficiently with useless remembering
what did she have left? The certainty
that all men were unworthy, and not

would never in all her life give her love

of breaking other mems hearts as Alvin

They Approve Of Freddy"

Dear Cynthia--First Impressions are
always lasting, and after reading the
letter written by "Reddy" to your col

that the boys prefer the paint and pow

great many of them do. just as a
great many of the fellows prefer the
painted dolls and short skirts. Now, It
seems to us that one might as we'll be
dead If he is not In vogue. II is a
common expression to hear the girls say,

aren't nifty dressers! Wear patent
leather shoes. trick suits n everything ."

And When Summertime Work Economy Takes Hr \,
of Your Everyday Life You Feel Lost and Lonely

TT SOMETIMES happens that quiet
i little person comes into the range Of
your acquaintance.
You like,her right away, and as you
come to know her better you are glad
you liked her at first.
Then chance, or fate, or whatever you
call It, brings you closer together. puts
YOU in the same office. arranges for
YOU to room at the same house, or brings
her to live near you 30 that you see her
every day.
And with that strange nonchalance
which seems to be part Of the human
nature. as you take her into your every
day life you forget your admiration for
her and simply take her for granted.
She comes and goes with dainty sort
of thoughtfulness which thinks Of nice
things to do when. you want nice things
done without realizing 1t. and yet never
intrudes with bothersome things when
Won don't want bothersome things done.
Her likes and dislikes seem to fit into
vour own in a pleasing way that you
accept as mildly surprising.
You discover that she loves dogs, that
the WAYS Of children amuse her. that
abe doesn't like to see man smoke a
stubby cigar. that she has seen and liked
the movie that you saw and liked.
TO your joy she remarks one day that
the man in the corner drugstore, ought
70 be named Edgar because he looks like
Edrar--and as you watch him preparing
Ave cents worth Of prepared chalk. you
realize that he couldn't possibly be
called anything but Edgar to be true
to his appearance.
THERE are all kinds of little quirks
i and curves in the nature of this
friend that meet up with the curlicues
in your own, and you appreciate the
fact highly.
But with It all she has such a demure
personality. such an easy little manner
that you take It all as matter OF
course.

Making Up Your Face
By wINIFRED HARPER COOLEY

for being" then ugliness and the De-
ginning of natures decay are thelr own
excuses for artificial means of prolong-
ing youth and charm.
Contrast the worn and parchment
yellow face of the woman VINO does nor
even use dash of delicate pertumcd
powder with that of her city cousin
who is carefully but tastefully made up
The former looks ten or hfteen years
older and far less attractive. IL Doth
are good. sweet, kindly women, their
morals differ not the slightest, simply
because one woman has become worldly
and sophisticated enough to know now
to enhance her natural beauty.
Look about you. You can see these
contrasts constantly. People, men and
women both, will say to you, How
fresh and pretty you look today; You
must be taking life easy" Yet you
may be working very hard. 1t is simply
that you take good care of your com
plexion, keep clean, use cold cream at
night and little delicate white and
pink powder. The vast majority of peo
pie do not penetrate the makeup. They
do not know what it is that makes you
Charming they only feel vaguely that
you are agreeable to look at-and surely
there is nothing degenerate or shocking
in creating a soothing and pleasant i'm =
preston on the eye of the bchOlder.

who are sensible enough to make up

No vestige of healthy. transparent

bright red that resembles nothing nat.

prevents the natural ebb and flow of tht
human blood, so that we nevermore see
the bright, pretty bushes sutfusing thu

The nose being more protruding, bears
the brunt of the whitewashing, and il
unnaturally white, a CHASTITY sight, re.

shame now, shame that she had Deen
so easily deceived, infinite shame that
she had ignored the warnings of others
that Alvin Reed could never settle down
TO one woman.
And so she had given him her prom

blndly happy. Then had come the night
when they had gone together TO the
Raymond dance. She even remembered
the feeling of pride she had had in
being seen with him at an affair OF
that kind. And then during the eve

with Alicia Ramsey in his arms: His
fair head was bent over her dark one,
aS tall and slender she leaned against
him. giving herself up to the passion OF
his kisses. And Nancy had stood there
swaying in the doorway of the conserv r
atory. unable to go backward or for
ward, her eyes rooted to the scene
before her, till with q little cry Alicin
saw her, gasped and drew quickly
away. :,
Before Alvin could turn his head
Nancy had vanished. She remembered
how she had hidden nerSel upSt"'S III
