PLEASANT PARTY GIVEN
BY MRS. AND MISS PYLES

The lawn party that was to have
been given Tuesday afternoon at $50
at the suburban home of Mr.. and Mrs.
s. r. Pyles, which Mrs. Pyles and her
daughter, Miss Catherine Pyles, had
planned in compliment TO the formers
daughter, Miss 0phelia Sawtelle, of
New York city, and her two guests,
Misses Isabel and Ethel Sheimberger,
of Baltimore, was converted into an
indoor picnic on account Of the down
pour of rain, and if anything proved
more enjoyable and informal than if
the entertainment had been as first
planned, under the magnificent oaks
that surround the Pyles home.
Over twenty-five guests responded
to the invitation and as always every
body was made to feel at home. Music,
games, etc, and lively conversation
entertained the guests for the first
part of the evening during which time
punch was served A sumptuous sup
per was then served, picnic style, and
in every way this compliment to
Miss Sawtelle and the Misses Sheim-
berger was a most pleasant occasion,
for it gave Miss Sawtelle's many
friends the opportunity of enjoying a
visit with her and making the acquain-
lance of her two attractive friends,
and all regret to lear nthat their visit
to ocala will only last until Monday
afternoon.
Mrs. Pyles and Miss Pyles will
again entertain tomorrow evening for
Miss Sawtelle and the Misses Sheim-
berger and the invited guests on this
occasion will be the married friends
of the Pyles family.

CHAPTER CCIII.

CHAPTER CCIII. Mrs. Cosby,' I called again to the empty room.
 Of course there wasn't any an swer- I waited a minute or two as if I expected Valerie Cosby to ma terialze from some of the cobwebby chiffons that were flung across chairs and doorknobS. Then, very quietly, I went out and shut the door noise lessly after me. I ran back to my own room and let myself in.
 There was a big armchair over by the window. I sank down on it, and sitting stiffly on the edge, folded my hands and let my arms hang Imply in front of it. I looked idly at the window pane, but I don't think I was looking through it, exactly. My eyes seemed sightless, omehow-indiffer- ent. Gradually, I began to notice that silvery radiance was stealing through the room I raised my eyes to follow it to the window-out into the night.
 Moonlight said, suddenly, Moonlight"
 Then I began to -sullenly. resentfully.

 down stairs again or she might have come upstairs by now.
 He might. She might. But I knew better. In every resentful beat of my heart, I knew that Valerie Cosby and Jim were out in the moonlight together-knew that I was being made a fool of. And so was Lane Cosby. I wondered what he'd do if he knew.
 Valerie and Jim in the moonlight.  honeymoon week. As I sat there dry-eyed and sullen, it seemed some how that it was the moonlight I re- sented- Why hadn't they said they them? Not I; surely not that indul- gent, adoring brown bear,e Lane Cosby. They needn't have put it over on us like this. They needn't have taken us for fools.
 There wasn't a thing I could do. Nothing but wait. I saw that. I'd be making still worse fool of my self if I telephoned downstairs and asked for my husband. If he were in the hotel he'd snar1 at me for dis turbing him. If he were out in the moon1ight-what then? It was had enough for me to suspect. Surely there was no object in having the whole hotel know.
 I must have sat there like that for half an hour. Then there was a knock at my door, I went to answer and found Lane Cosby in the hall chuckling, actually chucklng.
 May I come in?' he asked quite innocently.
 '.I' better come out into the han.'' replied co1dly.
 .'Oh, :yes-of course" he said, as if it really didn't matter at all. I've just had a phone message from my little madcap. She didn't go to bed. after all.

Beauty Chats By Edna Kent Forbes

course, reduce to possess lines of beauty. If you are round-shoulder- ed, you must straighten up. The best way to acquire beautiful arms and shoulders is to exercise and to stand straight.
 One splendid exercise for overcom- ing round shoulders is as follows: Lie flat on the floor, with the arms along the sides of your body. Slowly open them out, keeping them always so they touch the floor, and bring them over the head. Return to your original position. This exercises practically every muscle down the back and it raises the chest It should be done about 25 times, twice day, that is about 50 times alto gether.

THE STORY so FAR:

About o'clock on Christmas
 morning. Peterson. the commits
 S1onaire, was returning home from a small jollifcation. In front
 of him he saw in the light of a
 street lamp a tallish man, walk
 ing with a slight stagger, carrying
 a white goose slung over his
 shoulder. At the street corner
 a row occurred between this man and some roughS. The man raiS-
 ed his stick to defend himself and with it broke a window. Alarmed at this, and seeing Pet erson following him. he ran away, dropping his hat and the goose. Peterson picked them up. On the goose was a card with the words For Mrs. Henry Baker" and in the hatband were the in itials H. B.. Peterson took the hat to Sherlock Holes and took the goose home, but soon rushed back to the great. detective with beautiful jewel his wife had found in the goose's crop. Holmes recognized this as the Countess of Morcar's blue carbuncle. lost five days before at the Hotel Cosmo- @ politan, for which a reward of a. thousand pounds was offered. John Horner. a plumber, who had been mending a broken grate in the countess room, had been ar rested for the robbery.
 To test Henry Baker, Holmes put an add in the evening papers say ing that his goose and hat had been found. Baker called in an SWer to the ad to see Holmes. Holmes gave him the hat. and another goose, saying he had eaten the original, but that Baker might have the feathers, feet, crop, etc. Baker laughingly refused them. Then Holmes and Watson went to an inn where Baker said he got the goose. The innkeeper sent them to a sales man in Covent Garden from whom he bought his geese. Just after Holmes had questioned this salesman, learning that he got his geese from a. Mrs. Oakshott, a whining, white-faced, little man came up to demand his goose. The salesman kicked him out Holmes followed him.

Advice To The

THE REFINED GIRL.

Dear Miss Fairfax
 am a high school girl and con- s1oered good looking. I live near a boys college and know quite a few of the men who attend. Now, what 1 can't understand is, there are about i've or six girls who always travel to- geoher They are a very loud and noisy crowd but seem to be very pop ular with the boys. The men I meet are very nice and say they will call and take me out, but this they never do. My girl friend goes to business. therefore I am hardly even out ex- cept in the evenings and we are re- ferred to as ''refined' girls. Why is 1t the men take a fancy to the loud girls and not to the refined ones,
 Youth is often guilty of bad taste. It isn't SeIectiEe. It hasn't deyeI- oped a sense Of values Of course you and your chur1 long for good times, but don't lower your stand ards Being gay and conspicuous undoubtedly would attract attention. It might bring you a little cheap fun But it cant bring yon anything real or lasting. Look beyond the moment and believe that a fine type of man hood will never be attracted perma nently by a woman who lacks sweet nese and honesty and simplicity and the fragrance of personality the bra zen girls lack.

OUARRELSOME MARRIAGES
 BECOMING MORE COMMON

London-Are married people be coming more Quarrelsone?
 It would seem to be so, for applica- tions for separation orders have in creased enormously in the London police courts, according to Rev. Harry Pearson; secretary of the Po- lice Court Mission.
 Many of these are on very frivo- lous grounds said MT. Pearson, "and the magistrate hands the case over to our missionaries. In 50 per cent. of the cases a reconciliation is eff fected.
 tOf course, our missionaries have to be very tactfu1. One of them said to me: If I can just get one of them to smile the trick is done.'
