 Surely my deductions are simpli- city in itself,'' said he. Ut would be difficult to name any articles which afford a finer field for inference than a pair of glasses, especially so re- markab1e a pair as these. That they belong to a woman infer from their dehcacy, and also, of course, from the last words Of the dying man. As to her being a person of refinement and well dressed, they are. as you perceive, handsomely mounted in sol i'd gold, and it is inconceivable that any one who wore such glasses could be slatternly in other respects. You will find that the clips are too wide for your nose, showing that the lady's nose was very broad at the base. This sort of nose is usually a short and coarse once, but there is a sufficient number of exceptions to prevent me from being dognatic or from insist ing upon this point in my description. My own face is a narrow one. and yet find that I cannot get my eyes into the centre, nor near the centre,

 MADE BEAUTIFUL
DOROTHY ETHFl WALSH

Radiators are necessary things we all agree, but sometimes they are not decorative. Due to this fact modern styles have sponsored the hidden radiator. This hiding process is ac- conpIished in different ways. Some coverings are made of box line ar engagements in which are set cane panels. Some are of gri1led wood. There are many ways in which to let a radiator blush unseen. It is how ever wise when planning these GOV CTS to make certain they will not in terfere with the radiation.
 An expert called in consultation often saves a lot of time and money which might be spent later if the heating apparatus is denied the right to function.
 There is a most simple home made" way of hiding the radiator, and yet getting the full benefit of it In today's sketch the artist has illus trated the idea Above the radiator

DA1NTIEs FOR THE TEA TRAY.


 My readers are constantly asking me to send them personally recipes for dainties suitable to serve on the tea wagon, and l believe there may be other women who have not writ ten for such help yet who would like to Save recipes of this sort. I am therefore printing the following:
 Marshmaliow Delights: Spread un- sweetened walters lightly with jam (strawberry is perhaps the best kind) and place as narshmallow in the cen tre of each piece, then sprinkle with either chopped nuts or shredded CO., coanut- Slip these waters into a hot oven, on pan, and leave just melt so that it spreads over the en- tire era cker.
 Cinnamon Crackers: Mix together 3 parts of granulated sugar and 1 part of ground cinnamon Sprinkle this mixture thickly on unSweetened sa1tines. Slip these fin a hot oven, on a. can, and toast until the sugtr melts.
 Marguerites: Beat the white of one egg to a stiff froth and stir into it 3-4 of a cup of confectioners' sugar and 1-2 cup of chopped nut meats. Spread this on crackers, place them on a pan and toast in a. hot oven un- til brown. (This recipe will spread
 Egg-Watercress Sandwiches Cover thin, crustless, buttered slices of white bread with picked watercress and some chopped chives- Add a rather thick layer Of the yolks of hard-boi1ed eggs which have been rubbed through a sieve. Place an other piece of the buttered bread on top (aIso covered with the cress leaves) and press together. Now cut the sandwiches into smaller shapes
 Cracker DaintieS: Take the thick ''Boston" crackers which can be split easily, split, and soak these halves in cold water for ten minutes Then place them, wet, on a pan with a large lump of butter on each and bake for 20 minutes. Serve hot with a spoonful of jam or jelly be- tvE en each two halves.
 Egg Kisses: Beat the whites of eggs stiff, then add gradually 1-3 cup of granuIated sugar, beating it in. Now stir in 1-4 teaspoon vanilla and drop this mixture by spoOnsful on buttered paper which has been spread over an inverted dripping pan. Rake in a very slow oven for 9 little over an hour. When the Kisses are puffed up and well crusted over (they must be hard enough on top to re- sist a light pressure with the finger) take them out to cool. If they are hard to remove from the paper with out breaking, hold the paper over

 defaaigabie and long ago determined | that she was going to arrive some l day with bcoh feet,'' as the saying goes. That she has kept that prom

 sortl of emotional part in moving pie lures.
 All hostile criticism to the contrary notwithstanding, there is little QueS- ton that the motion picture camera
 as an aid to success upon the legiti- mate stage is . vital force in the life of the m odeIn actor. It has put pep into the almost dead art of mimicry, and, with the discovery their de

 What the Movies Teaches.
 Of course there are folk who will
 always argue that the movies have played hob with the actors art, but
 this is a shopworn dictum. In the
 movies the actress learns to co-ordi-
 nate those tremendous trif1es'' of the ceIlent through a realization of the
 futiIity of words. substituting fog
 empty mouthings tfre speaking pauses that are more effective than action
 There is no question that the movies have helped me tremerd ously in the spoken drama" said Miss Brady, in discussing her new play, Drifting" Work before the camera shows an actress what not to do as we'll as what to do. It is a training in pantominle that will always be one of a. players most valuable assets if he or she takes acting seriously
 How do I explain what success I have had as a legitimate actress in the spoken drama" said Miss Brady thoughtful1y. We'll, I-,'' she laugh ed merrify. Frankly, there is no mystery about it. The movies gave me an opportunity to develop all of the pantomime possibilities in my body. In studying so many differ ent sorts of roles, I learned ito throw overheard many things that the screen Ehowed me were uneSSential After all, you don't have to tear passion to shreds' in order to get over big emo tional moments. People in real life, particularly during the war, did not throw a fit when the big test came. Nor is it necessary in the drama You can convey suffering and poig- nant emotion by your facial eXpres- sion without having a stage ft-
 'So you see, it is very simple. By seeing myself on the screen, as oth-' CTS saw me, I learned many things and am still learning and I try to carry the knowledge of these things into my work on the legitimate stage"

She has a puckered forehead, a peering expression, and probably rounded shoulders. There are indi- cations that she has had recourse to an optician during the last few months. As her glasses are of remark able strength, and as opticians are not very numerous, there should be no difficulty in tracing her.

III Ai1urophobia is the fear of cats. There are plenty of people who have that fear; those who have cat asthma; who have fear on seeing cats with out excessive emotion in consequences; who are perturbed when a, cat is near, though unseen; who can smell a cat without seeing it
 Dr. Weir Mitchell, who has given an excellent description of ths phobia, describes eases. He has found that cat enanaltionS may effect the nervous system through the nasal membrane, although unrecognized as odors. The presence of cat gives many people a variety of symptoms - oppressed breathing, fear, terror. disgust, chill, gooseaesh, weakness, pa1lor. nausea, temporary blindness, possible hys- terical convulsions. One poor lady had a, fixed open jaw,'' with pathetic to relate) loss eff voice.
 Such are cat-1nareS. These symp- toms pass away with the removal of the cat, but may leave the sufferer nervous for the rest of the day.
 In at least one-fourth of pr. Mitcheu'S cases. such fear is a family peculiarity. Five in a family of seven had it. In another family the mater nal grandfather, two great-aunts, an uncle and a sister were all thus trou- bFsd.
 Extreme symptoms are more fre- ouent in women, though men suffer also. Dr. Mitchell relates the case of an uncle in his own family: My father, the late John K Mitchell, havns placed a small cat in closet with saucer of cream, asked MT. H. to come into the room and look at some books in which he would be interested. He sat down but in a few minutes became pale, shivered, and said: 'Trare is a cat in the room Dr. Mitchell said: Look about you There is no cat in the room. Do you

Clothes Don't Make an Actress But Lack of Them May
 Mar Her, Asserts Stage and Screen Star

Clothes don't make an actress, even | in the movies, but they are a mighty necessary adjunct to success on the screen, according to Alice Brady, the to the Park theatre, for two nights, commencing Monday, May g, in her new play, Drifting"
 Tt is absolutely useless" said Miss Brady, for a girl, no matter how good looking or how talented she may be. to try 10 get a job in filnland, even as a super, or an extra, unless she has good clothes and knows how to wear them.
 Strangely enough it is the extra people who have most often to have the most expensive clothes, and as they have to provide them for them selves, it is foo-<sh for any girl to leave a good position for the uncer- tainties Of filmland.
 Despite the rapid growth of screen years. and the ever~ncreasing corps years, and tn eever-increaSing corps of actors and actresses needed for this branch of amusement, the fact re- mains that flmland is a very hard place for the uninitiated to break into.
 Although I would advise any girl gin in the movies. where she will learn, if she be wise, a, great many valuable things which she cannot learn otherwise, I do not advise any girl to embark on career in the movies unless she has plenty of good clothes, as well as the invaluable llnack of wearing them properly.
 Can't Be 'EFour- -F9usher."
 Extra people are chiefly needed for big seasons, usually ballroom and so- ciety scenes, where the latest type of ball gown must be worn. Now, ball gowns are very expensive, and extra people are not highly paid. Any girl with common sense can draw her own conclusions. Clothes will never make an actress, but the lack of them may unmake her before she starts.'
 An actress cannot 'four-f1ush" on the screen, asserts this cinema star. She may be able to fool some of the people part of the time, and part of the people all the time, but she can't fool the lens of the camera at any time. That impartial critic shows her up just as she lis without any plea" In other words, the motion picture camera plays nu favorites and they who posture before its bright eye must, in the Broadway vernacular "have the goods"
 It was her long training in motion picture work that helped Miss Brady to firmly establish herself as an emo tiona1 actress of exceptional ability. Those who had watched the career of Miss Brady were amazed at the un- suspected ability of this young star when she appeared on Broadway in the spoken drama after her long ap- in the movies"

 Feigned Eruptions.

What is a. feigned eruption?

The eruption may be in as might be produced by friction or n71rtsard; or there may be bhsters, pustules, or even deep alterations, such as would be produced by certain corrosive substances The feigned eruption is usually limited in extent and is in surh parts of the body as would be easily accessible to the hands. In right-handed persons the eruption would be more likely to oc- cur on the left side of the body; and vice versa.
