 "Oh, have you one?" cried Val, smiling at Jim from her long eyes and c>aering up at once. ''Id love to dance.''
 wen have one tomorrow-surest Jim.
 Lane Cosby chuckled.
 That's right, spoil her-every one does. How about a go at bridge now?"
 'Oh, lets!' Val c1apped her hands-looking like a pretty child rather than the sophisticated woman she generally appeared.
 .I don't play I confessed quickly, afraid that Jim would start apologiz- mg for me if I didn't explain my self.
 Oh, you don't want to do anything was intended to impress the men as childish petulance. You do want to be alone with Jim, and what wife wouldn't? Come, Cosby, we'll have to find other playmates- es-though we do know so few people. That reminds me, Anne, aren't you going to begin introducing me to your friends soon?"

 "Oh, those people. Business ac- quaintances. My dear, big, brown bear hasn't had time to meet the people his little Val wants to know. But of course"if you don't want to bother, Anne, I'll not say another word."
 He tone of loneliness, mingled with resigned sweetness, made me feel hope1essly in the wrong, very un- gracious creature, and I cast about in my mind for a way to make it up to Val.
 We're going down to spend the weekend with dear friends-Betty and Terry Winston.'' I cried with de-

or suit When the dance frock is in question, then it may be bouffant and longer and no one has anything to say against it.
 For the debutante. especially, is there an unusually wide range of modes from which she may make her choice. The dress in which she trips the light fantastic toe may be simple or just a bit sophisticated and = it must be admitted that if she is all lowed free reign in the matter it is apt to be the latter. Perhaps she achieves this nonchalance with a sug- gestion of the hoopskirt or through the aid of lace or satin, or it may be just by the clever placing of rose or bow or ribbon. And again, it is quite possible that an unusual com bination of color or two fabrics unit ing in an alliance unthought of by the average person will arrest the eye.
 On close observation and due re- fection, however, one thing Is sure and that is that whatever sameness there is in silhouette, the novelty of detail and the beauty of fabric and color surpass that of previous sea- sons.

YOUTH-GRAY HAIR

You'd be surprised to know how
 many young people have gray hair. And how disturbed they are over
 the fact, too. Every day or so, some fair damsel comes to me. a much troubled look in her eyes and pleads:
 "'Oh, madame, isn't there anything you can do to stop my hair turning? Just look atsau those white hairs and am only so-and-so (often the years are but few beyond twenty). Do you think if I hennaed it it would be becoming to me And it takes all the tact of which I am capable to persuade her to let the dye bottle alone. If only she realized how real ly attractive is the combination white hair and youth. Yet because this is a period when white locks and fact that she has a few of the form CT makes her miserable. She fears that people will think she is growing old. It may be that the stress and unrest of the last few years are re- sponsible, but whatever the cause pre- mature gray hair is the bane of the hair dressers' existence"
 It was a well known exponent of her art who was speaking and her words give one cause for reflection. For, of course, it is custom that de- termines the status of everything from the shade of hair to the way one shall wear it.
 In those days of yore when every lady was beauty and every gentle man cavalier, powder and patches were the order of the hour and prais- ed in sonnet and in verse was the reigning belle and she was sure to have a young face crowned with white
 hair. Indeed, so popular was the latter that no matter how soft and
 dark were milady's natural tresses they were tucked caefully away un- der white wig or sneared with pomade and sprinkled with powder until they glistened like snow
 Both methods had their advantages and their disadvantages for while the latter looked more natural, unless mi lady was most sedate, indeed she was

Listen, World!
By ELSIE ROBINSON.

I'm sick O hearing woman refer red to as "The Great Mystery or @fThe Sphnix." It's all bunk. She is neither mystery, nor enigma, but just plain Human Being-not a bit more complicated, sensitive, baffHng, or marvellous than man.
 Moreover, nine-tenths of the gall 1antrieS handed out to her as an Enigma are hypocrisy, poker bluff. It's time some one "called,' and I'm here to do it.
 It all began because Man wanted to keep Woman from interfering with his little schemes. So he told her

 'I think you have made it all re- markedly clear" said the doctor '.No doubt the day on which he was So perturbed was the day when he had seen of their release in the newspa pers."
 Quite so. His talk about a bur glary was the merest blind''
 But why could he not tell you this g
 Well. my dear sir, knowing the vindictive character of his old asso- eiates, he was trying to hide his own identity from everybody as long as he could. His secret was a shame full one, and he could not bring himl self to divulge it. However, wretch as he was, he was still living under the shield of British law, and I have no doubt, Inspector that you will see that, though that shield may fail to guard the sword of justice is still here to avenge."
 Such were the singular circum- stances in connection with the Resi- dent Patient and the Brook Street. Doctor. From that night nothing has been seen of the three murderers by the police, and it is surmised at the passengers of the ill-fated steam CT Norah Creina, which was lost come years ago with all hands upon the Portuguese coast some leagues to against the page broke down for want of evidence, and the Brook Street Mystery, as it was called, has never until now been fully dealt with in any public print.

apt to be showered with powder at her slightest movement. One old lady was heard to have remarked that when she was a girl she newer en- joyed the ball, for when she danced she needs must use the greatest will power to keep from coughing at the powdery mist that got into her throat every time she spoke and she knew perfectly well that her partner was quite as uncomfortable. And it does seem though with every one so plentifu1ly powdered the air must have been uncomfortab1y partic1ed.
 As for the wig-free from powder as it might have been, it was heavy and hot and clumsfly made. Yet in

spite of these difficulties, white hair was considered more beautiful, and so white hair was worn. How times have changedi Yet are the hair dresser's words at all prophetic? Can it be possible that if not from choice then at least from necessity the ''coif- fure blanche'' will return to favor? If ever it does then the lass with pre- maturely white hair will be in good luck. And in the meantime since hair dEessers, both past and present, agree that white hair is undeniabFy becoma ing to youth let youth accept it grace fully and thankfully. It makes her lot so much easier and, besides, who knows, it may set a fashion.

When white hair was the mode milady wore it high and dressed it most elaborately. Now the most stylish coiffure follows closely the out line of the head. To be sure, this is a method that proves trying to the elder matron ,but for the young wo- man, whose charm survives severity oL er9Ieiletl'. ns IS iiGsi 1;t c oa ing the place of the puffs over the ears. Once in a while the school girl dareS to coil the ends of her tresses in a prim little knot at the nape of her neck.

she was up on a pedestal and she mustn't shinney down and mingle with horrid, common clay As the pedestal was usually in a snug cor ner by the fire, with plenty of gilt trimmings, the ladies fell for it hard.
 It worked for a while, but at last like most like, it bit the hand that fed it. When the men finally wanted a Reg'1ar Pal to share the load, they found that most of the ladies were so fed on this ''you are differe1rTD stuff that they actually believed <. So they wish they hadn't now. They want women they won't have to pro pitiate and analyze and fatter-and wherever are they going to get 'em
 I tell you, this world won't be much of a home place till men and women tell the truth to each other and start being real rude.

TO CONTINUE NEXT WEEK

in the Myrtle Street Methodist church

McRae, Mr. and Mrs. W. {. Nor
vail, Mrs. Tom Hendrix and her
daughter Mrs. Alderman gave valu-
able assistance in the singing and mu-
sic.
The interest that is being displayed
is amazing, for after all it is the old,
old story; yet in handling it On. Piner
makes it new story, fitted to indi-
vidual needs.
The text last night was, THE Dis
ciples were first called Christians at
Antioch" What's in a name?" said
the preacher. There is much in a
name. In olden time names meant
some characteristic of the individual.
a boy went along the train calling out
Hot mince pies A passenger bought
one; biting into it he found that it
was not hot, and very doubtful if it
was mince. Hi! hi, there! shouted the
passenger, You said that these pies
we're hot mince ones. Oh said the
boy. that's only their name Chris
tian, you are called Christian, and
il is only your name. Your conduct
ought to be patterned after Christ.
People want their boys and girls to
associate with Christians, and Why?
Because they are like Christ Chris
tans pay what they owe They visit
