Barbara. Lady Clara We're de We're and few such swells must have been right in her class Husbands sister, isn't she?"
 Yes" I said, feeling decided un- comfortable because Virginia had chosen this of all evenings to come to the roof. Then, thinking to gloss over what might be an uncomfort- Let's stop and speak to her" Carl agreed, and we ceased danc- ing and went over to Virginia's table. She was with Sheldon Blake, Sally and Dicky Royce, and Mrs. Warden Sally's old virago of mother. I hadn't seen any of Virginia's com panions in ages, and certainly would never have chosen to walk down on them under just these circumstances. It became clear to me that, far from making things easier for Jim, had complicated them. Now I had gone to the table he must go, too. Still I went through with it, presented Carl. made a few polite interchanges of conversation and then got back as best I could to our own table.
 Jim and Daisy had just returned, and were both sparkling and flushed from dancing.
 .Oh, Mrs. Harrisont" cried the girl. your husband is the wonderfuIlest dancer. I think his airp1ane must have fox-trotted, he is so rythmical."
  ance, but Carl said with great enjoy uae4x:
 Isn't our little Daisy the cute kid?"
 Daisy flashed an angry glance at him. Her eyes fairly spat flames.
 'tTwenty-one is a fair distance from the cradle you seem to have brought along, MT. Booth,' she said, shakily-
 Did you see the Royces and Vir- gnia and Sheldon?" I asked to create a diversion.
 And the Warden woman" replied Jim. You couldn't drag me to the table while that old cats there"
 Then he leaned forward, and wait ing until he caught Sheldon's eye he waved a jovial hand. But I knew that Mrs. Warden alone couldn't have kept Jim away from the table. The little incident frightened me. It made it painfully clear that the breach be- tween Jim and his sister wasn't a mere matter of an angry moment

When A Girl Marries A
By Ann Lisle

With all her faults of higb-spirited d pride, I have grown fond of Virginia. and the thought of a permanent breach between her and Jim terrifies me.
 This waltz" cried Carl Booth sud denly. Its mine. Come on, Barbara Anne" And almost before I was conscious of moving to get to my feet, he swept me out on the floor. When I looked back to our table-as I couldn't help doing-I saw Daisy sit ting back and playing with her fork. She seemed to be pouting. A minute or two later she and Jim g1ided by us.
 That was the last dance, for as soon as it was over the after-theatre show started and the entertainment lasted until closing time- I sat through it fleeing distrait and uncomfortable. This was an evening of annoying trifIes, but they were tremendous trifles, too-straws to show the way the wind blew.
 When we went to the dressing room for our wraps. there Were Eir- gania, Sally and Mrs Warden. She flashed round on us directly I had in troduced Daisy.
 Not one of the New Orleans Con dons?" she asked approvingly.
 "No-we're from Vermont original ly,'' said Daisy with her grain-o -of-dust quietness.
 Dropping her, Mrs. Warden turned to me, claws unsheathed, mouth purring:
 How nicely you and Jim keep from being bored. Let's see-it used to be Tom Mason and his cousin, the one I hear has just tilted her young man. Oh-I forgot-he's some kin of yours, isn't he? Well, even if he lost Evvy's fortune, I think he's lucky to escape your husbands cast-off sweetheart"
 While Mrs. Warden was speaking Virginia stared at me steadily with an air of understand, and then strangely enough some careless words Jim had spoken a few evenings be- fore flashed across her mind:
 ''We'n give these poor kids an evening of happiness in spite of her. One evening-and maybe a few more. There are ways of Circumventing even Virginia

Does every woman recognize the great necessity of properly airing the scalp? I often wonder about that when I see the way in which women keep their hats on to such an un- necessary degree. How often does the average woman shake out her hair and air the scalp? I don't believe she does it more than once a. day, when she takes her hair down at bed time.
 Of course the scalp is aired to extent every time the hair is brushed, a process that takes place anywhere from twice a day to half a dozen times, depending upon the dociity of the hair, But this casual sort of air ing is not enough
 We are getting into such good weather now that sun and wind treatments can be given the scalp without any danger of colds in the doors in the sun. let the hair hang, and part 1t so the sunshine can reach the scalp. Part it first one place then another. so the warmth can penetrate to the very roots of the hair. It will feel wonderfully inTigoratinE.
 Let Hfe sun get to the parts of the hair not usually exposed. That is, if you comb your hair back from the face. the outside part of the hair will normally have air and sun enough, inside it will be darker, oily, perhaps, and when the hair begins to turn gray, the inside part will be apt to
 
 and sun the hair, brush it in an unac- cuS.omed fashion.
 And even when you do not give it such an elaborate airing, shake the hair out morning and evening. run the fingers through it and give the scalp a quick massage.
 Helen Eff you send an address ed stamped envelope, I shall be pleas ed to mail you full directions on re- storing your hair. You can remove the dandruf temporarily by rubbing the yolk of an egg into the scalp, be- fore sham poofng the head. Allow it plenty of time to come dry, before washing it out of the hair.

How Do YOU Walk?
New York Hotel Man Can Tell Whether a Man Is Honest By Watch

New York City, May Slave you an honest walk? Honesty may beam forth from your countenance and the honest look in your eyes may be as Sooo as bank presidents endorse ment on your, check but someone may be refusing to extend your cred 1t and trust because he analyzes VOLT walk as dishonest
 Ihls sc1ence, which it's devotees have named ''Psychoa mbuling,'' has been hobby with Copeland Towns end, manager Of the Majestic hotel TOT more than score of years. He can read the salient points of a mans character by his carriage and the way ne walks. He has become so pro- hcient in it that after he sees a guest walk across the lobby of his hotel he gives his clerks and cashiers instruc- tions regarding the credit to be ex- tended.
 One man may sotourn at the Ma Jest1c, bringing a dozen or more trunks with him to learn that the amount of baggage he has with him is not an ''open sesame to having undue credit extended him. Anoth- CT, with only a dilapidated looking bag. may stop at the hotel to find a ready and practically unlimited cred it extended and his checks cashed without question. And the answer to why care is exercised in the first instance and seeming carelessness in the latter is what the walk of each reveals.
 Found Men Trustworthy
 Years ago I did as the average business man now does-sized my fellow man up by his countenance," said MT. Townsend. Many times I made mistakes. Other times luck was with me and I found men wor- thy of the trust reposed in them.
 "One day when a check. cashed for a. guest with an honest face. was re- turned by the bank marked No Funds,' I was studying the problem. Standing near the hotel desk were two prominent merchants. to whom put my problem. One of them told me not to base my judgments on faces but on the walks of men. I thought he was 'joshing' me but de- cided to see if I could make progress following his advice.
 His character differentiates one mans walk from another, I learn ed. Professions, callfngS and mental traits place their stamp on the walk. At first I supplemented my judEm ent of a mans walk by his couptenance. When there was a clash between the two made my final decision on what his walk told me
 Every Man Knows Himself.
 There Is only one person wh 10 really knows if a man is honest. That person is the man himself. The men, tai thought that he is a crook or that ]

When using this method one avoids begin ming to cut at Seither end of the hole. for the ends should be as little fray ed and out of shape as possible when worked.
 One method to begin a buttonhole is to insert the needle 1-2 in- or more away from the end of the cut and bring it out very close to the corner It might be well to put a knot at the end of the thread, which is after wards cut off, to prevent it drawing out.

INGROWING NAILS

Thick and very convex nails have a natural tendency to penetrate the flash. Flat small nails, covering large, f1eshy toes. when the tissues are not very resistent. are apt to be overgrown by the skin. Salt water baths are excellent for such tender tissues. So are permanganate of potash solutions, a grain or two of this substance being put in a basin of water-enough to make a claret col ored solution.
 The greatest care in the toilet Of the feet is necessary in cases showing q tendency to ingrowing nails. In f1amation should be carefully watched for and kept in check. The curative treatment depends on the degree of the inflammation. Long walks and standing on the feet should be avoid ed much as possible.
 The application of antiseptics such as bichloride of mercury in a 1-2000 solution) will reduce the inflammation and in many cases, prevent further trouble. Dressings repeated several times daily will also be helpful. A bit of dressing covered with vaseline may be gently forced under the nail. If such measures are not effective, radical treatment by operation is necessary.
