He tried another tack.

She tiptoed over to the door. listened

back was the fact that a streak of light
from the sitting room beyond streamed
over the threshold for the door was
not closed, but partly ajar.
On noiscless feet Nancy once more

but the child lay motionless, her head
buried in the bedclothes.

And then Trix screamed, a terrible

Heavy Eyebrows

No. 17-Heavy Eyebrows
Heavy eyebrows are primarily sign
Of ruggedness. both mentally and physi-
cally.
DO you know man or woman with
unusually heavy ones? You II find that
he or she is person inclined to stick
vigorously to his or her views. Such
people don't surrender their opinions or
principles easily and they're somewhat
harder than normal to convince on most
any subject.
In almost every case you'll find them
ordering their lives and their actions
decisively, often quickly. but rarely
upon mere impulse or intuition.
Don't look for too much of the moon
light rose bower type of romance in a
girl who has heavy eyebrows. But you
will, of course, if she has those mar
row. pencil line brows; look carefully
TO see if it is nature or art that has
given them to her. Left to themselves,
her brows might be heavy.
And If the man you're wondering
about has heavy brOwS, he's likely to
propose in some moro proSaic way than
dropping on his knees and comparing
your eyes to the stars above. That
doesn't say thnt he isn't romantic. but
only that if he Is romantic it's in u
practical, cOmmon-sense sort of way.
Again. heavy browcd people are not
so inclined to set unusual store by cx-
trcme niceties and retinrmcnts. nor are
they so fond of luxurious ease as mar
row browed people. For their sign il

To bead or not to bead Really
there should be no irresolution here
There is as much beading going on at
present in New York as there is on
any Choctaw reservation. Suits are
trimmed in this way. So are capes
and so are frocks.
On the late gcorgette and Canton
crepe frocks a wide, use is made Of
beads-usually round and often dull
In broad stripe effects, This presents
many opportunities for delicate or
dazzling contrast of color, and we find
black beads on a georgette frock OF
Turkey red, silver ones on another
georgctte of gray, and dull bronze on
still n third OF brown. And, by the
WAY, various shades of brown and of
hcnna are much to the fore in these
new crepe frocks.
Today we show a white crepe
trimmed with steel beads and with
bands of Persian embroidery. The
narrow sirdle is black.
