 sented With Order of Companion of the British Empire" for Work During World War.

Nice, Jan. 1o.-'-Companion of the British Empire' is the title which can now be assumed by Mrs Mary E. WelSh-Lee-

 In addition, Mrs. Welsh-Lee is known to thousands of Americans as the former secretary of the British Pilgrims Society. She has always been greatly to the forefront in all matters affecting the bonds between the two countries, and has given her time and her enegries to the work of cementing the friendship between the two nations.
 The presentation of the order was made by the Duke of Connaught. rep resenting the King. He expressed the gratitude of his nation to Mrs Welsh Lee for the work she had done ir bringing the two great Anglo -Saxor races in one accord.

Beauty Chats
By EDNA KENT FORBES
EASY MAGIC.


 There are so many little tricks to be learned in the way of fixing ones self up, that any woman can learn the easy magic of making herself attrac- tive even if it is impossible for her to be really beautiful
 One of the best things to do first is to examine yourself critically and inn partially and decide which are your bad points and which are your good ones, and what can be done to inn prove matters. I think that the two
 nosJt important things are-the way you do your hair and the manner in which you dress.
 The style in which your hair is dressed, changes not only the shape of the face but often it's entire ex preston. The model in the picture who has plastered her hair back does not look particularly pretty, and yet she is one of the prettiest of girls when she dresses her hair in a soft and fluffy manner.
 Therefore the first hit of advice is if you are not entirely satisfied new styles of hair dressing until you have hit upon something more be- coming. Then look over your clothes Often the whole difference between a becoming and an unbecoming dress is a matter of rearranging a girdle or a tunic. Your clothes must give you good lines.
 Perhaps next in importance is the question of colors. Certain colors will l make you pretty-certain shades will 1 make you more youthful and many | colors will bring out all your bad i points. You must experiment here
 also to find out what shades you can | best wear.
 I do not suppose I need mention | such things as the details of your ! costumes; the gloves. shoes, stockings | or veils, or any of the other little ac- | cessories which might make or mar l the appearance. All these little de-
 tails act like magic in changing ones l appearance.
 l E: M. D.-A girl who has protrud-
 ing ears can improve her appearance | by dressing her hair so as ito cover | the ears If they protrude very badly
 there is g. simple little operation which
 any doctor can perform to make the l ears lie flat. If they do not proturde e
 badly, bind them fiat around the head every night.

Miss America is as pleased as Punch In her new woollen stockings and who'd "a thought 1t possible for her ever to feel so thoroughly satisfied in anything but silks? Why? Two years ago the idea would never have even entered Jacks head to present Jill with a pair of ~oollen stockings! The idea was too prepos- terous to be entertained for the frac- ton of a second. Nothing but the finest silk for Milady in those daysi
 But now. how different This Christmas time found Jack flashing madly from one counter ito another picking out fuzzy woollen socks in heather coiers and tweed effects and Scotch piaids. And for whom else than Miss Jill herself? Times do change
 Perhaps this change has come about because of the skirts growing shorter and shorter, thus exposing more and more of Milady to the harsh winter winds. forcing her to put something warm over her neither ex- tremities- Spats were too short, and tremeies- Spats were too short, and were they to be made longer they would turn into leggings, which would be too much of a bother for any use-
 So along came the sporty ~oollen stockings, Now the city lass has something stylish and sensible at the same time-a feat that is almost i'm possible to accomplish in the realm of Pads and Fashions.
 It must have been the skating craze that started a short time ago that first hinted of the picturesque possi- biiities of the wooilen stocking-for the skating stocking is a delight to benefit in it's gay colorins and fas- chatting patterns in checks and stripes and Scottish plaids. And they arc not unlike the stockings that are now worn by the European peasants Riddles are wearing these wooiler stockings instead of leggings, just as 1 the oidfashioned kiddies used to do | with the exception that the moderr kiddio often rolls her stockings dowr from the knee-buL then, you know | like mother like daughter"

The atmosphere of the house didn't seem to get on his nerves to the extent of making him sneak away from it until he knew we were going to start an investigation. I'll let him sleep over it tonight, but in the morn ing I'll put him through the jumps. We'll Miller?"
 ened, and the plain-clotheS detective who had been sent to bring in Farley Drew, stood upon the threshold with failure written on his countenance.
 Hes not there, sir. When I asked at the desk for MT. Drew the clerk phoned up to his rooms and some one answered that he was out of town. Then I showed my shield and they sent me up with a bellboy. The val ct, Sims his name is, had packed dress clothes, a Norfolk hunting suit and tennis flannel in the bags which our bird took away with him, and he un derstood that Drew would not be back for a week.
 'Is that all you got?" the chief asked disgustedly.
 Mot quite, sir By luck I found the chauffeur outside at the taxi stand who had driven him to the station and had often driven him before, and he. said that he was in q devil of a hurry to catch his train this morning. It looked straight enough to me-
 "All right; thatll do.'' As the door closed once more the chief turned to OdeH. "It seems as though you had the right dope; Drew must have had word from that Chalmers lad and beaten it, and that adds more color to your theory. If he isn't mix ed up in this thing he would have stuck around and played the friend of the family and braved it out.'' Odeu rose.

He had started for the door when the telephone on the captains desk whirred and instinctiyely he waited. "Yes.-Who ?-Oh, it's you, is it, Porter? The sergeant? Yes, he's here"
 Oden sprang forward and seized | the receiver.

TWINS SUFFER ASYMPATHETIC
 AILMENT
tBy International News service.>

(By International News Service.l
 Maynard, Mass, Jan. 10.-Is ap- pendicitis catching like scarlet fever or the whooping cough, or is the case which is now perplexing the learned doctors in this community one of psy- chological or sympathetic appen- dicitis?
 That's what the doctors here want to know.
 When Robert Alln. aged II, was taken down with appendicitis and went to the hospital for an operation his twin brother, Richard imm ediate- ly began to get sick also. and few days later also went to the hospital to have his appendix removed.
 "The boys always were together in everything" said their father. From the day of their birth when one was ailing the other soon developed the same trouble. We were not a bit sur priSed when Richard followed Robert to the hospital with the same ill., ness"
 Doctor Mccarthy, who performed the operations on the twins, says it is the first time he ever heard of such a case, and the other doctors and nurses at the hospital are watching the pairs progress toward complete recovery. interested to see which of them will be the first to get we'll.

Happiness And Health

A woman cannot be truly charming or at her best unless she Is happy. After all, happiness mas not so much to do with ones environment and surroundings. It Is a state of mind which is capable Of overcoming ob- stacles which impeLe or hinder its advancement
 In order to make a success of being happy you must possess unlimited en- ergy and good health Enthusiasm. vitality, vivacity. are but the result of keeping in good physical condition They are produced by a sound body. a clean mind and a brave heart If you can learn to face life with smile on your lips and the knowledge that the world is not such a bad place after all, you have found the secret of happiness and know how to live through the comink years and get the most possible enjoyment out of them.
 And bear in mind, that you cannot possibly make some one else happy unless you are first happy your self.
 Happiness is more or less a habit Tt comes only with practice. There is always something in your lie to cheer you up; In nearly every in, back on to gladden. your soul.
 Nerves have no place in the exist ence of the woman who is truly hap py. She is too busy living her hfe to know that there are such things. She
 
 things and has, therefore. no time to humor herself and analyze her pet ty ills. That is the best way of being happy-to forget oneself and serve others Remember, too, that you cannot attain happiness by striv- ing for it, directly. Aim to give some one else pleasure or happiness and the first thinE you know-you are the happy one!
 Of course, ii is impossible for a woman whose constitution is run down and out of order to be really happy. If you feel tired and out of sorts. if you lack energy. take up physical training, by all means Physical training will be much better for you than pills or patent medicine. Fifteen minutes every night and morning. spent in calisthenics. will accomplish wonders for the average girl or wom- an. Don't overdo, however. Do just a little at first and increase your efforts each day
 You will be surprised to note how much effect this will have upon your sleeping at night and your work dur ing the day. Try it just for week With a good strong healthy body you lave the foundation for a happy anT successful life. Without it, you will

BEAUTY IS PAYING A HEAVY TOLL IN
 TAXES OF COUNTRY

Washington, Jan. 10.-Beauty paid a heavy toa1 in war tax to Uncle Sam last year. But beauty also was heavily robbed. The government also lost in the process. Loose tax laws were to blame. The treasury today estimated that the fair sex paid many millions oflollars. in addition to the purchase price, in stamp taxes which never reached the treasury
 War taxes on beauty preparations under peSent laws are collected by the dealer. Buyers of perfumes, toi- let waters, sweet scented soaps, rouge and other cosmetics thought the add ed charge imposed for taxes all went to help pay for the war. They were mistaken to the tunes of more than $25,000,0O0, treasury experts said. This they compute as the sum deal CTS failed to turn in, and loosely drawn tax laws make it virtually inn possible to trace the offenders.
 Secretary of the Treasury Houston recommends to congress that this be changed He urged that manufac- turerS of cosmetics, medical prepara- tions and other similar luxury" items be compelled, under revised tax laws, to pay the tax and affiX the stamps before shipment. This will stop the payment of the tax on the individual sale. The government will collect the tax from manufacturers, produc- CTS or importers.
 Secretary Houston said only $50,- 00o,0O0 in revenue taxes were col lected from this source last year. He estimates it should have netted the government probably double that sum. Revised laws to be drawn by congress, he said, should definitely fix the manufacturers liability and make evasion of the law impossible The public pays in the end all of this tax, but more rigid check on manu- lecturers will assure that such tax payments will reach the treasury.
