"CRY-BABIES"

The old poem says that 'Women must weep" I wonder why! Some times, of course, it can't be helped. It's emotional safety valve. But I wonder why many women weep for no special reason at all, or per- haps only for the inadequate reason that they are in bad temper or can't have their own way.
 There is nothing in the world that makes a woman so old as weeping. It hurts the eyes, makes the nose red, drags down the mouth, spells the digestion, makes her look temporarily old and helps her look permanently so It's a bad habit, as bad as con tinual tempers over nothing.
 Fortunately the cry-baby' type of woman is passing Thackeray's s Amelia in Vanity Fair'' must have been a. popular type in her day. or the great writer would not have made her his heroine. But Amelia's con- tinual retirement to corners to weep her heart out must have been as hard
 on her complexion as on the tempers of her friends. Nowadays, at least, she would get little sympathy. Mod
 ern sympathy goes out to Becky
 Sharpe, who may have been an ad- ventures but who looked the situa- ton in the face and consid cred what could be done about it, while Amelia sat and wept.
 A good cry is an excellent thing now and then. as every woman knows, | but the less frequent the periods of | the fits of weeping the more effec- | tive. Violent tears the beautifully soothing at the end of a long nervous
 strain, but frequent weeping irritates 1 the nerves. Your own nervous or ganism will not take your weeping l seriously if you do too much of it. Mrs. H. J.:-Hair that continues to split after it has been trimmed, will l often stop this if the ends of the hair

are singed. A simple way to do this is to do the whole head in a number of loose braids and shake each of them until the stray ends are loosen ed A lighted taper run down over the ends will singe them.
 G. B. LA mild astringent such as a weak solution of benzoin or any of the toilette waters will help this oily condition. Mop the nose and the other parts of the face with either of these whenever needed. An oily nose usually comes from eating too much meat or other heating foods and a generous dieting for a time would end the trouble.

SYNOPSIS


 It had been a wild night for Buck Mccartney, and when he awakens next morning his head is splitting. As he gradually comes to, he dis covers a young woman whom, to his recollection, he had never seen be- fore calmly rocking near the window. His first impression is that he has the D. ITS. and she is a nurse. But she tells him she's his wife. And to prove it she shows him the mar riage license and certificate, made out for David Garrick Mccartney and Thelma O'Connor. One of the wit nesses is Howard Manning. He calls him up and his worst fears are con firmed. Buck then demands that Manning come to his apartment and bring along the other witness, Fred eric Stratford. who is unknown to Buck.
 Buck tries to figure out how it all happened, but he can't remember anything. All he knows is that he is in a terrible fix. His uncle Charley will disinherit him, and he can't mar ry Virginia Earle to whom he was engaged. He shows his wife a picture of his uncle. TheIma seems to recognize the original and begins to laugh. His friends come to his apartments and supply the details of liIO pISHiOuS h1SHt. lie tries to O1S- courage Thelma, but in vain. Then The1ma remembers a telegram that came for Buck that morning. It's from his uncle in answer to one he had sent after his marriage. Uncle Charley and Virginia will arrive at 10:2O.
 Uncle Charley arrives all set to scold and disinherit Buck when <The1ma appears on the scene, and Uncle immediately becomes as docfle as a lamb. Buck does not know what to make of it. But neither Thelma nor his uncle will give any light on the subject. About this time Jimmy Shannon of the News arrives
 Just as Thelna was beginning TO tell of her marriage Manning and Stratford burst into the room and stopped her. Then they locked the reporter in the room and went away By opening the transom Jimmy was able to hear some of the conversation going on outside, and figured that something was very much wrong. And he gazes out Buck spies him, and lets him out. Then the door bell rings and in rushes a man who claims Thelna is his wife and threatens to shoot Buck. Buck disarms him and ties him up.
 Then he decides, "Just at the pres ent moment we're suffering from con- sest1on-too many people in one room. Let's get this bug in Shannon's room,"

Think it worth while to let him shoot off his mouth some more?''
 Anything is worth while," sighed Buck wearily. Nothing could make matters worse than they are now.
 Shall I bring him in?''

a general opening OF the favors at mid
night, the time set for unmasking. All
this ceremony was regarded by the
guests as a delightful innovation, and
by Joseph Maillard as a delightful
