America. Mile. Guerin has a studio on
Montparnasse and does beautiful sketches
in dry point which sell very readily to
dealers who put hand wrought gold
frames around them and mark them with
almost forbidding prices. She poses now
and then, but for the most distinguished
artists only.
Mile. Felix does portraits Of young
women. Also she assists the most sue
cessful of the older portraitists, who so
often need an intelligent model to pose
for the ensemble" of their subjects-that
is, to pose in the dress being worn by the
subject and to adopt the posture the ar
tist desires at sittings when the portrait
list would rather work from model than
the subject herself. $50 few women
know how to pose for portrait without
being self-conscious in their poise," these
artists declare They know Mile. Felix is
discreet as well as graceful and blessed
with skill at wearing clothes.
It was these four who, in conspiracy
between them, first introduced the ways
and nonchalance of the fiapper TO the

Presently M. Boris rose and bade us good
night. He kissed our fingers delight
fully. AS he passed out the gate in the
wall he turned and lifted his hat and
waved it at us.
None Of us ever has spoken to him
since. Suzanne saw him once three
years ago, on the, Rue de la Paix BY
that time we had seen his pictures in the
magazines so much that we knew who
lad been our host that night-Boris,
Czar of the BuIgarians. Each one of us
felt a maternal interest in him. We felt
like sisters to his two sisters, and we got
to speaking of the old King, the one who
was sent away, as Papa Ferdinand
saw him once on the Rue de la Paix, too.

his son Boris.

H EHIND an extremely interesting
~ beauty contest now being watched
with considerable attention in
Paris, the contestants being what might
be called the ''flappers of France" is the
somewhat pathetic story of lonely and
gallant young King, whose specter per.
vades the "reminiscences of four Of the
principal participants In the contest
1t would be entirely too much to say
that the favor of the Knights approba-
tion-is the intangible prize in the COM
petition, but It Is not exaggerating to say
that 1t is because of him some pretty
young women are engaging in what
might be called battle of beautiful flap
perhood.
The King is Boris, the youthful mon
arch Of Bulgaria. His part in the con-
test was played almost four years ago,
when, occasionally. Boris--then in exile
iran into Paris incognito for a bit Of
the relaxation denied him in Vienna, Bel
grade and Budapest. where he spent most
Of his time.
Very young, very engaging-almost
bashful-cafe proprietors and major
demos took a keen personal interest In
him. He was not adventurous, and was
always most discreet-quite well behaved
and q great deal more solemn than
usually is a prince running at large In
ccgnito in Paris.
His favorite restaurant was a little,
somewhat modest cafe in the Montmartre
the same cafe., It is said. which has
been given additional fame by being made
the background of q play successful both
In Paris and in America. Here the young
King-a Prince then, or King refusing
to accept his throne spent an occasional
evening, glad Of conversation with any
OF the patrons who elected to occupy a
side of his table. His afternoons he spent
at the Botanical Gardens.
1t is one OF those bits of untold ro-
nance. hidden everywhere in the odd
corners OF Paris, as we'll as in other
places-that there should be a beauty
contest in progress to-day, between a
group OF young women. There is jewel
in the story Of course, but the King
owned the jewel. TITS no pearl or emer-

gem with history reaching back to the

ing him first his wine. Before the meal
itself was served a bevy of young girls
four Of them, such bits of feminine china
as during the day ornament the studios or
the art schools near by, chartered up to
the table. They displayed confusion at the
presence of the stranger and then Boris
noticed handbag. pair of gloves and
shawl or two that had been left in the
other chairs around the table. He real
lied he had occupied a table which these
young women had reserved for them
selves and which they had left perhaps
but moment or two before.
The Prince rose and made embarrassed
apologies. Reaching his hat and stick he
was about to bow himself away when his
waiter arrived with the first courses of
his dinner. The waiter was apologetic-
there was no other table, It was hurriedly
discovered. at which the Prince might eat
his dinner or II he remained at this
table. where the young women might sit.
All others were occupied.

With that the waiter deposited his

Boris was student Of plants. Most
plants are young. He amused himself,
perhaps, by initiating study OF the
young plants thus inadvertently thrust
under his attention. That is one way OF
putting It. Another would be: Boris was
a Prince, with an uncertain future. Most
unfrivolous for Prince, nevertheless he
enjoyed this unconventional meeting with
four young women who represented a
most unroyai world.

OCTOBER IN THE OZARKS

Along the old rail fence and in the
big trees down by the creek the
squirrels are beginning to display q
keen interest in their own affairs.
Shocks of fodder in the corn fields,
autumn leaves which are brown and
red and scarlet with countless shades
and tints such as no painter can re-
produce-all these and a thousand
subtle signs tell US that another year
has almost rounded out its fullness
and whether for good or bad, will soon
be but memory.
With every one of our foulfooted
creatures there is more or less prep
aration for the coming winter. The
cows store up fat-if feed is avail
2ble-the horses grow thicker coats of
hair, and all seem aware of the chang
ne season.
Reautiful as autumns are the world

TRY that Octobers indelibly inn
