Suspicion


DAND began another picture, but he
~ found himself restless and i'll at
ease. 1t was difficult to stick to his
work, for although he and Judy had
patched up things he had feeling that
1t would be only q question Of time be-
fore there would be another quarrel.
Judy evidently did not intend to give
In and accept their mode Of living. There
was something In her nature that made
her feel that 1t was wrong to be beau
tiful and gay. Life to her was sober,
and as for happiness, contentment was
as near as she ever approached to such
feeling. There we're no heights and
lepths to Judy, she wanted to live on a
level plain lest she come In contact with
the rough edges of life.
Rand. in rummaging one day for O
clean shirt, had come across the silken
lingerie that they had bought in Chi
cago. Judy was out doing the market
ng, and he had time to lift the things
out into the light. Everything was
there just as 1t had come from the shop.
Judy had never worn any Of 1t, and
with little stab Of memory he rcmem.
,nce long ago. and the fact that that,
too, had never been used.
Rand's sensitive fingers touched the
soft silk and fingered on 1t. He loved
the feel Of it. He could not understan
why Judy preferred the starched white
things trimmed with home made lace.
POSSIBLE, should wear only beautiful
things, and Judy. II she let herself 60,
could be that.

Can You Tell?
How Much Of Us Bllnhes?
Bv e. J. and A. ". Bodme,

Like all other expressions of emo
tion. blushing is a matter Of inheri.
tance, and is caused by the brain at
fecting the capillaries or tiny veins
under the skin, and filling them with
a sudden or violent ao| os Siood. AS a
rule the blush covers only as much OF
the skin as Is visible to strangers. al
though cases have been known where
the blush extended over covered parts
Of the body.
The fact that the blush is almost
always limited to the face. neck and
ears is due to the fact that that portion
Of our body IL constantly exposed to the
light. air and sudden changes Of TEN. &.
perature, and the veins and arteries
have acquired the habit of dilating and
contracting readily and are unusually
developed in comparison with other
,,arts Of the body. Races Of people who
&c with little or no clothing are said II
blush over the entire portion Of the
body exposed. Blushing Is caused en-
tirely by emotions OF different sorts,
and is controlled by the action of the
brain on the How Of blood. Once the
cause OF the blush reaches the brain
II cannot be stopped. and any attempt
to restrain II increases It's effect.
Anything that will make your heart
send an extra supply Of blood into the
arteries and veins which supply your
face, neck and ears with blood will
mako you blush. Embarrassment will
do this and is the most frequent cause
Of blushing. So vii. anger generally,
although sometimes people get SO angry
that the blood 10 driven out Of their
faces. In this case the effect Of their
anger on the blood supply has caused
the heart to virtually stop beating.

This was intended for the severest

was meant to say.
But was It?
Indeed, did 1t not rather entitle the
woman who was the subject Of it to

Had her critics said 'she does moth

her a mere peacock.
Had It been "she neglected her child
to curl her own hair" that would be
egoism with its usual concomitant, sci
fishness.
But at no cost to any one else, to
be concerned about ones appearance
does that not indicate only a real she
woman. and is it not anything but de
rosntory?
For within bounds, vanity is a good
thing. It shows woman's apprecia. L.

to be, among other things. "a thing OF
beauty and joy forever'-which any
woman can be, provided the necessary y
