Beauty Chats
WHEN YOU DINE OIL
BY Edna Kent Forbes

You want to look your best at all
times, Of course. but when you dine
out, you want to look particularly Well
One woman said that there was never
time like dinner time for inspecting
other women-it's so easy to sit and
look hard and criticize, while all the
other women are placed there at tables
for leisurely inspection never
thought about it that way before, but
think she may be right
In any case, when you dine out YOU
want to be extra careful about your
hair and your hands. If a suit has old
fashioned lines it won't show so much
because you are seated If your shoes
aren't as smartly new as you could
wish them to be, you have the comfort
ing knowledge that your feet are tuck.
ed out of sight under a table. But
from your head to your waist, you are
in the limelight."
Nowadays, of course, it isn't correct
to take off the coat of the suit except
at home-heaVen knows how these
conventions are made. but there they
are and We must conform to them. In

Mrs. Talbot had gained flesh, so the
angularness of her body was almost

around her waist and hips and she held
her head and shoulders better, because

they were plumper and well cared for

her face of a middleaged woman only

A STRANGE HOME
CHAPTER 76

Jordan sat down. in his usual chair
in the kitchen. He made no effort at
talking, he never asked how they were.
The chair was by a small side table
one that was covered with a red and
white check cloth and used to hold
darning and newspapers and other
odds and ends of daily life, while the
big table was the one they ate from
Mrs. Thomas ran about lighting
lamps in the bedrooms, tightening the
screens against mosquitoes. Luther car
ried up suitcases. He sensed the gen
eral tension in the air, so when his
mother came down stairs, dressed once

too.
"Everything's just as it used to be.

pulling out, without looking, the very
knife she wanted. Il declare. | don't

Amy's voice came from the doorway.
And please. mother, don't say I de-

Hostility was in Jordan's eye, but

And how are things?" Mrs. Talbot
asked, cheerfully trying to make talk.

This seemed to block further con-
versation on that line. The same cat
came and purred at her feet, the same

pipe-he looked once or twice at the
newspaper on the table, but decided to
make that much concession on the side
of courtesy. and did not read It.

Jordan opened his mouth, his deer
eyes full of sullen fire as he turned to
say something to Amy. Luther cut the
answer out completely by singing out
cheerfully, "All right" and carrying
the cloth to the little used dining room

corner.

16-YEAR-OLD NET WIZARD, HELEN

BY DAVIS J. WALSH

Forest Hills, Aug. 17.-There comes a time in every mans life when a hunch ceases to be a hunch and be- comes a convictions; whereat he plays the thing across the board and lets it go at that.
 This writer has nursed the sugges- ton of a hunch all through the na- tiona1 tennis championships now in progress, that a little child shall lead them. or words to that effect; and that Miss Helen Wills 16 year old Californian, is destined to furnish the sensation of the tournament.
 After seeing little Helen come from behind and storm her way to a smashing victory over Mrs. Marion Zfnderstein Jessup in the fourth round yesterday, the hunch is so close to a conviction that if the championship itself goes west to Frisco this writer will scarce be able to lift an incredu1ous eyebrow. He will consider himself vindicated. In- deed, it will be no effort at all for him to assure himself that he knew it was coming from the very first.
