searchlight to the left disclosing Alice
hanging to a log some twenty feet
from the boat. Again Dorothy swung
the steering wheel The boat stag
gered a bit from the impact of logs
and debris, then chugged up to Alice's
side.
But what was Alice doing?
As Dorothy watched in utter amaze
ment she saw Alice, with an evil look
on her face, pushing the log she was
peller. In an instant it would mesh
with the machine. The rear end of
the boat would be pounded out,
Dorothy always had been suspicious
of Alice. Now she saw in an instant
what was in Alice's mind Alicia
the boat. She knew Dorothy couldn't
swim in a current like this. In this
way she might eliminate Dorothy and
be sure of Howard for herself!
Dorothy gasped. For a moment
terror held her so firmly in its grip
that she could do nothing.
Nearer and nearer Alice pushed the
log toward the propeller. In a mo-
ment the girls diabolical endeavor
would be accomplished.
On the instant, tho, Dorothy came
to life with a rush. She fairly 1eaped
from the steering wheel toward the
engine. In a mad frenzy of excite
ment she dashed at the electric switch.
Even as she shut off the engine there
was a series of crashing thuds. at the
rear of the boat. These sounds then
stopped abruptly. She had been in
time.
Leaning ,ver the side of the boat,
Dorothy found Alice swimming weak
ly there. Minus the aid of the log, it
was evidently a strain for her to Keep
af1oat.
For one mad moment Dorothy
thought of pushing Alice off into the
river to fight alone, and perhaps lose
out. Then in a rush her better nature
triumphed. She leaned over and
helped Alice into the. boat. The latter
came submissive enough.
Dorothy started the engine again.
To her joy the boat showed 1eeway,
tho ominous jolts and knicks came
from the rear.
She started the searchlight again,
beating up and down the river looking
for Howard.
There he was, hanging to a log
| nearby, blood streaking his face from
wound on his forehead.
Together the two girls helped him
into the boat.
Howard sank YEARLY into the bot
tom of the boat. He gazed up at Dor
othy with eyes in which a great love
was glowing.
Il saw it ALL" said Howard weakly.
"Y ou're wonderful, Dorothy"
He sank exhausted to the floor
A great joy welled up in Dorothy's
heart She looked rather pityingly at
Alice, covering pathetically in the far
corner of the boat.
Never again would Dorothy have to
worry about this other woman
And with her heart overlooking
with thankfulness Dorothy stopped
and pressed a kiss on Howard's lips.

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs Thompson: Some boys
at school formed a club last Septem
Der and they have met every other
Saturday night since. In two weeks
they intend to have a banquet and
they asked one of the girls to get five
others to wait on table. She asked
me to do it and I told her I would.
thinking it would be a lot of fun.
Then when 1 told my mother about
it she said 1 could not do it. I want
to very much and 1 have already
promised. What can I do to make
mother see that it is all right?
ELEANOR
Your mother does not want you to
enter into social life as a waitress.
She thinks that you better wait until
the boys invite you as their guest.
Altho service to others is a splendid
out for your future interests. I quite
agree with your mother and would
not advise you to go.

Dinner Stories

John Charley Chepson was a new
member of the American Press HUI
morist5' association, and at the con-
vention in Philadelphia his loud laugh
was heard above everything when
some speaker pulled a gag that Chep-
son liked. After two days of public
luncheons and dinners at which this
boisterous laugh had attracted almost
as much attention as the comic
speeches themselves, the veterans de-
cided to spring q practical joke on
the unsophisticated Chepson. They
passed the word that Chepson was to
be called on suddenly for speech,
and at his first attempt to be funny
the plotters were to laugh in a con-
certed roar that would break up the
meeting.
Chepson arose and said: For two

The man who announced that he
would be willing to have people lend
him money. but they must understand
that, if they did lend to him. he would
charge them for the privilege, would
be laughed at. Yet, says the Hartford

OF states and of the country in impos-

borrow the money and then charge
the lender for the privilege Of lending

Ell DOROTHY nix
world's highest Paid Woman vFitsv.

The Ethics of the Powder Puff.
Nobody will deny that there is no
beauty like natural beauty; nothing
so charming and alluring as a slim.
young, graceful girl. Unfortunately.
very few Lillian Russens are born into
the world, and also md alack. age
and fat come upon us all, but surely
there is no merit in Haunting these
in the face of the public, and adding
still further to the general gloom
Rather should it be accounted unto US
for righteousness if we disguise our
blemishes as far as possible, and make
ourselves as decorative as circum-
stances permit.
No one will contend that he or she
finds any spiritual uplift in gain;
upon a frowsy woman with a saleratus
biscuit complexion. a wisp of hair
screwed into a knot the size of wal
nut. a feather bed figure. and wearing
clothes that look as if her worst enemy
had selected. them and wished them
on her. On the contrary. contemplate
ing such an object one is filled with
pessimistic wonder as to why the
creator didn't call it a day. and knock
off before he made human beings at
all.
But take that same woman and en-
dow her with a lovely handmade com
pleXion. put a permanent wave in her
hair, give her corsc,makor and Il
dressmaxer who know their busine ss.
and you turn her into an object t7at
you can view with Toy while you muse
upon how much OF sweetness and light
women add to I. world.
Which is the moro moral of these
two women, the one who lay down on
the job. and permitted herself to be
an eyesore to the public. or the one
who circumvented nature. anu over
came her handicap. and thus became
source of pleasure TO her fellow
creatures?
AS a matter of fact. the question OF
whether it is moral to use cosmetics a.
not depends upon the result. Also il is
a question of age.
! 1t is a sin for very young girls TO
paint their checks because Il is mar
tistic. They are throwing away tie
most wonderful and beautiful thing III
the world which is the beauty OF youth.
Nothing else is so lovely as the soft.
velvety skin of a girl in her tecus, era
she commits a crime against all beauty
when she covers this up with calso-
mine and rouge.
1t is a sin for old women to use
cosmetics because these things en-
phasizes their age and decay. and call
attention to the beauty they have lost.
They look like Jezebels. and are rob
bed of the dignity and charm that be-
longs to their. time of life. An OLD
woman with her face smearad with
rouge looks as the Parthenon would
with a coat of red paint on it.
But between youth and age. there
is a lapse of time wherein the beauty
parlor, and all it's aids, and arts ard
articles, may get in their perfect
work, and where blessed is she who
makes a fresh rose bloom on the check
where none blooms naturally.
. Let US thank God for all his mercics.
