Well.to-do parents everywhere
recognize the significance Of hum
BILE surroundings, self-denial, indus
trial discipline, thrift, and moral
guardianship for their young, but
many of them are powerless TO put
such a desirable program of train

deep concern about the matter.
1t is my belief that some radical
and heroic measures must be re-

There were no words for it. Yet
she felt that to hesitate and make
excuses would be underbred. Al

She glanced at Mottisfont; he was
looking curiously happy. too: the
frankest respect and admiration
were in his eyes. Lady Eileen

HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL
HOW TO ATTAIN A FULL ROUNDED THROAT.

First of all, procure a feather.
The small, white kind that you can
extract from any pillow is best.
Throw your head back, hold the
feather in front of your mouth and
blow 1t up into the air.
Now, the whole exercise is to
keep the feather in the air, far
enough above your head so that
you have to keep your head thrown
back while you are blowing 1t up
ward.
Carry on this exercise for about
ten minutes in the morning, and
ten minutes again at night.
Some women practice ii with an
imaginary feather. I advise using
a real feather-because the Joy Of
real pursuit Is half the incentive.
You may often be unable to pre-
vent the feather from getting
away and drifting to the ground,
but this only makes the game
more exciting.
In time you should see the hol-
low at the base of your throat fill
ing out until II no longer is an un.
attractive cavity. The lesser hol-
lows around II, too, will gain in
plumpness in a way that will make
for throat Of lovely contour.
This exercise will also strength
en- your neck and make its mus
cles firm and less prone to sag.
There Is a certain line which 10

these statements are not based

AS a matter Of fact, the known

little danger Of any one whose diet

Lady Eileen Kinloch left the

what to do, stood where she was

tea in a Sevres cup that was
handed to her. Then the deft fin

themselves about her unresisting
figure.
Joan felt as though she had

A Member Of the Metropolitan
Opera Company, and Admired

What can l do to round out my
throat and gain the lovely curves
that are so much admired?
Many women ask me this qucs-
ton. A throat with a beautiful
contour is a Joy to look upon, and
Is always enVied and admired by
less fortunate persons who do not
own such an asset.
And, strange to say. many
women who are angular In build
possess a throat which is well
rounded and devoid of hollows.
while other women who have
every claim to a smooth Throat
have unattractive necks which
they long to fill out.
The neck nowadays is just as
conspicuous in the daytime as it is
at night, for fashion dictates the
more or less straight-across neck
line for both daytime and evening
frocks.
AS this fashion does not seem
inclined to change, the only solu-
tion to the problem is to build up
your neck to suit the mode of the
day. And, anyway, there's great
satisfaction in having a neck love-
ly enough to stand the closest scru-
tiny.
Here is an exercise which is
more like play than work, and II
you enter into 1t on this basis you
will find it amusing as we'll as in
vigorating.

did not reach the ears of Joan.
And Joan herself was taken by

Joan found herself pushed into
a small but luxurious bath room.

closed behind her.
She stood for some moments drip
ping river water onto the snowy
floor gratings. 1t was as though she
had dived through the amber
depths of the Thames and emerged
into another world. The most
amazing thing of all was that
Philip Mottisfont was her rescuer

her among these marvels. Joan's
wet cheeks colored family and her
pulse beat quicker. Gone was the

A little struggling village of less

The country school ranking high

have phsical training, industrial

The most effective play direction
and social center work being done
for the young-as observed during
a recent 5,000-mile trip among the

Thus the evidence might be ac-

that the most valuable training Of

DODGE TRAP OF

Chieago.-Attorneys for the rail-
road shop men have proved that At
torney General Daugherty Is eligible
10 the Ananias club, founded By a
former president.
The attorney general made solemn
| pledge-in the public press-that he
would assist the shop men in their
appeal of the Wilkerson injunction.
When the appeal was started, the at
torney general refused 10 aid unless
| the shop men agreed TO accept as

/ he presented TO Judge Wilkerson in
support Of his conspiracy charges.
A deposition is a sworn statement,

afidaYits were largely made by fed
eral deputy marshals and detectives,
and are based wholly on hearsay evil
dence, which would be given no con-
sideration in deposition proceedings.
The purpose Of the attorney general
was to get his wobbly affidavits out
of the way by having the other side
accept them as facts.
If the shop mems attorneys agreed
to treat the affidavits as dispositions,

and thereby sustain everything the at
torney general has claimed.
The Daugherty proposal was an i'm
pudent one, and was impelled by the
desperate hope that the shop mems
attorneys would accept anything to
get the case into higher court.

the shop men appeared before the
federal court of appeals there would
be nothing for that court to consider
except the question whether it was
violation of the Clayton law if the
administrative branch of the govern
ment secures an injunction against
large body of strikers who have ac-
knowledged that they have entered
into a conspiracy, as shown by the
attorney generals affidayits, and
which the strikers accept as state

The shop mems attorneys were not
asleep and the Daugherty trap failed.
Before the public, however, this petit
Jogging method of the attorney gen
eral is unknown and his publicity
agents insist that he is willing to go
hand in hand with the shop men in a
friendly contest over the legality of
the Wilkerson injunction.
The shop mems attorneys have
asked Judge Wilkerson to order the
attorney general to file bill of par
ticularss on his conspiracy claims.
Hundreds of affidavits allege various
crimes and the shop men want specific
charges rather than congratulations.
To date Judge Wilkerson has refused.
1t is whispered that both the in
junction judge and the attorney gen.
eral would be willing to have the in
junction get LOST in the near future
if the precedent can be established
that an administration can secure an
injunction on the hearsay evidence of
detectives and stool pigeons.
No court of law would tolerate this
procedure but it is permissible under
government by injunction.
