THE RHYMING

BY Aline Michaelis-

wear silken shirts, he himself can
not make both ends meet. Though
with all the bacilli injecting our
race, the doc is on friendliest terms,
though his colleagues are ready to
give him first place for his knowl-
edge of microbes and germs, still
his friends must admit that he does
not succeed, and the way I have
figured 1t out is: he simply can't
tell what the most of folks need,
though he's posted on hookworm
and gout. But, IL were a doctor

BY LucreZia BOri,
Prima Donna Of the Metropolitan
Opera Company and Famous
for Her Beauty as Well
as Her Art.

TTOW often I hear women COM
plain that their face powder
- mars the beauty Of their
skins! They blame 1t all on the
powder, never seeming to doubt
that their complexious would be
ravishingly beautiful If only they
could find the right powder.
But there is much more than the
wrong powder at the root of COM
plexion troubles. No veneer Of
powder can make your skin beau
tiful unless the principles which
underlie real beauty are applied.
Powder, It is true, may hide
some blemishes, but 1t will never.
In itself, make your skin lovely.
1t doesn't pretend to do so. It's
mission rs to protect your skin
and improve it's appearance, but
beyond this II Is powerless.
IL you want a lasting good COM
plexion, why not begin at the first
principle? This would be easy, for
every woman knows that health,
promoted by exercise and proper
care, is the principal that underlies
beauty.
No woman's skin can show that
rose.like loveliness unless she has
q healthy constitution. And the
best way to make your constitu-
ton healthy and to improve your
complexion and figure at the same
time is to spend n few minutes
each morning In some kind of
physical exercise.
Surely, that doesn't sound like
much of task. at least when com.
pared with the reward II offers.
Even five minutes a morning
offers much In the way of return,
and am going to give you a sim.
pie exercise upon which you need
spend no more than few mo.
ments Of your time.
Stand before an open window
and take several good. deep breaths.
Start your morning this way and
make II point to repeat the ex.
ercise several times during the day.
You will surely find IL no trouble
TO breathe deeply when YOU are
walking along the street. when YOU
are busy about the house or seated
st your desk.
Now. the exercise is this.
With your chest out, chin In and
position erect, bend your arms so
that you can place closed fist on
either shoulder. Have your ei.
bows on a straight line with your
shoulders. This means that your
arms. from shoulders TO elbows.
will be directly horizontal with the
floor.

Mary did not see what was to

have taken the adventurous ten

brain OF chivalry itself.
Brandon cared only to fight

success.

What a pity this sense

SO every phase Of the question
which his good sense presented

as ardent though not so impatient
as Mary's. that 1t would be worse
than foolhardy to try to see her.
He, however, had determined to
see her once more before he left.
but as 1t could, In all probability,
be only once, he was reserving
the meeting until the last. and
best and only chance.
This brought to Mary a singing
realization OF the fact that Bran
don was about to leave her and
that she would lose him IL some
thing were not done quickly. Now
for Mary, after a life Of gratified
whims, to lose the very thing she
wanted most Of all-that for
which she would willingly have
given up every other desire her
heart had ever coined-was
thought hardly to be endured.
She felt that the world would
surely collapse. 1t could not.

overwhelming agony, as Is some
times the case with those who are

Love and power are the two

Consolation is not the thing
needed In a case like this. In.
spiration Is all that can do any
good.
For unless you are inspired by
a great and constructive desire
for the one thing you crave. you
will Just sit and yearn for It
without doing one thing to earn It.
Love. like all life's valuable
prizes, must be earned. There is
no getting away from this fact.
There is no way to win love save
by earning It. Now, earning love
doesn't mean currying favor. 1t
means being lovable.
There are folks who fairly radi.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

ciprocate my feeling, but most

fashion?

my place Of employment. She
became very interested d In me and
as much as asked me not to see
anyone but her.

WYE had two or three OF
" our little meetings of
w four. dangerous as they
were, at which Mary, feeling
that each time she saw Brandon
might be the last. would sit and
look at him with glowing eyes
that in turn softened and burned
as he spoke.
She did not talk much. but de-
voted all her time and energies to
looking with her whole soul.
Never before or since was there a
girl so much In love. A young
girl thoroughly in love is the most
beautiful object on earth-beau-
tiful even in ugliness. Imagine,
then. what 1t made of Mary!
Out of Her Reach
Growing partly, perhaps, out Of
his unattainability-for he was as
far out of her reach as she out Of
his-she had long since begun to
worship him. She had learned to
know him so well. and his valiant
defense Of her in Billingsgate, to-
gether with his noble self-sacrifice
In refusing to compromise her in
order to save himself, had pre-
scented him to her in so noble n
light that she had come to look up
to him as her superior. Her sur
render had been complete, and she
found in 1t a Joy far exceeding
that Of any victory or triumph she
could imagine.
1 could not for the life
Of me tell what would be
the outcome of it all. Mary was
one woman in ten thousand, so
full was she of feminine force and
villa force which we men pre-.
tend to despise, but to which in
the end we always succumb.
Like most women, the princess

Mary! How a grand soul like
hers, full OF faults and weakness,

capacity for one and the mini

thetic to see them. especially the
girl, who had not Brandon's hope

TO care for that. and as his anger
did nothing toward unsealing her
lips. he pretended indifference.
Still the same stubborn silence
was maintained. This soon began
TO amuse the King. and OF late he
had been trying TO be on friendly
terms again with his sister through

bear-like pleasantries which were
the most dismal failures-that is,

Trouble Brewing
Thus our meetings were broken
up and Brandon knew his dream
was over and that any effort to
see the princess would probably re-
suit in disaster for them both-for
him certainly.
The King upon that same day
told Mary OF the intercepted letter
sent by her to Brandon at New
gate, and accused her of what the
was pleased to term an improper
feeling for a low-born fellow.
Mary at once sent a full account
Of the communication In a letter to
Brandon, who read It with no small
degree Of Ill comfort as the har-
binger of trouble.
