HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL
CULTIVATING THAT ELUSIVE CHARM
By Lucrezia Bori.

head well up. But when you
think OF 1t, your profile is about
as good. Personally, you feel
that you haven't quite enough
nose, but other people never seem
to notice the lack.
You decide, perhaps, that you'll
try walking more like So-and-So.
You've always known that YOUR
shoulders dropped a bit too much
for real attractiveness, but II
seemed so much trouble to hold
them well up. And so long as
her profile isn't any nearer the
Greek ideal than yours you can
carry yours in just as proud a
way.
Come to think of It. that ia
what So-and-So does. She makes
the best Of her attractions, and
acts as II she were as beautiful
as someone else who has a pretty
face but absolutely nothing in her
head.
That's the whole secret-So.
and-So acts in a subtle way, as
II she were beautiful! Now. YOU
have 1t. She always appears to
the best advantage, without no.
ticeably trying. and everyone
seems to get the impression that
she Is unusually pretty.
And. after all, you reflect, clear
skin that looks as II It has it's
full share OF sleep and fresh air
and water is charming. And
clean, glossy. well-groomed hair
helps set off snyone's features.
You decide to start todav.
You've always been careful about
your hands. They are pretty
enough. and your nails are in i'm.
maculate condition. Then, there's
that new resolution about car.
riage. That will require a good
deal of attention.
But you feel sure that you've
made a long stride in the direc.
tioR OF charm. for you're plan,
ming to make the best of the
good points that you have and
to act as IL you had all the
others!

1t was the voice Of Joan Tall:
bois clear apd sweet as a bell.
Yes" he said eagerly.
II have just read in the paper
about this dreadful attack on
you. 1t is the first I heard of
itr' said the voice rapidly.
-"Tell me. are you much hurtH"
There was a quiver of anxiety
in Joan's tone that was music to
Philips ears.
mo, no! It's nothing at ALL"
he said quickly. I'm not hurt
a bit. Miss Joan, can you come
round here at once? have
wonderful news for you"
For me? will be there in
twenty minutes.
Mottisfont hung up the re.
ceiver and hurried back to his
perusal of the papers. He made
some rapid notes as he did so,
and before he had reached the
end his face grew grave. A look
of anxiety, even of CONSERVATION,
came into his eyes.
IT feared something like this"
he muttered. IT wonder how
much of it will come out? Use.
less to conceal the truth. II
doesn't effect the claim-but 1t
may be awkward for Joan. Poor
little girl"'
He had just finished the last
docket when there was a ring
at the bell and Joan herself
arrived. Mottisfont sprang up to
greet her.
"Ah" she exclaimed. as soon
as she saw the patch on his
forehead. you did not tell me
the truth. You are hurt-you
have been wounded
Wounded? Hardly even
scratched. 1t was the merest
trifle-a scuffle with some street
roughs. Do not let us talk of
it," he said almost impatiently.

time or two.
Come to think Of it, why do you
remember her so well? Why is
1t that you can recall her features
and her mannerisms as readily
as II she were one of your friends
whom you see almost every day?
And then you think on. Is she

SO, and you hardly remember ana.

think 1t out more carefully she

Then you try to remember what
Il is that makes her seem pretty.
She has clear eyes and skin, TO
be sure, and her hair is always well

You suppose that immediately

thing to do with it.
Then there's another thing, So

and the assault had not shaken
him in the least. But he refused
to accept the affair as a mere cas-
ual assault by street loafers.
There was some mystery at the
back Of It which baffled him.
As he sat at his table, Phillips
thoughts travelled back to the eve
ming he had spent with Joan, fol-
lowed SO closely by that sudden
attack. Could there be any con-
nection between that and the two
adventures who were trying to
exploit the girl? Mottisfont was
certainly an, obstacle in their way.
The ideas connected themselves
swiftly in Philips brain. And then
he laughed. The notion was too
absurd.
