MANY SEATS VACANT
ELEVEN CONGRESSIONAL POSTS
 REMAINS TO BE FILLED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-One va cancy ill the senate and ten Ill the house remain to be filled before the convention of congress. In most cases the contests will have to be decld- ed on November 6, the general state election day.
 The senate seat vacant is that for merly occupied by the late William F. Dillingham;, republican, Vermont. For mer Representative Porter H. Dale, republican, and Park H. Pollard, first cousin of President Coolidge but democrat, are the contestants for this place.
 Tn the house there are four vacan- cies in the New York delegation and one each in the Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina and Vermont delegates. Should the democrats hold their ground in the coming contests, they would have a total of POS members in the house and republicans PA, with one farmer-labor one independent and one socialist. Thus. the republican plurality will be only 16, as compared with ITO in the last congress while it's majority over all parties would be only 13.
 Should the republican candidate be elected in Vermont, the republicans will have 51 members of the senate and the democrats 43, with two far mer-labor senators. The republicans plurality would be eight as compared with 21 in the last congress, while their majority over the other two par 1ies would be only six.

BY Maria Jeritza.

~ UMMER days are vacation
days and that means for
~ many of us, travel. And
summer travel presents a beauty
problem all it's own.
Let us suppose that you have
settled yourself in your Pullman,
that good-byes have been said
and the journey of twenty-four
hours or more has begun that is
to carry you to seashore, noun
tain or lake.
The wise traveller keeps serene
and cool mentally and physi-
cally. With a linen or muslin
cover protecting her travelling
wrap which hangs nearby and
her hat secure from harm in its
paper bag, her window closed to
shut out CRIME and smoke she
proceeds to relax physically and
mentally and allows herself to en-
joy the scenery rapidly flying by
just as she would enjoy the
scenes at a play. She has moth
ing to do but rest-and enjoy
her journey.
Her frock is comfortably cool.
Her shoes are smartly comfort
able. Her hair is secured firmly
with net and pins. Beside her
may lie magazine and a new
book. But she reads only now
and then.
She knows that the most try.
ing ordeal for her eyes Is reading
on the train so most Of the time
she rests either by closing her
eyes in an effortlss sort of day
dream or by looking at distant
perspectives.
Now and then when the train
stops a few minutes she walks
up and down on the platform.
This breaks the monotony Of the
journey and also yields exercise.
When regular mealtimes ar
rive, she does not neglect eating,
for while train trip does not in
volve much physical exertion. it
uses up nervous energy. There
fore. she orders food that Is nour-
ishing, yet lighter than her usual
diet.
Light salads with oil or mayon-
naise dressing, bran mullins, bot
tied milk or buttermilk. fruit.

YOUR BEAUTY
KEEPING THE COMPLEXION AT IT'S BEST

; iced tea. eggs. green vegetables,
and fish when it is undoubtedly
fresh, are preferable to steaks
and roasts and heavy pastry.
At night, provided the Journey
includes night on a sleeper, the
utmost order and simplicity are
essential to preserve comfort and
an appearance of well.groomed
attractiveness for the day to
come.
Many women use water for
bathing on a journey, only with
the addition Of a mild cleansing
and disinfecting agent such as
borax or peroxide. Borax is es.
pecially easy to carry in a small
carton. A softening glycertnc
soap is also advisable.
AS far as possible, cleanse your
skin with cold cream instead of
water, and choose a cream that is
not very greasy. Wipe this
cream carefully off after you have
cleaned your skin with it.
Here Is a recipe for a famous
old English cold cream which is
fine as a cleanser during a train
journey:
Cocoa butter, two ounces.
Lanolin, two ounces.
Glycerine, two ounces.
Rosewater, three ounces.
Elderflower water one and one
half ounces.
In the morning you will find it
far wiser to dip absorbent cotto,,
in the finest of eau de cologne
or pure massage alcohol and
cleanse your face and neck with
this reliable astringent, than to
take chances with cold water.
With the help Of all these pre-
cautions, you should arrive at
journeys end needing only a hot
bath to complete your comfort.
And you should look as fresh as
a June rose.

Philip was conscious Of grow
ing estrangement between himself
and his sister. Lucy. which dis
tressed him in no small degree.
He knew that Mary Rowland was
the cause, and the unfriendly
attitude Lucy elected to adopt to-
ward her annoyed him vastly. She
had assumed the same hostile
manner with Marjorie. although
not for the same reason. It had
been a little girls jealousy then,
but now 1t was frankly lack of
sympathy in her brothers admir-.
alton for Miss Rowland.

not be able to dress as well us
Donald did. Donald always was
well-groomed, and his clothes

If Donald could see Richard

The thought awoke unpleasant
ideas. She was sure that Donald
would consider the young man
extravagant. Yet he had not
made his recent purchases with
Donald's money. Moreover, it
was every mans duty to appear

even with his mother, he had
given little thought to the subject.
He could not recall ever talking
religion with Marjorie. Mrs. Jones
had been a frank unbeliever. She
never missed a chance to branl
as hypocrites any protested Christ
ians in whom she saw evidnces Of
inconsistency, and used vehement.
~ to declare she would never set
foot across the threshold Of q
church. Mary revived Philips
early religious thoughts and faith.
She and her mother were devout
Catholics and both were eager to
make a convert of him. Old Mrs.
Rowland would worry him by long
talks. in which she prodded him
with embarrassing questions re-
garding his religious beliefs, and
she held forth tireiessly in theolog-
zeal discourse which Philip vaguely
felt she had memorfzed from q
book. Mary's religious fervor, her
goodness and piety made a deep
impression upon him, and he had
