The Famous Prima Donna of the
Metropolitan Opera Company
and One of the Most Beautiful
Women of the Day.
"HERE are SO many types
of feminine loveliness. all
- equally attractive. that it
is impossible to lay down rules
of beauty except those simple
rules Of right thinking and SEN
sible living that we ALI well
know.
What is one mans meat is
another mans poison" the old
saying goes. And it is equally
true that the cream, soap or
beauty formula that refreshes
one woman and helps her beauty
to bloom may seem positively
detrimental to another.
1t is always interesting to
learn the secrets by means of
which famous beauties have per.
fected and retained their lowell
ness. Each of these women, it
is safe to assume, has carefully
worked out the regime of work
and play, baths and exercise
that she found most helpful in
her own case And her success
as a beauty gives her suggestions
of precious value to other women
who are working toward the
same goal. Before 1 tell you
what one famous beauty does to
keep her face unlined and her
complexion lovely, let me sug.
gest some general beauty laws.

Beyond these simple elemental

subjugate her, make her really
know what love was. She was
flirting with him, of course; she
was after him for his money. Yet
deep down inside him, Philip was
sure there was something more
than just material things that
made him attractive to her. He
had recognized in her eyes when
they had met gaze with gaze q
warmth that the most consummate
actress could not simulate. She
had trembled in his arms, and
when he had held her close to
him she had thrilled with an emo
ton that had been no more pre-
tense. There was real bond of
sympathy between them, mutual
interest that drew them together,
a chord in her that answered to a
chord in him. He knew he could
make her love him deeply, truly,
passionately, and the thought
made him draw a sharp, quick
breath that was almost pain.

Philip could not follow. AS
ohe continued to speak, the words
poured from her in a torrent.
He only grasped little OF what
she said. and was amazed at her
heat.
"why, what's all this non
sense? What are you talking
about?"
''I know better than you do
what I'm talking about" A sud-

wrench of his jaw. helping him

draughts. Nothing passed Mrs.
Grotenberg,s lips. and after a
time he observed she was not

she should eat with him: he re-
preached her for not being COM

cused her of refusing to share
the food because on the particIl-

He asserted 1t was mo fun to

slight flush mounted her dark
cheek. and after a vain attempt
to check his urgent protest, she
allowed him to persuade her.
Then they were merry again, and
presently were laughing in great
felicity.
A feeling Of bodily comfort ana

smacked his lips appreciatively:

that you're hurting me in every
attitude and information. But
let's not talk about me. Tell me
how you feel. Would you like
your dinner in bed or are you
well enough to come to the
table?"
"I'm all right If you don't nag

gruffly.

you I'll go see the cook about din

know you were coming.

This would have been a fine

the use of explaining that for
myself an egg and a bit of salad
would have done, but that I al

take care of several extra? The
melon ordered before the eggs,
which now became an entree with
asparagus tips, and the cold ham

would eat our dinner in peace no

Hardly were we established In
the living room, with Jim COM
fortably resting on the coucn,
when he said abruptly:

Jim's eyes darkened with sud-

quickly.
"Oh, so that's how you got in
touch with her! Of course. YOU
didn't come. Wives aren't so
easily alarmed over their hus-

She could not see his kind face
because of the dimness in her
eyes. Even after she had reach
ed her room her fingers ting1ed
from the pressure of his hand
clasp.
She locked her door and, sink
ing into a chair, burst into tears.
She did not understand just why
she was crying. She knew she
was happy in the love Of such
wonderful man as Richard Ran
kin. She almost wished that Don
aid had been angry with her.
Perhaps his grave warnings had
unnerved her. Why could ne not
let her be happy? A girl was not
engaged every day. And Rich
ard was so dear, so handsome, so
different from men of the world
even men like Donald Muir.
She was thankful that she had
won the love of poet and not
of terribly practical business
man.
And then her tears flowed
again.
She felt sorry for herself. She
was not enjoying her independ-
ence, her triumph over Donald
Muir's authority. He had not
tried to exercise that authority
this afternoon. It was just az
we'll, for the days were gone
when she would submit to it,
Perhaps he might try to guide
and direct her when he came to-
morrow night to talk over her
engagement. She would be firm
and show him that he could not
do that.
Her eyes were still heavy from
weeping when Richard entered
her drawing room that evening.
He kissed her tenderly, then
looked at her inquiringly.
What is the matter, darling?"
he asked. Aren't you well:'
Perfectly WE'LL" she declared.
"But-for some silly reason

Are you sure it is not because
you regret our engagement" he
asked anxiously.

DISPUTE OVER DATE

We have been furnished a lengthy
statement relative to the dispute between
manager Biles of the Rising Sun team,
and the manager of the Bel Air team, as
to date of playing the postponed game of
June 2, and also the letter of President
Jewell concerning the controversy and
setting June 10 as date game shall be
played.
Lack of time prevents putting the en-
entire statement in type.
Manager Biles is anxious that the game
be played at an earlier date, as June 13 is
the last possible day upon which it can
be played under the league rule, and
should it rain that afternoon the game
would have to be cancelled.
Bel Air is we'll aware of this fact and
apparently is making the most of it, as if
