YOUR BEAUTY


In case you have no sleeping
porch, you may be able to Inn
provise one on the roof Of your
home with the aid of a tent or
a little carpenter work.
But even though you cannot
manage sleeping outdoors, you can
still use your porch, however
tiny it may be, as living-room.
Screens for this porch will be a
wise investment, for they will
eliminate flies and mosquitoes. Is
your porch lighted? Then make
it habit always to read and cha,
and sew there in mild weather.
You will be delighted with the
wide-awake, glowing look of health
that will add immeasurably to
your looks as the result of these
hours and hours in the open air.
Let us suppose, however, that
there is not even the tiniest porch
or a friendly roof at your disposal.
Still you may If you wish, spend
much Of your time in the open.
Why not patronize out-of-door
restaurants and tea rooms? They
are to be found in every locality
nowadays-and what is more
charming than dining out-of-doors?
Possibly there is an out of doors
theater in your vicinity. Out-of-
door movies are fun, too, and a
delightfully."- cool way of finding
amusement. There are excellent
open-air band concerts in many
of the parks. Go often with your
friends and listen. Both the
magic of music and the magic Of
outdoors will add to your beauty.
How about your own bit of city

forming it into a flower garden.

A moment later she was alone.
She feared he had forgotten to

The next day Winifred Scott
received a handsome hand-painted

the card accompanying 1t was
written:

Even while she wrote her note
Of thanks for the gift, she found
herself wondering how he got
enough money to pay for such an
expensive article. Surely he
would not use any Of her loan
for such a purpose. She almost
hated herself for allowing the
doubt to enter her brain for even
an instant.

Donald echoed.
There was an awkward silence,
broken at last by Winifred.
What are you thinking?" she
demanded.
She felt vaguely uncomfortable
as to what was in his mind. She
hoped he did not suspect where
the money to meet his note had
come from.

with delight and saying her good
night In the happy assurance
that she had made a new friend.
Our drive to my apartment was
given over to a paean Of praise
Of Betty winston. But as we
entered the seclusion and privacy
of my home, Irna sounded a
deeper note:
''It's almost like an omen-my
meeting that wonderful woman

Oh, Mrs. Harrison, your Betty

her soft. yellow hair, with its
childish tendency to cling to my
fingers in little blown tendrils.
You're a dear, sweet girl. And

Irma buried her face in my lap
and sobbed gently for q moment.
Then she slid down to the floor
by my side. and, clasping her
hand in mine, she made her lit
