Well. sed Ma, now that you
have had yure chuckle, sed Ma,
why doan't you tell Bobbie the
reel anser to his question? sed
Ma. Why did them old kings
ware Purpel?
We'll, sed Pa, it, was like this.
The kings of old had to ware sum
color that was different from the
color worn by the Rank & File,
sed Pa, beekaus that was the only
way you cud tell them from the
Rank & File.
Yes, sed Ma, that is simpel.
But I think purpel is a royal
color at that, sed Ma. I am
thinking, now that you speek so
much of purpel, sed Ma, am
linking Of having new purpel
gown & a purpel hat to match.
You are, are. you? sed Pa.
Yes, sed Ma. 1 are.
Well, Pa sed. 1 think that wud
be a good idee If purple is royal
color. am sure a Queen like
you shud ware it.
why, You old DARING, seq MA
do you RELY meen that?
Sure, l mean it, sed Pa.
You are a king among men,
sed Ma & you ought to ware
purpel. also, too, sed Ma.
I doan't know about purpel'
tho. Jake Blumehart's dad has
got purpel noase & he amt
no king. among men. he amt
even got his sal.oone no moar

YOUR BEAUTY
A SPLENDID SERIES OF PRACTICAL VALUE

not ordinarily walk on your toes,
but if you practice this occasion
ally when you are alone you will
find it easier to walk the cor
rect way before others. First the
balls of your feet, then your heels
should touch the ground.
The second exercise was used
by a. world famous beauty in her
childhood training for grace. Walk
along a narrow board, keeping
both heels and toes within the
board. The rail of trolley line
will admirably serve. this pur-
pose If you live in the country
and can walk along secluded
trolley line without danger.
This exercise is invaluable, for
it cures the ugly habit of toeing
out.
When you can easily walk along
a straight line, and at the same
time, without effort you touch
the ground first with your toes,
then with your heels, you will
have gone far toward achieving
lovely, graceful manner of walk
ing.

A Unique LoyelStory, the Film Version,

Palace Next Sunday.

That young lady was polite 70
the new arrival. With a quick
eye she perceived that his dress
was not what would be called
correcte but there was something
frank and nice about his express
sion.
The irtroducti0ns having been
completed King placed his hand
on Adams shoulder and said:
IRON today on this family Is
going to have a new father
here he is and he slapped Arom
on the hack.
"But the farm said Eva.
"The farm doesn't go right
away
But your health" cried Julie.
Don't you worry about my
health, young woman" replied
her father. IT know all about
your little plan to ship me Off.
The eyes Of the, younger people
were turned on Horace. and, in
spite of his efforts to show I'M
concern, he revealed himself as
the guilty eavesdropper.
Only Eva thought she saw In
her fathers strange arrangement
some hope for the future. ]

'.you do need trip. father.
Adam smiled at her. Yes, he
does. Miss King; and. after all,
while he's away you may need
some one to lean on.
King burst out laughing. Lean
on? They won't lean on volt
they1l sit on you"
He raised q hand for attention.
NOV. then. I'm sailing tomorrow.
I have written a letter ito every.
store in New York where I have
an account canceling It. am
going to give you each. an allow
apce, and after you have spent
that You will have to sandbag your
new father for more"
This decision might have been
received in. the light Of Joke at
any other time, but now there was
no reason to doubt its seriousness.
Adam looked as uncomfortable as
he felt; even Julie took pity on
him and remarked that he couldn't
be any more i'll at ease than they
were.

him between the shoulders.
Hello. old top, what's the mat
teR?'
Natter" protested King don't
do that; don't you know I'm

With this announcement Hor-
ace threw back his large head and
gave vent to a laugh so hearty
that his brother gazed at him in
astpnishment.
You've often laughed at me,
james. you know-when I've told
you how 1 feIt-it's different
now. isn't it? Have you made

II suppose that's human nature,
said he, white nature anyway

A thought. nebhlous but incis-

James King-he, stared at Smith
as though he had scarcely heard
him, then he said: See here
Adam, why can't we change
places?-I'lI take over your Job
in South America and you take
over my family?,
'Oh Mr.. King that's the queer
est joke / ever heard you set off.
You won't find it q joke"
said Mr.. King, ana he took the
young man. BY the arm and asked
him point blank, will you do it?''
He pointed toward the sun par
Tor which Eva and Julie, with
their accompanying admirers, were
now entering to get a view of the
man from the Wilds.
You think they are gift from
heaven, ! suppose?' asked King,
motioning toward the laughing
group.
Il sure. do" Adam assured him.
Then it's time somebody OPEN

But. Mr.. Kfngwhat would they
say to such a fantastic scheme?''
Mr.. King picked up a check

they .devour-they'lI behave all
right when you wave this little
book at EN-: they'll all sit up on
their hind legs and say .woof.'
Well, how about it?''
Adam Smith shrugged. You're
giving me the best of the bar
gain, he said.
Wait here minute said Mr..
King, and he strobe to the door
of the sun parlor and called,
No master of ceremonies could
have acted the part better than
Mr.. James King as the girls
came into the room with Horace
Clinton and Lord Andrew. He
introduced them to Adam one by

Adams admiration for Eva.

Famous Beauty and Prima Donna.

WKYALKING is the exercise in
" which the average person
Nv most INDUCES. This is
equally true of the athlete and the
comparatively inactive person.
The fact remains, whenever we go
anywhere or take part in almost
any physical activity, walking is
involved.
of course a person living close
TO nature, brought up out-of-doors
like some little Tarzan of the
Apes, would naturally walk and
ran with absolute. unconscious
grace, for the normal. easy way is
the graceful. But in these days
of artificial living conditions,
many bad habits of posture and
carriage need to be corrected.
Like all other bodily move
ments, walking is the direct re-
suit of thinking. If you think
fearlessly and clearly, the chances
are that you walk erect without
Gelf-conscious awkwardness.
Here are two simple exercises
that will help you to correct any
bad habits of walking into which
you may have fallen. And If you
always remember that there is no
need to criDge and no need to
strut with self-important, since
we are what we are not because
of ourselves but because of the
gift of life impaired to us from
the Infinite life-principle-if we
shall not fall into the habit of a
shfftless and cringing or of a
strutting walk.
The first exercise is especially
simple. When you are alone in
your room, practice walking on
your tip-toes. OF course you will

And who was in this plot,
Horace?"
"All of them except me-" ex.
planned Horace, 'and it proves /
am the only sick man in the
house."
'There'n be a. lot more sick
ones before I am through with
them," said Mr.. King. What
more he might have said on the
subject was interrupted by the
arrival of Adam Smith, the young
man from the wilds Of South
America.
Mr.. Smith was clean-cut
young chap with a rather wistful
eye. He had never known what
it was to have a home of his
own, and when he entered the
employ of Mr.. King as an office
boy he had visualized the home
of the latter as a haven where
jolitly and beauty resigned SUI
preme.
Mr.. King liked Adam Smith;
he had promoted him rapidly and
sent him on missions that re-
quired tact and judgment. The
latest was a trip to the rubber
country OF the Amazon. Adam
had done all that could be ex-
pected there, but he had COM
planned about the loneliness.
J. And now he was back in Amer
lea again to make his report to
his employer and to ask him not
to make him return to the wilder
ness. AS the jitney he had hired
at the station drove him through
the grounds OF Mr.. Kings prop
erty Adams eyes took in their
beauty with a keener appreciar
ton perhaps because OF his mem
cries Of the vast forests. Of the
greatest river in the world and
the undivided country about it.
He caught a glimpse of a group
on one of the verandas girls in
snowy dresses, men in flanneIs
they looked so cool, so home
like. Adam Smith actually sighed
as he paid the driver, walked up
to the door, rang the bell and
waited for admittance.

w OUTH has been called the

four-score years and seen hopes

he loves me, but he lives with
his wife and children. He tells
me he will divorce his wife and
then he will marry me. Can 1
believe him? READER.
IF / were you I would stop to
think of the wife and children.
Then 1 would also consider what
I was doing to my own character
by the course you are pursuing.
How can you trust a man who is

swore at the altar to love and
cherish? Rest assured that he liz
not going to divorce his wife and
marry you, and that il he did you
would not be happy with your
