There was a fine enthusiasm in

Two years had made noticeable
changes in him. He was just
Twenty-Five years old, but the
last vestige of boyhood and ado
lcscence had vanished. His face
was graver, more set, fuller, and
he frowned more readily. He was
heavier, too; a faint suggestion
in his girth implied an inclination
to paunchiness. But he was far
more presentable and imposing
than when he had arrived in San
Francisco, a raw boy from the
country. Now he was carefully
groomed; shoes, clothes, scarf, and
shirt were correct and good; he
gave the impression of spending
more time and thought on ths

to their cut or finish. His per-

CHI OOSING G.
YOUR CHINA
by LOrettO C. Lynch
A Recognized Authority oH-AH
Matters Pertaining to House
hold Management.

~ IGHT now many of the
better shops are putting on
~ sales of china. And for
the novice it is often difficult to
decide just which to choose. Per-
haps a few hints will prove help
full.
Do not select company china"
In other words, do not select
china either so expensive or so
beautiful as to make 1t unfit for
general use. We all know women
with a bewildering array of fine
china carefully placed away in
a cabinet to be used only on rare
occasions.
The better china to purchase is
the American porcelain. This
comes in a variety of pleasing de-
signs. Look at the Fusan pat
tern and also the old HARLEM
pattern. Moreover, all OF the
first class American porcelain
comes in "open stock" This
means that, should one break a
dish or wish to add extra dishes
as the need arises, it is quite pos
sible to do so.
Then, too. the American porce-
lain Is not as expensive as the
imported. nor so elaborate, nor.
so easily broken.
It Is sometimes wise to buy
white dishes. These, Of course,
fit in nicely with any decorative
scheme you may wish to use
upon the table. Even If you
do not have a whole set of white
dishes, a few for breakfast may
be desirable.
But one should endeavor to
avoid a conglomeration of dishes
of various styles and patterns.
Make your selection of pattern
in open stock carefully and then
add new dishes as needed. In
this way you will eventually have
a harmonious collection worth
owning.

YOUR BEAUTY


; loxeliness lasting and add to it
individuality and charm.
Content yourself with the nat
ural, but try to perfect the
natural. All art can do Is to ex-
press the perfection OF nature.
Be simple and unassuming in your
manner, your daily regime, your
appearance. Live according to
simple, natural rules of health
we all know them well. Sleep
your full nine hours. battle
scrupulously, eat regularly of
simple food, get plenty of sun
shine and fresh air and exercise
Then you'll not need rouge or lip
stick to improve your appearance.
But If you do use cosmetics, let
your art in applying them conceal
itself as all art should, and so
let your makeup at least look
natural.
Keep. out Of doors all you can.
Swimming, walking, rowing, canoe
ing, tennis, horseback riding-all
these are trusty aids.
Here is a simple indoor exercise
that will help you to attain the
physical poise so essential to
grace and beauty.
Stand erect with your right foot
well in advance OF and at right
angle to your left foot, your
weight evenly distributed between
the two. With circular move
ment Of your left arm, bend and
pick up an imaginary handker-
chief lying on the floor between
your feet; then, without bending
your elbow, complete a circle over
your head with your left arm
while you return to first position.
Without pausing. repeat this
exercise ten times. Use an even,
rhythmical movement in prac-
ticing it. You will find that it
brings nearly all your muscles
lulO play.
Do you wish to be interesting,
and to grow more and more inter
esting as the years roll by?
Then read great books as we'll as
current events, and think Of what
you read. Also keep interested
in all that is going on around
you. The person who is inter
ested in a wide variety Of subjects
and persons is always interesting
to others.
Then there is courtesy. Con-
Sfderate kindness will polish the
jewel Of your beauty until it
glows radiantly in the setting of
fine individuality.
To sum up in O word or two
naturalness Is the flower Of
beauty.

My heart gave a great lurch.
I thought of Jin's name for me
Lilac Princess. the name he
hadn't called me for so long. But
Aunt May didn't pursue the topic.
Instead she took my hand in one
Of hers and laid her other hand
on Ralph's arm.
1.-The gardens always here"
she said. And so am I. I'm an
old woman to whom life has
been very kind. And you two are
rny-boy and gir1-boy and girl.
1 want to see you both happy.

garden"
1 felt as If she'd called a bless
ing down on my head. The
turmoil and pain of the world
seemed very far away. Suddenly
words rushed to my lips:
Aunt May, my brother, Neal
has disappeared. Ralph and I
think he was half crazed by the
terrible way death took Phoebe.
We start a nationwide search to-
morrow. Ralph's helping me-"
Dryly Aunt May broke in:
"And Jim-what's he doing
about it?'
When Anut May sat there in
her peaceful old-fashioned garden
and asked what Jim was doing
TO aid in the search for Neal
I was absolutely nonplused. Eut
before my failure to reply became
too evident Ralph Lacy spoke up
like the gallant gentleman he is:
"Jim's letting me run this. It's

WED better start" said Aunt
May dryly, rising and slipping
her arm through mine.
Something in the very pressure
of her hand on my arm told me
that she had not been put off by
Ralph's ruse. Her business train
ing had made her too shrewd for
that. But her good taste pre-
vented her from saying a word
that savored of intrusion.
