How To Rouge Should Be
 Studied

Dead white cheeks and summertime don't go together very we'll, and so the few for whom the white-cheeked, car naine-lipped type was becoming are re- turning again to the rouge box.
 In New York and Paris this season ;tthe orange tones in rouges--steadily gaining in favor over the old purplish tone that looked like the dull flush of rising anger-are used almost exclu- z sitely by smart women. On the Rue de Ia Paix in Paris or Fifth avenue in New York one sees a great deal of the new Mandarine rouge, toned down in the daytime with Rachel or a 'tannish powder-like Peaches
 How do you rouge?
 The most generally accepted way of sfougink is to first put on your powder very thinly, then your rouge, and then 10 powder over the rouge, blending 1t Tremendously. Always use an upward movement, as in all working on the sface, shading the color off at the edges 50 that it will not be in a blot.
 If, for instance, your cheek bones are high and your face long, the tendency of your rouge should be fin more of a horizontal shape, extending across to your ears, instead of up and down. If your face is too square 1t may be narrowed in effect by rouge following fairly we'll the shape of your cheek fone. extending high up at the sides, in fact, high up and back of the eyes is :EhA most fortunate place, as this makes sthe eyes appear more brilliant and aarker. Color in towards the nose mar rows the face. However, the safest fuie is to ascertain where your natural color is, and then intensity it a trifle with rouge.
 Since the color tends to recede with age, an older womar's rouge should be lower on her face. Her makeup, too, must be lighter and more sparingly used, for if it is too dark it will make her eyes look faded, her hair duller.
 The younger woman and the girl may use rouge more generously-always pro- .viding that it is thoughtfully applied but it must be remembered that when red and other bright warm shades form a part of your costume the amount of rouge must be decreased.

My Husbdnd---7he BootIegger

| make some strong coffee, while the maid toasted thin slices of bread. I carried the tray to him.
 You must eat and drink, Mort. You will need all your strength to face what Is before you"
 He made no reply, but drank a cup of the coffee and ate a bit of the toast. He sat silent for q time, then staggered to his feet, leaned over the dear face a moment, his lips moving in what 1 knew was a prayer for forgiveness, and went out. l heard him drawing the wa ter for his bath, then moving about his chamber. When he returned he was shaved and dressed with his usual neat ness, but the look of despair on hij face frightened me.
 "FUr ny sake, for the sake of the other children, Mort" I begged, "try not to grieve 80. She is at rest"
 Would to God l was at rest with her" he broke out fiercely. Then with forced calmness Don't worry, Stella, I shall never fail you again.
 Soon after Clifford came and they left together. While my lovely dAugh- ter was being prepared for her resting place my husband was in the prisoner s dock, on trial for breaking his coun- try's laws. Can one conceive of sit- uation more terrible7
 Dorian Matthews was with me, try. ing to comfort, to bring me hope. But I hoped nothing, felt nothing save the merciful numbness that let me move about attending to All might that had to do with Lucille.
 Have you sent for DOnaldf" she asked.
 "No--shall I?'
 Her look of surprise answered me.
 Will you call long distance and tell him to cone?" asked. Her look warned me. must not neglect any thing that would point to Lucile's death as being the result of anything but nat ural causes.
 All that long morning moved about like an automaom. Dorian told me Fred had gone to the courthouse to be on hand if there was anything he could do for Mort, but her words scarcely pierced the fog in which l was en- veloped. Mort had givsL his word he would not fail me could not hold my mind to his trials 1t seemed some- thing apart--far off.
 heard Mona walking back and forth in her room and limpatientiy told Do- rian to go to her, to leave me alone with Lucille. Donald, she told me, would be home the following morning.
 Mona's pacing ceased and I knew Dorian was with her. Finally those who had been sent to help prepare my child for her long sleep went away. The house was very still, so quiet that newsboys calling extras in the street annoyed me. Why would they make rest?

 .'No," retorted Whitefcot promptly, "I don't want to be selfish. But if I should tell you this joke you wouldn't believe it, and I guess I'd rather Be thought selfish than one who tells nn- truths $.
 "But, would believe it." insisted Timmy. Haven't you and I always been the best of friends!" Whitefoot nodded and Timmy continued, ''Then why should you think that I won't believe you if you tell me the joker"
 Because 1t is too big joke for any body to believe. It is all can do to believe 1t myself" replied whitefoot. All the time he was just itching to tell.
 "I'll believe it." declared Timfny. "You ought to know me well enough by this time, Whltefoot, to know that 1 wouldn't doubt your word. I would be- lieve anything you told me If you said 1t was true. don't think 1t Is treating an old friend very nice to keep a good joke all to yourself. I wouldn't treat you that way. I don't believe your old joke is much any way. I'm going. Good by"
 "Wait minute, Tlmmyi I'll tell you the joke, only you musn't tell anybody else because I don't want everybody laughing at me-" cried whitafo0t.
 Timmy didn'e stop. He ran swifsly up to the top of tall tree, jumped and sailed down through the moonlight to the foot of another tree more than . hundred feet away. It was more like flying than jumping, but 1t wasn't, fly

 Mrs. Fisher motioned to the min ister to finger for an instant while the girl went on downstairs.
 "How do you think he looks?" the nurse asked with a nod toward the invalid.
 "Much thinner" was the reply. "I did not tell his daughter so, for it is hard enough for her as it is Her sis ter should be here"
 Mrs. Fisher started to speak, then shut her lips firmly. She had been a nurse long enough to know that it is well to keep silence-eveng regarding ones convictions.
 A moment later the clergyman, run ming lightly down the stairs, had joined his hostess in the library. She looked at him kcenly.
 What did Mrs. Fisher want to speak to you about?" she questioned. "She does not consider father any worse, does she?"
 The man smiled compassionately. Poor child !" he murmured, "how anx- ious you are! No, she did not mention any of her ideas with regard to her pa tient. She only asked me how l thought he looked"
 And what did you say?"
 "That he seems thinner than when I saw him last"
 You do not think that means any serious change, do you?" Lois insisted. T mean-wouldn't any one who took as little nonrishment as he has taken since the beginning of his illness, and lying still for weeks and weeks, get thin?" %
 Probably" Harold Summer assent ed. "Stop worrying!"

 T wouldn't believe 1t myself, if I didn't know it was so, thought White foot, tIt isn't the least use in the world to tell any one. It will only get me laughed at. I'll just keep 1t. to myself and enjoy it."
 But Whitefoot just couldn't do that. He had to tell some one. You see 1t is this way with most folks. There is q great deal of pleasure in knowing that you have done big thing, but there is great deal more pleasure in having people know it. That was the way Whitefoot the Wood Mouse felt. He was tickled almost to death over what he had done, but he wanted others to know of 1t. He knew that all his friends and neishb0rs looked on him as too small and timid to frighten anything bigger than good-sised fly. And yet he had frightened the biggest, strongest, most looked-up.to person in the Green Forest. Do you wonder that he wanted to tell about itf
 He kept his tonae still as long as he could, but when Timmy the F1ying Squirrel, who is one of the Whitefootis particular friends, wanted to know what was making him so happy he couldn't keep it to himself another minute.
 Its a joke, great joke" replied Whitefoot.
 All right, tell me what it is. I like jokes, and no one who knows q good joke has any business to keep it to him.

 But she soon became delirious again and just ns the dusk closed in her spirit fluttered from her frail body. Lucille was gone.

 ''Oh, why didn't you let me say good ble to herr" she cried.
 "She would not have known you, dear,'' comforted. "She hasn't known me since the fever began" That was the way we spoke of Lucile's illness "the fever"

He passed away him. self soon afterward and 1 am sure that he was not blamed by the Great Jus tice for making our sorrow a little more bearable by concealing my daugh- ter's secret from the world. &
 Neither I nor Mort had spoken of his trial since Lucile's terrible illness began. That night when we sat alone watching our dear darling spoke of it. Mort reused himself with an effort.
 ''So' it is, 1 had forgotten" he said wearily, then addeds Ut makes no dif- ference now"

 He did not speak again all that long night through. Mona came in and weeping kissed us, then pressed kiss on her sisters cold face and left us. The maid, who had loved Lucille in spite of her wilful way with her at times, was sobbing in the kitchen.
