 It was during that uncertain inter. val between the arrival and the sepa. ration that the audience was able tc Lydig. And what magic words could ever make you visualize herl
 She is very tall and quite slim, though she is said to have the most beautiful shoulders in the world. She has a strange ivory. pallor and raven hair. Rouge she never uses, but her lips are vivid scarlet She dresses al. most inclusiYely in black and white So much for her coloring. But that isn't the thing that makes Mrs. Philip Lydig the most striking woman in New York. It's her contour, her, coiffure and the remarkable way in which she studiously accentuates every bad line she has and gets away with it. Gets away with 1t? Well, should think she does. Many a woman would give her all to look like she looks, but few would have the courage to follow her method.
 Her High Forehead Curves
 Her neck is very long and very thin. Her chin and mouth are small. Her nose spreads and there is a curious indentatior at it's base. Her forehead is high and round and curves from that indentatiofl at the base of the nose, first out and then back again to where the hair line begins. And then--the coiffure! How shall I describe that The straight black hair is brushed se- verely back above the ears and a high loose pompadour is pulled straight back so as not to conceal that queer curve of the forehead to the hair line. Con- ceal that receding line generally con- sidered unlovely? Not bit of it.
 But that elongated Mrs. Wiges-of- the-C e-Cabbage-Patch knot high at the back of the headi How did she man. age that? For all the world it looked as if she had screwed 1t up at the last moment. It was unbelievable that it could have been intentional. The line slanting backward from the tip of her nose to the crest of that pompadour seemed yard long, and that from the tip of her nose to the tail end of that Psyche knot---or whatever it was seemed even longer. But the effect was marvellous.
 It was perfectly plain that that sim pie little woman with the white wreath

much reward shall l offer ?' she asked.
 ''It was a mans voice, " said her mother, "a very nice, cultivated voice.
 Rose was all a-flutter for some reason when she walk ed down - street, the next morning, looking for 445. It proved to be a big white brick house, sur rounded by a pretty lawn, hedges, flower beds. And the maid took her into a long, artistically furnished living room.
 In a few minutes an elder ly man in a velvet breakfast coat came out, notebook in hand. One look at his fine, intellectual face and Rose knew she couldn't offer him a reward.
 You're a stenographer," he said pleasantly, when he told her of finding her book on street.
 Rose never knew why. but she opened her heart to him about her job and disap- pointnent in it's opportuIii4 ties for interesting work.
 Do you like research work? ?" he asked.
 "Yes, I love it next to ere ative work, like writing"
 "I don't know anything about your qualifications, but would you be interested>in a sort of secretarial job for an author? The truth is I am looking for a suitable person who knows stenogra- phy and at the same time has had enough training and education and intellectual equipment to look up refer ences and do a very high class research work I might explain that I am Professor Gray and I am writing a book now on political science -"
 "Oh, I've heard of you! Why we studied your text book at college" exclaimed Rose.
 Well, so much the bet ter" he said with 6 smile.
 It was so much the better all around--as events turned out--that Rose blessed the god of chance that made her lose that notebook. Put she paid positive reverence to the Want Ad that turned her ill wind into a benefi- cent wait from heaven.

!" Iris an ill wind that blows nobody good some times holds true, and some times it doesn't. In this case fts was an Age-Herald Want Ad that veered the chilly current around to a southwesterly direction and brought balmy promises in it's wake.
 Losing a notebook filled with notes it has taken you two days to collect, and whichg your employer is waiting for you to trans scribe, hasn't much of a sil- yer lining-to change the figure of speech from wind to clouds.
 And that was what Rose did. Rose had been gradu- ated from college during the war. Her big desire was to go "Over There" and she learned stenography as the surest means of achieving her desire, as many girls did. But the war got over before she did. Then she went in for free lance writing, but success didn't come very fast and she began to look about for a steady job.
 She had always wanted to make use of her stenogra- phy, so she accepted a secre- tarial job with a firm of patent lawyers. They told her she would be given op- portunity to do really re- sponsible research work at the library from time to time. But it was six months before7she got her chance.
 She had loved research work at college, so she put her heart and soul into this particular task, looking up the history of a certain chemistry patent. She took copions notes half in long hand and half in short hand.
 She finished by II o'clock of the second day. It was raining when she came out of the library and she need ed three hands to manipu- late her bag, her notebook and her umbrella. When she reached the restaurant, the notebook was gone. Panic stricken, she retraced her route to the library. But she could not find it.
 There was one ray of hope-she jumped into a taxi and went to The Age Herald where she put a

Miss Mamie Bruce G0ode and Miss Anna Stay, popular members of the senior class of the Lanier High school of this year, were the inspira- ton for q beautiful party Thursday aft ernoon when Mrs B. S. Maultsby en- tertained at bridge party honoring the two lovely girls.
 A color scheme of yellow and white was used in the dining room where the guests were invited at the conclusion of the game. The table was spread with a handsome lace cloth over yellow satin and enAincling the ceterpiece, which was formed of Ophelia roses, were silver candlesticks holding yellow burning ta- psrs. Mrs. Maultsby was assisted in serving a salad and ice course by Mrs. Luther Waller, Miss Bessie Maultsby, Mrs. Ernest Stay and Mrs. Douglas Goode.
 Five tables for bridge were placed in the reception room and living room, which was prettily decorated with pink roses and snapdragons. At the conclu- sio1 of the game, beautiful prizes were siven for top score and to the honored gutskS.

and the pretty face would never, never make the slightest dent in the conscious ness of the Rev. Percy--not after Rita. And Rita knew 1t.
 Black Velvet With v's
 But the gown she wore--I must not forget that. Of course, it was black black velvet. Of course it was tight and straight. The bodice, to further accentuate the long lines, was cut in c deep narrow v, back and front. and narrow V-shaped inserts of exouisite white lace pointed downward from the shoulders.
 Last winter there was drawing of Mrs. Lydig in an exhibition at the National Arts club. It was called Vibrating to Jack-in-the- Pulpit," and showed this fascinating and original woman in profile, contemplating Jack. in-the- Pulpit which she held daintily in her slender hand. One morning Mrs, Lydig stepped from her car at the door of the club and went in. The price of the picture given in the cAtaloaue was $100. She wrote her check for that amount, stayed long enough to see the "sold" sign placed in the corner of the picture, and drove away.
 A pompous looking man who sat next to me aG the dinner said the LydiR- Grant case was interesting because 1t involved not only the rights and inter ests of two private citizens, but because 1t precipitated q question between the church and the state.
 But the attitude of the public mind is best reflected in remark I over heard one bellboy make to another in the lobby of the Biltmore after the diri4 .ner the other evening. Evidently they had been discussing the affair and the opposition of the bishop. The boy men tioned the bishop and the next world. and added

KNOWS MODELS, WEEDS COOK

This is a romance for nice girls to read--girls who have passed 25 and are capable and independent and bit wist. full about life--nice, plain girls who sometimes wonder if it wouldn't be more exciting to be beautiful and dumb, says the New York World.
 This romance of spring time and the triumph of good cooking over the per feet thirty-fours of New York city be- longs ito J. B. Bolton, fashion expert of the Retail Millinery association, and Miss Ethel Helen Cough.
 To start at the beginning, as true romances should, for yours Bolton has done fashion shows. More than all he knows models. He has been con. noisseur of feminine lines, lovely, al. turing lines,- from the days when the thirty-six was perfect to the present ascendence of the thirty-four.
 It is, moreover, conceivable that even the perfect thirty-sixes or fours might not have been entirely impervious to the charm of J. R. Bolton, with his six feet of good broad height, his gracious manner and his ability to wear spats and a.boutonniere with effect.
 Two years ago Miss Ethel Helen Cough, just over from London, became housekeeper for Bolton. Miss Cough reaches the third button on Mir. Bottoms vest, wears a No. "A shoe, Is bobbed. haired and soft-eyed, but would never get a job as a model. But what per fectl ywonderful eight-course dinners she coneocted in the kitchenette and served to the polly members of J. R. Bottoms own private informal Napkin Ring club"
 This went on for two years. The other day Miss Cough and Mir. Bolton were married.
