where a man was sitting at desk stacked
with papers and letters.
The man looked up as she entered, and
said pleasantly:

nodded in reply, and greeted him, he asked
her to be seated, and then he said to the
sweet-faced young woman, who had already
begun to operate her typewriter very

MUD VOLCANOES ARE
 SC|ONS OF VULCANS
Believed to Be Progeny of Lava
 Emitting Eruptors

Washington. D. C., Jan. 22.-The recent discovery that huge mud eey- ser or mud volcano has developed during the past few years in the bot tom of the enormous crater of Kat ! mai in the peninsula of Alaska raises the question of the status of these less conspicuous relatives of ordinary volcanoes. A bulletin from the Wash ! ington, D. C.. headquarters of the National Geographic society describes them and tells of the places of their occurrence.
 Mud volcanoes and geysers are in most cases progeny Of lava and ash emitting Volcanoes-second and third generation offspring. as it were. Of q patriarch whose strain is losing it's virility,' says the bulletin. The old lava-tiows near the surface solidify, choke off tine possibility Of major cruptions for time at least. leaving. perhaps. only little crevices through which steam generated farther down may push upward in numerous jets.
 Where the Mud Comes From
 If these vents pass through rock. ordinary fumaroles or steaming cracks are formed on the surface. But if the steam passes through clay or shale or flnc volcanic dust on it's way to the surface these will absorb mois- ture. become creamy mud. and tend to flow into the crevicCs. The steam pressure pushes the mud upward and eventually throws it out of the vent at the surface more or less violently. In the course of time the mud thrust out al the surface builds up a cone, large or small according to the vol ume of steam and mud.

Costa Rica, hot far from the city Of San Jose. Poas might as truly be classified as giant geyser. In consists of a lake of mud and water in the bottom of a crater half a mile wide and 500 feet deep. As in a geyser the eruptions occur at more or less regular intervals, vary ing in this case from 12 to 20 min utess Sometimes the water will mere ly bubble up slightly in the center of the lake giving off steam.

of the Colorado river, just south of the California line where numbers of the little beehiyc-like mud mounds occur; and perhaps those of the Rus sian Crimea are of similar origin. Sometimes the little Etnas of mud are associated with petroleum and asphalt deposits as near Baku in Asia and the island of Trinidad off the northern shores of South America.

 "Poas demonstrates still further it's hybrid nature by displaying at times the characteristics of real volcano. In 1910 an eruption occurred which went far beyond the mud and water stage, pouring out thousands of tons of ash or sand as well as hErling large fragments of rock high into the air."

Not so very long ago I heard two
women discussing 4 third.
Il think she's not the least bit
pretty!" exclaimed one Of them. "If
she'd touch up her hair a bit, instead
Of leaving it that dreadful dust color,
and curl It, instead Of wearing it

would look shorter, she'd be hum
dred per cent better looking. But my
gracious! she gives herself all the airs
and graces of a beauty, and she really
buncoes people into thinking she is
one."
Il know IT," the other woman
agreed. ~And she does such queer
things. You know what her hands
look like-really too large, and thin.
Well, she bought a new ring the other
day, a big, squire one that she wears
on her little finger. I suggested that
she wear bracelets instead Of rings,
beucause her wrists are prettier than
her hands, and the bracelets would
call attention to them. And what DO
you suppose she said. That she want
ed to call attention to her hands
that they were well made, and strong,
and that strength was beauty. ]
never heard of such a thing!"
You see, you must decide for your
self what you want to emphasize. And
you must have the courage of your
convictions, once you reach them.
Don't think that all of the beautiful
girls who come to my office have been
beauties since they left the cradle.
Perhaps, looking at them, you'd think
that some Of theme weren't beautiful,
and would wonder why they had a
place In the "Follies." Someone else
would select those same girls as among
the most beautiful ones in the pro-
duction.
That would be because the. high
lights of those girls beauty did not
appeal to your taste. The same girl
can't be beautiful to everyone. The
points that those girls had selected for
emphasis wouldn't be points that you
liked.
But those girls have studied their
own beauty, or someone else has
studied it for them. One Of the points
they emphasize many antagonize you,
so that you don't get beyond 1t to the
beauty to which 1t calls attention. OF
course, a woman who takes the cour.
ageous path that leads to beauty runs
that risk. But as q rule, she gets
results that are worth it. She's like
the man who plays long shot at the
races. He may lose heavily, or he
may win enough to put him on Easy
Street.
Perhaps the "Follies" girls are not
very good illustrations, for of course
in the "Follies" chorus there is a
place only for very beautiful girls,
and one who had q single point that
was really bad would be crowded out
by another who was a perfect example
of her type. But they illustrate the
principle of the thing.
