SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
When You Pat Yourself.
BY MIMI.

There comes a minute to each of us
! when looking back over an evening
of popularity or a week of good times
| or a season of hard successful work,
we say to ourselves: Yes. you're
pretty darn good. and you deserve to
be patted on the back. Not many
girls have done that, etc, etc"
And just as we're patting ourselves
approvingly on the shoulder. along
! comes a staggering blow that takes
all the starch out of US and puts US
way back where we started.
It's a dangerous moment-that in
which we mentally applaud ourselves
for our cleverness, our beauty, our
popularity.
We're apt to do something rather
headstrong and foolish and conceited
while we're in the mood Of self-ex-
altation.
Blanche was the worlds best
dancer. If ever there was a dancing
competition in any hotel or dance club,
our little B. and her escort walked
| away with the prize.
Evening after evening she tri-
umphed over anybody else, till at last
it was almost a sure thing that If she
appeared on a dance floor nobody else
had q chance.
One evening we sat watching a com
petition in one of the larger hotels
and we smiled as we saw the Judge
skiing couple after couple to leave the
floor. so that finally only two pairs
r1nained-one Of them, of course,
being Blanche and her man.
We watched the girl as she glided
around the fioor-consCious pride in
her superiority showed in every line
of her face. Her partner executed a
difficult step and B., with an express
sion of MY dear, you can't fool me
with any step in the world made a
magnificent twirl, stumbled and fell
headlong.
Not a very serious blow, perhaps,
but people laughed for a long time
afterward whenever her name was
mentioned.
Then there was Betty, who was alb
solutely certain of her power over
men. She knew that the fortunate
man she'd happened to favor with
her affection could never be aught
but adoring.
One day when a girl friend exclaim-
ed admiringly that she didn't know
quite how Betty did 1t, the young
vamp. with a surge of arrogant pride,
remarked languidly: MY dear, l can
do anything l like to with my f1ance
He doesn't dare go against me in any.
| thing. I've got him right under my
thumb"
And not a week later the fiance
astonished all our set by breaking the
engagement himself, and becoming en-
! gagged to another girl shortly after.
1t took Betty a long time TO live
that down.
II is a tried and true fact that once
you get too pleased with yourself
once you become sure that you're bet
ter than anybody else in your particu-
lar ltne-once you indulge in a con-
ceited remark to that effeCt-you'r re
due for an awful comedown.
SO watch yourself carefully. and
when the temptation comes to you TO

Oh, Boy. A Highboy!

They may not all express It lust
that way. but most householders feel
"Oh, boy. A highboy." when they see
one OF those delightfully."- dignified, vet
quantity old-fashioned, commodious
sets OF drawers.
And there are very practical as we'll
as sentimental reasons for the effusive
regard which so many have for the
highboy.
The term highboy is applied rather
loosely to any two-storied effect in
chest Of drawers. 1t originated before
the day Of the modern clothes and
linen closets. and was designed to
meet the same need. plus the storage
space we now have in such things as
chiffoniers and cedar chests The
highhoy seldom stands below Az feet
in height-often much taller-and it
Is broad and deep. so that one really
contains an immense amount of
drawer space.
In the apartment or house which is
not supplied with closets il is lust as
useful today as it ever was: in a com
binatiOn living and sleeping room il
solves the problem Of keeping bed
covers and linens accessible without
detraCting from the dignity of the
room in the daytime, and in any room
where there is space enough il is a
great convenience and an attractive
piece of furniture.
The highboy fits in especially well
these days when things colonial are
SO much the vogue. In fact. it came
into being during the time of William
and Mary, and was perhaps even
more popular In the early American
homes than in England. No artist
ever pictures an important colonial
room without a highboy or some of
its close relations.
Strictly, the highboy has the effect
of a chest of drawers ON top of
tablelike stand. This may have
deep drawer on either side. or the
drawers may run clear across, but
there are invariably more or less
prominent legs to support and dis
tinguish the true highboy.
A highboy which appears to he two
complete chests of drawers, one above
the other, with the top set somewhat
shallower than the lower one. is in
reality a ''tallboy." 1t is less beau
tiful piece Of furniture, and possibly
got its name because OF its rather
awkward appearance.

CHAPTER Xxx.
Doubts and Fears.

The minute they left Dean Hamp-
ton, Jack began to talk about him.
Deans great old boy, isn't he?
Not overkeen on women, although he
and Elsie seem to hit it off all right.
They were great little pals last sea
SON"
Elsie name struck a little bell in
Fays brain and set it tingling. SO
Dean liked Elsie Norris. But why?
To be sure, Elsie was pretty enough,
but there was nothing particularly
attractive about her. She was just
like any other nice young American
girl; in fact, she was not unlike what
Fay had been before she adopted the
personality Of Kitty Carlyle. lit was
all very puZZling, but she was not
going to worry about it. She would
wait and see what happened in the
days to come and in the meantime
she would improve every opportunity
that came her way.
DO you mean that Mr. Hampton
is a woman hater?" Fay asked, in
jecting an amused note into her voice.
That sounds interesting. as though
he had had a blasted love affair, or
something like that"
Jack laughed.
Nothing like that, / guess, although
I'm sorry to disappoint you. He just

inc old Dean in love"
Perhaps he hasn't met the right
woman" Fay said quietly. ANY man
is vulnerable, you know. What is
that they say about the time, the
place and the grip"
We'll. you'll have a chance to oh
serve his reactions where women are
concerned during your stay up here, -
Jack returned gayly. We always see
a great deal of him, and he'll be at
the picnic on Saturday of next week. "
How do you know l shall be go.

me-" Jack said, with a grin. 'And
it's just as well | happened to men
ton it early. This time tomorrow
YOU would he sure TO be dated up
with some one else, and | probably
wouldn't have d chance"
AS a matter of fact, Jack was not
far from right, for as they reached
the hotel Elsie hailed them from the
midst of a gay crowd of people.
During Fay'S walk with Jack she
had been the main topic Of converse
ton at the inn. Elsie had told them
all she knew, adding the fact that
Jack was sure she was a widow.
"Of course, Jack has fallen desper.
ately hard" she added with a laugh.
Il wonder how Dean Hampton will
like her" remarked one of the girls,

What / TomorrowMeans toYou
By MARY BLAKE.

! The unfavorabie aspects that pre-.
vail today are replaced tomorrow with
those of a more roSeate and hopeful
| character. Initiative will earn it's re-
ward, and perseverance will ultimately
| succeed. 1t is a particularly propi-
tious opportunity for the closing Of
ideals, consummation of arrangements,
1 and also for correspondence. While
| there will be sensed a feeling of ag-
gresslveness, pugnacity and untactful-
ness will be conspicuous by their alb
| sence, and there will be an earnest
| desire TO obtain what you want by
persuasion, rather than by force. The
eventide will be found desirable for
lovers and love-making. and respon-
siveness will be sensed 1t is a very
| favorable occasion, and one fraught
with happiness. for becoming en-
gagged"
Children born tomorrow will, ac-
cording to the signs, enjoy exception
ally rugged health. but, owing to their
recklessness' and abounding animal
| spirits, are liable to suffer more from
accident than from sickness. They
should be trained to avoid the taking
of chances" They will be courageous,
both physically and spiritually, and
once their line of conduct is mapped
out. no Establishment or inducement
will make them turn from their course
1ney VIII De reSolUte and determined,
| not overstudious. but sufficiently so to
get by"
If tomorrow is your birthday. you
are fairly reticent. quiet, unassuming,
but very capable. You never lose
your poise, and, in face Of a great
difficulty, are always calm and col
lected, which never fails to inspire
confidence in those around you.
You possess good executive ability,
are able to think logically, act with
good judgment. and are never i'm
pulsive. Although you rarely, If
ever, become enthusiastic, you are not
lacking in love and sympathy. You
despise HYPOCRISY. or any form of ap-
pearance other than that of natural
ness and sincerity.
Art and music, in their higher
forms, attract you, and. while you
revel in ease and comfort, you are
adaptable.
You love your home above all else,
and its ties and obligations are always
held sacred by you.
Well known persons born on that
date are: John G. Brown, artist:
Henry NJ. Alden, editor and author:
Thomas 3. Aldrich, poet and novelist;
Anna K. (Green) Rohlfs, author;
Maude Adams, actress; j. Ogden Ar

Importance Of a Youthful Voice
BY LYDIA lie BARON WALKER.

voices may indicate extreme youth,
as lnstanced in Children's voices. They
may beSpeak adult years, or they may
betray old age. American voices show
all these stages very decidedly.

those about YOU speaking in the troll
leyS, in the theaterS on on the street.
Nou soon learn to detect. without look

You were in England and listened to

To all these there are satisfying an

Allied Troops to
Stay at Bridgehead
Germany Informed

Berlin. Jan. S (By A. P)-Germany
was informed by the Inter-Allied
Ambassadors here today in an iden-
tic note that the allied troops would
not eYacuate the Cologne bridgehead,
Jan. 10. The note was the outcome of
the recent decision of the allied
council of ambassadors that Ger
many had not fulfilled the obliga-
tons she had accepted as a condition
to evacuation.
Official comment on the note was
confined to brief communique in
which the German government char
ges that the defaults cited as the ba-
sis for the allied refusal to vacate
the Cologne zone are of such gen.
eral nature and so completely lack
ing in material foundation that dis
cussion of them must be deferred I'M
til the allied governments submit
an simplifying note.
The German government, however,
the communicate states, believes it.
self warranted in asserting that the
present state of the disarmament
question affords no justification for
the adoption of so grave a measure
as the continuation of the occupation
of the Cologne bridgehead. It's at
titude on this question will be COM
municated to the allied governments
in the near future.
