II know I'm q Liar-But'

judith admits her fault calmly. She
writes: What s. the matter with me?
I'm as good looking as most girls
would like to behave plenty OF
money for clothes--know how to
dance and ride and do all sorts OF
things
yet I don't hold the boys very
long. They get tired of rne, drift
away. Why? / haven't any terrible
faults. OF course, know I'm a terri
BILE liar, but after all so are lots OF
girls today
I'm not malicious. don't drink or
indulge freely in smoking and petting.
I'm all right, but there's something
wrong in Denmark-what is it?'
What can you do with a dame like
that? She knows she's an awful liar,
but she can't figure out where her
trouble lies.
1t doesn't occur to her that her dis
honesty may be giving her q back seat
with the boys.
She thinks they don't notice-don't
catch on. Oh, yes they do. Some OF
them remember little things she said
weeks ago, and they check up on her.
Others find that half the boasts she
makes are entirely without foundation.
Others find her breaking dates and
on, those boys. even IL they're not as
skillful in the art of deception as their
girl friends.
Yet, Judith merrily goes her way ly-
ing with right good humor and fussing
because nobody appreciates her.
Let her correct the fault she herself
has pointed out and things will be
different.
Judith isn't the only selfsatisfied
4 T. -. ~ civic
tell me they're all right. Then they
go on to explain that they're only hui
man.
One girl admits that she is awfully
selfish and wrapped up in herself
Another confesseS with no little
pride that she has dreadful temper.
Another admits that she does treat
her family very badly but still that
shouldn't keep her away from dances.
The truth is that girls don't really
think the moral virtues are so i'm
portant.
They figure that If they've passed
dress and pep, they're entitled to a
scholarship.
OF course. don't pretend that alb
solute virtue ever made any one riot.
Or that the blacklist heart in the world
wasn't sometimes to be found in the
breast Of the most popular girl in
town.
But very often that unimportant
little fault of yours, which you tell of
so light.heartedly and casually may be
just what's holding you from the goal
you aspire to.
When you're setting out to make
yourself over so that you'll have a bet
ter time and enjoy greater popularity
don't neglect one flaw in your
makeup.
Particularly don't overlook moral
faults on the ground that they won't
/ ruin your complexion.
Disposition is just as important as
complexion in the long run and it's
the long run that counts even in the
matter of popularity.

CHAPTER Xxx.
A Peace Offering.

II wanted to bring you these as a
peace Offering" Barry said, rendering
Leila the square white box that he
carried. ALSO to ask you to forgive
me If you can, and to tell you that
you needn't be afraid Of me any
longer"
His tone sounded sincere, and yet
Leila could not be sure. She felt that
she knew Barry and she ionged to
refuse the flowers, but on the other
hand. II he were sincere, it would be
foolish to anger him.
As she hesitated he spoke again.
You'll take them, won't you?
They're just violets. Surely you
won't refuse to accept an apology?"
With a generous impulse Leila held
out her hand.
THANK you," she said simply; 81
do accept your apology"
Then she stepped back into her
room and closed the door.
AS she opened the box and took out
the large bunch Of fragrant purple
vtolets a feeling of misgiving swept
over her and she was sorry for the
impulse that had made her accept
them. Why hadn't she merely ac-
cepted the apology and refused the
flowers? She hated the feeling OF
having taken anything from Barry,
and besides she could not rid herself
Of the suspicion that he was not
sincere in his motives. Why should
he change his attitude SO suddenly?
1t wasn't as If he possessed fine in
stincts that could make him sorry for
what he had done. She was almost
certain now that he was playing some
game to further his own ends.
It was this feeling that made her
throw out the flowers on the following
day, although they were still fresh.
She could not bear the thought of hav
ing q gift from Barry in her room.
The fresh woodsy odor of the violets
assailed her whenever she opened her
door and reminded her of this man
she had come to hate.
In the days that followed 1t actually
seemed as If he had meant what he
had said and she began to be ashamed
Of herself for her suspicious. When
she met him about the house he no
longer stopped her and she was be-
ginning to lose the fear that he would.
One night as she was returning from
her weekly evening at the business
school she encountered Kuwa as she
was crossing the hall on her way up
to her room. With his usual blank
expression he informed her that Mr..
Kingsley would like to see her in the
| library.
Leila's eyebrows went up sharply
| and the smile with which she had
greeted the little Japanese vanished
| from her face.
Which Mr.. Kingsley" she asked
breathlessly.
Leila's quick fear that it might b
Barry vanished when Kuwa told her
that It was Richard who wished to
| speak to her, and wondering what on
earth he could want with her, she
made her way to the library. She
was wearing the simple gray suit and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-07-20

the little felt hat that she had worn
on the day Mona had first interviewed
her. The suit was not new, but the
lines OF it proclaimed the fact that 1t
had come originally from an exclusive
shop. The little English hat, too,
looked expensive.
As she entered the library and
walked with easy assurance down the
long room, Richard looked up sud-
denly and with an exclamation rose
to his feet. He had seen Leila only
once before in street clothes and at
that time had barely glanced at her.
Tonight he saw her not as a lady's
maid in frilled cap and apron but as
a woman in his own walk in life, and
his rising to his feet was involuntary.
Leila went pink to the tips Of her
ears, under the small rolled brim of
her hat; her gray eyes were starry.
1t was the first time in many weeks
that a man had paid her the compli-
ment of rising when she entered the
room. 1t made her feel like the old
Leila, proud and subservient to no
one.

covered Some viands require to be
covered either because they absorb
fiavors Of other foods and so lose
their distinction or because they have
so pungent or decided an aroma that
they impart their flavor.
It is now possible to buy "refriger-
ator SETS that is, nests of dishes
that will fit space well and keep the
food as it should be. Some of these
nests are of glass, crockery or metals.
Some are oblong in shape and are
fitted with covers. And then there
are endless odd dishes well adapted to
the purpose. 1t is mistake to put
food away in dishes needed for the
table. You cannot serve the food on
them as they are, even though the
identical food is wanted. The dishes
have to be washed before using. This
means putting the contents on other
dishes at the same time, so no work
is saved. Also the dish may be
wanted for some other Wand, and this
is inconvenient. When clearing away
dishes after a meal it is so easy to
put the food in the refrigerator on
the dish in which it is. But it will
be seen that it adds to work later
on and so is by no means a labor
saving method.
Butter Containers, Etc.
Among the excellent dishes for re-
frigerator use are those for butter; OBJ
long shaped, covered glass containers.
They cost but a few cents, in the one
pound size, and not very much even
in the two-pound size. Print butter
fits perfectly in them. and tub but
ter can be cut in serving portions
and be fitted in we'll. The glass cover
keeps the butter from absorbing
fiavors of other foods. These con-
tainers can be used for many other
foods equally well. With their fiat
tops, one container cam stand on an
other, thus conserving space admir-
ably. A few Of these dishes will sim
plify putting away foods, and prove
conveniences.
Tumblers and Jars.
Besides the dishes that come on
purpose for refrigerators those every
housewife has can be put to excellent
use. For example. old jelly tumblers,
especially those with covers, will hold
small portions of food that one hest
tates to throw away even though the
quantity Is trifiing. These take up
small space on shelves. Then there
are pint and quart size preserve jars
that fit finely on the shelves requir-
ing small space. AS the jars are high
in proportion to their circumference,
they hold a good deal.
Other Dishes.
Plates and round dishes are not
adapted to refrigerator purposes.
They occupy large surface spaces
without supplying depth. Oval dishes
and oblong glass, enamel or metal
containers are preferable.

Clues to Character
By ). o. ABERNErHY.
Poor Memory.

4 AS all musical and spoken sounds
are based upon curve, it would fol-
low logically that an ear that was
angular or pointed in its outline
would not receive musical or spoken
sounds with the same degree Of ac-
curacy as those ears that are nor
mally formed. Those with abnormal
forms of the external ear are not so
apt in the art of music or as good
linguists as those whose ears are more
normal in form.
The ear is a very sensitive organ
and 1t is certain that If it is well
formed without, so will it be within.
The more delicate the ear the higher
the quality of the individual who
wears 1t and the better adapted to
hearing and to music will this organ
be.
Refined and cultivated persons in.
variably possess large, thin, trans
lucent ears which are broad, promi-
nent, well formed and symmetrical.
Ears Of this kind also are indicative
Of q love for music and a keen APP
probation and sensitiveness to sounds.
Those who are noted for their
memory and musical ability have
large ears. The small cared individu-
al never takes any medals as musi-
clan. Ears that are narrow, thick and
misshapen. crlmpled or crushed, are
signs of defective music ability and

Thank you," replied Danny. IF
you ask me, everything Is queer
around here"
It was with a little sigh of thank
fitness that he finally curled up in
his own snug bed to sleep. Then he
dreamed of crabs. He dreamed of
crabs with great big pinching claws,
and they were always reaching for
him. He still couldn't get over the
idea that they were, spiders wearing
shells-great, big armored spiders. 1t
didn't seem to him that he ever would
get used to them.
The next morning Danny once more
went exploring out on the salt marsh.
He couldn't help but feel more COM
Portable over there in the grass, even
though it were not the kind OF grass
he was used to. BY and by he came
to the bank of q creek, which you
know is a stream of water. 1t was
salt water creek. Danny didn't know
ii, but it was really a branch of the
mouth of the Big River, which came
down from the Green Meadows, where
he had lived all his life. But Danny
wasn't thinking of things of this kind.
You see, without any warning he
came to a place which was really a
town. He didn't know it. All he saw
at first was a great number OF holes
in the mud of the bank and back from
the bank a little way. OF course, he
noticed those holes right away.
II wonder who made them and II
anybody lives in them" said Danny
to himself.
AS if in answer, out of one Of those
holes popped a little crab, but the
funniest crab Danny had yet seen.

that was carried up and in front OF II

one appeared from another hole. This

were small. In a minute crabs were

and some did not; and how they did

ardent fans who gathered at -h@

the match between Suzanne LenGler
