In relocating biscuits or rolls i
keep them from drying out, try put.

ENVIRONMENT
DOMINANT

ENVIRONMENT is the most
- efficient and accurate inf1u-
ence in determining ones destiny,
according to J. s. Pierce, 125 Fifth
ST., NJ, E., who is the winner OF
cid Bell Wright's newest novel,
"A Son of His Father.
Mr.. Pierce is convinced that
environment stamps itself upon
all life. animate and -inanimate.
He declares that. IL our hardy oak
should be transplanted in a trop-
ical climate. it would, in time. be-
come tender plant and that If a
babe, born in. the most refined
surroundings. should be reared
under the tutelage Of heathens,
would develop into savage. Here
are Mr.. Pierce's own words on
the subject of heredity and envir-
onment:
Environment stamps it's i'm.
press upon all life, animate and
.nanimate.
If our hardy oak should be
transplanted in a tropical climate
it would. in time, become a tender
plant, and likewise a tropical
plant removed to a harsher CHI
mate would become hardy. The
same cruel law which governs
plants follows in the wake of man.
'tAs a mans environment is so
Is he. If brat from a Hottentot
howell should be reared in one Of
our homes of refinement and
under the guardianship of Chris
tian teachers he would become a
polished Christian gentleman.
IF a babe born Of the most
refined Caucasian parents should
be brought UP under the tutelage
Of heathens in the heart of Africa
he would doubtless develop into

Pretty Knees Are Scarce,
and the Girl Who Isn't
Sure Of the Beauty Of
Hers Is Wiser If She
Leaves Them in
Doubt
BY Fay King

UTELL. I hope il any Of these
W frivolous frills are making
New Year resolutions. one Of
them win be to remember that
making q phone call from a pub
lie booth does not entitle one to
a lease on the place!
How many times has lineup
Of anxious mothers and consider
ate husbands stood by while every
booth was tenanted BY some
sweet thing spouting baby talk
TO her boy friend!
The boy friend at the other end
Of the wire is trying no doubt To
make 1t sound like an important
business conversation to the boss,
and that makes It worse for the
lineup!
also wish that students Of
flapperology would call clinic or
something and convince some Of
these cuties that there are GER
tain dimpled dimensions absolute
" necessary for the success Of
rolled stockings!
An over-plump knee and bulg-
ing ankles will attract more
favorable comment if covered and
shod in shades less conspicuous!
Pretty knees are scarce. and
!. the girl who isn't certain or the
beauty of hers is wiser il she
leaves them in doubt.
Also while summing up your
list for the New Year make p
point to muzzIc the malicious
gossip! Remember in court what
you think or what somebody
.elae thinks. doesn't count for .
thing! Only what you know, for
fact!
So don't dist out any far
fetched opinions or allow any
thing anybody else says to In
nuence you. Base your opinions
of people upon your own expe-
rience with them.
Be careful this year what you
put in writing!
Never writela letter you wouIdn [
want read out loud or see in
print
If you must write such a letter,
write it but don't mail it for a
coupla days.
Read it over coupla times and
see how 1t sounds when you aren't
quite so mad or glad as the case
may be.
Remember confidence is like a
chain letter. Everybody has just
one dear, dear, dearest friend
they tell everything to, and that S
the way it gets around SO fast!

across the desk and spoke IN q

she said, "but / just haven't It.

She walked sadly away.

Would there be any chance of

answered in the cold Indifferent
tone he always used to her these

never believe you now. So go
ahead and blab all you want to-.
Mary Rose knew that what she
said was the truth. 1t was too
late now to tell Sam or any one
else that it. had been FIossie's
vanity case that Mrs, Dexter had
found in her husbands car.
For the whole office had mulled
over the story so often that IT
had become ancient history to
them. It was a settled fact at
the Dexter Company that Mary
Rose Middleton had been "jazzing
around with Mr. Dexter and
that Mrs. Dexter had found it out
and raised particular Ned about
it!
And Flossie, the real culprit,
went unscathed.
On the 30th of October, the
office force OF the Dexter Com.
pany was to give Halloween
party-a masquerade.
Flossie, after long and deep
thought, had decided she would
be most fascinating IL she went
dressed as ballet dancer. For
weeks Mrs. Middleton had spent
most of the spare time ruffHng
yards and yards of pale pink cllif-
fon for the short, puffy skirt.
What kind OF costume are
you going to wear, Mary Rose?"
she asked the. girl two Of three
nights before the party, as the
two Of them sat under the lamp in
the back parIor.
Not to Mind
Mary Roses lip quivered. AT
twenty-five it is hard to give up
a party-especially that most in.
