times standing in water that swirled
close to the tops of his boots.
A guide was close at his side
giving Inn advice both on how to
handle his fish and how to keep his
balance, but Mr.. Coolidge maneu-
vered carefully and skillfully and
avoided the wetting that awaited
him had he slipped. A dozen trout
was the presidents reward for his
hard tramp.
James A, Sheffield, American am
bassador to Mexico. is not expected
to visit White Pine camp until he
completes sojourn at Atlantic City.
Mr.. Coolidge, it was said at the ex-
ecutive offices yesterday, wants to
see Mr.. Sheffield and hear his views
of the present situation in Mexico.
The ambassador, in the presidents
opinion has made an excellent record
at the Mexican capital, having
handled a difficult situation with
skill and discretion, and any repre-
sensations he might make regard
ing the policy of the United States
toward her sister republic would
have great weight with Mr.. Coolidge.
Although President Coolidge has
not read the magazine article by
Professor William z. Ripley of Har-
ward, in which the author advocates
action by the federal trade commits
sion to protect investors holding
non-voting stocks, 1t was said that
Mr.. Coolidge thought remedies were
rest obtained in laws of the states
in which the businesses concerned
were incorporated. The best and
most adequate protection of securi-
ty holders. it was said, would have
to be effected through the passage
of state laws rather than federal
laws, Any jurisdiction the federal
trade commission has over finances,
it was added, must be beneficial to
the interests of interstate commerce.

''Tery well then . feel around

other ball set on top of IL. It's little
ball full of mercury. attached to the
big ball by u long elastic through the
center. That elastic is supposed to be
your body. Is that all quite clear Mrs.
Crane?"
Helen nodded, "Well then, you know
that mercury always rolls with the
slightest movement, especsially If 1t
is inclosed in a ball. This mercury
in your head can't keep still; it begins
to roll around with 1t. From side to
side it goes, and finally all the way
around. That Is what Is called the

Helen found it most difficult to
imagine her head q ball. She hadn't
as YOU we'll know, given much rein
to her imagination. But at last thai
feat was accomplished. She actually
felt that her head was ball and her
body an elastic dragged around by
the weight of the mercury inside. That

Relaxation a Beauty Aid

With the years comes Il slowing up
of the muscular activity. until the
body resents any unusual strain that
is put upon it. That was about the
first thing Helen heard the morning

relaxing and then controlling every
single part of the body. keeping every
muscle in perfect coordination with
every other" said the instructor. 1T

CHAPTER XII.
A Quarrel,

That night Helena and John had
their first open quarrel. 1t happen
ed inadvertently, too. because Helena
had had no idea of precipitating it.
But, woman-like, she couldn't help
mentioning the flowers he had sent to
Mrs. Price. If they had been just or
dinary She wouldn't have thought a
thing about it. But American Beau
ties, three dozen, with stems a yard
long. And Mrs. Price had raved over
them before the others.
Johns lips tensed and his eyes mar
rowed.
What difference does it make if
can afford It? l don't think the cost
Of the thing has anything to do with
It,
"It doesn't. dear, and l suppose I'm
wrong. But I couldn't help feeling
that 1t wasn't quite good taste"
John shrugged.
"I don't know what constitutes good
taste in your mind. but I'm sorry II
I've violated any of your sensibilittes.
! like Mrs. Price and l see no reason
why my flowers were not appropri-
ate
MY flowers lie hadn't said
ours So it was his personal offer
ing to Mrs Price: He had sent them
because he liked her so much.
Tears Of self-pity rose to Helena s
eyes and her mouth trembled. Before
she knew it they We're running down
her cheeks, and she was furious with
herself. Furious for showing John that
she cared that much. And Of course
ne would think she was jealous.

What Good Does It Doc

Revenge Is sweet-that's what we
all read at some time or other, and
a lot OF US have taken the saying to
heart.
Yet if the truth be known revenge
ia seldom sweet. Usually it's just as
hard on the avenger as the wrong
doer who is punished because OF his
misdeeds.
When a girl gets an unpleasant
shock from the youth with whom
she's in love, her first impulse is
"Oh, so that's the way he's going to
act, Is It? Well. I'll fix him. III
make him wish he'd never been born.
He'll learn that he can't pull any
thing like that on me. Just wait.
Forthwith she constructs dark
plot-a plot In which she throws him
down completely, makes fool OF
him. disappoints him just when he's
expecting her to be incest to him.
She arranges the details Of her re-
venge, carefully. determined that
there shall be no slip-up-no escape
for the wretch who has dared to be
rude to her, or unfaithful to her. And
on the appointed day at the ap-
pointed time. she springs her un'
pleasant surprise on her victim.
she enjoys his disappointment. his
modification, his chagrin. while she
tells him what she has done and why
she has done It.
Peraps, she revels in the confusion
she's nade-in the way she's de-
stroyed his peace Of mind, and made
him miserable by refusing ever to
see him again. But it's all over in
80 short time. Her five minutes OF
sweet triumph vanish.
The punished wrongdoer sinks
away with her final command ring
Ing in his ears, Don't ever speak to
me again. l don't want to see you
again in my whole life." and the
righteously indignant maiden Is left
alone.
what has she now to be happy
over? If she really loves the man she
sent away SO dramatically after hav-
ing punished him so cruelty. she
must long to take him back. and tell
him she didn't mean a word OF it..
She must wish that she could make
amends for the nasty blow she just
gave him.
Yet she can do none Of these things.
Her pride won't let her. There is
nothing for her to do but wait-and
that's a hard occupation for an
anxious girl, who's uncertain as to
whether she will ever see her man
again.
She must wait and worry and suf-
fer. just as she made the man suffer
She must do this because she chose
to indulge in that most brief and
f1eeting OF pleasures-revenge.
It's temptation to do something
nasty to him because he did some
thing nasty to you, but If you'll stop
and figure out how much enjoyment
per square inch YOU get out of aveng-
ing yourself. you'll realize that there's
nothing In this revenge stuff
Far better to go to him. talk to him
plainly. demand an apology, etc.
than to retire In cold fury to think
up an elaborate scheme of revenge
which may wreck your happiness for
ever.
II he has been mean, give him a
few Of the hard, cold truths about
himself. which you have saved up for
him-that may clear the air. But
don't mediate deeds Of vengeance
What good will 1t do. in the end?

apparently been SO we'll content with

without qualification that black is by
far the smartest hue Of the season.
Especially brilliant and lovely are
the new black evening frocks. There
Is never anything dead or dreary
about them, despite their dark hue.
The luxlriousuess of the fabric or the
touch of color or the gleam of sequins
or beads makes them even more re-
splendent than frocks of color.
At one of the Smartest of recent
weddings where the bridesmaids
wore gowns of velvet the color of bit

black. black frocks, black coats, black
