CHAPTER XLIlI.
Fritzie Loses Out.

SATURDAY and Sunday at the Malt
hys were two of the incest days Mona
ever remembered and certainly she
had never been more beaut1ful. w hen
she descended to breakfast on the
morning following her decision, In
white pleated sport skirt and violet
sweater, she was radiant. NOT even
F'ritzie's youth could compare WIN
Mona S exotic loneliness. She was ike
a rose that has just come to maturity,
and If F'ritzie had had her triumph the
night before, Mona certainly en-
loved hers that morning.
Ronny sat beside her in the sun
filled dining room, and Mona was con
scious from time to time of Ffitzle
dark eyes upon them. They wore a
puzzled look as though the girl could
not understand Ronny's desertion OF
her. FritZie had looked over the men
of the party and had decided that
Ronny was the most attractive. She
hadn't the least idea but that she
could have him for her own during
the three days of the house party:
No man was ever able to Withstand
her charms for long and yet this
morning Ronny had eyes for no one
but Mona.
Fritzie hadn't thought much Of
MO0a the IuSHl hCi''N'
pretty, of course. but not young. All
men foxed youth. And yet, this morn
ing. Mrs. Kingsley seemed young,
and certainly she was beautiful.
F'ritzie had never seen such beauty;
it was positively breath-taking.
After breakfast. FritZie tried once
more to annex Ronny
You look as If you played golf. DO
you?"
Ronny nodded. He was on his way
out to the garage to get his car and
was in n hurry. Mona had promised
to go driving with him..
Lets have a game. shall We?
The points of dark hair swung
against her dusky cheeks, her eyes
had little diamond lights In them
Looking T her. Ronny had to admit
that the girl was adorable. He would

SUB ROSA
Good. Looking Husband.

It's not really all your fault. girls
that your choices Of husbands are
sometimes so unfortunate. Strangely
enough, the blame may be laid on the
shoulders of older, wiser people. For
there is almost a system of education
today, whereby we girls are taught
literally taught-that we must strive
to marry a tall. handsome prince
charming.
Perhaps nowhere else in the world
is there such love of physical beauty
as in this country. Our beautiful
actresses are worshiped by thou
81 nds-primarily because they're SO
pleasing to the eye.
We're often inclined to judge all our
friends by their looks. We say of
Sally: She is a perfect peach. but oh
isn't it too bad that she's so homely?"
We remark concerning Janet: Yes,
of course. she has a dreadful dis
position. and you can't trust her for
minute. But she's so perfectly
beautiful it's pleasure to he with
her
And all this plants in our hearts the
desire to be pretty ourselves-the de-
sire to 60 with attractive people, to
marry handsome man.
A girl may consent to go out often
with a boy because he's such good
sort-because he dances perfectly
because he can keep her amused all
evening long with his line-but secret
ly she's wishing half the time that his
nose wasn't quite so snub, that his
freckles weren't quite so Bfominent--
that some kind Providence had be-
slowed just average good looks on
him.
Eloise admits that she has the most
wonderful time with Carl whenever he
takes her out. She chats and jokes
and laughs continuously--enjoy her
self thoroughly-until she happens to
see one of her girl friends with
Dudley.
The minute ] see Dudley. just

He's SO tall and stunning and won
derful in every way. Why can't l get
A man like that? Why do have to
run around with small men who
haven't a feature you could even call
pa Ssable?"
wonder if Eloise is really as
heauty-craZy as all that. wonder
whether she just doesn't think she's
being cheated out of something by not
having a good looking man?
Perhaps If 1t hadn't been SO care
fully drilled into her by novels and
movies. and even an anxious mother.
that masculine good looks are most
desirable. she wouldn't he worrying
her head over Carl's ugliness.
There Is no intention of warning
you against marriages with good
looking men. But-are you sure
you're in love with him because he's
70 handsome? Are you certain that
you're not determined to marry him
Just because he fills all the require
ments?
Perhaps If you could get over the
idea that your husban must be good
looking. you might find more lasting
happiness with some one more con-
genial, whose lack of beauty has
always made you ignore him.

Clues to Character
Attraction for Occultism.
BY J. O. ABERNETHY.

Persons who are interested and seek
mysterious doctrines have a certain
shape of face. Did YOU ever see per-
son with a heart shaped face? You
will find many Of them. The point Of
the heart is downward where the chin
is located. 1t tapers from broad top
to a sharp point. The upper part Of
the side head tends to bulge, which
gives it the heartlike shape
An excessive development Of the
faculties Of reverence. mystery. sym.
pathy and imitation. which are
grouped on each side of the front top
head, gives prominence to these re-
gions and the heart -sha ped appear
arce to the features.
Mystery. particularly along the lines
Of religion or metaphysical teachings,
has a great attraction for the type.
They are spiritually minded. mystical
or psychic in their mental or emo
tional natures.
Extreme development of these facul-
ties Of mystery, reverence and sym.
pathy will lead them to accept all
kinds of "isms" and "osophies." They
are attracted toward psychology and
psychic phenomena. They incline to-
ward spiritualsm and the life beyond.
They generally are intuitive and
have a sort OF sixth sense, and often
run hither and thither after strange
teachings and teachers.
