prided herself on. her hands.
They were slim and white and
IL romantic like those famous
pale hands in the Indian Love
Lyric. The flesh on them was firm and
smooth like satin, the bones were sup
pie. To examine her hand closely was
to marvel at it's perfect workmanship.
The nails were ibert.shaped and faint
ly pink. AT her delicate wrist the
veins showed in n network of palest
blue.
OF course. Leila had been told over
and over again what beautiful hands
she had. SO that she was quite well
aware of their beauty. Sometimes at
her dressing table she would pause in
whatever she was doing TO watch fas-
cinatedly the graceful movement of
her fingers, and when she was ready
for the street she always took a long
time to draw on her gloves. which al
ways fitted perfectly and without the
slightest wrinkle.
Her beauty was not confined to her
hands. She had a long, oval face and
skin of a clear pallor. Her eyes were
gray blue. with long, very straight
lashes, and her hair, of a strange Gin
namon color. curled close to her head.
AS a matter of fact she would have
preferred straight hair so that she
could have had it marcelled fashion
ably. But after experimenting with it
she had discovered that by. having
it cut very short she was able to get
an effect that gave her head the ap.
pearance of Valasquez painting.
From this description it can readily
be seen that Leila was endowed with
more than her share of feminine
beauty. She was the kind of girl who
required a perfect setting, a rich
background. Those pale hands had
never done anything harder than to
WELD a powder puff. and yet as this
story starts we see her in the dark.
cherries bedroom Of a second.class
hotel.
She had just come in from the
street. The ugly little elevator rad
whirled her up to the sixth floor and
deposited her in dark corridor along
which she had proceeded to her room.
Under her arm she carried a bundle
of newspapers, and because it was
cold. she did not remove her coat
but threw herself into the one COM
Portable chair the room afforded and
turned hastily to the help wanted"
columns.
Help Wanted, Female" Her eyes
SKINNED down the long column.
Chambermaids. cooks, cleaning wom-
en-, candy clippers. clerks. Could she
be clerk?
Wanted. a young woman clerk
with some knowledge of tipping
Salary to start. STA
Fourteen dollars. Leila dropped
the paper a moment to reflect. Even
if she had a knowledge of tipping. she
could never live on $14. Her room at
this hotel cost $14 a week without
meals. OF course she couldn't stay
here, she would have to take a fur
nished room somewhere. But even
in a furnished room she could never
live on $14, it was impossible.
YEARLY she took up the paper
again and read on. There were
plenty of advertisements, the long
columns seemed endless. and vet the
only situations that paid any money
at all. even SO small an amount as
$50 week. required experience
Even the advertisements for factory

est of our homes. We can combine
articles that we have in such a way
that attention is attracted to the beau
tiful and the pleasing. We can study
effects so that harmony is gained.
We can make our rooms charming to
live in and joy to our friends when
they come to see us. An atmosphere
will then emanate from them and be
felt as keenly as If tangible.
Within Reach of All.
While it is true that money does
help to get such interiors. it is absurd
to say that it is money alone that does
it. If that We're so, more homes would
have this much-to-be desired atmos
phere. have felt it quite as decid-
eddy in some modest houses as in
some pretentious ones. Nor does
good taste account for 1t entirely.
Good taste Is evident in many homes
that lack this charm of accumulated
beauty shown not in period decora
ton, but in the combining of inter
esting things in a beautifying way.
Fortunately, those who wish can cul-
tivate a love for and an appreciation
of the best in furniture, furnishings
and objects dart by reading. or by
travel or by both, so that they know
what to look for and can pick up
things of interest wherever they are.

in the happy combining of interesting
furnishings, whether of intrinsic
worth or not, so that they add charm

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Left-Handedness.

Mrs. M. M. H. writes-'I would like
to ask few questions which seem
important to me. Ny boy is . years
old and has a strong tendency to use
his left hand and | am trying to break
him. | don't want him to be left
handed. Is it possible that / can do
this? In breaking child Of that age
should he be whipped a. little, or
taught in some other manner? Should
a child be given water in the night
If he asks FOR it?"
Answer-It seems to me a great mis-.
take to try and force naturally left
handed child to be right handed.
Whatever Quirk in his motor system
is responsible for this tendency it
does no good to try and disturb it..
but merely makes the child awkward
and 1t has been said, though | do
not know il there is truth In it, that
IT leads to stammering. IT would he
better to teach the child to be ambi.
dextrous, and use both hands well
than to stop the use Of his left hand
when he is evidently much better
fitted to use this than the right one.
If by breaking" you mean this
habit. one cannot possibly see any con.
nection between whipping and the
use Of either hand and surely one
hand by spanking him when he didn't.
The No. leafet gives methods Of
training n child to cleanly habits,
which may be exactly what you want
Why not leave a small thermos
bottle Of cool water by the child
crib and let him help himself to a
drink when he wants 1t in the night?
He would feel himself quite grown
up, I am sure.
Stammering.
Mrs. =. S.-The cure of stammering
lies both in training to talk slowly
and think before speaking. and in dis
covering what nervous shock set up
the stammering in the first place.
Sometimes a fright: fear of an older
person or older children; terror of
school work; an illness or fright due
to some animal. are the initial expert
ences which result in stammerinG. If
any one can seek out this cause and
eliminate it by seeing that there is
no repetition; that the annoying per-
sons are removed from the child's life,
and by helpful training and not scold-
ing, teasing or nagging, the child may
be entirely cured Of the habit.

must be plain and vice versa. And if
either is used upholstery fabrics must
be selected with care or the effect will
be confusing.
Checked fabrics. however. can be
used very successfully in the same
room with formally patterned or flow
cred fabrics.
It is noticeable here that there is no
conflict between the rather snowy pat
tern of the toile de jouy in which the
French chair is upholstered and the
large checks of the Bingham which
covers the screen. The Bingham is
green and white. while the toile has a
cream background and is printed in
crimson The effect is both gay and
refreshing.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Profes-
sional operators launched another
drive on the principal industrials
today, relying on nervousness over
the money situation to bring out
stocks for covering purposes.
Reports were widespread in spec
ulative circles regarding the immi-
nence of increases in the bank rate
at regional centers like Boston and
Philadelphia. Apprehension on this
score was heightened by heavy call
ing Of Wall Street loans, which
caused the charge for demand Dor
rowings to stiffen to per cent af-
ter renewals had been arranged at

from the speculative market was
in progress interest working for low

success and new lows on the move

ting and other pivotal issues of the

But after the liquidation orig
mating from this source had been
completed, offerings lightened sub
stantiallly in volume, a situation
which induced active short covering
in the afternoon, bringing about
good-sized recoveries in stocks on
which earlier selling had converged.
Throughout the flurries in the in
dustrial department rails maintained
a confident tone, rejecting steady
accumulation.
