BEAUTY CHATS
Well Polished Nails.

If you have plenty of time to devote
to your finger nails you should polish
them by using a buffer and a little
polishing paste or powder. A thor
ough polishing of this sort twice a
week should be enough, If in between
times you rub up the nails bit with
a clean chamoiS-covered polisher. But
if you haven't much time you had bet.
ter get any one of the numerous
enamel polishes on the market and
use it. The point is that the nails
must have considerable gloss to look
we'll.
There are one or two points you
must be careful about. If you use a
polishing powder you must scrub the
nails with soap and warm water and a
nail brush to get off all this powder.
Then, after the hands are dry, go
over them quickly with the clean
channels or clean buffer and the bril-
liant polish will return at once. The
polishing powder is very drying, and
should not get into the tender cuticle
around the nails.
If you use a liquid polish be sure
first that each nail is smooth and
clean. 1t usually takes two coats of
the enamel to give really attractive
gloss, but the first one should be put
only over the center part Of the nail,
leaving the moon" at the top and
the white tip perfectly free. The sec.
ond coat is put all over the nail. The
point is that two coats give a great
deal Of pink color to the nails, single
coat hardly any, and you want the tip
of the nail and the moon" to be as
white as possible.

By this time the can was out where
the wind could get it. and the wind
was pushing it farther and farther
into the river. There were little
waves out there and these waves
made the can bob up and down. OF
course, Danny bobbed up and down
with the old can. He had the feeling
that the bottom had dropped out of
his stomach. l suppose it really was
a sort of seasick feeling. Anyway, it
made him quite satisfied to do
nothing.
There was a current out in the mid

that was all he could ask.

If just before stepping into the tub
you swish your hand across the bot
tom of the tub, such misfortune can
be avoided. You feel the bit of soap
and take it out, or stir the salts about
until they are dissolved entirely.
Some persons put a wee rubber mat
into a bathtub and step on to that
as safeguard against falling. Any
of these precautions are helpful.
Grab Rails.
In many a bathroom there is
stout porcelain rod attached to the
wall above a tub. This is called
grab rail- 1t is put there to assist
persons to get out Of tubs more easily.
1t is well to use it when getting into
the tub also. Keep a firm hold until
you are seated in the tub, or until you
are standing firmly on the bath mat
as you get out. If there is no grab
rail, take hold of the sides of the tub,
and keep hold until you step out
onto the bath mat.
Bath Salts and Soaps.
Most of the falls people get in bath
tubs could be averted, and SO it seems
doubtly regrettable that they should
happen. 1t often takes weeks to get
over such a painful accident, so take
precautions. Get the full enjoyment
Of the bath. There are sweet scented
bath salts that are beneficial and pleas
ant to use in the water, and soaps in
variety to suit different skins and
personal preferences in perfumes,
making them fragrant.

CHAPTER XXXIX.
Jimmy's News.

The first thought that flashed
across Betty's mind vas of the near
approach Of June and its significance.
1t buoyed her up. made her forget all
about the fact that she had been so
weary. 1t was going to end now, all
this mad scramble to make living.
Jimmy was going to tell her that at
last he was ready. that they were to
be married, and soon. She wouldn't
even have to tell him how her nerves
were going back on her because her
cases would soon be a thing of the
past. 1t was so gorgeous that 1t was
almost beyond believing.
It wasn't until they were in an open
taxi, riding through the park, that
Jimmy at last turned to her. His face
was glowing, ardent, and she met his
look. Betty's eyes were radiant.
Darling Jimmy! He was going to ask
her to be his wife. After all these
days he was going to set the date,
which meant that soon she would be
with him always.
Il hope you'll be as excited as
am" he began. I've been crazy to
tell you. but when 1 came in tonight
you seemed so tired that l just
couldn't do it,
Betty's brows. This was a strange
opening for what she had been ex-
pecting Could it be that she had
been wrong about what he had to tell
her? 1t hardly seemed possible. and
yet-and yet"
I'm going abroad" Jimmy was
saying eagerly, next week! l hope
you won't think me selfish, dearest
but it means a lot for both of us.
| It's a big deal 1 expect to Tut over.
Arrowsmith is in on 1t. but he can't
| leave his business just now. I'm the
| logical person to go. because I'm not
actually tied in any way. We're prac-
| tically sure that this is a good thing,
which means. of. course, that as soon
! as 1 return we'll get married"
1t seemed to Betty that his words
were coming to her from great dis
tance. AS they drove slowly through
the three lined thoroughfares of the
, park. her sense of vision seemed
blurred. What was Jimmy saying?
Something about going abroad? He
was planning to leave her. He was
| the logical person to go because he
was not actually tied in any way Oh,
no. She couldn't have heard Alright.
1t wasn't possible. They were going
to be married in June. Jimmy had said
| it was practically certain. Had he
| forgotten that New Years Eve in the
| taxi when he had mentioned it? And
how could she live through the hot
| Summer monthS-alone?
What is it, darling? he was say
| ing. You're so quiet. You love me
enough to want me to do this. don T
you? l thought you'd be thrilled, ex-
cited. 1t means more than you real
ize. 1t means that next year this
time instead of driving in taxi you'll
have your own car. That's worth wait
ing for, isn't it? Why jeopardize the
future by not taking a chance on the
| present? I'm out for a big killing
and I've got to make it,
Betty visualized the Summer. The
long hot days and the still hotter
nights, with no Jimmy. Nothing to

My Neighbor Says:

Add half a cupful of vinegar
to half a pint of water, wiring a
large clean cloth out of this
and go over your carpet with
wide strokes. You will be
greatly pleased with the i'm
provement in the color.
A good substitute for a knob
lost from a teakettle or pot lid
may be made by inserting a
small corkscrew from the under
side and screWing a clean cork
on top.
One way to utilize old table
linen is for drying lettuce leaves.
Make a bag about half a yard
square, sewing up three sides.
and, after washing the lettuce
leaves, drop them in the bag,
shake lightly and then leave
them a few moments. Nearly
all the moisture from the leaves
will have been absorbed.
Sandpaper is excellent for
cleaning pots and pans. Keep
a piece over the sink.
1t is advisable to purchase
your household linens and cot
tons of standard makes and you
will be more assured of their
wearing qualities.
When making turnback cuffs
for a mans shirt, sew the small
est sized snap on the cuff about
one inch from the edge and at
the proper place on the sleeve,
and you will find this quite a
time saver. The cuff will not
have to be tackled after each
laundering.

Mountains and Man.

There are beliefs concerning noun
tains and their effect on man that
have been current since primitive
times. Many people believe that
mountains make for great-souled peo-
pie and for broad viewpoints, yet there
are no more of such Natures noble
men, in Switzerland than anywhere
else, and the Tibetans are very blgot-
ed and exclusive, though they live on
the roof of the world" Another be-
lief, more scientifically entertained, is
that weak hearts, narrow chestedness
and tendency to develop pneumonia
characterize people living at great
elevations. This is true of the white
population of La PaZ, where one child
in every three dies soon after birth;
but the Quichua and Aymara Indians.
who live even higher in the Andes,
have fine physiques.
Now what do you know about that!

while bathing he noticed that his body

3. Thomas Huxley. VIXEN ridiculed
by Archbishop Wilburforce in q de-
bate for his evolutionary beliefs, said
he would rather be descended from
an ape than from a man who tried to
obscure the truth by appeals to preju-
dice.
4. Darwfn's friend Wallace con-
ceived, independently, a theory of
evolution substantially the same as
Darwin's; in correspondence they dis
covered this and published their
theory together, but the greater
share of credit has rightly gone to
Darwin.
5. Gregor Mendel was great stu
dent of heredity, who died in obscur-
ity so years before his work was dis
covered by modern science.
6. Charles Darwin was the grand
son of Erasmus Darwin, an eccentric
and sentimental naturalist, who never
theless had a certain streak of genius.
Darwin's sons distinguished them
selves in biology; his daughter mar
ried Francis Galton, who became an
eminent geneticist.

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
SATURDAY. Half-Holiday.

1t seems but few years ago THAI
working hours were from to s. six
days a week. Certainly the Saturday
half holiday is a comparatively re
cent innovation, we think, if the mat
ter of its origin comes, up at all.
AS a matter of fact. however, II
was an innovation hundreds of years
ago, when the English King, Edgar
in an effort to still the dissatisfaction
of the peasants, ordered that there
should be a cessation Of labor from
Saturday midday until sunrise Mon
day.
A similar order was issued by Viii
liam of Scotland in the year 1908
while the order Of Canute. Let every
Sunday be kept from Saturday s
noon to Mondays dawn" is still or
Great Britain'S statute books!
So what we are pleased to consider
a progressive innovation was really
but revival of an industrial improve
ment of centuries ago.

to see that none gets under the cuti-
Gle. 1t might really be harmful then
If it gets over your skin that's an
other matter. The oil in your skin

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
A Difficult Question.

Mrs. l.. L.-There is nothing so
futile and yet SO natural as to wonder
and wonder after the death of ones
baby if anything could have been
done to prevent it. Dear lady, this is
one of the things which one should
steadfastly shut ones mind to. 1t Is
over. The past is irrevocable. Moth
ing can after it. 1 am sure that know
ing whether the disease which took
your baby was result of his nearly
drowning or came on afterWard would
not assuage the pain in your heart,
nor bring back the dear little boy. It
is sensible to face the future and not
break ones heart over the past.
Mrs. J. Y. S.-Please tell your doc
tor what you have told me. This is
not at all natural and needs medical
attention now.
Mrs. S. N. P.-There is certainly
something abnormal in the child's de-
velopment when he refuses to stand
up or walk at 2 years of age. AS you
are doing all you can in the way of
diet and codliver Oil and other aids
to the cure of ricketts,, it would be
better to realize that he needs more
help than you can give him. Take
him to a doctor and have him ex-
amined. You may find some con-
genital reason for his inability to
stand alone.
Mrs w. f. H.-A baby weighing
pounds at birth would likely, if all
went well, weigh about pounds at l
month (allowing some 10 days to get
back to his initial birth weight. At
the end of two months he would prob
ably weigh about 91a pounds. From
this you can figure out about how far
he is from average now. Your formula
is very large in quantity. Five ounces
at time for a baby of weeks is ex-
cessive. 1t is always wise for so
young a child to have your physician
figure you a correct formula, so that
he can personally advise you if any
thing goes wrong. l am sure over
feeding is the cause of the childs rest.

Glazed Carrots.

Young, tender carrots are most de-
licious prepared in this way: Scrape,
and cut in halves if large. If very
small, leave whole. Boil until tender.
then drain and place in a baking pan
with a heaping tablespoonful of but
ter. Sprinkle with salt, pepper pa
prika and a little sugar to induce
browning Bake for about 20 minutes.
When boiling the carrots, it will be
we'll to prepare a sufficient quantity
of them to furnish a salad for the
next days dinner. For this they may
be mixed with green peas, string
beans, lima beans, or used alone as
one desires. The combination makes
a. very pretty, colorful salad and
should be dressed with plain French
dressing.

mixture, mix thoroughly, then beat
in one can of fresh cocoanut with the
milk. Pour into a we'll creased bread
pan and let stand for 20 minutes.
Bake in a moderate oven for so min
utes. This is an excellent bread for
sandwiches. 1t will be better in flavor

Giles.
They sounded cruel. Danny didn't
like the sound Of those shifts at all.
But it was only her nose that that
cat could get in at that opening. and
20 those shifts were quite harmless.
Then she tried to get her paw in.
Danny could hear her sharp claws
scratching on the tin. and they didn't
make him feel any more comfortable.
He knew just what that cat was try
ing to do. He knew that that cat
hoped to get her claws into him and
pull him out. But that cat was what
is called a double paved cat. She
had two extra toes on each front
paw, and, of course, that made her
front feet extra big. She couldn't
get her paw into the can.
Presently that cat lost her temper.
There is nothing more foolish in all
the Great World than to lose ones
temper but almost every one does 1t,
and this cat did 1t now. She struck
that can with her paw. She knocked
Il this way and she knocked it that
way, Poor Danny was rolled over
and over, now on his head, now on
his back. now right side up and now
wrong side up. Finally the can
landed on the edge of the bank. Once
more the cat struck at it. This time
1t rolled down the bank and landed
splash in the water.
Now, for once, Danny Meadow
Mouse was really lucky. When that
can landed in the water, II landed
right side UP. and it floated. OF
course. Danny inside couldn't see just
what had happened. but it didn't
take him long to find out that he was
afoat. He heard the splash as the
can hit the water. Then he began
