The Next Morning.

her breakfast in bed, and was usually

Myra smiled, and after a moment
Sally smiled back.

was changed.
There was silence between them
Myra was proceeding warily. Then
she spoke again.
Are you feeling better?"
I'm all right
Myra propped herself up on one
elbow. Sally. darling. let's have this
thing over and done with. I'm sick
of it. / thought a great deal last
night and most Of the things you said
about me are true. I'm going back
to Bill. Not only that, but I'm going
to try being a regular wife for

Silently. Sally admitted that fact.
She had drifted. The world had been

where impossible things happened.
A knock at the door startled both
girls. The stewards voice spoke: s
"A note for Mrs. Bates"
Sally shivered. 1t was like receiving
a note from some one you had thought
dead How awful
1t was Myra who threw a negligee
around her and went to the door. 1t
was Myra who in silence handed her
the square envelope.
Sally seized it eagerly. hesitated for
long moment, and then, as if delib.
erately making up her mind, got out
of bed, felt almost blindly for her
mules, and walked over to the open
portfolio.
The sun was bright on the sea.
There were small waves, white and
frothy. The day would be hot.
Her eyes returned to the square en-
velope in her hands-and then quietly
and deliberately she tore it across,
once-and then again. A sob rose in
her as she threw it out of the port.

When she returned to her berth.
Myra was speaking very practically
to the stewardess. She was ordering
breakfast for two.
1t was the first time Sally mad eaten
breakfast in her cabin and it was the
first time during their trip that Mvra
had shown so much ambition. Now
she was making a lot of excitement.
Sire was ordering hot baths for both
of them and she was flying around in
a gorgeous negligee.
Some of Sally's former alteration of
Myra returned as she watched her
sister. Once more she was leaning
on her, relying on her for judgment.
She felt stirring of the feeling she
had known in the days before their
sailing. 1t was a relief to have some
one else think for her.
In daze she gathered her clothes
together and went to have her bath

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Christening the Days.

TO many Of us the information will
he new that our days We're named
originally to honor the pagan gods of
thousands of years ago.
Sunday recalls to our minds the
days when people Worshiped the sun
and the sun god was thought to be
all powerful.
Monday was named after the moon,
perhaps lest it feel sighted, consider
ing the honor bestowed upon the sun.
Tuesday was so called to please Twi
the war god of the Saxons. The
French know this day as Mardi, and
have so named it after Mars, the Ro.
man god of war.
Wednesday was named after Wooden,
chief of the gods of the Saxon people.
Thursday is for the thunder god
Thor, favorite of our schoolday my
thology.
Friday is so called for Frig, the wife
of the god Wooden.
And Saturday owes its name to Sat
urn, the great god of the Romans.

skin. 1t is natural for some people
to have redder skins than others
have, but, of course, the treatment
you give your complexion may either
relieve or aggravate the trouble. If,
however. you expect to find cream
or lotion that will give YOU a lily
white skin. you are doomed to dis
appointment. The redness may be due
to overindulSence in rich foods and
stimulating beverages; if you are over
weight, this is probably the cause of
the condition. You need a simple,
wholesome diet and plenty of outdoor
exercise to stimulate the circulation
so that the blood will not stagnate
in the distended little capiilaries on
nose and cheeks. Before going out
doors, however. be careful to protect
your skin with a powder base and
face powder. Wind and sun make
the face red. 1t is particularly impor-
tant to protect your skin when you go
motoring. On coming indoors do not
wash your face, but cleanse it first
with cold cream. Wipe off the CRIME
and cream before using mild soap
and soft water on your skin. After
drying your face pat on a lotion made
of equal parts Of rosewater and
glycerin. LOIS LEEDS.

Little Sylvia.

isn't she SWEET" raved Grace to
the other girls who reclined in low
chairs ON the club yeranda. Hon
estly, / think that kid is the prettiest
thing in this town
oh, don't be ridiculous, Grace, -
Enid spoke up pettishly. 'Sylvia's a
perfect baby, and Of course, she looks
rather cute because she's SO young.
STILL it silly TO say that she's any
where near the prettiest girl in town.
She's a baby"
The other girls, beholding Sylvia as
she came up from game of tennis,
were inclined to agree with Grace.
Sylvia was lovely-and very, very
young. She was really not in the
same set with Enid and Grace and the
rest. She went with their younger
sisters. But her good rocks Tnade
her stand out from every one else
that and her charming personality.
The slider girls lazily commended
her when she began TO step out with
boys much older than herself. They
told each other that she was a clever
kid, and smiled at her good naturedly.
Enid, alone, refused to consider
Sylvia as any one of Importance. She
laughed at her, sneered at her, and
snubbed her whenever possible.
People We're at first astonished at
Ends vehemence. Then gradually
| they understood. For poor old Enid
| was fading fast. She wasn't what she
| used to be, by a long shot. And
| Sylvia's bright, pink and white pret-
tiness eXasperated her--caused her
| uneasiness.
! Jerry. you see, was Enid's one sure
! bet, and Jerry was beginning to cast
| eyes toward the lovely child who was
| attracting so much attention.
! In the logical course of events, ENID
| would have died rather than admit to
a single soul that she was jealous OF
| the baby Sylvia" She would have
| suffered torture rather than let any
| one know that she was envious OF
| Sylvias blond youthful beauty. Yet
| she gave herself away IS times per
| diem with her cattiness to the little
| girl
When she thought herself to be
putting Sylvia in her place, she was
| merely demonstrating to her friends
| exactly how much Sylvia frightened
! her.
Instead of lowering Sylvia in the
| esteem of others, she was raising the
| child to a position of importance in
| every ones thoughts.
| Her determined campaign to snub
| the youngster gave every one a clear
| idea of how worried she was about
| Jerry.
In other words, Enid was simply
letting the whole world into her
secret-When she wanted above all
things to hide it away in her heart.
There is absolutely no use in trying
TO snub the girl you fear. 1t will ONLY
make you a laughing stock to YOUR
trlends-and make her a person o.
Importance to all those who know Won

Special Stuffed Peppers.

If you like mild flavor in peppers,
parbOil them from one to two minutes
before they are cut in halves length-
wise. Remove only the stem portion,
drawing out the seeds. Fill well to
allow for shrinkage in cooking six
green peppers. For the filling you
will need four cupfuls of dry bread
crumbs, two to four tablespoonfuls of
melted butter one-fourth tablespoon
ful of salt. a little pepper, onion juice
if liked and some chopped meat or
vegetables. If you have meat left over
from yesterdays roast, or any stuff
ing, gravy or vegetables. use them in
the filling. Chop or grind the meat.
II you have no leftover vegetables,
use a little freshly cooked corn or
tomatoes, or both. Combine the other
ingredients with the buttered bread
crumbs, fill the peppers and put them
in a pan whicll.contains little water.
Place bit of butter on each pepper
