CHAPTER XIX.
Mark Considers.

"Maude. have you suddenly gone
mad"
She shook her head. There was
something infinitely pathetic about
her wrinkled face with the tears
scarcely dry on it.

wild plan to you, but if you'll think

such a thing could be done, look at
the responsibility you put upon me-

responsibility, certainly never

But IL it's to save Jessica from

Mark had sudden vision Of Ray

ferry.
Then he remembered her light
scorn, her sarcastic words about his
fowery oratory. 1t would do her good
to teach her lesson. But how was
he to accomplish such thing, even
If he were willing to undertake it?
Maude didn't appreciate the difficult
ties. Why, the mechanical part of it
alone presented a problem. How was
he to kidnap a 20-year-old girl, and
where on earth was he to take her?
AS he reached this point in his
thoughts ne realized suddenly that he
was actually considering Maude's plan.
He was mad, too. They were both ut
terly crazy. And yet, even though it
sounded like the naddest thing that
had ever been invented, Maude was
right about one thing. 1t had occurred
to him that If he could get her away
somewhere she might come to her
senses, and he had told Maude so. He
was convinced. too. that it was their
last chance. Unless something def
mite happened, Jessica would certainly
marry Raymond Townley.

my sake?" Maude was saying tremu-

and modern stuff Jessica is really

What about his own plans? What
about his romance with Irene Martin?
And how much longer was he to be
compelled to dance attendance on the
whims of crazy girl who didn't know
her own mind? He was crazy to get
away. He wanted to settle things be-
tween Irene and himself And then he
suddenly remembered Martin Bartlett,
his old friend, and Jessica at 10 in
somber mourning, with a pale little
face and eyes that were too big,
His irritation vanished He did not
even speak to Maude about what had
been going on in his mind.
But If he did not mention his own
plans, he didn't actually accept her
crazy idea. He merely said he would
think it over. He didn't see how he
could promise her to carry out the
idea. 1t was improbable, fantastic.

Popularity.

There is an important point for you
to decide before you start out in the
struggle for popularity.
Don't just breeze ahead blindly
with the idea that anything you get
in the way of social success will make
you wildly happy.
For you may be the sort of girl who
needs one sort of popularity and
heartily detests another.
You may be a girl like Penelope, for
instance. Pen had a rocky time get
ting started. She went to a good
school and met lot of nice boys, but
she didn't attract them.
Wildly anxious not to miss any
thing, she struggled desperately for
what she thought constituted her life
happiness.
Finally she succeeded in getting her
self asked to dances, in collecting q
small group Of friends who dropped in
to spend evenings with her, took her
to the movies, and generally showed
her a pretty good time.
Most of the boys whom she had
succeeded in attracting finally were
just drifting kids who wanted to be
seen out with a fairly popular girl.
They talked of little but dance
nings at Pens house gave her no joy,
for they bored her terribly.
Yet they furnished popularity and
she craved that. 1t was important to
her.
She honestly believed that she was
having the deuce Of a good time, al
though she longed passionately to give
up the dull evenings with uncongenial
friends.
Then came severe illness, and when
Pen found herself restored to health
she was also aware of a decrease in
the number of her admirers.
They had drifted on to some one
else-just forgotten about her. At
first she was miserable.
No one called up any more, no one
asked her to dance. She was failure.
1t was about this time that she
made friends with an older man, a
quiet chap, who didn't know how to
dance, nor did he crave her society
very often.
But she liked him awfullx, and
found certain pleasure in the coca
sional calls he made on her.
, He brought a friend one evening,
and me friend liked his hostess, SO
he came again.
Gradually Pen found that she was
acquiring a whole new circle of
friends, some of whom asked her to
go out to a. theater or a dance, but
none of whom kept her in continual
round of gayety.
Yet she was happy.
Many of her friends were in con
slant whirl of gayety, yet she did not
envy them, She had found the popu'
larity which brought her real happi-
ness the popularity which meant
good friends. really fond of her.
Other girls might have wished Tor
inst the transient. butterfly type OF
| happiness; many of you may be made
for Just that sort of popularity. But
Pen and her kind would do better to
try to collect the few good friends who
will remain loyal and true through
the year
only in this way can some girls
achieve their real social success.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Tuesday, January %.

According to astrology, benefic as
poets dominate tomorrow, which
should be favorable for all sorts Of
business transactions.
There Is sign Of promise for new
discovery of fuel deposits. while
chemistry will find new forms in
which to use them.
Commerce continues under a direc-
ton of the stars, which indicates
amazing development for the United
States.
Bankers and financiers will benefit
from world conditions, which are to
be startling in their far-reaching sig
nificance, the seers prophesy.
Under this rule, judges and lawyers
should find their profession exceed
ingly lucrative. for there will be an
unusual amount of litigation this year.
New fashions are to set certain
factories going in the Spring, when
there will be large profits in certain
lines of wearing apparel, 1t is forecast.
Business enterprise Is to reach
amazing development not hitherto
dreamed of, even by Americans. II the
stars are rightly read.
This is not an suspicious day for
entering into any sort of business con.
tract and leases may prove exceed.
ingly unlucky.
Writer'S are to have numerous
temptations to publish foolish tales,
and the sway appears to presage
extraordinary amounts OF trash in the
coming year.
Many radical changes in the produc-
ton of motion pictures again are prog
nosticated, and there will be tnterna-
tional problems az a result OF Amert-
can enterprise.
Children are to become objects of
more and more scientific attention,
and they are to be treated as inpor-
tant assets Of the nation, the seers
prophesy.
Persons whose birth date 1t is have
a happy outlook for the year. Success
will attend efforts to improve condi-
tons.
Children born on that day probably
will be unusually charming In nature
and inclined to cultivation Of speech
and manners They should find 1t
easy to gain all that they desire In
life.

Besides making the internal ADJUST

the cause of these beauty problems,
it is necessary to assist nature with
some simple external aids. In the
first place the delicate skin round the
eyes must be cleansed thoroughly

soap will cause the eyes to smart

mistake, the proper cleansing of the
skin on this part of the face is usually
neglected. win not go SO far as to
I say that the dark circles round the
eyes are due to faulty cleansing in

cases this skin would be shade or

acquainted with soap and water.
Cold cream or olive oil may also be
used for removing dust and makeup,

day.
In using bleaching creams or
lotions about the eyes one should be
very careful to prevent any from
entering between the lids. Oil will
cause a smarting sensation, just as
soap does, but vaseline does not have
this drawback. A drop or two of
peroxide mixed we'll with one tea
spoon of cold cream or other cleansing
agent may be patted on the discolored
circles beneath the eyes and left there
overnight. In general, it is better
not to do much massag ing when
applying the bleach, because the skin
