CHAPTER XLIII.
A Proposal.

As they marched by the judges

to Sally, foolish things. rather disturb
ing things. She had never seen him
quite like this-so boyish--so let
down in spirits. OF course they were
all exhilarated, and that accounted for
1t. But the remarks he made about
her appearance were disconcerting to
Sally. She didn't quite like them. She
remembered the feeling of shock she
had experienced when she had glanced
at herself in the glass.
Your mak-up is marvellous, Sally.
You look like a little Paris street
gamin. Myra is probably responsible,
isn't She? I'll bet you win the prize. !"
And she did win the prize for the
best Woman's costume. Not that it
was the most original-Sally knew
that-but the naughty look Myra had
managed with makeup accomplished a
great deal. She actually looked like
an apache.
She wanted to dance, but Richard
wanted TO carry her away from the
crowd. He was strange tonight. his
attitude puzzled her. He was both re-
pressed and eager. She couldn't un-
derstand him. 1t was enough for her
that she had promised to marry him.
Even the thought of parting with him
at Buenos Aires couldn't alter that
fact.
But tonight he was so insistent. The
way he had made love to her before
Myra and John Rigby was unlike him.
She yielded to him, however, and
they went below, and then Richard

1t happened this way. After Mrs.

had walked out Of the store, the

after her.
"You bought some meat and you did

the crowd that had gathered. But
the manager prodded her toward the
store, and she felt compelled to go
with him.
In the store, however, the meat
clerk declared that Mrs Campbell was
not the one who had not paid for
the meat, and humbly the manager
apologized. Mrs. Campbell sued him
for damages. for false Imprisonment.
Damages were awarded her in
accord with the prevailing rule of law
on the situation, the court stating:
''It is not. necessary that the in.

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.


Sometimes / think that far from
reading too little you gals read too
much-of the wrong kind of stuff.
For instance, you read love stories
that send you forth with the most
ridiculous ideas on the subject Of men
it's possible to imagine.
I'm sure you've all read somewhere
that it's possible for a woman to
change the man she loves into Just
what she wants him to be. And j
know for fact that any number Of
you have tried working on this grand
old theory with, oh, what results!
Polly is the latest dame to come to
me with her tale of trying TO make
over the boy friend. Tom is a dear,
she explains, but so noisy and rough.
It's the one thing about him she
doesn't like.
Still, when she became engaged to
him she wasn't much worried She'd
read that marvels could be wrought
on the most violent dispositions, and
she set to work TO do wonderful
things.
Tactfully. quietly, sweetly. she
started to tone down that loud, firm
voice of his. Cautiously, hesitantly,
she suggested that he needn't laugh
quite so much. Skillfully, she implied
that his jokes were just a bit on the
raw side. Couldn't he change them?
Oh, she was very careful and very
clever.
Tom never seemed to mind one of
her delicate hints, and she was sure
that a few months would see a great
change in him. But weeks went by
and still Tom grinned good-naturedly
over those slight corrections of hers
and still he ignored them.
Then one day he awoke with a loud
| crash. 1t suddenly dawned on him
that the little girl friend was suggest
ing that a few changes would suit
| him.
Say, listenp' he beloved in aston
| ishment. Are you picking on me?
You sound as if you don't like me the
way am. Well, that's too bad. But
1 can't help it. And / won't be picked
on. Get that?"
Polly burst into tears. There was
a grand row, and now she wants to
know what she did wrong, how she
could have been more tactful or more
careful than she was.
The answer is. Polly, that II Tom
failed to respond to the sort of treat
ment you describe, then those things
which you were trying to change were
too deep-rooted ever to be done away
with.
All we girls can do is try tactfully
If we fail with our little hints and
friendly corrections, then we've got to
stop trying right away and try to ad-
just ourselves to the things we don't
like in the boy friend.
There's absolutely no use trying to
make over the man we love.
We're only going to irritate him
more and more. If the things we're
trying to change in him are really an
essential part Of him, we might as
well give up the battle right now and
get used to those things or leave him
entirely.
Married life which consists of wifely
admonitions and corrections soon de-
teriorates into one long scrap.
If you find you can't make man
over, get used to his faults or leave
him. Don't persevere in your attempt.
It's the one time when perseverance
is bad policy.
Take him and all his irritating
habits or leave him for some other
girl to get used to.

Increasing Oriental Influence
By MARY MARSHALL.

A generation ago a writer on cos
tumery pointed out that though the
various peoples that we call Oriental-t
Japanese, Chinese, Turkish, Persian,
Arabian, Armenian, modern Egyptian
differed from each other as much
as races could differ, still there were
certain marked characteristics in
their dress. as distinguished from that
of the Occident. They were all more
or less inclined to wear clothes of
comfortable looseness-or, if closely
draped, clothes that followed the ma
tural contours of the body. Their
feet are very lightly equipped--they
delight in white fabrics, mingled with
such as exhibit the most brilliant
colors and richest designs; and they
indulge in an abundance and variety
of personal ornaments
Well, our own clothes are much
looser than they were. Scant though
they may be, they no longer bind and
construct our bodies. And the modern
shoe is light as any Oriental sandal.
White fabrics may be no more popu.
lar with us than ever, but we have
adopted a variety of brilliant colors
and rich designs that were unknown
to our grandmothers. Fashion now
sanctions a lavishness in the use of
iewelry that is truly Oriental.
Interestingly enough, we never
adopt enough of any one Oriental
fashion to make it clearly distingu-
ishable. We borrow a little from
Cambodia, a sleeve from China, a
wrap from Arabia, designs from
Persia, drapery from ancient Egypt.
Just at present there is much talk
about inspiration from Northern
Africa--which in the matter of cos
tune if not in geography is certainly
Oriental. Lanvin of Paris borrowed
more or less lavishly from the cos
tunes worn by the mixed races of
Algiers and Morocco, and further an
nouncement has been made that for
one of the great costume balls to be
held in Paris next year this type Of
costume will be chosen.

Waved Hair.

Some of us have naturally wayy
hair. If we have, we are lucky, for,
chiefly owing to the efforts and adver-
tising Of shops owning permanent hair
waving machines, all straight-haired
women are being persuaded that true
beauty lies only in WsLvy locks. 1t
isn't true. Curled hair is as often un-
becoming as not. But for today we
are only considering the woman whose
hair, naturally or not, has wave.
A wave has one advantage-its
softness can lessen the faces fatigued
look, which limp hair only accentu-
ates. In this case, the hair should be
brought fairly low on the forehead and
quite far out over the cheeks, cover
ing up the ears. Also 1t can make a
thin head or long or a fiat head look
round. For this effect. have 1t cut
quite short around the neck, shingled
up the back, and then, whenever the
hair is combed. the wavy hair at the
top of the head can be fiuffed out in
the back, making the becoming round
line.
Wavy hair sets off the serious type
of face best when it is combed out of
the way as muchh as possible. Comb

his cabin for a handkerchief.
Forgot all about it" he apoiogized.
This costume has demoralized me
completely. What tlo shieks do with
their handkerchiefs-tie them around
their wrists?'
Sally's eyes were rowing about the
cabin. She was for the moment un-
conscious of him. She stood there, one
hand on her hip looking as he had
said, like a naughty little Paris gamin.
In one stride he was across the room,
and had seized her in his arms.
''Sally-Sally-" his breath was un-
even.
II brought you down. here for par

Her head fell back against his shoul-
der, her lashes dropped against her
cheeks.
"Yes?" she murmured.
II want you to stay with me in
Buenos Aires. I can't let you go.
Sally, you must see that. Let your
husband sue for divorce and Wen be
married later. Not a soul shall know,
child. In the meantime, ] can have

With one hand he slammed shut the
door of the cabin. They We're alone.
Sally, answer me. Tell me you
viii stay Don't you want me, dear
est. Don't you want to be with me?"
Sally was suddenly cold. The touch
of his hands no longer thrilled her,
This wasn't romance. 1t was reality.
There was no longer any gorgeousness
about it. That Richard could even
suggest such thing was horrible. To
stay in Buenos Aires with him under
such conditions was unthinkable, and
that he could suggest it. was worse.
He must have sensed the change in
her, the sudden withdrawal of her
spirit from him. 1t filled him with
fear.
"SalIy?" he said quickly, what is
it, my darling?"
Her slim body had grown rigid in his
arms. Slowly she raised her face TO
his and wondered why those brown
eyes of his flecked with strange
streaks of amber, no longer had any
power to thrill her. She noticed only
the spoiled lines around his mouth. A
terrible heartache welled up within
her. She could have cried with sick
disappointment, but she was beyond
tears.
