Besides the distributing there must

the afternoon posing for Tom. She
| mustn't be i'll. She simply couldn't
| afford to be i'll!
Willis Deans studio was quite near
| her apartment. 1t took up the en-
| tire top floor of house he owned.
| The apartment underneath he occu-
pied with his wife. and the two other
apartments were rented.
Nan loved to pose for Willis. He
| did commercial work largely, adver-
tisements for toothpaste and SILK
stockings. Sometimes she would pose
as a. beautiful bride in an advertise
ment for a certain kind of wedding
| ring, or else she would be used in
a picture bending over a chest OF
| silver.
But it wasn't the kind of work she
| did for Willis so much as the atmos'
phere his wife gave the place. Mary
Dean was always running in and out,
| talking and laughing, telling funny
experiences she had had during her
marketing that morning.
Nan liked Mary and Mary seemed
| to like her.
She was a little thing, plump and
| dark, She had silky black hair cut
with bang and straight across her
ears. When she leaned forward the
side part Of her hair swung back and
| forth in a fascinating way. She was
| all nervous excitement.
Willis, who was quiet and delib'
crate, called her Indian" and 1t was
easy to see that they were very much
| in love.
This morning Nan was to pose
| merely as beautiful lay figure for
| a new kind of perfume. 1t was an
| easy pose, and she was glad because
she felt so badly. She kept listening
| for Mary's footsteps on the stairs
and wishing she would come In TO
| liven UP the atmosphere, and at last
| about II o'clock there came the SCUM
| of swift footsteps on the stairs.
Mary burst in as she always did
| and struck a pose. After they had
! been talking nonsense few minutes
! she said to Nan:
you're not feeling so well today,
are you? OF course, old VIII. here
would never notice anything
I'm all right" Nan said quickly.
| She had to make that IS. L think
I caught cold last night and my
| throat is scratchy."
| Mary made her come out to the
| bathroom. and gargle.. 1t did make
| her throat feel better. But at 1880
when Willis was ready to stop, she
drew a breath of relief. She would
have to call Tom up and tell him
she wasn't we'll enough to pose that
afternoon. She hated the idea, but
she really did feel wretched.
Tom was disappointed for more rea.
sons than one. 1t was a wonderful
day and he felt fine and very much
| like working. Not only that, but
since his feeling toward Nan had
| crystallized he had more ambition:
He wanted to finish this portrait OF
| her and get busy on lucrative work
He felt a vague resentment now
toward such men as John st. Clai:
and Duncan MALCOLM. Before he
hadn't, cared. It twas fun to dream
away the time. To start picture
and never finish it.
Now he realized that these men
worked early and late for the success
they had, while he was drifter. In
his heart of hearts he knew he had
talent; he had gone to art school
with Duncan Malcolm and had GER
tainIy done as good work and shown
as much promise.

Will They Slip You +!

Will the matter Of slip-covers slip
by your notice until your plans to
obtain them will have to be rushedY
No time should be lost at this late
date in selecting the materials desired
and leaving orders to have the covers
made up. Some women, still make
their own covers, but a majority have
them made outside.
One must decide first of all upon
the method of covering. One way is
TO order one design and material for
all of the furniture to be covered.
Another way is to order by rooms.
/. e., this color and pattern for that
room, and so on. Still another method
is to order covers for individual pieces.
A great deal depends upon the ma
terial desired. and the effect one wishes
to produce. For example, one must
choose between linen. cretonne, chintz
and other materials. 1t chintz is ones
selection, will it be glazed, semi-glaz-
ed, or unglaZed chintZ? Some women
prefer quilted covers for their unup-

to be out Of doors.
The table and chairs are the plain
est sort imaginable, but given touch
of sophistication by being painted a
very deep, rich red. There is a. cheer
full red Chinese lantern hung over the
table, which gives light at night.
A shelf extending around all four
sides of the room is used to support a
row of plants in red flower pots. These
add to the outdoor-like atmosphere and
are most refreshing.
A more delightful place for two peo-

Keeping a

Never risk

complexion soap

TeHE important point to the mod

skin clean and pores open, with soap
and water cleansing, is to use the
right kind of soap.
That means a true complexion
soap. A soap made primarily for
facial use. Soaps good for many
purposes, other than for beauty, are
often too harsh for the skin.

Declares Catholicism Opposed to
 Anarchy

Andover, Mass. Aug. 20 (CP) - Anarchy and atheism were discussed briefly by William Cardinal O'Con- nell in an address at the diamond Jubilee of St. Augustine's parish here Sunday.
 He compared the present position of the Catholic church in the com munity to that held 75 years ago, and emphasized the importance of Catholic activities in the up-build- ing of the community.
 ''The descendants of the Puritans all over the land are beginning to realize that they were very lucky to have Catholics in their employ in the mills and in the factories and around them" he. said.
 They (Catholics) were not athe- ists nor anarchists. Never, Now atheism is beginning to show it's head in the country. and with it anarchy. I hope they will realize and understand the value of the mo- ble service rendered them by the fathers and mothers of such people as the congregation here today"
 His eminence deplored the works of anarchy and atheism.
 What terrible blight must come % the mind of one who has inher- Ned his faith and then foresaken it, to the mind that forsakes God, that forsakes law, that forsakes govern ment." he said, What a horrible condition of mind and heart that re- yeals."
