CHAPTER XII.
The Last Day.

The captain had told Myra that
they were going to be late, and
strangely enough Sally had an absurd
feeling Of disappointment.
Not that she had any definite feel
ings about reaching New York. It
wasn't that. But she longed to ex-
perience some definite sensation again.
Tom and Bill would be meeting
them, and she was somehow afraid to
some way that her attitude toward
him was not the same. He was so
sensitive. efa sa l98H
How sweet he had been the day they
had sailed. And how sweet he had
been for days before that. He had
wanted her to have this trip. Not only
that, but had insisted upon outfftting
her so that on the day of sailing she
would look as well as Myra did
She was wearing the same wine-col-
ored dress that she had worn on the
day of departure and the coat trimmed
with Siberian squirrel.
1t was strange to be wearing Win
ter clothes again. Strange to think
that after so much had happened they
We're going home again. The thing
that worried her most was the feeling
of apathy that held her in it's grip. If
she didn't come out of it, If Tom felt
she was changed, it would be awfuH
Sally was much too simple to play
role, much too sincere to pose. She
would either have to go back to Tom
whole-heartedly or he would knew
that something was wrong
Myra came rushing up to her at
noon.
We're getting in tonight after ALL
The ship Will probably dock about 9.'
Evening star., 1927-05-04

Her face was vivid; she was plainly
excited.
Sally stared at her. There was a
freshness about her that was really
astounding. She seemed younger than
she had been in years, much younger
than she herself was. Sally felt as old
as the ages, and the numbness that
had closed in about her brain and
heart was alarming.
She packed listlessly.
AS she folded the three evening
dresses that Myra had given her, she
shuddered. They gave out a faint
perfume, half her own, and half the
scent of those moonlit nights on G.
deck when she and Richard had sat
side by side in their deck chairs.
But even now she experienced no
sensation of any kind. She was apa-
thetic and nothing more.
When they reached quarantine at
o'clock Myra was more excited still.
She became almost impatient with
Sally.
DO show little feeling, that's a
lamb. DO you realize that in a little
while now we'll be passing the Statue
of Liberty? And the New York sky
line, tooi Buck up, darling. Let's go
up to the smoking room and have a
ldSL SldSS OF SQ6fry.
When they reached the smoking
room the bar was closed, and Sally
for one, was glad.
She wanted no false stimulation.
She wondered vaguely if she would
experience any feeling as they passed
the skyline. People were supposed to
get excited after they had been away
for any length of time.
How long had she been away? 1t
seemed as If centuries had passed. =
AT o'clock the boat began to move
again. Soon-soon, they would be
edging into the wharf If only she
could rid herself of this feeling of
strangeness! People-things-s
so remote from her. 1t wasn't as If
she still loved Richard She had gone
over that time and again. She had
forced herself to think of him, in order
to determine what her feelings really
were. But she hadn't any, she couldn't
seem to feel about anything.
She and Myra leaned on the deck
rail, so close that their arms touched.
Myra had a radiance about her, a sort
Of a white fire. Darling Myra, who
was always so wonderful, while she.
Sally, was so dull and disappointing.
She remembered that night on the
tender going out to the liner that was
to take them to South America. She
remembered turning to look for the
first time into Richards dark eyes,
But she felt nothing.

Selecting the Dress for Business
BY MARY MARSHALL.

to have a dress that appears well
when one is walking in the street
driving in ones motor car and spend
ing an hour or SO at restaurant over
luncheon or tea. Added to such smart
ness, the business women's dress must
be good for seven or eight hours
uninterrupted wearing in Office or
shop besides.
Some business women have elimi-
mated the two-piece tailored suit as
unsuitable for their requirements be-
cause, though it makes a smart street
costume when worn with the jacket,
il is less attractive when worn sans
jacket, with blouse entirely revealed.
And this prejudice seems to persist
despite the fact that a decade and
more ago the shirtwaist and skirt was
considered the ideal costume for the
business woman during office hours.
After all is said and done. there
really is no sort of frock more suitable
for most business women during warm
days of Spring and Summer than the
one-piece frock made of crepe de chine
or other lightweight silk. Dark colors
are usually best. since it is only
through good fortune that one can
wear pastel colors eight hours at
business without some signs of Office
CRIME. Detachable cuffs and collars
of organdie or other washable mate
rial are well chosen, since they impart
an air of freshness and can without
much difficulty be frequently laun-
dered or renewed.
The frock shown is of brown crepe
de chine. with the V neck finished
with a detachable binding of tan linen
that also forms a bow at the front
and pipings for the cuffs.

BY LOIS LEEDS.

lens. A troubled mind destroys good
looks just as surely as unwise diet or
the use of inferior cosmetics. This is
particularly apparent in the case of
the thin, nervous woman who is vainly
seeking to retain her youth.
The easiest methods seldom bring
the most satisfactory results in any
department of life, and this is espe-
cially true in ones efforts at self-im-
provement. 1t is, of course, an easy
matter to rub a little anti-wrinkle To-
ton on ones skin once day with the
hope of removing facial burrows, but
unless the habits that cause the
creases are removed the external ap-
plications cannot be of much help. The
more difficult, slower method of build
ing up one'h health and controlling
ones nerves must in the end be relied
on to smooth away the wrinkles.
The worrying habit leads to all sorts
of functional disturbances, notably to
indigestion and constipation. These in
turn rob the complexion of its healthy
color and fine texture. Baggy eyelids,
sallow, blemished skins, wrinkles and
underweight characterize the chronic
dyspeptic.
Some women are as conscientious
about the worrying habit as they are
about brushing their teeth or mani
curing their nails. Yet every one
knows that worry is bad habit that
is destructive to beauty and physical
health. The same may be said of dis
content, envy, ill-temper. jealousy, Bit
terness, selfishness, egotism; in fact.
any mental state that makes the face
pucker into ugly lines upsets the di.
gestion and banishes joy from life. A
happy, even disposition is, after all.
the best guarantee of health. good
looks and prolonged youthfulness.
