The Heart Story
 of . Steadfast Woman
By Adele Garrison

struck her. and there was in her face the quick resentment with which she lnyoluntarily meets un- welcome advice. But the next in- slant her eyes had softened. and her voice held disarming contrition.
 No. you are right she said. Marion is entitled to anything hlch may come to her through her father. I haven't any faith in this offer-knowing Sam Brixton. there's a trick in it somewhere, I'm sure, but at least, l must hear what the man has to say
 She crossed the room, retrieved the letter and looked at the heading again.
 Cleveland, Ohio" she said. \ heard he'd gone to the Middle West but l never knew where.
 His was a queer com bination of traits," she went on, with restless tapping Of the letter against her hand which told me how tense was Ter nervous strain. T don't sup pose it was so unusual either. Many men exhibit the same paradox He was utterly inscriptions. ruthless in business. but devoted husband and a kind stepfather. No" at any inv oluntary look of surprise, for the references in the letter had given me the impression that the boy and girl of whom Mr. BriXton spoke were his own children. Neither Ronald nor Carolyn are his children. Their father. who, incidentally. made Helen thoroughly unhappy, died when Ronald was two and Carolyn a baby, leaving his family almost destitute. She found posi- tion in Sc emuel Brixton's office, and later they were married. They al- ways have been devoted to each other and the children were given his name and never have been made to feel for an instant that he is not their own father If it were not for her knowledge of his shady business deals and her consequent mental suffering, she would be a very hap py woman. Whatever may come Of this l shall be very glad to see Helen again. She was my dearest friend in those days, but, of course, never like you.'

New York, July 19 P-Manhat- tan these days is a garden of flow crs-or frocks. Flower printed chif- ions and crepes are the order of the day-not a new style, but certainly an appropriate one, and a cheery one in this city with so little of q flower garden about if.
 Naturally Gotham's smartest daughters are not in the city, ex- cept for days shopping now and then. With Southampton. Newport. and all the points between doing a rushing business. and with every steamer leaving New York filled to capacity, this is not the open sea- son for styles.
 But tour of any of tho roof gardens will reveal snartly gowned women, though many of them arc tourists, and Park avenue will us- ually reward the eye if ore strolls there about luncheon time.
 A Checked 1aff'':a
 It vas on this smart :ilororghfare tlat ] saw Mrs. T. Hunt Dickinson in one of the new smart checked taffcta frocks with a surpllce neck line and a skirt with diagonal ruff nes across the front, and a smart piquant bow fastening.
 Her hat was the smartost possi- ble black ballibunti, with just the correct size of brim, for nrims arc larger than they were. But a pre- view of winter styles at one of tho most exclusive courturiers made me wonder for the future of the brim For nearly all the Paris imports she brought back were brimless, and they contrived to give the fashion. able oval line by revealing great deal of forehead.
 Most of them were very close tur. bans. with practically no width al the sides and slight height in tht front. to get the oval line. saw other hats that seemed to bt turned up and cut up in the front
 At the opening of the Scandals, noticed many tuile gowns; these seem to have grown steadily in favol since Chanel launched that famous

 A favorite color of the moment in| evening attire particularly in tullel gowns, Is brown--the dark brown| rather than the golden brown, often| lighted up with beige or lighter shades of brown.
 noticed too that yellows anal greens have stepped right up to tho front in the color schemes. The| transparent velvet evening coat wad| almost unanimous choice.
 Navy is Gaining
 Navy blue, it seems to me. is giv-| ing this bright, hard blue. good fight. The first part of the season. navy seemed completely behind, bud it has gained tremendously.
 Of course the navy blue foulard with the white dots has had an| enormous vogue, and the polka| dotted suit is seen in all versions. saw Mrs. Robert Honeyman. Jr.l at the Huntington horse show in anl attractive white ensemble with d long coat. pleated skirt. and a scafd of white with wide stripes of navyI | blue.
 Tucks and F1ounceA
 With her was Dorothy Rosenl wearing an interesting silk frocId with three rows of tucks about thd waistline, and smart embroidery| on the collar and the front tab o4 her frock. The skirt was quitd 1 novel, being a circular top over q straight underslip. and q narrow band of fine pleating outlined thd circular section.

forward. The arm is gathering force for pushing. It should not be strain- ed, but nevertheless ready for that drive that will send the body to- ward it's goal.
 During this part of the stroke. one should watch the line of the body in the water. Arch your back. In fact. the easy and good swimmer keeps his back arched all the time. This brings the water up to about the bridge of your nose if you hold your head naturally. Keep your eye out of the water but get used to having the rest of your face in until you turn to breathe again.
 Keep Stroke Slow
 You may have . hard time keep ing your stroke slow because of your lack of wind. until you learn to breathe properly. But it is far better to learn carefully and cor rectly and try to go very. very slowly until you can sense by the windmill revolutions of your arms and the padding motion of your feet that your extremitiss are in &C., cord. Keep your kick steady. Never let 1t lag.
 Speed Is an unimportant thing until your stroke is perfect. And for this perfection you have four things to consider: stroke of your arms, position of your body, kick of your feet, and breathing.

the foundation of all beauty Is health, and that if they keep their health, they can keep their looks.
 And not only are they interested in their faces, as they used to be, but in their bodies as well. They take time for gymnastics. sport and rest, and they realize they must control their nerves and their emo- tions if they are to remain beauti- full"
 The college girl is doing much to bring on the age of beauty. Madame Rubinstcin believes.
 Because" she points out. ''she does not follow the accepted styles and fads, but has definite ideas of her own. She believes in personality and is anxious to study her own type and make the most of it.
 And the more she uses the inside of her head. the more capable she

Lillian Tells Madge of the ParailoAi cal Characteristics Of Samuel

AS laid down the letter which Lillian had asked me to read aloud to her l was conscious that the fan taSic premonition she had had Was gripping ne. It was as If the sheet of paper with its bold chirogra pily which was lying in my lap was liv- ing sinister thing with powers Of evil coiled within it. l lifted my eyes from the signature Samuel Brixton,' and met Lillian's intent gaze.

 You're always cross when your brain has to come under the yoke of your ina glnatlon" she comment ed, putting out her hand for the let ter. l watched her anXiously as she glanced quickly over its pages again, and then, crumpling it into ball, threw it violently across the room.
 Lets forget fl" she said. "1 wouldn't touch penny of any money Sam BriAton might pay even if his offer Were genulne-W hich l doubt. In all these years l never have touched a penny of the small Tom-left for Marion. She has been nine-all mine."
 Her voice was shaken. raucous. and I knew she was reliving the arid years when her husband had kept her child from her. l waited for long minute before l answered her, waited until l saw the bitter ness fade out Of her face.

 We have said that your count for the crawl is three-six. This means that while putting your left arm forward, down, back and your right arm back, up. forward, you kick six times.
 This one complete revolution of the arms to six kicks gives about the most perfectly co-ordinatsd rhythm for the average person.
 There is one place in this rhythm when your arms are exactly opposite each other. It is when your for ward arm goes down and your back ward arm comes up.
 During this part of the stroke, your head still is turned slightly from the side where you have just been breathing. One Arm Rests While both of your arms look in about the same position when pie tured. there is . great difference in the feel of them to the swimmer. One is relaxed, being brought up to strike out for the next stroke. Its fingers are easy. even loosely apart. It is the moment of rest for that 1 arm.
 The other one is poised for action. Fingers are close together, prepared to scep the water and toecs tAs body
