X TIGHT, rather than morning,
M Is the time for every woman
to worry about keeping her
beauty or developing beauty if she
hasn't got it.
The very first thing to do is to
remove all trace Of makeup from
the skin. | don't care how late you
come in or how sleepy you are
take off your makeup if you don't
do anything else! The pores should
be cleansed so that they may
breathe freely during the night if
the skin is to appear fresh and
sparkling in the morning.
We've had a lot TO say about
cleansing creams so I'll be as brief
as possible regarding their use. IL
your skin is very dry use a
cleansing cream that it rich in oils
so that corrective values will be
had as well as cleansing virtues;
II your skin is inclined to be oily
use a cleansing ear that has
been especially prepared for the
oily type of skins.
Two applications Of cream are
required to thoroughly cleanse the
skin; first a generous amount is
massaged into the face and re-

CHAPTER K.

TTHE SUN invaded a tiny bed
room in a brownstone house
that was exactly like every
other bedroom in every other
b~rownstone house in any city Of
these United States. With this
difference: That the two young
people occupying it on this par
ticular morning were lifted above
the common plane through the
force Of their " happiness. On
their sleeping faces the amiable
sunshine revealed tranquility and
mutual faith.
At seven-thirty a voice muir
INJURED, Jerry, darling, this is the
last time I'm going to call you.
Wen be terribly late" Jerry
opened his eyes and blinked. "Ohl
It's you, Mrs. Renard. Good
morning" And he waited a sleepy
kiss in her direction. The kiss was
smothered in pillows and rumpled
blankets, for Barbara had de-
termined to make her newly
welded husband get out of bed.
Followed hasty and refreshing
showers, a quick breakfast and the
usual silly things honeymooners
say to each other when there are
more important things to do. Then
they separated, Jerry to the bus
line and Barbara to take the street
a For they had decided it was
foolish to tempt fate, and, while
none of their associates lived near
by, it was wiser TO be cautions.
When Barbara closed the door
Of the brownstone house behind
her she glanced warily to both
sides of the street and then sped
down the steps like a runaway
prisoner. Funny business, this"
she thought. anyone watching
me would think / had just commit
ted a theft, or some other sim"
Once in her office she felt safe
from detecting eyes, and no one
would have guessed that she had
just embarked on the most thrill
ing honeymoon ever devised by
man. Byrdon, watching her tran
scribe her notes deftly and eff
GENTLY would probably have ex-
ploded in a fit Of jealousy If he
had known the truth. For Bar
bara had made an impression on
him not to be easily removed. She
brought into his life a freshness
and a buoyancy that carried him
back to his own happy youth, and
he would not have parted with her
for a fortune.
But as he stood at the door Of
his Office watching her work he saw
an office boy lay a folded note on
her desk. He recognized the paper
it was an office letterhead, and
instantly he knew it came from
Gerald Renard. He saw Barbara
open the note hastily. AS she
read it she smiled and a bright red
spot appeared in each cheek.
Just then she stood up. Byrdon
hastily turned away, but his
quick confusion was not lost upon
Babs. She realized her employer
had watched her read the note,
and for a moment she was be-
wildered. Did he guess that Jerry
and she were more than friends?
Would he speak to her about it?
She determined, in any case. to
deny the truth and save her Job
and Jerry's.
But she was spared the neces-
sity. For Byrdon was too hurt
by the thought of Barbara's indif-
ference to him TO reproach her.
he called her into his office and

BY MARY D. WILSON.

nEAr MRS. WILSON:
IL Z hare recently moved into a
retD house and the ants OF all sizes
are about to take possession Of 10.
Please tell me hoo I can rid the
place OF them. Thdnktn0 you In adj
Udnce, I am UerV respectfully,
MRS. w. A. y.
I'm afraid you're in for q
struggle, for ants are hard to elm
mate. But you can do it If you
have the patience. Find the ant
hills il you can, and inject kero-
sene into them. Then close them
tightly with cotton soaked in kero-
sene. Soak some sponges in sweet
ened water. The ants will collect
on them. Then drop them In boil
ing water. This, If repeated often,
will get nd of them. Then spread
borax on your shelves. Or If you
want to use a poison, tartar emetic
is as safe as any. I have found
that to be particularly effective
against the little red ants. But il
you have any pets be careful that
they can't get at it.
nEAR MRS. WILSON:

or Information that t0ould be OF
assistance to mef VERY truly yours,
A. L. ID.
I'd hate to take the responsible
ity for saying that any Of these
suggestions are sure to keep moths
out, for sometimes they get in no
matter what you can do. But these
are all good preventatives. If you
have a cedar closet or cedar chest,
put the furs in that II you don't
care to use moth balls, sprinkle
black pepper thoroughly through
the furs, and keep them in dark
ness. Or sprinkle tobacco all
through the furs and wrap them in
newspapers. III you haven't a cedar
chest, line a box with newspapers,

A T just about this time a flock
~ of college graduates, armed
with their new diplomas, are
setting out to conquer the world.
There is no reason why they
shouldn't do just that. But a lot

tent. But it's not entirely true. And
when such talk leads a college
student to feel that he is superior

entitle him to special consideration
IN the business world, it's al wrong.
