What is lonely aever dies
But passes into other loneliness.

l. 1t is sometimes interesting to
delve into the very distant past,
through the many books available to
us, to find out how our very ancient
ancestors felt about beauty culture.
In my search / came across
story which amused as we'll as en-
hghtencd me. The tale was about
very elegant, artistic gentleman of
the year $500 B. c. who suddenly
discovered that the feminine sex was
losing interest in him. He attributed
this lack to the fact that his hair
was turning grey, and so he rushed
to learned gentleman of the vii
lage:
Sfell me, Oh learned one, he said,
@what can / do to recover the color
Of my hair?" A modern beauty
specialist might have hesitated, but
the learned one Immediately gave the
formula of the treatment. Get the
blood of a black cow, rub it up in
oil and boil, after which it is to be
applied to the locks" answered the
Learned One. Unfortunately, the
ook has no record of the success of
this treatment, but there is no ques-
lion in my mind that much time and
money, whatever the currency of the
day happened to be, was spent both

Many of us have not been able
to withstand the temptation of those
sparkling new aluminium tripolators
which have recently appeared at the
stores. Naturally we have tried out
the drip method of making coffee in
them-and are converts. But do we
all know just why the beverage tastes
so much better and why it isbetter
for us?
It is because no tannin or bitter
ness is extracted from the coffee by
the drip process, as it is by boiling ;
only the full favor and the good
qualities of the bean are obtained.
This alone is news enough to make
Us want to try this modern method
which is approved-and practiced-
by almost every famous chef and do
mestic science expert in the country.
But in case some are thinking of
the old-time process which used a
slow-dripping muslin bag-it should
be remembered that this new method
of making drip" is almost instan-
taneous. One simply puts the coffee

"But what if we should fall out?

The abandoned suitors of Mem
made sorry squad at the Santa
Fe station. They stared at her
with Inundated devotion.
Bermond sent bushel of flowers
and fruit to her drawing-room. He
saw to it that there were reporters
to give her a good send-off.
Soon after her arrival the papers
of New York were publishing her
engaging eyes, the billboards all
about town were announcing her,
and in paragraph and advertise
ment she was celebrated. But SO
many others were also claiming the
public eyel other newcomers and
favorites in impregnable esteem.
People who had come from Cal
verify were claiming Mem as tel-
low-citizen and feeling that they
gained some mystic authority from
mere vicinage. Some of them
called upon her in person or by tel
ephoue and set her heart agog.
The night her own picture was
shown she stepped out before what
seemed to be the world in convcn-
ton assembled. She felt as tiny as
she looked to the farthest girl in
the ultimate seat up under the back
rafters.
She parroted the little speech
that Bermonds publicity man had
written for her and afterward
wondered what she had said. There
was a cloudburst of handclapping
and salvo from the orchestra that
swept her from the stage into the
wings.

that he frightened off her love.
This love business was driving
Mem frantic. In all the pictures
size had PLAYED, as in the tradition!
Of her girlhood, love was a thing
that cane once and never came
again. Good women knew their
true fate-mates at once and never

Then came The Pause. Hard
times struck the movies so hard
that in the studios they became no
times at all.
Most of the motion-picture fac
tories disarmed entirely, and the
rest OF them nearly. The Bermond
Studios kept one company at work,
and it was not Mems company.
She was stricken with terror as
she confronted her problems.
What could she do now-not to
perfect her shame, but to make a
living? She would be poorer than

talked poverty.
No one had talked hard times
longer or louder than Bermond.
Having heard him croak of disaster

ing, and was also a vibrant part of
the aesthetic side of living. Famous
Psychologists who have in these mod
ern times broken the silence of the
old Egyptian tombs, unearthing
mummies buried thousands of years
ago, have brought forth evidence Of
the activities in the beauty field IN
ancient times. Some of these e1-
plorers discovered cream jars which
had been buried with the mummies
and which still gave forth a delicate
haunting fragrance, which they could
not anaHze.
To critics who sometimes feel that
too much time is devoted by tho
women of today for beauty culture,
I should like TO recommend these
records which date back to the earh-
esttimes known to human knowk
edge. For they show couclusiveV
that there has never been time IN
the history of the world when men
and women were not interested m

their personal appearance.

| feeling sorry for him. Pity was a
dangerous mood for her.
He might have won Mem via
pity, if he had not tried to win her
from her career. He was a mon
opolist by inheritance, and he
wanted all there was OF Mem. Uoas
had one terrific rival, the many
headed monster.
1t is not hard to seduce an act
ress from the stage, but it is hard
to keep her off. There is a court
ship that the public alone can offer,
and no one man can give her as
much applause as nightly
throng's. That form of polyandry
is irresistible to most of the women
who have been lucky enough to get
on the stage or the screen and to
win success there.
One day Bermond summoned her
to his New York office and said:
"How about getting to work
again? I've got great story for
you and they need you at the
studio. On your way back you can
make personal appearances at four
or five cities, but it's back on the
job for you, Ell? That's right!
That's a good grill"
Bermond offered Mem neither
ease nor devotion-except devotion
to her publication. He offered her
toll and wages, hardships and dis
content, sleepless malaise, and bad
press notices.
And she could have flung her
arms about him and kissed him.
Austin Boas was at the station to
see Mem off. For his last fling
he filled her drawing-room with
fowers-poor things that dropped
and died and were flung from the
platform by the porter.
Long after their spell had been
forgotten, the sad gaze of Boas as
he cried goodbye haunted her.
She had murmured to him.
when I make another picture or
two ] may decide to be sensible,
and then-if you are still"
II shall be waiting" said Boas.
And he gave up with groan:
Marry me anyway and nave your
carlr, too. III put my money into
your company. I'll back you to
the limit"
At Buffalo and at Cleveland she
paused to come before huge audi
ences and prattle her little piece.
When she reached Chicago she
found awaiting her long letter
from the manager of the moving
picture house in Calverly. He inn
plored her to visit her old home
town and make an appearance at
his theatre. He promised that every
body would be there.
This was success indeedl To ap-
pear In New York was triumph, but
to appear in her native village was
almost divine vengeance.
