have been very good all through
the month and have not broken
any dishes, or forgotten to give
the exact change to anyone you
will never see the mad prince in
the moonlight by the fountain.
But if you have been wicked
and you think no one knows
it--all at once as you pass
through the Griet garden there
he Is looking at you with his
big, mournful black eyes-the
Mad Prince.
And there's a little chapel in
the garden, too, all built Of
marble. Inside the chapel are
pictures glowing with rich colors
and there Is a screen Of marble
in the chapel so delicately
carved that it looks exactly like
the finest lace Of rose point,
such as the little lace makers Of
Venice make when they sit all
day with their cushions on their
laps.
The Homesick Man thought all
these things were beautiful
when he first went to live in his
villa by the bluest water in the
world, but now he hates the
sight Of every one Of them.
He does not care for the vii
lage at the foot Of his high cliff

MANY Times in TINS column and so we VIII dis
pense with it quickly. 1t is the absolute need
Of cleanliness, physical and mental. if one is
to attain lasting beauty.
So many women do not seem to realize that
cleanliness means more than frequent washing.
To be really clean one must remove all possible
trace of impurities, both from the skin and from
the system. Mental cleanliness means something
more than merely thinking pleasant thoughts. 1t
means refusing to sink into spells of self pity,
refusing to harbor spiteful resentments, refusing
to let the petty annoyances Of everyday life turn
one into a sour, dour, nagging, sullen person.
These points all have been discussed here
so many times that I'm sure you are more inter-
ested In my other discovery :. because IL never

What we do inherit is an over-senstiveness
Of the nervous system. Or, going deeper into
the cause, there may be some lack of harmony
in those wonderful glands Of the body, the "endc-
crime glands"
These glands, called glands Of internal Sc
c~retion,' play a large part in the development
and nutrition of a child. 1t is particularly i'm
portant that they do their good deeds before the
age Of fourteen.
The mind does its work from a nest Of
nerve cells. When these nerve cells are out Of
normal.
When the nervous system goes wrong, then
some sort Of nerve disorder appears. Some such
troubles are lasting, but thousands Of them can
be corrected by physical and mental measures.
In these cases, one mood follows another.

period, during which no upper classman could
speak to freshman.
The whole chapter gathered around him with
warm handclasps and hearty good nights and
good lucks as he left escorted for the last time
by guard Of honor to his room IN the dorms
How did 1t go at Melie's?" Beanie asked as
soon as the door closed.
"Oh, it might have been worse" Philosophi-
cally Duke took a cigarette out of the bowl on
the table and lit it. But don't see how"
where were Bhey when you left?"
"Just passed the Columbia boathouse-three
miles TO 60"
PLEDGE buttons had already been put on
the freshmen and magnificent meal-to
be paid for out of their initiation fees-urged
upon them, when Duke burst in the door
Excitedly he sought out Beanie, who with sew
eral other brothers was waiting second shift at
the tables.
"Sawtelle turn up all right?"
There were scowls and an mfraternal CLEAN
in Beanies eye yeah, you should ask that"
You don't mean he didnt-"
"Just that-he didn't" Hostile silence.
Duke showed his derby onto the back of his
head and passed hand across his brow.
"Groben-do you suppose, after all, Gro
ben-'
YES" Beanie's voice was heavy with sarcasm
Clever Of you to guess it, It's too bad you
couldn't have thought of it sooner
"Oh, is that SOP
eyes, that's If you hadn't had that
bright idea of taking Groben-"
MY ideal" Was this bunch of deadwood
trying to give him the birdie? Dana"
Suppose it was Dana's idea? You're the
one that Numbered things"
That's right, Duke" said Dana, neatly STEP
ping out from under. IT merely made sug-
gestion. You didn't have to follow it."
How" There was a lot Duke didn't
understand ~.
IF you hadn't taken Groben away when we
needed him here we'd have Sawtelle and the
laugh on the ri Rios" Beanie said
Needed him here!
THAT dumb frosh-I just got it from his
reconnaissance US the air because he hadn't
met any one in here who knew an oar from q
tiller"
Light began to break over Duke. so that
was why he asked If we had transfer named

And tried to laugh 1t of. Oh, goshl"
"A great little fixer you were-not."
That's the way you feel about it, Il IT."
Duke might blame himself. but he wasn't TAX
ing it from any one else. TRY and get me 10
do anything for this house again. Just try"
Regrettably unbrotherlike recriminations con-
tinued until interrupted by the shrek Of siren
splitting the air outside. There was shrek Of
brakes above the shrek of the siren, and o
cowboy yell above it all. Heads were popping
out all along Fraternity Row rs the Beta KRIS
tumbled out of the door.

was almost hidden by Groben's bulk, but her
head was on level with his. She must be
sitting on some ones lap.

1t was the lap of Elbridge Sawtelle Straw
bridge that Nellie was sitting on.
Il didn't feel right about going back on you
fellows last night" Groben's voice doomed out
over the cheers and congratulations, so did
little snoopin' around the gym this after.
Those Pi Rho frosh we're too buddy with Straw,
here, to suit me, so got Nellie to kidnap him
and keep him occupied till silent period was
up and could give him the works And here
he is. We may be baby chapter out at Mu,

Groben called him "Straw"-was dragged from
the car and carried triumphantly into the
house. What laugh on the Pi Rhosi
Duke was the only one to stay behind. Nellie
certainly deserved a real reward, he thought.
He'd take her to dinner as well as theater.
''You go right in, Brother Groben, theyn
want you at the head of the table. Don't worry
about Melie-In take care of her"
Thanks Broh Fletcher, some other time.
After what Nellie done for the frat I'm going to
give her big evening-feed and a show"
"But-but Duke and Z" Nellie started to
protest.
For answer Groben slipped the little car inta
gear and gave 1t the gun. -
Nellie had the grace to turn and blow a good
by kiss to Duke and his theater tickets, but
before she was out of sight he saw her snuggle
close to Groben. Evidently she liked q caveman.
