MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS.

While milady may fully realize the
necessity of exercise for keeping her
figure youthful, she may fail to see that
1t is just as necessary that even the
muscles of the face get their share of
exercise. So many who complain of
dull. sallow compilations could easily
remedy this condition if they would see
to it that the facial muscles also receive
their daily allotment of exercises and
fresh air and treatments to keep the
circulation from becoming sluggish
There are several ways to prevent
the facial circulation from becoming
sluggish-exercise, massage, facial packs
and steaming are necessary in many
cases. A simple but effective exercise
IS to close the lips firmly and initiate

After the death of Lady Scott, Sir
Walter Scott wrote: II am deprived
of the sharer of my thoughts and
counsels She is Sentient and
conscious of my emotions somewhere,
somehow-where, we cannot tell; how,
We cannot tell. Yet would not at this
moment resign the mysterious yet GER
tain hope that I shall see her in a
better world, for all that this world can
give me-"
Scott had loved his wife with the
sincerest devotion. She completed the
circle of his existence. 1t was tragic
that her death came at the very time
when his financial miSfortuneS were
piling about him. Nevertheless, an
other woman shared a place with her
in the great writer's heart down to his
dying day. This companionship was
purely of the soul, it was innocent, it
was unavoidable. 1t manifested itself
in psychic occurrences which some

Why did not Miss Belches love him?

slightly so. He was a very active man,
and physically an attractive one. He

FOOD PROBLEMS
Vegeta BILE Meals.
BY sALLIE MONROE.

It is much easier to be a vegetarian
nowadays than it was once, because
vegetables and fruits are so much more
plentiful aid varied than they were
once, and because cooking of vegetables
has improved so greatly in this country
To be sure, there are still restaurants
and boarding houses where the regular
dinner" contains no fresh vegetables
whatever and very few good canned
ones. We still find dinners that consist
of soup, meat and potatoes, bread and
butter and pie or pudding. But a good
vegetable or salad is becoming more and
more imperative.
The vegetable plate or vegetarian din
ner is to be found in a large number of
restaurants and lunch rooms, and hun
dreds of men and women who are in no
way sworn to purely vegetarian diet

1t is the most popular choice of the
mother who takes her young child with

been assured so emphatically, by the
doctors and nurses, that children should
have plenty of vegetables, that this oc-

The vegetable meal often has the ad-
vantage Of lower cost, because of the
high price of meat.

Fabrics for Youngsters.

Cottons, silks, woods and linens all

the little girl and her bigger sister.
One must know the peculiar qualities
not only of each of these four classes
of fabric, but of the different sorts of
each class, in order to get the most sat-
isfactory results.
Linen is and always has been pecu-
liarly appropriate for children's dresses,
and this year it is especially smart be-
cause of the high favor in which the
so-called linen shades of blue, green,
yellow and rose are held There is no
other material that lends itself to re-
peated washings so well as linen, since
the peculiar structure of the linen fiber
throws of CRIME more readily than does
cotton. But linen brushes very easily.
and for that reason is a better selec-
ton for the dresSup frock than the
everyday frock.

command OF English, it never is taken
for granted. The utmost care is ex-
ercised by the corps of reporters to
make sure that, however faulty in other
respects a mans speech may be, it is
dramatically correct in the Record.
Thus, recently, when Senator be-
came highly excited while defending a
colleague and roared, Il approve of
what he done and why he done it," he
suffered no embarrassment when he
read his Congressional Record the next
morning. The reporters had seen to
that.
InSistent are these Senate and House
reporters that good English be used
whether member of Congress desires
II or not. Jim Wick, one of the veteran
Senate reporters, tells this story:
While making speech, a Representa-
tive said, THAT happened to he and T."
The reporter changed it to read, THAT
happened to him and to me-" But
when the Representative read his
speech later and noted the change, ne
put it back to "he and l."
But the reporter had the last chance
at the manuscript. Before the speech
went to the printer, he finally changed
it to read: He and had that happen
to u.s."
The correct word must be used.
whether the speaker uttered it or not
Thus, when a Senator recently picked
up law book while speaking and said
Il direct the attention of Senators to
this case" the reporter changed the
word direct" to invite"
His reason for so doing was logical
and simple. No Senator can direct
another Senator, but he can invite his
attention.

He passed through many months of
anguish. But in April of the following
year he met Miss Charlotte Charpen-
tier. a dark-eyed maid of French de-
scent, who comforted him and brought
him out of his dependency by her
merry comradeship and raillery. They
were married in the Church of ST
Mary at Carlisle on Christmas eve,

remained obstinately in his memory.

But, more than this, there was an
unusual psychic connection between
him and the lady whom he described
in his poem, The Violet" as my false
love-"
He often dreamed of Miss Belches-
or rather Lady Forbes.
Whenever she came to him in his
sleep it was sure sign that some mis-
fortune impended.
We have Lady Louisa Stuart's word
for this. She says that in SCOTS later
life he always dreamed of his lost love
