THE BEAUTY
BOX
BY Helen FOllett.

Short hair isn't a new idea.
It was fashionable in Egypt
more than 2,O00 years ago.
Joan Of Arc wore a pretty bob,
cut after the fashion Of the
young lads who served as pages
to royalty. Neither is the per-
manent wave a new discovery.
Greek gentlemen long ago who
took pride in their beautiful
and luxuriant boards did them
up in ringletS. strand by strand,
covered the curls with hot clay
and let them dry. Henna was
used not only as a coloring
agent for hair, but as finger
nail polish. The beauty bug has
been buzzing since Eve was a
girl.
Exercise for reforming the
fiddle-string neck: clasp the
hands together at the back of
the neck, high up near the
hair line. Press the hands
downward. at the same time
lifting the chin high. This
trick works double wonders.
While erasing lines in the neck
it batters down fat between
neck and shoulders, at the
back.

Every day. some doubling SIS

courage to call a man up and
make a lot of fuss over him"
Why be so a1truistic? Man is

money or love or only a girls

Nothing diScourageS q man
who is even a little bit in love or

It is possible, Of course. to
freeze a mans love out-but it

ator to do it. Yet, 1t can be
choked out In half a minute by
a warm blanket Of responsive
ness. When you seem over-anx-
ious to give q man anything.
whether it's your love or Just
your hospitality or your kisses,
he naturally concludes that 1t

his psychology-and he can't
help it.
A woman may be won by

ciates' affection and attention.
But q man is like cat; the
only way to win" him Is to

The warning must come from

Suddenly she stopped her

Of hot coffee. From q peg on

This, despite the fact that she
admitted he was hard and

His misery qualities was the
reason for her absence from
the house the night before. She
had made the habit Of going
once each week into the farm
ing districts of Long Island
to purchase vegetables, butter
and eggs sufficient for a weekly
supply. This procedure had
been inaugurated at the be-
quest Of MIR. Hubbard because
OF the saving it afforded.
How much do you think was

at midnight. 1t was a pretty hot
night and sat on the porch
most of the evening to take
advantage of the breeze. 1t was
after IL before I went in. About
8 o'clock I saw a tall young
man enter the house. I've seen

out. Then. at 1880 or there.
ahouts another man came from
the opposite direction and went
to the door. He was let in at
once. About half an hour later.
I should say, there were lights
in the attic. I paid no atten-
ton because that has happened
often before you know.
there's a belief that the house
is haunted. although I don't
believe in such nonsense. The
light was on no more than 10
minutes. Shortly after that I
went In, but / saw no one come
out.
And while I was sitting here
unconcerned about it, a murder
was being done almost within
my sight. You never know
when you're going to get it, do
you?"

There was a perceptible
movement toward his vest

have no need for matches"
Captain Blake handed Dale q
match, Smilingly.
Mr.. Hubbard'S will was q
very simple one, Captain; his
entire estate was, in his origi-
nal will left in equal shares to
his nephew, Andrew Easily, and
his niece, Charlotte Hubbard,
with a bequest Of five thou
sand dollars to Mrs. Mary
Lochel, his housekeeper. Through
some difference Of opinion with
his nephew, Mr.. Hubbard de-
sired to disinherit him entirely
and that was the reason for
having me draw up a new will.
In this new will the entire
estate was lef to Charlotte Hub
bard excepting the bequest to
Mrs. Lochel.
