them.
There is a famous story of an obscure
individual who won q fine post near the
King by his fearleSSneSs.
Once Louis took it into his head to
pay a visit to his kitchen to see how
things were being run. He had horror
of unnecessary expenditures.
In the kitchen he observed little
fellow, not more than IA, turning the
spit, on which Pm appetizing roast was
being prepared. This child was hand

The King went up to him.
"Well, my little man." said he, where
do you come fron?"

How much do you earn?"
ct earn as much as the King"
This answer greatly surprised Louis.
what, then, does the King earn?"
he asked.
To which Stephen of Berry pertly
replied: His expenses-and I. mine"
Louis saw so pleased with this an
swer he promoted the boy to position
near him, and later gave him one of
his most important places-groom Of
the bedchamber.

AS he saw his end approaching, Louis
XII of France begged his servants that
whenever they saw him very Ill they
would never mention the dreadful word
death"
He made them promise that they
should only Don't talk much" which
he would consider SUFFICIENT warning.
To be very sick meant to Louis an
other of the apoplectic strokes which
were carrying him to the grave.
Two men were there-humble men,
too-who fIouted the Kings wishes.
One was his doctor, James Coettier, and
the other Oliver, his barber, frequently
called THE Devil" This pair, knowing
his terror of dying, and his dependence
on them, did not hesitate to notify him
of his approaching demise in harsh
terms.

duty Assuredly all Is over with YOU
Think of your soul; there is no help for
it," :.
IT have hope in God that He will aid
me-" said Louis humbly. "Peradventure,
am not SO i'll as you think"
For long time Coettier had been
contemptuous of his sovereign. Louis
might be cruel and brutal to his chill
dren, the princes of the blood, his SER
wants and his counselors, but he feared
to visit his wrath on his doctor. He
dared not even to complain to him,
though he grumbled to his servants.
When word of this was carried to Coet-
tier, he told Louis:
Some day you'll send me where
you've sent SO many others; but, 'sdeath,
you'll not live a week afteri"
Louis coaxed him, careSSed him

SUB ROSA
Green Goddesses.

Two reports from London should be
Of interest to us. The men have fallen
at last for the cross word puzzle. The
women are discarding rouge and going
IN for green face powder. These are
the latest tips from the bailiwick of
the Prince of Wales, who himself is of
in Africa. His royal hghness should
worry about puzzles and powders.
We know the puzzle craze and the
way 1t antiques our vocabulary. We're
led up on such alphabet soup, and are
out after real problems. But we are a
bit nabbergasted by this report of the
green face powder. How come, sister,
over there?
The cable dopes down the further
information that the Anglican danes
who have gone from pink to pale green
want to cast tinge of mystery into
their countenances. Those English
girls usually have fine compilations and
don't need much help from the white
of powder and red of lipstick. But
why the Sickly tint they are now af-
fecting?
This change in the color scheme of
our English cousins seems to. be due TO
idea OF looking pale and mysterious.
Apparently the English wing. in the
mouse OF wOmanhood has the feeling
that the modern woman has made her
dresses la common sense and let's the
drus store give her charms a boost.
men VIII get some idea of what she Is
IKE. Hence the unearthIy tint which
TIT British belle has adopted.
There are tlmid insects which culti-
Vate green coloring so as to resemble
the foliage and thus escape the eye OF
the Dlrd that's on just such an insect
clet. The leaf green Is its protective
tint
It may be that the daughters Of John
Bull don't want to be SO much in evil
dence. Wed suppose that they could
sup by unnoticed in the London fog,
Out evidently these oVermodeSt maids
are Keen for the new camoufiage.
But no woman need worry about the
mystery of her nature where man is
concerned. Long ago Mother Eve took
on a form OF protective coloring which
was bound to mystify man in the ages
10 come, and woman has never forgot
ten the color scheme of Eden.
or course, it's silly to doll up In
enough paint to make the face look
like a Japanese sunset, but no amount
OF extra cOloring is going to reveal a
Womans real nature. Man viii ever be
mvstified. He will follow her blithely
and blandly.
The English girls have another guess
coming their way. Men will be inter-
ested In intrigues, no matter whether
the face Is as open as plate glass or
- tinted az Stained-glass window.

Your Baby and Mine
Bx MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

am always pleased, but dubious,
when readers act as If word from me
would correct all the abuses which
babies have to suffer.
please write about the foolhardi-
ness of tossing children from one per-
son to another across the ROOM" Sug-
gests one reader, "or about picking
baby up by his feet and dangling him
with his head down" evidently we all
saw the same motion picture of the
acrobatic baby.
Another says, "Please write some
thing in your column that my mother
in-law will read about how awful 1t is
to give children food from the grown
up plates-rich GRAVES and bread, cof-
fee, fat meats and anything that hap
pens to be on their plates"
The thought that always strikes me
when I read these letters Is where most
of my readers are 365 days in the year.
For those are the abuses about which
this column talks to the point of being
actually boring. Perhaps not in those
exact words, but If we say that chill
dren should have their own meals at
their own hours and should be given
only those foods which are suitable to
babies, We are certainly saying that they
should not be fed from the family
table, and from every standpoint OF
hygiene never from an adults plate!
Every day we say, not one word, but
many hundreds of them on the subject
of the best way to care for a baby, the
proper way to feed him according to
our best 1880 standards, how to train
him to bring out to the best advantage
the child's own nature and varying In
dividuality.
Never have we said that it is a good
idea to turn a baby upside down and
shake him around, and we have never
seen any authority on baby exercises who
seemed to favor this particular pro-
cedure. Obviously, II the baby enjoys
1t as an exercise and shows no harmful
effects from it. such as increased nerv-
BUSINESS and irritability, then who can
say it is actually bad for him? Most
of us aren't training to be acrobats and
don't know the effects of such violent
exercises.
The mother-in-1aw situation RACES
everywhere. The mother. as we'll as
mother-in-law, acts as If growth stopped
with her generation and as II new
practices were an insult to her. That
of course, Is an attitude assumed only
by those persons, whether they are 40
or 100, who have ceased to adapt them
selves to new ideas
Now, dear Mrs. w. C. P, your prob
lem is different. You know you are
right, so why fume and fret because
your mother-in-law@ won't admit it..
Have the courage of your convictions
and simply refuse to be bothered. The
situation you need to alter is living
with your mother-in-law. You admit
it is possible to move, but your hus-
band doesn't want 10. If your husband
is going to let his life and the rearing
of his child be dominated by his
mother, then he is still an infant, and
for an infantile adult there seems very
little help. think you have taken
wise step, and perhaps If you show your
Willingness to work and support your
child he may see the light of reason.

Straig Int Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN
Are You a Slave to Moneys

II you think about money, and talk
about money. from morning to night,
be careful. Be careful lest you become
slave to money. II you do enter that
sort of slavery, you will BE- serving a
hard, cold master. While that master
may give you the gold that you crave,
he may exact in return loss of happi-
ness. friends, love, and many other
priceless possessions.
The woman is a slave to money who
refuses to spend freely where her health
Is concerned. She is the woman who
will not rest because she may have to
sacrifice some part OF her salary. or
spend portion of the money she has
saved. She Is the woman who refuses
to have needed dental or surgical work
done, to save her money at the cost Of
her health if not her life.
Other women hoard and stint all OF
their lives, so that they may accumulate
money. Finally reaching a dried-0ut
old age they pass on, and their heirs
enjoy the fruits of the slavery. Other
women dress all of their lives in dOwdy
clothes. and deny themselves common
comforts in their abject slavery to dol
lars. At the, end their money is q
mocktng tribute to their AFFECTION.
There are othsr women who permit
money to tie them down to places-for
example, to old homes which are almost
uninllabitable, to furniture and fixtures,
and to all sorts of material things.
BY accommodating these possessions,
these women simply make their slavery
more complete and more binding.
The hoarder and the miser are not
the only types which become slaves to
money. The improvident woman is
just as hOpelessly enslaved. Women
without the means TO exert their indie
pendent wills and desires are slaves
to lack of money. That is Just a diff
ferent form of financial slavery.
What is the cure for slavery to
money? Go Somewhere-preferabl in
the woods or outdoorS-and learn how
easy it is to live without most of the
things that money can buy. Camp by
trout stream, near spring, and bring
along the necessary utensils. With the
aid OF few good catches, a lucky cast
or two, and whatever you brought along
br way OF provisions, you will f1nd your
way clear to freedom from the bondage
OF money. There are more ways than
one to be rich and free.

My Neighbor Says:

When cleansing celery use a
vegetable brush. 1t cleans the
celery better than the latter can
be cleaned otherwise.
A small box of lime kept in
the pantry will help to make the
air quite dry and pure. 1t
should be removed occasionally.
When making mullins in iron
pans, grease the pans and heat
them in the oven before putting
the batter in. Your mullins will
then be much lighter.
When painting a room the
following hints may be found
useful: Don't be in a hurry to
finish; put down old, newspapers
before beginning work and re-
move all curtains and hangingS;
keep handy a rag soaked in
turpentine to wipe off mis-
takes, start painting in the
darkest corner of the room and
work toward the light: don't
drown your brush--immerse it
about half an inch. use a piece of
stout cardboard with a straight
edge to protect the woodwork or
walls from splashing.

Measured by experience in political

should preside at the table of dissent

that all of his luncheon colleagues are
mere juniors on the job. He probably
is the autocrat of that table, but
very genial autocrat at that. That is
the Norris way.
Senator Borah once foregathered at
the round table. The story goes that
there was so much wise-cracking by his
colleagues at one time that he retired
from the picture. What a pity there
is no Congressional Record to report

we'll out of their very edges. II you are
clever you can improve the shape OF
your mouth by the way you paint It,.
But you must be very clever, and you
must not use much color or the effect
will be too artificial. The lips are usu-
ally improved by accentuating only the
center portion of them, blending the
color out toward the ends of the mouth.
Only very small mouth is improved
by having the color spread all over 1t.
John G. Kit would hardly be nee
eSsary for you to consult q plastic sur
geon to make your skin firm, so there
would not be those two lines on either
side of your mouth. I judge that they
show because of some f1abbiness of the
facial muscles, and If you build up all
over. your face will be filled out and
these lines disappear. Young people
like yourself never have folds in their
facial muscles If they are in full health,
and whenever there Is this tendency, 1t
should start an inquiry as to just what
is causing the trouble in the system. A

ment at such times, as whatever Is
