A GhOstly Visitor
Once in q while there would
come a gleam of the old power,
like sunshine pouring into a
darkened room, and then all at
once my memory would balk.
I couldn't think what it was all
about.
Lady Chatterly, I thought,
who is she, why do I keep re-
peating her name?
Once, I remember, I woke
from a sort of stupor, and saw
standing at the foot of my
bed, q tall, graceful woman
with a deep veil concealing
her face.
who are you?" I cried, in
my hoarse voice that was no
more like the voice of the real
Alma Rubens than a poor
cracked bell is like a silver
trumpet.
who are you, and why do
you come here, to torment
me?"
The figure raised its head.
Don't you know me?" it
said. Il am the one who is

CHAPTER AZ

Dope-what was the use Of
a divorce-what was the use
of hope for success in my new
play Lady Chatterley's Lover,
if I could not get out Of the
clutches of dope!
Like a man fighting to get
out of a murderous quick sand
T began once again my
desperate fight.
I had fought and lost, risen
to my feet and stumbled back
into the mire a hundred times.
All right-Td fight again-and
this time I would win-or die!
I took my telephone off the
hook, I never answered a
knock at the door of my apart
ment. I didn't leave my room
for days and nights, and I be-
gan to taper off on the dope.
Bore Pain Bravely
When the pains of depriva-
ton started in, I bore them as
long as I could without scream
ing fighting, mad.
At the last instant Of my
endurance I took a sniff of
cocaine, or a shot Of morphine,
but these doses were as weak as
could make them.
I lay on the floor most of
the time, half conscious-but
fighting!-Fighting with all the
pitiful strength I had left.
I sent out and got some
books which had helped me in
one of my last terrific strug-
giles. One of them was a
Christian Science Manual, I
read it over and over, word by
word, syllable by syllable.
I tried to commit some Of the
helpful lines to memory-but
my poor broken mind could not
retain the words.
Just One "ShOt"
All I could think of was dope
-dope-dope.
One more shot, just one.
I looked through my trunks
and found a book written by
a well-known astrologer-the
woman who has been the rage
in New York for the last two
or three years.

THE BEAUTY
BOX

A red nose is sometimes due
to a cutaneous affliction, but
more often is caused by diettc
errors. The gal with the flam-
boyant nez should avoid rich
gravies, highly spiced and salty
food, also heavy meats. She
needs more fruits and green
vegetables, more water, more
sleep, more fresh air.
Cold hands and cold feet are
warmed up by pumping plenty
of oxygen into the lungs. The
blood distributes heat to the
body and it gallops along
faster when the lungs are
washed deeply and freely with
plenty Of fresh air. Shallow
breatherS have cold feet. And
sometimes red noses.

DO YOU KNOW
THAT

Climate has a good deal to
do with the health of the. hair.
In a dry climate it breaks. In
a moist warm climate it is
likely to be thick and abun-
dant. Hair grows faster in the
summer time than in the win
ter. One hair doesn't grow as
fast as it's neighbor-one may
be young and the other old.
The human halo is always re-
newing itself.
The old;faShioned girl used to
boil ounce seeds or flaxSeed,
making a gummy mess which
she used doing her hair into
crimps and beau-catchers. A
gray deposit was left on the
strands and the hair felt crisp,
as if it had been dipped in
sugar. Now Miss Beauty-seeker
can buy bandoline at any beauty
shop or drug store. 1t is mex
pensive and satisfactory as a
hair-curling medium.

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
By Beatrice Fairfax
His Married Rival
Dear Miss Fairfax:

His Married Rival
Dear Miss Fairfax:
It seems I have some pretty
bad luck, don't you think? I
am % years of age and for the
past six months have been
going with a girl Of 20. I
have taken her to dinner, given
her presents, and we go to the
theater or movies quite often.
She has never asked me to go
anywhere with her and I have
discovered the reason. In the
group she trails around with,
there is a married man of so
and she goes to dances with
him and he gives private parties
at his friends houses so he
can meet her there. He has
married children and lives with
his wife. I want to break with
this girl, and I do not care to
state my reasons for doing so.
What would you suggest? T.
Just stop inviting her out,
making her presents, and show
ing her attention. Evidently she
is of the gold digger type, and
was taking what she could get
from you and her married
admirer as well. Don't show
any feeling in the matter and,
if she asks why you've stopped
Spending-juSt make some
jocular remark about the hard
times, or that you're saving for
a new car, or a house, or in
creaSing your savings account.
Boy, you're lucky to spot a gold
digger and say good-by instead
of foolishly breaking your heart
over her!

DIET AND HEALTH
BY DR.. Logan Clendening-

THE SKIN, if it is to be
beautiful, must be healthy.
And in order to be healthy it
must be well nourished from
within and kept clean and
supple by external treatment.
No application to the skin is
so regularly performed as the
bath.
Cells Are Shed
The outer layer of the skin,
the derma, is a dry layer of
cells that are constantly being
shed and scruffed off. They
are held together in the outer
layer like an elastic armor by
the oil from the fat glands.
There should be just enough
of this oil, and neither too
much or too little, if the skin
is to have the delightful satiny
feeling we like. A bath at
proper temperature used daily
is the best way of obtaining
this kind of beauty.
Man-Made Baths
But the skin has a peculiar
relationship to all the other
organs of the body. Small
nerves which terminate in the
skin have reflexes which con-
troll the size of the blood YES
sells all over the body. The
bath, therefore, by influencing
these nerves, affects the work
of the heart, the kidneys, the

know. Jenny didn't ask ques-
tions, didn't pry into the
"past" Of Delight Hartford,
never made embarrassing in
quiries, but accepted her as
she was, in the present. Still
she and Jenny had become
so attached to each other
that Mary Lou felt her whole
sale deception, which, naturally,
had included Jenny, was a
slight impalpable, but neverthe-
less real, barrier between them.
Even if Jenny didn't peer and
pry, bless her, Mary Lou had
always to be on her guard.

in order to justify to Clara's

BIG BUS IS TRAVELLING

A black and silver thirty-four foot juggernaut of the road, Just completed in California, will bring talking movies to country dwellers, in towns too small to boast thea tcrs of their own. The huge bus carries fl complete talkie theater in It's spacious interior. When the bus is drawn up at the side of Toad and two doors at the rear are opened, screen is disclosed. An audience of 2.000 can see and hear the picture that are projected upon 1t from inside the bus, says Popular Science Monthly.
 Elaborate living accommodations will make It's crew of six comfort able during a projected tour of the United States. Pullmanlike berths, q shower bath. and complete kitchen with a refrigerator and an electric hot water heater are among It's fixtures. The drivers "pilot house" Is on 6 second level above the "engine rOofn." and is reached by stairway.
 Under the screen at the rear of this land cruiser are the huge horns that supply sound for the taIkies. They are fed with elec- tricity from buiIt-in gasoline power dynamo. The projection room is guarded against fire by au- tomatic sprinklers.
