 No letter came from Herr Meyer of his invention. There was no news of Fraulein Lyssenhop. There was no money in the table drawer and there were no receipts to be entered in the depressing little &C., count book. He did not care to | swim; the wound in his arm from the rusty nail was not healing pro- | perly, and the water was fourteen | degrees. Up to then meals had not | been any too regular, but now hun- ger was unmitigated and invari-
 able; and hunger, after three or | four days of it, has tn eeffect of an | illness. It brings on dizziness and | shuddering fits and makes you long
 to creep into corner and howl. Martin went to and fro, seeking | the means to stave off starvation.

 At night Martin dreamed of a mark ct place. It extended on and on without end, and he walked on and on, looking at stalls of ham,
 sausages, huge sides of bacon, butchers meat. and poultry. Noun
 tains of fruit were heaped up in
 baskets. Gingerbread was built up
 in tiers. The cheeses were as large
 as wagon wheels, and there were
 crabs, boiled red, on blocks of ice.
 Martin, too, so he dreamed, was ly-
 ing on block of ice, and the cold
 of it wakened him. The cold crept
 over his limbs like a hateful anil
 mai. He turned over on to the other
 side. for his arm hurt a little.

HOW FEAR IS BORN

The other day I watched a young mother unwrap a toy she had | brought home for her ten-months- old baby. | It was a soft rubber affair o1 the blow-up type. If 1t had been perfectly round, it would have been a regular circus balloon; but 1t happened to be shaped like g clown, red and white and rather lgrotesque.
 She took it out of the paper, of a terrorizing shade of orange, with a great deal of crackle and rattle and the wrapper fell on the baby's bed. He had just wakened from 9 nap and the family stood around to watch him goo and gurgle over his plump new playfellow.
 Fear Excmplified
 Four faces all staring; a ter rorizing colored something at the end of his bed; and suddenly up in the air a jumping, grinning, red and white demon that danced and bobbed in his mothers hand:
 "See, honey, what mother brought" and with that, the poor harmless little clown did some more acrobatics as she squeezed him and bowed him and jumped him over his new masters head, The baby was terrorized. I could see it in his poor little face before he started to scream.
 His aunt took the toy. "Oh look, honey. He won't hurt you And she laid the clown in the baby's arms.
 I reached in and took the clown away before there was a real con vulsion. have seldom seen greater terror in bapy's face. This baby is sport, too. He had never been known to show such oper fear before.
 urged. . when he g sees it won'i hurt him, he'll love it."
 "No," I said. 'I'm afraid that toy is done for. Don't insist please. He is afraid of it now. You can't make him like it until the desire for it comes from within himself. Let him forget 1t. Then | in a month or so lay it out some day where he can see it. If he doesn't reach for it, don't try to give it to him. And never let 1t be in a room with him when some thing unpleasant is going on. He has already associated it with 3 sudden startling terror. The best thing now is to let him forget that fear altogether. If he never learns to want it or like 1t. please don't force him."
 A Terror Stricken Baby "Goodness alive!" exclaimed the baby's aunt. That's attacking a lot of importance to a silly little l bit of rubber!"
 "It illustrates pretty well how babies learn fear" I tried to ex- plain.
 You are right" admitted tht mother. I gave it to him the wrong way. When he's older, IT try it again-or perhaps never This is very simple illnstra' tion of how fears start. Forcing will do no good, but will make things worse. The only way tt eliminate 1t, once began, is either by Expenditures or to introduce the cause again at a later time un- der happy circumstances.

I'ye come to collect, madame" Sally cried in great exhilaration. T turned sharply from the huge pile of mail that filtered my desk. My assistant and I were answering every known question that had to do with beauty, health and woman ly grace. Sally was looking re- splendent in chic Paris model frock with wide cape sleeves and softly draped neckline.
 "Coliect what?" I said, still be- wildered from the mass of beauty questions in which had been so intensely preoccupied for several hours.
 Let me collect my wandering wits first" I said, land I shall be able to meet whatever bills you have at present"
 Sally countered cheerily. T have come, dear benefactress, to col- lect my correct posture and beauty exercises"
 "If you will just promise to be your natural and graceful self, Sally, I shall not take it amiss. !"
 ITO strengthen your muscles, start with the hips, which have a tendency in most persons to grow heavy. Now my dear the simplest exercise for your hips is rolling"
 "Rolling!" Sally exclaimed, open mouthed. Do I roll like a ship ?"
 No, like lead-pipe, my dear, although that sounds unesthetic. oD it eight times, twelve times. even sixteen!
 And don't I ever dance on the lawn in chiffons like those euryth- mic college dancers?'
 You debut later. Stand erect, hands on hips. Raise the legs bent at the knee, first one and then the other. Then lift the legs, knees perfectly straight, spine erect for eight more times-first the right then the left leg"
 And the flowing-robed dances, teacher-?"
 "A bathing suit will do just as well, Sally. And moreover, you don't need them, since you are a good deal out of doors. But try this: Lie flat on your stomach, place the weight on the palms of the hands; bring the body up. Let the toes maintain part of the weight. Raise the body up and down several times-then quicker; gradually lengthening the move ment. This will build up the muscles. For the facial muscles, apply Contour Jelly which strengthens the tissues and keeps your contour young"
 Thanks, madame" said Sally, as she rouged her small curved lips with the new automatic lip-

Martin was ashamed fthe chatter he made with his knife and fork, as he ate. A three days hunger turns a man into a beast. When he was tolerably full, he felt able to face life again He beckoned to Vesi, and she came up to him with alacrity.

 A washed-out mermaid won't swim very far when she enters the summer water. If she wants to make an effective splash she has to see that she has complexion that won't fade when the waves tumble over her head. Permanents help hair to preserve its wavipess, and now there are new rouges that will make lips and cheeks as rose -fush- ed as anybody could want them to be.
 If you are the bathing type who prefers to lounge on the beach in gay pajamas, or slacks and sweat CTS, you won't want the sun to fade your complexion, either. The same rouge will help you.
 In preparing for your out-of- door conquest, first of all, cleanse your face thoroughly the usual way. Then use the powder base that you have found serves you best. May be you need lotion that will tone up your skin. When you are through, powder should be applied. There is a sun-proof powder that provides a healthy outdoor color. It has a peach glow that is as ef- fectual for blondes as for brunets. It contains certain ingredients that , make it a perfection against freckles, too.
 The waterproof rouge, which is luscious red that is creamy enough to be applied without any caking or smearing, is equally suit able for cheeks and lips. Make up your lips first. Your fingers will contain enough surplus, as a rule, to start the color scheme of your cheeks. If you have a dim pie in your chin, small dab of rouge. carefully blended, will em- phasize it. IT you haven't, and your chin Is too ong or too square, you may obtain an attractive slant by attempting various effects.
 This rouge will cling to you. through water or sun-bright paths across a meadow or around golf course.
 Half of the game, whether you are sitting on a beach or knocking tennis balls over net, comes in knowing that you are we'll groom ed. You derive self-confidence from it, and self-confidence is an all-important quality in any sum- mer program,

You don't know how lonely l am," the Bojan continued. There is not a soul in the world who means anything to me. Yes, it's frue-for all my celebrity. No, l am incredibly lonely, Nobody knows what our success costs us. We give our hearts blood, and what do we get in return?"
 The Bojan was now under way. She was throwing herself into her role of the eighties, and she felt a blissful relief in playing the part. Her voice had hundred nuances as she presented for Martins bene- it q little improvisation in what ever words best served her turn. In any case, the Bojan did not know that she was acting, for she had real genius and the tears came unbidden into her voice.
 Martin, too, was affected. He held his breath. He felt awkward and clumsy and did not dare to open his mouth. The Bojan indulged and condensed her emotion as if she were being filmed, and she felt that her tears had at last come into her eyes. She smiled with moist eye lids an dtremulous lips. She caught her wrap more tightly round her shoulders until she look ed quite consumptive and thin.

After all, I am not an old woman. And now I will tell you my secret-- have never known love. I have never experienced real passion"
 Martin groped his way along the gravel path of the park in a state of painful emotion. The Bojan ut terede her last words in hoarse whisper, and he could catch them only by listening intently. It seem ed very cold that a poor devil like himself should be walking beside the famous Bojan and hearing the secret of her unhappiness. She told him her secrets. She came to him. to hypnotize him, and she had kissed him that day as she lay in her gondola.
 his heart beat violently. Since May had abandoned him he had been left defepseless and as if stripped { of his talisman. And here was the hot hand again-he took it and held it fast.

BEGIN HERE TO-DAY


 Martin Hell, handsome young naiVersity graduate in engineer |nr. lost his fob when the plant |r which he was emplOyed was Inerked, and he became swim
 ming instructor at an Austrian lnke resort. He had inevnted a uon-inflanirnable movie film and several times daily sent for Q let- ter from Herr Meyer, patent Gngeut. Frequently he went hum efy as his earnings were only about third of . schilling for each lessn he gave Herr BirndFs patrons. Martin and May Lys-' eenhop, whose father was weaI- thy and who had q twin sister Carla, fell in love and became engaged. When Herr Lyssenhop decided suddenly to leave, May urged Martin to speak to him about their engagement. He did, but when Mays father heard that Martin had placed his in- vention i'm the hands of a virt- ilal stranger, he called him q fool and warned May she must sec no more of Martin. Earlier fin the season, while swimming across the lake training for a race for his club, Martin was almost drowned when Puck, 16-ycar- old daughter of Baron and Bar cness Dobbersberg, rowed out and recued him. The baroness was known on the stage as Ca- milla Bojan. Feeling blue after Mays departure, Martin decided to visit the Dobbcrsbcrgs. The baron and Puck left Martin and the Bojan alone. She was wcar- ing a costume of the sos she was to use when she opened in the autumn in "Ia Dame aux Cam ellias," and she said her part had gotten into her veins. She told Martin sch was unhappy.
