who is weak and uncertain yet
who possesses a new hold upon
life.
The Weary Road
She worked herself weary.
She had taken on new subjects
at the start # tile term, she
was gaining very slowly, a step
on her long. difficult road.
There were long hours during
which She forgot Basil entirely.
But there were others when,
relaxed, unutterably fatigued,
she would lie through the dark
ness Of thc nights and remem-
ber his face in unappeasing
flashes, .member his kisses and
cry for wanting him near.
Nights when she said. Il love
him-I can't endure it," And
days when she WORK and went
to her work and asked herself,
DO I love him after all?"
Basil Staines' father died be-

His younger sister. M iel, was

LOUIS E. BISCH, MD, Phi. d.
Famous Authority on Health
and Psychology

and PSyChOlOgy
Daily bathing is highly desira-
BILE, but we must always bear
in mind that mere immersion
in water is not enough, that we
must consider also when to
bathe and how to bathe.
Bathing is necessary to clean
illness, also for it's physiological
effect, since it stimulates the
skin and thereby promotes
general health, and thirdly, be-
cause proper bathing produces
a feeling of exhilaration and
makes us more competent and
cheerful.
Taking a cold plunge, how
ever, because We feel tired and
as a means of waking us up in
the morning, is not sound prac-
tice. In fact, the nervous SyS-
tenn should never be shocked.
Upon arising, the vitality Of
the body is at a low ebb. Often
the cold morning bath accom-
pliShes little more than to give
the vital centers tremendous
jolt, which is followed by in
creased fatigue later on.
Those who have taken
shower every morning for years,
"just as it comes from the
hydrant," need not give up such
a procedure unless they have
found that it does not benefit
them. In that case they should
try instead taking the bath in
the late afternoon. before din
ner, or before retiring. After
a few experiments the indi-
vidual discovers which time of
day is best, and which sort of
bath leaves him feeling most
refreshed. No hard and fast
rules can be set down which
would apply to everybody.
Nevertheless, one rule should
always be followed, and that
is not to take a bath directly
after meals. At that time the
circulation must be used for d.
gestive purposes, and forcing
the blood to the skin surfaces
by taking a bath distributes
the blood mass in the wrong
way.
That the hot bath has spe-
cial virtues there can be no
question. It dilates the pores
and generally is best for re-
moving dirt and grease from
the skin. But a hot bath every
day lowers the vitality Of the
system as a whole. A thor
ough soaping in hot water once
or twice a week is sufficient,
with a lukewarm shower on the
other days, followed by cold
water.
The care of the skin after
the bath is as important as the
bath itself. It is always adviS-
able to use two towels. one to
dry the skin and the other for
maSSaging purposes.
If one does not feel at ones
best after a bath there is surely
something wrong with it.

WASHINGTON FASHIONS = By Wilma LoVNe

You're no doubt Victorian
minded by this time, for we have
revived all the good points
of the reign of that good lady.
Victorian influences in dress
have been marked and re-
marked in these columns many
times. Victorian home furnish
ings ideas have likewise been
stressed, all the way from wax
flowers under glass to the vogue
for white, which is now express
ing itself in alabaSter lamps,
white rugs, white pillows on our
sofas. And Of equal Importance
is the revival of needleWork.
Women have taken to crochet
ing, embroidery, mat-making,
and to knitting. Not only are
they making wearables, but
now they are turning their at
tention to making things for
the home, too.
Make Them Yourself
If you haven't some pretty
doilies and mats put away that
you can get out and use again,
you'd better start crocheting,
for they are returning to vogue
along with puffed sleeves and
high waistlines. Sets of mats
and doilieS are again used on
tables of beautiful wood, so that
you can appreciate the table as
we'll as the things on it. Small
doilieS are used on small tables,
to put flowers on, often replac-
ing a bit of Chinese embroidery
or tapestry that we used to put
under heavy or scratchy things
to protect the table. Of course
you can buy them or have them
made, but it's much more fun,
and much more economical to
make them yourself.
With Any Period
The old fan pattern for
doilies returns again, and is as
smart looking as a modern
piece of furniture. Indeed it is
effective with modern furnish
ingS as we'll as with Victorian
pieces. The photograph we're
showing today proves that, for
the fan dolly is placed beneath
a very modern cactus in a pot
of Spanish or Mexican pottery,
just as modern. Such a dolly
would tighten and brighten
many a table in our homes,
and, needless to say, is an ideal
Christmas suggestion for a gift
to anyone who loves their
home. It's inexpensive to make,
and we will be glad to send
you the directions free OF
charge if you'll send your
stamped envelope.
For directions for making
these dOilieS, write Miss Laville,
enclosing Selm.addreSSed,

CHAPTER SO

CHAPTER SO
She knelt by her bed, he
prayed. She asked a God
grown very remote if it were
her fault. She pondered on
the heritage with which she
had, perhaps, burdened her
child-an inheritance of Sc
crecy and passion.
She saw beauty in that herit-
age, but a shameful beauty.
She was afraid.
Had Basil Staines asked
Joyce to marry him? Had he?
Would he?
But she could not ask the
girl.
Joyce, had her mother known,
had not thought of marriage.
After that first revelation. that
day there in the little winter
Of the Park, she had remem-
bered in a disturbed amaze
ment. Then it passed. This
was 1926. Men didn't propose
nowadays. not as they had, in
the earlier eras when they had
asked and been answered be-
fore they took their betrothal
kiss. Now-well, sometimes you
married and sometimes you
didn't. but you kissed all the
same.
Did she want to marry him?
Basil, for his part, pondered
no such question. He was in
love with Joyce. That was all
there was to it. He'd been in
love before. but never like this.
Now and then he was family
agitated by the thought that
the protestation had new
ring to it, the ring OF sound
metal.
Marriage had not entered
into his scheme of things. He
was not the marrying type, ne
thought. He was too young,
there was no money.
Not the Main Thing
He gave no consideration to
Joyce's financial prospects. His
mother was an American, she
had brought a dowry to her
husband. But the dowry was
not the main thing, and the
Staines name was OF not
enough Importance to offer for
exchange in the open market.
He wanted Joyce.
Nowadays, one wanted and
one had, quite often. BaSilS
youth was a matured youth.
He had grown up, overnight, it
seemed, IN the forcing-houSe at
mosphere of England after the
war.
One wanted, and one had.
Nice girls, girls with back
ground.
It all boiled down to one
thing. He was not sure of her.
He could not say. "She belongs
to me. The rest is technical.
ity."
Then. in the early spring, a
cable reached him that his
father was very dangerously i'll
and he sailed for home. He
sent Joyce a wire before he left
and a letter from the ship. He
had not seen her for several
days previously: it would be
long before he would see her
again.
Joyce went on with her
work. She went on with it with
q new wonder, a freshness of
dedication. Something had gone
from her which left her empty,
unsatisfied. aching with loneli-
ness. which left her clearer of

When Manners
Are Correct
DEAR MIS-. BEECKMAN:

DEAR MIS-. BEECKMAN:
I am Just in receipt of a card
announcing the engagement of
a young man with whom kept
company" for about a year and
a half. and to whom was in
formally engaged before We
broke up about year ago.
We parted good friends snd I
have had a call from him once
since we saw each other last.
Please advise me what kind
of acknowledgement I should
make to the announcement?
How formal or informal must
my reply be. if any, and to
whom should I address it? I
know the young mans address,
but I do not know the young
lady's address. No addresses
are given in the announcement
which is just a card, hand
written.
I am very glad to hear about
the young mans engagement,
although I do not know his
fiance. C..
Your attitude about this an
nouncement is so fine and
friendly and so just.what-it-
should-be. that I do hope that
you will write the young man
a note of CONGRATULATIONS and
good wishes. This is the thing
to do, and I am sure that he
will appreciate your manner,
illness and graciousness and

Advice to the
LoveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Says: ''Men Are All Alike"
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 81, but I look about IA,
and my family doesn't realize
that I've grown up. I have
four older sisters, none of
whom have any intentions of
getting married. That is be-
cause mother and father made
a mistake, and fight day and
night. I have wonderful
mother, and she says she
doesn't want any Of us to
marry, because men are I'll the
same.
My sisters go out on the sly
but I've always stayed home.
I would just love to have a
home Of my own.
Shall I leave home or stay
in this dead town where moth.
ing ever happens. and go to my
grave an old maid without a
friend. DISCOURAGED.
You're pretty young, my dear,
to imagine any such a gloomy
fate is going to overtake YOU.
But even if the town is dead,
and you're not allowed to have
boy friends, don't think of leav-
ing home during such hard
times as these. I'm a great be-
lever in families talking things
out PEACEABLY. Just tell
your mother how you feel about
things, and that you and your
sisters would like to make some
friends of your old age. You
girls must try to make her
realize you should have your
chance at happiness, even if her
marriage has been a failure.
Meeting boys on the sly is poor
policy, and I hope you won't
do it.
Loss Of Jobs Meant Loss Of
Favor
Dear Miss Fairfax:
We are two boys of 19 and we
used to go with two girl chums
till we lost our jobs and
couldn't take them places or do
things for them any more.
Lately, unknown to their
mothers, they've been going
with two other boys of very
doubtful regulations. These
boys seem to be able to treat
them and take them out, but
we'd like to know how we can
win them back? L. AND P.
If the girls are gold-diggerS,
and it looks that way, I'm
afraid there isn't any way to
win them back until you have
money to spend on them again.
But why worry over such mer.
cenaries when the world is full
of nice, companionable girls,
just pining for a little atten-
ton. I get scores of letters
from such. saying they'd be de-
lighted even to go for n hike
with a boy friend. but alas,
they don't seem able to meet
any boys. Look about you, and
pass up the gold-diggers for
something better.
