 May use your telephone?' asked the driver of the small car. "Why, surely!" Mrs Phillips answered with pleasant, rural He called a blind number to tell "LucX' that he would be late for dinner. Done with thef tele- phone, he asked for @ glass of water, drank it slowly and chatted with the unsuspicious woman. Yes, she took care of the little 1 boy for MT Colvin. The boy was Mir Colvin's adopted son. A nice pleasant little fellow, the boy was She was that fond of. him! MT Colvin came up once a week. The | boy was to have a new tutor soon. He hadn't liked the old tutor. His name was Dexter, sch thought. It seemed "lAnd of hard" to get good toutors to stay in the coun- try.
 The sleek person with whom Lida had had a talk early that morning called her by telephone as she sat at her lonely dinner. Lida had been able to locate no one who would dine with her and Cara Woodbridge on being asked had been so icy as to be insulting! "I've good news for you!" she heard over the wire. Tt was pretty smart work to nail it down so quick--' A "Oh, indeed yes," Lida mur- murcd. Then a sharpening, What is the news?"
 She heard the man clear his l throat. Then he said, 'it, would be better, Mrs Stafford, if ran up to your place to tell you. It ain't--it isn't matetr l can say so easy by phone"

 "Yes, nam - yes = ah, Mrs Staord. I'll be right along!" She hung up, triumphant. She held the whip now and Barrett would cover!

Smiling. she left the telephone to wander to the drawing room where she studied herself before a mirror. Lida was pleased with her reflection. The man who was coming to see her would be quite frankly overcome by her dress, cut daringly low, and the jewels on her arms. She thought of the mans glitetring eyes and warmed at the memory.

HpYOUR' CHILDREN
!, By Olive Roberts Bsrton 2

psar chilren:

Dear Chilren:
 ouite-Laxy was gnome and he lived in a little rock save un- der the green waterfall.
 Quite-Lazy lay a minute star ing at the cool water curving out like e glass wall in front of him. Then he sat up and blinked. What was that dark shadow in the wa ter that kept bobbing up and down?
 A fish! Well, that wasn't so surprising in one way. Many fish came down with water and land- ed in the creew below. But this fish was not going down-he was going up. He was climbing the falls just as fly climbs up a door.
 Quite-Lazy watched. The fish tried over anr over again but each time. he would fall back. But at last he gave one great leap and this tome he stayed up. Quite- Lazy. knew the fish was swimming away, although he couldn'e see him.
 Taking Life Easy
 s'My goodness!" said the little gnome. "He worked very hard to get there. How silly! Nothing is worth so much hard work. The easier you take life the letter you feel"
 Quite-Lazy finally rolled out of bed. He didn't wash. He didn't dress, because new he remembered he hadn't undressed the night b. and munched at the minstead of getting some decent food for his breakfast.
 But one thing he did do. He was curious about that fish. So he climbed the rocks, sitting down every minute or so to get. his creek where 1t spilled itself over.
 And there in pool of clear wa ter was the fish nibbling at some water-hyacinth that grew there.
 Did you do all that work just for a taste of water-hyacinth?" ?" asked Quite-Lazy. scornfully.
 Certainly" said the fish. "Any- thing worth having is worth go- in gafter. Besides it's good for me to try hard things. I feel bet ter: And I am getting very strong and very quick"
 "I just like easvy things,"' said Quite-Lazy. T don't like to work. think it's foolish"
 Saved In Tnme
 Just then mink made a dart into the water, but the fish was too quick for him and swan away. Then the mink climbed out on the bank and reached for Quite- Lazy. You see he was after his breakfast too! But Quite-Lazy Lad forgotten how to run. It would have been the end of him but the fish reached out and dragged him down into the water. He swiftly rode the Title gnome on his back to the other shore and Quite-Lazy schambled for home.
 Quite-Lazy did some thinking. T guess if you do hard, things 1t makes you quick and strong" he said to himself. "And it, comes in useful. If you never want to work 1t makes you kind of stupid and slow. And when you get stupid and slow anything is likely to happen"
 E'm glad he learned some sense. aren't you, children? It Is silly to Ee lazy, not silly, to work. The smart fish had the right idea. He was right in every way. What is worth having al always worth working for; besides in the end it helps in many other ways as we'll.

The lov- CTS may forget it, but as William James said, "the nerve cells will not forget it." They will be lying in wait for another flare up and, unless steadily trained by more than mere reconciliation, will al- ways be like a match lying by a train of powder. just waiting to be stepped on.

Long after Jack was sleeping soundly Sue watched the moon \ light making white circles on the Il floor. She, was restless. She stirred and reached out her hand and slipped it into Jacks. He drew i, under his arm.l
 She was almost asleep when she heard a low voice on the balcony. A laughing voice, suddenly hushed. Someone was keeping moonlight tryst she decided, and started to go to sleep again. f.
 But laughter, hushed as sud- denly, interrupted.
 "No, don't talk so loud" a girls voice said minute later. some one will hear" i It was Sarah Lou's voice. "But-but what in the world are you doing out there?" A mans voice, surprised, came into the room. ~
 It belonged to Kenneth Corbett | "Oh, but couldn't sleep," Sarah Lou said. "So I went out on my balcony and you were sound asleep -I couldn't help but see from the window-so I picked some of the porch roses and threw them in. Is that-indiscreet?"
 Not from you," Corbett ans swered. Hadn't you better go back to bed?"
 "Oh, no. I'm going swimming again. Alone."
 Tt will be alone if you go." the man. answered. II have to get up tomorrow and work. young lady. Now you hie yourself back to your own room."
 Your disposition isn't ,nice," Sarah Lou said.
 Not at two o'clock in the morning."
 | 'I'm lonesome"
 "Go to sleep and forget it."
 Sarah Lou laughed, small throaty laugh. T can't sleep. That's why I'm roving." l There was silence. Nobody spoke. Then Sarah Lou tried again. Swimming with me?" Certainly not. Go to bed. You are rather used to having every available male come dancing when you call, aren't you?" the man was asking, and his voice was 8 little indulgent. T don't though. It's the wrong balcony, Sarah Lou. I'm not going to get up and go I swimming" "I bet if Sue asked you" Sue caught her breath and held Jacks hand tighter. She waited for Corbett's answer. "Sue has some sense. And 1 wouldn't go swimming with any woman in the world. Venus de I uh bod n nrSA$Anvs Helen of Troy if she threw up the now. It's late" | "All right. If you're that cruel" Steps went down the balcony, | passed the window of the room where Sue and Jack were, and | died away. There was the sound of someone stepping into room. Sarah Lou, apparently. had taken the suggestion and gone to her own room. In the morning Sarah Lou was as gay and laughing as ever. She explained at the breakfast table that she had tried to coax Kenneth Corbett to swim with her but she couldn't lure him on to the ball. l cony.
 She's a nice child. Sue," the older man said in low voice. "She means well-but she hasn't much sense. Think you can give her some?"

to an extensive research made by Prof. Ellsworth Huntington of Yale, and Leon Whitney. American Eugenics Society. There are two chief biological reasons why. The man from the ranks ha- a larger number of commonplace ancestors than the man whose family has worn the purple for generations. Secondly, he has usually married a wife from these ranks before he achieves eminence. Thus a higher proportion of their children are likely to revert to the common place. Of course you cannot apply this to any particular individual, as there are many exceptions.

becoming angry and for some req son which he did not fathom the idea of Elinor flirting with Bob Telfare made him see red. He wanted to be as kind about the situation as man could be. Elinor was very young. Her up- bringing had given her no chance of knowing right from wrong.
 He thought suddenly how sweet she had looked that night when she called him to her bed side after their first quarrel and because this memory warmed him he felt a shame that he was learn- ing well. He could not love her, he was certain, knowing her as he had come to, and yet the faint est thought of her made his heart plunge and filled him with a deep and sometimes torturing hunger. Easy enough, he unused, if he weren't the sort to demand so much. If he could love woman he could not honor, if he could feed his hunger between moments of understanding and scorn. But he could not do that.

 The driver of the small car rather wished Barrett were not such a mice lookin', friendly chap" However, business was business. And maybe he had 1t coming to him! You never could tell.
 When Barrett alighted before the gateway of Gerald's new home, the Phillips place, the small car, which still followed, slowed and came to stop. The man who had driven 1t leaned out to ask the way to Benton.
 Barrett again saluted him. He enjoyed the casual friendship of the. road, the giving a hail to the voyager who would probably dis appear and never reappear.
 "I'm sorry" Barrett said. '"You've taken the wrong turn. You're miles out of the way, Pm afraid! I'm not certain myself of the spot where you cut east"
 
 Gerald came running from the house as the stranger mur- mured a perplexed, distressed, "Ill be damned!" He studied Ger aid as a man might who is think ing backward to find the turn he didn't take. His eyes seemed filmed by worry and irritation. but within him he was trium- phant. "The kid is a Cosvin." he thought. NO doubt of that! Same chin, eyes. sandy hair--"

Five Preparations Every Woman
 Needs for Her Dressing Table
 Every woman needs five prep arations on her dressing table. These, of course, are in addition to powder, rouge and other make up.
 A good cleansing cream is all important. Select one that has a thin texture. It should liquify the minute it touches your skin. Use it at night to remove the grime and dust of the day and again in the morning before you apply makeup. You can use cleansing cream and then rise your face several times with warm water. If you simply cant get along with out soap and water, use it first and then the cleansing cream. Tissue cream is an asset to any complexion. It should be com- posed of oils not animal fat - and is to be used at night after your face is clean. Every woman over thirty needs to use a tissue cream at least four nights week. It puts natural oil back into your skin and keeps your complexion soft and unlined. | A Skln IOuluS lOllOH ldhSS d
 seat of importance along with your other creams and lotions. It
 tones he skin and prepares it for
 makeup. Always apply it with
 clean cotton pads after you have cleaned your face. It removes ex- cess cleansing cream and is mild stimulant.
 Have an astringent for your chin and neck. Apply it to your chin by means of batter and to your neck with a cotton pad. It keeps necks from becoming f1abby and chins from developing into sets of two and three.
 A powder base is essential, too. There are various kinds, ranging from the ubiquitous vanishing creams to liquids. A liquid pow der base is more in favor than a cream. Use 1t on your nose. fore head and chin before you powder.

 It has cool sleevelessness. with accentuated shoulders, covering the upper arms modishly. And by the way, the cross-over revers brought down to the waistline minimize the width through the bodice.
 It's delightful in white or pastel tub silk. Have the plating done professionally. Or you can omit the plaitihg and finish with self or contrasting bias binds. N It's as simple as falling off a log to make 1t.

made calculations from previous research by pr H. L. Hollingworth. with a view to finding how we'll people could rate themselves on the following eight characteristics: Humor, Neatness, intelligence, Beauty. Refinement, Sociability. Snobbishness and Conceit. The most intelligent of the group rated themselves the most correctly on all the eight traits. They could even judge their own "Intelligence" better than the less intelligent ones.. Curiosly enough both the god and the poor thinkert were more correct in estimating their degree of "Sociability'' and least correct in estimating their Sense of Humor."

CHAPTER xxxIII

Lida, on her way .home from the detectives office, decided to drop in at Cleo's and try on the blue sports frock she had ad- mired. If her suspicious about Barrett Colvin were correct = and they couludn't be wrong-she could buy the frock and hat too. She would add them to her charge account and tell Cleo that in a short while she would settle for everything and make more pur- chases.
 She would be able to have everything she wanted, once she discovered Barrett's secret. The thought that Barrett migh refuse to pay her for keeping silent did not even enter her mind.
 Cleo, the proprietor of the fash ionable 57th street shop. was none too cordial in welcoming Lida but after a few words her slightly frigid smile became warm. Cleo herself was soon ordering sales women to bring out the newest imports.
 It happened that Barrett de- cided he would drive to Connecti- cut that afternoon. The day was fine and he had had to disappoint Gerald on Saturday because of work at the office. The boy had come to depend upon seeing Bar rett once a week and Barrett felt he had a right to depend upon this. ell ordered Hutton to bring around the roadster which he said he would drive himself.
 He wanted to be alone that afternoon He wanted to be able to think of Elinor without feeling that some one might steal a sly side glance and read his thoughts. Barrett felt that he must have an understanding with Elinor. He wanted to ask her to help keep the year without that taint that starts gossip.
 Marcia had told him the day be- fore that Bob Telfare had gone to Aiken. The casual information had made him stiffen with anger. It wasn't fair of Elinor, he de- cided. It was not fair! She had promised outward, if not inward, fidelity for year.
 The spring day meant nothing to him, driving swiftly and care- fully and considering how he could talk 1t through with chr. He felt that he must keep from
