CHAPTER SIX
'T'll CO." said Patricia list
1essly. I'll even wear that
dress"
Don't you want to try it
on? Maybe it will need some
altering" suggested the other in
q more gentle tone than usual.
Something in the girls eyes
made her vaguely uncomfort-
able.
I'll wear it as it is" Patricia
said fatty. II don't care how
I look tonight"
Nor did she. When 9 o'clock
came she donned the evening
frock with the same lstless
spirit with which she had re-
ceived it. The dress was a trifle
large. Black was not her color.
The neckline was too daring for
18 years. Patricia. did net care.
Ordinarily she would have
ripped off the large silk roses
that decorated and ruined
the waistline; ordinarily she
would have scorned the cheap
dramatics of black and red on a
red-haired girl. Not tonight.
Bill MCGEE, who arrived
promptly at ten, was loudly
delighted with his choice in
gowns and girl. He had been
drinking a little and was OBJ
viously prepared to celebrate.
Tonight, Patricia thought to
herself, the small time gang
ster might really have passed
for a big time gangster. Dia-
mond studs sparkled in his
solitaire, flanked by a ruby,
adorned the small finger of his
right hand. A silk handker-
chief edged in purple peeped
from his pocket, a muffler,
similarly edged, was suspended
over his arm. He wore a slave
bracelet.

Advice For
The LoveIorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Sent To Bed Before Company
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Though I'm only 16 I work
for my living, and live at home
with my mother and stepfather.
Mother says he's old-fashioned,
and right before my girl and
boy friends who come in to
spend the evening, he will tell
me to go to bed before 10
o'clock. If I go out I must be
home at 8.
Last summer I met a boy
and liked him better than all
the rest, but he had to go back
to school, where he's a senior.
At first he wrote regularly,
but he doesn't any more, and
I hear he has a girl in his own
home town. I don't. know
whether to write to him or
not. I'm very miserable about
all these things. Yours,
JEAN.
Your mother, being on the
spot and thinking your STEP
father is too oId-fashioned
about your bed time, should
take him in hand. And agreed
with her that a girl who earns
her own living should be given
a little more liberty and not
ordered to bed when her friends
are present. You and your
mother might both try talking
to your Stepfather together,
and see if you can bring him
to a more reasonable point of
view.
1t might be all right for you
to send the boy you like an
amusing letter, even if he has
let one of yours go unanswered,
then if there is no response you
would not of course continue
to write. AS you know, friends
always have the privilege of
writing. Write me again and
let me know how things are
getting along. -

The Beauty
Box
By HELEN FOLLETT

1t is not a good plan to use
cold cream on the lips before
using a lipstick; oily ingredi-
ents thin the coloring sub
stance. All right to apply an
emollient at night; there are
special ones, unscented. that
are compounded for the pur-
pose. Glycerine and rosewa-
ter, equal parts, form a pleas
ant solacement, the combina-
ton does away with dryness,
heals little shags that girls love
to nibble when they're nervous.
Newest colors in hpstick are Of
the raspberry order, though
they don't suit all shades Of
compilations. Best to stick to
the color one has found salts
factory and becoming. Ver-
million is out of the picture.
When eyes are tired bathe
them first with warm water,
then with cold. Dip a bit of
gauze-a good sized piece-in
ice cold water, place over the
eyes, let it remain until the
flesh is steaming hot, then re-
peat. Ease strained vision by
taking a long distance look at
the sky line. Don't sew on
black fabrics at night; even
if eyes are strong, that is a
trial for them. When reading,
have the light come over the
shoulder so there will be no
direct glare on your soul Ian
terms. If eyes tire frequently
seek the aid of the special
ist; you may need glasses.

Fashion Fancies

Simply smart but simple is a
flowing negligee of white chif-
fon over a white form-fitting
taffeta foundation. 1t is laced
up the front with a narrow blue
satin ribbon that end in a big
bow at the waist.
Out of the past appear many
fashions merely brought up to
date. A new frock is a tunic
model of black and white plaid
taffeta with big puffed sleeves.
There is a high ruff collar and
big bow of black velvet buttons
trim the front of the frock. The
tunic Is long with a pleated
flounce beneath.

Secrets Of Health
By LOUIS E. RISCH
Famous Authority on Health and Psychology

The reason for writing this
article is because the number of
persons who harbor a craving to
act in the movies is astounding.
The fame and notoriety that
goes with being a star on the
silver screen motiVates some;
others think of the fat pay
checks that would enable them
to make a splurge";; what psy-
chology calls "eXhibitionsm"-
the urge to show oneself off
likewise makes an appeal to
many. Then, of course there is
the impulse to act, to pretend
you are somebody else, plus the
pleasure of being admired which
goes with it-all traits that we
possess since childhood.
It is usually women who as
pire to become movie stars
rather than men. Not that the
male sex is immune to the temp
tation, however. But when they
do feel that way they are apt
to hide the fact from their
friends.
One reason why the feminine
gender is SO keen on a motion
picture career is because it
is apt to think that the essen
tials for success are a pretty
face, an alluring figure, plenty
of sex appeal and, perhaps,
friendship with some director
or movie magnate who can
maneuver the proper lntroduc-
tions. With these assets must
go, to be sure, the luck to
photograph well.
Unfortunately for some movie
aspirants at least. the matter
is not so simple. Nowadays,
in fact-and the "talkies" had
a lot to do with this-face,
figure, a pull" and all the
rest of it are as nothing COM
pared to genuine acting talent
and the ability to know how
to handle the English Ian
guage.
Should you care to check up
on your own possibilities for
the silver screen I would sug-
gest you answer the following
questions:
It may be that you actually
do possess the necessary re-
quirements. Surely the stars
who adorn the screen must
themselves have had such a
conviction before they started.
Be sure, however, to be abso-
lutely truthful with yourself.
If you are in doubt about any
answer it would be a good plan
to consult those who know you
well before you make de-
ciSion.
/. Are you proficient at imi-
tating others?
2. Have you an expressive
face?
3. Are you able to control
embarrassment?
4. Do you think you have
style? BY this I mean do you
know how to wear clothes well
and can you do things just a
little differently from the aver
age, at least enough to attract
attention?
5. Have you a good singing
voice?
6. Do you talk clearly and
do words come natural to you?
7. Is your emotional make
up such that you can make 1t

DIR. p his Diet Hint

Mutton broth is excellent for
invalids as we'll as for healthy
folks. The best method of
preparation is to chop a pound
of lean mutton fine. Over this,
with some of the bone and a
pinch of salt added, pour a
pint of cold water. Cook this
slowly down to half the guam
tity. The mixture is finally
strained through muslin and
the fat removed when it has
cooled. The broth may be
eaten as a jelly or warmed when
required.

Vets Predict Victory in Combined Polling on

has been passed to take effect if the vote is favorable. A vote on repeal of the state constitutional prohibition in its entirety cannot he had before 1885. Amendments can be submitted only at regular sessions of the legislature. The next will be in 1885.
 Former Governor James E. Fera guson first announced he would take the stump for ratification and the state beer amendment. Now he declares it is not neces~ sary. Repeal already has car ried," he said. Nevertheless wet headquarters are sending out warnings to their supporters not to be over confident.
 Chairman Predicts Victory
 c. c. Mcdonald. active chair man of the wet campaign predicts a wet victory. I've shall not have any overwhelming 3 to l majority as some of the less conservatives are claiming" he said, but in spite of shortage of campaign funds and other disadvantages, Texas is going wet. It will con tinue back Roosevelt all the way"
 w. A. Keeling. Austin, chairman of the convention at which a ticket of dry delegates was named makes no prediction on the out come. Whatever it may be-" he said, Texas is dry in sentiment. Present conditions and present in- fluences may cause many who are really dry at heart to vote wet. But at heart they are dry, and when present conditions change they will again vote that way" Dry leaders are counting upon this to keep the state dry through retention of state prohibition re- gardless of the national result.
 Expect Light Vote
 Leaders on both sides estimated that less than 600,0O0 votes will be cast. Depression and absence of any races for office this year resulted in many failing to pay the state poll tax which is pre- requisite to voting. Vets are counting on the city vote and South Texas. Drys pin their hopes on North Texas and the country.
 Prior to the 1919 vote that sent the state into the dry column two attempts to vote 1t dry had failed. In 1887 the proposal received 129.270 votes for and 22O,627 against. Tn 1911 the vote was close. It was. 231.096 for prohibi- tion and 237,393 against.

 Kate was overjoyed when teach CTS reported that her daughters had definite tendencies. Esther. slim, dark and rosy-cheeked. had a real gift for music. After several years of study at local conserva- tory she became a successful music teacher. Then she pleased her mother by marrying a young bank clerk and having a baby called Katherine Ann for Mrs. Bayless.
 Eve, a year younger, had a flair for composition and elocution. Hank grumbfed' every time he paid out money for music and elocution lessons but Kate stood firm. Grabbed old Grandmother Bayless insisted Kate was spelling her girls.

argued. "They will have plenty of time for that later. If they were lazy-yes. I do not boss them. I do not always understand what it is all about; the modern ways of teaching are different from when l went to school. My girls are al- ways doing something interesting and I think they will come through all right"
 But you wear yourself out for them, Kate."
 Kate would smile complacently and answer, "Yes? We'll, a doctor once told me that if a healthy woman did all her own heusework it would give her just the right amount of exercise"
 Eve caused most of her fathers perturbation. After she had had far more schooling than he had originally planned she rented a downtown studio and taught dra- matic expression. The venture lasted only one year but in that time she was able to save enough to take her to Lake City 500 miles distant where she enrolled in the , school conducted by the Lake City Advertising Club.
 Eve had taken the only job she could get, clerking in the basement of a department store. Her father. | figuring up the cost of Eyes educa- tion, grumbled when he learned how much she was earning. Probably do her lot of good, though" he grunted. "She can use some, of those six-cylinder words to sell bargains"
 In just what way this experience was to benefit Eve her father would have been surprised could he have heard her that same week deliver ing a protest against blatant adver- Using before her class. It hap pened that there were several ad- vertising executives in the audi ence and among them was Earle Barnes of Bixby's store.
 "That girl is made of good stuff" Barnes commented to the man be- side him. Months later he recog- nized Eve when she applied to him for job.
