imprisoned in London, Henry
Raynham had had a sudden fancy
to possess something which he
could retire to occasionally when he was tired
out with the continued effort to get richer and

His wife had said to him. you've got the

He hadn't attempted to explain to her why
he wanted also the house on the sands. She
wouldn't have understood She would have
thought he was posing if he'd explained that
underneath the hard, clever and tremendously
energetic business man there was another man
"a furtive romantic who had at times wild
longing for Mature, strange desire to get
away from the shrek of materialsm. that was
almost mania. Luxury to this man meant
little, boisterous company less. He had within
him wild longing for Nature, and to him
Nature meant something unkempt, vast,

But the rabbit warren in which stood the
house on the sands did.
1t was strange place full of the fascination
of windy solitude. Up in the north it was, in
the world of the sea gulls. Inland there were
mountains. but they were many miles away,
deep purple mountains seen only as romantic
shadowy monsters. And the magic of the place
was the magic of immensely filed with the
mWmu or the roar of the sea.
Upon the warren full of sand and sea
grasses, Raynham had set bungalow. He
had found it at the Danish Exhibition in
London. When he had told his wife of his
purchase. she had said:

'Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"PleaSe tell me the customary
procedure for returning shower

When an engagement is bro

her former fiance all his pres
ents, the engagement ring, any
other pieces of jeWelry, photo

also returns at once all engage
ment presents or wedding pres

With these gifts she encloses
a little note of explanation that
since the engagement has been
terminated, she is returning the
gift that was symbolic of the
engagement. Even if there are
a great many gifts| they
must all be returned.

Wilma LavelIe you can do
many things with it. Beneath
the jacket is a plain dress with
little rundown collar. It's plain,
on purpose, SO that you can
carry out your own accessory
ideas.
Here are some suggestions.
Buy a metal kid belt with big
buckle, and a pin to match
pin the collar and wear the belt
as an ensemble. Buy a velvet
belt and luscious velvet grapes
such as we showed last week,
and wear them in a contrasting
color, purple, rust or green. The
effect will be stunning.
A scarf and belt set will be
equally good. They can be in
velvet, crepe or wool. A superb
suggestion, I think, is a scarf.
belt and gloves to match in rust
or wine velvet or velveteen.
Then if you want to go q step
further, buy another jacket and
belt that match, and which you
can wear over the dress for
variety. OF course, the jacket
that comes with it is smart, but
you might want a change.
Collar and Cuffs
Last but not least, a trim
white or cream linen turn-down
collar that fits right over the
dress collar, and narrow cuffs to
match, will tighten and brighten
the dress, and will give it quite
a different look.
That makes five or six dresses,
all starting from one. The other
dress in the picture has a bow
at the neckline, and does not
lend itself so well to changes,
but it is so chic in its original
form that I'm sure nobody
would want to change it. Both
of the frocks are in junior sizes,
by the way, and are most mod
estly priced for their many
virtues.

may prove almost as popular
as the meat.
The choice meat is on the
breast and the legs. The wings
are small and for small duck
ling are usually removed before
roasting. If your duckling is as
small as three pounds, allow one
half bird for each serving.
Right now there are plenty
of Long Island ducklings in the
Washington markets. Those
from Long Island come tagged
with the farm where raised and
give directions for cooking. At
present, the smallest size is four
pounds and up.
Other ducklings not boaSting
the Long Island stamp are in
abundance and are just as good
for this recipe.
You can judge the freshness
of duckling in much the way
you would chicken. The better
birds are plump with smooth
skins, light cream yellow in
color and slightly moist. There
is no odor.

Beauty
Making Most
Of Make-Up
By DONNA GRACE

There are a lot of interesting
things to say of the fall and
winter makeup, but before we
tell you about the glamorous
makeup of the more formal so
cial season, we think you will
be interested to know just what
is in good taste for an everyday
makeup.
We are laways receiving re-
quests for a set of rules or a
routine that one can follow
every day from the time OF aris-
ing until bedtime.
Many of us have learned long
ago that all makeup must be
individual if it is to add to our
charm and beauty. We no longer
use a haphazard daub OF rouge
and powder that may or pos
sibly may not be in keeping
with our style. We have &C.
quired the subtle art of express
ing types. Study your own
individual type and features.
We will not have space to give
you all types at this time, so we
will begin with the brunette with
an average or round head. This
type may not need cheek-rouge
at all, but when used, the paste
rouge is applied over the temples
and brought out on the cheeks.
The daytime rouge is put on
so delicately that it will seem to
be just a natural glow, and it
must be blended very carefully
so there are no markings or out
lines. It is sometimes necessary
to rouge the eyelids lightly so
they will harmonic with the
cheeks.
When the rouge is nicely
placed, apply the powder directly
to the skin, as you cannot use
a liquid powder base with paste
rouge. Be sure you have the
correct powder. Many of us are
inclined to select a lighter
shade than we should have.
There are so many accurate skin
shades you can be sure to find a
flattering one, but try a darker
one than you generally use. The
rachel shades and dark ivory are
correct for brunettes.
The lipstick must be of the
same red as the cheek rouge.
Mascara should be used when
the lashes are not as dark as the
brows, and even then it may be
used to darken the brows and
lashes if one finds it makes the
eyes more expressive. The
brush is used damp, never wet,
and no trace of mascara may
touch the eyelid-only the upper
lashes are done.
The powdered or dry rouge
may be applied to renew the
makeup during the day.

Universal Trait

To hold someone, anyone, re-
sponsible for our bad fortune,
even if it is Of our own making,
is rather an universal trait. And
you don't have to be a william
or a villainess to have a touch
Of this very human character
istic.
Masculine bullies and femi-
nine scolds have no art in con-
cealing these unlovely traits.
The more developed Of the hu-'
man species are able to camou-
flage this characteristic under
various DISCUSSES. Sometimes it
crops up under the head OF
health, nerves, overwork, or a
lack of appreciation. Anything
but our own ineptitude.
The wonder is that Magistrate
MacGillivray understood human
nature so well that he turned
away the three perspiring young
couples who came to his court
seeking divorces.
The weather was warm, eX-
ceptionally warm for Canada,
and the nerves of the young
couples were raw. In adjourn
ing the cases for eight days
the magistrate intimated to
each husband and wife in turn,
with some good fatherly advice,
that they would probably be-
come reconciled when the
weather was more favorable.
"Of course, If you can't bury
the hatchet in eight days, then
the law may have to take its
course" he declared. "But it's
likely we may have a good
rain before the eight days are
up," he added with a twinkle.
All said and done, wisdom
may be defined as the applica-
ton of horse sense. When
Solomon, believed to be the
wisest of men, decided to cut
the baby in two and give half
to each of the claimants, he
knew, of course, that the real
mother would waive her claim
and the imposter be detected.

Think Things Out

Solomon did not befog the
issue with legal verbiage, leav-
ing plaintiff and defendant to
wonder what it was all about.
He applied good old-fashioned
sense, and sent his name ringing
down the ages as the wisest Of
men.
Horse sense is there for the
taking. if we would only avail
ourselves of it. Think things
out instead of flying to the di-
vorce court to hurry things up.

The Canadian official, who

quite as important as a knowl'

posed that even without the gas
troscope we are impoverished
in our means of diagnosis. The
history in most cases of Stom-
ach trouble is so characteristic
that it alone allows us to make
a diagnosis in most instances.
Besides that, we are able to ex-
tract the stomach contents and
examine them chemically, and
the X-ray has been Of great aid
in diagnosis.
CHEMICAL CHANGE
Treatment also has advanced
in late years. Most stomach
troubles are due to the changes
in the chemical secretion of the
stomach, and these can be neu-
tralized or supplied as the ne
cessity arises.
In this chemical treatment OF
stomach troubles, we pay more
attention to the acid of the ston1-
ach than to the digestive en-
zymes. 1t is peculiar that pepsin
has not been used more in medi'
cine.
The first use of pepsin was in
1851, when DR.. P. w. Ellsworth,
of Hartford. Conn.,, was treating
a patient who had an obstruc-
ton of the gullet or esophagus.
One day the boy tried to swal'
low a bit of meat and it became
wedged in the structure so that
he could swallow nothing else.
All efforts to remove it were un.
availing, when DR.. Ellsworth
thought if he applied some stom-
ach juice it would dissolve the
meat. And it did.
Pepsin as a medicine, to come
up to the United States stand
ards, is required to digest 5000
times its weight of coagulated
egg albumen. What a wonderful
substance, and yet it is little
used today in medical treat
ment.
QUESTIONS FROM READERS
READER: "Is bOric acid
good eye wash, and should 1t
be used daily? What is the
cause of the eyeball looking yel-
low or partly so? What is the
cause of ones upper lip being
swollen in the morning."
Answer: Saturated solution Of
boric acid is a standard eye
wash and is very good. 1t
should not, however. be used
daily unless there is some indi-
cation for it. The eyeball may
look yellow when there is a
jaundice present, or sometimes
