So Chin-yen tilted her small pointed chin
and glanced haughtily to left and right and
found herself looking into the level dark gaze
of Tsen Wha! Tsen Wha in a belted gray tunic,
with his visor pulled down to his straight brows
and his young mouth set in sternly straight
line. and his eyes saying everything his mouth
denied.
Chin-yen stumbled at the high doorsill and
dropped her bag and thirty silver dollars rolled
and spattered everywhere on the threshold
She stood with her small hands dangling help
lessly, while all the guards stopped and hoped
about the threshold picking up money for her.
The tall new recruit was the one to snatch up
the Tai-tai's bag, large, foppy confection of
beaded pink satin. 1t lay over his hands and
hers as he presented it respectfully. The tip of
his finger drew across her wrist and she
walked through all the courts with the feeling
of burning bracelet invisible on her wrist
Tsen Wha loved her and had always loved her.
Then she remembered she was married to
the General -.
The General had war on in the western
part of the province Occasionally it was neces-
sary for him to give it his personal attention,
but only briefly He would drive away in his
motor-car (the brown one) and return safely
in few days none the worse but for red mud
plastered all over the car.
The house was quieter when the General
was away. There were fewer soldiers about.
and discipline slackened little When the
guard shouted "Shin-H!" it was a scattered
volley, not one thunderous report. Chin-yen
passing through the gate looked at the doorsill,

looked straight ahead, but her right shoulder
itched marvellously.
She lived in a precarious happiness these
days, keeping the thought of Tsen Wha apart
from all else in her mind.
Her mother had invited guests for her, and
all the afternoon Chin-yen bowed and smiled
and repeated pretty phrases of courtesy appro-
pirate to the Generals Tai-tai. In the tall mir
ror panels she saw herself in her long violet san
slit to the thigh over pale jade-green trousers
She ssp the long earrings swaying from her
ears. her small pretty hands with their rings,
her forearms circled with bracelets. To her

pirate gestures docie, pleasing to her lord.
The Generals great house occupied most of
the space between four streets. Court after
court extended deep into the hollow of the
block Hundreds of people came and went, for
it was populous as village with the Generals
retainers. The house was never friendly to
Chin-yen. 1t ramifed in tortuous passages and
walled courtyards, and there were closed doors
she never opened. She could never grow ac-
customed nor feel that she had right there
She was lonely. There was nobody to talk
with. 1t was not possible to talk with Chin
yen's mother. That ladys words flowed like
river, steady, powerful and inexhaustible And
as for the man she had married, it never oc-
CURED to Chin-yen to talk with him, he was
so imposing
She sent for the laughing girls who had been
her schoolmates. They came when she invited
them They stared and whispered among them
selves in awed admiration, and made polite
little responses half rising from their seats re-
spectfully, when she spoke 1t was useless -
she could not talk with them. She was the
Generals Tai-tai, and there was a great dis
tance separating her from them.
She was invited to this great house and that,
and obedient to her mother, Chin-yen arrayed
herselftoout- dazzle other guests. These women's
parties were all of sameness. There were end
less sessions of mahjong which Chin-yen
played well enough, but even the stake of
silver could not redeem the monotony of idle
talk and shrieks of silly laughter. Chin-yen
was bored and lonely. Something must happen
to break this spell. She could not continue like
this
Chin-yen gathered up her winnings and ex-
cused herself from the party, for the women
were done with gaming and were spinning end
less gossip. As her motor car (the small,
light-blue one) came to stop at the Generals
great gates, Chin-yen drew together her COM
posure as she would draw her furred cape
around her, and assured herself, II will not be
startled. | am expecting it and will not jump.
will put up my chin and look through those
men as pass. am the Tai-tai."
For day and night at the gateway the Gen
erals soldiers stood guard, stiffly straight in
belted gray uniforms Whenever she went in
or out, they snapped to salute and shouted all
together, "Shin-iir' 1t was as terrifying as
thunder. If she could only press her hands over
her ears and duck her head and scuttle through
- but that would not befit the dignity of
Tai-tai.

but the girl must be half
witted who would not be
overjoyed On and on.
There was no escaping her
mothers insistence. If
Tsen Wha had loved her
he would have understood.
If he had loved her as
she loved him, he would
have given her instead of
bitter reproaches a men,
ory of tragic remuneration
to keep with her through
the long lonely years.
Something very beautiful
and sad. Something po-
etic to remember in the
moonlight and the star
light.
Or even - she caught
her breath at the audaCity
of her imagination - oh,
if he had loved and dared
enough to defy them all!
"Chin-yen, you belong to
me! You're mine!" But he
had stood before her tense
and straight, his hands
Clenched, and he had spo-
ken cruel, soaring words.
Tsen Wha did not love
her. and she had married
this man who was growing
more than a little drunk
by her side, and all women
in the city must envy her
the wealth and position
she had as the Generals
Tai-tai. She had put be-
hindher all childishregrets.
She would behave even in
her thoughts as befitted
the Generals Tai-tai. She

 Still others had used patent medi- cinesc ontaining drugs without ef- ilciency, and had spent their money without any result except damage to health.

GRIP IS LA GRIPPE AND so
 IS INFLUENZA

lS INFLOENAA
 Casual readers may or may not have noticed, but because of my trade I have noticed that once or twice 6 year for the past ten or fifteen years some savant has at last discovered the germ or virus of the common cold, whatever that may be, and now 1t is all over but the cause and cure, for "it Is ex- pected" that the new serum will conquer the mythical malady. As a rule the front page savant who beats the others to 1t has not even thought of @ serum; he is content to make page one as Is. By my reckoning-and I've kept tabs only eighteen years -- Aunt Polly has twenty-tWo discoveries of the cause of the common cold to her credit and not less than fourteen hypothe- tical serums which never got much behind the front page. Aunt Polly is the old girl who initials 50 many of the funny medical yarns.
 Influenza outbreaks are difficult to measure. The official public health reports or records seldom tally with popular rumors or state ments in the public prints. The state of the weather has a good deal to do with the matter. Just as a hot dry spell brings tremend- ous casualties from "heat prostra- ton" so a cold damp cloudy season sets the gossips to moving ern down with influenza. It is hard for any one to die from other natural cause than heat prostration or influenza when there is a contest on.N Indeed 1t is unpatriotic, and so the heat prostration or the grip spreads like Wildfire for week or two. One who contemplates dying of apoplexy or angina pectoris had better wait un- til the flu Is less fluent, unless he wants to be figured in the news papers of a rival city as another thousand victims of the flu.
 Since the great epidemic of 19l8- 1919. when the scourage called in- fiuenza or flu" brought quick death to 50 many civilians as well as mili- tary recruits, there have been four schools of thought regarding the nature of the disease. First, 1t is a specific infection due to Pfeiffer's bacillus; second. 1t is an infection by a green-producing stretococcus; third, 1t is due to minute filter

NO GREASY CREAM FOR
 OILY SKIN
NEA ServlceStafR Writer

NEA 0CGVhgCON8n VAASGA
 The woman with oily skin should spend the bulk of her beauty bud- get money on lotions, masks and special greaseless creams which, if used faithfully, will shrink the pores and check the flow of excess oil. She can leave creamy founda- ton lotions and rich tissue creams to her dry and normal skinned sis- ters. These So.called nourishing products have no place in routines to alleviate oil.
 Masks are recommended for all types of skin, of course. Whether or not they benefit your particular type of complexion depends on the way you use them. For instance dry skin should be patted with rich cream before Q mask is ap- piled. Clean the skin, put on cream, remove, then smooth on the mask. When the mask is dry, rinse of and use lavish quantities of cream again.
 Oily skins, on the other hand, should not be creamed either be- fore or after. In fact, they need cream only after long exposure to cold wind or brilliant sunshine not at any other time.
 Naturally, oily complexions gen. erally show rather large pores. For this reason, foundation lotion should be 8 medicated variety with astrin- gent properties. Tn addition. pore cream ought to be used at night.
 If the oily condition is in an ad- vanced stage, forget entirely about cleansing creams and clean with soap and water at least three times day. Incidentally; practically every skin ought to be washed with soap and water at night.

Today's Health Question

Q.--I am 54 years of age. About six months ago the skin on the back of my hands became loose and would not snap back. My muscles also have become fiabby, and some of my teeth have become sen sitive to pressure, If this is old age, why should 1t come on SO?
 A.-There Is some loss Of muscle tone and also a reduc- ton in the fatty layer of tissue under the skin as persons grow older. This may account for the apparent looseness of the skin on the hands and the ap- parent fiabbiness of the muscles Age, however, does not account for sensitiveness In the teeth. You should have your teeth ex- amined by a dentist. You should also have a thorough physical examination to ascertain the state of your health and should repeat this procedure each year.
