rather an unusual face, Madge
thought, as she observed him at
the serving table. II was long and
thin. deep lines running from his
nose TO each side OF his large-thin-
Tipped mouth.
His face had the masklike
quality of the perfect servant, but
his sharp gray eyes indicated that
he was a superior sort of a person,
a person OF intelligence and one
who undoubtedly had ideas of his
own, as carefully as he might
cloak them under his attitude OF
genteel servility. His head was
almost entirely bald.
When he had served them. he
left the room, but there were sew
eral Interruptions during the
course Of the meal.
Two different girls slipped into
the room. approached Mrs. Seldes'
chair. spoke to her in low tones.

answered.

Printed Dresses fer Bridesmaids
Dear Mrs. Post; Ny two brides
maids would like 10 wear light
summer print dresses. because
they could put them to greatest
use after the wedding day. OF
course I don't want TO make them
get useless clothes. But do think
the printed material Is less ef-
feetive. and I can't see how they

you any suggestions that would

II was exactly at one o'clock

II was Leah Seldes. and she in

the appearance of a castle perched

Mrs. Seldes herself met her at

moment in the reception room. led
the way TO the small dining room
adjoining II. Madge knew there
was a huge formal dining room,
too, back Of the drawing room
which was opened up for big
parties.
Leah Ssldes was wearing q

OLDER WOMAN MUST
WATCH HER GROOMING

She must cultivate the "not-a-
hair-out-of-place" look. A wisp of
hair. struggling across the fore
head. may be charming above a
young face with upturned nose.
But it will make an older woman
seem just plain dowdy.
The attrsctiveness of any ma
ture person is in direct proper
ton to her neatness and careful
grooming.
