Pitfalls Of Love By Adele Garrison

she put on her hat and coat,
went down the stairs on her
side Of the hotel, walked around
TO the other entrance. and went
up on that side 10 the twelfth
floor. then walked through TO
her own side and down the
stairway TO her own floor.
she met a mah. but laughed
and said she couldn't wait for
the elevator. SO that was the
way she found out about the
layout Of the hotel. and was able
10 get away so neatly.
The cabman was something
else again. She said she walked
for q long time before she saw
a cabman whose face she felt
she could trust. She engaged
HIM for the trip down 10 the
hotel, paid him, tipped him
royalty and told him that she
would pay him for his waiting
time. if he would wait and take
her back 10 Washington in an
hour or TWO.
Driver Agrees
He agreed willingly, and
when she had started back,
after telling the desk that she
mad, found she could stay over
night. she told him what she
wanted him 10 do, giving him
SO and telling him there would
he SIS more beside his fare, If
he did what she wished
She told him 10 be near the
Edwards house right after dark,
and 10 watch carefully for her
self and her friend 10 come out.
She told him she would not take
his cab, because she would have
telephoned for one, but that he.
was TO trail us wherever we went,
especially 10 a town in Mary
land. and then back 10 the hotel.
She especially emphasized that
as soon as we went in the front
entrance, he was 10 60 around
10 the other street and wait for
us 10 come out, and then that
he was 10 be prepared 10 get us
away from the hotel so nobody
could trace us. and then drive

CARING FOR 100 chickens,

she said. but l feel that since
help is needed so badly / Just

It's my contribution 10 the war
effort.

Word Of Appreciation

/ deemed II time 10 give her a
word OF apprecIative comment.
II only TO relieve the tense ST.
lence with which / had listened
10 her story. except when she
had asked me a question requlr-
ing an answer.
Il can well imagine how
Marion felt, ! said. But surely
she told YOU how she had ac-
compliShed so much IN so short
a time.
Yes, she did" Carolyn said
but II was like drawing rusty
nails out Of a board 10 &c, II out
OF her. But she finally told me
she had been determined from
the first. that If / should 90
through the wedding ceremony
with Rico, she would get me
away from him Immediately
afterward. She said she was
prepared TO feign so bad an i'll
ness that / would simply have
TO 90 with her. but that my
fright at Rico made il easy for
her 10 get away with what she
had planned.
SET the Stage
she told me-" Carolyn con-
tinued, that when she was sup
posed to be doing errandS for
her mother she was busy setting
the stage for the little drama
she had thought out. First, she
went down TO the Swanky hotel
just outside Washington. rented
a small room for a day, ordered
a lunch sent up, made a couple
Of telephone calls TO department
stores. and then. having noticed
that the hotel had entrances on
two streets, went out TO the Gle
vator operator and asked him
If there was any way of getting
from one side of the house 10
the other without going down
10 the street floor. She said
she had some friends on the
other side, and she didn't want
TO 90 through the lobby every
time she went over 10 see them.
"IIe told her the twelfth floor
was open all the way across, and
she thanked him. A little later

Accent Beauty
With Perfect
Makeup
BY DONNA GRACE

. MAKEUP WILL accent the
beauty of every girl if she learns
how to apply it. w While some
products may be more flattering
than others, all must be put on
with care or the result will be
unsatisfactory.
There is no great secret about
the makeup of screen and stage
stars. They use the popular
products but they take time to
apply il properly and learn all
the little tricks that mean
glamour.
When makeup is properly APP
piled at the beginning of the
day. it will last, under ordinary
conditions, throughout the day.
Powder and lipstick may be
used from time 10 time, but the
base of the makeup should re-
main smooth and perfect.
Cream Dry Skins
The face must be clean and
smooth. Soap and water wash
ing will do the cleansing but II
is necessary 10 use a lubricant
If there is any roughness. Dry
and mature skins always need
cream before the foundation is
applied. The cream is removed
hut the fabrication leaves the
surface smooth. The foundation
must be blended on evenly.
All screen and stage stars use
cream rouge after the founda-
ton. 1t gives the skin A more
natural glow than the dry
rouge. which is patted on after
the powder. First dot il on and
then spread up under the eyes
and down TO the jawline. Fade
out the edges thoroughly so
there is never the least sugges-
ton Of an outline.

Perfect Outline

VSince the mouth is the high
light OF all makeup, the outline
must be perfect. II there is any
wavering in the line. remove
every trace of it with soap and
water. tn g n begin again. Al

both the upper and lower lips.
The filling in is all that's needed

WHAT ABOUT PEACE PRODUCTION?

The United States may Ice able To swing
back tn son.c peaee-time production before
~ emo 81 he war in the opinion of Fred
erick II. Mcdonald. who writes in The Sat
urday Evening Post
lir. Mcdonald points out that war pro-
duclion includes three phases: CD the ere
alton %. necessary production capacity;
60 the manufacture of the huge amount of
equirmeu, required by cur armed forces !;
and. go thc Job 81 replacing equipment
expended hv he armed forces.
Tha writer points out that the first
phase s aboet completed and the job of
equippinr our Allies will be completed by
the enc 81 his year. and our own forces
Vill be Ill their maximum early in 1914.
Obviously. the diagnosis of production
IS corr-c but mo one knows what the de

Moreover. the opportunity to swing 10
pcacetine production depends a. much
