SYNOPSIS.
At a. first night performance in
fieeut Turk, a beautiful young
woman attracts attention by rising
a?<d leisurely surreyiuy the audi
ence through her glasses. Claver
ing, a newspaper columnist, and
hie cousin, Dinwiddle, are particu
larly interested, Dinwiddie declar
ing that she is the image of Mary
Ogden, a belle of thirty years ago,
who had married a Count Zattiany
and lived abroad. He is convinced
that this is Mary’s daughter, but
all efforts to establish her identity
prove futile.
Clavering, determined to find put
who she is, follows her home from
the theatre one -night. Luck is
with him, for she has forgotten her
keys and he helps her get into the
house. She asks him in and finally
tells hint she is the Countess Josef
Zattlany, a cousin of .Mary Og
den's; that she had married a rela
tive of Mary’s husband; that Mary
is ill ip a sanitarium in Vienna.
Clattering is skeptical.
Though maintaining a strict
aloofness from society, Madame,
Zattiany continues to attend t’l,
the first-nights at the theatre.
Clavering meets her there a few.
nights later and engages in spirit-,
•d and friendly conversation.

“But that is very fine. ... I
go to the matinee a good deal and
1 am often very bored. And 1 have

with the desire to learn as well as
to be amused. I wish so much to

illumination! It is quite remark
able how well most of your authors
write —but merely well, that Is. So
few have individuality of style.
And even in the best authors I find
nearly all of the heroines tbo young.

"Well-'-youth U a beautiful

her owh beautiful face. “But, if
you will notice; many of our novel

iifry their heroines over into their

hear their sigh of relief when they
get them there.”

with a deep sigh of content. "But

softly.

"I may-7-somo time, if you will

“oh, I assure you, our cog

"1 am sure of it,” she said gia
eloualy. “I have an idea f t

table here?" r
“Good lord, yes!"
“Well, you see them on every
aristocratic table in Europe, loy
alty not excepted.”
“One more reason for revolu
tion- »Ob! Hang it!" •
The lights had gone out. Clav
ering half rose, then settled him
self back and folded his arms. A
man stood over him. "Just take
my seat, Billy, will you?” he asked
casually of the eminent critic. "It's
only two back.”
The eminent critic gave him a
look of hate, emitted a noise that
resembled a hiss, hesitated long
enough to suggest violence, then
with the air of a bloodhound with
his tail between his legs, slunk up
the aisle.
“Will you tell me how you al
ways manage to get one of these
prize Seats?" asked Clavering at
the fall of the second curtain.
“Nothing in New York is more dif
ficult of attainment than a good

“Judge Trent lias a pull, as you
calUt.’
“That explains it. There has
been almost as much speculation
on that point as about your own
mysterious self. Well, this time I
supose I must. But I'm coming
back.” - •
He gave Mr. Dindiddle his seat
and went out tor a cigarette. The
foyer was full of people and he
was surrounded at. once. Who was
she? Where had he met her?
Dog that he was to keep her to
himself! Traitor! He satisfied
their curiosity briefly. He ha>
pen cd to know Judge Trent, wh ■
was her trustee. His acquaintance
with the lady was only a week old.
Well, he hadn't thought to mention
it to such friends as he bad hap
pened to meet. Been too busy dig
ging up matter for that internal
column. Yes, he thought he coUli
manage to introduce them to her
later. She had brought no letters
and as she was a Virginian by
birth and had gone abroad in per
chi I dli cod and married a foreigner
as soon as she grew up, she knew
practically no one in New York
anil didn't seem to wish to know
any one. But he fancied she was
getting rather bored. She had
been here for a month—resting—
before she even want to the the

until the past week. ...
He kept one eye on the still re
sentful Abbott, who refused to mi
hatice his triumph by Joining hfs
temporary court, and. Slipped away
before the beginning of the last
acl, Dinwiddie resigned his seat
with a sigh but looked flushed and
happy.
"Poor old codger," thought Clav
er lai as he received a welcoming
smile, and them he told her of the
excitement in the foyer.
■ “But that is amusing!" site said.
”,How naive people are after all,
even in a great city like New
York,"
"Oh. people as active mentally
as this crowd never grow biase.
however they may affect it. But
sfinelw you had your triumphs in
Europe.”
“Oh. yes. Once an entire bouse
—it was at the as 1 eu

act. But that was a thousand
years ago—like everything else be
fore the war."
?‘Thht must be an experience a
woman never forgets."
"It is sometimes sad to remem
ber it.”
"Dinwiddie tells me that your
couslu, who was Mary Ogden,
once had a similar experience. It
certainly- must be a sad memory
.or her.” »,
"Yes, Mary was one of the great
beauties of Europe in her day—
and of a fascination! Men went
mad over her—but mad! She took
growing old very hard. Her hus
band was handsome and attractive,
but —well, fortunately he preferred
other women, and was soon too
indifferent for Mary to be jealous.
He was the sort of man no woman
could hold, but Mary soon cared
as little about him. And she had
her consolations! She could pick
and choose. It wag a sad day for
Mary when he left her for younger
women.”
“But I thought European men
were not such blind worshippers
of youth as we are?”
"Yes. within reason. Mary was
too 'hiellectual, too brilliant, too
well informed on every subject
that is discussed in salons, not to
attract men always. But with a
difference! Quite elderly women
in Europe have Batons, but alas!
they can no longer send men off
their heads. It is technique meet
ing technique, intellectual com
panionship, blowing on old ashes—
or creating passion with the im
agination. Life Is very sad for the
women who have made a cult of
men, and the cult of men is
the European woman's supreme
achievement."

WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed with Sulphur It Darken*
I So Naturally Nobody
Can Tell
The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grandmoth
er's recipe, and folks are again using it
to keep their hair a good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as we are liv
ing in an age when a youthful appear
ance is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don’t have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
uct, improved by the addition of other
ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound.’’ It is very popu
lar because nobody can discover it has
been applied. Simply moisten your
eotnb or a soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
I hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur
Compound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few applica
tions, it also produces that soft lustre
and appearance ot abundance which is

WHAT, WHERE, WHY
IS YOUR COLON?
The Most Critical Part of Your
Anatomy and Physiology
You are a wise man or woman if
you understand your colon and keep
it in perfect working order. Health,
happiness, vigor and long life are
the gifts which an active colon gives
you—and a lazy colon takes away.
But, back to our question:—
What is your colon; where is your
colon; why is your colon? Listen at
tentively for only a minute and you
may learn something that will add
twenty years to your life.
Your colon is the last five feet
of your digestive canal. It is xrour
sewerage system; your garbage can,
so to speak. Keep it clean and you
are well and happy; let it stagnate
' and it will distill the poisons of
■ decay, fermentation (gas) and pu
: (refaction into your blood, poison-
I ing your brain and nerves so that
you are restless, irritable and blue;
i poisoning your heart so that you
I are weak, listless and lazy;
I poisoning your lungs, so that your
! breath is heavy <oul; poisoning
! your stomach and digestive or
! gans so that you are bloated, belch
: ing and uncomfortable with gas
; pains; poisoning your blood so that
unhealthy; poisoning every part and
your skin looks yellow, sallow and
organ of your body- through your
blood, making you look and feel old
and ugly long before your time;
making your joints and your back
stiff and rheumatic, your eyes dull
and your brain sluggish.
By the perfect law of Nature,
your colon should empty itself three
times a day—within an hour after
eating. Does your colon work that
well? If not, it has lost its tone.
What do we mean by tone? Your
colon is a hollow muscle. Its walls
are made up of long, muscle fibres
