* Hunting a Husband *
NO. 10—THE WIDOW'S FAVORITE SUITOR DEVELOPS TWO TRAITS
THAT TURN HER UTTERLY AGAINST HIM
SOME five minutes elapsed, while
Beatrice sat alone and looked out
over the sheen of the Hudson
and watched the procession of river
< raft gliding by. Then Maynard re
turned without his importunate friend
and seated himself with a laughing
word of apology.
Rossiter's realty a capital fellow."
he said, half-deprecatingly, as though
he had guessed her estimate of the
man. "A little uncouth, perhaps, but a
diamond in the rough."
"And. like most uncut gems, is not
1 » taken by society at his true worth?"
| ~ asked the woman, smilingly, but with a
thin vein of spite in her tone. She no
ticed on Maynard's breath the acrid
I aroma which she fancied she detected
earlier in the afternoon, stronger now
—the odor that her married life with
Tom Minor had made hateful to her.
■ She had guessed from Rossiter’s man
ner what “the business matter” was
that had taken her escort from her, and
she was a little hurt and displeased at
his temporary desertion.
“Oh,” the man protested, laughing
again, “Rossiter has that rough, un
conventional manner which all West
erners affect, but underneath he is
pure gold, generous to- a fault, and,
■ fortunately for him. wealthy to a dis
l graceful degree. I’ve always been
I mighty fond of 'Roaring Bill,’ as we
I used to call him at college.
Then Maynard branched off into a
I tale of his friend’s university esca
® pades which made Beatrice laugh in
| spite of herself. “He was always
I climbing out of the frying pan to fall
I into the fire," he finished with a
I chuckle. “And.” sobering suddenly,
| "he was very fond of my dear wife.
They had known each other all their
B lives."

Beatrice to be on the verge of again
I dominating the conversation, and, at
rhe risk of being considered unsympa
thetic, she directed her companion's
attention to the crimson globe of the
sun. hanging in the city's smoke over
rhe distant Palisades. She had never
felt any particular interest in May
nard's deceased wife, and since this
afternoon's return to the place the dear
departed had loved so well had not
proved such an ordeal to the widower
that he hesitated to drink there with a
boisterous friend, she had little toler
ance with his pose of bereavement.
A Widower’s Favorite Topic.
But a widower launched upon his
favorite theme is not so easily diverted
from it. After Beatrice’s attempted in
terruption of his trend of thought lie
looked out Into the glowing west for
only a moment or two in silence.
“She loved the sunsets here," he said
at last, in a tone of dreamy sadness.
| "We used to come up often In the

lonely without her sometimes. Forgive
me for speaking of her so much, but

the woman, with a weary spirit, once
more took the part she had played so 1
often.
"Dear friend," she said, smiling at
him with eyes slightly moist. "I under
stand—l, too. ha' e suffered." she added
with a little sigh. “Perhaps the good
that comes out of our suffering is that
we can comprehend and sympathize
with each other's sorrows.”
The man looked at her with some
thing more than gratitude. She col
ored under his gaze and turned her
eyes toward the river, waiting for him
to speak. When he did it brought her
back to earth and things earthly with
a shock
"Ah, here at last is o,ur tea!" he ex
claimed in his natural voice as the
waiter deftly arranged teapot and ac
cessories on the table. “Are you sure
you want a hot drink on a day like
this?" he queried doubtfully as she
raised the lid of the teapot and the
steam arose in a cloud.
"Yes, Indeed!" she answered. "I
don't think 1 could exist without my
afternoon tea. I take it always.”
“Well, on second thought, it you don’t
mind. I will take something cool." said
Maynard. “Driving was dusty work
and my throat feels like a newly mac
adamized road. Waiter! a Scotch high
ball!"
"Oh," Beatrice said, hesitatingly, as
the seltzer foamed into the tall glass of
ice, “do you really care for that?”
“As old Jake Van Winkle, out in Jer
sey, used to say, ‘lt ain't the taste, it's
the sperrit what’s in it,'" he laughing!'
replied.
“But isn’t It bad for you?” she asked
tentatively. "Don't you become depend
ent upon it?”
Let the Matter Drop.
“No more than you do upon your
tea," he answered teasingly.
She said no more about the matter,
and he turned the conversation to other
things. They sat long over the table
and Maynard ordered another high
ball before they left. Always a facile
talker, he was at his best today, amus
ing. witty and quick with retort. It
was almost dark outside when Beatrice
reluctantly said it was time she was at
home, and, arising, prepared for de
pa rt u re.
In a few minutes the pair were again
seated in the smart trap and rolling
rapidly eastward toward her home.
The air was a little chilly now, and
the high strung horse snorted eagerly,
evincing a desire to bolt, which forced
Maynard to keep a tight grasp on the
reins and brought a sharp word of
command front him now and then.
Beatrice was chatting gaily when the
horse, frightened by a boy on roller
skates, who darted past his head, shied
violently. In a second Maynard had
pulled the whip from the socket and
cut him cruelly along the flank. The
horse leaped forward, but the merciless
grasp on the reins threw his hea.d high,
and he could only plunge and shrink
under the rain of blows which the man,
now white with rage, showered upon
him.
The scene lasted for only a moment
or two. but it seemed hours to Helen,
as. with hands pressed against her
cheeks, she flinched at each angry hiss
and cut of the lash. She looked ap
pealingly at the man. but his face was
hard and set and his lips contorted into
a cruel smile. When the beating had
tired his arm he laughed a short, ugly
laugh.
"Now, behave yourself!” he ordered,
as he replaced the whip in the socket.
Helen was silent the remainder of
the way home. Maynard was gay and
did his unsuccessful best to make his
companion smile. But she was grave
and taciturn. AU her life she had
loved horses. Her father had raised
them, and she had known them from
her babyhood. She remembered what
her father would have said to Maynard
had he, instead of she, been the wit
ness of the cruel scene. She found it
impossible to talk as if nothing had
happened.
As Maynard helped her from the trap
she thanked him politely, but coldly,
for the drive and the pleasant after
noon. Then, before Maynard could
climb again into the trap, she stepped
swiftly to the horse's head, and laid
her cheek against the velvety, quiver
ing nose.
When the widow reached her own
apartment and her own room she stood
still for a moment feeling faint and
weak. She recollected with a sick shud
der how once, when Tom Minor had
been drinking, he had beaten a dog he
owned.
HOW GRACE BENSON
BECAME FAMOUS FOR
THE BEAUTY OF HER
HANDS AND ARMS
Free Prescription That Can Be Pre
pared at Home Without Expense.
Grace Benson, famous for the mar
velous beauty of her hands and arms in
a recent interview, says: "If I could
tell every wonuin about the prescrip
tion that has caused all this talk about
my hands and arms they could every
one of them make theit hands and
arms just as beautiful as mine. I am
glad to have the opportunity - to give
my receipt free to the world. It will
help every woman to improve her per -
sonal appearance."
When I asked her if she would al
low me to publish the prescription, slu
quickly answered: “Certainly, only tu-’r
glad Io have you do it." Turning to
a desk, site w rote it on a slip of paper
and handed it Io me. Here it is: “Go
to any drug store, get m empty two
ounce bottle, also a one-’ounce bottle
of Kulux Compound Pour the entire
bottle of Kulux into the two-ounce bot
tle, add quarter of an ounce of witch
hazel*. then till with water. Apply night
and morning."
She further said "This prescrip
tion makes the skin tiansparent and
remove- all defects, such as freckles,
tan, sun spots, roughness and ruddi
ness. A single application works a
marvelous transformation. Where low
collars are worn It can be applied ti
the neck with equally as startling re
sults It Is absolutely harmless, and
will positively not stimulate or pro
duce a growth of hair."

• THE GIRL WHO CONTINUALLY GIGGLES.
THE most beautiful girl 1 ever saw
was a young American girl of
German descent. Every artist
in town wanted to paint her. but they
and the rest of the community would
have been perfectly satisfied if she had
never spoken a word, for the minute
she opened her mouth her charm and
beauty vanished as if by magic. She
literally had tpe voice of a peacock.
If you have never heard a peacock
scream, or whatever you call that noise
it makes, take the first opportunity you
can to go to the zoo or to some garden
where there are peacocks and listen to
this beautiful bird making an unspeak
ably ugly noise. After you hear the
peacock scream, you will know why
the dove, with its gentle and beautiful
voice, is the emblem of all that is sweet
and lovely, while the peacock is Just an
ornamental monster.
The greatest charm a pretty girl can
have Is a low and musical voice
No matter how pretty you are. you
can't afford to neglect this especial
charm, and no matter how homely yon
are, vou will never lack attraction if
you have an agreeable voice.
There is no reason why every girl
should not cultivate a good speaking
voice, and there'is absolutely no excuse
for the ugly, nasal squeak perpetrated
by some Os our girls and called speech.
Voice Is the Man.
"The voice is the man himself," said
a celebrated poet, and we are all judged
at once by our voices and our speech.
More and more attention is being paid
to voice culture In’ the public schools,
and every girl whose attention is.called
to the necessity of training herself to
speak well will find some one who can
Do You Know
That
Macon county. Alabama, is said to
have a larger area of land held by
negroes than any other county in the
South. In 1909 negroes owned 01.689
acres in Macon Liberty county.
Georgia, the next largest in negro land
holdings, the area was 55.048. while in
Louisa county. Virginu. the third coun

The new system adapts pen, ink and

’ The most common fault we have is
: speaking with a nasal twang, or speak-
■ lug through the nose, as it is called. It
I is wrong to say that one talks through
I the nose, when one makes this ugly
> sound, because as a. matter of fact, one
; doesn't talk through the nose; one Is
: pinching the nose, so that the sound is
partly cut off from It. People speak
■ this way from a kind of habitual iazl-
> ness. and no one has to continue in this
i bad habit.
i One of the. simplest exercises for cul-
• tivating a good voice is to find out first
on what tones of the musical scale you
1 generally talk. Then take a very deep
breath and make the vowel sounds a. e,
i, o, u. on these tones of the speaking
voice. By taking a deep breath, and
floating the tone on the breath, you will
be forced to place your speaking tone
right. People who speak with a nasal
twang don't breathe deeply, and don't
have a good pressure of air, as a sort
of bellows under their speech. Take
some simple little poem that you know
and repeat it. breathing deeply befoie
each word; exaggerate the words
slightly, making them softer and lower
and rounder In tone and quality, than
vou habitually would do. You will find
in a short time that your voice will be
come more musical, lower and sweeter
in quality.
A great many girls have ugly voices
becaue? they are really too lazy to open
their mouths when they talk, and to
annum I: te carefully with their lips.
Beautiful enunciation makes a good
shaped pair of lips, and to pronounce
words carefully and distinctl.v will Im
prove the shape of the mouth, besides

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 18 and have been keeping com

I We had a quarrel over some trifle and
i didn't see each other foi two months. I
met a very good friend of liis with
whom I as-ociaied these two months.
This made mv friend very angry, so lie

'i.-.oii don't know '■ ht> b that is. this is
sure: You don’t hive either.
THAT WILL BE EASY.
r Dent Miss Fairfax:
A young man and I have been keep
ing i ompany for about a year. He
hav been greatly .admired by my moth
er We parted Since then I have been
going out with different young men and
have seen a difference. 1 would like to
1 regain Ills friendship, for I know he
I has m>t been going out with any on*,
els. A READER.
He still loves you. Your mother ap-
• proves and you realize that you love
him,
Surely under these favorable cir-
. employees he always took the girls who
sopke nicely and w ho had pretty voices
and gave them the best positions.
"A girl W'ith a pretty voice can charna
i the most irate customer and soothe the
angry shopper. But If you put a girl
• w’ith an ugly voice behind the counter
s no matter how' good her disposition i|
that voice is against her. A good voice
: is a first-class business asset,” said this
man, and long before him the poet said:
"’Twas an excellent thing in a woman.”
I love the girl who giggles when site
Is young, and 1 must say the grown
woman giggler Is usually a bore, and
the giggle loses its music w hen the girl
gets out of her teens. A charming
laugh, enough but not too much of it.
Is part of the attraction of the pretty
girl. But there are very few women
who laugh musically.
i remember listening to a class of
girls learning to laugh. It was a terri
ble ordeal Some of them cackled, some
of them guffawed, only one or two suc
ceeded in producing a laugh that wa»
joyous and musical.
Listen to yourself laughing, keer
your ear keen to your own defects, and
find out whether your laugh Is musical
or ugly. You can correct an ugly laugh
without making yourself affected and
self-conscious.
Don't laugh all the time, hut when
you do laugh, laugh heartily and with
an open throat like a child. The child's
laughter is beautiful and perfect. It is
onl.” when we try to laugh at things
that aren’t funny and when we becotn?
self-conscious that our laughter lost
the natural joyous quality which it hac
when wo were children, and another
charm vanishes.
eumstaneos it will bo easy to win him.
Ask him to call. Treat him as a good
friend, and if ho has any courage and
persistence he will see for himself the
happiness within his grasp.

Once again there was that subtle in- I
flection in Barrington’s voice that told ’
her of the easily awakened suspicion of <
an inordinately jealous man. Anthony. 1
who could not hear that she should so ’
much as’buy a handkerchief without his \

to read if be would. And. but for that (
one miserable episode of which Betty was jl
her sole confidante, it was trpe enough. <
She gloried in the fact. .She had taught i
herself to believe her husband’s credo
herself, telling herself that she had locked
the door of the past and thrown away
the ke.v
And now the door was creaking slowly I
on its hinges, swinging open, and all the
ugly, grisly specters were stealing out one i
by one. In somber procession.
It was not bearable. Heaven could not
be so unjust! A sudden spirit of revolt
rose up in her. She would not allow
the past to conquer -she would hang to
that door again, lock it fast on its ugly
secret. It must be possible. She would
fight for herßieace. for her happiness,
for her good name, to the very last gasp
She turned back from the table and
looked up at him smiling
“Well, then, it must just be some other ,
Mrs Barrington. Tony boy,’’ she said
“Eor certain sure it isn't for me. It’s aS
so much Greek to me and no less. Two
thousand guineas, indeed I don't even
think in such sums'.”
She spoke with a certain merry confi
dence. but her smile was not merry; Bar
rington saw that.
“I expect they got through to some

up in mistake.” she said, dismissingly
“Well, tell me what sort of a day yon
have had in town. I just missed you aw
fully, and that’s the truth. oh. Tony |
boy. I'll be glad glad glad when we i

She nestled against him for a moment

had caught her to him with a sudden !
fierce caress. She was not. as a rule [

’’By jove! it’s time she was out of
this'’’ Barrington said to himself. “Poor
little girl; nerves worn to fiddle strings.
Edith, who never cries!”
He was indignant at the of her
tears, that gave the lie to a cherished be
lief in the superiority of his wife over
other women in the matter of moods and
weeping But there was something more
than indignation in his mind. A certain
uneasiness that, if not suspicion, was
closely allied to it. F’or he hail come from
France he had been consccus of a fear
’hat something was troubling Edith
which she concealed from him through
shame or dread: nothing personal—but
some family matter, connected with Betty
or her father. Her unusual insistence up
on returnig to England without him—-her
obvious, not altogether pleased surprise
at bis unexpected arrival —Betty’s extraor
dinary seizure, not to mention Sir
George Lumsden’s behavior, that for the
last fpvv days was only to be drubbed ec
centric. The more be thought of it the
more convinced he was that Edith was
sharing with her family some trouble that
she dreaded to share with him.
"Poor little tender-hearted woman!"
His lips and eves grew very tender. He
longed to seek her out now and tax her
with this troublp. yet a certain loving
reticence forbade an intrusion upon it.
He must hide h’s time.
He took a couple of paces up and down
the room, his mind still wrestling with
the problem, and was brought up sudden
ly by the low chair from which Edith
had risen on his entrance, by the sight of
a criimpl- d piece* of cardboard lying be
side it.
The Card.
He bent and picked it up. He was
actuated by two motives in doing so—
curiosity and the dislike of a tidy man
for the sight of torn paper lying on a
sitting room floor.
It was a visiting card that his fingers
straightened out. A card which bore, in
neat commercial copper plate, the name
“Mr. James Bradford.” And in the corner
the further details. ‘Messrs Bradford &
