* 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." » The familiar skeleton seemed to 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 I spring time and 'help put the sun to | as she used to say. I am very lonely without her sometimes. Forgive me for speaking of her so much, but you are always so patient with me and I feel”—he stopped and smiled sadly There was no hope for it now, and '( Many Delightful Ways of Serving Spaghetti.

"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.

( sV/ ■■■ • 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.

' help her by example and instruction. ’ 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 Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE EAIREAX.

"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.

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.
