“The Gates of Silence”
By Meta Simmtns, Author of “Hushed Up"
TODAY’S INSTALLMENT.
■lt won't be for long, Bess.’’ he 'had
whispered to the child in parting. "Keep
yo ur courage up—your granddad’s look
ing after you.”
Since the departure of the child and
the loneliness which had descended on the
•hop and its upper rooms, that old habit
of the lonely, of speaking aloud, had re
turned to Jex. It displayed itself in
many only half-coherent exclamations
and mutterings this morning, as he sat
huddled up in a heap reading with an
absorbed Interest the columns devoted to
the Rimington case In his daily paper.
The press had taken up the Rlmlngton
case
Why, it was difficult to say, seeing that
public opinion at the trial had been so
notably against Rlmlngton. Perhaps be
jause of that very reason—perhaps for
the sheer sport of championing a lost
cause. Most probably, however, because
those acute brains which juggle with the
things of life and death and the destinies
of nations had foreseen the capital which
might be made out of a woman’s broken
heart—out of that last scene in court and
those words which had not been spoken by
the woman who was known to have loved
Rlmlngton.
Untold Evidence.
"Evidence was being held back.” "Some
one was silent who ought to have spoken.”
That was the burden of the accusation
against the prosecution which the great
paper that had espoused Rlmington’s
cause hammered dally into the minds of
Its hundreds of thousands of readers. It
called him the legal martyr, and the
phrase stuck. Rimington, the Legal Mar
tyr very little else was discussed at sub-
urban tea tables; In the clubs and city of
fices the tide, which had been strong
against the condemned man, began to
turn. The free and enlightened Briton
Is enormously influenced by his feminine
belongings, and so far as the women of
England were concerned the tide in favor
of Rimington, and the agitation for the
intervention of the home secretary in his
favor, was in full flood.
"It'll be a reprieve. Leah," Jex «aid,
smiting the paper he held with his open
hand.
He sat staring at the rusty stove, where
the coals were glowing now to a red heat,
and their light was not brighter than the
sudden glow in his eyes; their heat not
greater than the heat of the hatred that
burned fn his heart.
If Rlmlngton, the man condemned to be
hanged for the murder of the money
lender in Tempest street, were reprieved,
that would give him, Samuel Jex, time to
perfect the work he had In hand. Other
wise, with the sands of life running out
with every moment, it would not be pos.-
tlble—at least not possible in time to save
innocent blod.
Samuel Jex stood up sharply, so sharply
and abruptly as to dislodge the cat crouch
ing on his shoulders. Usually so nimble
footed, taken by surprise, it fell, striking
the floor sideways and uttering one of a
cat's rare cries of pain. The old man did
not, vouchsafe it a glance. Instead, he
raised his hand above him with a fiercely
dramatic gesture.

Anty Drudge Causes a Panic in
Washboiiers.
inty Drudge— “ Well, well, well 1 So my work is beginning
to show even in the store windows. \A hen I see
washboilers offered at half price, 1 feel as
though the women were thanking me for releasing
them from the slavery of the old-fashioned washday,
with its back-breaking rubbing— its ruinous boiling
—and its sickening smell. For Fels-Naptha changes
washday to play-day.”
Modern progress hasn’t forgotten the
woman at the tub.
Fels-Naptha proves that.
Time was when medicine wasn t con
sidered good unless it was strong enough
or tasted bad enough half to choke the
patient.
Some folks who don’t know about
that new way of washing think that wash
day must be a day of seething suds, scald
ing water, perspiration and general misery.
But Fels-Naptha is converting these
people who have been tied to the not
good-enough method.
You see there is away to wash
clothes summer or winter in cool or luke
warm water, away that saves your
strength, your time and your temper, and
preserves the garments from the ruinous,
fibre-destroying boiler.
That way is the Fels-Naptha way.
Look for the red and green wrapper.
“Lord, forbear to strike,” he said aloud.
“Hold Thy hand for yet a little time
longer.”
Ills hands fell to his side suddenly, his
rigid body relaxed, and he stood in an at
titude of listening. They were shouting
newspapers In the street—the first edition
of the afternoon ..papers damp from the
press. He notice* that there had been a
recrudescence lately of that forbidden
raucous shouting of newsboys.
Shuffling through the shop, he opened
the door, and, standing on the step, list
ened.
"Acshun by the 'Ome Secretary.”
The roaring voice died away; silence
settled down on the deserted street;
silence that was presently broken by a
steady tread of distant footsteps, that
sound which here had always the strange
effects as of an echo heard, from some far
off thoroughfare. Wrapping 'his plaid
about him. Jex stepped onto the pavement
and looked down the street. A man was
coming toward him; almost before he saw
him, it seemed to Jex that he had known
who the walker was—Paul Saxe.
Saxe had a newspaper in his hand. The
still damp, pink sheets were tossed and
crushed by the wind that had striven to
wrest them from his hand when he had
opened it at the corner of the street.
His face was pallid with the ugly gray
pallor of the olive skinned.
For once Samuel Jex forgot to vouch
safe his usual servile greeting to his mas
ter.
"So they’ve reprieved him?" he said,
and the very tone of his voice was
changed. •
Paul Saxe looked up. The eyes of the
two men met, and, just for an instant,
the evil souls of them looked out at each
other through their unveiled eyes.
Saxe was the first to recover himself.
He crumpled the paper into a ball and
flung it into the street, where the wind
pounced on its new plaything and sent it
hurtling before it around the corner.
“Mr. Rimington. you mean. I presume?”
Saxe asked. "1 suppose one dare hardly
call it a reprieve—but there’s to be a
legal delay of some sort, I understand.
But If It's to be compassed there will be
a reprieve--! have been working to that
end night and day. '
"Ah! 1 ’ Samuel JeX turned to lead the
way into the shop. “You were always
a generous gentleman, sir,” he said, and
as he spoke his nose carne down too far
over his pale lips, and his tufted eye
brows raised themselves under the ab
surd smoking cap, so that he looked like
some ugly laughing satyr come to life,
masquerading in this wilderness of streets
in an embroidered smoking cap and a
check plaid shawl.
In the Tolls.
Betty Lumsden stood at the window of
the drawing room at the Croft and looked
out over the ruined garden.
From where she stood she could catch
a glimpse of the river, leaden-looking and
turgid under the gray sky. The trees
which in summer hid it from the windows
were as leafless as in November. These
last weeks had wrought sad havoc in the
country and riverside gardens. Three
weeks of alternating rain and high, fierce
winds—sometimes to Betty, waiting alone
here in the house by the river, it had
seemed as though the very heavens wept
at the sight of the injustice her silence
had condoned.

By HAZEL DAWN.
IHAVJ3 been asked to.give my par
ticular secret for beauty to the
readers of this paper.
I don’t believe that I have any es
pecial formula for beauty, but if I were
to sum up in a word the quality which
to me is the greatest beautifler of the
human face, I should call it happiness.
Happiness expresses itself in laugh
ter, and to me the laughing face is the
prettiest of ail. .
I have always cultivated a Sense of
humor and done my hair up in a sim
ple way, and whatever good looks I
have, have been enhanced by both
characteristics.
I have seen many girls who ought to
be pretty, and whose natural expres
sion was glum and depressed, or who
had overtopped their small faces with
masses of false hair, bandeaux and or
naments until;, they were anything but
attractive.
I think yourH’ace expresses your hab
itual and characteristic train of
thought. You can’t have..a disagree
able, unlovely disposition and expect to
look like Lillian Russell, who is Just as
amiable as she looks to be. On the
other hand, even If you haven’t classic
features and a Cupid’s bow mouth, if
you radiate good humor and affection
those qualities will shine in your face,
and no matter what kind of a complex
ion you have, or how straight your hair
may be, some people in the world are
bound to think you are a dear, and a
few will think you beautiful to look at.
So my advice to the girl who wants to
be beautiful is to laugh and be merry.
A Great Tonic.
Laughter is the greatest tonic In the
world, and the greatest natural beauti
fler. lam always glad to hear the au
dience laugh, not only because I know
that they appreciate the work of the
actors on the stage, but because It is so
good for them. Worry makes one old,
laughter rejuvenates.
Laughing is just as good, an exerciso
as deep breathing, and you’ll never find
a person with a hearty ringing laugh,
constantly laughing at something or
other, who hasn’t a prettj- good pair of
lungs. If you want to be pretty, be an
optimist.
If you want to boa stage success, be
an optimist, and if you want to succeed
in the career of home-maker, be a
double-dyed optimist and cultivate a
laugh.
We can’t all be Mark Tapleys, but a
good many of us can cultivate his op
timistic point of view. That is certain
ly one thing the stage will do for you. A
stage career is full of ups and downs,
of worries and petty irritations, no
matter how successful one may be.
Now, if one is going to be tempera
mental and let. everything worry one,
when the curtain rings up tn the even
ing there is no vitality left with .which
to give a gocd performance for which
the audience has paid admission.
So the actress by and by begins to
take things more easily and neither
one-night stands nor bad food and poor
lodging on the road can ruffle her spir
its, She refuses to be annoyed, and if
she is upset or nervous she is sufficient
of an actress In every day life not to
show ft, but te assume the happy ex
pression for which she is celebrated,
and which is one of h< r business assets.
Women who laugh a great deal stay
young longer than those whose faces
are sad, severe or even ui-rely earnest.
The severe expression tends to.length
en the face, and It always pulls the
corners of the mouth down. These
long lines are the lines of tragedy
and age. The mouth that turns up is
the mouth of youth and comedy. No
woman needs to grow to be middle
aged with those deep lines at the
lower corners of the mouth. Those
lines come because one is too severe
or has worked too much, or even been
a little cross, when with a well-de
veloped sense of humor and-a little
will power one could . have turned
those self-same dropping' corners up
ward.
Not Worth While.
Have you ever caught a glimpse of
yourself suddenly when you were
walking by deep in thought, and looked
up to see your reflection in the shop’s
mirror? Have you realized sow severe,
cross and anxious you looked? Do you
know that because you couldn’t match
a sample of ribbon your face took on
the annoyed expression of an elderly
cross-grained prime minister?
Is it worth while to make ugly lines
in one’s face just for trivial things, as
we women are constantly doing?
The dressmaker disappointed us, and
we frown a whole day. Now, by de
veloping a sense of humor, you learn
that it Is the nature of dressmakers
to disappoint, and you avoid this trial
by ordering your frock a long time in
advance.
A sense of humoi, dogs a great deal
toward helping one tb be charitable
to one’s neighbor, and I think that
charitableness and kindliness are re
flected in the face sooner than any
other thoughts.
The skin may be disfigured with
scars and marks, but if the spirit be
hind the face is a kindly one people
are bound to see a certain beauty
striving to. express itself.
When I said I believed in a sense of
humor as a particular beautifler I also
added that I always did my hair plain.
You will seldom find a girl with a real

If nature has been very stlngj’ with

nice hair cover up I their own tresses

the coarse long hair comes from, that
I wonder if they have any idea how
ridiculous they look.
For stage purposes ft is often neces
sary to wear artificial hair, because the
efforts on the stage have to be heavier
and stronger than in real life. That
is why one is forced to paint and make
up because the strong electric light
makes even the healthiest complexion
look ghastly. A few soft natural curls
on the forehead wouldn’t be seen from
the back row of the orchestra, so
heavier artificial curls are often used,
but the girl who thinks that she is
beautifying herself by adopting these
artifices and bringing them into the
light of day is very much mistaken.
She shows that she lacks a sense of
proportion and a sense of humor. The
latter saves one from many a foolish
mistake which the seeker after beauty
is likely to make.

Daysey Mayme and Her Folks
By Frances L. Garside
THE VACATION HABIT.
I DON’T see,” grumbled Lysander
a John Appleton, helping his
daughter on the train, "why
you can’t be content with putting a
cinder in your eye, and staying at
home."
But other girls take trips every
summer, and Daysey May me has to do
as other girls do. The other girls also
have to do as other girls do, making
an endless chain no father’s protests
can break.
Daysey Mayrne had practiced for her
trip by sleeping for three weeks on
the pantry shelf. For this reason she
awoke refreshed after a night in her
berth, and hastened to the dressing
room, every' muscle trimmed for the
fray.
Reaching the dressing room, she
hung a skirt on every nail and spread
out her toilet articles so that they
covered all the available space in
front of the mirror.
Other women burst in the door—five,
six. seven, nine of them —but Daysey
Mayme tightened her straight front and
pinned on her back curls with equa
nimity. They tried to get a peep at
the mirror, but she brushed them aside
like so many flies.
They struggled to get near the wash
bowl, but Daysey Mayme pushed them
out of her way to give her finger nails
another dip, humming a gay tune all
the while.
They grumbled, which prompted
Daysey Mayme to experiment with five
shades of .pink powder on' her ears,
looking critically in the glass at each
effect. .
One woman dared remove one of
Daysey Mayme’s skirts from one of the
five hooks. Daysey Mayme smilingly
threw the woman’s skirt on the floor
and replaced her own.
When every curl was in place, every
braid pinned on »at just the right
angle, and she had finished with her
powder can and fastened the last hook
to her dress, she collected, her toilet
articles and slowly walked out, leav
ing seventeen women fuming at the
delay.
"Monopoly of the dressing room is
one of the ways a woman has for
showing she is a Great Traveler,'*
mused Daysey Mayme.
She was enjoying the reflection that
