THE OrEOBGMMS MAGAZINE PAGE “The Gates of Silence” Ry Meta Simmtns, Author of “Hushed Up" TODAY'S INSTALLMENT. The Red House. Just for a moment, as she looked at him in the clear candlelight of the Croft drawing room, the man who spoke to her in such kindly accents, with so deferen tial a sympathy, had loomed up before Betty's eyes in a terrible guise. An en emy—a man who had trapped her father and destroyed him —a man who wished to make capital of her distress and her need, that he might destroy her, too. She hardly knew how she had got rid of him— how she had performed that hardest of all tasks, the parrying of offers of help, but what she bad known with perfect clearness was that she must seek a sanc tuary where he would not dare to intrude —she must find a protector for herself. Before Saxe had left the house Bet ty's thoughts had fled to the widowed I mistress of the Red House—to Jack Rim ington’s aunt. There had never been much intimacy between them. Like Rim ington himself, she had always felt that this was a woman whose real life was interior and remote from the world in which she moved; as a child, she had often wondered at Toby Rimington's te merity in playing his boyish jokes upon her, yet she had never taken them amiss —she was kindly. She was a good wom an, if a reserved one. It was not possi ble that she could refuse to help her in her present distress. The gates bf the Red House stood open. That was a fact that ought to have sur prised Betty, had her thoughts not been flying like scattered sheep before the wolf of fear. There were deep ruts on the gravel of the drive, as though some heavy vehicle had recently passed up or down. Betty, as she reached the front door, saw that it stood open and realized with a startled dismay that the old stone hall ♦ w r as dismantled and empty, save for the debris of straw and paper that a removal leaves behind it. "Mrs. Rimington!” With a little gasp ing cry of relief. Betty sprang forward and accosted the figure of the mistress of the house, who, in bonnet and cloak, with heavy veil covering her face, was crossing through to one of the rooms. "I—l had no idea you were going away.” "Why, Betty!” Mrs. Rimington turned, putting back her veil. There was sur prise in her fyes as she looked at the girl who stood on the threshold, for Betty, in her panic, had seized a lace scarf and wound it about her head; but otherwise I she was in the thin house dress she had been wearing when Saxe called. The evening was sharply chill, but until that moment she had not been conscious of it. "My dear child, I hope nothing has hap pened. You look terribly upset.” “Everything has happened,” Betty cried, with a great tearless sob. “And now you are going away, Mrs. Rimington. Oh. I don't know what I shall do! I” She broke down completely, hiding her face on the elder woman’s shoulder, blurt ing out the story of her father's death, blurting out something, too, of the fears that had driven her there tonight. "I hoped—l prayed—that perhaps you would take me in—give me shelter,” Betty whispered. "For—for Jack’s sake.” She could feel a quiver run through Mrs. Rimington’s slight form. A Noble Act. "My dear child, you know how gladly I would have helped you; but I am going away. Didn't you know that? lam leav. ing Weybourne forever.” There was a perceptible hesitation in her voice, and she continued, almost hardly: "I am going into the country. No, Betty, why i Homemade Beauty Aids (By Elia Ellis in The Arch.) "If you dissolve an original package of mayatone in a. half pint witch hazel you have a true complexion beautifier that will make your skin smooth, clear, satiny and free from blemish. Gently massage the face, neck and arms with this simple lotion and you will be delighted with the improvement. It is better than face pow der. i “Put four ounces of powdered orris root in a fruit jar, add an original pack age of therox, shake together, and you have a perfect dry shampoo powder. Sift a teaspoonful on the head, brush through the hair, and it removes dust, excess oil and dandruff. Therox makes the hair grow long and luxuriantly, and keeps it soft, fluffy and lustrous. “To make a hair remover, mix pow dered delatone and water In sufficient quantities to form a paste. Cover the hairs on face or forearms with the paste, allow to remain two minutes, then wash the skin and the hairs will be gone. This method is sure, safe and speedy.

I have taken a house near—near Bilmouth. I want to be near Jack. It has come to me that it is my duty.” “You are going down to Bilmouth to be near Jack?” Betty Lumsden repeated in a startled voice. “Oh, Mrs. Rimington, how grand, how noble of you!” There was a hushed note in her voice, and she looked at the woman before her with eyes full of reverence, as a child might look at some suddenly vouchsafed vision of an angel. "Don’t speak like that; I detest effusive ness and emotion." the widow said harsh ly. “There is nothing in the least splen did in doing what is your obvious duty. I believe my nephew to be a wrongfully accused man, and as such his imprison ment is not a punishment, but a martyr dom. I can do nothing to help him; I have no money to spend in trying to es tablish his innocence, and I am certain that it would be money uselessly spent if I had. But I have my life that I can give to his service—the hours of the long days to spend in prayer for him. It will save him from losing all hope to know that somewhere, very near, within sight and sound o fhis prison—there is one faithful heart that believes and watches.” Betty made a sudden impulsive move ment of her hands. "But it is splendid,” she said. "Most splendid, Mrs. Rimington. I would give all that I have to do what you are doing —for the joy of such service.” Deborah Rimington laughed. "For the joy of living in a three-roomed cottage on a desolate moor, my dear Betty?” she said. “Os living on practical ly prison fare, of rising and seeking rest at prison hours? I doubt—l greatly doubt —that even your love for Jack would stand that test.” "Try me!” cried Betty. She moved for ward, her hands clasped in entreaty. "Give me the chance. If you have any pity for one who is desolate and op pressed and full of fears, give me the chance. Let me come with you—as your servant. I ask for nothing better. I ask for no charity, for no wages; let me come just as your servant—for house room and food.” Deborah Rimington's eyes glowed sud denly beneath the veil, drawm low on her brow, that all but shrouded them. "I’ll give you the trial," she said, grimly. "But don't cry out if you are hurt. You've lived as a princess, Betty Lumsden; you will have to learn to live as a herdsman’s daughter at my cottage on the moor.” The girl gave a short laugh that was threaded with tears. "Ah, you don't know me,” she cried. "It IS much for a woman to do for the man she loves? It has been done before by brave women—by mothers—by wives”— “But never as I will do it,” said De borah Rimington. There was a gale raging out at sea; the noise of its great guns came echo ing over the desolate stretches of open moorland; the sparse-growing trees bent before its violence as It rushed inland; the barren fruit trees and stunted shrubs in the garden surrounding the thatched, single-storied cottage were bowed al most fiat a-s it whirled and eddied about the building, snarling and howling. Like an Evil Spirit. "It Is llkq an evil spirit, howling and threatening, demanding admittance," Bet ty Lumsden whispered to herself. She put her hands to her ears to try and shut outt he sound. She was weary of it. For the two weeks she had been at the cottage on the moor she had heard no other sound but this—save the far off clang of the prison bell. But It was not to be shut out—it seemed to have found an entrance to her very brain. To her life's end Betty Lumsden dreaded and hated the complaining, blustering voice of he wind. Only two weeks now since Mrs. Riming ton and she had reached this Isolated cottage which Mrs. Rimington had bbught within sight and sound of Bilmouth jail —weeks that seemed like years to the girl. The slow, dragging length of the days bit into her consciousness all the more clearly the realization of what those days "that are like a year” must be to the man she loved. Betty Lumsden was not a coward; she had counted the cost before she threw- in her lot with Deborah Rimington. Yet already she was begin ning to realize that it would take all her fortitude to keep up and not to faint with heart-weariness. Mrs. Rimington had taken her offer absolutely by the let ter; her position in the cottage was one of subordination. She had her own tiny bed room and the kitchen as her king dom: Mrs. Rimington used the remain ing room as her ow’n, coming out only for the meals shared in the kitchen, and speaking little. She had always been a silent woman, and Betty had neevr found lier silence oppressive until now. To Be Continued in Next Issue. Beauty Secrets of Footlight Favorites Hou' To Have Beautiful Tresses MISS DIANA OSTE. (One of the Ziegfeld beauties in "The Winsome Widow" Company.) By DIANA OSTE. QUITE a lot of people have asked me what 1 do to keep my hair looking so well, and to make it grow so long. Now-, I can’t say that I had anything to do in making it grow long. My hair always was healthy and strong, and it’s only since I’ve been on the stage that I realize that you have to care for your hair if you want to keep it in good condition. The l\eat of the dressing rooms, the paint and powder, and the quantity of cold cream one uses, all have their effect on the scalp, and they are not good for the hair any more than is dust or other substances which clog the pores of the scalp. The hair of the modern girl really does not get enough ventilation, and 1 believe that is one reason why there are so few fine heads of hair, such as we are told women used to have in generations past. In the first place, sunshine is an ab solute necessity for the hair, especially if it is light or has golden or ri di'.i.-'.i glints in it. You can notice right-;'.:.: y the difference in the color of the l-.air of a blonde if after a period ■ f l-,n;: confinement in the she ends a whole day in the sunshim wkinnit ■■ hat on. Whenever I get the chance I vt::ti late my hair, taking out all the hair pins and letting it down, running r.i. hands through it, so that the air gms to the roots. If I have the good for tune to be in the country, I don’t wear a hat at all, but go about with my hair hanging, letting the wind and sun shine act as beauty .agents. The Open Air. One day in the open air will lighten the hair up wonderfully, and the blonde who can stay out of doors will never need the aid of the peroxide bottle. But, of course, to lighten up i the hair in this natural way, you must let it down and brush and comb it fre quently, so that the light and the air will get to all parts of it. Bathing in salt water and then dry ing the hair in the strong sun will also lighten it considerably, but you must be sure and not try it too often, or the hair will become brittle and break off. So many people have brittle hail that it's no wonder people who sell bril liantine make fortunes at it. I have my own special way of oiling my hair, and though 1 don’t do it very often, I do it very thoroughly, as you will see. Whenever 1 have a vacation, especially if that vacation occurs in summertime, I get ready a couple of little caps, and, taking a bottle of good cocoanut oil, 1 go away to the coun try or some place where my friends "" ” To Develop the Bust To Beauty Editor: Hl am so ashamed cf my thin bust that I want to ask you if there is any harmless way to develop it. My hips and the rest of my body are right for the present styles, and I do not want them any larger, but my bust is so flat that I would try anything that gave hope of even three or four more Inches develop nent. MARY S The only thing I | hii.,w of that will develop the bust with out increasing the size of the hips, or without putting on flesh where riot need ed, Is a prescription put up by the Dr Kelly Company, especially for small at d undeveloped breasts It is the discover' of a woman physician whose practice was largely among her own sex. and in most eases Increases the bust measure from four to six Inches in a month. Send 10c to the Dr. Kelly Company, Dept. 322 Hi’. Buffalo. N Y., and they will send you a trial package of the treatment without charge. This Is said to be of great value In cases of arrested development of the bust and will give a full, beautiful form without anyone knowing that the treat ment was used. Many mothers have told me that after the baby had been weaned the breasts be came flabby and shrunken, But the use f Dr. Kelly's prescription made them full and firm. Do not use pads or bust forms as they never look natural and have a i bad effect upon the general health. Noith ■er would I recommend ordinary flesh I builders or tonics, as thby increase the I hips and limbs and with the present sty les I the form should be slender everywhere | -xcept a generously developed bust.' are not likely to see me. There I sim ply saturate nty hair with the oil, rub bing it thoroughly into the scalp and into the ends of the hair as well. When it is quite drenched I braid it in ttvo braids, wind it round my head and put a cap of net over the hair so that it won’t look unpleasan: or come down. Whenever I can conveniently do so, without startling the neighborhood, 1 sit out in the open air and take the cap off, and ventilate the hair and scalp. At night I wear a little cap of oilskin to protect the pillow, and I leave this oil on for at least a week and sometimes two. Then when I am ready to come away I shampoo my hair thoroughly with hot soup suds made from soap bark, and dry it in the sun. For months it keeps a beautiful gloss, due to the thorough oiling it received, and I never have to do a thing to it. I find that if I worry much, or am ill or dispirited, my hair shows it al most immediately, and has to be oiled again though not as thoroughly, of eo'urse, as during vacation time. Lots of times hair that is a little mr ly will get perfectly straight because 1 it 'acks i a ishment and oil. and a lit- I : hair tonic or eocoanut oil will re i store th ■ curl. 1 told ■: ; irl to sun and ventilate her "air and she vent out and sat in the Up-to-Date Jokes \ rural magistrate, listening to the ; testimony of the witness, interrupted him. saying: “You said that you made a personal examination of the premises. What did you find?” "Oh, nothing of consequence," re plied the witness. “‘A beggarly ac count of empty boxes, - as Shakespeare says.” “Never mind what Shakespeare said about it,” said the magistrate. "He will be summoned to testify for himself if he knows anything about the case." They had been having a little tiff. “Oh, of course," said he. wrathfully, "I am always in the wrong.” “Not always,” said she, calmly. “Last week you admitted that you were in the wrong—” “Well, what’s that got to do with it?” he demanded. "Nothing, except that you were per fectly right when you admitted it.” she replied. When the young physician’s motor car reached the scene of the accident there was nothing to do; all the vic tims had been so slightly hurt that they were able to* walk home. The young doctor was keenly disappointed, but his chauffeur spoke up cheeringly: ■i "Never mind, doctor. I’ll run down | some business on the wav home."

It was very painful, and besides it faded her hair. When you air your crowning glory, as the beautj books call it, don't sit in the broiling sun un less you have plenty of hair to cover your scalp with. Where the hair Is thin, the skin is likely to be badly burned. One of the worst things for the hair is tile small modern hat. No ventila tion gets in, and after this fashion changes, I know the hair dressers will reap their reward, for almost every one will need false hair. I have always found that when the hair falls out too much it is due to two things—-indigestion or not enough shampoo. I have never failed to reme dy the trouble immediately by trying both cures. Os course, it’s aw fully hard to shampoo long hair one’s self, but when there is no hair dresser handy I can do mine quite well by braiding it in two braids and washing one braid at a ■ time. Careful Brushing. Often it is very difficult to keep one's hair in good order and the scalp clean, . especially “on the road.” At such times I make up for it by brushing my hair • about twice as much as 1 would ordi narily do and by keeping my brushes very clean. I always have two hair brushes —one wire one for brushing out tangles and the other a bristle brush for polishing and oiling the hair. The reason why most brushing is virtually useless is because the brushes are not kept clean enough, and one is just brushing the dust in again. When you are brushing your hair to clean it. rub the scalp over with a clean towel or a piece of linen. If the hair is very dusty, dip the linen in bay rum and rub the scalp thoroughly. You can use a soft tooth brush, if you prefer. This will keep the scalp in good con dition even if you have to let it go s< '. ’r:il weeks without shampooing the hair, and it’s a good way to do when you are ill and not. able to have your head washed.

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a young man of 21, and have been keeping company with a close friend one year my senior for near ly three years. We have been working together at one place and living under the same roof. We have spent this time very happily. Two weeks ago my friend left for Chicago for a higher position. Now I am alone and would like very much to gain the acquaint* ance of some nice girls. B. S. A. There are always nice young girls in the church societies. I think that is a good way to make acquaintances. Have you no men friends who will stand sponsor in introducing you to their friends?
