THE QEOBQIANI'S MAGAZINE PAGE “The Gates of Silence” By Meta Simmins, 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 had 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 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 of 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 was 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 eyes 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 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, 1 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. 1 don't know what 1 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 J would have helped you; but 1 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 Home-Made Beauty Aids (By’Elia Ellis in The Arch.)

"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: 1 detest effusive ness and emotion.” the widow said Imrsil 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, b it a martyr dom. I can do nothing to help him; 1 have no money to spend in trying to es tablish his innocence, and 1 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 —I 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, drawn low on her brow, that all but shrouded them 'TH 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 flat as it whirled and eddied about the building, snarling and howling. Like an Evil Spirit. , , "It is like 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 w’as 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. Rimtng ton and she had reached this Isolated cottage which Mrs. Rimington had bought ' 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 i not a coward; she had counted the cost before she threw in her lot with Deborah Rimingtdn 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 own. coming out only for the shared in the kitchen, and speaking little.

Beauty Secrets of Footlight Favorites Hgiv To Have Beautiful Tresses WEPS - jmmu * ■F < ’ • lb MISS DIANA OBTE. (One of the Ziegfeld beauties in "The Winsome Widow” Company.) By DIANA OSTE. QUITE a lot of people have asked me what I 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 heat 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 I 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 reddish glints in it. You can notice right away the difference in the color of the hair of a blonde if after a period of long confinement in the house she spends a whole day’ in the sunshine without a hat on. Whenever I get the chance I venti late my hair, taking out all the hair pins and letting it down, running my hands through it, so that the air gets 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 w’ind 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 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 hair 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 I 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, 1 get ready a couple of little caps, and, taking a bottle of good cocoanut oil, I go aw«ay to the coun try’ or some place where my friends To Develop the Bust To Beauty Editor; am so ashamed of my thin bust that I want to ask you if is any Harmless way to .develop it. >My hips 'and the rest of my | body are right for the present styles, and 1 do not want hem any larger, but my bust is so Hat that J would •' anything that »•« ;,avp h °l»e o\pven three or four moru inches dcvelop , *K-nt.

Many mothers have told .me that after the baby had been weaned the breasts be came dabby and shrunken, but the use of Dr. Kelly’s prescription made them full and firm. Do not use pads or bust forms as they never look natural and have a bad effect upon the general health. Neith er would 1 recommend ordinary flesh builders or tonics, as they' increase the hips and limbs and with the present styles the form should be slender everywhere except a generously d.veloped bust are not likely to see me. There I sim ply saturate my 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 1 braid it In two braids, wind it round my head and put a cap of net over the hair so that it won't look unpleasant or come down. Whenever I can conveniently do so, without startling the neighborhood, I 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 soap suds made from soap bark, and dry It tn 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 J 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 course, as during vacation time. Lots of times hair that is a little ! curly will get perfectly straight because , It lacks nourishment and oil. and a lit . tie hair tonic or cocoanut oil will re , store the curl.

It was very painful, and besides it faded her hair. When you air your crowning glory, as the beauty 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 the 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—lndigestion or not enough shampoo. I have never failed to reme dy the trouble immediately by trying both cures. Os course, it's awfully hard to shampoo long hair one’s Belt, 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. g. 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 I 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 you I 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 several 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.
