THE GEOBGHAW’S MAGAZINE PAGE “The Gates of Silence” Ry Meta Sim mins. Author of "Hushed Up" TODAY’S INSTALLMENT. No man or woman in their senses would have run into that room of tire and dame that faced her across the landing: only a child, with a child’s lack Os fear, thinking only of the one end in view—to reach that still figure that she could see lying there by the bed whose draperies were all aflame A Horrible Sight. But Bess reached the bedside, the tire stretching out envious, greedy tongued of flame to lap at her as she passed. "’Im!" she cried. "Paul, my tine gen tleman dad!" Then she gave a scream that sounded loud and shrilly, echoing above the roar Os the flames, reaching the oars of the men who had come at that moment quietly and stealthily to the door of the shop. She could not tell how it had happened, but she saw that the corner of the cloth that had been on the table was fast clutched in Saxe's hand. He must have pulled it and the lamp which had stood upon it to the floor, where it had burst. The creeping, burning oil had left no beauty in Paul Saxe. ’ He was a thing at which the women who had fawned on him and admired and courted him would have cried out in shrinking, sickening horror. "Oh, my lor', e's dead! 'E's dead! Oh. look, 'e's dead!" the child cried. She cast up her long, thin arms with a shriek and fell forward across the feet of the man who was her father. The doctor looked down at the still fig ure on the bed for a moment longer, then, with a practised hand, drew the sheet up over the white face "Death came as a crowning mercy to Mrs. Rimington. Miss Lumsden. You have no cause for regret." His tongue ran on in glib professional phrases which passed Betty's conscious ness by like smoke. She only knew that while she had wept and sorrowed in selfish grief, this woman's life had gone out, and she had passed without a hand to soothe or'a voice to comfort her. "I knew it Is no business of mine" she was suddenly conscious once again that the doctor was speaking to her. looking at her with eyes full of a kindly interest } t'*' J * j7/1/ ' WIL JEU,.'W [■MM^UMSi£fiMMiSaKSMMiMi*«iiriMMßiMim MM iWU aHMm MM The best food that comes in the grocer s basket—Faust Spaghetti— more nourish ing than many times its cost in other foods.

Ho knew something of their story -the dead woman s and her own this elderly man with the kind eyes and the soft Devonshire voice. Betty. In her fear and loneliness, had confided something of it to him during these days that had fol lowed Mrs Rimington's seixure. The doc tor had been keenly interested He had the shrewd Devonshire brain as well as the soft Devonshire voice, and it had come to him more than once lately that some very strong motive must have lain behind Mrs. Itimington's unusual action. Like Betty herself, he had more than once asked himself the question—what was that communication Mrs. Rimington had been about to make w’hen she had been stricken down by paralysis? "1 don't think 1 shall be able to stay," Betty said. "My nerve seems gone." A week ago she would not have said this, but the events that had come so swiftly upon her in these crowded days had shown her her own weakness. A week ago, too, despair would have si lenced her She would have known of no place of refuge to which to turn. To da.' it was diffeernt only that morning she had heard from Edith.

V The Making of a Pretty Girl The \\ r el/-Groomed Miss of the century, you speak ol her as be ing well groomed. . Practically, it means that the girl in question is most delicately fastidious in everything pertaining 4o her toilet and to her personality. The well groomed girl is found be hind the counter, next to a slovenly companion; there are thousands of her in offices clicking the typewriter, you will see her on the farm, where she is so charmingly and becomingly dressed in her simple little frocks that she I stamps herself at once as Well bred, I sensible and immaculately clean, no i matter w hat sort of wot k she may be ! doing. Os course, it is the ideal of every | society girl to be known as perfectly ’ groomed, but the girl who can give all J her time to the process achieves no i greater success than the one who nur | ries out quickly in the morning to a | day’s work and preserves during long ; hours of toil that same characteristic I which we recognize at once and call > good grooming. No.v. th., first principle of the well groomed girl is absolute cleanliness. She takes her daily hot scrub at night ‘ is religiously as says her prayers.

If she ha - had a sen- sible mother, the girl who is well groomed has been taught how to buy. Very Important. Personally. I consider this as impor tant as how to cook, and I don't think the girl’s education is complete until she is given some ideas about the value of materials used in clothing, unless she can tell good linen, wool and cotton f’oin the shoddy materials which ina.sk under that name. In Germany and France, where girls are still brought up with the idea that they uiii some day marry and have a household to take care of and to buy for. the young girl is regularly trained in tile matte of buying. She is taken to market by the rook or by her moth er. and instructed tn prices of all food stuffs. just as she is taught how to cook them. She is also taken around to the shops and learns to differentiate between good and bad materials, between the lasting and valuable, though possibly more ex pensive goods, and the cheap and ta\\- dr\ things, made to please the nassing fancy. Despite i he fact that Pal is makes the fashions. French women wear theii clothes longei than Americans do. and they have a hundred and one ways of renovating, remodeling and changing last year’s garments and making them strictly up to date. First of all. there is the wonderful ’stoppeuse." This is the person who can mend a tear in any kind of mate rial so that it is absolutely impossible detect it. t ocess is long and tedious, and consists In sort of weaving of the broken threads, but it saves good clothing that would otherwise have to he thrown away, ami 1 am glad to see that these remarkable menders are be ginning to ply their trade over here.

Sh wants something that will be "cute" as well as within the regulation of the school, which call- for a uniform. I hope that she can find an older woman In her town who will go with her to the shop and buy her the simple tailored suit of good material, the long, warm coat for tough and rainy weathe.. a simple little afternoon gown for teas and one muslin or lingerie frock for parties. This, with the left-overs of her pres ent wardrobe and the middy blouses and kilted skills which she so sensibly is wearing now. together with the school uniform, should be all that sh • will need. DUUIxiE W I LEI m? ' Jr 1 Anty Drudge’s Advice to Mr. Newlywed. I Mr. Newlywed—“ Yes, we’ve got a fine little dove cote. But it’s one of those swell apartment houses and they don’t allow any washing done. Won’t stand for the smell and muss.” Anty Drudge “Poor boy, you must be .nearly bankrupt with big laundry bills. But, get your wife some Fels-Naptha soap and she can fool the janitor. Won’t need boiling water. Just use it cool or lukewarm. Ruh the clothes lightly and they’ll be like snow.” “If 1 only had some place to boil them I'd wash lots of my light clothes myself — the laundry wears them out so fast," said a young woman who lives in two rooms. Then she heard about Fels-Naptha. Now she is washing those things her self, without hot water, and doing it far better than if she boiled them. She has found >ut that Fels-Naptha cleanses things more thoroughly in cool ot lukewarm water, in little time, than if they were boiled till Doomsday. If you live in a room, apartments or occupy a whole house, take a chapter out of this young woman's experience. Boiling is unnecessary when you use Fels-Naptha, either in winter or summer. All that’s needed is cool or lukewarm water, and even a bowl or basin will do for a few things. Follow directions on the red and green wrapper. Daysey May me and Her Folks Ry Frances L. Garside FIRST AID TO THE MEN. Bysander john appleton was plainly worried, and he show - ed the source of his anxiety by easting envious looks at his wife's youthful face and uneasy glances at the reflection of his own face in the glass. "She looks so much younger thin I," he said “she will finally look like my granddaughter, and then where will I be ?" He had an inspiration one day. and moved with caution in acting upon it. He looked at his wife's pink cream, and then at the white. "I'd just as soon." he muttered, "dip my face in corn starch pudding." Then he plucked up courage and asked hei to which measure she at tributed her success in keeping young. "To happy thoughts," she replied "To the com entrat ion of my mind on the joy of hearing the birds twitter, and seeing the tender buds burst into bloom." Happy thoughts! It sounded easy, but how to think I hem '.' Mrs. Lysander John, noting Ills de sire tn grow young, offered to write a series of rules. "Nothing would please me better,” he said, and the next even ing. alone in his den. he read the rules his wife had prepared. "Wrinkles." he read, "ire deepest when plowed by anger. "And anger." he read on. "when it is man's anger, is always without cause." Lysander John scratched his head, and wondered full five minutes Then he sighed, and read again. "When a man scolds about dry goods bills it causes that cll'-tiguring wrinkle between the eyebrows. "Commands that his wife spend less give birth to a network of wrinkles on the forehead, and many a man has brought a premature sagging of his throat by roaring about the price of his wife's hat. iri Ration because hi« meals are cold takes the lustor from his eyes, and complaint that the meat is not well done w ill make his cheeks flabby. "To keep young, he should never find fault, nevar scold never sulk, never storm; he should recognize the futility of all emotion that is opposed to Happy Thoughts. "If the dinner is not ready on time he should remember that by sitting joy fully down to read his newspaper while he waits he will knock off five years. "If his newspaper has been torn up by the children, or chewed up by the pup. he should smile in content and read the mottoes on the wall. "If the meat is overdone, and the po tatoes underdone, he should remem ber that mentioning these facts in any other than a pleased tone will cause his hair to turn gray and fall out. "He should laugh blithely when the dressmaket and the plumber”— But Lysander John read no more. He felt that to be able to laugh blithely when these occasions arose he should rehearse, and he began to laugh. And that was what he was still doing when his wife came home two hours later - laughing, but It was the laugh ter of a man w hose senses had fled. THE PRICE DROPPED.
