THE GEORGIAN'S MAGAZIHE PAGE “Initials Only” * By Anna Katherine Green A Thrilling Mystery Story of Modern Times TODAY’S INSTALLMENT. • (Copyright, 1911. Street & Smith.) (Copyright, 1911, by Dodd. Mead & Co.) ■'Not yet. Mr. Hammond insists upon waiting for the coroner. (Mr. Hammond was the proprietor of the hotel.) She Is lying on one of the big couches near which she fell. If you like, I can give vou a glimpse of her. She looks beauti ful. It's terrible to think that she' is dead." Under a Spell. I don't know why we consented. We were under a spell, T think. At all events, we accepted his offer and followed him up a narrow' staircase open to very few that night. At the top, he turned upon us with a warning gesture W’hich I hard ly think we needed, and led us down a narrow hall flanked by openings corre sponding to those we had noted from be low. At the farthest one he paused and, beckoning us to his side, pointed across the lobby into the large writing room, which occupied the better part, of the mezzanine floor We saw people standing in various at titudes of grief and dismay about a couch, one end of which only was visible to us at the moment. The doctor had just joined them, and even' head was turned toward him and everybody bent forward In anxious expectation. I remember the face of one gray-haired old man. I shall never forget it. He was probably her father. Later, I knew him to be so. Her face, even her form, was entirely hid den from us, but as we watched (I have often thought with what heartless cu riosity) a sudden movement took place in the whole group—and for one instant a startling picture presented itself to our gaze. Miss Chailoner was stretched out upon the couch. She had dressed as she came from dinner, in a gown of ivory-tinted satin, relieved at the breast by a large bouquet of scarlet polnsettias. I men tion this adornment because it was what first met and drew our eyes and the eyes of every one about her, though the face, now quite revealed, would seem to have the greater attraction. But the pause was evident and one not to be resisted. The doctor was pointing at these poinsettias In horror and with awful meaning, and though we could not hear his words, we knew almost instinctively, both from his attitude and the cries that burst from the lips of those about him, that some thing more than broken petals and dis ordered laces had met his eyes; that blood was there—slowly oozing drops from the heart —which for some reason had es apefl all eyes till now’. Miss Challoner was dead, not from un suspected disease, "but from the violent attack of some murderous weapon. As the realization of this brought fresh pan c and bowed the old father's head with •motions even more bitter than those of grief, I turned a questioning look up at George's face. It was fixed with a purpose I had no rouble in understanding. “I Know the Man.” ' Ye: he made no effort to detain Mr. Slater, when that gentleman, under this renewed excitement, hastily left us. He was not the man to rush into anything impulsively, and not even the presence of murder could change his ways. "I waet to feel sure of myself,” he ex plained. "Can you bear the strain of waiting around a little longer. Laura?

"Yes, I ean bear it; much better than I could bear going to Adela’s in my pres ent state of mind. Don’t you think the man we saw had something to do with this? Don't you believe” "Hush! Let us listen rather than talk. What are they saying over there? Can you hear?” "No. And I can not bear to look. Yet I don’t want to go away. It’s all so dreadful." "It’s devilish. Such a beautiful girl! Laura, I must leave you for a moment. Do you mind?” “No, no; yet”—— I did mind; but he was gone before I could take back my word. Alone. I felt the tragedy much more than when he was with me. Instead of watching, ae I had hitherto done, every movement In the room opposite, I drew back against the wall and hid my eyes, waiting feverishly for George's return. I He came, w'hen he did come. In some haste and w’ith certain marks of > in creased agitation. "Laura," said he, "Slater says that we! may possibly be wanted and proposes that we stay here all night. I have tele phoned Adela and have made it all right at home. Will you come to your room? This Is no place for you.” Nothing could have pleased me bet ter; Jo be near and yet not the direct ob server of proceedings in which we took so secret an interest! I showed my grat itude by following George immediately. But I could' not go without casting an other glance at the tragic scene I was leaving. A stir was perceptible there and I was just in time to see its cause. A tall, angular gentleman was approaching from the direction of the musicians' gal lery, and from the manner of all present, as well as from the whispered comment of my husband, I recognized in him the special official for whom all had been waiting. "Are you going to tell him?" was my question to George as we made our way down to the lobby. “That depends. First, I am going to see you settled in a room quite remote from this business." “I shall pot like that.” “1 know, my dear, but it is best.” I could not gainsay this. Nevertheless, after the first few min utes of relief, I found it very lonesome upstairs. The pictures which crowded upon me of the various groups of ex cited and wildly gesticulating men and women through which w'e had passed on our way up, mingled themselves with the solemn horror of th£ scene in the writing room, with its fleeting vision of youth and beauty lying pulseless in sudden death. I could not escape the one with out feeling the immediate impress of the other, and if by chance they both yielded for an instant to that earlier scene if a desolate street, with its solitary lamp shining down on the crouched figure of a man washing his shaking hands in a drift of freshly fallen snow, they immedi ately rushed back with a force and clear ness all the greater for the momentary lapse. I was still struggling with these fan cies w'hen the door opened and George came in. There was news in his face as I rushed to meet him. . "Tell me—tell," 1 begged. He tried to smile at my eagerness, but the attempt was ghastly. "I've been listening and looking,” said he. "and this is all 1 have learned. Miss Challoner died not from a stroke or from disease of any kind, but from a wound reaching the heart. No one saw the attack, or even the approach or de parture of the person inflicting this wound. If she was killed by a pistol shot, it was at a distance, and almost over the heads of the persons sitting at the table we saw there. Bui the doc tors shake their heads at the word pis tol shot, though they refuse to explain themselves or to express any opinion until the wound has been probed. This they are going to do at once, and when that question is decided. I may feel it my duty tp speak and may ask you to support my story." "I will tell what I saw,” said I. "Very good. That is all that will be required. We are strangers to the par ties concerned, and only speak from a sense of justice. It may be that our story will make no impression, and that we shall be dismissed with but few thanks. But that is nothing to us. if the woman has been murdered, he is the murderer. With such a conviction in my mind, there can be no doubt as to duty.” To Be Continued in Next issue. The Making of a Pretty Girl & Why Some Grow Fat and Others Don't By MARGARET HUBBARD AYER. FASHION experts tell us that the reign of the thin woman is over, and that the new styles will favor her fatter sister, but I don't believe it. You may favor the fat sister all you like, but she will go right on trying to be thin. Few women are contented with their looks, anyhow, but no fat woman likes to think that she has lost her slender proportions. Fat is awk ward, and, what is much (pore, it is z\ *■ Jr) i 2;.. * ' ip Ihkl /W zZ Sleeping this way produces the double chin aging. Even the very fat girl of four teen looks older than she is. , Many a girl inherits a tendency to flesh, just as she inherited brown and curly hair. If fat runs in your family it is hard to overcome it, and a con ■ tinual fight has to be kept up against the increase in weight. Ordinarily the woman who is too fat enjoys good food, but some people who are fleshy eat very little; when they do eat. however, they always choose just those foods which make flesh. Then they like liquids, soda water, plenty of water with meals, ice cream, and half watery foods. The amount of fluid one takes has much to do with increas ing the weight, and I suppose one thing every woman knows by now is that alcohol in any form promotes a false appetite and aids in storing u|i fat in the tissues of the body. The Apple Woman. I once knew a dear old apple woman who was exceedingly stout. Yau would‘have thought to look at her that she’d long passed the age when her personal appearance was the slightest consequence to her. But dear okl Mary was still somewhat vain and her tub-like figure worried her, 1 knew that she got plenty of exercise, and asked her what she ate and drank. “Nothing at all! Nothing at all!” she assured me. “I don’t eat enough to keep a bird alive, and 1 never drink anything but tea.’’ And how mWch tea do you drink, Mary?” "Oh, sure, twenty-two twenty-three cups a day:” Well, there was the secret of Mary’s fat. and she certainly never suspected that the teapot which simmered all day long on the stove had done so much to make her lose her slender shape. Almost every woman who is too fat has some sort of a little bad habit simmering in the background like Mary's teapot. Something she never suspects has helped to make her fat, ami it's only after much cross-ques tioning that you can find out what it is.

First of all, there is a dumpy way' of sit ting as when one falls to pieces oVer the top of her stays and slumps in at the waist just as much as her steel armor will allow’. Now', if you want to keep your figure, you cannot afford to slump at all. but should cultivate a good straight backbone and hold your shoulders back naturally, not stiffly, but so that you are never sitting in a round-shouldered position. 1 have seen so many gil ls of eighteen or nineteen whose shoulders were round, and whose backs already looked old just because they do not sit up straight. When sitting at a desk ot sewing table, when you are reading or writing, place your chair sufficiently far from the table to allow you to sit well back in the chair, and then -bend forwaid from the hips. This position is really more restful than the hollow chest and round-shouldered one. and it is just a matter of habit to get ac customed to It. There are all kinds of braces sold now which hold the shoulders back and keep one from getting a broad and round-ihoultiered back. They are good for the fat woman, because they remind her to hold herself correctly, which will make her look taller and less dumpy. The same kind of a b.ace is made by the Snglish army officers of three handkerchiefs. Knot the ends of two Os the handkerchiefs together, slip these over the arms and around the shoulders. Now pass the third hand kerchief across the back and under the two arm-circles, and have some one Up-to-Date Jokes A German gentleman at breakfast one morning said to the servant: "Did 1 come home very drunk last night, Gretchen ?” Her reply was: "Oh. I.or. sir. yes! Why, you kissed the missis!" Chortles—Say, old boy. ate you fond of moving pictures? His Friend—Well, 1 should say so. Chortles —Then come round to our house next Tuesday and give us a hand. We’re moving that day." Jones came downtown the other morning with a somewhat bruised and swollen forehead. His friend Briggs viewed the contusion with interest, and asked: "How did it happen, old man?" "Collided with the hat rack last night.” said Jones, shortly. “Accidentally?" asked Briggs. “No. Briggs," replied Jones, sweetly "I have every reason to suspect that it attacked me'purposely.” The barber’s shop was well patron ized, when in walked a shabby stranger. "Good-morning, sir!" called the bar ber. doubtfully. "Good-morning!” replied the strang er. "My good man, will you shave one side of my face for a dime?" The barber winked at his waiting J customers. "Certainly,” he replied, j "Take a seat, please." Presently it was the shabby strang er’s turn tO'OCcupy the seat of honor. “Now, which side shall I shave?” asked the barber, as he waved the lathering brush in the air. "The outside!” replied the shabby stranger, meekly. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. Tht Kind You Have Always Bought Form the habit of sleeping with your chin up and you will avoid the dreaded doub'e or triple chin. knot this together, drawing the shoul ders back bv pulling the harttlkerchiefs which bind them. Another bad habit which the stout woman easily falls into Is that of go ing around with hei head bent down so that she soon has two or even three chins. Chin straps for reducing the chin are sold everywhere nowadays, or one can nlake them of a piece of linen leut about three inches wide, with tapes at the end. The linen should pass un der the chin and tie over the head, and press the flabby part of the chin in. as well as holding the mouth shut while sleeping. The Way to Sleep. Young people often lose the pretty contour of the fa.ee because they sleep witli their mouths open, while the wom an who is inclined to be fat if she will form the habit of sleeping with her head up, instead of bent very far down, or with such a chin strap to hold the mouth shut and the chin up will not acquire the dreaded double or triple chin. Another bad habit is for the fat woman to consider herself fat; the minute she says "I am too fat to run upstairs, too fat to walk much,” that is just the time to begin work to de crease one's flesh: to walk and run up and down stairs as much as possible, for indolence invariably accompanies the fat woman, and that is the most difficult thing to overcome. Body massage, if one can obtain it. would help reduce the weight, and face massage will do much toward dispers ing- the fatty tissue that disfigures the youthful face. But, alas! the fat woman does not care about strenuous exercise. and much prefers applying- medicated soaps or trying to melt down fat at the Turkish bath, or by spasmodic hard work encased in rubber garments un der a sweater. Os course, the more you exercise the more you will perspire and the sooner you will melt down your fat. trouble is that few women are willing to keep it up long enough to feel the good results. An excellent movement for reducing tile waist and abdomen is the follow ing: < Valuable Exercises. Die flat on the back, preferably on the hard floor; extend the legs stiffly, then raise first one leg. then the other? stiffening all the muscles and getting some action in the muscles of the waist, which with the* fat woman are usually quite weak and flaccid. After repeating this exercise several times, bring both legs together to a position as nearly as possible at right angles with the body. The woman who will roll on a hard floor a hundred'times night and morn ing will soon find her flesh melting away, but it isn't a comfortable way of doing it. Skipping the roi>e, usually considered quite a childish game, will also reduce flesh, but if there is anything the mat ter with the heart, it is not advisable to try it. Biding, tennis playing, bicycling and especially swimming all will reduce weight. * The woman who wants to get thin must never take naps in the daytime, and she should not sleep mote than seven hours at night. This applies, of course, only to the fat woman of robust constitution. Dr. Arnold Lorrand advises abstain ing from meat entirely, in order to re duce flesh, or to eart very little, if any of it, while for the rest of the diet, almost every woman knowjs those starchy, sugary and fat-forming foods which she shouldn't eat, and which she generally adores. The ideal weight for women of vari ous heights is about as follows; 5 feet 1 inch, weight 120 pounds. 5 feet 2 inches, weight 126 pounds. 5 feet 3 inches, weight 133 pounds. 5 feet 4 inches, weight 136 pounds. 5 feet 5 inches, weight 142 pounds. 5 feet 6 inches, weight 145 pounds. 5 feet 7 inches, weight 149 pounds. 5 feet 8 inches, weight 155 pounds. 5 feet 9 inches, weight 162 pounds. 5 feet 10 inches, weight 169 pounds. 5 feet 11 inches, weight 174 pounds. 6 feet, weight 178 pounds. § e The Manicure Lady e § By William F. Kirk WILFRED and me and Sister Mayme was to a swell party the other night,” said the Manicure Lady. “It was gave by a artist that has just opened a new studio, the same as the studio that I was telling you about a few weeks ago. We had a grand time.” "I think you are .wrong in going to studio parties," said the'Head Barber. "I have told you that before, and you know w'hen I tell you anything I mean it.” "I can take care of myself without any bone-headed barber telling me where to get off," said the Manicure Lady, frigidly. "This artist was a per fect gent. The only thing I didn't like about the party was one of his lady guests. I think she must be one of them ladies that is all the .time look ing for adventures. I think they call them adventuresses, or some name like that. She hadn't no more than seen Wilfred when she started making eyes at him, because she had heard the poor kid telling that he was a poet, and I guess she thought that poets makes a lot of dough. Goodness knows they don't, George; but as long as she thought so I suppose that ain't neither here or there, but to get on with my story. “The mintue Wilfred noticed that this blond beauty was shining up to him he swelled up like one of them poisoned puppies that you read about in the story books. I guess in the next hour after he made the flash he. must have recited about seventy of his worst young poems. Don’t you see, George? He was trying to make a hit with her and con her into giving him a little dough, but he was waiting for a good chance to approach her, and all the time she was playing the same sys. tern. I had more than one good laugh before the two Jf them found out that there wasn't a quarter between them, and probably wouldn’t be for some time to come. Wilfred was telling me on the way home that in the old days poets used to have patrons and patron esses. He said that any time a poet was on his uppers he would go and dig up some rich old guy or guyess and tell him the facts in the case are these;' I think it was a pret,ty good system at that, George.

Soon after it was built it was proposed to call it The Palace, but this was op posed on democratic grounds. Congress ’ then determined that it should be called the executive mansion. It became known as the white house because, when rebuilt after the British soldiers had partly destroyed It, it was painted white to hide the traces of smoke and flame upon the walls.
