able to one of my retiring disposition,
but a look from George brought back my
courage, and I found myself waiting rath

to hear put.
Before the Police.
Mr Slater was there, according to his
promise, and after introducing us, brief
ly stated that we had some evidence to
give regarding the terrible occurrence
w hich had just taken place in the house.
George bowed, and the chief spokes
man—l am sure he was a police-officer of
some kind— asked him to tell what it was.
George drew himself up —George is not
one ol your tall men. but he makes a
very good appearance at times. Then he
seemed suddenly to collapse. The sight
of their expectation made him feel bow
flat and childish his story would sound.
1. who had shared his adventure, un
derstood his embarrassment, but the
others were evidently at a loss to do so.
for they glanced askance at each other
as he hesitated, and only looked back
when 1 ventured to say:
“M s the peculiarity of the occurrence
which affects my husband. The thing we
saw may mean nothing ”
' Det us hear what it was and we
w-ill judge ”
George's Story.
i hen my busband spoke up. and re
lated our littie experience. If it did not
create a sensation, it was because these
men were well accustomed to surprises
of all kinds.
“Washed his hands—-a gentleman -out
there in the snow just after the alarm
was raised here?” repeated one.
“And you saw him come out of this
house?" put in another.
“Yes, sir: ue noticed him particularly.”
“(’an you describe him?"
It was* Mr. Slater who put this ques
tion. He had less control over himself,
ard considerable eagerness could be
heard in his voice.
“He was a very tine-looking man: un
usually tall and unusually striking both
in his dress and appearance. What I
could see of his face was bare of beard,
and verj expressive. He walked with
the swing of an athlete, and only looked
mean and small when he was stooping
and dabbling in the snow."
“His clothes. Describe his clothes."
There was an odd sound jn Mr. Slater s
voice.
“He wore a silk hat and there was fur
on his overcoat. 1 think the fur was
black."
Mr. Slater stepped back, then moved
forward again with a determined air.
"I know the man," said he.
The Man.
“You know the man?"
“1 do: or rather. I know a man who
answers to this description. He comes
here or.ee in a while. I do not know
whether or not he was in the building
tonight, hut Clausen can tell you; no
one escapes Clausen s eye."
“his name?"
“Brotnerson. A very uncommon per
| son in many respects; quite capable of
| such an eccentricity, but incapable. T
j should say. of crime. He's a gifted
j talker and well read that he can hold
’one's attention for hours. Os his tastes,

Beauty Secrets of Footlight Favorites
A Pretty Girl's Tricks of Beauty
By DOROTHY JARDON.
lAM too bashful to make any real
claim to great beauty, and while
I am very much flattered to be put
in this series, I am afraid that 1 have
no secrets of beauty, and no magic
formulas, or creams, to enhance my
looks, but, like every girl in her right
mind, I want to jfok as pretty as pos
sible. and there are lots of little ways
and tricks which make one appear
more attractive than one really is.
This may be deceitful, but. anyhow,
it s feminine, and 1 know that every
other girl will sympathize with me in
the desire to "pretty up.” and perhaps
some of them will profit by my sugges
tions.
When I am dressing to go out I al
ways remember that the front view of
myself which 1 get in the mirror is the
best, because I have taken the most
pains with that, but that there is also
a back view, a view of yellowish neck
and straggling hair, of a collar that
might be cleaner, or a veil that is torn,
and when I think of all the belts that
don't connect, my hand instinctively
goes to my own waist line.
A great many people talk against
paint and powder, and I suppose every
body agrees that young girls should not
use make-up of any kind. Os course,
when you are on the stage you get
rather hardened to that sort of thing,
though, in general, actresses are thank
ful to clean the paint off their face,
and 1 don't think they use as much
paint on the street as do the people
who never saw the footlights except
fiam the two-dollar side.
My strong objection to using powder
on the street is that one never gets it
on right.
An Ugly Sight.
Going to rehearsal this morning. I
counted the number of faces that were
badly powdered, with perfectly evident
traces of badly applied make-up. There
were 45 in two blocks
When a woman gets to a certain age
1 suppose she may do as she likes, but
girls wouldn't use heavy whitemast on
their faces if they knew how much old
er they looked, and how drawn and
dry the skin appears under the coating
of powder. If one is going to use
powder, however, there should be a
! law making every woman put on her
j powder by a very strong light, and
! be sure and powder the back of the
neck and behind the ears quite as re
ligiously as the nose and chin.
The only way you can be sure the
back of your neck is quite the same
color as the front of it is by using al
cohol on it after you have bathed in
the morning. Keeping the neck clean
is a trick which even very clean per
sons sometimes forget.
Now that we are wearing one-piece
dresses, we don't see so many gaping
belt lines and safety pins. But not
every girl has caught the trick of
wearing her clothes as if they were
comfortable, and I think that is a nec
essary factor in the art of looking pret.
ty.
They tell me at the Long Branch
Horse siiow that the display of clothes
was perfectlj' gorgeous, but that mor
of the boxes were empty because tiie
girls couldn't sit down. Now, I can't
imagine that these beautifully dressed
people looked comfortable or serene,
and 1 think that frocks which make
one physically uncomfortable detract
immensely from one's looks, no matter
how pretty they may be.
Lots of girls have the trick of fuss
ing con-tantly with their hair or run
ning their fingers over their faces, fum
bling their chins or generally feeling to
see if the collar or dress is ail right.

These things get to be a terrible habit,
and they are not becoming to the aver
age girl, and seriously detract from her
looks.
Queer Habits.
1 know one girl who rubs her finger
up and down her nose whenever she
is perplexed or thinking seriously
about something. She doesn't know
how queer it looks, but I have seen her
do it on all kinds of occasions, and
often it is quite a ludicrous perform
ance; besides that, she draws attention
to her nose, which is already long
enough.
Another girl pinches her nostrils. I
don't know whether she thinks that is
conducive to serious thought, but it
certainly looks odd and makes her nose
red.
When 1 was a little girl 1 went to
school with a girl who winked. She
did it as a trick, and occasionally made
us envious by looking cross-eyed. We
all tried to do as she did. and I became
addicted to winking to such an extent
that severe punishment was inflicted
upon me to make me stop, fortunate

looking cross-eyed, but to this day I'll
pick up any folish little mannerism,

years before he makes a similar dis
covery about himself.
He begins to associate the change of
the seasons with a change of under
wear, and loses his enthusiasm.
In looking backward, he begins to
realize that he has wasted a terribly
big pile of money in having a little bit
of a good time.
He begins to feel a deep gratitude to
ward those who know him, and still
like him.
The number of times the hero in the
novel saves the heroine doesn’t count
for as much to him as the size of the
type the story is printed in.
He would rather gossip about wick
edness than engage in it.
When he was young and didn’t know
ts he would hatch out a peacock or a
goose, he had ambition to hatch out a
peacock, and make a showing in the
world. But now he is older, and real
izes that he has hatched out a good
deal of a goose; he is less ambitious
and more charitable.
He becomes a philosopher, and It Is
in philosophy that he finds his sola (
happiness.
