Be ready’ This lonely sit ting by myself, with nothing to do but think, was a fine preparation for a sud den appearance before.those men some of them police officers, no doubt The Father’s Story. But that's enough about mvself I ni not the heroine of this story. In a half hour or an hour—l never knew which— George reappeared, only to tell me that no conclusions had as yet been reached; an element of great mystery involved the whole aafflr, and the most astute detec tives on the force had been sent for Her father, who had been her constant com panion all winter, had not the least sug gestion to offer in the wav of its solu tion. So far as he knew —and he be lieved himself to have been In perfect accord with hla daughter—«he had Injured no one. She had just lived the even, happy and useful life of a younger worn an of means, who sees duties beyond thoee of her own household and Imme diate surroundings. If, In the fulfillment of those duties, she had encountered any obstacle to content, he did not know It, nor eould he mention a friend of hers he would even say lovers, since that was what he meant -who to his knowledge could be accused of harboring any such passion of revenge as was manifested In this secret and diabolical attack They were all gentlemen, and respected her as heartily as they appeared to ad mire her. To no living being, man or woman, could he point ns possessing any motive for such a deed She had been the victim of some mistake, his lovely and ever kindly disposed daughter, and while the loss was Irreparable, he would never make It unendurable by thinking otherwise. Such was the father’s way of looking at the matter, and I own that it made our duty a trifle hard. But George s mind, when once made up, was persistent to the point of obstinacy, and while he was yet talking he led me out of the room and down the hall to the elevator. "Mr. Slater knows we have something to say, and will manage the Interview before us tn the very best manner,” he confided to me now with an encouraging air. "We are to go to the blue recep tion room on the parlor floor," I nodded, and nothing more was said till we entered the place mentioned Here wc came upon several gentlemen, stand 64 “HAIR THAT GIVES FATHER TIME THE LAUGH” IF e are just about as old as we LOOK People judge us, by the way we LOOK.

Before the Police. Mr Slater was there, according to his promise, and after introducing us. brlef- Ily stated that we had some evidence to I give regarding the terrible occurrence which 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 of 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 how 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 tp do so, for they glanced askance at each other as he hesitated, and only looked back when I ventured to say: "It's the peculiarity of the occurrence which affects my husband The thing we saw may’ mean nothing " "Let us hear what it was and we will judge." George's Story. Then my husband spoke up, and re lated our little 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. we noticed him particularly." "Can you describe him?” It was Mr. Slater who put this ques tion. He had less control over himself, and considerable eagerness could be heard In bls voice. 'He was a very fine-looking /nan; un usually tall and unusually striking both in his dress and appearance. What I could see of his face was bare of beard, and very 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 bls clothes." There was an odd sound in Mr. Slater's voice. "He wore a silk hat and there was fur on Ids 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 mim?" “I do; or rather. I know a man who answers to this description He comes here once in a while. Ido not know whether or not he was in the building tonight, but 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, I should say, of crime. He's a gifted talker and so well read that he can hold one's attention for hours. Os his tastes. 1 can only say that they appear to me mainly scientific But he is not averse to society, and Is always very well dressed." "A taste for science and for fine cloth ing do not often go together.” "This man is an exception to all rules. The one I'm speaking of. 1 mean. I don't say that lies the fellow seen pottering in the snow." "Gall up Clausen." the manager stepped to the telephone. Meanwhile, George had advanced to speak to a man who had beckoned to him from the other side of the room, anti with whom in another moment 1 saw him step out. Thus deserted, I sank into I a chair near one of the windows. Never had 1 felt more uncomfortable. To at tribute guilt to a totally unknown person a person who Is little more to you than a shadowy silhouette against a back ground of snow Is easy enough and not very disturbing to the conscience. But to hear that person named, given positive attributes, lifted from the indefinite Into a living, breathing actuality, with a man's hopes, purposes and responsibilities, is an entirely different proposition. This Broth erson might be the most innocent person alive and, if so. what had we done'.' Nothing to congratulate ourselves upon, certainly And George was not present to comfort and encourage me He was Where was he? The man who had carried him off was the youngest in the group.

Beauty Secrets of Footlight Favorites A Pretty Girl s Tricks of Beauty By DOROTHY JARDON. IAM 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 I have no secrets of beaujty, and no magic formulas, or creams, to enhance my looks, but, like every girl In her right mind, I want to look 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 I 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 theilr face, and I don’t think they use as much paint on the street as do the people who never saw the footlights except from the two-dollar side. My strong objection to using powder '■ on the street is that one never gets it I 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 \\ hen a w oman 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 drawm and dry the skin appears under the coating bt powder. If one is going to use powder, however, there should be a law making every woman put on her 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 hue 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 show that the display of clothes was perfectly gorgeous, but that most of tlie boxes were empty because the girls cduldn’t sit down. Now, 1 can't imagine th it these beautifully dressed people looked comfortable or serene, and I 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 constantly with their hair or run ning their fingers over their faces, fum bling their chins or generally feeling to see if the collar or dross is all right.

(Prima donna of "The Winsome Widow” company at Ziegfeld's Moulin Rouge.) 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 al! 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 I was a little girl I 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 ly, I never did accomplish the feat of looking cross-eyed, 'but to this day I’ll pick up any follsh little mannerism, and after I’ve been to see one of our pet star actresses it takes me weeks be fore I can cure myself of the habit of smoothing up my back hair, which is one of her tricks of manner. Like all girls on the stage, I have found that two things which ruin one's looks the most are lack of sleep and poor or badly selected food. In our profession it is difficult to get either, unless you are fortunate enough i in the house.

THERE are few ties he can take up after he passes 60 that do not become complications. Time begins to fly so fast with him he wonders when he takes off his clothes at night why he went to the trouble of putting them on in the morn ing. He grows surprised when he goes to church to find how’ many near his own age are falling asleep during services. He reads the death notice of a friend with fear, if the friend is a few years younger; with a feeling of assurance if the friend is a few years older. If the years have done nothing else for him, they have changed his opinion of what constitutes a good time. He thought he was a bird away back there when he was young. He is now satisfied he is the worm. He may his mustache, but he would give his years away if he takes off his shoes the moment he gets home. He discovers that his wife, who is his junior, is getting old at least fifteen Wilk You do not eat the right food VOUR bodies are ill-nourished because you feed them on foods that they cannot get the good out of.

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 terrible 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 couni for as much to him as the size of th. 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 if 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 sole happiness.
