the mirror directly before us had some
thing to do with the great matter then

His answer conveyed the somewhat ex

seated in my rear were the same four who
had been reading at'the round table in the
mezzanine at the time of Miss Challoner’s
death.
Instantly they absorbed all my atten

only in the glass.
"Is it one family?” I asked.
Yes, and a very respectable one.
Transients, of course, but very well

Anty Drudge’s Vision.
Anty Drudge had finished her weekly wash before
noon and she sat in her comfortable rocking chair and
dozed.
And in a dream, she saw an u happy woman hound
with fetters, her right arm chained to a washboiler, her
left arm to a washboard.
And the sun was setting and it was growing dark.
And she dreamed that she touched the shackles on
each wrist of the woman with a bar of Fels-Naptha soap.
And they fell off, and the woman arose glad and free —
free from washday drudgery for evermore. And Anty
Drudge, arousing from her slumber, knew that what she
dreamed was true.
The greatest emancipation proclama
tion since Lincoln’s is printed on the back
oh the red and green Fels-Naptha soap
wrapper. It is the directions for using
Fels-Naptha in washing clothes.
It is also a different way of washing.
It has freed millions of women from wash
day drudgery for all time to come —from
slavery to the old back-breaking, health
wrecking methods which used to be
thought necessary.
Are you still a slave to these old-fash
ioned methods, drudging away every wash
day, wasting your time and your work and
wearing out clothes before their time?
Then stop. Use Fels-Naptha. Wash your
clothes in the new and easy way in cool or
lukewarm water, summer or winter, with
out boiling or hard rubbing. Easy directions
on the back of the Fels-Naptha wrapper.
"Thetr word ought to be good.”
George nodded.
The boys look wide-awake enough if
the father does not. As for the aunt.
. e is sweetness Itself. Do they still in
sist that Miss Chailoner was the only
person In the room with them at this
time?”
They did last night. I don’t know how
they will meet this statement of the doc
tor's.”
"George!”
He leaned nearer.
"Have you ever thought that she might
have been a suicide? That she stabbed
herself?”
No. for in that case a weapon would
have been found ”
And are you sure that none was?”
Positive. Such a fact could not have
been kept quiet. If a weapon had been
picked up there would be no mystery, and
no necessity for further police investiga
tion ”
"And the detectives are still here?”
“I just saw one.”
"George!”
Again his head came nearer.
"Have they searched the lobby? 1 be
lieve she had a weapon.”
"Laura!”
"I know it sounds foolish, but the al
ternative is so improbable. A family like
that can not be leagued together in a con
spiracy to hide the truth concerning a
matter so serious. To be sure, they may
al! be short-sighted, or so littje given to
observation that they didn't see what
passed before their eyes. The boys look
wide-awake enough, but who can tell? I
would sooner believe that—”
I stopped short so suddenly that George
looked startled. My attention had been
caught by something new I saw in the
mirror upon which my attention was
fixed. A man was looking in from the
corridor behind, at the four persons we
were just discussing. He was watching
them intently, and I thought I knew his
face.
"VY hat kind of a looking person was
the man who took you outside last
night?” 1 inquired of George, with my
eyes still on this furtive watcher.
"A fellow to make you laugh A per
fect character, Laura; hideously homely
but agreeable enough. I took quite a
fancy to him. Why?"
"I gm looking at him now."
"Very likely He’s deep in this affair.
Just an everyday detective, but ambi
tious, I suppose, and quite alive to the
importance of being thorough.”
"He is watching those people. No. he
isn't How quickly he disappeared!”
"Yes, he’s mercurial in all his move
ments. Laura, we must get out of this.
There happens to be something else in
the world for me to do than to sit around
and follow up murder (Tews.”

Beauty Secrets of Footlight Favorites
Hotv to Have Beautiful Hands and Nails
By EVELYN RORNER.
SOMEBODY has said that the hand
is the second face, and I believe
If one has pretty hands one has a
good right to be proud of them, for
there are more pretty faces than
pretty hands in the world, and It's
much easier to beautify the face than
to make the hand graceful and charm
ing.
A woman's hand has so much to do.
I mean, of course, the average woman,
who has to care for her house, to look
after her children, and who has her
hand in a hundred and one different
things during the day So it is no
wonder that there are so few classic
ally beautiful hands in the world.
The hand that rocks the cradle may
still be white and soft, but when it
shreds the codfish, blacks the stove,
does the family mending and washes
clothes besides, you can forgive it for
looking worn at an early age.
However, even housework no longer
has terrors for the woman who wants
to keep her hands pretty, and who
knows how, for a cure has been found
for almost all the troubles that beset
a busy pair of hands.
When a woman’s hands get very red
for no apparent reason, she is usually
wearing some tight band around her
body, either a corset that is too snug
or tight garters. Even tight shoes
will make the hands red; and. of
course, long immersion in cold or hot
water will do the same thing Then
again, when the hands grow red anC
none of these causes are found, the
person may have rheumatism or gou',
for it is one of the first signs of these
troubles; and, of course, the cure has
Io be found at the doctor’s office.
Preventing Dirty Nails.
If one has any dirty work to do like
polishing shoes, for instance, or the
kitchen stove, and one can not save
one’s fingers from getting dirty, a little
grease or lard, rubbed around the
finger nails, will keep the dirt from
getting in them.
After the hands have been thorough
ly washed, they should be dried with
powdered starch, and sometimes it. is a
good thing to use oatmeal boiled and
strained, instead of using soap. Oat-,
meal makes the hands nice and soft,
and so will almond meal or bran.
For the woman who has much house
work to do, there are various kinds of
gloves to protect the hands while do
ing it, and if she objects to the odors
which may linger on the skin, she can
remove the unpleasant odor by rubbing
them with powdered mustard or by
putting mustard in the water in which
she washes her hands.
I have found that the best whitener
for ordinary purposes is plain lemon
juice and the oil in lemon peel. This
softens the skin and makes it delight
ful to the touch.
When your hands are very rough and
you want to get them soft tn a very
short time, take a little sweet cream,
cold cream, buttermilk or butter, wash
your hands thoroughly in warm water,
then rub in any one of these creams
you may have, while the hands are
still wet. Rub until there is nothing
left to absorb; then wash off quickly
in warm water, just enough to do away'
with the sticky feeling which is so un
pleasant. People whose hands chap
very easily ought to do this every' time
they wash their hands, using an inex
pensive cold cream and a pure soap.
I have heard lots of women complain
that the use of grease in any form on
the hand and forearm would make the
hair grow’. Well, there is a simple
remedy' for that. It consists of a five
cent piece of pumice bought at the drug
store, and rubbed on the arm in this
way;
Light Rubbing.
If your pumice stone is soft and
fairly smooth, as it sometimes is, you
wont need anything- else but a little
light rubbing over the hairy surface.
But if the pumice stone is coarse and
rough, wet it a little with soapy water,
and then rub it briskly and lightly in
a circular manner over the skin on
which the hair is grooving. You will
soon wear off the hair, and if you rub
lightly you won’t irritate the skin, t If
you do, apply a little glycerine or cold
cream.
Most people can use glycerine on
their hands and arms, though they can
not use it on their face, and it is a
good thing to have on one's wash
stand, for its constant use will keep
the hands very nice and soft.
Probably the main reason why the
skin of so many hands is so coarse
and ugly is because people don't take
time enough to dry their hands prop
erly, but hurry over them as best they
may.
The little white spots on the nails
are due to poor circulation, and the
ridges on the nails come from excess
uric acid in tire blood.
The white spots occasionally come
from bruises or bumps, and then they
soon disappear, but when they are the

YOU HAVE ACTED WISELY.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 19 years of age. I have been
going with a man tor several
months. He has not missed a Sun
day night.
He says he loves me. but does not
ask to marry me. He goes to dances
through tile week. I don't dance or
object to his going.
Should I object to his going? Do
you think he will ask me to marry
him later? A READER.
You have been sensible in refrain
ing from objecting to his choice of
amusement. Don't spoil it by finding
fault now.
I think he will ask you to marry
him. If he doesn't ask soon and con
tinues to monopolize your time, sur
prise him by going with some other
man during the -week. It may make
him realize that a declaration of love
is not enough.
