THE GEORGIAN'S MAGAZINE PAGE “Initials Only” * By Anna Katherine Green A Thrilling Mystery Story of Modern Tinies (Copyright, 1911. Street & Smith.) (Copyright, 1911, by Dodd, Mead & Co.) TODAY’S INSTALLMENT. The man who lived here was not only B student, as was evinced by a long wall full of books, but he was an art lover. e musician, an inventor and an athlete, an much could be learned from the most fur sory glance. A more careful one picked up other facts fully as startling and impressive. The books were choice; the invention to all appearance a prac tical one; the art of a high order and t he music, such as was in view, of a character of which the nicest taste need no t be ashamed. George began to feel quite conscious of the intrusion of which they had been guilt), and was amazed at the east with w htch the detective carried himself in Ihe presence of such manifestations of culture and good, hard work. He was try ing tn recall the exact appearance of the figure he had seen stooping In the snowy 9 treet two nights before, w’hen het found himself staring at the occupant 6f the room, who had taken up his stand be fore them and was regarding while they were regarding the room. He had thrown aside his hat and rid himself of his overcoat, and the fearless ness of his aspect seemed to daunt the hitherto dauntless Sweetwater, who. for the first time in his life perhaps, hunted in vain for words with which to start conversation. Had he made am awful mistake? Was this Mr Dunn what he seemed, an un known and careful genius, battling with great odds in bls honest struggle to give the world something of value In return for what it had given hitn? The quick, almost deprecatory glance he darted at George betrayed his dismay; a dismay which George had bqgun to shares, not withstanding his growing belief that the man s face was not wholly unknown to him even if he could not recognize it as the one he had seen outside the Cler mont. "You seem to have forgotten your er rand," came In quiet, If not good-natured, sarcasm from their patiently waiting host "It's the room.” muttered Sweetwater, with an attempt at his old-time ease which was not as fully successful as usual "What an all-fired genius you must be I never sa.w the like. And in a tenement house, too! You ought to be in one of those big new studio buildings in New York where artists he and everything you tee it beautiful. You’d appreciate it, you amild." .

W||lP v niw Anty Drudge Talks to an Indignant Woman. Mrs. Topflat— "Just gaze at that skirt! Looks like a piece of Swiss cheese. Full of holes. My washwoman must use quick lime instead of soap.” Anty “Why don’t you wash at home ?” Mrs. Topflav- ’At home, indeed! Why, a you know, I live in an apartment. Boil clothes on a gas range? Most likely land in the hospital.” Anty Drudge— ‘‘Why, dear, use Fels-Naptha and you don’t have, to boil the clothes. Lukewarm or cool water is all that’s needed winter or summer. And I’ll guarantee your clothes will never again be freckled with holes.” No sensible woman wants to do more work than is necessary to accomplish the best results. And yet — There are women who take a full day to do the weekly wash when it can be done in half the tirrte and far better. Is this because they don’t know the bels-Naptha way? Or is the reason that they are so gov erned by habit that they hesitate to try a new method? The Fels-Naptha way is so easy, so simple. Full directions are on the ted and green wrapper. very uncommon eye. It was a temporary flash, however, and quickly veiled, and the tone in which this Dunn now spoke was anything but an encouraging one. ‘‘l thought you were desirous of join ing a socialistic fraternity.” said he; "a true aspirant for such honors does not care for beautiful things unless all can have them. I prefer my tenement. How is It with you, friends?” Sweetwater found some sort of a reply, though the thing which this man now did must have startled him. as it cer tainly did George. They were so grouped that a table quite full of anomalous objects stood at the back of their host, and consequently quite beyond their own reach. As Sweetwater began to speak, he whom be had addressed by the name of Dunn drew a pistol from his breast pocket and laid it down barrel toward them on this table top. Then he looked up courteously enough and listened till Sweetwater was done. • A very handsome man. but one not to be trifled with In the slightest degree. Both recognized this fact, and George, for one, began to edge toward the door. "Now I feel easier.” remarked the giant, swelling out his chest. He was unusual ly tall, as well as unusually muscular. "I never like to carry arms; but some times it Is unavoidable. Damn it. what hands’” He was looking at his own, which certainly showed soil. ”\\ ill you pardon me?” he pleasantly apologized, stepping toward a washstand and plung ing his hands into the basin. ”1 can not think with dirt on me like that. Humph, hey! did you speak?” He turned quickly on George, who had certainly uttered an ejaculation, but re ceiving no reply, went on with his task, completing it with a care and a disre gard of their presence which showed him up in still another light. j But even his hardihood showed shock I when, upon turning around with a brisk, i Now’ 1 m ready to talk,” he encountered | again the clear eye of Sweetwater. For, |in the person of this none too welcome Intruder, he saw a very different man from the one upon whom he had just turned his back with so little ceremonv; and there appeared to be no good reason I for the change. He had not noted In his preoccupation how George, at sight I of his stooping figure, had made a sudden (significant movement, and. If he had, the I pulling of a necktie straight, would have meant nothing to him But to Sweetwa iter It meant everything, and It was in j the tone of one fully at ease with him -1 self that he now dryly remarked: "Mr. Brotherson, if you feel quite clean, land if you have sufficiently warmed your • self, I would suggest that we start at | once, unless you prefer to ' . vc me share ‘this room with you until tic >rning."

(One of the beauties in Ziegfeld’s ’Follies of 1912" Company.) By ZANA CUE.ZON. IE you can wear apple green without looking -tike a fright, you may be pretty sure you have a good coifi plexion. Apple green is the test of beauty, so | far as skin and coloring go. I had an apple green dress once, and it was a perfect tragedy, for a while i at least. ■ I can say truthfully that apple green is the most unbecoming color in the world, unless you are one in a thou- : sand, and have a clear, white skin, and faint rose-colored cheeks, and look like the apple blossom which ought to hang on the apple green bough. i This famous dress was presented to me by a relative, one of the kind who gives you the things that are popular > at the moment.’or that somebody else tells her would make appropriate gifts. I didn't want a green dress, because I don’t care for that color anyhow, and my heart was set on a fur collar. But what can you do? You have to take what you get. though in some future existence I hope we will be allowed to choose our own gifts. A Fright in Green. The green dress came to stay, and not long afterward the giver paid us a visit. Naturally it was expected of me that I should wear the gown she had bought me. and I sacrificed myself and my vanity on the altar of gratitude and wore the green dress for the first time, though 1 had had it for several months and usually wear anything at once Well, in that dress I simply looked a fright. Billows of green chiffon and greener taffeta threw their ghostlike shadows and reflections on my face, and if 1 ever had any illusions about being a pretty girl 1 lost them on the minute. You have seen those plants that spring up in the darkness of the cellar, potato shoots and pale, pathetic-look- • Ing onion sprouts. I looked like a cross between those vegetables and *the greenery-yellowrj- picture of a futurist painter. 1 could have cried, only that would have made my nose red, and I thought things were had enough already. My heart was filled with rage at the giver of this dreadful frock, which showed up every one of the careful!/ hidden imperfections of my complexion and which even seemed to kill the color of my hair and eyes. I marched down into the sitting room where the family were waiting for me like an indignant tragedy queen going to the scaffold. Families do not spare your feelings, and I can tell you that by the end of dinner 1 was doing every thing in the world to control my temper and my tears. They called he "ghosty” and "green face” and made all kinds of unpleasant remarks about my sallow-looking com. plexion. and 1 was glad when dinner was over, and 1 could escape to my room I tore off the wretched green dress and settled down to have a good cry. There was a knock on the door, and the old cousin who had given me the frock came in. She was all sympathy and sweetness, and remarked: "Well, my dear, I hope that you will profit by this little lesson." “Lesson? What lesson can there be in making me look perfectly hideous?" 1 sobbed "Several, as you will find," she re turned "1 have been noticing for some time that you were thinking too much about your looks, and so I decided to show you that you greatly exaggerate them You have nice eyes, and hair, and good features, but. like a great many girls, you think that your com plexion is good because you covet over its defects with a little powder, which by the way, is perfectly noticeable to every body The Lesson.

The Russian royal special train is the heaviest and most luxurious in Europe.

A curious ceremony which takes place at Whitsuntide is that which is enacted in the parish church schools at St. Ives, Huntingdonshire. The custom dates back to 1875. when Dr. Robert Wilde left money for the purpose.

Fletcher for over 30 years—the genuine Castoria. We respectfully call the attention of fathers and mothers when purchasing Castoria to see that the wrapper bears his signature in black. Vvhen the wrapper is removed the same signature appears on both sides of the bottle in red. Parents who have used Castoria for' their little ones in the past years need no warning against counterfeits and imitations, but our present duty is to call the attention of the younger generation to the great danger of intro ducing into their families spurious medicines. t It*is to be regretted that there are people who are now engaged in the nefarious business of putting up and selling all sorts of substitutes, or what should more properly be termed conterfeits, for medicinal preparations not only for auults, but worse yet, for children’s medicines. It therefore devolves on the mother to scrutinize closely what she gives her child. Adults can do that for themselves but the child has to rely on the mother’s watchfulness.

The Voegell Bros., of Minneapolis, Minn., say: "We wish to say that ws have at all times a large demand for Fletcher's Castoria at all of our three stores and that it gives universal satisfaction to our trade.” Polk Miller Drug Co., of Richmond, Va., says: ''Your Castoria is one of the most satisfactory preparations we have ever handed. It seems to satisfy completely the public demand for such an article and Is steadily creating a growing sale by its merit.” P. A. Capdau, of New Orleans, La., says: "We handle every good horns remedy demanded by the public and while our shelves are thoroughly equipped with the best of drugs and proprietary articles, there are few If any which have the unceasing sale that your Castoria has.” M. C. Dow, of Cincinnati, Ohio, says: "When people in Increasing num bers purchase a remedy and continue buying It for years; when It passes the fad or experimental stage aud becomes a household necessity, then It can be said Its worth has been firmly established.

My mo; her likes him. although -he says he will never make a mtfn of himself, and wouldn't like to have me marry him. I would like to marry him because w® agree, and* I believe if we .ere parted our hearts would break. He Is the only child in the family’ and his parents have spoiled him. I would like to know how I can break him of this so that my mother can like him in all his ways." My dear, you are praying to marry the man you love. With the task be fore you of making him over, you will have great need of praying to love the man you marry. Your mother says he will never make a man of himself. If her judgment is biased, or not, this remains true and of importance: She is looking at him with eyes that seek her daughter's hap piness. and no woman was ever happy as the wife of a man who failed to make a man of himself. After love comes to a woman she loses what we will call "ambition for herself.” She grows ambitious for her husband, and will make any sacrifice, undergo any privation, to further his chances. If he has a talent, she will deny herself necessities to provide him with the means to cultivate it, and in numberless times when a man arrives at the top it was with the aid of a meek little woman the world never hears aboul. If he is content with the mediocre, if he has do thought of the future be yond rent day. and is never prepared for that, her discouraged hopes find new life in her children. She becomes ambitious for them, and many a woman has been to Gethsemane twice because of the heritage of worthlessness her children received from their father. Your lover lacks every quality which a man should need to make a man of himself, and, in addition, is hopelessly spoiled. He can never be a man be cause he will always be a baby, and he will always be a baby because his parents have always carried him. My dear, the task you would under take is heavy beyond your strength. You would like to marry him because you agree. How long would you agree If he treated you as a spoiled child tree s his mother! Would youy love outlive the blows with which a spoiled child meets caresses'.’ You believe if you were parted your heart would bleak. Your heart, I am sure, would suffer many a pang, but as he is the selfish product of weak paren tal raising, he won't feel badly long. If you married him. yours would al ways be a heavy burden, the long, dusty toads. It would mean a life of unappreciated self-denial, and I am so .yixious for your happihess, Little Girl, 1 i opt you will wait just a little bit long' r. When you ate a little older, and have looked about you a little more, you will know that the most helpless, most hopeless, most heavily burdened trav elers on life's highway are the women w he married men with the hope of re forming them.
