"But bring your letter back for me to
seal. I want to see it In its envelope. Oh,
Doris, you are a good little girl!"
She shook her head, and hastened to
hide herself from him in the other room;
and it was a long time before she came
back with the letter folded and in its en
velope. When she did her face was com
posed and her manner natural. She had
quite made up her mitvi what her duty
was and how she was going to perform it.
‘Here is the letter." said she. laving it
in his outstretched hand. Then she turn
her back. She knew, with a woman's un
erring instijict why he wished to handle
"he fore it went. She felt that kiss he
folded away in it, in every fibre of her
aroused and sympathetic heart, but the
hardest part of the ordeal was over and
her eyes beamed softly when she turned
to take it from his hand and affix the
stamp
"You Will mall it yourself?" he asked.
I should like to have you put it into the
box with your own hand."
I will put it in tonight, after supper,"
she promised him.
His smile of contentment assured her
that tins trial of her courage and self
control was not without one blessed re
sult. He would rest for several days in
tn the pleasure of what he had done or
thougiit he had done. She need not cringe
before that image of Dread for two. three
days at least. Meanwhile, he would grow
strong in body, ami site, perhaps, in spirit.
Only one percaution she must take. No
hint of Mr. Chailoner’s presense in town
must u aech him. He must be guarded
from a knowledge of that fact as certainly
as from the more serious "one which lay
behind it.
“I Hope Never To See That Man”
’I hat this would be a difficult thing to do,
Doris was soon to realize. Mr. Chailoner
continued to pass the house twice a day
and the time finally came when he ven
i tured up the walk.
Doris was in the window and saw him
l<'':n!ng. She slipped*softly out and inter

Before replying she closed the door be

she carefully explained:

iand acutely susceptible to the least noise,

; Her Hush, the beauty "which must have

She nodded. Her eyes were full of
tears, but she did not hesitate to raise
them. She had the greatest desire to see
the face of the man who could speak like
this today, and yet of whose pride and
sense of superiority his daughter had
stood in such awe. that she had laid a
seal upon the impulses of her heart, and
imposed such tasks and weary waiting
upon her lover. Doris forgot, in meeting
his softened glance and tender, almost
wistful, expression, the changes which
ean be made by a great grief, and only
wondered why her sweet benefactress had
not taken him into her confidence and
thus, possibly, averted the doom which
Doris felt had in some way grown out
of this secrecy.
"Why should she have feared the dis
approval of this man?" she inwardly
queried, as she cast him a confidlpg JooK
which pleased him greatly, as his tone
i now showed.

Exercise and Common Sense Is Miss Louise Dresser's Beauty Formula
By MARGARET HUBBARD
AYER.
JUST before Miss Louise Dresser’s
act. the obliging xoung man w ho
runs the moving pictures at the
Colonial put on a reel—that is the cor
rect term—showing Miss Dresser work
ing hard with a medicine ball.
“It’s a very illuminating reel, be
cause it Illustrates beyond question 01
doubt what a beautiful woman Miss
Dresser reallj is, for you ean’t look
like much in a moving pictute unless
y >u are really ajtd truly handsome and
young, and it shows how Miss Dresser

stays beautiful despite her hard work
on the stage.
Miss Dresser .was making tip when I
went behind to her dressing room to
ask her what she did besides throwing
tlie medjcine ball to retain her health
and good looks.
Everybody knows that Miss Dresser
looks like a younger sister of Miss Lil
iitwt Russell; that she has in her face
the same amiable, gracious, quality,
which, makes people say, "I like her;
she's so sweet.”
Does Nothing Weird.
1 watched Mi-s Dresper slowly ehang,
herself from the natural beauty who
had come in without any paint and
powder on her face through the process
of "making up" into that perfection of
artificiality which makes her look abso
lutely natural, despite the glare of the
footlights when she is on the stage.
"You know, I don't da any of those
weird things that are supposed to keep
you beautiful, and that people insist al!
actresses must do, in order to preserve
what looks they’ve got,” said Miss
Dresser, looking at me candidly, while
she paused in the act of heading her
eyelashes, which means putting big
lumps of black paint on them.
"As a matter of fact, the actress who
wants to look well gets back to common
sense and first principles in healthful
living. Nobody takes milk baths any
more, or washes their hair in cham
pagne; those were beautiful stories in
vented by the genius of the press agent.
The sad part of it was that when wom
en read in the papers that a famous
beauty did anything extraordinary like
that why, the most conservative of
them believed it absolutely, and went
and did likewise, and the results were
most unfortunate.
"Champagne and milk baths were
relatively harmless. People have sug
gested all kinds of impossible things in
beauty culture for me to do. 1 am ex
pected to potfr the strongest kinds of
acids over myself if I get a freckle or
take to skin bleaches at the first sign of
sunburn. But what is the use of any of
those things? I simply say. ‘Wait until
the sunburns and the freckles fade,’ as
they always do in the course of time.
"I believe in the very simplest toilet
preparations—just those that are abso
lutely necessary and nothing more
Most people believe that beauty is skin
deep, hut you know that that is quite
wrong Beauty is a matter of health
and temperament. 1 want to keep wej .
and 1 try to keep happy.
“Really," concluded Miss Dresser, as
she made a perfect Cupid's bow over
her lips with red paint, “really keeping
amiable and lighthearted is half o f the
battle."
The Medicine Ball.
“But what about the medicine ball "'
"Oh that." said Miss Dresser. “I got
it to keep me from stagnating, as so
many people do around the stage. There
ate hours at a time when there is noth
ing to do. and especially if you are on
the road In a town where you have no
friends or acquaintances there Is no
way of killing time, and too much time
is bad for anyone, isn't It?
"People who stagnate mentally or
physical!) can't exjieet to be good look
ing or even to retain what looks na
ture endowed them with originally.
Thousands of women all over the world
are stagnating, and many of them are

MISS DRESSER’S CHARMING PROFILE,
just waiting to have their attention
vailed to it.
“.When 1 was out West one time, the
manager of the theater happened to
catch me w hile*! was tossing the medi
cine ball about the stage, which 1 did
every morning for at least an hour.
“‘Why do you do that.” he asked.
" 'So's not to get rusty.' I answered,

"I wouldn’t drink out of that whp,”
said little Willie to the well dressed
young visitor; "that's Lizzie’s cup. and
she’s very particular who drinks out

"Ah." said the young man. as he
drained the cup dry. "1 feel honored
to drink out of Lizzie’s eup. Lizzie is

"Not much. Lizzie Is my dog."

shone above, soothing tile soul, and the
sea was retene. while she she was
sitting snugly not on the same side of

him calmly Then she spake:

lite upshot of it was that I gave a lec
ture every morning to the woipen of

tile medicine ball, how to wake up nat
urally ami physically. and the danger
of stagnating or slumping.
Why They Grow Old.
"Women stop exercising, not because

. they stop exercising; because they lose

years to the age of a woman, be she old
or young, and when a young woman's
hair begins to fade and lose its color, it
it very foolish for her to let It go on

Interested and Interesting
By Beatrice Fairfax
J
I ONCE knew a girl who was so good
it was generally agreed by her
family and acquaintances that no
girl emlld be better.
But she hadn’t a friend. The reason:
She was neither Interested nor inter
esting.
When het associates attempted to
talk to her they soon found that the
conversation was all on their side. She
responded with a “Yes" or "No" so ab
rupt as to be barely civil, and they
soon tired of throwing the conversa
tional ball to her. and then running
after it. that they might throw it again.
She never tossed it back Her “Yes”
and "No" conveyed mote unfriendli
ness, less interest, more apathy, less
humanity than any other words in the
English language. A dog expressed
more of interest in a friendly bark
than she exptessed in return for the
attempts of others to be kind to her.
And "Yes" and “No," as the whole
of a response, are the height of rude
ness. I wonder if the most ardent ad
vocates of brevity of speech know that.
1 attempted to he friendly with the
girl. “She surely is interested in some
thing," i argued, "and I will find what
it is."
•My attempts were in vain, though 1
spoke of her woik. as stenographer in
a wholesale house; I talked to her of
iter music, and of her home, and of
the Ijttle bits of fancy work she oeca
sionaly indulged in. and every attempt
met with a “Yes" or “No," delivered tn
away that made me feel as if 1 had
been slapped
Discouraged, but determined not to
give up. I spoke to her of books—old
books and new’—and found the situa
lion more difficult titan ever. s h
never lead, she told me in a sentence of
just three words: "I never rend.'
Some months after this futile at
tempt to be friendly i received a letter
from her to this effect:
“You have imeti nice to me. Will vou
tell me why it Is 1 have no friends? I
am a faithful employee, but nix em
ployers ap,i my associates in tile office
don’t like me latn a good daughter:
I neve: find fault w jth othe s; 1 never
criticise; I never gossip, yet I haven’t
a friend."
And I wrote In reply:
"You ay he a good employee, but it
is in the same manner as a machine.
You may he a good daughter, if good
ness consists in paying your board,
finding no fault with the affairs of your
•home, and making no more attempt to
be interesting to your family, o: inter
ested in them, than if you talked dif
ferent language-.
“1 am sure you never criticise others,
and nevi r gossip. But there is a nega
tive goodness fully as appalling as ac
tive wickedness. l-'or neither do you
praise nor e unmend!
“No one loves a elam In the raw
state. You are a elam of that kind.
"You do not treat others as if they
were human beings You make no mote
effort to be interested in those around
you than if they had no existence.
"You ate too self-centered to be in
terested, too selfish to make the at
tempt to lie interesting.
"You are not sity. You may claim it.
but you are not. You are selfish, and
I ask you to look at the word stripped
of every excuse with which you would
seek to hide its identity!
“You must give out. or you ean’t take
in. You must give of yourself to others
