"I love the rain,” she announced to a dripping assembly of rubber-coated ami goloshed people, and then she blushed quickly and prettily, because we all looked so glum. "I have been riding horseback in it all the morning." she said, trying to evoke some enthusiasm. No one said any thing, and then she blushed again, this time t<Y a deep crimson. "Miss Davis, I’ve always been inter ested in people who blush. Do you know that you are blushing, and if you do, why- are you? We’re not alarming, though we are . . ing,” inquired the interviewer, bent on getting informa tion for the countless young girls who ask how to cease from blushing and be at rest from embarrassment. "I never knew that I blushed until just recently," said Miss Davis, and this time the color that hud ebbed to a soft pink flamed back into her cheeks like a Killarney rose. “I think it was really cruel of the people to call my attention to it, for, while I must have blushed all my life, as long as I don’t think about it, it real ly doesn’t matter, does it? “I sympathize now with girls who are teased about blushing by their family and friends, for there’s nothing quite so distressing as to feel tiiat you are rush ing a signal of embarrassment to your cheeks when you’re not embarrassed at all.

"Sometimes people say that one blushes because one is very sensitive, but I don’t think that’s true. Now. I’m sensitive because my hair is red, but 1 don’t blush when I think of that.” And to illustrate the contrariness of womankind. Miss Davis grew scarlet.

"Why, tin- :ain is the best thing in the world for your complexion, and I'd always use rain water if I could; the way they do in fairy tales and beauty books, only, of course, you can’t get it unless you go out and let it drop down on your face, straight from Heaven.

Its Benefits. Buckets full of the aforesaid rain were tumbling out of the sky, and x neat little river was flowing from every umbrella in the room, and still this glowing young person continued her dissertation on the benefits of rain water. “Now the real reason why women hate the rain so much is because they’re never quite prepared for it," continued Miss Davis. "Raincoats are clumsy, but what difference does it make? Another thing that few women have is a real rain hat and the right kind of boots. Walking isn’t a popular pastime any- more even in good weath er, because women will not wear the proper kind of shoes. “I walk a great deal and I always wear high boots, even in summer, ex cept in the house or for walking very short distances.

And then wom en wonder why they are not healthy. It’s extraordinary how much common sense ad<lce. you can read about, and how little gets accepted.” And with tnis very wise remark pret ty Miss Davis lapsed into silence, and the mackintosh brigade slowly filed by her. wishing that the gloomiest day of the year affected them as little as it did this vivid and beautiful girl, who went out into the rain again as gayly as a duck takes to water, and who really likes it. WOMEN, AVOID OPERATIONS Many Unsuccessful And Worse Suffering Often Fol lows. Mrs. Rock’s Case A Warning. The following letter from Mrs. Orville Rock will show how unwise it is for wo-! men to submit to the dangersof a surgical; operation when often it may be avoided by taking Lydia E.

Last year in May he told me he loved me and we agreed to wait two or three years until he would be able to support a wife. We have not told my mother of this, but she seems to suspect it. She says he lias lots of girls, and that he receives letters each day from a girl who must be madly in love with him. for site writes sev eral a day sometimes. Do you think she just says this so I will not think so much of him? WORRIED. I can not believe any mother would stoop to such deceit. You owe it to tier and to yourself to tell her of your engagement with this man. More than this, he owes it to you to make it known. He is not doing you justice in asking that it be concealed.
