Making a megaphone of her hands she
called up:
Throw in your first—throw in your
first—that‘ll slacken you.”
But even before she spoke the man In
the car had been attempting to do so. The
lever shot forward, and then before he
could try to mesh the gears, the car lit
erally careened on two wheels. The rid
er s hand was forced to quit the lever and
with his other hand grasp more firmly
the wheel.
He rounded the curve and literally fell,
car and man, down the last descent that
separated him from the bit of road beside
the Falconhurst stables. Now he seemed
to have dear sailing, for the road ran
straight, and half a mile beyond the sta
bles there was a: slight rise that would
be more than sufficient to check the speed
of the car, Intense though It was.
As car and man blurred past Lady Di
ana she thought she caught from the car
the words, “Thank you,” and the flash
of a hand waved In the air.
T he next instant there was a thunder
ous crash, followed by the manifold and
multitudinous sounds of separate mech
anisms of metal being rent asunder all In
one second, yet following one another In
minute fractions of that second.
The eye of the rider must have devi
ated from his course In that brief point
of time when he had waved his hand and
called his thanks to the girl who had the
presence of mind to shout to him the only
thing possible in that crisis.
The Accident.
His car, deviating ever so slightly in
that instant, had rushed into the stone
corner of the bridge just at the side of
the footpath. It lay in fragments and
twisted bits of metal. The man, hurled
to the middle of the highway, sprawled
there, bleeding and unconscious.
For a long moment men and women
stood without moving. Then Rayner and
Beverley broke the spell, and a half doz
en of them darted forward, took up the
form in the road, and carried it into the
stable yard. Lady Diana upon her arm
received the limp, hanging head, as they
put the man upon the ground.
Quick, Lambert, some brandy," order
ed Beverley to the Whip's trainer.
“Grandfather, he's dying,” exclaimed
pityingly Lady Diana.
Then she looked long into the face.
“It's the stranger, my artist,” she said,
a vast sadness falling upon her as she
saw the wrist lying there limp upon
which not so long before the hunter had
set its mark. He had laughed so blithely
and had taken so good naturedly- what
had seemed to her a matter of so much
concern, and here he lay dead, or dying.
Poor stranger! Poor artist! But a step
from laughter to death, she reflected
sadly.
Now I.ambert had brought the brandy
but he did not hand it to the Marquis
as he caught sight of the poor, pale face.
“It’s Brancaster!”
“My Lord, it's the man we thought a
tout,” he said to his employer.
“I can't help that,” answered Beverley
impatiently. “The pony cart, quick. The
man’s hurt. We must take him to the
castle at once —at once!”
Captain Sartoris had been looking into
the face of the inert stranger on the
ground for several minutes in a puzzled
fashion. He knew- that he knew # the man
but the banishment of the consciousness
had made such a difference in the fea
tures that he could not recall. Suddenly
he made an exclamation.
“Good heavens, cousin! Do you see who
ti.is is?” came from him as memory
cleared.
The Marquis looked at the man on the
ground and then into the face of the cap
tain. an unspoken inquiry in his own eyes.
Sartoris took a deep breath, the better
to subdue his own lively astonishment,
"It's —It's—Brancaster.” he said.

By Beatrice Fairfax
you think it advisable for me to
write and ask him to call if my
parents object? A. H. M.
Your parents are right. You are too
young to think of such things. If the
man’s love is of the lasting quality, he
is waiting for you to grow up, and will
return some time without waiting for
an Invitation from you. Just be patient
and let time decide.
YOU ARE BOTH STUBBORN.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
For two years I kept company’
with a gentleman who claimed to
think very much of me, but through
some misunderstanding on his part
we broke friendship one year ago.
On his return from college I failed
to recognize him, thinking it was
his place to do so first. Today we
spoke for the first time, lie claiming
it was my place to speak first. Now
what I want to know is, was it the
gentleman's place or mine to speak
first, as it was through no fault of
mine we separated? N. D.
My dear girl, tell that lover of yours
that you are both stubborn. Tell him
also that more happiness has been
wrecked on the refusal of two lovers
“to speak first” than the world dreams
of.
Don’t. 1 beg of both of you. let a
stubborn pride wreck yours.
GIVE HIM UP.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a widow of 32, and am keep
ing company with a young man of
23. He Is very' kind and affection
ate. I love hltn dearly, and I would
do anything in the world to marry
him,
. He has no intention of marrying
anybody yet, but he likes to keep
company for friendship.
What would you advise me to
do, as I want to be settled?
JULIA.
A widow of 32 should have some
higher aim than marrying a boy of 23
against his will.
If you love him truly, you love him
too much to accept any sacrifice from
him.
If your love is no more titan a desire
to be “settled," go to work and make a
homo for yourself. Being “settled” Is
not dependent these days on matri-
Clothes Make the Woman, Says Mary Lawton

Mary Lawton in “The Case of Becky,” who thinks clothes have great
effect on women's characters.
By Margaret Hubbard Ayer
UXT , '' T long ago a clergyman was
severely criticised for encour
aging girls, especially wage
earning gilts, to dress as well as they
could, possibly even a little better. Ac
cording to Miss Mary Lawton, that
clergyman understood the psychology
of clothes, the moral effect of dress.
Miss Lawton is the beautiful Val
kyrie-like person who submerges her
temperamental and emotional self as
Becky’s nurse, who has not one shred
of humor or imagination In her compe
tent and conscientious care of that
young lady’s case.
"The actor, or I will say the actress,
and speak for myself, realizes the tre
mendous effect which clothes have, not
only on the spirits, but even on the
mannerisms of the person," said Miss
Lawton.
“Let me illustrate. A friend of mine
a charming girl who has had stage as
pirations for some time, but who has
not shown the slightest real talent, was
given a part in a recent production, and
during the rehearsals showed only the
most glaring limitations.
"Her part was that a fashionable
society woman, In other words, it was a
clothes part. She was to wear the most
gorgeous frocks and have the manners,
the grace of bearing, the distinction of
a seasoned society woman of the best
type.
At Dress Rehearsal.
“During rehearsals my poor little
friend, who was really very young and
rather shy and self-conscious, stum
bled about the stage awkwardly, and
was anything but the character she
was trying to impersonate.
"On the night of the dress rehearsal
for the first time, she stepped on the
stage dressed in a magnificent frock,
one of those snake-trained affairs, very
tight around the ankles, U'hich are sup
posed to prove literal stumbling blocks
to the unwary.
“The girl was transformed. With
the clothes of a society woman, with
the coiffure, the aigrette, jewels and
all the hundred and on" accessories, she
had assumed every characteristic of a
woman of that type, and she is a bril
liant success. As she said, ‘the clothes
made me.’ Where before she had teet-

ered shyly across the stage, she now
walked with perfect assurance, and the
carriage of a woman of
the world. Her manners, gestures,
even the tone of her voice, were per
fect. That is what clothes have done
for her.
“The effect of clothes is especially
felt by the actress in a stock company,
whose part changes from week to week,
who is the fairy queen and then the
gypsy maiden, the adventuress, or the
all too-good and«namby-pamby hero
ine. Unless she is an actress of enor
mous experience and a huge repertoire,
she has hardly time to get into the
spirit of each new part, but as she puts
on the crown, the ruche, the hoop skirt
of Queen Elizabeth, the royal garb has
an unconscious and immediate effect
on her bearing, and she feels hqrself a
queen, where last week in other clothes,
the gray habilaments of woe, she felt
herself the much maligned heroine of
modern melodrama.
Dress Very Essential.
"No one can afford to consider dress
an unessential factor both in success
and contentment of spirit," continued
Miss Lawton.
“I remember once a very poor man
coming to my father and asking for
some old clothes. The man had reached
the last extremity of shabbiness, and
with his shiny coat, his frayed trou
sers. he had unconsciously assumed the
down-trodden, W'oe-begone, abject
manner, which an actor would have
thought corresponded to the part. In
stead of giving him clothes that had
been worn, my father fitted the man
out in a completely new suit, and trans
formed him into a person who, for the

time being at least, walked erect, and
was full of self-confidence, and an im
mediate desire to take that position in
the world which his clothes suggested
belonged to him.
"Have you ever studied out the moral
influences of down-trodden heels? A
pair of heels trodden over at one side,
not only throw a. woman’s walk out of
gear, they do somewhat the same thing
to her mental balance. Soiled shoes
and gloves have an immediate effect on
one's manners and way of thinking.
“Not to be well dressed makes one
self-conscious, to say tile least, and
when you are self-conscious you are
never expressing the best that is in you.
"Just as the actress is influenced by
her clothes, the girl in everyday life
acts the part expressed by her cloth
ing. Very few people rise above this,
even if they think they do; It's for that
reason I think the clergyman who was
so bitterly criticised believed that a
woman should dress as well as she
could.
Dress to Your Part.
“You will always find that the wom
an who lacks variety of thought and
interest shows an equal paucity of ideas
in her clothes. She may have plenty
of money, but she affects certain rather
severe styles, and drab or dull colors
or else she is the shirtwaist woman,
who will never unbend to wear the
fluffy, feminine tea gowns or light col
ored frocks in her spare hours at home,
which unconsciously change her train
of thought.
"Whatever your part in life is, you
want to wear the best clothes appro
priate to that part. Good clothes make
you efficient and capable of tilling that
part properly, because of the moral ef
fect of being suitably dressed. Mind
you put a big emphasis on the suita
bly. If you were going to play the part
of a stenographer in a drama, you
would be a very poor actress to dress
that part as if yifu were playing the
lady villain or the circus queen. Suit
your clothes to your role in life, and get
the best yfiu can for that role.”
KEPT HIS WORD.
A good story is told by one of the
members of a collecting team for the
Y. M. C. A. He had called on a promi
nent tradesman several times without
success. At last the merchant caved in
and said:
"Look here, sir, I’ll give you $lO on
condition that you don’t come into my
office again unless I invite you.”
The offer was promptly accepted.
Next morning the unabashed collector
was on the scene again. He knocked
at the merchant’s door, and was told to
“come in!” Then, “What’s the mean
ing of this?” demanded the merchant.
"Didn't I give you a subscription yes
terday on the express condition that
you would not come here unless in
vited?”
“True," was the answer; "but you
asked me to come in when I knocked
and here I am. If you would like to
help our cause further,” etc.
And the merchant did.

A .Matter of Common Sense
Fy Beatrice Fairfax
THE pendulum of fashion has
swung so far toward what the
women like to call "The Artistic”
that it sometimes appears it will never
again swing back to Common Sense.
If a woman can afford to slay in bed
when paying the penalty for appearing
in pumps and silk hose in stormy
weather, that is a matter that concerns
only her. She is the woman who could
stay in bed for a long, long titne before
the world will really miss her.
But it is the woman who is needed;
who is useful; who has a work to do,
and does it, who can not be too harshly
condemned for risking her life and her
usefulness by appearing on the streets
In December in attire that is suggestive
of June.
She is one of the thousands who have
clasped hands around the pendulum of
fashion and are swinging on it far, far,
away from everything that Is sane and
sensible.
She is one of the vast army of women
who disregard comfort in winter, be
cause comfort in winter carries with it
a suggestion of clumsiness.
The foot in high shoe with thick sole
doesn't look as daintj as one In silk
hose and pumps. She clings to her silk
hose and pumps when every draft of
cold air booms its warning of rheuma
tism, tuberculosis, pneumonia and
death.
A throat that is covered affords no
opportunity for the display of what so
many foolish women regard as one of
the greatest of their physical charms.
So she bares her neck to every tiiroat
disease the cold blasts from the north
may carry.
Do You Know-
/
The greatest depth of the sea yet dis
covered is 32,089 feet.
The guinea pig is fully grown when
only six weeks old.
The life-of a steel rail on a main
railroad line is twelve years.
The average weight of man's brain
is 3 pounds 8 ounces, and of woman's
brain 2 pounds 11 ounces.
Part of the cossack soldier's drill
consists in building bridges from lances
with cooking kettles as floats.
The British armj- costs per man
more than twice as much as the most
expensive compulsory service army in
Europe.
French postoffices will in future be
provided—officially—with stamp-mols
tentng appliances, an innovation which
is hailed by the press as a hygienic, re
form.
Wearing tight boots affects the whole
system. Appetite, complexion and eye
sight all suffer. Some physicians assert
that baldness is partly to be ascribed
to this practice.
Blue and pinched with cold, she Im
agines she is a pretty and dainty sight.
A goose with half its feathers plucked
out, wandering in the snow, looks just
as pretty and dainty.
She works side by side with men in
offices who wear warmer underclothing,
heavier coat and vest. She wears the
same thin, lace-trimmed waist she wore
in July.
She falls sick and drops from the
ranks. "Overwork,” her sympathetic
friends, say. with sometimes a look of
reproach at the firm that employed her.
"Thin clothing,” would be their ver
dict if they were absolutely fair and
candid.
If site gets through a week or a
month, qr a winter without a cold, she
boasts that her way of dressing Is the
right way. She isn’t so far-seeing that
she looks ahead to the vast inroads
disease and death are making among
the ranks of working women. She is in
the springtime of her folly, and refuses
to reckon with the harvest time of
women e wito are older and who are pay
ing the penalty.
As I said in the beginning, if a wom
an has unlimited wealth, and can ride
In her limousine, when there are storms,
and command a hot-house heat in her
home, she can be as foolish as she likes,
and should she catch cold, the world
will not suffer any more than it suffers
when any butterfly Is indisposed.
But if she belongs to that glorious
and useful army of women who work,
either in home or in business life, she
owes it to herself, to her family, to her
employers, to the ultimate good she
was put on earth to attain, to be sensi
ble, and to dress sensibly.
No woman with a mission can ac
complish that mission if she sets fortu
on it with tlie snow drifting around
silk-iiose-and-pump-clad feet.
She must be well and strong. She
must have a body removed from pain:
a mind free from apprehension of sick
ness. and a courage that is not im
paired by any sense of physical dis
comfort.
And these - are impossible unless she
is sanely clad.
