Beauty Secrets of Beautiful Women
"Study Your Expression," Says Pretty Gertrude Barnes
SYNOPSIS.
Gordon Kelly, a young North Geor
gia mountaineer, comes to Atlanta
to get a place with Billy Smith’s
Cracker*. It is raining when he
reaches Ponce DeLeon and he Is
nearly run over by an auto, in which
are two persons a man and a young
girl. The driver of the car Is an ar
rogant fellow The girl makes him
stop the machine. She gets out and
Inquires If Kelly is injured. She
apologizes for her companion’s
brusque manner Kelly sees Mana
ger Smith ani tells him he has never
played a game of ball. Smith con
sents to flive Kelly a trial The girl
in the auto is Mildred Decry, daugh
ter of Galen Deerv, a crafty and
wealthy speculator in timber lands.
Her companion is Forrest Cain, a
rich young man about town Kelly
owns timber land that Deery would
like to possess. Kelly is invited to
the Deery home, where he is intro
duced to Mildred. Cain hears Mil
dred order an auto to take her guest
to his hotel. He takes the driver’s
place and carries Kelly out into the
woods. Kelly thrashes Cain.
Now go on with the story.
Smith was the recipient of all sorts
of pleasant jibes. Every friend or
acquaintance he met had something
to say about the "world beater.” The
manager took everything in good
part, but mentally acknowledged that ;
he had overplayed himself in making j
public the signing of Gordon Kelly.
"1 ought to have said nothing about
it,” he thought. "Now he will Just
have to make good or they’ll give me
the laugh all over the country. But,”
he added, grimly,” that kid will make
good, all right, all right.”

"Walt till I tell you, Mr. Callaway."
Interrupted the manager. "Excuse us
a minute, Gordon,” he added. "1 want
to say something to Mr. Callaway,"
and he drew the president to an In
ner office, where he told him the little
he had been able to learn about Kelly.
When he had concluded, Callaway
said:
"And you signed him up on the
strength of that drive that brpke the
bull’s ribs?”
"Yes. sir; that was enough for me."
"Well, Billy, you know 1 consider
you are best manager in the world.
And I reckon you know what you’re
doing. I will put through this con
tract. out remember, Billy, you must
shoulder all the responsibility. If
this Gordon Kelly ’blows up’ the
laugh will be on you, not me.”
"I’ll take my chances on that,” said
the manager, confidently.
"Anyway, it will make good read
ing in the newspapers. Send for the
reporters, Billy, and we’ll tell ’em all
about your world beater.”
The reporters came, they saw, but
they were not conquered. They took
copious notes of all the manager told
them, but they refused to "fall” for
Kelly as a ballplaye r. They admired
his shape and looks but demanded
that they be "shown” before commit

of the new man.

W HAT Gorden Kelly himself
thought of the "funny” sto
ries printed about him In the
newspapers no one ever knew. Bill
Smith eyed his "wofld beater” keenly
when he reported In the clubhouse at
Ponce Deftoon Park early Monday
morning. But Kelly was the same,
quiet, good natured young man Smith
had always found him to be.
"He's a game dog. sure enough, '
said the manager to himself, and sat
1®fled with this disposal of the case,
he began putting on his uniform.
It was the day on whlyia the play
ers of the Atlanta club were to re
port for spring practice, and 1t was
a fine day overhead. There was to
be a montrf of hard grind for th
men in order that they might get Into
condition for the gruelling pennant
race of the Southern League. Play
ers of the rival clubs In New Orleans,
Birmingham. Memphis, Chattanooga,
Mobile, Nashville and Montgomery
were supposed to report to their man
agers about the same time. In other
parts of the South, in Athens. Ga..
In Augusta, 1n Hot Springs. Ark., in
Marlin Springs, Tex., in Tampa, Fla.,
and elsewhere the big league clubs
the North, and the Rod Sox cham
pions of the world and of the Ameri
can League; the New York Giants,
champions of the National League,
the Chicago Cubs, the Detroit Tigers,
the Athletics, of Philadelphia, th* 1
Browns, of St. Louis, the Cleveland
club, the Washington club, the Pitts
burg Pirates, the Cincinnati Reds, the
Phillies, the Brooklyn* and the Bos
ton* Braves were already training un
der the watchful eyes of the big
league managers.
In far off California the Chicago
White Sox and in Bermuda the New
York Americans in charge of Frank
Chance, had pitched their training
camps. At about this time, too. many
of the International League^ clubs
Buffalo, Toronto, Providence, Mon
treal, Baltimore. Newark, Jersey
City and Rochester were scheduled
to open their training season below
the Mason ami Dixon line. Likewise
the American Association clubs -St.
Paul. Minneapolis, Indianapolis. Kan
sas Cjty, Toledo. Columbus, Milwau
kee and Louisville-' were due iu tlu
South about this time for their an

"Sunny Land” richer every year by
about $200,000. of which the railroads
and the hotels get the lion's share
and the moving picture shows, the
laundries and the cigar stands what
is left.
Players Arrive.

dressed in their uniforms before the

Rarnes. She had just finished
doing live character songs in character-
1 isit io costumes. She had run the gamut
j of ,emotion from the naughty little "en-
i fant terribl#” through the stranded show
girl longing for the "old Kentucky home’’
to the mirth-mad exponent of "Row,
| row, row." And all this earnest and
; successful effort to please her audience
i left her opol, buoyant and ready to give
[ the whole world of girls th* kindly ben-
' eflt of her study of how to have "a
: sane mind In a healthy body."
"Expression is important for charac
ter as well as to aid the search after
beauty,’’ said pretty Miss Gertrude, with
| laughing earnestness. "I used to be
afraid to smile all I wanted to for fear
1 would get those heavy lines from
nostril to lip; and then suddenly I be
came aware of all the hard-looking
i faces one sees and the chief reason

"()h. my circle Is not complete yet,"
laughed the cheery star, "1 have a lit

out into it all you can, and hunt, and

healthfulness by going after it very
earnestly. Being a water-baby and be
ing an outdoor girl are almost equally
important; they both make you healthy,
and if you are wise enough to be both
your chances of being a beauty increase.
"You see, fresh air and exercise

But on this latter bit of informa

winsome charm of a bright face and
the pose of a healthy body surely de
serve the title of beauty.
"Now about arranging your face to

"Not lines that stay," answered Miss
Barnes. "You see, I have a few meth

"Sunburn and tan" T exclaimed "I
thought they were fatal to the fine tex

they give the fresh new layer waiting

"Little cousin," he said with the
deep tenderness of the man who
finds happiness in the joy of the
woman he loves, though he be shut
from her very life, “there is nothing
the matter with me. Life gives me
almost all I want. No one can have
everything. A banker’s life has not
much color aud passion; I would
lather make music than money. Bur.
don’t think he stupidly discontented
—or ungrateful for all i have. 1 can
not say all I mean! There is one
thing in the world—In ALL THE
WORLD there is one thing I want.
For this I would give the world itself,
if it were mine—and all the money in
the world. And all life would be
music, and color and passion then.
And 1 can't tell you—I must never
speak of It to you—and you will
never understand!”
Outside sunshine and rises—here
renunciation of al lthe joy life must
never hold. Jacob felt (hat must
stifle in this litle room where hope
had died He strode to the doorway
to the gleaming terrace.
The Old Story.
And then slowly, swayed by a feel
ing she felt must be pity, Charlotte
followed him, “Jacob, perhaps I do
understand."
"Charlotte! If you do—I shall have
spoken no word. In a sense it was
not honorable of me—though at first
I only meant to warn you. and I
never thought; I should -yard you
against myself. Dear little Char
lotte—forget what I said!”
"1 cannot forget so easily!" Char
lotte’s eyes were very soft, her little
quivering lips were dangerously near,
but Dame Fate had chosen capri
ciously to make this a day of unfin
ished climaxes, and only Frau Guda-
ia’3 ready wit and loving heart inter
vened between the girl and a rather
tragic scene, for at the particular
moment when the sunny doorway
framed the pretty picture she mad°-
as she stood looking pleadingly at a
sorely-tempted Jacob, the hall door
opened, admitting the Duke and Frau
Gudula and her sons.
Gustavus of Taunus was asking: "I
may have the honor of addressing
your daughter?” and Grannie saved
the situation. "There is wine in the
garden—if you will honor rne. Char
lotte, dear, will you and Jacob show
Count Fehrenberg* the wav? Duke
Gustavus, could you make up your
mind to a little chat with an old
woman? Would you stop here with
me—alone—for a few minutes? I ask
it as a favor.” And so Grannie pre
pared to make her flgjit for the hap
piness of her qjuldren.
"May 1 forget for a few moments
that I am an old Jewess—and you a
reigning Prince? 1 want to speak to
you about Charlotte. She lost her
mother many years ago—and now, at
this important time of her life. 1
must try to be a mother to the child.
My son Solomon, you know, some
times sees only one side to a ques
tion,. the one he wants to see. But
I have looked at this iparriage be
tween you and Charlotte from many
points of view—have you? Do you
see the difficulties and danger?”
Gustavus thought for a moment of
the girl who wished him to make this
marriage in order that she might
be the cousin of a wealthy man In
stead of a pauper Prince. The tricksy
jade with her lying eyes—and for one
supreme moment he had thought per
haps he and Evelyn might abdicate
and face poverty together—well, she
wanted money—on with the dance
called life! Prince of Taunus, must
dance to his piping—then dance mer
rily* and proudly for all the world to
see.
He answered the earnest old Jewess
lightly indeed. “Oh, I admit the dan
gers in this marriage, Baroness. But
t'ifby make the prospect more fas
cinating—to me. After all, J do not

for me with mathematical certainty!
I prefer to run a litle risk! 1 have
lived in a world that grows tired of
old games—and is always ready to

"But marriage is not a game,” said
the old woman. To her marriage was
a Sacrament.

consequences are not too early seen.
