Lovers have always longed and yearned over the skeins
of silk on tin* heads of the women they loved. Sometimes
her hair is short, gypsy dark, tangled in curls, metallic and
crisp.
Sometimes it is brown and fine and long and sleek.
Sometimes it is velvet-black and Indian-straight, shad

Sometimes it is red, glitt

Sometimes it is deep-gol

A rope thick as her good wrist,

That scented mass, that smells of wheat,

About Introducing People
By MRS. FRANK LEARNED.

York To-day.”
T HERE are many sorts of Intro
ductions, the ceremonious nnd
the unceremonious, the pre
meditated and unpremeditated intro
ductions, but under ull circumstances
there Is one rule to he remembered,
and it is that indiscriminate intro
ductions should not be made. There
should be some knowledge on the part
of anyone making an introduction
that it will la' agreeable to the per

I heard a young mother
talking to her little son
about his teeth—tell
ing him how important
it is that the teeth be
kept clean.
“If you want to be a big, strong
bov,** she said, “and then a big,
strongman,) ou must have good
teeth. And to keep your teeth
sound you must remember now,
while you are a little boy, to
bru. h them twice every day.**
The young mother told me
that the youngster liked the
taste of Ribbon Dental Cream
and that this had helped her in
inducing him to form the im
portant daily habit. Of course,
she talked with him about it
now and then to impress on him
the great advantapo to his
health and comfort that comes
with this dailv care. “Then
twice a year.’* she added, “I
have the dentist look him over.”

Judgment must be used in deciding
the question of introducing people >r
the propriety of not doing so.
The general rule to be remembered
1» that when an introduction is pre
meditated the wishes of both persons
should be consulted. A man should
not be introduced to a woman when
the introduction is premeditated, un
less her consent is asked. The cus
tom is for a man to ask a friend in
common to introduce him to a lady
at any social gathering. It is then
proper for the person making the in
troduction to say, unobtrusively,
"May 1 introduce Mr. C.?” Thus a
woman has the option of declining,
but a request of the sort is not re
fused unless there is some very good
reason for a refusal. The formula
used in introducing is: "Miss B., al
low me to introduce Mr. C.” In a
very informal introduction the men
tion of the names is sufficient, thus.
"Mr. <J.. Miss B." It will be observed
that the positive rule of propriety is
thut a mun is introduced to a woman,
never the reverse.
A hostess has much responsibility
in bringing people together. It is
her duty to ascertain, for instance,
how a new acquaintance will be re
ceived -whether it is the wish of
everyone concerned to know each oth
er before she invites them to a lunch
eon or a card party or any other
small and intimate affair. Her own
good nature in wishing that those
whom she knows well should meet
each other is not a sufficient cause
for bringing them together.
The general conditions of society
should be known to a hostess. Even
if enemies are introduced to each oth
er, they can not let their hostess
know of the mistake. An instance of
the ignorance of a ho9toss as to con
ditions and the distress caused by her
lack of knowledge and experience was
in the case of two persons whom she
had included in dinner invitations and
whose engagement had been broken
off Unfortunately, she sent them in
to dinner together. Bravely they made
the best of it, but at the close of the
evening the girl’s distant bow indi
cated to the man that there could
never be a renewaJ of former condi
tions.
At a dance or a general entertein-
ment a hostess has the privilege of
introducing young people to each oth
er, and she should see that shy peo
ple are introduced and that all have
opportunities for enjoyment.

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
By ANNA KATHARINE GREEN
One of the Greatest Mystery Stories Ever Written
(Copyright, 1913. by Anna Katharine
Green.)
TO-DAY’S IN ST ALLMENT
Dr. Cameron’s courtesy had by this
time returned. He pushed forward a
chair and invited his visitor to sit down.
"I shall be happy to hear," said he,
and lent his full attention, while Gene
vieve, turning with chill dignity, with
drew into a window recess near by.
"I am Julius Molesworth. If you do
not remember me as your former class
mate and fellow-practitioner, you prob
ably will us one of the leading witnesses
in an inquest which has aroused consid
erable attention of late."
Dr. Cameron’s countenance changed.
For reasons that we know, he had taken
a great Interest in this inquest, al
though he had said nothing about It to
his wife.
"Pardon me,” he replied. “I do recol
lect. I read of the death of your af
fianced wife with the utmost sympathy,
for ”
"For she died upon the same night
that you were married," broke in Dr.
Molesworth, completing the other’s sen
tence.
Dr. Cameron bowed.
"It is of Miss Farley and her unac
countable death that I have firet to
speak," continued the intruder calmly.
"If you have read the proceedings, you
know what the verdict was and what
general credence was given me at the
Inquest. You will therefore be surprised
to hear that for some reason unknown
to me the police authorities have seen fit
to discredit the evidence given by me
at that time, and that I ste.nd before you
now in the character of an accused
man, with the prospect of arrest be
fore me."
A Conundrum.
"1—am sure " Dr. Cameron stam
mered. glancing with some embarrass
ment at the tall and Immovable figure
of his wife, outlined against the faint
yellow of the evening sky.
"Do not think you must express sur
prise or sympathy,” interpolated Dr.
Molesworth coldly: "I am Innocent.
But." he continued, with less dignity
but more fervor, “that has nothing to
do with the fact that my prospects are
ruined by this suspicion and my career
at an end. Whether I am committed
to trial or not. my name must suffer
and my practice receive a shock from
which it will be long In recovering. It
is a great misfortune to me. I acknowl
edge. but you may make it a less se
rious one if you will."
"I?"
"It is a conundrum which I have pro
pounded to you." he observed, in calm
allusion to what lie had before said.
"As you seem to possess no key to it—”
He paused and one would have said he
held his breath for a moment—"I shall
have to produce my own. I—” he
paused. "Did your wife speak?” he
suddenly asked, rising with every ap
pearance of respect.
"I think not,” returned the other
somewhat haughtily.
Dr. Molesworth bowed and again sat
down. "Excuse me." he cried and Dr.
Cameron was sure he heard him sigh;
"I would not wish to weary the lady.”
Then with recurrence to his businesslike
tones. “I asserted that you could help
me. It was not lightly said, for you
are a bold man and an aml\,'us one.
"If a complicated and dangerous case
were given you that demanded unusual
measures, you would take them, I am
sure. If that case belonged to another
man and he were sick and disabled
from attending to his duties, you would
listen to his diagnosis and make your
self acquainted with his theory of cure,
and if It met with your approval, ac
cept it as your own and treat that case
with all the Interest and attention
which you would have bestowed upon it
if the method of treatment had been
your own.”
"I think so,” returned the other,
simply
"Well, such a case I have,” pro
ceeded Dr. Molesworth. with steady
Impressiveness. "The patient is Bridget
Halloran; you have doubtless heard of
her and how she has been given up by
Drs. S. and B . But I am certain
that she can be cured. That this line
of treatment” (he looked toward the
detective, who thereupon handed him a
slip of paper) "will prove startingly ef
ficacious and give to the man bold and
determined enough to use It an enviable
notoriety."
"Let me see," exclaimed the other,
his professional interest aroused in spite
of himself.
The paper was handed to him. and
the doctors' two heads, so dissimilar in
appearance and yet so like in their ex
pression of intellectual superiority, came
together over it.
The consultation which followed will
not interest the reader. It was purely
professional and had enough technical
terms in it to awe me from any attempt
to reproduce it. Enough that as they
proceeded Dr. Cameron’s look of re
serve and possible prejudice gave way
to one of undisguised admiration, and he
asked, without any tone of envy in his
voice:
"How did you come by this, Moles
worth? It has the appearance of a
positive discovery to me.”
"I got it by hard thought." was the
other s reply "i get nothing by intui
tion, as you do.
”So much the more credit to you,” ob
served Dr. Caineron, folding up the pa
per and putting it in his pocket.
"And you will take the case?"
"On the condition that if successful
the entire credit shall be yours.”
A look hard to fathom flashed In the
dark eye of Julius Molesworth for an
Instant. It seemed as if he longed to
hold out his hand; but he did not do it,
and an instant's silence fell upon the
group.
"There seems to be no further reason
for our remaining here,” Dr. Moles
worth at length observed. "I have fin
ished my business, and," tuning toward
the detective, "am now at your serv
ice." And yet he seemed in no hurry
to go.
As for Mr. Gryce, he showed no signs
of having heard the doctor. His glance
had fallen upon a strip of passementerie
on Mrs. Cameron’s silken skirts. From
his puckered brows it looked as though
he were studying a problem.
The detective tore his gaze from the
strip of passementerie which had so en
gaged his attention and followed him.
The stern and solemn picture which
they both carried away with them was
that of a woman's tall and rigid form
stretched as it wore on a cross against
a sky. down which were slowly flutter
ing the first flakes of a coming snow
storm.
Curiosity or Interest?
T HAT evening there was a great
ball in Washington, and the
woman who shone the most re
splendent and received the most homage
was our young bride, Genevieve Cam
eron. Even her husband, who had be
gun to expect everything from her, was
amazed. Words in which she was some
times lacking came freely from her lips,
and the wit which in her case took
the place of knowledge, glittered in all
she said with Just enough keenness to
fascinate. Her white hair made her
conspicuous, and her beaming eyes and
| dimpling mouth, amid whose smiles just
the hitn of smothered feeling showed it
self at times, caused the gaze which
| fell upon her to linger till happy jeal
ousy had laughingly whispered In her
ear:
"It is fortunate this is our last ball
here, or I should soon be ordering cof
fee and pistols for myself and some of
these flerce-looking ambassadors.”
Mrs. General F approached her
was caressing father than Impertinent,
but Mrs. Cameron was much displeased,
and showed it by the angry flush that
crimsoned her brow and neck. Her
words nevertheless were gracious,
though she did not answer the other’s
question.
"I am really much obliged to you for
your appreclktion,” she cried; "but I
really can not give such a weighty se
cret away so lightly. I have gnomes
and fairies to do my work, and have
sworn never to reveal their where
abouts.”
Back to Mother.
It was a trifling incident—almost too
trifling to record—but it wearied her,
and it was not long before she testified
her wish to return home. In the early
morning they started for New York.
It had been Dr. Cameron’s intention
to carry his wife direct to the home he
had prepared for her. But their unex
pected return made this inadvisable,
and he accordingly took her to St.
\ichoias place. She had not wished to
go there, but she did not know how to
make objection, so she said nothing, and
by 6 o’clock of that same day she found
herself in her mother’s arms.
"My dearest!” was that mother’s
grateful salutation as she turned her
cold cheek formally to her daughter’s
lips. "What a delightful surprise! And
your father—how pleased he will be!
But what an undutiful child you have
been not to write to me! I don’t believe
a word about the rheumatism which Dr.
Cameron says is your sole excuse. You
never had the rheumatism before you
were married. You have simply been
lazy or anxious to show your power
over your good husband. He has writ
ten quite regularly, good for nothing girl
that you are!"

Away with the instruments of barbarous
butchery! Jacobs’ Magic Corn Liquid
will take out any corn, hard or soft,
whole and positively without pain or
danger. Never pare or cut a corn, for
if the blade slips, as it frequently does,
the corn bleeds, there is serioua danger
of blood poisoning and many deaths
have been caused in this way.
The first application of Jacobs’ Msglo
Corn Liquid gives instant relief from
pain, and if a soft corn of new growth,
will remove it. Hard, deep, stubborn
corns require several applications, but
are just as completely removed, root and
all, and there Is no possibility of danger,
nor pain. Tampering with a corn causes
irritation and makes it harder to re
move. Use Jacobs’ Magic Corn Liquid,
we guarantee it to be successful anu
painless. 20c, by mall 22c.—(Advt.)
