(Copyright, 1913. by Anna Katharlnt Green.) came to know your wife better you might have wondered at certain defects in her, but you would by that time have become so accustomed to them that you would have passed them off as many people are passing off her eccentricities to-day by the simple phrase, ‘Genevieve is changed; she is not what she used to be.’ adding, possibly, in your own mind, ‘It Is not the first time a woman has dropped her music after marriage.’ ” "True, true; and I will acknowledge now that I can hardly remember the Genevieve Gretorex 1 courted, for this dazzling, fresh creature who has taken her place. Deceitfully, l own, but with no wicked Impulse to make that deceit an entirely unpardonable one." Somewhat astonished, Mr. Gryce drew back. "You seem relieved," he remark ed. "by this discovery which we have made." "I am. How can I help It when it giveB me a wife uncontaminated by a mad, if innocent passion for another man." "But a—a " "Dressmaker you would say. I know, but also Genevieve’s sister and her su perior in intellect, beauty and I dare to hope, worth," he interjected the doc tor. "For though she entered into this fraud without seeming compunction, she has since given signs of honest repent ance for the wrong she has done, and with it shown such affection for the man she has deceived that I am sure she needs nothing but a s!*w of considerate feeling on my part to develop into a woman I can not only love but respect." Mr. Gryce came forward again." | "You make my duty very hard," said he. "Your duty?" "You seem to think the whole mat ter is settled by this discovery of Mrs. real Identity, and that you and who from his services seems to have understood the situation, showed the determination and forethought we would expect from a man desirous of concealing a murder. His whole action shows that he thought Mildred Farley had committed a crime, and if he thought so " "We do not know what he thought; we can never take his thoughts into account; he Is dead, and we have no record of his beliefs," asserted Dr. Cam eron boldly. But the blow had told, he knew—who so well—that Moles worth was afraid to communicate to him the truth as to the identity of his wife, and what could this fear argue but a belief in the guilt which this discovery would make apparent. "We will not argue the question any further, Dr. Cameron,” the detective now declared. "While there were doubts as to my duty. I was willing and more than willing to talk, but now that I see my way clear, I have no de sire to say anything more, and would advise you as a friend to say nothing more either." This was a new tone for the detective to take and it struck Dr. Cameron for cibly He saw that whateevr his own convictions might be, whatever the truth even, she held, in the eyes of the police at least, the position of a pos sible criminal and must ever hold it. now that her only witness had per ished, unless by some decisive action By WILLIAM F. KIRK. TO DAY’S INSTALLMENT. T SEEN a item from Washington I the other day," said the Manl- cure Lady, “that tells how the wife of Vice President Marshall is a baseball fan. I wonder who got that in the paper for her." "Why?" asked the Head Barber. "Why?” echoed the Manicure Lady. "Gee, George, you can be thicker some mornings than a Russian serf, or what ever it is they call jaspers over in Rus sia. Why, don't you know that the wife of a Vice President, or the Vice President himself, or any of his folks is supposed to be dead ones so far as newspapers is concerned. When I read that item I noticed the heading In the paper, and it said: ‘Mrs. Marshall a Baseball Fan.’ I says to myself ‘Mar shall, Marshall, where have 1 heard that name before?’ Honest to goodness, George, if I had asked you quick, wou'd you have been able to tell me the name of the Vice President?" "I was convinced before. I have nev er had more than a passing doubt from the moment this possibility was sug gested to me. There were too many facts In the past to confirm It, petty facts, Ignored at the time, but showing themselves now in their true light as the way marks of a great and skilfully carried out deception. Her ignorance, hidden under sphinxlike smiles which made it look like wisdom, or at the W'ors indifference, her caprtice about names which she vowed she never re membered; her professed short-sighted ness; her silence when conversation was expected; her talkativeness when si lence would have been more appro priate; the wit with which she parried attacks; the glance and the smile which filled all gaps and disarmed all criti cism. Then the attitude she took to ward Mr. and Mrs. Gretorex, leading to those rather formal relations which were her only safeguard; her refusal to viBit much except where a crowd was expected, and a word and a look were all that was required of her, and finally the excuses she always found when I pressed her to sing or play, or write, or talk on anything but general subjects It is all clear now. and while I wonder at her tact, I also wonder I never felt a suspicion of truth, even when I found her so much more bril liant, gifted and beautiful than I had anticipated or had a right to anticipate from what I knew of Genevieve Greto rex." "I do not think it strange. You* courtship had not been long enough and you will excuse me if I say, intimate enough, for you to feel confident In your knowledge of her. Then a bride is neVer quite what n girl is, and any caprice she might show in her present capacity could bo easily be attributed to the change which matrimony invariably brings. I do not wonder at all that you were deceived; I am only annoyed that 1 was." "But you torex." "I know'; but a detective never ex cuses himself. I felt an incongruity somewhere, but I was not particular enough in asking its true meaning. I, who knew there were two of them, and also knew Jiow much they looked alike.’’ "Well, I can not see that this is strange. It would have taken a most penetrating genius to detect what es caped the eye of husband and parents." Mr. Gryce lokoed as if he felt himself possessed of such a genius, but he sim ply observed: "It was all planned with consummate judgment, and I should like to know to which brain the credit of the scheme is due. Had the expectations of Genevieve been realized, had she found an accom plice in Dr. Molesworth and had been married to him as she hoped. I do not think your honeymoon would have been interrupted by a doubt.

"1 don’t think I would,” admitted the Head Barber. "Of course you wouldn’t," said the Manicure Lady, "and neither would three other people out of four. You see. George, the Vice President of a great nation is like the vice president of anything else. They have to wait till the main squeeze croaks before they go to the tailor for a new wardrobe. Everybody hopes they are well and happy, but nobody sees their name in the paper and wouldn’t know who it was if they did see It in print. "‘A treasurer is some guy, George, whether he is the treasurer of the country or the treasurer of a dry goods firm. There is something kind of solid sounding about a treasurer, and his name looks cute on a check. You may not think him as great as a president, but you always see something beauti ful about his rugged features on pay day. And a secretary is a kind of im portant gink, too. He has to read the minutes of the last meeting and attend to the correspondence. A secretary may not be so much in a firm, but he can make more noise dictating to the ste nographer than the president makes." "You seem to know a who e lot about the business world for a simple g’.rl that never .had to work nowhere except in this shop," said the Head Barber.

"Yes, but Teddy is different," said the Manicure Lady.

"You poor- simp, the Tiber was a lake just outside of Home." satisfied us all that Mrs. Cameron’s maiden name was Mildred Farley. I would like the same opportunity of proving to you that though she took her sister’s place and identity she did not take her life. Will you come up stairs again, Mr. Gryce?" But the detective hesitated. "I know what you contemplate," he afTIrmed, "and would advise you to pause. It is a risky thing you are going to do. Besides, the lady Is not neces sarily your wife ” "What?" "No court in the country would hold you to a marriage forced upon you by such fraud." The doctor flushed. looking away, and for a moment was silent. Then he de clared, firmly: "She is my wife; I accept her as such, however my experiment ends. I should have no right to make it, did I not ex pect to share the consequences of it with her." Mr. Gryce took off his hat. Was It in deference, or because he had determined to stay? Both, perhaps. "Then you are resolved, knowing that in doing this you make a witness of me?" "Yes, for I be’ieve in her innocence, and must have it established before the world." And he led Mr. Gryce back into his wife's room, saying, "I will not keep you waiting long The effects of the drug l administered to her must have nearly passed away." The scene to which they thus re turned was not that of a few minutes ago. The poor and sordid furniture had been removed and the rich and stately belongings of the room restored. The form of Mrs. Olney had been replaced by that of the nurse, and nowhere was there to be seen the least token of that strange and remarkable transformation which had deceived tne half-wakened woman into a belief that she was a girl again. Even the rings had been re stored to her hands, and on the tab e near by ticked the watch which her husband Kid given her in those happy days in Washington. As for herself, she lay quiet, though her eyelids fluttered faintly, and than her limbs moved as if she were in grief or pain. Cameron's have nothing before you but I reconcili ation with your wife." Dr. Cameron utterad an ejaculation. "And do you mean to say that you still retain the suspicions you entertained of her when you thought her the maddened and desperate daughter of Mr. Greto rex?" The detective sighed; he was evidently weary of the tormenter’s part he had to play so long. "I should have thought.” he observed 'that you would have perceived had never seen Miss Gre- gently, without my aid that the suspicions al ready attached to your wife by the po lice would be heightened rather than diminished by the discovery that it was Genevieve Gretorex's substitute who survived to marry you instead of Gene vieve herself." "I had not looked at It so. I felt so sure this was her great secret that I never questioned If she possessed an other." "I wish that we were not obliged to. But when we think of the circum stances and consider the temptation she was under, w’e dare not let the matter slide without a legal Investigation. For if Miss Gretorex had sufficient deter mination to undertake the re-estahllsh- , ment of herself as Mr Gretorex's daughter and your bride, she certainly had enough to carry that undertaking through if she had not been stopped in some forcible way by Mildred. Khe did not carry it through. What, then, are we to think? That she threw away her life to please a sister’s whim, or that that sister found some way of inducing the death which left her In the enviable position she had assumed?" There could be but one answer. "The poison was Genevieve’s. It w’as in a casket In Genevieve’s drawer. Is It ciedible that Mildred should know this, or knowing it be ahje to use 11 upon Genevieve without that person perceiving what was being given her to drink?” "It is the weak point.

Meaning and Expression. The Ideal Position. The center picture gives you a side view of this standing figure. This position is the next s ep in advance. I am relaxing a bit as the coat is doffed, and my weight is slipping slowly to one foot in anticipation of sinking with gentle relaxation into a chair. Mear me, Mademoiselle. "Make haste sloyly." Never jerk—never be abrupt. Study the "Lazy grace" of slow, contained movement which I have tried to illustrate for you here. In the picture at the left I am trying to Illustrate for you the mean ing and expression that may be put into a simple standing position. The arms are clasped loosely in front. There is no awkward relaxation here - but attention. Talk to a standing woman and see how ungracefully she relaxes and how she shifts uneasily from foot to foot. But in light poise and simple focusing of attention I find it possible to give heed to a con versation without loosing all mus cular control of my body in the in terests of my mind. From any of these standing posi tions—as must always be the case when you stand correctly—it is pos sible to start forward easily into a light, graceful walk.

Youth oan carry' off a certain amount of awkwardness simply by freshness and briskness—but that may mean a middle age without grace and an old age of antique uncouth ness. Divide Your Weight. When a woman has lost the fresh ness of youth there are Just three things that will make her socially tolerable—grace, cleverness and kind ness. And the greatest of these Is grace. I have told you "Why" at some length—now let me follow up my preaching with an account of my practice. I will tell you "How." I am illustrating what I mean by three of my new photographs. In the one at the right I show you Just what my ideal is of a natural Handing position. Balance your weigh* so lightly on the balls of your f that you could easily rock back forward if you chose. But If you vvi t choose. You must cultivate p ot repose when you are in repos* Divide your weight equally between your feet, so that the flowing lines of your figure will be equal, unbroken and graceful as is any flowing line. Carry your shoulders down, straight and even, neither sunk forward nor strained back. As your shoulders are down, so keep your chest high. Thus every vi tal organ has its fair chance of room to breathe for itself—and air to breathe too. Carry your head lightly and high. Feel In every muscle a willingness to spring into action. Be conscious of vitality like that of an athlete ready to start into mo tion. And vet for your womanly grace j be as light as a flower, the lightest j breeze may set a-swaying. Difficult?
