The Manicure My Own Beauty Secrets One of the Greatest Mystery Stones Ever Written By ANNA HELD By ANNA KATHARINE GREEN. (Copyright, 1913. by Anna Katharine Green.) came to knov 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 arc 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 I courted, for this dazzling, fresh creature who has taken her place. Deceitfully, I 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 gives me a wife uncontaminated by a mad. if Innocent passion for another man." "But a—a M "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 sl«r>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. Cameron's real identity, and that you have nothing before you but I reconcili ation with your wife." Dr. Cameron uttered 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 gently, "that you would have perceived wdthout my aid that the suspicions al ready attached to your wife by the po lice would be heightened ra|her 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, we dare not let the matter slide without a legal investigation. For if Miss Gretorex had sufficient deter mination to undertake the re-establish- ment of herself as Mr. Gretorex’s daughter and your bride, she certainly had enough to carry that undertaking through if sh© had not been stopped in some forcible way by Mildred She 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 was in a casket in Genevieve’s drawer. Is it credible that Mildred should know this, or knowing it be able to use it upon Genevieve without that person perceiving what was being given her to drink?" "It is the weak point. In opposition to it we offer but one suggestion. Moles- worth, who was the first on the scene. and who from his service! seems to have understood the situation, showed the determination and forethought wo would expect from a man deslrou* of concealing a murder. His whole actlo£ shows that he thought Mildred Farler had committed a crime, and If he thought 00 " "We do not know what he thought: we can never take his thoughts into account; he Is dead, .and 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 By WILLIAM F. KIRK. TO-DAY’S INSTALLMENT. { ^ T SEEN a item from Washington I the other day," said the Mani- 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 I heard that name before?’ Honest to goodness, George, if I had asked you quick, would you have been able to tell me the name of the Vice President?" They Have to Wait. "I 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 whole lot about the business world for a simple girl-that never had to work nowhere except in this shop," said the Head Barber. "I ain’t as learned as a barber,” said the Manicure Lady icily, "but I read more. When I pick up a paper I start in at the front page and skip the rac ing dope. It’s just the opposite with you, George. And if you know anything at all, you know T am speaking true lines when I say that a vice president is like the letters ‘gh’ In ‘straight.’ A vice president that gets his name In the papers to any extent must be same press agent.” A Lake Near Rome. "Oh, I don’t know," said the Head Barber. "Teddy Roosevelt got his name in the papers a lot when he was Vice President and after he was out of it altogether." "Yes, but Teddy is different," said the Manicure Lady'. "I often wonder what he would have did If he had been Emperor of Rome when there wasn’t no newspapers at all. I’ll bet he would have jumped In the Tiber." "What was the Tiber?" asked the Head Barber. “Didn’t I tell you all you knew was racetrack dope?" exclaimed the Mani cure Lady. "You poor simp, the Tiber was a lake just outside of Rome." "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 mad© it look like wisdom, or at the wors indifference, her caprtlce 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 visit 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 It is all clear now, This is the first article of Miss Held's series, and in it she instructs girts how to stand, and hold This article was written in Paris and sent here by the famous French beauty subsequent to her arrival in New York within the next few days for a tour of the States.

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. Your 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. quite what Ti girl is, or ms. the terrible question could bs at once and forever settled. Looking at Mr Gryce and seeing how sober he had become, he took his resolve. "I have an experiment to try," said he. "You have made your test, and satisfied us all that Mrs. Cameron’s maiden name w’as 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 affirmed, "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 hffii determined to stay? Both, perhaps. "Then you are resolved, knowing that in doing this you make a witness of me?" "Yes, for I believe 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 I 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 the 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 table near by ticked the watch which her husband had given her in those happy days in Washington. As for herself, she lay quiet, though her eyelids fluttered faintly, and now and then her limbs moved as if she were in grief or pain. Then a bride is never fitnd any caprice she might show in her present capacity could so 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 I was." "But you had never seen Miss Gre 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 how 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, 1 do not think your honeymoon would have been interrupted by a doubt.

Meaning and Expression. The Ideal Position, By ANNA HELD. (Heading "Anna Held’s All Star Variete Jubilee," Under Management of John Cort.) I walked with an elastic spring as children naturally do. Result? I am my best and most vital self again. Youth can 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. 1 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 standing position. Balance your , weight so lightly on the balls of your feet that you could easily rock back and forward if you chose. But if you will not choose. You must cultivate perfect repose when you are in repose! 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. (’any 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 yet for your womanly grace be as light as a flower, the lightest breeze may set a-swaylng. Difficult? Perhaps—if your idea of standing has been to relax Into meaningless shape. But when you have mastered this first position all that follows will be simplicity itself.

H OW do you stand, Madame or Mademoiselle? How do you walk? How do you enter a room? Probably you have never given much thought to the matter; and yet to be able to stand well, to move well, to enter or leave a room gracefully is the whole social stock in trade of women who get on astonishingly well in society. If you stand well, if it is a pleasure to see vou move, these two graces will not only give you an air of breeding that will help you win your way any where, but they will make you pictur- sque, attractive and a notable figure wherever you go.

You sit gracefully and easily, you look very charming—then you rise, and sink your weight on one hip in a way that makes your figure a dis torted caricature. You walk—and your stride is the most hideous motion womankind ever evolved. A few years ago you did the golf- link? stride, which was too long for your anatomy and vchioh showed with paipful plainness how foolish you were to try to imitate the motions of men. You put down your feet as if you were trying to imitate the old mira cles whereby the saints left the im print of their footsteps in solid rock. And the standing position, the walk of to-day. is only lesw painful to de scribe than to see. A Painful Sight. Women follow the unpleasant out lines of the Botticelli figure—chest sunken, shoulders bent and back rounded: while the healthy upheld chest and "straight front" have given way to the awkward outline of sag ging and unconfined abdomen. You do not like it, do you? You are not going to be a slave to an ugly fashion that must won die. and that will hurt your health as well as your natural beauty of figure? We must all grow older, and what Is quaint at 20 will be ugly at 40.
