of rose water and add it to the mixture. This will keep your skin free from roughness all during the winter weather, and in summer it will prove a foe to sunburn. Now wash your neck and shoul ders. Of course, you say? Yes, but I mean wash in a way that you have probably not thought neces sary. First, prepare for the cleansing process by taking a few simple arm and shoulder and throat exer cises so as to get the blood In cir culation and the skin glowing. Then rub the neck, arms, shoul ders and back with the cold cream and remove every bit of it with one of the soft cloths. Gray and grimy the cloth will be. That means that the pores have yielded some of the dust they have been attempting to secrete. Now wash thoroughly with a fine white lather of your soap (unperfumed soap unless you can afford the finest and most expen sive of the perfumed kinds), and use your brush of rubber or soft, silky bristles to scrub away any lingering soil. Next make a paste of the cool line at your throat, will not this dainty strap be a blessing? My long string of pearls gives the “V” line that is so kind to the plump face and the short neck. A bit of ribbon and a pretty little locket will produce the same long line from neck to throat. In the same way the long "V" at the back of my dress gives a chance to show the long line from the nape of the neck to the back. The fluffy feather finish across my shoulders Is very softening and becoming. Out of such a filmy mass a long white throat and curved shoulders rise most effectively. If feathers are beyond your pocketbook, tulle will again prove the friend in need. \ little study of line, & little patience in doing away with hol lows or surplus fat and care to whiten the skin are the first steps toward acquiring the beauty of perfect arms and shoulders.

There's time enough to arrange nil that.” gARY answered Gordon Craig’s let- ^'1 ter. writing a short and formal reply, thanking him for his sym pathy and saying that she hoped his , little daughter would be a great com- . fort to him. Rhe did not suggest that , she might ever see him again. Indeed, she never allowed herself to think of this possibility. The man was dead to her. Nor did her sentiments change when, six months later, she received a San Antonio newspaper, containing a marked notice that Gordon Craig would soon move to New York to open there a branch office Iti connection with his business In Texas. She was interested, to be sure, but still she told herself again that his coming East meant noth ing to her. She wondered for a minute where his baby -poor motherless mite— was. As Craig did not tell her that his own mother was caring for his little daughter, Mary’s heart ached at the thought of the child’s loss of the mother- i love that had been her own portion and which her own child received in gener ous measure. Her little boy continued delicate, and Mary was always anxious about him. Once she asked her physician why the boy was not strong and well. *T give him the best care of which I am capable,” she said, “and Just the food that you say he should have, yet he does not gain flesh and color. What is the trouble with him?” The doctor looked grave. “To be frank, Mrs. Fletcher, ”he answered, “you were overworked for months before the child came, and, of course, your ner vous condition told upon him. But we will hope to overcome this congenital weakness and make a strong man of him yet.” Even as he spoke the physician did j not feel confident of the hope he held | out to the anxious mother.

H AVE you beautiful white shoulders? Is your neck white and swan-like? Do you dare turn your back to people with the pleasant certainty that they must praise, not criticise? Of course you want the slender, graceful, youthful figure that is so fashionable to-day—but if you have dieted and exercised and taken medicated baths to acquire it have you produced a youthful contour and at the same time brought on a scrawny neck, protruding shoulder blades and a back in which every rib seems fighting for a place in the world? I have a message of cheer for you if you have. Smooth, white, plump shoulders inrc« flays later Mary received a let ter from her mother-in-law.

Rhe had kept all this from Man as Bert had asked her to do, but the time had now come when the wife must know It. The proposal Bert’s mother now had to make was that Mary and the baby come and stay with her during Bert’s absence. “The child ain’t well,’* she wrote, “and perhaps the obange would do it good. You’d better be here with me. getting your food and the child’s than out in that lonely village starving ” Mary's face flushed as she read. How could she bring herself to be an object of her mother-in-law’s charity? Then she reminded herself that she was not going to town for her own sake, hut for th« sake of the child, and that it was also Bert’s child, and his mother’s grand son.

Two Principles. There are two great principles at stake in the beauty search. The first is, cure all the defects you possibly can. The second is, cover over in some artistic way all the defects you can not conceal. For instance, if you can bleach the skin of your throat white, clear milk white, and it still insists on being a bit too thin for actual beauty, cultivate the habit of ar ranging some soft folds of tulle at - ou Know No machine has yet been invented In France which can supersede man ual labor in the manufacture of champagne bottles.

From the next cab swept a pale, slender woman with gleaming dark eyes—a famous French actress. “Dear, this IS a wonderful place, isn’t It? You do see things here.
