Harrison Fisher First
in Portraying Beauty
The artistry of a french peasant
maid who concealed her scantiness
of hair with some rihbon was the
odd inspiration that caused Harrison
Fisher to draw the first of his long
series of magazine covers idealizing
the beauty of young feminine Ameri¬
ca. He was known as the “father of
a thousand pretty girls," but he nev¬
er married.
Reared in Brooklyn, schooled at
the Mark Hopkins institute in San
Francisco, widely traveled in Eng¬
land and on the continent, Fisher
knew the girl of the New York draw¬
ing room and of the western plains.
He was born during the Garfield
Arthur period; he saw the fashion¬
able world in coaches behind teams
and in the side saddle: on bicycles,
and in linen dusters, goggles and
flowing motor veils and then in lim¬
ousines. He felt the wild pulsation
of the Spanish war, and lived through
the World war well into an exciting
period of readjustment. He knew
Victorian England, and the England
of Edward and George,
Fisher portrayed rattier than inter¬
preted. Thousands of drawings and
illustrations that flowed from the
point of his pen have been, for an
interesting generation, far closer to
the American home than the famed
treasures hanging in museums
abroad.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

CHAPTER X—Continued
— 19 —
“Sometimes I think he will," Bar¬
bara wrote to Bruce. “Wouldn’t that
be lovely? But sometimes I don’t
know. It’s a very distracting feeling,
like being in a lion’s cage and not
knowing whether the lion will chew
your head off or not. But I think he
will more than I think tie won’t. Only
I wish he would decide. I’d feel the
same way about the lion. . .
And then it was decided. Stephen
came home one evening looking tired
and pleased and a little uneasy as
well. He had presents for the children
and some very important news.
“I saw Aunt Josephine,” he said,
when the boisterous welcome had sub¬
sided and the presents had been ad¬
mired.
“Our Aunt Josephine?” The color
paled from Barbara’s face. Her eyes
were wide and startled.
“Is she a crotchety old lady?”
Stephen asked, pretending to be puz¬
zled.
Barbara nodded.
“Does she wear diamond ear drops
and black silk dresses and white net
collars with points that stick up un¬
der her ears?”
Barbara nodded again.
“Does she live in a house with urns
and elm trees on the lawn and car¬
pets with roses inside?”
Again Barbara nodded.
"Then I guess it was your Aunt
Josephine,” Stephep said with a smile.
“What did she say?” the children
chorused and then were very still.
“She said you’ve been badly brought
up.” Stephen looked at Barbara, at
Kit and Gay and Jamie. “She said you
had no idea of gratitude. She said 1
was either very brave or utterly a
fool.”
“But why, Uncle Stephen?” Bar¬
bara’s hands clasped each other
tightly.
“Because,” Stephen told them, “I
asked her if I might keep you.”
“You mean we’re to live with you?”
Gay asked, ready to bounce on the
sofa springs.
“Yes,” he answered, rumpling her
bright brown curls.
“All of us?” That was Kit, a flush
In his thin dark cheeks, his hazel eyes
very bright.
“All of you.”
“ ‘Chips,’ too?” Jamie asked, pre¬
paring to let out a whoop.
“What would we do without
•Chips’?”
The whoop was worthy of a feath¬
ered brave on the warpath. It broke
the breathless suspense. The children
fell upon Stephen with joyous shouts.
The springs of the old red sofa creaked
In a threatening way. The windows
rattled. The coals seemed to dance in
the grate.
“Aunt Josephine was right,” Stephen
said when he had emerged, somewhat
rumpled, from the lusty strangling em
, braces. “You’re a tribe of little sav¬
ages. You have no proper respect
for your elders.”
“Do you want us to be respectful?”
Barbara asked, watching the perform
ance with a happy shine in her eyes.
“I like little savages.”
Stephen had surrendered himself tc
the charms of the four Thornes.
CHAPTER XI
Aunt Edith did not button her lips
when Stephen told her he had decided
to keep the children. He was accepting
a grave responsibility, she said. Rear¬
ing children was not an obligation to
be so lightly assumed. It was neither
wise nor necessary. The children’s rel¬
atives were able and willing to care
for them. Had he considered the pos¬
sible complications?
"Complications?” Stephen asked. “I
want the children. They want to stay.
It all seems fairly simple.”
“Of course they want to stay. Has
it occurred to you that Barbara might
have known In advance that you could
give them every luxury and ad¬
vantage?”
Stephen halted midway between the
canopied bed and a chaise-longue up¬
holstered in mauve brocade.
“You mean,” he asked, ‘‘has it oc¬
curred to me that she might have
looked up my financial rating?”
“Exactly.”
Stephen laughed.
“She doesn’t know there are such
things,” he said.
“I’m not so sure.” The laugh did
not improve the state of Aunt Edith’s
m’nd.
"I am,” Stephen said curtly.
“It’s possible that she might have.”
He needn’t be so touchy, she thought.
She was thinking only of him. It
would be disturbing for her, of course,
to have the children here. But it
would he worse for Stephen. Why
hadn’t he married Emily? She would
have been willing to endure the little
professor. That would have been a
dignified arrangement, at least. Poor
Stephen! Why couldn’t the children
have stayed where they belonged?
“Not Babbie,” Stephen said. “She’s
an impulsive child. She came to me
because there was no one else. She
thought only of keeping the children
together.”
“She isn’t a child.” The expression
B Stef hen’s eyes alarmed Aunt Edith.
CLEVELAND COURIER
“I was married,” she saltf with great
dignity, “when I was Just past eight¬
een.”
“She’s a very dear little girL”
"Really, Stephen—“
“She sees people so clearly,” Stephen
said, thinking of Barbara, wanting to
defend her. “She knows It Is best
for the children to let them grow up
together. She’s right about It, too.
Babbie trusts me. I can’t let her
down. She’s so small and plucky and
helplsss.”
His voice was gentle. Aunt Edith
looked up.
“You’re in love with her, Stephen,”
she said. She had not meant to put
the thought into words. But Stephen
exasperated her beyond endurance, be¬
ing so foolish about the girl.
“That's absurd!” Stephen frowned,
his brows drawn down over Ms angry
eyes.
"It has happened before.” n was
true, she thought. Stephen had not
escaped. Forty, she had heard, was
a very dangerous age.
"Do you think that?” he asked,
looking at her from under darkly
scowling brows.
“I do, Indeed.” No use contradict¬
ing herself, Aunt Edith thought.
"There must he some reason why you
should want to keep these children,
a reason other than kindness and a
desire to make them happy.”
“You haven’t a high opinion of me,
have you, Aunt Edith?” Stephen asked
quietly. “Y’ou make me feel as though
I had taken advantage of the confi¬
dence of a child.”
“A child? Well, really, Stephen—”
“Do you think that, Aunt Edith?”
“I have known you for some time,
my dear,” Aunt Edith said. “I can’t
think that you would completely disor¬
ganize your life unless there was a
reason.”
There was a reason, of course. He
might have told Aunt Edith that he
had loved Barbara’s mother. But he
did not want to tell her. He was
tired of explanations. He said>*Good
night” and walked out of the room.
Aunt Edith sat in the puffy arm¬
chair, thinking, rippling the cards with
a sound like a lingering sigh. Then
she pushed back the card table and
walked across the room to her desk.
When she returned to the chair, she
spread out on the table a variety of
tourist catalogues and time-tables and
folders. With a small gold pencil she
traced a leisurely journey across the
continent. She made notations and
added rows - of figures. At intervals,
she unbuttoned her lips to sigh.
Stephen told Natalie the story the
next afternoon. She sat beside the
library fire when he returned from
the office. He suspected that Aunt
Edith had sent for Natalie and had
told her the distressing news. What
did Natalie think about it all? Was
he in for another unpleasant inter¬
view?
He found, to his great relief, that
he wasn’t. Natalie smiled at hf'i
lazily, the smoke from her cigarette
curling in rings above her sleek dark
head.
“Where are the children?” Stephen
asked.
“Bob took them to the zoo,” she an¬
swered. “They ought to be back
pretty soon.”
“May I have some tea?”
“You look tired, Stephen. Was Aunt
Edith very unpleasant?”
“Rather,” he said, returning her
lazy smile.
“There was an old woman who lived
in a shoe,” Natalie teased affection¬
ately. “Poor, poor Stephen!”
Stephen relaxed in a soft deep chair.
He needed to talk to someone. N>talie
was intelligent. She saw things clear¬
ly. he thought.
He felt soothed and rested. The
fire, the gathering twilight invited con¬
fidences.
“Aunt Edith thinks I’m in love with
Barbara,” Stephen said, breaking a
comfortable silence.
Natalie looked at him, an amused
little smile curving the corners of her
lips but she said nothing.
“She thinks,” Stephen continued,
“that I could have no other possible
reason for wanting to keep the chil¬
dren. It makes me feel as though I
have taken advantage of a child.”
“A child, Stephen? Barbara is
eighteen.” Natalie remembered that,
at eighteen, she hadn’t considered her¬
self a child.
“Of course in some ways she isn’t,”
Stephen admitted, his eyes troubled
and grave. “She’s never had time to
be really young. Aunt Edith shouldn’t
leap to conclusions, though. Babbie
thinks I’m a nice old man. I think
she’s a dear little girl. Anything else
is absurd.”
“Are you in love with her, Stephen?”
Natalie asked quietly.
He told her the story, then. He told
her about the Barbara he had loved a
very long time ago.
“So you see,” he said when he had
finished, “if you and Aunt Edith must
have one, there is a reason why I can’t
let the children go.”
“A very good reason,” Natalie said
gently. It was strange to think that
Stephen, always so quiet and reserved,
should have been capable of romance.
“It isn’t only that,” Stephen added,
a little embarrassed at having told the
story. “It’s the children themselves.
They’re nice youngsters. They’ll keep
me from getting too stodgy. I like
having a family, although it is dis¬
tracting at times.”
“Poor Stephen!” Natalie crossed
swiftly to his chair, rumpled his hair
in a lazy caress, lightly kissed his
cheek. “I’m for you and the chil¬
dren,” she said. “I have just discov¬
ered that you are rather a dear.”

Why the Sudden
Change to Liquid
Laxatives?
Doctors have always recognized the
value of the laxative whose dose can
be measured, and whose action can
be thus regulated to suit individual
need.
The public, too, is fast returning
to the use of liquid laxatives. People
have learned that a properly pre¬
pared liquid laxative brings a perfect
movement without any discomfort
at the time, or after.
The dose of suit a liquid the laxative can
be varied to needs of the
individual. The action can thus be
regulated. It forms no habit; you
need not take a “double dose” a day
or two later. Nor will a mild liquid
laxative irritate the kidneys.
The wrong cathartic may often do
more harm than good.
