BEAUTY 0|' LIVING ‘

Bo greedy are we for beauty that

we often live unbeautifully in our strain after beauty. We rush hither and yon, seeking beauty forgetting that the world is full of it and all we have to do is open our eyes and ears and hearts to it and absorb it.

There is beauty in the smiles of

dear ories,,in the music of gra

words, in loving thoughts, in Set. in the hearth fire,in a ho order, a table well set, s. meal well served, and the radio adds a wealth of beauty as we sitiat, our firesides.

Let us not be efficient in every-

thing except living, knowing how to do everthing \vell except enjoy our- selves. Let us take time to live the life cf poise, of balance, without strain and without rush. Enough is enough of labour, of philanthropy, of club life, of seeking art and music end beauty. We will find more of beauty if we take time to enjoy that which is ln our own hornes, if we take time to live polsefully.

SAVING MOTHERS

The' State of Victoria, Australia.,

has given a demonstration of how unnecessary it is for mothers to die when their babies are bom. It has long been known that mothers, in rural districts. died in childbirth, in much larger proportion than mothers in cities, which were amply provid- ed with skillful doctors, nurses and hospitals. Bun the victorian Bush Nursing Association, has sent train- ed nurses out into the "bush", or back country; and of 2,273 whit/e mothers they have not lost one.

The average rate oi’ mother deaths

in the state of Victoria. was 5.58 per 1000 births. In the United States it' is 6.47. The supervision of prospec- tive mothers before their babies are born, good hospitals, and well train- ed doctors and nurses might save the lives of thousands of new mothers over the world, and permit them to live to bring up their helpless babies.

children who fail in health,

character or efficiency, the mother- less childrenarc in shockingly large proportion. God knew what he was was doing when he gave children mothers. Civilization would do well to preserve them. ‘

WRITING PAPER

Well-bred and refined writing

paper is the mark of a lady. White is still the very best, with cream or gray or tan, with a bright lining in the envelope, going strong. A soft green~gray is also good, as it is neutral; but pinkjblue, yellow or other novelty and freak shades are not in taste.

Heavy ccrr;-spondence cards may

be used for short notes. Their color should follow the some rules as note-paper. Business stationery should not be used for personal wr- respondence. It looks too coldly business like and bespeaks your ec- onomy, that you are utilizing what you have rather than having what you need. Personalnote paper should have nothing printed on the letter head but your name and address. Initial note paper has a look of el- egance. _

FBDZEN FRUITB _

Thlsis thedayofall sorts of canned fruits. You can make them more delicious by freezing them in- to a sort of frappe. Pack a can of fruit in finely chopped ice and salt, one part of salt to three of ice. cover the can completely. A large pail is a convenient receptacle for the pack. Let this stand three or four hours, then remove the canned fruit, wipe of the ice and salt and carefully cut the top from the can. Wrap a cloth wrung out of hot wat- er around the outside of the can to loosen the fruit from the sides and tum ,into a serving dish. Gar- nish it wi-th whipped cream, sweet- oned and flavored with mint or vanilla.

"CLUB MOTHERS”

The Big Sisters idea is no nov-

elty ln social welfare work. But “club mothers" are something new under the sun. The idea /is worked in the girls club of Texas. Club women draw a name of a. girl to whom they will serve as sort of god- mothers., in club activites. Each "Club motheri" will encourage her charge to do good work in her club and in school and will give her such cheer and help as a natural mother were equally interested in club nc- tivities.

CANNED FRUIT

When you open a can of fruit

and serve it immediately, it has a flat taste. It needs to be aerated oefore being eaten. If you know you are to serve fruit for the next meal, open it an hour or two ahead of the time you will want to eat it and let it stand and absorb oxygen. It. will have a richer and more delicious taste.

(Continued from Page Seven.) Herfaith didn't falter. She was ss

confident of his coming as she was that the sun would rise on the follow- ing morning. It astounded her to rs- csll that she had been so close to him all that pest winter and had had the strength to hold him oi'!. In her pres- ent lonellness, she wondered a, little why she had deliberately wasted so much ,precious time. The impulse of her coquetry seemed so silly and futile-now. Deep within her, some- thing warned her that the hour of Youth and Love is fleeting and _prec- ious. .

On the evening of the last day at

sea, when she was packing in her stateroom, she came upon a copy cf the ship's newspaper. It contained the passenger-list. Traveling was such an old story to her that she never bothered about her fellow voyagers. But, on this occasion, the list was spread before her eyes, and she glanc- ed carelessly at it.

To her surprise, no Van Doi-ns

were listed Then she remembered that Louis must have secured their reservations at the last moment, And yet the little paper had been printed in the ship's printing-shop after the Marathon had sailed. '

Another surprise! Her eyes caught

the name "Senor Luis Almayra,” and, below it: "Senorita Ahnayra."

Almayra, she reeallpd, was the

name on the Spanish passport in Louis’s bag. How curious, she thought, and was pondering it when Louis himself made his appearance.

He was looking haggard, but jeunty.

There was a. flush on his lean cheek and a feverish -sparkle in his eyes that told her he had left the game a heavy winner. She asked him how his luck hadsbeen.

“Not so bad!" he acknowledged.

gth satisfaction. “Not so bad, my e.. Our trip's paid for, anyway."

"Oh, Dad,” she reproached himii

"You talk as if you had to play to buy our passsse. It sounds horrid. when you have so much money of your own]

"Never enough, little Shirley!

Never enough!" He seated himself and took out a cigarette. _

“Dad, why have you Senor

Almayra's passport? she asked him suddenly. l

The match ‘he was holding to the

tip of his cigarette fiickered and went out. He lit a. second with a steady hand.

“Why the deuce do you ask that?" "I saw it in your bag the day I was

looking for a rug." ‘

“Oh, that!" he shrugged. “It be-

longs to a Spanish chap who doesn't speak very good English. I’ve prom-- ised to help him through 'the Cus- toms tomorrow.”

Shirley looked ai. him steadily. She

wasn't .Vet suspicious, but it seemed such a flimsy explanation.

“But you didn’t have to have it for

the entire voyage, just to be of as- sistance to him tomorrow." _

Louis smiled blandly. He was quite

unperturbed.

“I-Ie' brought it to me the first dal’

out, to show me something or other. And went away and left it. I com- pletely forgot to take it up to him . . . . Have you met him and his- er-daughter?" he queried casually. hisreyes on the newspaper in her lap.

She shook her head. “His photograph looks very much

like you."

"Yes, doesnt it?" agreed Louis.

blowing a smoke ring. “We could almost be taken for brothers. The‘ poor chap's'been beistly sick," he added suavely. “Scarcely left his cabin." He rose, "Well, I’l1 toddle off to bed and snatch a wink of sleep before meeting gay Paree. This night stuft’s beginning tq take it out of me.I Getting to be an old man, Shirley!"

He shut the door upon his own

good night, accompanied by a gay smile. Shirley went to bed and dream- ed of Rodney When she awoke, the coast of France was in sight. She thrilled at the thought that she was one day nearer Rodney. The next ship to dock-or the next-would bring him. I-Ie must be racing to heal' the rest of the 'interrupted sentence that would sive her to him.

In the bustle and confusion of land-

ing and passing the Customs, she for- got all about the Spanish passengers. It wasnt until they were in the train, bound for Paris. that she exclaimed:

"Oh, Dad, you forgot the poor

Spaniard.”

“He got through all right." Louis

assured her airilv. "No trouble at all."

He was in .high spirits. A certain

tenseness about his mouth and a ner- vous twitching of his cheek, which Shirley had noted as the Marathon docked. had vanished. »“I didn’t see him at all,” she said gravely. 'Tm sure I'd have recog- nized hini because of his resemblance to vou."

“Such a crowd!" murmured Louis.

"Couldn't see anybody."

Out of the maelstrom and din Louis

van Dorn and Shirley emerged. They hurried to a. taxi already piled with their hand iussese and' siilrded by an impatient porter. They were oi! through the EIU streets. ' _

“Why, Dad, this lsn’t the way to

"Were not going to the Carlton.

She was dismayed.

“Why not? Where are we going?" "To a. nice little French hotel. It

has been highly recommended to me by a friend.”

Shirley made a BT1111906- “Oh, Dad, remember _our exper-

iences with ‘nice little French h0tels’.

“This one is different," he assured

lier.

"But, Dad, can't we go around by

“A cable for youl" he ejaculated.

startled. “From whom. lilly?"

She hesitated briefly. Then . . . .

oh, well, he'd have to know, sooner

or later!

“From Rodney Sheldon." “The deuce you say!" Louis’s voice

was sharp and ed8Y~ "Hi-‘W C0915 he guess where you are?"

“I wrote him a letter from the

Marathon the night we sailed."

Louis scowled. Sf»‘rley stared at him in astonish-

ment.

“Why do you look like that, Dad? Why shouldnt I have written to him? He and I-”

Louis became suddenly violent. “If I ever again hear of your hav-

ing anything to do with that youns puppy! . . . . Shirley, I forbid you to think of him; ever to mention his name to me again."

Her proud little chin went up, but

she said quietly: .

“Do you think you're being fair,

Dad?"

“Fair or not.” he declared allsfily.

“I won't hear to itl You under- stand? ,You put him right out of your mind from this minute on."

She laughed softly. "Dad,' its wo late! I was just set-

ting engaged to Rodney when you took me away .from the Prom that night. He's probably on his way to Europe now _to ask you for me.”

Louls‘s good-looking face became

queerly mottled. An ugly line that Shirley had never seen before sprang out around his mouth. He looked vic- ious und capable of actual brutality. She was amazed. She had rarely seen him'rea'ily angry.

He got control of himself, however,

before hespoke. And all he said was:

"My word still stands, Shirley. You

shan’t marry young Sheldon. I have your husband picked for you. You can guess who he is."

She made a gesture of distaste. “If it’s Mr. Bertrand you're re-

ferring to. well, it's no go, Dad.” 1

“Allow me to be the judge of that,"

he told her suavely.

"But I love Rodney.” “Level” Louis shrugged lightly. "Ol

course, my child. By all means, love young Sheldon, or any other good- looking chap you may fancy. But marry a man who can support you."

"You talk as if Rodney were a

pauper," she cried indignsntly. "Hes rich, too. His father left him money. and besides, theres the Sheldon es- tate. He's Miss Liz's only heir.”

Louis chuckled. “Forgive me, if I’m skeptical. But.

believe me, when that worthy lady relinquishes her.hold upon mortal things, your grandchildren are likely to be cutting their second teeth."

Shirley made no reply; her eyes

were misted with resentful tears. Louis said softly:

"Do you know how many millions

Oscar Bertrand has? Or shall I tell you?" '

“I’m not in the least interested.

she assured him haughtily.

Louis laughed. but he drew her to-

ward him and kissed her cheek.

"My little girl is not going to be

angry with her old Dad, just because he wants her to have the best the world can offer, is she?" he asked coaxingly.

She relented, but it was her turn

to wheedle.

"Anyway, let mo go to the Carlton

to sec if I have a cable. And-and I can leave our new address. just for politeness, in casw"

Until that moment. _she had not

taken his aversion to Rodney ser- iously. Now she saw, to her dismay, that she was mistaken.

Louis's eyes flashed fire. He cried

vehemently:

"I expressly forbid you to do any-

thing of the sort!" _

She was frightened. Just why, she

~couldn’t have told. Louis, whimsical. easy-going Louis, had never before forbidden her to do anything. Cer- tsinl that to f oi a

voice so strained that it might almost be taken for the panicky squeak of terror. ` _She dropped the subject, and Louis was very adable during the luncheon they had in a little restaurant. The hotel, to which they returned after- ward to unpack, was all that Shirley had anticipated, though it did have s

certain picturesqueness. » It wsm‘t until Louis went out st Ave o'clock for his before-dinner sp- erstif that Shirley sought the tile- nhtue. A

Looking with carefully concealed

anxiety at her boy. one October daY» Miss Liz said:

"Its the university you're mlssins.

isn't it, Rod?_ The first fall of not going back-that’s the hardest."

"Yes, Aunt Liz. It’s pretty tough.

when you stop to think of all the fel- lows getting back and the games starting and-"

He broke off, staring into space. He

was thinking of the previous autumn. when he had met Shirley. For the first time, he mentioned her name:

“It was s. funny thing that, when I

met Shirley last year, I didn't recog- nize her as the person I'd seen on horseback in the woods. 1’m afraid I said some uncomplimentary things about that 'cousin' of hers."

His smile, his effort to be natural,

make her believe that evefythills W” all right and that he wasn't making too intolerable a sacrifice, wrung Miss Liz’s heart.

"Perhaps you’d like to take a little

trip," she suggested. “Just by way of a .chunks why not go back to me uni-

'versity for a visit?"

He turned away, so that she

shouldn't see his face.

"I don't believe I'd care about that.

Aunt, Ldz," he answered evenly. "But I might go away for s. bit. New York, or some place." s

"Thats fine." she agreed., with satisfaction. ‘ ' He went away the following week.

She missed him, but she comforted herself with the thought that he would be coming back to her soon. It wasn't as if he was gone from her forever-as if he had gone to find Shirley.

But he stayed away so long that

she became anxious. Had she. in snatching the girl of his heart away from him, sent him into some quag- mire of folly?

While she walled anxiously for word

from him, she was as near to hating Shirley as it was possible, for a woman of_her kindly, generous heart.

She had almost hated Bianca Van

Dom for taking the life of her best friend and stealing the only man she- had ever loved. Not from her-she had never cherished a personal-but from Mary Lou, whom she had also loved. She would have hated Bianca. if she hadn‘t pltled the poor. pas- sionate creature. And now, Bisncsfs daughter!

It was as though Bianca's hand.

reaching from her grave. had struck her a new, even more terrible blow. Through her daughter. Bianca had robbed Miss Liz of her boy-all that was left to her. ' '

But he would soon be coming back.

She waited, hiding her impatience.

And then came the letter that rock-

ed her world!
