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. _

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.

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.

"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

added suavely. “Scarcely left his

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

“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. ' _
Shirley, who knew her P8218 bt!-WY
than her New York, exclaimed:
“Why, Dad, this lsn’t the way to
the Carlton. The driver must have
made a mistake."
"Were not going to the Carlton.
after all, my 1ove,” answered Louis
suavely.
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-

voice so strained that it might almost
be taken for the panicky squeak of

` _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-

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

'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.

Through her daughter. Bianca had

But he would soon be coming back.
She waited, hiding her impatience.
And then came the letter that rock-
ed her world!

What she didnt kiiow was the act-
ual fate of that cable! She had given
it to the concierge st, the little hotel,
asking that it be sent off at once, and
hs. after puzzling for a time over the
address, had appealed to Louis, who
was just saunterlug through the hall.
“Wil1 M’sieur be so ver' kind to|
hlilp me? Madeimiselle do not say in
what contree is this Kentuckee. Me, I
find it difficult to read the handwrite
of Mademoiselle."
Louis took the; proffered sheet of

his pocket. _
“'I‘hat's all right, Phillipe. Never
mind about it. I'L\ send it myself for
Mademoiselle.” »
So the friendly little cable, on which
Shirley counted so desperately, found
its ultimate destination in Louis‘s
wsstebasket, torn into minute frag-
ments and those carefully charred at
the end of a cigarette.
