Her brows were drawn into a scowl, which ugly, though it was, could not conceal the beauty of her piquant face, nor the charming way in which her sleek curling hair dipped elfishly into a widow's peak in the center of her forehead, and lifted again in little rebellious ringlets above her ears. "This old town, ugh!" she grumbled in utter disgust. "It's as pokey as an old fat married man." "Oh, not so-o-o-bad," drawled a lazy voice that fairly oozed with comfortable content. At the first sound of it Dulcie wheeled to face the speaker. "When did you come in?" she cried as nearly angry as she could be with Keith Somerset. "Why begin spoiling things with asking questions?" parried Keith teasingly, entirely at his case. Lowering his voice to a chanting dulcet tone and looking straight at her with half closed eyes, in the manner of one conning a lesson over to himself, he said: "What a girl you are! Standing there bathed in that sunlight you are gorgeously golden. . . . Your hair has the sheen of raven wings; it's like polished jet. . . . You are a jewel, girl! . . . I want to kiss you, pearl-o-my-heart." Tingling though she was at his words, she yet stamped her little foot imperiously. "Keith Somerset you have no right to come here like this. . . . This is Dave's house, and I am Dave's wife. . . ." Keith, who had stolen in, by bribing a pert little maid-of-all-work, but a moment before, and disposed himself comfortably in the easiest chair available, now uncoiled his long limbs, got up, and deliberately walked over to Dulcie, with a sudden quick motion he reached out, caught her hands, and held them. "Listen, fair lady, you belong to me. . . . Dave Pruitt's wife. . . . Yes. . . ." His voice had taken on a warmth that quite overlaid its usual flippancy. . . "But God knows Clean, Wholesome and Refreshing Foreign Advertising Representatives: W. B. Ziff Co., 608 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, IL. VINS BY ANNE STOKES men make mistakes in choosing wives. . . . Old Pruitt made one when he chose you. . . . You are mine." He drew her to him. . . . "Mine," and he tightened his clasp. . . . "Mine," and he stooped and kissed her full upon the lips. Wilful Dulcie Mayfern had watched Dulcie grow from babyhood to womanhood, from one state of loveliness into another. It had worshipped her as Dulcie Horton when she had been merely lovely, but as Mrs. David Pruitt; it idolized her, for now she had added riches to charm and beauty and a name that was well known and honored. Hedged in by such an atmosphere of adulation it was no wonder that Dulcie was a good deal spoiled, wilful and discontented. In the five years since her marriage she had earned the title given her in loving tolerance by her associates. . . . "Wilful Dulcie." There had been other escapades, but heretofore nothing with so serious a cast as her growing friendship with Keith. Already the gossips had been treated to ear- (Continued on Page 6) --- SMALL HATS THE VOGUE A hat on the head is worth two in the store. That is our belief, but every woman realizes the fact that it isn't the hat, it's how the hat looks on the head. However, when you get one of those tricky "over the ear and off the face" styles that are so very smart this season, you are almost sure your bonnet is becoming. For the woman who has broad features this diagonal brim-line is invaluable. There is the helmet or cap effect or those with thin faces, that makes the face look stouter. Small hats which frame the face becomiarly are still much worn. This is good news, as it is generally becoming to most women, especially when some becoming shade is selected suitable to the individual type. One's hat must match the ensemble trend, that is, a black seal coat with red or blue fox collar might be worn with a smart, small hat exactly matching the collar. Stockings the same shade, gloves of same color and black patent leather shoes would make a most harmonizing costume. Very wearable is the small hat and its continued success during the winter is most likely, as it looks innately smarter rising from the richness of huge fur collar than does larger one.

The soft transparent velvets of the new season have inspired many styles among the new millinery styles. Turbans of twisted velvet are just the thing. The only regularity of the newest Paris styles is irregularity. Hats have caught the infection of irregularity from the hemlines of gowns and it seems as if the winter hats will be nothing if not irregular. Long on one side and short on the other. Sometimes the sides of the hat are pulled in so colse to the face that the effect is that of a poke bonnet. Occasionally the poke bonnet loses its brim and becomes a plush bonnet or bequin (which is French for baby's bonnet). In that case it may tie under the chin. The leading hat material is long haired silk plush (Hatters' plush). Next comes velvet; felt and Soleils are strongly in the lead. The coming vogue is fur toques and berets. Where the beret is seen, its draping is carried to extremes. It is either very soft and handled in the manner of a tam-o-shanter with a tight bandean around the forehead or its lines fit the head almost with the closeness of a skull cap, fullness at one side is allowed in order to give the necessary droop. Not satisfied being the mascot of the coming presidential election, the elephant has invaded the millinery market and has become the mascot for good luok in millinery this season. The hats of today are clever and you can no longer buy a frame and cover it—it requires real art which is seen only in fine millinery. Your New Baby Not a Toy Nor a King, Says Mrs. Ayer One day old is not too soon to begin to teach the baby how often to eat. Most children become spoiled in the matter of food and eating and they start when they are just born. A So, the first thing a mother must learn is when to nurse, or when to feed the baby, changing the periods as the child gets older. Mrs. Elise Ayer The up-to-date mother goes to see her family doctor before the baby becomes sick and finds out from him how to mix the cow's milk with lime water and sugar of milk. Only the lucky breast-fed baby is safe from most sickness which comes from not giving the right food from the bottle. After the doctor tells you what to do, do not listen to all the advice other mothers and friends give you for your child. Remember that what will do for one baby will not do at all for another. There is another evil that should be guarded against, because crooked backs and legs are often caused by it: Do not keep nursing the child long after the time when he can begin to take the other foods needed by his body. We won't continue to have the tall, straight men and women of the past generation if the city mothers do not learn to make up 1. the natural country life they led, by giving more care to their children's food and ways of living. Plenty of milk, lots of green vegetables, with small amounts of meats and sweets, is the rule to follow as soon as the baby takes solid food. Even on the first day the new baby begins to want things and asks for them, and the mother must begin at once to decide what he should have. The only talk a baby has is to cry in different ways, and he can tell the knowing mother and father pretty nearly what he wants. I once saw a very amusing family quarrel start about a baby's crying, and it was the men of the family who had most to say. 彩女子 The grandfather and the uncle were both doctors, but one was old-fashioned and the other knew the latest and best things for babies. The grandfather did not want the mother to let the baby cry at all, and wanted him lifted up and held or petted every time he made a sound. But the mother listened to the younger man and learned to know what the child was trying to say by each kind of cry. For the loud, sudden, shrill cry she would look for the pin which pricked, or get the hot water bottle to help stop the pain, or lift the child to another position to get rid of gas. When the baby filled its lungs and let out a lusty yell she could tell he was just getting his daily exercise and didn't need any interference. The cry of the naughty youngster who has begun to feel himself the king of the family and just wants folks to step around should be left unnoticed. Frank Talk About Social Diseases By Dr. Geo. W. Little GONORRHEA FIFTY per cent of the population, mostly male, is afflicted with this social disease some time or other. This is the result of our foolish fear of frankly discuss- ing matters pertaining to sex. PETER H. The most vital element in the life of an individual is his sex relations. Because we do not discuss them we pay a high price for our false modesty. Dr. Geo. W. Little Many conditions that go by the name of strain and "running range" are gonorrhea.

St. Mark 8:35 or later in all cases and causes a large number of marital difficulties. After the disease is contracted a physician can always take care of you. The thing to do is not to contract the disease. But if you do, see a physician at once. Gonorrhea is contracted by sexual promiscuity. Beware of "loose" and "easy" women and all prostitutes. These women are sources of infection. Many of them are ignorant of the danger of infection and usually give it no consideration. The prostitute does make some attempt at prevention, but it is far from efficient. Besides, gonorrhea does not annoy the woman as it does the man. She may have the disease in an active form and yet not be suffering much. It is often extremely difficult to OUR WEEK "FOR WHOSOEVER WILL SAVE LIFE FOR MY A MONG hundreds of markers, on a well-known battlefield, is a splendid memorial to the bravery, to the courage and to the limited service of the citizen of a nearby town upon whose shoulders rested too many years for active military service. Against the will of his family and the requests of his friends, he shouldered an old musket, rushed into service, defied protests from officers and privates, and fought through the hottest of a three days' battle. This aged man played well his part without invitation and force of orders; he was wounded, he was taken back to the little town, he regained health, and he lived to read the terms on which this civil strife ended. Like this man, there were other Furniture Color Suggestions By HELEN JANNATH The advantage of this too is that you can re-color your furniture once a year. That means your house can look new every year, and different. Pianos are even being done in red and green and mauve with gold trimming. Give your old oak or walnut upright a coat of green enamel. With the flat edges and carving glided. Paint your piano stool gold with green legs, or vice versa. Or make the whole thing black with silver trimming. A black and silver bed is gorgeous, especially if you use colored bed-spreads. And even sheets and pillow cases are now to be had in pastel shades. I saw them at Gimpel's in New York for five dollars a set. They came in yellow, mauve, blue, green and rose. But you can dye your white ones for ten cents. Furniture can be done in one solid color or better in two tones of one color. That is, the back of your straight chair can be dark blue and the rest lighter. They also use the most brilliant and contrasting shades. I saw a gorgeous living room set at Marshall Field's in orange and green. If you use a solid color you can use brilliantly splashed upholstering. I saw a grey and silver dining room set upholstered in orange and blue satin. Do Your Own Upholstering If you are moderately clever you can remove or recover your old upholstering. Where it is tacked these can be pried up. Then you can re-tack the new stuff in the same holes. Or you can use carpenters' glue to paste the material at the edges. Gold or colored tape can cover up the glued edges. Or you can make round or square pillows for the bottom of the chairs. And a slip-on of the same material for the back, especially with straight chairs. Dr. A. P.

This is why the disease is so widespread. Prophylactics such as were used in the army and navy are good preventives. These can be bought at any drug store.

Either of these preventives require little time and are of small expense. They will save lots of worry and money.

True to the picture which Jesus makes of the matter, there are those who will to save themselves in the strife of living, while the others make an eternal sacrifice. This beautiful paradox, which Jesus makes clear by his own approach to life, has been true of every person who has first had a worth-while vision of things that are to be done What Jesus says here is not an experiment, not a theory whose relation to life must yet be established; all that this text means has been tested and proved through years of human suffering and sacrifice.

Backache is a frequent symptom and the condition usually gets worse around the "periods." If a woman's tubes are infected she will, nine times out of ten, have to be operated upon. Douching and cleanliness are great factors in prevention. There are many phases of the disease. Rheumatism is peculiar to the disease, and other forms of dull pains about the back and arms and legs. The main things to know are that the disease exists widely; that it is easily contracted and is very difficult to get rid of, and to protect yourself against infection by the methods I have mentioned. MON — By Rev. C. F. JENKINS BUT WHOSOEVER SHALL LOSE HIS SHALL SAVE IT." St. Mark 8:35 It is a most wonderful thing to note how divine men really are when their souls are set in motion by some mysterious power. The life of Jesus as a man and as a Savior, and others who by their deeds have been crushed by hatred and scorn, offer a fine challenge to those who wish to live a serving life. There is more in this world to be done than fret away time and strength. Life is at its best when there is some influence to set it in motion, whether that influence be a kind word or a shot from the enemy's gun. It does not matter after we are gone what a struggle we had to make it; the only question will be how well we fought. If in our own lives there is little to inspire us, we must look to other sources for inspiration.

By John's Wife I'm the happiest little woman In all this little town; And my merry laugh and singing Takes the place of sigh and frown.

And I said, that's John exactly, And I'll send and get the same. So sent for GOLDEN TREATMENT, (As well as he could) And I put it in John's supper And I put it in his tea. And it didn't taste a little bit, Had no odor, so you see— It was smoothest kind of sailing For little Doctor Me. And I watched and prayed and waited, (And cried some, too, I guess) And I didn't have the greatest faith, I'm ashamed now to confess.

George just grins; Jimmy Dougherty says he is and will; I have my doubts. Perhaps you have heard of Jim Dougherty. No story of George Godfrey can be written without mentioning the big Irishman who is his guiding star; perhaps you have heard of him as "Baron Jim, of Leiperville"; to me he is a prince of the Royal Order of Square Shooters. Dougherty has made possible whatever success has come to Godfrey; his will be the praise for whatever happens in the future. The Gorger has cost Jim more money than he has made out of him, but he still hangs on, confident that his idol will win through. Old Jack Johnson picked George up in Chicago years ago, taught him something of sparring and used him in a boxing act in vaudeville. Impressed with the Mobile boy's potential value, he sent him out to act as a sparring partner for Jack Dempsey, then preparing for the debacle at Shelby. What George did to Dempsey is more or less a secret, but Jack Kearns thought he saw in him a future champion. So he bought his contract from Johnson. Now fighters are temperamental and Dempsey would not hear to "Doc" having another heavyweight in tow, so Dougherty became the straw man for Kearns. Of a truth, George's earlier efforts were terrible; he had an inhibition—of which more anon—and Kearns was ready to assign him to Dougherty very soon afterwards. Jimmy knew something. George blundered along, looking good once in a while, looking bad most of the time. There is the story of his first fight in New York. Jack Renault was his opponent and the manager of the French Canadian was Leo Flynn. Now, Jimmy Dougherty was busy THE WORLD'S FINEST WRESTLER Jack Johnson, former world's heavy weight champion, who "discovered" George Godfrey. By W. ROLLO WILSON CHILE 1940 Big George with His Dukes Up elsewhere and he sent George to Gotham in charge of old Bobby Dobbs, himself a ring hero of the long ago. Somewhere, somehow, the pair met a "conjure man" and he sold George some salve with which to anoint his body. This, he said, would make him impervious to pain. Flynn came down to Godfrey's dressing room, saw his grease-smeared torso and immediately yelled—for his own purposes, he being a shrewd son of the Ould Sod—that George intended to ruin the eyesight of Renault. "Mon," he screamed, "if my boy gets that stuff on his glove and gets it in his eyes, he is a gonner..." And then he proceeded to put on the "works." He told this gullible Negro from the south that if he hurt this white boy or if he punched him too hard, gunmen would kill him right in the Writer Describ House on a Writer Describes Furnishing House on a $500 Budget MISS WELLS TELLS HOW TO PLAN FURNISHING By Palestine Wells I'M SURE all of you about-to-be brides and many of you already-brides will be interested in the $500 furniture budget worked out by a bride-to-be. She is attempting to carry out the Colonial or Early American note in furnishing and she has chosen maple and mahogany for the most of her furniture. By the way, I should mention that maple is often hard to get, but because it has such lovely color, such old-fashioned charm and is so easy to keep looking nice, it will pay to try hard to get it. You will find that the pieces listed here will by no means completely furnish a house, they are only the foundation, so to speak. They are not the finest quality, but you will find that similar pieces are good and durable as well as nice looking. ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION ring! And the inherent inferiority complex came to the surface in George and he lost on a technical kayo in the eleventh round. That was in 1922. Since then Godfrey has beaten Renault, has licked nearly everyone he has fought, has had about 50 knockouts. He has gotten to the place where, if he does not rock his man in the cradle of the sleep, he loses the decision. And well he might! He is six feet four inches and weighs 240 pounds. He looks like a champion and he is the uncrowned king.

SCHUYLER limit with him, if he is so good? Why are his fights with colored boxers always a pain in the neck? Let Jimmy tell you while I stand mute. "George is just a good-natured, big kid. He does not have an evil bone in his body. He does not hate anyone and he thinks everyone is his friend. "He is big enough and strong enough to kill any man in the world if he put all of his power into a blow. But he will never do that, because you cannot make him mad enough to hit anyone real hard. They can't hurt George and he just grins and laughs as he stops their blows. If I could make him mad when he goes into the ring, Tex Rickard and all of his gang could not keep him from the title. "Whenever he fights a colored man, he gets to George and says: 'Say, big boy, you know I can't hurt you, so go easy on me, will yuh? Don't kill me, because I gotta fight for a living.'" "Well, sir, that gets George and he plays along with them and all the time they are trying to ruin him. It makes a bad fight and keeps on making him a bad fellow with the crowds. "If I could have my way about it, I'd never let George fight a colored man... "That's the truth of the matter. You have heard—and you, yourself, have said—that George is afraid of white fighters, that anyone who can hit him hard enough to hurt him has him licked at the start. None of that stuff is true. "There's nothing yellow about George Godfrey. He just doesn't have a fighter's heart. He is too tender in feelings to be a boxer. But if anyone thinks he is not the world's champion, let him step in the ring with him!"

WITH the coming of winter and the consequent lengthening of the evening and shortening of the days, comes also the season when young people ought to do most of their reading. There are many good books that will delight them, but there are also many new ones full of adventure, thrills and all the rest of the things that growing and lively youngsters demand in books. For instance, what an interesting history Mr. Colvin has written of South Africa. Related in simple language, it is a tale to stir the heart and the imagination. No wonder there is a saying that truth is stranger than fiction. In many ways the history of South Africa seems to be similar to that of the United States. There was the same era of discovery, followed by settlement, spread of new settlers and exploitation of natural resources and natives. Of course such terms of discovery are used from the point of view of the whites, since the country was already inhabited by warlike black men. Like the Indians in North America, the black men of South Africa fought vallantly for their native land and were only completely subdued about a quarter century ago. While this book is written uncritically for young readers, it marshals most of the facts of South African history in a manner that will interest and not puzzle those who peruse its pages. The book is profusely illustrated. The other three books will appeal to healthy boys who love activity and adventure in foreign lands. They will read with great pleasure and absorbing interest the life of Martin Johnson. For years, accompanied by his faithful wife, he has traveled up and down the world to out-of-the-way places in search of thrills and knowledge. Starting out years ago with Jack London in the cruise of the Snark, he has since visited remote islands in the South Seas and become familiar with life in the depths of the African jungle. He has certainly been far and seen much. His has been the sort of life that so many boys, both young and grown up, have wanted to live. The book is simply written and illustrated with many photographs.

BROOKS December 8, 1928 What Has Gone Before Martha Hastings, beautiful daughter of a widowed mother, meets S. Gerdon Johnson, handsome and crafty insur- ance man, who comes to Hainesville to open an office fer his company. He rents a room at her house and wins the confidence of Martha and her mother. He attempts first to take advantage of her by foul means, but ‘failing in this he makes love to her and she becomes infatuated with him. He promises tw marry her and make her a great lady. Despite the pleadings of Raiph Arm- strong, new manager of the Hainesville office, "who is really in love with her, but hasn't told her 80, she goes to Chi- cago to meet Johnson. Armstrong fol- lows on the next train. Johnson: takes Martha to a suspicious looking house. He has an claborate feast prepared and served to him and Martha im her room. He urges Martha to drink some strange liquor and she becomes intoxicated. While lying dazed across her bed, John- sen enters quickly. However, he is folled in his purpose by the arrival of detectives whom Raiph had directed to the house. doknson returns swiftly to his room, and when the detectives enter he is apparently fast asleep. THe is made to go down to Martha’s room, but the giri indignantly defends him ‘and upbraids Ralph. With no case, the de- tectives leave after Raiph had struck Johnson in rage. Tired of pretending any longer. Johnson finally exposes his hand and tells Martha that she will have to surrender her honor that night. A struggle ensues and Johnson is about te subdue the girl and violate her. ‘(Rite am ean writh tae ator) ITH one last superhuman ef- fort Martha sunk her strong, white teeth into the hand that had closed over her mouth, With a curse Johnson withdrew it and when he did so Martha gave one last despairing scream that echoed all over the house and was even heard on the street. Across from the house in the sha- dow of a tree stood Ralph Arm- strong and the detective whe had entered the house with him a few minutes before. Ralph had persuaded the detec- tive to wait just a little longer, as he felt sure that Johnson would soon throw discretion to the winds and attempt what he knew the man had been figuring on.” Thus, it was with gratified expee- tation that he heard the faint scream. “That's her,” he yelled to the big, burly representative of the law. “I would know her voice anywhere.” “All right, let's go,” the officer said. Together the two dashed across the street, up the stairs and with- out wailing to ring the bell, burst open the door. Up the stairs they thundered and in a moment they had crashed open the door of Marthas room, On the bed Martha and Johnson were struggling desperately, Johnson, crazed by passion had his hand over the girl's mouth and with the other was twisting her wrist. The girl was moaning with pain and fear. The Fight . With a leap Ralph was upon the man. Again and again he rained blows upon him. Around and around the room they struggled while the detective stood ready-to help Ralph in case he needed) help. But Raiph didn't need any help because he was doing what he had longed to do. His blows thudded quick and sure upon Johnson who fought back fiercely. Johnson soon saw that he was no match fer Ralph, so with one final effort he lunged at him, and when Ralph ducked Johnson ran toward the bathroom, bent on escaping. But Ralph was just as quick. Picking up a chair he hurled ft at the fleeing Johnson and struck him flush on the back of the head. Johnson fell daze@ and Martha screamed with terror when she saw the blood gush. But Johnson was not yet subdued. He rose unsteadily to his feet and shook his head to bring back his fleeting senses. ‘Then he spied a small knife on the bureau and his eyes lighted up ma- lignantly. ‘He lunged toward it and a feeling of satisfaction came over him when he felt his hand close over the handle. He turned swiftly and confronted Ralph who was now almost upon him. Once more he felt the full force of Ralpits fist aad then the twe men closed tn mortal combat, crash- fag te the floor heaviiv. {ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION . , 7 \ Cs £@ i\ ge 3 ) The. ee A +o | i) AM m7, Hy ad aE way te) ao WY) j iil ; Mi Ba) / WEY Ty thy 7 fa 7 <a Ws iy LN , i} fp pes a ‘i Tn, Ley ae Ce he — y7 P AY ee <fo BS a '., —— “With a leap Ralph was upon the man’ Raiph’s head struck something and he Iay dazed. Then there was the flash of the knife blade as Johnson lifted his hand to strike. As quick as a flash Martha gal- vanized into activity and springing from her vantage point where she had watched the struggle with fas- cinated gaze, she grasped Johnson's arm and kept the blade from de- scending. With a curse Johnson threw her from him across the room and was about to bury the blade in Ralph's prostrate form when the burly offi- cer threw himself into the fray. With a swift movement he breught the butt of his pistol down on Johnson’s head and the man fell like a wet rag to the floor, his nose and mouth bleeding profusely, Martha was at Ralph's side in an instant while the detective lugged Johnson out of the room. “Ralph! Ralph!” Martha screamed. “Speak to me! Ralph! Ralph!” And she shook him vigorously. Slowly Ralph opened his eyes and looked up into her's. She looked beautiful—more beau- tiful than ever, gazing down at him with compassion, gratefulness and a strange light of mingled admiration and newly-awakened affection in her eyes. This was the man who had sought to protect her all along. ~This was the man who had warned her away from the brute who had just been led away. This was the man who had fought for her and had been near to the threshold of death for her sake. Her business had been none of his business and yet he had gone out of his way to help and protect her from violence and shame. All of this came over her with a great surge. ° She was chocked with emotion and hot tears of gratitude welled in her eyes and sprinkled Ralph's cheek. Real Love Suddenly she knew that she loved this brave youth whe had fought for her. With her usual impulsiveness, ehe embraced him and planted a kiss fult upon his lips. “Qh, Ratph!” she exclaimed. “You have been so kind, so good. You have done so much for me.” “I would do anything for you,” he returned passionately, sitting dp, “because I love you. I have always loved you since the first time I saw you. I just couldn't see you fail into that man's clutches and that's why I tried to protect you from him.” He gazed inte her eyes lovingly and with perfect understanding they embraced. Martha quickly dressed and with Ralph gratefully left the sinister house where she had been so sear to ruin. : On their way to the ratlroad sta- tion in a taxicab Ralph teid her how he had come to find out where she and Johnson had gone: “That was a house of li-fame he took you to,” he explained as Mar- tha nestled close to him. Ralph Explains “When I arrived in Chicago I was naturally at a loss to know which direction to go in order to find you. Then I saw a Red Cap in the sta- tion whom I have been knowing for severai years. “1 asked him if he had seen a pretty brewnskin girl come in on your train and he said yes, that he had carried your bags out and that Johnson had met you. You see, he knows Johnson, too. “Well, I told him that I was try- ing to find out where Johnson had taken you. After thinking awhile, he suggested that if dirty work was up Johnson would be likely to take you out to Mrs. Jones’ place where he often took girls.” “So I immediately went down to the police station, got some detec- tives to go with me and went out to that house. “You can imagine my surprise when you denied that Johnson had brought you from Hainesville. The case fell flat right there, but I was so mad that when Johnson started to push me out I couldn't help but hit him. “The detectives wanted to go on about their business, but I pleaded hard with the leader to wait just a little while, as I was sure that Johnson would try to force you to do his will. When you screamed we were across the street and rushed to you immediately.” Martha listened admiringly as the manly young fellow told his story simply and effectively. “Oh, Ralph!" she burst out. “How could I have been so blind? How could I have been 80 stupid? I see everything so clearly now! You know I was just hypnotized by Johnson. He was so crafty and smooth. I had never met any one like him before and it swept me off my feet. I should have known what kind of « man he was after he attempted to attack me the first time” “Yes, dear,” Ralph agreed, “you have been very blind, but it is ex- cusable in a girl as young and in- experience, as you are. Lots of women older and wiser than you have fallen for the honeyed words and ways of Johnson” “What will they do to him,” Mar- tha asked anxiously. “Oh, it'll go pretty hard with him,” Ralph replied. “You know he has violated the Mann act and is also guilty of attempted assault. You will have to testify against him at the trial.” “Oh, I don’t want to do that Ralph. I won't press any charges. Why not let it go? I would never be able te stand the publicity.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION Mrs.Jerome Praises the Modern Girl THE ART OF LOVE By Julia Jerome The following spicy criticism of us comes from a son of Manhattan: My dear Mrs. Jerome: I have read the complaints of "Sally" and "Clara Q" about how terrible we fellows are today and I wish to register one in return. If we are "fast workers" it's because we are in tune with the age. We just haven't the time to play guitars under young female's windows any more. And neither have we the money to thoughtlessly propose life long support to every girl we spend an hour with Every man would like to support his wife in ease and it is because we really want to do this that we hesitate asking a girl in marriage now. The trouble with all these modern girls is that they want to get everything for nothing. And believe me, I'm going to hunt a long time before I trust my future earning power to one of them! And I hope "Clara Q" reads this. I. B. Wise. Now, don't be too wise, Mr. Wise! We must always be careful how we make sweeping generalizations, especially in matters of love, for the human heart varies infinitely. However, I believe that the modern girl, far from wanting everything and giving nothing, is as willing to share responsibility and face facts as men. She has been criticized for her speech and manner of dressing, but both are indicative of her desire to be frank, direct and above board. Even "Sally" and "Clara Q" have been frank in stating what they felt and wanted, and this is admirable; it is better than the time when every woman posed as an angel and made her calculations on the sly. Of course, it is wrong for a woman to think in terms of money, but never forget Mr. I. B. Wise that for thousands of years women have been literally bought and sold and it is hard for them to get out of this mode of thinking entirely. Another thing, women, being the potential mothers of the race, have to consider whether they can depend upon a man for proper support during these critical months of helplessness. They are thinking of their children to come, as well as of themselves. When the state provides for the support of every prospective mother then women can become less calculating. And when the state takes the ban off of contraceptive knowledge then women will be less mercenary. In the past society has put a premium on ignorance rather than upon knowledge. A woman was judged by what she didn't know rather than by what she knew. So, Mr. Wise, have the wisdom to be less sweeping in your opinions and decisions. Offer a woman a square deal, and she is sane and 21, she will meet squarely.

It was a throughfare noted for its fine Negro homes; that hers was the finest among them never occurred to her. Her eyes moved scornfully over its length until they rested upon trees above old Dry Creek. In the farther distance she could see the dim outline of surrounding mountains, and she wondered idly if the low hanging clouds above them would bring rain. Rain meant that old Dry Creek would be flooded. Usually the creek was a strip of sand and pebbles, but during the rainy season it became a raging torrent after each and every shower in the mountains. Dry Creek had long been the favorite retreat for Mayfern's lovers; gnarled and ancient trees grew along its banks; and birds nested in their branches; in spring-time wild flowers grew there in profusion, and in autumn an almost irresistible sweet melancholy hung over it. A tender gleam shone in Dulcie's eyes making her face radiant, as her gaze rested there; her thoughts wer of Keith; she and Keith knew old Dry Creek in its every mood, for there was their trysting place. David Arrives A blustery opening and shutting of the street door and heavy footfalls upon the stair, told her of David's approach. So different from Keith, she thought. Never any sly enterings for David, not one covert movement in his entire make up — straight-forward, square-dealing, good old Dave!—But she simply did not love him any more; she loved Keith. "I love Keith . . . love him." She whispered the words to herself, passionately. Nor was Keith sly, continued her thoughts, defensively; he was just a darling overgrown boy who still played pranks. . . . That accounted for his sudden appearances, his stealthy movements, his evasiveness. Dulcie knew when David entered the room, though she made no sign. "I've had enough of this foolery, Dulcie. You're done a neat job at showing folks how much rope you need to break your neck with. I'm tired of it now, even if you're not. . . . You've got to call a halt. . . Now!" He blurted it all out in his quick outspoken way; he stood amazingly upright in the center of the room; his face was entirely unruffled but as he ceased speaking his large mouth closed into a straight decisive line, his chin was thrust a trifle forward, and the look in his deep-set eyes caused his wife to cringe closer within the folds of the velvet curtain beside her. But an imp of deviltry took possession of her, and the imp rather than herself began to talk: "I don't love you, David, you know it? I love Keith Somerset, you know that, too!" David's voice was firm with the gentle firmness one uses with a wilful child. "That's all right about whom you love, but it's not the issue. . . . You are my wife. . . . You must understand that, just that. . . . It's what concerns us. . . . Do you understand?" With the words, he poked a work-rained finger at her, shaking it a little, almost beneath her nose. The gesture made Dulcie suddenly want to laugh, but the audacity of it angered her: the idea of Dave treating her as if she were some naughty little girl. Dulcie Quits She stamped her feet with all her might and drew her slender form up a great rage . . . (Continued on Page 7) (Continued from page 3) and—well we have each other so why should we care?" Home and Marriage When Ralph and Martha arrived in Hainesville, old Mrs. Hastings, who had received their telegram, was awaiting them at the depot. wrinkled face as she folded her little Martha into her arms. Her voice trembled with gratitude as she embraced Ralph and thanked him for snatching her little girl from ruin. "I don't know how I can ever repay you," she began. "Well, I do," Ralph cut in. "Just let me have Martha and I'll have all of the pay I want?" Mrs. Hastings looked lovingly into the eyes of her daughter and asked, "Do you love Ralph, Martha? Do you really want to marry him?" "Yes, Mother," the girl answered. "Well, then, Ralph," the old lady laughed gaily, "if she is satisfied I guess I ought to be tickled to death," and she placed the hand of her Martha into that of Ralph. Two weeks later Hainesville turned out in a body to the most brilliant wedding the town had ever seen. Friends and relatives from miles around journeyed to the little brick church to witness the ceremony. As kindly old white-haired Rev. Sanderson intoned the sacred vows, the drop of a pin could have been heard. Then as the bride, almost swooning with joy, fell into the arms of her Ralph, he whispered softly into ear, "You are all mine now, my Chocolate Baby!"

Looked like a storm, too; he'd have to hurry. . . Fool business. . . What the devil had Dulcie meant, anyhow? David to the Rescue The pending storm broke with a soughing wind, accompanying fast pelting rain. To anyone listening an alien note could be heard . . . the roaring of the flood-waters washing down from the upper bends of old Dry Creek . . . but the ominous sounds merely intermingled with the other din and went unnoticed to one heedlessly hurrying as Dulcie was doing. Keith on the farther bank saw her approaching; to get to him she would have to cross Dry Creek. . . . She could never make it. . . . He saw the wall of water coming and growing as it came. Horror clutched him: Dulcie was not slackening her speed. . . . She came on. . . . She was climbing down the bank. . . . He lifted his voice in a warning shout. . . . The angry wind snatched the cry from his lips and flung it into nothingness. He stood helplessly there, hideously afraid . . . waiting to see Dulcie swept to her death by the water. . . . Dulcie, weared from her long walk in the teeth of the gale and nearly blinded by the lashing rain, half fell, half climbed down the sloping bank. When she saw her danger her feet froze to the spot, and she had not strength with which to move them; she raised her voice, conscious of trying to call for Keith . . . "K—K—Ke—;" but, instead, the name that leaped from her throat in an agonizing scream was: "David . . . David . . . Dave . . ." The flood came on, nearer, nearer When the muddy waters closed . . . sweeping her off her feet . . . strong arms encircled her . . . But they were not the arms of the angry waters that dashed madly down old Dry Creek, gaining momentum as the night wore on. . . They were David's arms holding her safely and securely the while he floundered and struggled through the seething waves to safety. Keith Somerset had time to think many things as he witnessed David's brave effort to save his wife . . . the wife whom he had sought to rob him of . . . He would have given much to be able to wipe the memory of those months of trifling from his heart; for the first time in his selfish, self-satisfied existence he was face to face with love . . . Love stripped of all pretense, unconcealed and glorious . . . Humbly he proffered his hand to assist David up the steep bank . . . but the struggling David elected to finish the race unalded . . . and alone. Forever and Ever Rose tinted lights glowed softly through Duicie's room. . . A cheery blaze upon the hearth gleamed red . . . and the love in the hearts of the man and woman there was rose-colored, too . . . "Davy dear," whispered Dulcie, drawing closer. "I'll be good always after today, always . . ." David opened his arms and Dulcie crept into them before he spoke: "My little wife . . . forever and forever . . ." And high above all other noises in Mayfern that night was the thundering of the muddy waters in old Dry Creek, where love had won the race.

JOSEPHINE The Sitting Posture We should not give the impression that we feel like lying down whenever we are sitting. A lot of women as soon as they sit down droop their shoulders and sprawl out as if they were utterly fatigued. Such a posture is not only ugly, but vulgar. Holding the shoulders up and the breast high will always give you dignity. When sitting, the hands are pleasingly folded, palms up in the lap. Or with one hand you can toy lightly with the beads you wear, which gives a nice and not too obvious chance to show off the hand and the rings you wear. The feet should never be allowed to slump over, or sprawl out, or the toes to point together when you are sitting. It is well to learn the pose of the ballet dancer, who always arches her foot and points her toes downward; especially is the pointed toe and arched instep lovely in crossing your legs. With practice, these postures will all flow naturally and any stiffness you feel at first will disappear. A great actress once told me that she thought every woman should study her gestures and her sitting and standing postures before the mirror. "An actress has to do it," she said, "but every woman ought to do it." Wearing Your Clothes Presents (Continued on page 8) A Deal in Truck longing to please his new little wife.

She would make Keith take her away . . . he had to! He certainly had not sounded too overly pleased at the prospect . . . but then . . . hadn't that been his plea and plaint for the last six months? David suddenly knew that it was raining. . . . It seemed to him that some part of himself had known it for a long, long while, and that some other portion of his being simply did not care, now that Dulcie had gone, whether it rained or hailed, or whether sunbeams danced or died. . . . It did not matter. It was this part of him that was hearing the rain for the first time. . . . It could not have been raining long, for he was still standing here in the center of the room . . .

"In Spite of The Automobile Put Lawrence Business, but He Refused to G in Anoth "In Spite of Handicap" The Automobile Put Lawrence Budd Out of the Blacksmith Business, but He Refused to Give Up, and Became Successful in Another Field By ROBERTA BOSLEY LAWRENCE OTTO BUDD was the big, humorous and most successful Negro blacksmith in Montgomery county, Maryland. He was the third son of a family of thirteen children. This man, thirty-four years old at the time, could shoe more horses and repair as many wagon springs, plough shares, wheelbarrows and horse saddles in one day as could any five men. Because he was jolly and forever bubbling over with life his shop was the center where all the farmers from miles away would gather on rainy days and bring their disabled farm apparatus to be mended. Here they would chat, chew large wads of tobacco, spit constant streams of brown tobacco juice on the black, dirt floor and farm verbally for hours. Often the blacksmith would interrupt his work to crack a heavy joke with the men. This was the blacksmith shop, stuffy and reeking with smoke and the odor of burnt horse hoof and crowded with harmless and good-hearted men. In the blacksmith shop—that was the place to be on a rainy day. About the year 1920 and practically over night machine power swept over the whole state of Maryland. With the appearance of the tractor and Ford's machine there was little use for horses. Those who had formerly kept large teams now had only two horses at the most. Touring cars and trucks replaced wagons, carriages. The blacksmith himself now owned a Ford touring car. Blacksmithing soon was a thing of the past. The happy little shop which had been successful for over eighteen years was now closed. There were children and a wife to feed. Lawrence Budd had never been to school but so many days in his life, HERMES (God of Luck) LUCKY LURE Don't worry about bad luck in love or with money.

December 8, 1928 United Laboratories, Dept. 83, 202 S. State St., Chicago, Ill. 1910 Lawrence Budd in His Work Clothes but his lack of education did not intimidate him. He had no time to think about handicaps, but instead picked up a paint brush, and began to do interior decorating and carpentry. Somehow he had always had the art and liking for paints, brushes, saws and hammers, and this was as good a trade as any, he thought. As might be expected, his beginning was rather difficult and uncertain. Few people thought the blacksmith could possibly know about anything other than shoeing horses or repairing wagon bodies. But seeing is believing. After several successful minor jobs his big opportunity came when a certain wealthy family contracted with him to build a bungalow. And he won his first recognition as an interior decorator and carpenter when he built from the foundation up a most modern bungalow in a certain rich residential section of that county. This was the making of Lawrence O. Budd's reputation as a first class carpenter. Untrained as he is today, the former blacksmith commands as much attention in his new profession as he did in the blacksmith days. Untrained as he may be it is astounding and inspiring to look on some of the bric-a-brac, antique types of tables, and many other kinds of furniture that he has "turned out of his head," as he terms it. Last summer, while visiting the home of a well known Quaker family where Lawrence Budd had done some especially fine carpentry, a LUCKY HAND DRAW ANYTHING YOU WANT TO YOU Dear Friend! Power! Elicits!

However, if you are not sure of your taste it is safer to have the coat correspond in color, if not entirely in shade, with the dress. A tan dress can be worn beautifully with a brown coat; but try to have the hat, shoes and hose tan, also, or a combination of the two; and your purse and flower should also be tan. But after all the safest plan is to get coat, dress, hose, shoes, gloves and purse to match—then add a relieving color note in the flower, the handkerchief, the beads and earrings.
