Ry e though he had made her feel resent- ful. She felt that knowing him would be far more interesting than knowing ten men like the nice blond one who seemed so drawn toward her. Fay turned her amber eyes upon the flying scenery, and for kome rea- son she did not feel so confidently happy as she had so short a time ago. The careless indifference of those gray eyes had hurt her pride. She iid not feel so confident of herself as she had, she did not even feel so well dressed. Strange misgivings began to assail her. The knowledze that each flying telegraph pole was bringing her near- |er and nea to Shadow Valley | brought a cold fear to her heart After all, wasn't this plan of hers rather ridiculous? Why had she | done it; how could she ever have been s0_foolish? Other thoughts crowded in upon her. she had never before entered a hotel one and skt was suddenly |afraid. Even the memory of the dashing Kitty Carlyle failed to restore her confidence. After all, Kitty Car- Iyle was nothing but a character in a hook, and this was real life. How i could she hope to carry off things with a_high nd as Kitty had? Be- {sides, Kitty had been a real widow, { and she was only a make-believe one. | It had all been a terrible mistake, and "t there was nothing to do now but » through with it. For what seemed an interminable { time, us she leaned back in her seat {and watched the country with eyes { that actually saw nothing, she faced panic, and then, hecause she wa desperate, she took herself in hand. Inwardly, she lashed herself with scorn. ““You know that you can handle this thing if you make up your mind to do {1t,” she said to herself furfously. “The trouble with you is that so far | things have been too easy; vou've | been’ entirely too successful from the | start. Are you going to be a coward | and confess yourself a failure befqre you've even started your campaign?”’ Gradually, as she scolded herself, :° | the feeling of panic left her and her | tense nerves relaxed. | I will make a success of this thing. | T will, [ will!” she said over and over. i | And as she said the words self-cen- fidence stole magically back upon =, and. she sat up a little straighter in her seat, resolved never again to ad- mit even for a moment the thought of failure.

If you want to test yourself out on how good a woodsman you are, try now in these days of glorious Autumn coloration to pick out the common trees of Washington and the District of Columbia by their hues. To make it a test that will impress your friends you ought really to venture your guess from a hundred vards dis- tance, when you are too far away to see the shape of the leaves, or even to get more than a general notion of the outline of the tree. If you see a stately tree gleaming in purest, luminous glittering gold it is certain to be a tulip while a poplar or a willow or a beech has various shades of old, 1 gold, and i may be told by the the poplar, the fine silve acery of the beech twigs or llow " or red branchlets of the willow. The scarlet | oak is generally not scarlet, but erim- son, while the white oak turns are true, translucent scarlet and the Maryland and black and jack oaks are shades of greeny bronze. The ashes turn almost increditable shades of mauve, old rose and llac ere they fall, hues move pastel and delicate than most of our trees. The hickories are apt to turn zn orange. vellow, and In the city streets, where elms and lindens are iy planted, a dull, dirty yvellow, oc onally glori- fled to rich gold, is the ru And not only the trees, but the bushes, too, have each their particu- lar Autumn glorfes. The purplered| blueberries are like a low running| fire these days, leaping here and there to taller tongues of flame, where the sumac lifts its head, and on the ground the blackberries make a five- leafed pattern of copper red and lilac, spangled with the first hoar frost. Beware the glorious purple vine tan- gled in the trees, though; it may be innocent Virginia creeper, but it is more likely that it will prove to be the dreaded poison ivy. Brown Betty.

They { denote ingl s of pessimism, dis- appointment and acrimony. It is usu- ally much easler to give way to these i in the privacy of the home than when away from the family, or is away. It, there- fore, behooves one and all to make a supreme effort to withstand the temp- tation to be “grouchy” and to assert those impulses in your nature which make for harmony and peace. Children born tomorrow are as sured of a normal physical condition during fnfancy. The ailments from which they suffer will be few in num- ber and slight in character, and their quick, recuperative powers will en- able them to shake off the effects of an illness with greater and quicker effect than is the ordinary experi- ence. In disposition they will be win- some and 'attractive, although, like other children, they will have their faults and need correction from time to time. They will be anxious to ac- quire knowledge and will display zest in doing so. They will not neglect, in thelr thirst for learning, the recre- ations and pastimes incidental to youth. They will be normally healthy, moral children and will grow up to be normally healthy and moral men and women. If tomorrow is your birthday wou have a great deal of self-possession and are apparently as much at vour ease in a hut as in a drawing room and as undaunted in the presence of one in authority s you are com- panionable with those of lesser degree. In many this indifference to sur- roundings is simulated and provokea by self-assertiveness, which is com- monly called “gall.” This repels, does not ring true and invijtes unfriendly criticism. In your case, however, your attitude {s attributable to the fact that you have great self-respect, are a great reader and a ready and fluent conversationalist. You are very adaptable, resourceful, quick- witted and able, and more than ordi- narily trustworthy, not only in ma- terial matters, but in confidences. You can usually figure a *“way out™ { of ‘all difficulties and troubles. Your | perception, at times, seems almost uncanny. Friends who appeal to you for advice never go away empty- headed. You are loving and lovable, devoted to your home, fond of home life and | like to entertain, espectally if you can | have around you people with minds as keen and intellects as nimble as your own. 18302 , I} he sed, Wat T never | FEATURES.
