To turn from Arthur's troubles to Natalle's, Natalie was by no means so confident as she had appeared to be when Martha had talked to her. Of course, it never occurred to her to take Martha into her confidence. To Nat® Me, all women of that age were ene- mies; they belonged to a different gen eration. Besides, { Martha was her mother, and it was the understanding of the younger set that mothers were impossible about everything. And so Natalle had hidden her {houghts behind a flippancy of manner that had entirely deceived her mother. She had presented a callous exterior, when in reality she was more than a lttle troubled. That night, for the first time. Lucien had overstepped the barrler that Natalie had erected hetween them. Before she had known what he in- tended to do. before shea had had a hance to fend him off. he had leaned toward her, he had seized her hands in his and was talking to her in a \oice that was curiously unsteady. “Natalie, this can’t o on; 1 can't stand it. T'm in love with you and vou know it, have known it for ages. 1 can't stand it to have you play with me. That may do very well for a younger man. but 1 have too much at stake, the time is too short. I love vou, T want yvou. Come away with * I can make you Natalie had tried to treat the matter lightly. “Come away with you We ask for under- standing, But often what we mean Is that all our Priends will see vs As wed rather wed be seen. LN orately innocent. “But how absurd, Lucien. How could 1 do that even if T would? It happens that you are married. Had you forgotten?" He had stared at her then, held her eyes until her glance had wavered be- fore his, and she had found herself suddenly afraid. He looked so grim. %0 unlike the friendly Lucien who had been such a delightful playmate. She realized in that moment that he could not be played with as she had played with other yvounger men. Of course, that had been his main charm, the | knowledge that she could not hope to | hold him always at arm’s length, but now that she was face to face with a danger that was real she was uncer- tain of herself, not at all sure how much she cared for his man. “Natalie,” he was saying. “Do vou care for me at all or have vou been playing with me all this time? I have been patfent with you: I have tried to consider your youth. But there have heen times when I have felt that you must care for me, times when you have Jooked at me with something more than friendship in your eyes. If 1 have hoped, then certainly you have. | 8lven me the right to hope. In desperation Natalie searched her mind for an answer to his question. Did she care for him? Did she? Of course, she did like him; she liked him more than any man she had ever met. He fascinated her; when she was with him he seemed to exert a spell over her. But did she love him, and if so, what was she going to do about it? “Oh Lucien.” she began, and even { us she said the words it occurred to her to spar for time, to give hersell a chance to think things over, to post- pone the issue at least until she had had a chance to be alone and decide what to do. "'Oh, Lucien,” she went quickly. “I'm afraid I don't know my own mind. T do like vou; I like you a lot, but I haven’t thought about anything else. 1 must have time to think things out. Surely you can un- derstand that."” Her manner was that of a bewild- ered child facing reality for the first tilne, and hope leaped high in Lucien's breast. She did care, he thought ex- ultantly, and under the circumstances he could afford to be patient. He could afford to wait if, in the end, she gave him the answer that he wanted, Natalie's thoughts were in a whirl as she entered the apartment and was confronted by Martha.

MARGETTE. What Tomorrow Means to You BY MARY BLAKE. Aries. Tomorrow's planetary aspects are excellent, and betoken success along all lines of constructive endeavor, al- though they especially favor work In connection with finance or law. A clarity of vision will be apparent which will enable sane judgment to be exercised, and there will be no lack of urge to see things through to a finish. Doubts and misgivings are conspicuous by their absence, and there will be sensed a feeling of self- assurance, and complete confidence in your own efforts. The influence will stimulate the best emotions and it is an auspicious occasion for marriage, and happiness—enduring and serene—will result from weddings cele- brated tomorrow. A child born tomorrow will enjoy an infancy almost entirely free from the. ills that are usually attendant on such a period. The only thing to guard against is accident, as the child’s spirit and health will be so exuberant as to tempt it to take chances that another less strong would resist. In character, a boy will be loyal and constant, whereas a girl will play tendencies of insincerity. The boy will be unselfish and liberal in thought and deed, whereas the girl will be self-centered and a mental “tightwad.” The boy promises to at- tain both material and moral success, whereas the gir], will, according to the signs, achieve the former, but not the latter. If tomorrow is your birthday, you are a really good, wholesome person at heart, but apparently are afraid to show it, either in words or actlons. Your impulses are all to the good, but, when acting on them and doing a real service for some other person, you always endeavor, figuratively speak- ing, to establish an alibi. You pride yourself on your gruffness, which is considered by some uncouthness. A sworn enemy of affectation you at- tempt to assume an attitude that re- pels, rather than attracts. Many, es- pecially those vou know rather well, gee through your dissimulation, and though they resent your mannerisms— which are at the last analysis unadul- terated affectation—the appreciate at their true value your sterling worth. You are able, alert and painstaking. ‘Well known persons born on that date are: Stephen B. Luce, naval of- ficer; Elwell 8.

Gives the Real Low-Down to Feminine Readers What Men Most Admire in Women DorothyDix Men Are Supposed to Admire Beauty, But They Seldom Marry It—Instead of Cold Perfection They Prefer Good Nature, Health, Neatnes G ENERALLY speaking, it may be said that man is the audience to which woman always.plays. She is not indifferent to the admiration of her own sex, but it is man's that she seeks most, for the praise of woman for woman is the profitless applause of those who have nothing but their good opinion to give, while the favor of man is accompanied by perquisites and prizes for the lucky one who wins it. Of course, women will deny this. The traditional attitude of woman toward man is that of a goddess on a pedestal with her nose in the air, who haughtily deigns to sniff at the incense that is burned before her; not a so-getter who is out to round up an incense burner. Nevertheless, the most casual observer cannot help remarking that a woman never quite treats a woman as she treats a man or takes quite as much trouble to please her. No woman listens to another woman's conversation with the same rapt attention that she bestows upon a man No woman ever beams and gurgles with delight at the attentions of another woman as she does at the notice ot even a commonplace man. \When a man tells a story a woman's laughter is hung on a hgir trigger that any old chestnut will explode, but a woman \\'hukcnn make her own sex smile deserves a medal as a wit and faithful worker. All of this ven ordained, for a woman neither has to marry ve to keep her satistied and happy through The strange part of it, however, is that, having made a study of the art of pleasing men since the dawn of creation, women have not reduced it o an exact science, So, far from this being the case—instead of a handy qualitfes that men like most in women having been compiled, after profound study of masculine tuste—women are still ignorantly blundering along in the dark, content to make guesses al the subject. Naturally, when the entire feminine sex is trying to solve the conundrum many wonien guess right and many others approximate the answer. But a continually increasing number guess wrong, and in consequence the ranks of the spinsters are swelled. ORDING to popular belie A ity is the qu at the head of the st of att reality this cuts a much smaller figure than is generally supposed. men put a much more ltheral interpretation upon what constitut in & woman than women do themselve: A woman demands regularity of feature, delicacy of skin, sheen of, hair and grace of figure before she will give a certiticate of pulchritude to another woman, but men will substitute many other agreeable things, such as good health or a pretty dress for beauty and let it go at that. lity which is always put In fact, good looks if the time and effort that women spend in ight hair curly or convert a short and stubby figure into a living skeleton might be better employed in cultivating an amiable disposition or a sweet smile, which a man is as likely as not to mistake for a Venuslike complexion or u classical profile. It is also true that men do not marry for beauty, however much they may admire it abstractly. Is this not abundantly proved by the number of matrons with whom we are all acquainted who would never have received even honorable mention in a beauty contest? This-suggests that much the vain attempt to make str Next to beauty, women depend on clothes to attract men, and yet, although the great majority of women spend most of their time and money and serious thought on dressing to please men, they have never found out the kind of clothes that men admire most. Men like simplicity in a woman's dress. It may be the simplicity that costs more than miles of frills, but to the untutored eye it looks simple. 1 In old-fashioned novels, which were written mostly by men, the girl who wore an unsophisticated white muslin dress always captured the rich and distinguished hero from out of the very claws of the ladies who were dressed in silks and satins and laces. And the same ideal of women's dress prevails today among men HEY hate the fussy and the frowsy in clothe: stress far more than women do upon cleanliness. Only too often a woman will forgive chiffon for being messy because it is chiffon, or excuse lace for being dirty because it is old point. But & man makes none of these fine distinctions, Nothing would induce him to wear , and above all they lay 1 soiled collar, and nothing disgusts him in a woman more than to see her decked out in finery that cries aloud for the washtub. The woman who dresses to please man may spend much | money or little on her clothes, but she must always be immaculately neat, and the trimmer and tauter the better. The hour-glass figure was woman's evolution to meet the requirements of masculine taste. So is the living skeleton of the hour. - Men like good nature in women. They like the woman who takes a kindly attitude toward life—the woman who throws the beautiful mantle of her charity over her fellow creatures and who can always find some excuse for a sinner. Men hate the woman who makes sarcastic speeches, who is bitter and sour, and who is always knocking other women. Many a plain-faced girl can make rings all around her more beaitiful and brilliant sister when it comes to popularity just because she is So sweet and amiable and easy to get along with, | Such a ghl just naturally impels a man's thoughts toward marriage, because he knows beforehand that she would make one of the wives who st a blind eye to their husband's faults, who do not begrudge a man an evening out now and then, and to whom a husband doesn’t have to lie to get a few rights and privileges. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1926.) PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. For comfort and health the open fireplace serves an execellent purpose, either to supplement other heating in very cold weather or as the sole means of heating in milder weather. (Copyright, 1926.) The Fireside Fancy. Old Mr. Gilchrist made few remarks throughout the Winter, though I should like to know what he thought about the coal conspiracy, the coke !combine, the gas grab and so on. When the worst of it was over, and the groundhog had seen his shadow, and the hired man the error of his way, we installed one of these mew fangled radiant heaters, and, sir, T admit it frankly, Mr. Gilchrist purred the song of contentment for the first time this Winter. He just stretched. and squinted his cruel eyes, and tried his wicked claws in the rug, and bask- ed in the radiance of that exorbitant contraption as a negro basks in the dog-day sun. : A cat is a better criterion of this radiant heat than a thermometer is. The cat will tell you the room is nice and warm, or at least the fire is satis- factory, when the thermometer tells you that the room temperature is only 60. 1t is a familiar saying that the oc cupants of a room which depends on a fireplace for heat roast on one side and freeze on the other. This char- acteristic American exaggeration con- tains a grain of truth. The truth is that radiant heat, from a blazing fire, glowing coals or incandescent surface, acts like the.rays of the sun on a cold da; hat is, it warms objects and the bodies of animals or persons without warming the air very much. Mr. Gilchrist basks in the radiant heat bath and worrles little about the un- radiated and comparatively unwarmed surface of his body that happens to be in the shade, so to speak. Another common saying about a fireplace is that most of the heat goes | up the chimney and is wasted. This is scarcely a half truth. Perhaps most of the fuel value is lost in the'fireplace method of heating. but we must re- member that a very lrge proportion of the potential heat in fuel is lost in any kind of heating equipment, and the open fireplace has certain impor- tant advantages which easily offset this apparent lack of economy One of the main hyglenic advan- tages in the open fireplace is that it greatly improves ventilation. The or- dinary fireplace completely changes the alr in the room every hour. Another distinct advantage which the open fire has over any other con- trivance for the combustion of fuel for heating purposes is that it keeps the air of the room fairly well con- ditioned. That is to say, it dries out the air less than stoves or furnaces or radiators do. In colonial days, when the open fire- place was the only method of heat- ing employed, a room temperature of 56 degrees F. was considered comfort- able, even in hospitals, sick rooms or nurseries. And it was actually as comfortable as the modern furnace- heated room at 70, because the old- fashioned heating kept the air con- ditioned, whereas the modern method converts it into something a peg drier than the driest desert air. People who have to depend on radiators alone for heat vaguely realize the desir- ability of evaporating moisture in the rooms, but they seldom understand that the average room requires the | evaporation of at least two gallons 1 of water each day to bring the humid- ity up to a fair degree, if the tempera- ture is as high as 70; half as much water will give a better humidity if the temperature is kept around 66.

The Easiest Years. For a girl it's true—the first 20 vears are the easiest, as far as her making a hit with people is concerned. While you're young and silly and cute, people forgive your ignorance and your lack of education. While you're 17 or 18 or 19 yon can swim along easily with the current of social events. You can tea and dine and dance, talking amiable nothings to every one you meet. You can show a pretty disregard for modern politics. You can shrug your shoulders adorably and exclaim: “Goodness no, I don't play. My great- est achlevement {s opsticks’ " And people will think you're amusing. You may admit frankly that the only book with which you're familiar is the telephone directory, that your knowledge of art is based on what you learned in drawing class—and you may perfectly get away with your attitude of disinterest. All this before' and even a little while after you're 20. But listen! You've got 40 or 60 more years of life coming to you after that, and what have you done to make yourself Interesting and charming in the long, long future? Just now you may be romping along with a crowd who are perfectly satis- fied with you as long as you dance well, dress well, and “shoot a good | line.” | But in the years to come, you'll be | up against something different. | If you marry, you'll want to hold the interest of your husband.

By a man's walk you can form accurate judgment of his character and disposition. His manner, his gait, the way he carries himself—all be- speak just what he is. If a man walks with stealth, pick- ing up his feet gingerly, setting them down cautfouely, you may be sure that he is inclined to be cunning and tricky and will gain his ends by de- vious ways. He can scheme, work in the dark, mislead and deceive, when he deems it necessary for success, whether in business or social life. By close observation his thoughts and purposes can be discovered. A secretive, cunning person will have a stealthy walk, like that of a fox. Although he may weigh 200 pounds, his step will be light and springy He will move quietly and smoothly like an animal when stalk- ing_prey. | Keep your eves open, be on your guard against this type. Pay liftle attention to his words, but watch him walk when he is unaware that he is being observed. It is then that you will receive a true insight into his character. (Copyright. 1926.) BY J. O.

Guessing is not at all satisfactory. Reddy Fox, grinning to himself and thinking himself very, very smart, trotted along through the Green For- est just far enough behind Bowser the Hound to be sure that by no chance would Bowser discover that he was there. Bowser was following a trail with that wonderful nose of his and growing more and more excited as the trail grew fresher. It was the trail of the stranger who had come to the Green Forest, but Bowser thought it was the trail of Reddy Fox, for cer- tainly it had the Fox smell. You know that Reddy Fox is very clever in fooling dogs who may be fol- lowing his trail. He is very clever at fooling Bowser the Hound, although sometimes he has hard work doing it and has to use a lot of tricks. Some of these tricks he worked out for him- self, some he learned from Old he wondered if the stranger would be smart enough to fool Bowser. It rather pleased him when he found that the stranger had tried some of the simpler tricks and had failed to fool Bowser.

Bowser was the foot of a big hemlock tree, looking up in it and barking with great ex citement. Yes, sir, that is just wha Bowser was doing.
