BY Fingers laden down with rings of many sorts have a way of looking vulgar. But there seems to be no limit to the number or variety of bracelets that fashionable women carry upon their arms.

Nora Rayes wears five bracelets on_one arm, each one a marvel .of barbaric workmanship, and on the other arm she wears at the same time a wide solid gold adornment that might better be called a wrist than a bracelet.

With the period frock that suggests without actually Imitating the fashions that were in style when Empress ‘Eugenie was {n power, it is appropriate to wear a pair of old-fashioned brace- lets clasped round the wrist.

Helen Sees Herself as Others See Her. Right on the job, came’ that old hag . . . jealousy. As a magnet attracts steel, so was Helen's gaze held by the perfection of the young woman opposite her. Propinquity— yes—propinquity was love's alter ego, she reminded herself. And here was something to be ‘feared—something subtle, of a sort strange to her. Selt-consciously she tucked her carelessly shod feet under the shel- ter of her chair and a hand jammed down a bright red silk hat. She felt suffocated—overwhelmed, by a se- quence of disturbing thoughts. Para- mount was the paralyzing certainty thatqher husband was ashamed of her. Her mind geared into her own dis- advantages. It gave her a jar that sent a cold wave of fear through her. An avalanche of doubts assailed her. For a moment, in her eyes, there w an_expression of hopeless and t defeat. Loneliness came down her like a pall. One thing, she decided, she wouldn't resort to sarcasm. That in Bob's eves would be the last straw. Then, quite suddenly, her eyes chunged to a crystal brightness. It was the lgni- tion of sub-conscious thought fanned into flame. There was something magnificent about Helen's nature when aroused, but the trouble was it took something in the nature of & bomb. to arouse her. A breath-taking sense of grand ad- venture oozed out of her not-over- clean fingertips. She'd -fight this issue with this woman's own weap- ons, and there save her romance from the matrimonial rocks. No in- tention, had Helen, of feeling a fresh and vital husband to the fire this office-siren had lighted. She wus impatient tor her husband to finish with her—she wanted to be off. Sisters under the skin are the colonel's lady and Judy O'Grady; their one great bond is love for their man. Both desire to kéep those wan- dering affections that the proverbial- 1y fickle male bestowed on them in vouth’s Springtime. Flying wasn't fast enough to keep up with Helen's desire to talk with this creator of feminine beauty she had read of. who longed for human faces to manipulate fnto lovely human art. Her eyes grew round with amaze- gic on ment as she looked about the salon. Gorgeous hangings, walls. of dull silver paneling and doors of the fashionable shade called Russian green made a beautiful setting for the dainty Louis XVI furniture with its upholstery in happy tones of yel- Jow, rose and blue.

Answers to these questions in tomorrow's Star. Moonshine. There are some very mysterious things about moonshine, both earthly moonshine and celestial, but it Is quite interesting enough and much more legal to center one's attention on the heavenly moonshine. What light would be like on the moon is hard to say. Certainly, as the moon has practically no atmosphere or dust, a man standing in the shadow of a moon rock would be in abso- lute night. Stepping out of the shadow, he might, if the sun were at the noon of the long lunar dav. | atep into blinding and flercely hot sunlight. The moon's light, which is all reflected sunlight, comes to us with few of the properties of direct sunlight. It has no material warmth and does not fnduce growth M plants. However, it can do one won- derful thing that direct sunlight can do. It can, on very rare occasions, make a rainbow. Now what do you know about that? Answers to Yesterdsy's Questions. 1. The earth is probably drying up, but almost imperceptibly, and wet and dry ages probably alternate with each other. 2. The earth is probably shrinking very slowly despite the drift of meteoric dust to the earth's surface. 3. The earth is certainly colder than it once was: whether the in- terior of the earth is cooling per- ceptibly it is hard to" say; as for the cooling of the atmosphere, that depends on the amount of carbon dioxide in it (a scarcity of this gas may have brought on the ice age), and this probably varies in cycles. 4. The earth was presumably made out of the sun or out of the same mass of material. 5. The moon does not revolve around the sun directly, in spite of the powerful pull of that immense body, but around the smaller earth, for the reason that the moon prob- ably flew off from the earth at some time, torn from ft perhaps by the pull of some passing star, and, never leav- ing the earth far, never escaped the earth's domination. 6. The earth revolves around the sun because of the sun's great at- tractive force, sun and earth prob- ably having been set spinning by the same motive force, whatever that was; it does not succumb to the sun's pull and fall onto the sun because of the centrifugal force of the earth’'s rotation, like a ball on a string being whirled around the head, which can make neither a wider nor a narrower cirele while the same speed is main- tained.

Cow’s Milk. ‘While the statement is often made that all bables can take milk if it is fed to them in proper amounts in the beginning. there is a type of child who cannot take even a teaspoonful of cow's milk without showing marked symptoms of disturbance. These most often take the form of violent intes- tinal activity and sometimes hives or eczema develop. Sometimes an hour or 8o after taking cow's milk the baby will break out with a rash or develop a fever and a swollen face. This type of child has a natural idiosyncrasy against milk. Feeding milk, however carefully, will do little good. The child must be desensitized before milk can be given in sufficient quantitiés to do him much good. This desensitization can be in two ways. The baby can be fed a drop of milk g: one teaspoon of water the first day. ext day he can be given two drops, and so on, increasing by the drop until the child can take the five drops @ day. Continue this slow process until in from two to six months the child shows no reaction to the milk and can be given it in fair-sized quan- tities. Older children can sometimes take dry milk in capsules. Boiled milk or goat's milk will sometimes be digested without bad symptoms when cow's milk causes trouble. Children can be inoculated against cow's milk almost as one would in- oculate against disease. The child {s. vaccinated with whey protein until he' no longer develops any abnormal symptoms when fed cow’s milk. When children show this sensitiza- tion one or the other of these methods should be followed, of course, with the help of the physician, as it is so essen- tial that growing children have milk. It is almost impossible to find foods which will give them the necessary amount of protein without milk. Lessons in English BY W. L. GORDON.

AS HE THOUGHT IT OVER AND ACTUALLY CAME TO THE CON- CLUSION THAT HE WOULD TELL HER, THE THOUGHT OF FREEDOM WAS LIKE A REFRESHING BREATH OF AIR TO HIS NOSTRILS. John Henderson and Helena Ford are engaged to be married, and John ia tired of her. CHAPTER IL How It Happened. Helena Ford was at the head of one of the departments in John's firm. ‘When he had first met her he had actually liked her for the very quali- tles he now cisliked, but that had been two yvears ago. : He had liked her steadiness, her quiet reasoning, the fact that he could depend on her. She was re- freshing compared with the fev , hectic women of the modern age. She was not drawn to New York's night life aside from seeing a_good play occasionally. She was always exquisitely dressed. She usually af- fected dark blue or black with sheer collar and cuffs. It gave her a fresh look that set her apart from the other women, and after John had known her a year he had asked her to marry him. Her hair was short, but it was so neatly arranged that at a distance it did not seem to be bobbed. It was of lovely chestnut color and lay in loose waves against her well shaped head. Her mouth was beautiful, gen- erously cut and tender. But her eyes were her loveliest feature. They gave the impression of having untold pos- sibilities. Their color was almost in- definable, a shade between mouse- brown and gray. But it wasn't so much the color as the expression that was so lovely. To look Into them one had the feeling of seeing into great depths. B Perhaps John had been drawn in the first place by Helen's eves. There was so much promise in them. But after he had asked her to marry him and she had consented, there had been a fairly conventional engagement. If Helena's eves promised, never gave. | He discovered that she was always exactly the same. Their love making was conven- tional, too. He kissed her when they met, but there was never any re- sponse in her manner. Man-like he could not put into words what he felt was a lack in her, and so during the time of their engagement there | had been a growing feeling of irri- tation that had culminated in the knowledge that he did not want Helena after all. He knew quite well that she had not the slightest inkling of this/ She was placidly complacent and’ eternally agreeable. She never quarreled. She talked about thelr marriage quite calmly as though it were the most natural thing in the world, and John felt Parking With Peggy they “How often the man who forgets his wedding anniversary is the o who has occasion to remember it v d ? ever: ¢ of th ON HOLIDA through tions. M that requires the purest and most wholesome ingredi- Thanksgivin ents obtainable. afterward things would be exactly as they were now. He didn't want that. He hadn't realized that she was not a romantic type when he had asked her to marry him, not until it was too late. He didn’t want placidity, he wanted fire. Any quality at all that was feminine and not self-assured. Women ap- proaching marriage should he any- thing but that. John had wanted her to marry him immediately, but Helena had wanted to wait. She wanted plenty of time to get her clothes together. She wafited everything to be pleasantly leisurely. John often wondered what would have happened if he had de- liberately carried her off, forced her to run away with him. But then it probably wouldn't have made much difference. She wasn't the type’ of woman to be flery and romantically in love. He was well aware of that fact now that thefr marriage was only one short month away. There came a night shortly after their dinner together when he had made up his mind to tell her the truth. Somewhere he had read that if either of two engaged people dis- covered in time that a mistake had been made, it was fafrer to tell the truth. And after all, why not? Why marry Helena feeling as he did? She was a sensible woman. Of course her pride would be hurt, but she vould get over it. Besides, she was oung and attractive. She would meet another man who would be bet- ter suited to her. As he thought it over and actually came to the conclusion that he would tell her. the thought of freedom was ke a refreshing breath of alr in his nostrils, be free.
