The world Jooked good indeed to Sarah, who had had her share of “ups and downs,” @3 she expressed it, and was glad to arrive at this time of peace after a lite of toil and self-denfal. Her life had been différent from Maria’s. Maria had married early a good man, Who had been a money-maker and had humored her in everything. ‘00 much for her own good,” Sarah some- times thought, because it had made her selfish and exacting. How Reu ben got along so well with his mother was always a mystery to Sarah. But Reuben was a fine fellow—big, hand- some, zond-natured and as thrifty as his father d been before him. Reuben was 30 never mar- ried, though 1 sometimes thought he cared a lot for Letty Marsh, who was an old school friend of his. But Maria did not seem to ltke Letty, and so Sarah had thought best not to mention her to her sis- ter. “Oh, Well!"” thought Sarah. “I'll soon be there now and know the best."” That was a characteristic of Sarah’s. «—she always sought the best and laughed away most of her troubles. a chuckle, * She said a trouble laughed at was | more than half conquered. In the yard, she found Reuben busy washing his automobile, He gave her a cordial greeting and she paused o moment to chat with him. She noticed, she was talking to him, he kept look- ing wistfully toward the little gray schoolhouse, which_was dn a knoll across the creek. While they stood there talking, the teacher let the scholars out for their morning re- —_— W.L.DOUGLAS Jall Styles $6 and $‘2’ 8 I | | however, all the time | cess. They flocked out of the school- house in twos and threes. Soon they were followed by the teacher her- self, who seemed as glad as they to get out into the sunshine. “Who teaches there, Sarah asked. Reuben?” o Sarah exclaimed in genuine surprise. “Why, I used, to know her folks. I guess I'll have to get acquainted with her while I'm here. Is that foot bridge safe?” “Sure. It has borne me. I must weigh nearly twice as much as you do.”” Then he paused and went quick- ly on with his work as though he had been betrayed into saying too much. Sarah passed on into the house and into her sister’s room. It did not take her long to learn that Maria was in a fine fit of sulks. Why, Maria,” said Sarah, sink- ing comfortably into a chair which was drawn close to the bed, ‘“how do you find yourself?” 3 “I don’t find myself,” snapped Maria. ‘Nelther would you, Sarah, if you had to lay hera and see things go to rack and ruin—and run wild—some of them, as I shall have to do. And just when I thought I had things going my way safe, to have this happen, is more than I can or will endure. Now, don’t come near me with your everlasting smile and nonsense about making the best of things. I won't hear it. If I could only have kept on my feet for two weeks longer!” And two great tears stole down her flushed cheeks. So much did she look like the naughty little Maria of days gone by, that Sarah was touched, even while she formed a determination to find what it was all about. Evidently Maria had planned something, which up to this point, she had managed to suit herself. No meddler was Sarah, but if Maria was interfering with Reuben and some love afair, she must investigate.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1926. !uparuted Sarah and her boyish lover 50 years ago? Sarah had not found it out until years after Johnny Hayes had married “Fluft” Ross and gone to South America. But it was the only bit of romance she had ever had jor wanted, and the memory of it, had made her heart very tender to young folks and their lovi airs. The next afternoon, when she had made her sister comfortable for a quiet nap, Sarah put on her hat and gingerly intrusted herself to the mercies of the swing bridge. Evident- ly Letty Marsh had watched her ap- proach, for she met Sarah at the ' door and invited her into the school- house. “I've one more class,” she told Sarah as she found a seat for her inear her desk. “It won't take long.” | When the class had finished the {lesson, Letty dismissed the school. | The children hurried forth with a chorus of good-bys, to which Letty responded with nods and smiles. “I do hate to leave here” said the slim, pretty girl as she hurried about putting the room to rights. “Why, are you going, too?” Sarah ! was surprised. This is my last week. I've taught here six years; I am going West with another girl, who is a teacher like myself. I might as well; I have no folks, or—or anybody who will miss me here,” she added soberly. It all came to Sarah in a flash. That was what Maria meant, when she said all would have been well, it she could only have held out for two weeks longer. She must do some- thing quickly. This girl's heart was not going to be wrenched, the way hers had been by Maria. “You are wrong there, my dear.” Sarah was speaking to the back of Letty's head. “I know where there's some one thinks his eyes of you. And you will never find a truer heart than Reuben Boyd's, though you look thet world over.” Then, after a moment, in which she sat lost in thought, Sarah said: “I shall send Reuben to Arkville after supper to get my trunk and I am going to send him over to your boarding place, and I want you to go with him. Don’'t make a mistake and say no, Letty. As far as his mother is concerned, leave her to me. She will be tickled pink—when I get through with ,”" she said mentally. Then, aloud: “With you for a daugh- ter-inlaw. Maria means well, only she likes her vn like the rest of us.” Thus saying, she arose and wended her way back across the foot bridge to the farmhouse, content with all the world. The End.

Beauty specialists will tell you that an arti- ficial scent is irritating to the skin, so they do not use scented soaps. Chic women of course know that a soap-scent confuses the fragrance of the perfume they choose for their toilette. And that is not all! Often an artificial scent is used to “cover up” the odor of ingredicnts. This is a more serious matter. But think a moment; can you imagine any other rational purpose in scenting a toilet soap? Unscented! Dofia Castile of course is un- scented. It has no need of an artificial scent, fragrant as it is with the warm exquisife odor that pure olive oil gives it—an odor that rinses off completely, however, leaving no trace on the skin.

ROME, November 11.—Mussolin{ has worked out a system of glving the thousands of persons who_visit him at his office in the Chigl Palace ex- actly the type of first impression he wants them to have. The premler’s office is a vast, lofty- ceilinged room, with the desk at the far corner diagonally opposite the en- trance from which one must walk 20 or 30 seconds to reach it. If Mussolini wants to create a warm impression he walks almost to the door and proffers his hands in cordfal greeting. If he wants to be particularly ferocious he remains be- hind his desk, almost unseen, writing, and ghen raises his huge. glaring eyes at the necessarily intimidated caller. Between the two types of recep- tions there is a serles of variations, with the premler's facial expression playing the major role. e e A sensible woman seldom wastes her time on a handsome man.

DAYTON, Ohio, November 11.—When an airplane cracks-up, the ambu- lances and fleld officials dash to the scene.
