De Saint-Amand says that Napoleon Bonaparte in Egypt was for Parisians an epic hero, for whom the Pyramids became the pedestal of glory, and the 40 centuries of their history the pro- logue of his career. ‘The conqueror, however, reckoned not ©of what Parisians thought of him. The question that burned his soul was whether he was the hero of his wife, | Josephine. In Egypt, as in Italy, his| heart was seared by jealousy. He doubted the feelings of the former Mme. de Beauharneis for him and questioned her fidelity. He imagined her surrounded at the Luxembourg by youthful, handsome adorers, whose tributes to her blonde beauty would win her smiles and com- plaisance, Before the fountains of Messudiah, near El-Arish, in Syria, his trusted ffl!fi‘ and friend, Junot, chose per- idiously to accuse Josephine of in- fidelities. They were walking alone. Napoleon turned pale and his eyes be- came wild, darting fire. Soon he left Junot and went up to Count Bour- rienne, his secretary, also his confidant, later to be his biographer. “You sre not devoted to me” he exclaimed roughly. “Women! Josephine! —If you were devoted to me, you would have told me what I have just learned from Junot. He is a true friend. Josephine!—And I'm 600 leagues away! You ought to have told me. Josephine! —To decelve me in that way. She!— Confound them! I will wipe out the ‘whole brood of coxcombs and popin- Jeys!—As for her, divorce, a public divorce, a full exposure!™ Bourrienne ke calming words. “It is decidedly ungenerous of Junot thus to attack a woman who is absent snd cannot defend herself.,” he said. “He does not prove his devotion by adding to your worries.” He went on, *“You must remember your own glory.” “My glory” exclaimed Napoleon. “I don't know what I wouldn't give to know that what Junot has told me is not true, so much do I love that woman! If Josephine is guilty, a di- ‘vorce must separate us forever. I will npot be the laughing stock of all the ddlers of Paris.” Bourrienne counseled him to do noth- ing for the graenn But Napoleon was 80 wild lousy that he had son, Eugene de Beauharnais, who had secompanied him.

From the tip of his tail to the tip of nose Imp was black. He couldn't have ‘Been blacker. Now. this meant that Imp had to be smart. Had he been otherwise, he would not have lived long. You see, the rules of life for a chipmunl with a striped coat would not always be the right rules for oue with a black coat. There were times and places where, if his father, Striped Chipmunk, sat perfectly still, there would be little of his being seen. That was because his striped coat wculd look so Jike the surroundings that only the very keenest eyes would ever notice it. But under the same conditions Impy would be noticed right away. That black coat wouldn't be at all like the surroundings. It would stand right out. On the other hand, there were times and uncu where Striped Chipmunk would seen and Impy would not. So Impy had to learn these differences. Yes, sir; Impy had to learn these differences. He had to learn a whole set of rules just for himself. No one could 'h them to him except experience. So if Impy hadn't been smart, he wouldn't have lived very long. Impy soon found that he had to watch out most uurgxly when he was out in full sun. 0 matter what his sur- dings were in the full sun he could easily be seen. However, where there was 8 deep, dark chadow he was com- paratively safe. That was because the shadow was black and he was black. 8o Impy took to looking for shadows.

Seventeen distinguished women — called together by a prominent manufacturer—to witness a pre-showing of a commercial product, Ritz Hotel Scene of Meeting The meeting was called to order by Mrs. {lmu J.

Tests Tell Dramatic Story First chemists pointed out how modern, hasty washbowl laundering of silks de- mands an utterly different kind of soap than chips or flakes. How they set out to make a soap that would dissolve instantly ».. rinse away 100% and cleanse in water cool enough to be safe for silks. How they finally solved this problem by making a soap of olive and palm oils. . . in the form of tiny, hollow, instant-dissolving “beads.” Then the tests of the new soap began. Home economics experts, stop-watches in hand, timed dissolving, eleansing and rins- ing speed of this new wizard among soaps.

The chief offender is lip biting which is usually accompanted by the disagreeable habit of moistening the lips with the tip of the tongue from time to time. The biting makes the skin rough and sometimes swollen. Mouth breathing also affects the beauty of the lips as it tends to make them look loose and shapeless. But the principal thing that distin- guishes attractive mouths from ugly ones is expression The way that one holds the lips habitually reveals the sort of disposition one has. Lips that are always ready to break into a friendly smile have & charm that is denied to those that are less mobile, even though the latter may be more gracefully formed.
