The Way Madge Managed to Mask Her Nervous Fears With a shrill of protesting brakes the gray limousine came to a stop a | yard or two past me, for its speed in pursuing my small car had been such that stopping its momentum was no easy matter, | The big man came out on the run-| ning board, as the chauffeur put hfs engine in reverse, and backed the big car close to mine, I watehing them with the feelings of a trapped animal, 1 did not fear immediate]| death, unless the hatred of Grace | Draper should hreak through her| poise. 1 was sure her heauty of face | and ugliness of soul was hidden be- neath the fashionable hmak-veil of| the woman I had seen in the lim- susine, But T counld'not help remem- | bering Lillian's sinster suggestion that| the gang which included Smith would not balk at a torture to find the pa- per containing the secret formula my father had invented, and I' am not| ashamed to confess that I had the| sensation of being closely wrapped in ice. | But there only one thing left to me—to play the game, 1 would let them see no faltering, T grimly de- cided, until it was no longer possible for me t6 stand firm—1I had no illu- sions as to my behavior under physi- cal pain, for T am an arrant coward in a dentist's chair.

It behooved me to keep every sense alert, and let no word or action of the companions forced on me goad me into forgetting my watch of the road. “Get in Here.” 1 folded my hands on the wheel, and looked with cool inquiry at the big man, who, with red, angry face, jumped to my running board when the car had stopped, and seized my army roughly. “Get in here,” he savagely. “Fou won't yell, if you know what's good for you.” | “T haven't the slightest intention of | velling,” 1 said, “and 1 shall be charmed to go with you.

The big man and the chauffeur packed my luggage into the limousin and then the big man, as if by pre- arrangement, took his seat behind.the wheel of the limousine, while the chauffeur climbed into the seat I had just vacated. “The first opening vou can see that you can drive her into the wood, do it,” directed the big man. “Don’t be| afraid of smashing the cursed thing-—- JOY OF HEALTH WOMAN'S RIGHT Mrs. Evans Freed from Female Weakness by Lydia E.

Grandma Goose called across the pend to General Gander and asked him what was the matter, The poor chap could only move a wing feebly, in reply. Grandma Goose was a very careful body. She wouldn't enter the water to swim over to the General, nor would she let any of the flock go in the water either. “We'll walk around on the bank,” she declared. “And we'll keep an eye out for danger.

SHAPLEIGH Of Columbia University To drink orange juice, or eat half a grapefruit is almost a habit with many people today. The baby must have orange juice, and the tired busi- ness man drinks it at soda fountaine, All because it helps to cleanse the system, regulates the bowels, contains the needed vitamines, and tastes good. Grapefruit has not been used by the people of this country for so many years. Twenty-five years ago only occasionally was it found in the mar- kets of the east and north, and it was called Shaddock. In the West Indies and far south, the name Shaddock was used in the early part of ' the cighteenth eentury. Captain Shad- dock brought the fruit to America. Grapefruit contains quinine, and is a tonic. Both oranges and grapefruit’ are perhaps best eaten with sugar or salt, as one's taste dictates, but there are also many pleasing ways of serving which offer a variety. Let us con- sider these various uses in a menu, For breakfast, cut the fruit in halves, and with a sharp knife loosen the pulp around the skin. Remove the pulp in center ,and the seeds. Serve with sugar or honey in the center, or plain, leaving the additions to the taste of the eater. Orange Juice served very cold in a small thin glass is quite sufficient to start the breakfast in the right way. For luncheon, serve the fruit, cut in halves, garnished with cherries o: white grapes, or with a spoonful of loganberry juice in the center. Or remove the sections of fruit, leaving no skin on them, and place in pretty glasses. Sprinkle with sugar, and if possible fresh mint leaves, There is no hetter salad than one made with whole sections of grape- fruit or orange on crisp lettuce or / I IVATE, .

The deep collar which falls from the top of a high collar to below the shoulders is made of sheer organdle, — ———— wateroress, With this the best dress- ing is one made of oll, grapefruit Jjuice, salt, paprika and a little sugar, Of course, the fruit may be combined with other fruits and served with mayonnaise, Gossip’s Corner Clean Piano Keys Plano keys may be kept beautifully white by bathing them with a soft cloth dipped in alcohol, and wiping them dry with a clean cloth, Don't let the aleohol come in contact with the wood or it will remove varnish, In the Sick Room, To get rid of the ticking af a watch in a sick room turn a tumbler over the watch, Prevents Slipping To prevent a plafe trom slipping when you set it on a cake of ice in the rafrigerator place an ordinary truit jar under the plate. Dust Prevention, When the furnace is being shaken cover the registers with damp cloths. This will keep the dust from flying all over the room and from disfiguring the wall paper, Perfume Lamps No boudoir is complete these days without its perfume byrner, a com- bination of electric lamp and incense burner. They come in the most fas- cinating shapes and colors and "a variety of sizes. With Lace Frills . A most attractive gown is af cara- mel-colored charmeuse, with a front skirt drapery, and wide frills of cream-coblored lace about the neck and falling from the long, tight sleeves. Bolero Fashionable The bolero grows in favor as the season advances, and is having a strong influence on the two-piece suit. I'requently it is seen to best advantage with one of the new tiered skirts. Fancy Parasol. A lovely new parasol for spring is of pink satin, and all the framework of the sunshade is covered with pi- coted ribbon of a deeper rose. The face that wouldn’'t be flattered by such a background is an ungrateful one. Waistlines, By this time, the waistline has defi- nitely come up in the world and is getting perilously near to normal again, - Some designers are preparing to launch the short, empire lin® once more. f VOICES IN THE AIR Tuesday, March 20, 1923, (Westinghouse—East Pittsburgh). 6 p. m.—Organ recital from the Cameo Motion Picture theater.

Charlle is first seen as an escaped convict wearing the clothes of & person. A small town is awaiting the appearante of their new parson and when Charlle enters he is greeted as the welcome one. From then on there is laugh after laugh, the kind which Charlie aloné is capable of pro- ducing. The episode of the plum pudding is-one of the funniest bits yet seen in comedies. As an added photoplay feature Anita Stewart is offered in “The Question of Honor," a drama of the new west. The Keith vaudevilie bill is a wonder and s headed by Valentino's orchestra with Mary I.ee and Fred Kelly in songs and dances. The orchestra is the best that has been heard here in vaudeville and received a large round of applause yesterday for their fine playing. lLeahy Bros. opening the bill have an excellent comedy gym- nastic act that found favor; Hoier and Ayloff present a very fine singing and talking skit that was well re. ceived; and “The Man Off the Ice Wagon,” encored twices with his ex- cellent singing. Arrangements have been made with the program enabling the children to be able to see the Chaplin comedy after school hours.
