Love’s Awakening 'l\ol!urtShq WWflu By Adele Garrison Madge Salves Ner Wownded Pride and Preens Her m for the Dicky-bird. “A distinct tribute to me!" I re- peated wenderingly as Lillian out- lined her theory concerning Dick's gitt of the imitation jewels to Edith Fairfax and his bizarre distribution of similar gifts to all the feminine residents of the farmhouse. ‘Absolutely,” she aftirmed stout- ly. “He enjoys making you jealous, but he'd be frantic it you took that scene at the studio in the way Ede was perfectly willing you should in- terpret it. So he did the only thing possible, and fixed up the story he told just now. He may have meant to give the things for birthday pr ents at that, but never in the world | aid he intend making a wholesale | disribution tonight. You've got to | slip it te him at that. The kid's| clever. He had only a minute or two to plan that stunt and put it in op- cration. And he sure made it click | smoothly.” She had banished at my doubts, cased every hurt save one. My spir- its would have been soaring as high as heaven except for that one stab- bing pain, “It only.” I said and stopped, | ashamed to voice my grievance. | Lillian shot a keen look at me. “It only he hadn’t picked out the jade for you,” she said, “when that real pice means so much to you. | My dear girl, don’t you realize that | Dicky probably had no choice in the | matter, He grabbed up enough pieces | to go around, and when he went to his room he had the job of sorting‘ them out. To his mind, giving any- | body else the jade would have been unthinkable. That is your stone to, him. So what else was there for the | poor lad to do? Nay, nay, little one, | the good Lord knows I've often had | to disapprove ' of the Dicky-bird's | cavortings, but this tige, he wa sa zood scout, also a darned adroit one. You ought not to have even a tiny | grouch against him.” T looked at her steadily. “I haven't trul “thanks to you. Do you know how wonder- 1ul you've been to me tonight " 8he clapped her hand on my shoulder with rough tenderness, as she rose from the chair. “TI'm glad you think 50" she said | fiippantly. “T'll chalk it down as my | one good deed today. And now I'm | really going to pound my pillow. I'd udvise you to spar a few rounds with yours,” i “I'm going to to,” T assured her ! but T did not keep my word. For several long minutes after she had left me, T sat gazing inte space, go- ing over the episode which had a0 | {ornaments. T arranged troubled me and applying to it the gauge which Lillian had given me. . 1 emerged from the vigil with tw resolves. One concerned Edith Fair- fax. That hostile, deflant look 1 had seen in her cyes as they met mine in the mirror had given to me the impression which Lillian’s words had strengthened lnto conviction. She | was my enemy, and she had lost the old high sportsmanship which had | been hers even upon the day when |she faced me with her declaration of love for Dicky. ‘ Of course I knew that there was {no possibility in Ediths caso of the |insane enmity with which Grace | Draper had followed my life untiil | her own suicide after her last and for a time most successful attempt against my happiness. Edith would never overstep the laws either of |the country or of common decency, !but she would seize every possible chance of separating Dicky and me. 1 was glad indeed that she had | chosen to refuse the invitation to the farmhouse. That problem—of invit- ing into my home the woman whe was trying to wreck my marital hap- piness—would not come to me again until the Spring, for I knew that any cssociation of mine with Edith dur- ing the Winter could be put upon an impersonal basis with Lillian d. Never again, T told myself would T give her the friendly com- radeship which my pity for her hope- less affection for Dicky and my remembrance of her aid in rescuing Junior from Grace Draper had al- ways impelled me to offer her. In that defiant glance in the mirror, she had laid down the gage of battle, and 1 meant to take it up silently, but none the less surely. My other resolve was a softer one, Lillian had pleaded for Dicky more effectively than she knew. My heart was filled with an amused ten- |derness for my Peter Pan who had {offcred so clever yet so clumsy an |alibi for the scene T had witnessed in the studlo. Tastily T went to my closet and put on a little dinner dress which T knew would set off the imitation jade my coiffure that the earrings would be effec- tive, and clasped the pendant around my neck. Then T went to the room where T could hear Dicky telling stories to Junior and knocked lightly. “I thought perhaps Santa Claus would like to see the way his gift |looks” T said with a smile at my small son when both he and Dicky had called “Come in.” (Continued Tomorrow.)

By C. D. Batchelor MLADYSTAHEE&HECED IN HER CHOICE OF COLORS Seasons Decree Changes In Shades. BY JEAN PATOU Paris, Jan. 31.—The point where- in a woman’s taste is reflected more than anywhere else is In her choice ot colors. Although the question of color- ings has always been an important one, it is assuredly a fact that cou- turiers now devote a great deal of time and thought on the choice of colors when establishing & new cellection. The Color’s the Thing ‘Women have had to be educat- of to this new ides eof coloring and have made great strides 1in this direction. We are now spared the sight of dresses that were ver- itab color catastrophes, the rule rather than the exception a fow years ago. Now when look- ing over a collection and in the choice of new dresses I find wo- men paying more and more atten. tion to color. They realize the very important part it plays in the clothes they wear. In the dressmaking world the fact that two colors that blend well enhance the value of an otherwise perfectly simple dress is & well-known one.. It is also an understood thing that the best way of setting - off any one shade alds in the choice of that placed next to it. When a really suc- ceasful as well as new color com- bination is found the artist in the couturier feels as much pleasure in the result the woman who wears the gown. Colors Watch Seasons Facts such as these may be known to those people who are gifted with a “color sense,” but even they perhaps have not real- ized that a couturier varies his color combinations with the sea- sons. Winter calls for sober col- orings and during the dark months bright shades are all but barred. This is only natural as gay colors nced sunshine to show up their vividness. Summer gen- erally brings dashing, bold colors and color combinations are always successful at that time. So far us color opposition gocs, black combined with white is the most typical example of the popu- larity of this theme. It is a theme, though, that has been distinctly overdone. In my opinion it has now reached the end of its long- lived reign. Combinations Are Many There are other colors that can be just as effective for summer wear. The contrast may be less sharply defined as in black and white, but the efiect is pleasing and perhaps smarter. Place a grege blouse on a black skirt, for example, The result is newer, less banal than a black skirt and white hlouse, yet as fresh and summery. In the same order of ideas, if you combine a certain shade of green- ish yellow with dark green or a light and dark shade of green, you will get something original and novel. Red and bright blue used with white always looks well and are a good combinativy for summer wear. Pink on wmack 18 usually reserved for the winter months and is an excellent scheme for winter sports colthes. I think that altogether too much play has been given to what we call “camieu” shades or mono- chromes. On the other hand, if you use several shades of one basic color, it is possible to achieve colorings that are differ- ent whilst still belonging to the same “family.” The difficulty there, however, is to avoid setting two shades alongside each other that kill all color in both instead of enhancing it. Menus for the Family secondary to the absence of suffi- cient gpantity of any one of them, is the result of a general defl ney of good health rather than of speci- fic action on the teeth. Many experiments have also bean done recently having to do with the excessive amount of acid® or alkali in the food taken into the body. A great deal needs to be known as to the direct relationship between the amounts of acid and the alkalis in the bod In general, it is the present opin- fon that an excess of acid is bad for the system under most conditions. There is not as yet availuble suf- ficlent scientific evidence to warrant the conclusion that a moderate vari- ation from the normal of either acld or alkali is scriously detrimental to the teeth. Q.—How should warts be treated? A.—Warts may be removed in a variety of ways, including the use of the electr current, freezing with carbonic acid snow, by the use of the X-ray, and sometimes by use of acids. The remedy to be used in any case depends on the conditions present in that case.
