i e By Adeke Garrioss Flabbergasted When Her Flance, Tells Her He' It the library, with the door cles- ed behind us, Prince Georges drew out chairs and seated Mary and my- self with a courtesy that had in it a new touch of formality. Mary's laughing fitppancy had disconcerted him, but he stitl clung to the rem- nants of his determination to make the interview one of dignity. He did not take a seat himself, but standing a few feet from ° us, addressed me directly. “Dear Mrs. Graham,” he said. “T have the honor to ask you for the hand of your niece in marriage.” It was beautifully done, and for an instant I felt the mystic sway of the centuries of formality which were his background. Then Mary broke the spell with a glecful giggle. “Say Yes, Auntic Madge.” “Do you fecl better now, Georg: that you've got that off your chest she asked. *‘For the.love of Lul Auntie Madge, tell him yes: as 56 as you cam and put him out of his misery."” necded a smacking. There was no doubt about it and I turned a coldly reproachful face upon her. “What makes you think thit I shall say 'ves Mary?" I asked. But Mary was not to be cowed. “Because youre the best scout any poor dunb girl ever had fof an aunt” Zme returned. - “Anyway. with a wide smile at both of us, “it doesn't make any difference any- way. It won’t be long now until I'm cighteen, then I don’t have to ask anybedy. But you know, ..untie Madge, 1 wouldn't do anything yon didn’t want me to. So say ‘yes, that's a darling.” She was on the arm of my chair, rubbing her cheek against 1 But though I returncd the cares I withheld the syllable for which she asked. “I must know what this mean I said to Prince Georges. “Do you mean that you wish a speedy mar- riage? To that we could not con- &ent. An engagement—that 14 - ferent.” “I'll tell the world it is” Mary interrupted. “If George has an idea of tying me up before five or ten yéarg—r: “Five or -ten years!” K her-fiancy echoed in horror, “Why dearest!” “I like ‘sweetheart’ better,” Mary said dimpling. “But téll us, just what your idea of a ‘long cngage- ment'—that's what you talked about—happens to be." Prince Georges turned fo . me, visibly embarrassed. “It s difficult to say,” he stam- Danny’s Feclings Are Hust By Thornton W.

It was fun to burrow around underneath the hay. It was fun to make little passages in the hay itself. Danny was as-fat as ever, for living was good. Nanny was fat, too. It mattered nothing how Rough Brother North Wind might howl and blow. 1t mattered nothing how Jack Frost pinched. & under there neither Rough Blother North Wind nor Jack Frost colld get. Nanny had made a very snug, cozy little home. It was nicely hid- den, too. It you had pceked under the haystack you wouldn't have dis- covered it right away. Only she and Danny knew of it. Nanny spent con. siderable time there—much more than Danny did. But when Danny chose to come home he was always welcome, if Nanny happened to be. there, and usually she was there, And then there came the day when Danny's feclings were hurt. 1t came ahout in this way. Danny had been away from home a little longer than usual. When he had left home Nanny had_ not scemed quite herself. She had been a little bit grumpy. Anyway, this is the way it had seemed to Danny. At firs Danny had thought it was because Nanny didn't want him to leave her. Then he decided that it wasn't this at all. In fact, Nanny acted as if she would be glad to see the last of him. So Danny was himself a lit- tle out of sorts when they parted, But by the time he returned he had forgotten all about it. He ha? had & good time and he was in fine “All T want now is a good said Danny. I'm glad I've got such a nice home to go to.” He reached the snug little home and poked his nose in at the door- way. Then he pulled it out again in @ harry. Nanny was in a terrible tomper. Anyway, she had ordered him out. Not only that, but she had ordered him to stay out. And at the same time she had shown her tecth in a way that Danny didn't like at Ul They were sharp teeth. They were the kind of hurt. Danny had no desire to have Nanny try them on him. Danny sat down a short distance away to think it over. His feelings were hurt: he didn’t understand it at all. “T don't sce what is the mar- ter with Nanny,” said he. “No, 1 don't sce what is the n Nanny. Why should she t like this. 1t's my home as hers. Wasn't T the of the old haystack? I her the way 1o get here any right at all fo treat me Perhaps she thought it TN try again” S0 Danny venturcd to timidly ap proach the doorway in.

FLAPPER FANNY SAYS: Nowadays it's hard to find any old port in a storm ccllar., - v 4 BY ROSETTE Paris, Feb, 14 — Nobody knewa, naturally, what surprises the cou- turiers are preparing behind closely guarded doors for their spring oel- What we are told, theugh, is that the coming ssason iy to be fertile in new ideas, in mew lines even, and we are teld te expect vomething entirely different to any- thing yet seen. Mow true this information s it is difficult to gauge but it is evi. dent efferts are being stimulated in every peesible direction te preveat fashiens becoming static. n Quest of “the Diffevont” Mag-Helly, a young "but already well-known couturier, started the ball rolling lately by erganising, at considerably expense, a ocempetition which was called “The Line of To- morrew.” The idea of this competi- tion was conceived by Madame alag- Helly as a reaction to the danger of apathy which, according to her, menaces the whole world of Haute Couture, Undoubtedly fashiens evolve in compliance with the needs of modern life but fashicn creators, once they have found a mew idea, are perhaps too content to sit back and create interminable medel the same theme. This must be avoided at all costs if Paris is to re- tain her supremacy as a fashion creator but also if she is to retain one of France's most vital industries. This competition aroused & con- siderable amount of interest, judg- ing by the number of entries, which totalled 780, as well as the amount of criticism, beth favorable and ad- verse, which it has caused. “Any creator or designer will ad- mit, if he is sufficiently frank, (hat many of his inspirations are prompt- ed by women wF~ visit his salons or even by & chance meeting in the street of & woman who'looks differ- ent,” declares Madame Mag-Helly. “There are ghy number of idcas to bo gathered from the multitude of Parisiennes you are liable to meet every day, from the little midinette to the luxuriously dressed woman. There are some women who are the best living source of inspiration to the couturier who dresses them, and there are women even who follow their own ideas as to what they should wear. Given a woman of taste, you will find that she is the one who will stand out in any bril- liant assembly.” * Where Inspieation Lics It would seem therefore, that fashions are often inspired in quite a large measurc by the very women they are created for, women who are in no way connected with the actual world of fashion. The design that won the first prize of the “Linc of Tomorrow™ compe- tition will be a feature of Mag-Hal- ly's spring collection. It is said that the new line will be in harmony with those modern forms of archi- lecture and interior decoration. Geo- metrical designs, fincrustations and altogether new color values will be seen and no such an anachronism as & ‘robe’ de style” in a modern in. terior will be allowed. YOUR HEALTH By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygela, the Health Magasine The human being is a credulous animal and womgn are cven more credulous than men. Superstitions regarding health have been prev leht since the beginning of time and strange follles for the control of discase are constantly working, like a .dangerous ferment, to disrupt man’s intelligence. Hence hygienists work energetically to overcome the wild accusations made by supersti- tious people and the clauims of those who profit commercially by oppes. ing sclentific medicine, The physical culfure movement has meaot much for the advance- ment of mankind so long as it has been kept within rational bounds. Its tendency has been, however, to adopt all-or-nothing policies regard- ing breathing, diet, starvation and outdoor exercise which are likely to do us much harm as good. oderation ‘The most ancient and established maxim in the ficld of hygicne is moderation in all things. It is well known -tsat any force which is po- tent for good may also be potent for harm. Among the peculiar follies of the physical culture movement none s 80 preposterous as the no- tion that breathing of one type or another s significant in the causing of disease or in the cure of various complaints. Breathing may be to # large extent controlled, but it is also to a considerable extent automatic. All systems of breathing, such as abdominal breathing, rhythmical, | deep breathing and other schemcs, aro irrational. Nobody ought to live for his lungs alone. » The cold bath fanatic is a menace to his amociates, because he is not satisfied to indulge himself in his fad, but endeavors, as do all fad- dists, to convince his friends. Cold baths taken in the morning ; stimulate the norve emdings in the skin and drive the blood from the surface, to which it returns with a rush when the person comes out of the buth and rubs himselt briskly with a towel. This is pleasant and invigorating, but it throws a coneld- erable burden on the organs of a. Jjustment and may be harmful to those whoee organs do not respond readily. Exercise Exercise is useful for stimulating the reactions of the body systems. But exercise does not mean mara- thon races-or hundred-mile walks! The road to health does not lie in the exceptional performance, but in well conducted and suitably regu- lated physical activities, The fanatics who subsist largely on hay. grain and oats are not all cither thoroughbreds or Jackasses. The yegetarians, the whole-wheat fanaties, the fresh fruit followers, the dangerous combination theorists and other food faddists do more harm than good. The rational view is that all the things eaten by man are of value taken in proper amounts at proper times, Starvation cultists do as much harm as any others The new sithonette with the curved line #h the back is succeesful schieved in the black satin dinner frocks on princess lines, with molded bodice and circular skirt, shown at the left, Umes mark the mkl-seasom creation scen at the right, of off- mousseline de sole with an extra full skirt and form-fitting bodice, Helps to Capture Her Kidnaper : _—_———————ae Pretty Dolly pointment with him. pointment with-him.
