Love’s Awakening Suldhlt Wo-n By Adele Gurrison Auna Schmidt in the Act of Grieving Over Princess Otina'’s Botrothal The room which I entered after directing Mrs, Ticer to keep every- one away was 80 dimly lighted that at first I could not distinguish the objects in it. All the curtains had been closely drawn, as if the occu- pant could not bear the light. But 1 had come in noiselessly, and the low sobbing to which I had listened in the next room went on With no interruption. Patently the grieving occupant of the room thought her- self alone. I stood motionless just inside the door while I accustomed my eyes to the dim light. Presently in a high- backed chair directly across from me I saw Anna Schmidt with her hands covering her face, her thin body swaying with sobs she was try- ing to keep unheard. Even in her grief the strict discipline of her class and life held her upright. She was noi slumped against the chair in the posture which most women would have assumed but sat stiffly erect. With the fear that I would startl: her strong up me, I slipped back behind the partly opened door, and | rapped upon its panels. 1 heard a sharply caught breath, and armed with the knowledge that she would not be unduly startled by the intru- sion, T pushed open the door and crossed swittly to her side. T did not intend to give her a chance to refuse me entrance. Her hands were still hefore her face, and from behind them came a | hoarsely croaked command. “Go avay, Mees Ticer." A Good Guess With the determination to risk | everything on a bold stroke, 1 put my hands upon the quivering and wrinkled ones covering her face, and took them down quickly. Bloodshot, startled eyes, heavy with tears and set in the agonized twisted mask of a face stared up at me, and I spoke in quick reassurance. “Listen to me,” I said slowly but with emphasis. “Your mistress, Her Royal Highness, the Princess Olina. of Transvania”"—I wondcred wheth- er T were handling the titles cor- rectly—*will not marry the young| man you fear. I promise you that. I| shall sce to it that she does not.” 1 thrust from me the disquieting thought that I was promising some- | thing which 1 mignt not be able to | perform. and watched the expression ious hope albeit so faint that it was plain she was beset by grave doubts of me. “Who—are—you?"” she whispered, and I did not wonder that she did not .recognize me. I had seen her but two or three timea during Prin- cess Olina’s tenancy of The Larches, and on one ot those occasions sl had been so ill as to be oblivious of everything save the presence of the young mistress she adored. “I am Mrs. Graham,” I answered quickly, “your neighbor. The prin- cess is now in n:y hou I nave come to tell you that I will take care of her until 1 can send her safely to you or to her mother, Queen Olga.” Anna Is Comforted Purpesely I spoke my words slow- ly as if to a child, and the convul- sive sobbing lightened, then ceased. I loosened her hands and put one of my handkercheifs into them. She wiped the tears from her cheeks and leaned cagerly toward me. You — know — then—that—she She checked herself and looked at me, suddenly terrified. “l know everythin emphatically, “and Prince Georges—' “Ach! you know that, too,” she exclaimed, and then broke into a torrent of words in her own tongue. I waited until she realized that I did not understand a word of her ha- rangue and then lifted my hand. “Please,” 1 said. “Tell me slowly in English, if you can.” She looked at me steadily for a sccond or two, then spoke halt- ingly. “They must marry. Princess Olina and Prince Georges. They love each other once in Transvania. She be g0od queen. She must not send him away. She must not marry this — this— She broke again into words of her own tongue which I guessed were anything but complimentary to Noel, d herself, and looked at me I told her I know that No-el—your brother?"” she No, no,” I assured her. nothing to me. boy.” A sudden whimsical thought struck me. 1 took her hand in mine with a gesture that was a bit melo- dramatic. “Will you promise to keep a se- cret if 1 tell you something 1 think will please you?" I asked. (Continued Monday) “He Is But he is a good in the cyes of the woman opposite me change from despair to tremu- BEAUTY ANSWERS PETER'S QUESTIONS ! | By Thornton W.

A LITTLE TACT By Alice Judson Peale With children as with adults, a little tact goes a long way in smoothing the rough places. With some parents, orders are orders and the child is expected to go all the way to meet them. He must drop whatever he is doing whenever and because they command. Some children adjust themselves to this arbitrary interruption of their occupations more readily than others. The child who gives the greater concentration to his play. who has the power to become wholly absorbed in what he is doing, is th2 one who puts up a strenuous fight. Perhaps one-half the battle in the gttainment of obedience is in making it easy and attractive. When, for in. stance, it 18 time to wash his hands for lunch, instead of prying the child away from his play by pitting our own will against his, we can adopt less high handed method Instead of saying, “Put away your toys, it's time for lunch.” we can . “Let's run your train into the station now so that it can mkx on )mmfll(rrn until you come ba; from lunch;” or, “Let's save yoi house over hcre where no one will step on it while you are having your lunch.” The child recognizes of these remarks as an accession to his wishes and an appreciation of his point of view. He responds ac- cordingly. Another type of justifiable diplo- macy is to say, “It's time to wash your hands for lunch. Do you want to take dolly along or shall we leave her here?” or “Shall we walk to the bath room or shall we hop all the way The child feels that he is asked to choos: what he prefers to do, and | there is no suggestion of the poasi- bility of refreal. FLAPPER FANNY SAYS | It she has a formal ! formal { carnation, the latter being newer. BY CURTIS WOOD New York, May 4.—June brides admitledly are the cynosure of all eyes. But the June bridegroom rarely is anything but background at his own wedding. ¥ Even at that, it he is meticu- lously turned out, with a gay gar- denia or carnation in his button- hole, hig head well up, eyes shin- ing and chest out, he may succeed in getting a couple of guests to ex- claim, “Here comes the bride- groom However, whether ‘noticed or not. a bridegroom gets some consolation out of the fact that he really is a necessary adjunct to this ceremony and should dress the part. He can have pride in being faultlessly at- tired, thus subtly complimenting the bride and being the perfect foil to ker ravishing silkén beauty. All Depends on Wodding The bride’s cholce of wedding de- tcrmines her bridegroom's attire. daytime wed- ding—-white satin gown, train, veit, church or formal garden cerenony, the groom wears the traditional formal day turnout. This consists of the convention- a) eutaway coat in black or Ox- ford grey cheviot, with or without edges bound in braid. His trous- ers may be striped grey, a fine black and pale grey, or even a nov- elty fire black and white checked cassimere which looks grey from a distance. " If he wishes he may wear 8 fancy, light-colored vest and spats to match, tan, beige or grey, either in worsted or lin:n. Gloves should tone in with the vest. A winged collar takes an Ascot tie in striped or fig- ured black and silver or black and white. A turn-down collar takes a fancy four-in-hand. His shirt may be finely striped or plain white. He shoull have an immaculate white linen handkerchief in his pocket, wear tipped patent leather shoes and a top hat. A Note on Ushers Ushers 1nd men guests should be dressed like the bridegroom though of course he may put a little more into accessories. For formal evening weddings, the bridegroom and all ushers and men guests wear tradi- tional full evening dress, either in black or midnight blue. Top hats and white kid gloves are right. For informal daytime weddings, there is a double choice for the bridegroom. He may wear the formal attire, with a short black jacket instead of the cutaway. Or he may wear white flannel trousers topped by a dark coat of navy blue or oxford-grey, preferably double breasted. Usually when weddings are to be simple, the bride’s gown is not the conventional satin, but organdie, lace or some other less formal at- tire. The whole wedding is informal before the groom dares this attire. That Flowery Idea Both the bridegroom and best man should wear the same type of trousers and coats. As in the more wedding the bridegroom should be debonair and wear a boutonniere of either gardenia .or With this informal attire, color- ed shirts are out of place and 50 | the winger cotlirs. A bridegroom the temper should wear a fine white shirt, with a low, turndown stiff collar and a four-in-hand tie of stripes to match his coat. White shoes or brown and white, black and white or even navy blue and white are okay. There's Some Variety The white trousers that this June's informal bridegroom may wear favor the off-white shades. Often parchment flannels have a very fine pinstripe of the color oi the man's coat. Some may even dare brown coats and cream trou- sers, finely striped in a suggestion of brown. But, unless the bride's party is featuring beiges and browns, a man better stick to blue or black. Two things a bridegroom should remember. He should dress up to the bride's scheme of things, never letting her down by being too in- formally attired. Second, he should be consistent n his whole attire. Shoes, hat, gloves, shirt, collar, trou- sers, coat and waistcoat should be of the same degree of informality or formality, d>pending on what the bride has decided shall be the ting in which she happily say do.” A lacquer red flat crepe frock is Lelted by a broad girdle of black satin, topped by a black hat and is | worn with black gloves.

It is said that the Jewish orthodox group do not eat pork because of an ori- ginal worship of the procine species which merged gradually into a sani tary law. The Hindu has an especial rever- ence for the cow. Americans sel- dom eat horse meat knowingly, whereas many foreign peoples con- sume it regularly. Some Philippine tribes delight in the flesh of puppy dogs and it has been asserted that cat may be sold for rabbit. In the superstitions regarding the eating of meat there is a strange conglomeration of religious belief, psendo-science, emotion, and ignor- ance. About 1892, as is pointed out by Dr. Logan Clendening in a special consideration of the subject in “The American Mercury,” Dr. Alexander Haig announced the docirine that uric acid is a factor in the causa- tion of ny diseases, notably Bright's disease, gout, high blood pressure and rheumatism, and that uric acid arises in profuse amounty from the eating of meat That notion had enormous voguc although the evidence to support it has, for the most part, been thor- oughly invalidated that uric acid causes any of the diseases that have been mentioned, and there is plenty of good evi: dence that people who live on mea and little it anything else not infre quently do surprisingly well so f# as their health is concerncd. Vegetarians insist that meat® not man's natural food, that «e apes live largely on fruits and nus, and that meat eating makes fne malicious. Savages of cannibaljtie tribes ate the hearts and the sex glands of their victims in order:hat they might thus acquire the eneny's strength. The mere fact that many anmals subsist largely on vegetable has nothing to do with what mar eata, The intestinal tract of man ha been adapted through centuries of devel- opment into a different type o organ than is possessed by the howe, the elephant or the jackass. Thy secre- tions of the intestinal tract of man are well adapted to a mixed diet. Stefansson, the Arctic cxplorer, has lived for months on a meat diet without serious injury to ais system, indeed, without determinsble altera- tions. The best diet for man in general is one that contsins suitable quantitisx of protein, carbohydrate, fat, mineral salts, and vitamins de. rived from meat, vegetables, milk, fruits, sweets, and all of the wares 80 temptingly displayed in food emporiums.
