It is the chest raising movement, which is @ marvellous exer- clse, if persisted in for severa] months. Exercising, like everything else worth while in life, mast be practised with ynfailing and untiring deter- mination if best results are to be attained, otherwise occasional indifferent efforts will be of no avail. Chest raising is practised as follows: Stand arms length from a wall or door, palms of hands resting on touches the wall between the hands. in original starting position, but the heels will naturally: come up from th, floor.

The groom furnished it, for a price: “Mrs, Andrews was with him, Miss, She mostly {s.” Saturday night was the weekly hop, the most festive occasion of the week, Max had given Isabelle orders that she could not sit up for dances, as sho wag still @ schoolgirl, The girl made no protest. “Hops don't interest me,” she said, indifferently. ‘After dinner she took a few turns on the piazza with Wally before she went to bed. She wore an odd, white crepe. frock, which hung very close. Her hair was bound round her head sats sneak in and have the first dance together,” gaid Wally; “Max has @ beau,” i. “AN right; then I'l skip,” agreed Isahelle. With the first strains of music they swung into @ waltz, They danced well, and enjoyed it, “Go bed,” ordered Max as she seed them. Paeabelle saw Mr. Cartel idly glance in, then at sight of her he came to thegdoor and watched “Some dance, Miss om. we obliged. Gorry you e us,” said Wally as the dance was over. Cartel strofied off down the hall, and @ few seconds later she followed him, he saw him saunter into one of the many little rooms used for cards, or tea, She noticed it was pews, and again, while he Co a ee or not lighted and, on the tmpulse of- = moment, she stepped in after im, Books, a Delightful Little Heroine, and How She Finds her Sweetheart € nll isldlit § i RE Fee | at” little devil, you came after “ wonder who you are,” said Isa~ bile sweetly, “and who you think I an,” . “Thunder!” said Mr, Cartel, hold- ing her off, and trying to pees at her, “There must be some mistake” Isabelle suggested. “I will ask you to stand just where you are, until I have time to get into the elevator, ‘That will save us both any embar- rassment.” “But I don’t wunderstand,” he mumbled, “I do beg your pardon, I thought"— “Give me three minutes; and I rely on you not to peep into the hall,” she said, with a chuckle. And was gone, leaving the actor-manager more at a loss than such events usually found himy Now, whether Mr. Cartel peeped or not, the next day he re- called a previous meeting with Wally, and asked to be presented to his daughter, “i Bonaventt we met before, Miss ry th he aubet, siving her a very 00! ” she replied, with the faintest suspicion of @ taunt in her tone “I was under the impression that we had” “I'm sure I couldn't forget.” “Not especially.” “What do you enjoy, Miss Bryce?” “Excitement.” “Couldn't we find you someT™ “You might,” with the slightest ac- cent on the pronoun. “Let's try.” he countered. About this time a group of enthu- slasts decided to get up an entertain- ment With fear and trembling they asked the great actor to take part. “How would you like to act « play with me, Cricket?” he asked her, in the tone of a god condescending to mortal. “It would amuse me,” she replied, He laughed. “I need my eyes for seeing my way about,” she drawled. Well as she managed him she was greatly excited at the prospect of acting with him. She had a dreadful row with Max and Wally on the sub- ject, but she won out, and the an- houncement was that thd great man would put on a Shaw Playlet, assisted by the “little Bryce +t ri. There followed da; of rehearsal and preparation, during which Mr. Cartel tried to impress his amateur leading lady, and succeeded not at all, “That's not the way to do it!” he thundered at her repeatedly, “all right. But that’s the way I have to do it. If I'm going to be this woman, I have to be her my way, not yours.” The great night came. Needless to say that the Shaw playlet and the brilliant Cartel were the events of the occasion, Isabelle was by no means obliterated in his shadow. She made a very considerable impression. There was a sort of fire about her. Her lines were read, not recited; and Shaw is the acid test for the amaceur, The performance received an ovation. “You were quite interesting,” Car- tel said, sparingly — inspecting her with half-closed eyes “Do I get my job?” she Inquired. Later, he spoke to her parents about her talent. “For goodness’ sake, don't tel] her,” urged her mother. i “You wouldn't let me take her for & season?” he inquired, “I should say not!” Bryce, with emphasis. The fuss that was made over the girl was enough to turn her head com- pletely, “We've got fo take her away, that's all,” said Wally, a day or two later. “Where?” inquired Max, irritated to brevity, “I don’t know, She gets into trouble wherever she goes, We might open The Beeches.” “Well, we won't.” In the mean time Isabelle asked Cartel daily about a job in bis com- pany. “Nothing doing without your parents’ consent.” ae make them consent, do I get replied Mrs. he “You don't know me,” she warned Bim, ‘The end of August came, and with ft the great man’s departure for re- hearsais in town.

At teu in the morning she presented , herself at the stage door of the New York Theatre, and sent in @ card to Mz. Cartel. Word came out that he had not arrived. She was not permitted to go in, and to her great indigna- tion she had to march up and down the alley for an hour until the great one came. At sight of him she felt that all her troubles were at an end. She hurried forward with @ confident smile, as ho stepped from hig motor. No gleam of delight at the sight of her overspread his features, however. He saw ner; he bowed. “Ah—I got your message,” he said, absent; “I don't think that there is anything for you.” “There's got to be something for me,” said Isabelle with promptness and vigor, “You let me desert my family for a career, and you've got to help me. “But, my dear girl, I urged you not to break with your family, you know.” “It’s too late to talk about that. Here I am. Now, what are you going ta do about it?” “Well, come in,” he sald, curtly; and they went into the theatre, It wag Iswbelle’s first view of the hindside of the mysteries, It was a bot day, and rehearsal was in prog- reas, Cartel's arrival caused a rip- ple. All the actors sat up, as if eleo- trifled. The stage manager advanced at once to speak with him. He glanced at Isabelle, but Cartel made no, move to introduce them. In fact he seemed to have forgotten about her. He issued brief orders, asked a few questions, turned to go. Then, as tf on an afterthought, he added: “By the way: Jenkins, this ts Miss Isabelle deal oe out in the maid's part, ry .
