The Painted Woman
By WINIFRED BLACK.
, Yesterday I walked a mountain ,jtrali.
The broad red road lay beneath us
felons the side of the great cliff, but our
Vlld trail climbed higher, higher, al
ways higher.
1 Now we stood in
fche dassllng sun
lehlne, bo close to
the arching skies
lit seemed as if we
could stretch out a
curious finger and
1 6 u c h ' ever so
tightly the one
Icloud of snow that
tiling In the bright
Iftsure.'
. Now' we walked
lunder.' great arches
f stone made by
he rush of wild
waters centuries
ago. Now 'we stopped to pick up great
handf uls of crimson Indian paint "brushes,
and here we gathered sprays of the
soft mountain rose, and there we stood
etlenced in a group of twisted cedars and
listened awestruck to the wind that called
end crooned and wailed in the sombre
branches of the evergreens. :
What is that down by the' red road,
Something gone wrong? A man and a
woman stopping yes, It is quite plain!
the young' girl with them 'has fainted
nothing unusual in these altitudes. ;
How little and frail she looks. Where
lias she came from, I wonder? Did they
fcrlng her here to save her "'''..
How still she lies! Now the man starts
across the road looking for water, I
suppose.. They seem terribly frightened..
!A girl died not long, ago on this very
trailed walked too far and too fast be
fore she was strong enough for It. Let's
hurry down. v. - '-
It was" as we thought; the girl Is in
& faint. What a pretty frail little thing,
her soft hair all across her delicate face.
IWhat a world of agonised 'love Is in her
toother's frightened eyes! "She felt so
well when we started out and all at
tonce Is she moving? No, she is still
tincon8cious."
One, two, three, four, what a lot of
automobiles pass' this way; surely one of
them will stop to offer aid! No; five,
lelx, seven,' all passing, not one of them
'even slackens speed.
Oh, yes! they see the girl well enough;
see them crane their necks to miss no
jart of the sensation. -' '-. - -
Eight, nine, ten can It be that they
will all pass by on the other side, like'
the cruel folk in the Bible story!
Why, they don't even notice it! That
woman there In that machine laughed
ph, yes,' tne girl's mother Is fat and hef
.clothes are poor' and the hat she wears
Is on one side, I hadn't noticed it before,
and the father is old' fashioned and
jcountrified. Probably mortgaged the
ifarm to get the money to give the darling
fof the old house a chance for life.
: Eleven, twelve ah! there's one that
slackens. What a strange looking wo
man,, painted to the eyes. , I woner if
she thinks any one really believes that's
her own complexion? What a gay hat
and, dear me, those diamonds In her ears
are as big headlights.
She la out of the machine. "Take
these salts," she says. "Walt, dampen
her forehead. I had a brother here once,
but he came too late. Now moisten her
wrists; see. her eyes are opening." '
And in less time then It takes to tell
it the painted woman had the young
girl's drooping head In her gorgeous lap
and was chafing her delicate wrists,' and
in a few minutes she had the frightened
mother and the anxious father up In the
machine beside her and was bearing them
away to safety and comfort and expert
help. She never even looked at the
mother's . hat, and she didn't . seem to
notice the father's worn clothes or his
countrified boots at all.
Fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, all passing,
all careless, all indifferent except the
painted woman.
Tea, perhaps it was the hour of the
daily . brew. Engagements I couldn't
get here before, my dear, Fldo had to
have his bath."
That fat man who dropped his cigar
from his mouth at the sight of us there
by the roadside, where did he speed so
fast? Life -and; death his errand must
have been, or, perhaps, some "good fel
lows" were expecting him down the red
road somewhere, - j i-'-' v v
"Aha," ' laughed ; the wicked magpie,
flashing his satan's livery of b'fick and
white in the shining sun. "Aha, what a
Joke life is!"
And later in the evening when I walked
In - the crowd , that gathered where the
lights were gay, around the- Spring of
Healing Waters, I saw the painted
woman. She was arrayed like Solomon
in all his glory, and she paraded In the
sight of men like a gay peacock. Coarse
featured, loose mouthed, bold eyed, the
painted woman.
I saw a delicate creature In faint blue
shudder as she looked at her, and yet,
wasn't it that same blue' hat that nodded
to the chauffeur to drive on?
I walked to the painted woman and
spoke to her:
"Is the little girl you were so kind to
today, better?" I asked. ,
The painted woman started. ' She did
not: seem accustomed to being spoken to
in public places by a woman. Her bold
eyes wavered a minute, and when she
looked up there were' tears in them.
"She's better," she said. 'They've
taken her to the hospital for a while.
They think there's , a chance for her
yet." And she stepped into the shadow
and disappeared. V. ;' . i
Who paid the entrance fee at the pri
vate hospital, I wonder the painted
woman? I don't believe the old-fashioned
folks there by the roadside had
money enough to do it.
The vision in faint blue stared haught
ily and drew asid her' skirts.
Hark, what was that, the magpie? Did
he laugh again? Do they come this far
down from the mountains, the magpies,
with their sarcastic laughter that sounds
like a scream?

The Proper Oars of Hands and Nails
The Man Who is Kept Dangling
J
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
It sometimes happens that a girl ac
cepts a man when he proposes with the
undefined and unexpressed determination
not to marry mm. .-..;,
She wants, the joy of an engagement
She .wants to bo adored, to be enter
tained, to be loved. She likes no one
better ( than this man, but doesn't like
him as much as she likes the freedom
of girlhood..
Then again 'it happens that a girl re
fuses a man, but does it in such a way
that he has hopes of eventually win
ning her.
Perhaps she intends to accept him
eventually,' Perhaps she thinks to keep
a hold on him till she finds a man who
suits her better. - ''' --
Not, a kind thing- to say of a gtri;
but, admitting., all their sweetness and
attractiveness, there are girls of. whom
the truth Is not kind. . ;
"Despondent," who writes the follow
ing letter, seems to be in a class of men
Iwhorn we will call ; "danglers." v The
girl keeps them dangling around her;
what .her final intentions are regarding
him no one. knows... .
One can only turn to his own knowl
edge of women and guess.
"I have been keeping company for some
time with a girl I dearly love, but she
tells me 'she doesn't want to think of
marriage. She keeps corresponding with
me in the-most friendly terms and the
last time I was Invited to call on he
I again expressed my love. But she
again said she wouldn't think of such
a thing, but wanted me for a good friend.
"For some time I have persistently
pushed my case, thinking that event
ually I would succeed, but am now losing
hopes of winning her. I earn 935 per
week, and have real estate and a house.
I have no bad habits, and am considered
quite a looker, The house was bought
from my own savings, and without any
outside help. The girl knows all this.
"What I don't understand Is that she
writes such . nice letters to trie profes
sing friendship. If she really doesn't
care for roe at all I think it would
be better to let me alone entirely."
And that Is what she should do.
. He would then stand a better chance
of forgetting her, and could no longer
be classed among those unhappy, tor
mented men who are known as "Dang
lers.".. . '
"Despondent" should make the girl one
more proposal, and tell her when , he
makes it that it will be the last.
It she refuses,' I hope he will be a
man of his word and see that it is the
last A rejection should end their ao
acquaintance for so long as he dangles
around her, though merely as a friend,
so long will that most persistent and
most tenacious of all growth of love,
hope, continue to plague him.
Unless a proposal of marriage means
the beginning of a new life with her,
let it mark the end of the old one.

I ' ' ' i ' THB HAND TELLS A WOMAN'S AOS. '
By MARGARET HLBB.1RD AVER.
Several pretty ' girls and some . who
want to be pretty have asked me the
best way to cars for the hands, and
am going to answer them all at once
today.
Bessie, who is-just 14, assures me dole
fully that her hands are ruined forever
because she has always bitten her nails,
and still continues to bite them. Of
course, if she goes on in this pessimistic
frame of mind her hands will not Im
prove., In the meantime, my dear Bes
sie, don't you think you could make an
effort and control yourself . and stop
biting your nails without having to re
sort to treatment given children, which
consist of rubbing a little extract of
maesia on the fingernails and the tips
of the fingers each time after washing
them? The taste of this extract (s
very bitter, and it will remind you that
you are doing a foolish thing and spoil
ing the looks ef your hands, which poets
call the "second face," and which should
receive all the care and attention you
can give them.
It isn't difficult" to have soft and
pretty hands, ' and I have known lots
of girls who did housework whose hands
wero better ' looking than others who
nevjr washed a dish and never came
In contact with a smoky and greasy pot
or pan. ., ; . .
First of all, you must take pains to
make the skin of your hands soft and
white. A good cold cream or camphor
cream should be used for this. As al
most all of the articles' used for the
. hands can be bought cheaper than they
can be mads, It is better to go to a reli
able place and buy suoh things rather
than to experiment with formulas.
No matter how good the formula, un
less you happen to have the knack of
making t properly, It will opst ' you
more than the article manufactured by
the wholesale, and consequently sold at
a moderate price.
Keep a small Jar of cold cream near
your washstand, and If you have kitchen
work to do, have it near the sink, It
will pay you to make some small hand
towels for your own particular us In
the kitchen, and every time you wash
your hahdB before drying them, apply a
little bit of cream or grease, and then
dry off thoroughly on your own towel,
There should also be a piece of pumice
stone and a fresh cut lemon to remove
stains or callous spots from the handa
If your hands are always very rough,
take a little good oatmeal, boll It la
water sufficient to make a thin gruel,
strain it through cheesecloth and add a
little more water; use this liquid instead
of fresh water for washing the hands.
Thts Is also good for washing the face,
especially for girls whose skin chaps
easily.
Few girls are willing to wear gloves
at night, and I think It Is more' or
less torture even If the gloves are two
or three sizes too big. But the same
results can be obtained: that is, nice,
soft, white harms, if cold cream is used
frequently, and good massage or
cleansing cream is thproughly rubbed Into
the hands every, night.
This treatment will sometimes fatten
hands, but ordinarily the hand does not
get plump until the rest of the bofly
fattens up, and very nervous people are
not likely to have plump hands until
their nerves are cured or conquered. '
Red and swollen hands are usually
caused by tight lacing or stricture
somewhere on the body; tight garters
will show in this way, and so will tight
armholes, and very red hands after eat
ing arc sometimes the effect of Indi
gestion. ,
If you have much housework or kitchen
work to do, keep all your old gloves to
wear at this time. Rubber gloves ore
excellent for dishwashing and for some
rough work with a scrubbing brush. If
you don't want your rubber gloves to
. crack or rot be sure and clean them very
thoroughly, before drying.- -'
Now as to the care of the nails. Tou
only need a very few simple implements
and If you take twenty minutes once a
week, and two or three minutes every
day, you ought to be able to keep your
hands In good condition. . The Instru
ments you will need are an orangewood
, stick, a nail file, some emery boards, a
nail clipper, a nail polisher or piece of
chamois, nail paste and polish.' Instead
of liquid bleach use lemon juice on a little
piece of cotton, rolled round -the point
of your orange stick, for bleaching dls
coloratlons under the nail. First of all
t clip your nails In the shape desirsd.
Don't cut them too long or too pointed.
File the edges and finish off with the
emery until the edge la perfectly soft
and smooth. Wash the hands thoroughly
s.n soak nails In water; now press the
skin or selvege around the nail gently
away from the base, so that the half
moon shows. If thin white skin clings to
the nail, you can get It away with the

Let me tell you sumthlng, sed Pa. I
have been a nweipaper man tor many '
yeers & thay say I am a fairly good one,.
If I was ever to teech a lot of boys to
be a newspaper man, this is the course r.
of study I wud lay out for them:
1. How to pleese the editors.; r '
2. How. to git a order for advance
munny from the editors. t
. How to explain yure absence to the,,
editors. . .

are - cleaned of this white skin.' Tou
should press the selvege down every
evening before going to bed, as that will
make the operation very much simpler.
and will keep the nails in good condition;
especially It you dip your fingers in oil. r
Always keep the cuticle soft by generous j
application of cold cream, or olive oil. v
Wash the hands once again, apply '
little bit of rose paste and then polish,"
with the buffer and nail polish. Ridges
on the nails are due to uric acid and they
cannot be scraped or polished off, but -
when ' thts condition of the blood is jr
rectified - the nails will . grow ' smooth
again. '
If you've gotten your hands very dirty,
Instead. ' of washing them at once In .
water, clean them off first with cold ,
cream, vaseline or olive oil. Then wash '
them . with pure soap and lukewarm
water. ' , - v.. .,!-. ; '
Unless you dry your hands very thor-"-oughly,
you needn't expect to have them
soft. Qlrls are very careless about dry-
In their hands, and women who are no 1
longer in their first youth will find that
the skin of the hands begins to wrinkle '
and grow dry unless a good deal of at- -tentlon
is paid them: The older woman
needs plenty of oil for her hands, either.,
in the form of cold cream or pure olive i
oil, or some good skin food. ' , ' '
She should rub them every night and :'
she will be repaid for a little extra at-
tentlon every day. The hand Is a dead
giveaway of a woman's age. I ; have
seen, lots of women whose , faces have
been skinned and operated on until they
looked thirty years younger than they
really were, but the hands have s been
forgotten, and proclaimed the exact age
which they were trying to hide.
