Mrs. Douglas and Kelly also believed
that Celestia had come from heaven.
Freddie, however, knew better. He knew
that she came from Mrs. Baxter's, but
for some reason or other did nothing to
spread this knowledge. And. Indeed, In
his own he began to worship her.
Friends and acquaintances of the Doug-

osity and remained to listen, to wonder.
Her effect upon these simple-minded foil:
was extraordinary. They asked no ques

word, but when they carried that word
to others who had not seen her It was
not so convincing always. It was her
eyes more than her logic that won minds
to her way of thinking.
She looked no longer like a Greek god
dess, but like a simple working girl. And
yet she remained magically lovely to
look at and commanding.

"She says." said Douglas, "that every

share In the country. That we must treat
misery and poverty not as necessary
evils, but aa epidemics, and stamp 'em
out. And I tell youse the man who runs
on that rrlatfnrm will get a heap o' votes
In this district. Nobody -ever triea to
argue with her. Tou listen and believe."
Stllllter reported to Barclay and the
other members of the triumvirate. And
those who had begun to lose faith In
Celestia once more , beeame enthusiastic.
"Don't hurry her any," said Barclay.
"Let her doctrines) spread from the house
she's living In, slowly and naturally, until
she has a real following. Then when we
do begin to advertise her It will be more

Ugly Duckling Must Make Most of Her Consolation Prize
Plain Woman Need Not Lack Attention from Men If She Makes Most of her Talents
By DOROTHY DlX.
A homely girl writes me a
