SATURDAY As Tom has shown such
a nasty, dlsagieeable spirit In connection
with me, It was really nice and comforting
to have Jim propose again. I felt that I
really owed it to myself. And it wasn't In
the least heartless of me to refuse him,
because women are so fond of him, and
have spoiled him so, It will do him a
great deal of good to find that one of
them does not succumb to his charms. I
was perfectly frank with him part of the
time.
Nothing can be more amusing than to
be frank nd truthful with some people,
and there are so many delightful ways of
being so.
One can take the plain, unvarnished
truth and put all aorta of different clothes
on It, as It were. Some people, especially
a few eminent writers, certainly can drape
It In hideous garments that are most be
coming to it and quite hurt one's eyes,
but I love to try to get hold of It a fear
fully difficult thing to do and then put
attractive little fancy dresses on It. That
la also very difficult sometimes, as It
usually hates to be dressed up at all.
But, anyway, Jim and I had a very
entertaining evening, though I became
quite miserable for a while, and found
that It was anything but easy to end It
in a graceful and tactful manner. I re
minded him that I had told him I was a
flirt and that ha was not to believe auy-

It all came over me in a flush what a
pig I was, and as soon as he saw how
unhappy I felt he proposed more than
ever. Thank goodness, he became rather
dramatic, and then I didn't feel so badly.

he was sitting in sort of sticky, and., his
white flannel trousers stuck fearfully
every time he got excited and tried to rise.
They sort of squeaked, too, and he got
terribly Irritated.
He was staying with us for a day or
two, as he had complained to mother that
the "Bilge-Water" was so uncomfortable.
and she had In a hospitable moment asked
him to come to our house until his aunt
returned and he could go to her. She was
expected to come hack in two days, and
as he looked at her so appealingly and so
good-lookingly I seconded her Invitation.
I thought we could have the proposal the
night before he left, but, of course, he had
to go and upset everything.
Naturally, his last evening was rather
trying. If he had been a man In a book.
he would have left Immediately, and told
mother In a quiet, manly way, trying to
smile, that he had received word that he
was required In town at once. He would
have shaken her hand very hard and
would have walked quickly out without
trusting himself to look at me at all. In
stead of doing the proper tiling he stayed
over until the next day. I noticed he ate
an enormous breakfast and s"eemed quite
cheerful. There were nofhe very green look
ing apples on a plate on, the sideboard,
and he ate two of those and then com

disgusting.
He seemed to grow worse, and after a
very large luncheon I heard him telling
Aunt Georgette all about It. Just before
dinner he was playing and singing. I had
been sitting In the big chair at the side
of the piano, listening to him. I thought
suddenly of a note I ought to write, and
got up and went over to the other side of
the room Just as Aunt Georgetta came In.
She made Btralght for Uiat seat.
He was singing away at the top of his
lungs and never heard either of us move.
So, still thinking I was sitting there, he
leanrd over toward the back of the chair
and said in the most Impressive and tender
way: "This Is a song that I want to
sing to you and to no other woman," and
he began, "Gee. how I'd love to furnish a
flat tor you, dear)"
Aunt Georgette arose In the most dig
nified way and said: "Mr. Connors, I
think you have made a mistake!" and
sailed out of the room. She went to
mother, and got quite hysterical and said
she had not led him on In any way, and
had thought at first that I was the object
of hla devotion. She begged mother not

It. as he would probably kill Jim.
I am positive that she was a good deal
disappointed when the mistake was ex

Professional base ball's chief asset Is a
firm public belief In Its honesty In the In
tent to win. The recent outburst of popu
lar indignation against certain members of
the St. luls American league team,
charged with deliberately shirking 'In or
der to allow Larry l.ajole of Cleveland to
nrnke hits and thereby beat out Ty Cobb
of Detroit for the automobile to be
awarded the champion batter of the year,
was an evidence of how strongly the pub
lic cherishes the honesty of the national
pastime. When such cases as that al
leged to have arisen In St. IjouIs are pub
lished they attract attention all over the
country, ecn when they take place In the
smallest of minor leagues.
1'rofesslonal bsse ball haa been peculiarly
free from suspicion that the players were
not on the field to win. Players havo
been convicted of every offense, from pro
fanity to manslaughter, as a result of di s
pel ate attempts to win at any cost, and
It was this motive which made the fans
regard them leniently. Ivllberate efforts
to throw games are almost unknown.
About thirty years ago four men were ex
pelled from professional base ball for life
for this crime against honesty, and since
then nothing of tho sort has been proven
In any of the larger leagues. Rase ball
differs markedly In this respect from
wrestling, foot racing and professional
sculling, nil of which have lost their vogue
because of agreements on the part of one
contender to lose, and it stands Immeasur
ably above" boxing and horse racing, in
which pulling or quitting have been proved
many times.
The Intensity of the winning Idea In base
ball was perfectly demonstrated by the
case of Dr. "Mike" Powers, the wonder
fully popular catcher of tho Philadelphia
Athletics last year. He was stricken by a
complication of Intestinal troubles toward
the end of a game and must have suffered
horribly, but said nothing about It and re
mained until the laat hand was out. He
was scarcely In the club house before he
was prostrated by agony so intense that
hypodermics brought no relief. He was
hurried to a hospital and died In a few
hours.
Similar examples, but without such fatal
consequences, are by no means rare. Hajry
Bemls, the Cleveland catcher who has
been relegated to the minors this season,
was 111 and badly' cut up but continued in
the game when Cleveland was thought to
have a chance for the pennant. Bob
I'nglaub, the Washington first buaerhan,
played half a game one day this year with
the big toe on his right foot knocked out
of place and badly twisted to one side.
Nothing shows the desire to win more
clearly than the retention of the really
barbarous spikes used by all ball players.,
These are not spikes at all, but three
blades about an Inch wide arranged In
triangular form on the heel and the toe
of the Bhoe. For years efforts have been
made to replace these vicious, cutting
muchines by something less harmful, but
the players have . opposed the changes
because all substitutes hitherto Invented
were supposed to detract from the speed.
This season a number of experiments with
spikes, consisting of three dull pointed
brass cones, have been tried and have
proved fairly successful, but the old
timers and the ones who have been injured
wot st by the present style are the strong
est opponents of the Innovation.
One of the worst spiking cases on record
was that by which the career on the play
ing field of John J. McGraw, manager of
the New York League team, was ended.
McGraw Is a small man but was famous
for the reckless manner In which lie slid
into bases feet first, threatening serious
Injury to anyone blocking him. Numerous
threats were made against him but he was
undeterred. Finally, one day in Baltimore
when MsGraw was playing third for the
Baltimore teamt Dick Harley of St. Louis,
Jumped straight at McGraw 'as he came
into that base and caught him below the
knee with his spikes. The flesh and
tendons were laid wide open and McGraw
was in bed for weeks.
About the moBt highly respected man In
base ball Is Cyrus Denton Young, now
with Cleveland and formerly with Boston.
He won his 60Uth victory this year. He haa
almost perfect control and when he finds
a batter stepping up on his shoots he
warns him to be careful. If the batter
disobeys he Is almost sura to stop a shoot
with his head and go to a hospital. Davy
Altlzer, with Minneapolis this year and
drafted by Cincinnati, Ignored Young's
warning in a desperate attempt to win an
American league game one day. He step
ped up on Young's curves, although he
knew the danger, was knocked out and,
It Is believed, has never entirely recovered
from the effects of the blow. He is one of
a half dosen others who has incurred the
same risk for the same purpose and have
paid the same penalty.
Discolorations and Tan on the Neck
A woman who- uses 'rong bleaches for
skin discoloration makes a mistake, be
cause, as a rule, an agent strong enough
to whiten quickly is powerful enough to
lnjre the texture of the flesh.
This statement aa a preamble to the fact
I want to make clear that girls whose
throats have become discolored through
the summer so they show a line of tan
or burn above the collar must not resort
to applications which will remove the stain
In a night. There are gentle bleaches, ap
plied In the form of creams or lotions,
which will act slowly and without Injury.
Such is peroxide cream.

No more genial and likeable man lias
donned a base ball uniform In the histoiy
of the sport than Charley Hickman, the
powerful slugger, for years In the major
leagues and later In the American associa
tion. The only human being for whom
lllikman was known to have any antlpnthy
was Bill Armour, manager of tho Toledo
club. When Hickman s major league days
were over, largely because of a spiking
irvelved while trying to win an exhibition
game In Texas, he was signed by Armour
with perfect confidence that Hlrknmn
would not let his animosity for the man
ager Interfere with his woik. Armour
right. Hickman was a hlg factor In Toledo
and bis gieat hitting was the talk of the
circuit.
Kid (Norman) Elbcifeld. the snappy In
flelder with the New York Americans for
several years, and now with Washington,
has the reputation of being almost a
fanatic on the subject of winning. He Is
said by his fellows to be the only man In
the game who will intentionally allow him
self to be hit In the head with the ball in
order to get to first base. In Washington
late this summer he was spiked and so
badly Jarred by a collision with a runner
that he was scarcely able to walk, but
carefully concealed tho fact in his anxiety
to remain In the game. Captain McBildo
discovered the condition of the "Tobasco
Kid" and ordered him off tho Hold. He
ltmainod an Insurgent and hobbled around
his position until ho was peremptorily
benched by Manager McAlcer.
Brothers In the same league are not In
frequent, even In the majors. Two now
in the American league are William Killl
fer, catcher for St. l.ouU. and Wade Kllll
fer. substltue Infellder for Washington.
Neither Is a very good batter, and the
hold of each of his place Is rather pre
carious, but that had no effect on their
playing against each other. In one game
St. Louis played In Washington this sea
son Wade made tho prettiest play of the
day, cutting off a hit for his brother, who
sorely needed It, while Brother Bill re
spondent on another occasion by scientific
ally blocking Wade off the plate aud mus
sing him up generally when he thought to
score from third on un Infield drive.
Two famous brothers In the big leagues
were Jesse Tannehlll, the famous left
handed pitcher, who retires this year, and
iH'e Tannehlll. the Chicago American third
baseman. Lee Is a weak hitter, but a
brilliant fielder. Brother Jesse used to take
great delight In striking him out. Slm
larly, lee was wont to exult exceedingly
when he made a good play on a drive by
Jesse, who wna a good hitter and proud
of his achievements with the stick.
Harry Howell, who will probably be an
umpire next year, ruined his splendid
pitching arm a year ago by Insisting upon
taking part as anTnflclder In an exhibition
game. He became excited, forgot to nurse
his arm carefully, and thiew too hard be
fore he was In condition. He will never
recover, from that Indiscretion duo to a
desire to win,
A atory illustrating the lengths to which
players wll go to pull their teams through
on the long end of the score Is I AM of
Cy Morgan, 'who haa had such a splendid
record' with the Phtlndelphla Athletics
this season. Morgan wus pitching for Bos
ton against Detroit In 1!KW. When Cobb
came to bat he insisted on hurling the
ball around Cobb's head to aeare him away
from the plate. The Detroit star knew
exactly what was going on and declared
he would get even. Later In tho gams
Cobb got to third base and started for
home on a play where Morgan had to
cover the plate. When some distance off,
Cobb launched himself through the air
feet first and literally drove Morgan away,
scoring his run. Tho fact that Morgan
gave ground before those gleaming spikes
that might have crippled him forever is
said to have been the real explanation of
the fact that he wa shortly after traded
to the Athletics.
Umpires lead an unhappy life. In the
brat of passion players charge them with
unfairness, but seldom mean It, nor do
they really attribute the supposed unfair
ness . to financial motives. Umpires are
human and like to see the best team win,
but there are motives in life stronger even
than base ball. The story is told of a
Texas league umpire who some years ago
called a sixteen-innlng game In Houston,
Tex., on account of darkness when the sun
waa an hour high." Then he darted madly
from the park. He was captured by en
raged cltiiens who, amid sanguinary
threats, demanded the reason for depriving
the home team of a chance to win a game
on which much depended. "Well," replied
the frightened arbitrator, "at the end of
the sixteenth-Inning I saw my girl leav
ing the park with another fellow and Just
naturally had to see where she went."

peroxide of hydrogen.
The wax and spermaceti must be broken
Into a china cup set into a basin of hot
water.. As the two ingredients soften the
almond oil should be poured ln, and after
a moment the cup removed from the heal,
then the peroxide slowly beaten ln with
a silver fork. The peroxide must not be
put in all at once. If the cream begins
to harden before all la In, the cup may be
returned for a moment to the bath. Should
a perfume be desired, any oil chosen must
be dropped into the peroxide. Two or three
drops of essence of rose or violet will bo
sufficient.
The cream must be rubbed into the dis

be no difficulty In using It at the latter
time If, after applying the surface Is wiped
over with a soft piece of linen and plain
rice powder in large quantity Is put on.
A lotion which should act similarly Is
made from one and one-half drams of citric

water, one dram of borax, and one-half
ounce of glycerine. The water la poured
over the borax and citric acid, the two
powders having been previously put Into
a glass Jar. This should stand over night

out not disturbing the sediment In the
bottom. The glycerine Is added to the clear
lotion and four strops of rose essence
poured in to scent It.
Discolorations of the arms, any burning

either the lotion or the cream if they are
used regularly, night and morning. Their
action Is slow, but both contain greasy ele
