Married Life the Third Year
Helen is Much Impressed With the Gloomy Grandeur of
' : the London Hotel.
Bj MABEL HERBERT i'RJVER.

It wia a typlcaL I-ondon hotel room.
Large, dark, hlgh-celltnged, and-th fur
toisblngs had an atr or mase.ve aolldlty
(; There were long red velvet hangings
t the window.
Wild the bedstead,
wardrobe and
.dressing table' were '
of heavy English .
walnut Over thft
open grate was " a -broad
black marble
-jhanteU' , r-
The- velvet win
dow .hangings and
marble, mantel
seemed to Helen .
particularly 1 m -preseive.
. Taej;
gave the room an
atmosphere of
gloomy grandeur
which satisfied her
ldeaa of., an, old
and famous Lon
don hotel.
-' "Here, can't, we have any more light?"
demanded Warren, , frowning , intq the
mirror, before which, he was adjusting
his tie. "Push back those cutaina there."
Helen drew. back the heavy hangings.
but outside, was. .only a, grey stone wall.
It might have," been dusk Instead of 8
o'clock in the morning. Then she .turned
on the electric light, but for all that large
room there , was only one small, bulb
dropped on a ' wire from the f center of
the ceiling.
Warren looked up with a contemptuous,
"Huh, that's a brilliant Illumination for
a room like this. We'd have a dosen of
those at home."
"Yes. I know, but in a way a lot of
lights would spoil this room. The gloomi
tiess seems to make It more distinctive."
"Well, what I want Is a decent light
to shave by, and I'll have it, too. If I
etay here. Where's that clothes brush?'
"Here's the whisk broom, dear, you
;put the brush In your suit case."
He got It out and turned slowly round
while Helen brushed his coat.
"Heady now? Tou know we're not com.
ing back up here after breakfast."
"Yes, dear. I'm all ready," putting
her hatpin in at a more comfortable
, angie, and taking up her gloves, purse
and Baedeker.
"For heaven's sake hide, that guide
book! 'Get a newspaper to fold it 1n,
You needn't flaunt your Americanism
It's evident enough; Now come on. Here,
we'd better turn out that arc-light- It
burns too. much electricity." And all the
way down the hall he chuckled at his
own Joke.
They had. breakfast In the dining room
by a ireat high window which ' reached
almotftq the ceiling, and was hung with
the same dark velvet hangings. It was
a delicious English breakfast of eggs,
bacon, ' toast and orange marmalade.. . ."
It was Just nine by the clock in the
rotunda as they passed through. Helen
drew1 -Warren to a pause on the hotel
steps, as she looked up and down the
unfamiliar street before them.
"Dear, Just think, this is our first day
In London! Think of aU the impressions
-all the mental pictures we'll store up
today." '
"Now, we've got no time to sentimen
talize. We've got to be on the Job here
every moment. You can moon over thing
when you get 'home. Here, we'll go
around this way to the Strand."
The Strand! Helen had so often heard
that name, and now In a few minutes
she would tee the street Itself!
But the Strand was very different from
her expectations. .Instead of the large
stately stores that she had pictured,
there were, innumerable small stoops,
with their show windows crowded with
goods. Gloves, canes, umbrellas, ties,
collars shirts,' were displayed' in mis
cellaneous assortment. .' ' ;
"Why,.: Warren, look .how they hang
their goods la the Window! Surely these
re not very-good stores?"
"Good, as any. -That's- the way all the
shops' " here know their stuff. . Crowd
everything' they can get-Into the win
dows.'.' ; -
"But look, dear!" as they passed a
Jeweler's where countless watch thalrts
and silver trinkets were hung, close
against the window pane, with the price
marked "on each. " "Why It looks like a
pawn shop!" , .
"But "that's- the way the - best London
Jewelers display their goods. Here,, we'll
cross over at this corner. I want you to
see a famous old shop house Just belew.u
As they crossed Helen was astonished
to find th traffic going down on the
left side of the street '
"Now that's something you must look!
out for.. You've got to be mighty care
ful In tronelng the streets here. Every
thing goes to the left instead , of to the
right." - - .. .
Helen gazed up in amazement' "You
mean they drive to the left?"
: "That's It. And you've got to ,keP
that constantly lii mind and be mighty
alert It you don't want to get run over."
"But lar, surely the drjving laws
should be uniform all over the world.
Why think If a chauffeur came over
here and got bewildered"
"Yes, 'that's happened several times
and there's been a Jolly smashup. We
think the English should conform to our
rules and they think we should conform
to theirs so there you are!"
He paused now ' before a window In
which were displayed raw chops and lob
sters and Joints of mutton and beef.
"Here Is the chop house I spoke of.
It's famous for its grill. We'll go there
for dinner some night!". To Helen thla
phrase carried with It a thrill of ex
pectancy. And theye were not only to be
In London one night, but many nights!
And Warren had promised' to. take her
to a different place for dinner every
evening.'- ' i ., ..
"Now, we'd better get op a 'bus here.
I've Just about time to take you to St.
Paul's."' J
"Qh, Warren, I'd forgotten all about the
time. Ypu'U not be late?"
"No, it's Oply half past . You can't I
& any business here until 10. They1 dpq't
open their offices before that. If an En
llshman gets to his office' la a top ht
before, noon and writes a couple of let
ters he thinks he's done a day's work
That's why we're going to put things
through here and we're going . to put
them through good and hard. I'll show
these Britishers a thing or two before I
leave.'f ;
And as always when Warren assumed
this confident, all powerful air, Helen
was duly Impressed. If deep in her heart
there was the doubt that Warren was
under-estimating the Englishman's ability
and .over estimating his own, she would
not admit It even to herself. Since War
ren had come over here confident that
he could put over his deal in a few weeks,
Helen was far too blindly Idolizing to
doubt the success of his plans.
"Oh, dear; wait till It stops!" as War
ren now hurried her after a passing
'bus.
"It's not going to stop," almost lift
ing her on the still moving vehicle.
"You've got to get on while they're go
ing that's a pecularlty of the London
" '
"Where tor demanded the conductor
when he come for the fares.
"St. Paul's," answered Warren.
"Three ha'pence."
"How much it that?", asked Helen,
eagerly. .
'"Three cents of our money.' They
charge here for the distance you go,
and it's a sensible plan, too. At home
we pay five cents, whether we ride two
blocks or two miles,"
"Phi that curious old church right In
the middle ' of the street!"
"Yes, that's St. Mary's; and there'a
Temple Bar. Now .this Is Fleet stree we're
going into the newspaper offices are all
along here. There's the old 'Cheshire
Cheese.' That's where they have the
famous beefsteak pie every Thursday,
think it is. We'll take that in."
Helen was gazing with breathless in
terest at the famous old places of which
she had often read. ,.
"Now, this is Ludgate Hill, and that's
St Paul's at ,the top. Baedeker gives
you a lot of dope about that. Come, we
get off here." ,
Again the bus refused to stop, and
Helen was forced to Jump off while It
was moving.
"Backwards, of course!" exclaimed
Warren, angrily. "A woman never: bas
sense enough to get off a car the right
way. Now this is Bt Paul's court yard. I
There'a a lot of cheap shops around here.
Baak there Is Paternoster Row and
Amen Comer, where all the old book
shops used to be. After you come out of
St Paul's you mighwander around here
a while It's an interesting old neighbor
hood."
Then glancing, at his watch, "It's al
most 10 o'clock. I'll have to hurry. Now
you understand, do you? You're to meet
me at the hotel at 5 o'clock. Got enough
money?" , r
"Oh, yes, dear; plenty."
"All . right take care of yourself. And
don't forget about these street that
everything goes to the left."
, He left her on the steps, of St. Paul's,
turned back once, . tipped his hat and
was quickly lost In (he crowd.
Helen stood motionless for several
moments looking after him. Thought
she saw him. Jump on a bus, Just as a
huge van moved In the way.
. he turned and looked up at the great
cathedral towering above her, then back
again to the crowded thoroughfare that
led down through - Fleet street to the
Strand-the great high road of the city.
"Alone In London!" Helen smiled at

Beauty Secrets of Footlight Favorites
Some General
Rule.
By GLADYS ZBU.
I spend half bn hour every day on
"prettying" up and two hour on Sunday
Few girls have more, time than that to
devote to their , looks, and if on lv8
ti amount of time , regularly to one'
personal appearance there Is na reason
why one should loot always be .well'
groomed. . .
This Is how I manage. I divide the
time up In two parts fifteen minutes
in the morning and, the same at night.
Of course I am not counting the tirne
spent dn dressing and a daily bath,
which should take Just five minutes. If
you keep your hands, hair and face 'in
food order and take One hour a week
for mending your, clothes,, you will find
that you can dress very Quickly and
you are really, not spending any more
time in "beautifying" than the girl who
Just dawdles around when he should be
getting dressed. ' .,
Before I go to bed every night I brush
my hair for five minutes by tho clock.
That doesn't seem a long time when you
say five minutes, but If you are brushing
it gives you plenty of opportunity to.
shine and brighten your hair.ahd make
it glossy and. smooth. Xfter I have
braided it into two plaits I pn it around
my head and then start in to look , fter
my complexion,' -,r
I get i good cleansing cream, which
I -use In quantities and rub this en my
face thoroughly. This doesn't take mora
than a minute, and the cream ha al
ready made my fingers greasy,- to I
am ready to give five minutes' to mani
curing. J use the same cream to joftn
the cuticle around the edge of the nail,
and, as I do it every night the cuticle
never has to be cut, but can be pressed
down with a little orange wood tlck
and then with the finger and the edge
of the towel. I give my nail a, touch
with the emery board, shaping them a
little every night, so they very seldom
have to be cut at all, as I keep them filed
down In ' this way. After the cutcle Is
softened and the nail nicely shaped, I
put on a little more of the cream, dip
my buffer in the polishing powder s,nd
polish my nails for about a minute.
Now, I wash my hand In warm water
and then In cold and have used five more
minutes of my evening time. The cold
rinsing water Which I use for m,y hand I
dabble over my face and begin a quick
massage, stroking and pinching my
cheeks hard. Thi bring color Into the
cheeks and the cold water is a fin tonlo.
After two or three minutta I wipe my
face off thoroughly on a soft towel, the
cream bringing aU the impurities with it
, In the morning I spend five more mlnr
utes on my face, bathing It wth warm
water and soap, and thea rinsing off
with cold again. In the morning I also
use lemon , on my neck so. as to whiten
it. Just a small piece of lemon rubbed
over the akin 1 all on need. After
that wipe tho neck off. with wash
cloth., in' a few days the neck win be

the thought of a' melodramatic play aha
had once seen advertised by that name,
Until I o'clock she was to be absolutely
alone.- '
The love of adventure was. In a curious
way. very strong within Helen. To spend
her first day In London alone! To roam
about and explore all by btrself! ' Tho
fluttering fear oply added to her excited
exhilaration. -, - .
And she entered the great arched door
way of the dimly lit cathedral athrfll

nav those ugly collar stains. The other
ten, minutes in the. morning .are given
over too xerple. I find tne very best
one 1 tho bending exercise which 1 don
like this: I stand up straight with my
feet quite far apart bending the knee
and lowering the body a little. I try to
bend first to en side and then to the
other, then forward and back, then I
try the Jumping exercise, which makes
you very light on your feet and Is done
by Jumping a high as one can and try
ing to land on the same spot' This exer
cise will wake ou up sooner than any
thing els If you are sleepy and dull In
the morning. Between these exercises I
go to the window and breathe regularly
and as deep as I can; this breathing
exerolse was given to me by my singing
teacher,' and I think it is a very good
ope. It is.don like thla: -
Put, your bands over your diaphragm
lf you don't know, where it Is you will
find It around by your lower ribs In the
place where the comedian points to wnen
he wanta to indicate his heart. Begin to
breathe In little puff of breath so Urn
you feel your ribs expanding, breathe in
Just as much air as you can and then
hold your breath' as long as you can, and
let It go very carefully and gently.
. This Is the way I spend half an hour a
day In trying to make the best of what
looks' I may have. On Sundays I sham
poo my hair, and. while it Is drying I
give my nails a thorough manicure, which
makes it unnecessary to devote more
than five minutes a day to them for the
rest of. the week. Fortunately, the pret
tiest styles in hair dressing are quite
simple, and if you keep your half well
brushed, it 1 bound to look nice. During
the hot and sticky weather I brushed a
handful "of orrjs root' Into It at night,
which helped to dry it out and free from
oil.
While I am drying my hair, I make
out a list of what ought to be mended
in' my wardrobe, and . this helps me ve.-y
much,' because when I have the tima I
know exactly what sewing must.be .lone,
and I don't lose a minute trying to re
member. -'

Questions in Science
S. B -J
-J
By EDGAR LUCIEN LARKIX.
Q Is It true that a physician can diag
nose diseases in his office when the
patients are in a- diitant hospital by
means of electricity? '
A.-A physician in a distant office,, if
he ha the proper electrical pevlce, can
count pulse, and also hear the systols
and diastole of the heart In It beating.
A stethoscope can be connected with a
transmitting telephone, and sounds In
the chest magnified and transmitted. Air
rushing in the lungs can be heard by the
distant physician. .
Q.-Atlantls, the submerged land be
tween Spain and Central America, has
been mentioned quite frequently of late
n spme of the periodicals I read. Was
there ever such a continent?
A.-There Is no rigid scientific proof of
the existence of the traditional continent
now supposed to be at the bottom of the
Atlantic. Remains of prehistoric plants,
like those now growing In Central
America, Cuba and Venezuela, have been
discovered in Islands now rising above
the waves of the Atlantic ocean. The
stories told to Solon and the (Jreeks by
the ancient Egyptians are familiar to all.
But a very remarkable series of books
purporting to be accounts of Atlantis are
In existence. A new book on this fasci
nating subject Is announced (rom time to
ttme-the last being a huge volume oi
80? pages. It is hoped that some inscrip
tion or writing of some. kind will be
dUcovered In th ruined temple now be
ing excavated front beneath' the site of
ancient Memphis, the great capital of
ancient Egypt.
Q.-Please define the word energy.
A.-rl cannot.- Suppose that I Bhould b
asked: "What is the cause of light
moving with the Incessant specific speed
of 186,383 miles during each successive
second of time?" I would be utterly un
able to reply. First, I cannot think of
the cause of this unthinkable velocity.
How answer? . The fact is, science does
not know what anything really Is.
Electrons are the vanishing points; they
are on the limit of knowledge, of ovea
hope of thought All are agreed that
they are electricity, but that does not
help In tho solution of any riddle of the
universe.
It does not seem possible that science
will come to an end In any attempt at
explaining. Some new discovery sur
passing all others may. yet be made.
Really, such a discovery must be made,
or science will come to an Impenetrable
wall,-for we cannot at present think of
mind, life or an electron. How progress
or advance in search of anything it w
are unable to think of It? This Is a
gloomy outlook; but Just now It appears
to be hopelessly impossible to discover
any fact as to what mind, life and elec-
