The Widow Finds That She
ested in the
By Virginia Terhune Van dc Water.
The tall clock In the corner of the Rob
bins drawing room had chimed 11 before
Beatrice arose to leave. For the past
hour, she had been tete-a-tete with Sid
ney Randolph. Her host and hostess had
been conversing in low tones with Dr.
fiaynes by the open window, while the
widow seated some distance from thera
In the soft glow cast by the shaded
lamp, held the artist a willing captive.
She felt the subtle Intoxication which
possesses a woman who is conscious that
she ; appears at her best and is appre
ciated by some man who Interests her.
And in the self-confidence brought about
by this Ideal condition, Beatrice talked
' gayly and willingly, the Increasing admtr
ation in Randolph's eyes serving as a
spur to further effort.
At the peremptory summons of the
clock she started, looking unaffectedly
surprised and regretful. ;
"Eleven!" she exclaimed. "Helen, dear,
please forgive me! Somehow" with an
apologetic laugh "time changes minutes
to seconds when I am here." '
"Nor Aid I know that It was so late,"
answered Helen amiably, rising, how
ever, with alacrity and leading the way
to-the door. "We must thank our guests
for waking us forget the flight-or time;"'
"Who-is' this Mr. Randolph?" Beatrice
asked Helen as she stood in her hostess'
bedroom, adjusting a filmy scarf over
her soft hair. "I have heard of him,, of
course," she added hastily, as she saw
Helen's look of surprise, "bill, I' mean,
what has he really doner ' s
"He has painted many things," an
rwered Helen, "Doth here and" abroad.
He is better known In Paris than here,
for we're only just beginning to appre
ciate hifn in America. He did the won
derful ''Jphlgenia,', that everybody has
been talking about lately, and which,, by
the way, he tells us' has been sold. ' And
I he has just published a little book of
! verses. Some of them are exquisite.
He's really 'a very brilliant 'and unusual
chap, who Ijas seen a lot of the world
'and understands most of what he has
seen.- John and he met In Ldndon two
' years ago. and since he set up' a studio
;here in New York he's often at our
I house."
The three men were in the lower hall
;when Beatrice descended the stairs
; Randolph and Dr. Haynes ready for de
'p&rture. The artist stepped forward
Jesgerly as he caught sight of Beatrice.
. "It would give me happiness, Mrs.
Minor' he -said, with formal grace, "to
' be permitted to conduct you to your
i home."
Beatrice accepted smilingly his 'prof
ifcred escort, and. after blddjng her
hosts good night descended the steps of
the Minor house, her hand resting lightly
on tlje artist's arm.
"How often." Randolph said, as they
traversed the lamp-lighted vista of the
iavenue, "one is surprised by a good. time
In spile of forebodings of monotony." .
."Yes?" .queried Beatrice.
"I mean," the man continued, "that
1 had expected only the quiet .family
dinner predicted by Mrs. Robbins when
she Invited me for tonight, and instead
I" with a change of tone, "met you."
"And I," responded Beatrice with an
(effort , to appesr unembarrassed, "met
with a very pleasant surprise in having
the. opportunity of talklngface to face
with the man who painted the wonderful
Iphigenla.' " '
By the glad ring In the artist's voice
Beatrice knew she had pleased him.
"Praise - of his picture," he declared,
"has the same effect upon a painter
that praise of her child has upon a
imother. I should like you for that speech
even if I did not already like you for
yourself Have you seen the picture?"
he asked.'
Helen' hesitated confusedly for an. In
stant, then took refuge in a half-He a
form of prevarication, by the way. quite
as dangerous to one's own moral char
acter as a direct falsehool would be. Un
ifortunately, there are persona who would
hold up their hands In horror at a
hare, blunt lie, who will, nevertheless,
speak that which seems to the hearer
the truth, but is really uttered with the
intention to deceive. So Beatrice's con
science did not smite her as she replied
to Randolph's question.
"It is a wonderful creation," she said,
glibly. "I know nothing about technique
fn art, but do long to see that picture
Bgaln. I love the spirit of It."
"Do you really want to see it once
more?" asked Randolph, pleased and
flattered. "If so, won't you come to
the studio for tea some afternoon very

"I would be delighted to come!" Bea
trice exclaimed.
"Will you come tomorrow at 4?" quer
ied Randolph.
"I think I can be there at that time,"
she assented
"So be It then!" declared the artist,
"I would set some other date, but I
suppose you might hesitate to come
alone,' and Mrs. Robbins and a young
relative or friend of hers are to be there
tomorrow. I shall be glad to have a rose
as well as thorns," he added. "Mrs, Rob
bins cannot appreciate art a bit."
His tone was so plaintive that Beatrice
laughed in spite of her knowledge that
the remembrance that Helen had been
his hostess but a few minutes ago
should have restrained him from such a
boorish comment upon her or her opin
ions. But Beatrice also appreciated that
in his remark there lurked a compliment
for herself, and this determined her to
overlook the lack of good form evinced
by her companion. A thrill of personal
pride will do much toward mitigating
one's Indignation at an unkind criticism
uttered about one's friend. .
Chatting lightly of one topic after -another,
the pair strolled along the almost
quiet streets. People who had been to
the theater.8 nd,na4 gone straight home,
were already safely housed, while those
who had lingered sin restaurant or cafe
fpr the after-theater supper In which the
genuine New Yorker delights, had not yet
started upon their' uptown course. So
the residential district of the city was
comparatively deserted, and the pair
walked as slowly as If they had been
pacing the pavement of a quiet country
town. When they reached Beatrice's
door, Randolph handed her Into the ele
vator, bidding her good night with a
courtly bow which bespoke his Parisian
training.
"An revolr," he said. "Until tomor
row." "Until tomorrow," Beatrice replied, as
the elevator door closed, and the car be
gan to ascend, while she, glancing down
as It shot upward, saw him still standing,
hat In hand.
And even as she fell asleep that night
she was still thinking of the morrow. "
The Old Orchard
J
By MIXXA IRV1XG.
Oh. I know an ancient orchard.
Where the trees are all In bloom;
You will find It if you follow
Bee and butterfly and swallow
And t,he wafts of rich perfume.
There the robin builds his dwelling
On a pink and dewy spray;
When the wicket clicks behind you,
Care and pain can never find you,
For the world Is shut away.
Gray the broken fence around It
(Painted by the suns and rains),
But the hand of Time embosses
With the green of velvet mosses
Every picket that remains.
Overhead the apple blossoms
Spread a tent of rosy snow.
Marking off the golden minutes
For the thrushes and the linnets
With the flakes that fall below.
'Tls the orchard of our childhood
Where all day we used to swing,
When the winds were sweet as honey,
And the hours long and sunny
In the bridal bowers of spring.

"And they say that the river cut off

The Making of a Pretty
By MARGARET Hl'BBARD AYER
Most of the pretty girls have been
wearing those fetching turnup hats this
summer, or those nice little bonnets that
shade one's forehead but never keep the
sun off one's nose, and consequently the
summer girl is beginning' to worry about
her tanned skin and very large assort
ment of freckles'. '
Added to these troubles there are varl
ous skin afflictions which generally arise
from the extraordinary collection of
things eaten to coax the summer appe
tite.
A girl will eat quite rationally all dur
lng the winter, but as soon as summer
comes she must depart from her sensible
menu and develop the most outlandish
combinations, washed down with quanti
ties of Iced tea or Iced coffee. One Is as
bad as the other.
Shun greasy food in the summer as you
would the plague. Iced tea is a very
strong stimulant and iced coffee Is com
pletely indigestible, especially if taken
with cream.
In winter if you have eaten not wisely
but too well you may be able to avoid
the consequences, but in hot weather they
are sure to show quite plainly In your
face in disfiguring blotches and eczema.
if there is the slightest tendency to that
trouble.
In the latter ease, and, indeed, where
there is any trouble with the skin, don't
eat salt meat or pork in any. form. In
stead of drinking soda water by the
quantity and then wondering, why you
have no appetite for supper take lemon
ade. Avoid fish, too. and eat. alt the fresh
vegetables that you can get.
For eruptions of the skin generally
especially when It is scaly, use zinc
ointment, which can be had at any
drug store. Five cents' worth will do
to see if it agrees with you. Many of
the skin foods and creams are excel
lent for this trouble. Sometimes It Is
necessary to soften the skin before ap
plying them. Wash the face very care.
fully with a good bland soap and a
Clean cloth. Rinse it thoroughly and
then apply cloths wrung out in very
hot water. The water must be Just
as hot as you can stand it. Lay these
cloths over the face and let them stay
On for ten minutes at least, changing
just as soon as the eloths get cool. After
the skin is thoroughly soffened apply
your cream and the result will be much
more satisfactory than the ordinary application-
.
This treatment should be given at
night. In the morning wipe off the re
maining cream with a soft cloth. Where
there are blackheads the complexion
brush should be used, but do not use
It where there are scales and pimples and
sores. Walt until these have healed.
The best . way to prevent sunburn Is
to cover the faco with a light coat of
cream before going out Any good cream
will do, but there are many which come
especially for this purpose.
Five drops of glycerine to one ounce
of rose water is the ordinary prepara
tion called glycerine and rose water. You
can use plain distilled water if you want
to make the lotion cheaper. Dab this
one the face and then wipe it off In about
five minutes. It often happens that
glycerine does not agree with the akin.
This can only be found out through ex
perience, however.
Where the face is very red from sun
burn and slightiy swollen, make a paste
of buttermilk and cornstarch, and spread

Come, I'll make you glad and free;
Come, and leave the haunts of slaves!
I will press your lips with mine,
Make them pure and sweet with brine;
Smooth the furrows from your face,
Press round dimples in their place!
Coma with mo and you shall share
All my ocen palace fair:
It Is built of pink seashells.
Thro' Its hall for ever swells
Music such as ne'er since birth
You have ever heard on earth
Save that soothing song of rest
Which you heard at mother's breast.
Come, and all your past shall seem
Like a child's distempered dream;
Every hope and pur desire
You shall in my home acquire:
Life shall be an endless Joy,
Pleasures there can never cloy
Come and ' dwell for aye with ma '
