"Here to the right we have the recum bent figures of the Earl of Shrewsbury 1 and his lady. You will notice they are carved In wood and overlaid with metal. The feet rest on a lion, a symbol of power." And the verger in bis long black robe ' moved on to the ' next tomb, while the little group of tourists with their Baedekers and note followed t f ' 1 books eagerly. "We have here one of the rtjost in teresting " m o n u ments in the Abbey the duchess of Gloucester. Her ' husband was smoth ered . at Calais by order of Richard 11. The canopy, as well as. the figure, you- will bbserve,' Is' of brass. We how approach the tomb of Henry VM." "He was a cold-blooded old ,cuss," whispered -Warren.. .' ; .i-s' "' '' :' "Qh, hush-Bh, dear." pleaded Hqlen, who was in constant terror of Warren's irreverent comments. "They will heal you." Then- why did you want to tag along with this bunch? I'd rather walk through and see things myself than to be mouthed at .by that old boy:" - " . , , . many things. Listen:" ': ' ".Nowf'we com to the 'tomb of Edward I. As you see, it is simply a slab without an effigy. The body was recently found to be in remarkably good preservation, with a crown of gilded tin on the head and a sceptre In the hand." ..... ; Warren " nudged Helen with a whis pered, "Do they dig Jem up .every now and then to see how they're keeping?" "If you will kindly step that way, you will now observe before you the shrine of Edward the Confessor," ' After briefly calling their attention, to the despoiled splendor of this tomb and th crumbling iron-bound coffin, within, the berger led the way to the nest chapeL C t I J ' ; " But Helen lingered to gate a moment longer at this ancient sepulchre standing In the gloomiest . and most impressive part of the abbey. " In the dim light which. struggled through the high stained lass windows she could hardly trace the flures on- thft stone arches. . All about lay molderlng atone effigies of knights and warriors, some In their full suits of armour .with hands piously folded, others kneeling in the supplication of prayer. Helen longed to stay and drew In this atmosphere of the past, but Warren was now beckoning to her. In the id Joining chapel the verger was standing before a large oanopled tomb. "This ..requmbent figure (is , Thomas Clcll, the earl of Exeter. The lady' who Ilea beside him on his right Is his first Vifei The space on bis left was in. tended for his second' wife, but that lady declined to accept, the. inferior, place of honor." '; . , .' - - , ' ' . ' , ; "Spunky old girl!" was Warren's com ment. , "How dreadful,." , whispered Helen imagine any man wanting two -wive carved on' his tombstonel" "Well, they weren't overburdened with delicacy in those days." "Now, ladles and gentlemen," the verger- turned and addressed them, "we have finished with the royal chanela, noting the tombs of must interest. , Tho3e who wish to linger here may do so.". -"Are you Expected to tip this old skater" asked Warren. ' "Oh, of course not! Why be must be a sort of curate look at his robe. . He'd be insulted at a tip!" "Don't know about that. Haven't found anybody over here yes that you i-onMn't tin." - - ' Then to Helen s amazement ' as the group passed out several coins were slipped into the verger's hands, and ' he received them most graciously. "Didn't seem exactly Insulted, did he?" chuckled Warren as he drew out a shlH-fns-L ' "Do let's stay here a. little longer," begged Helen. "I should love to so bsck again through Henry VII's chapel." ' -i "No you don't! I've Kid enough dead kings fcr one day. If you've got to ss the "poets' corner,' all right But that's all Til stand for." ' : , Thev nad?-the!r way back to'he south transept, then through to the poets' . corner.-"'' " ' ' '..-. "Oh, do you know what I want to see first?" asked - Helen eagerly. "That monument of Gray's, You've heard that mocking couplet about 'Life's a Jest.' Tve forgotten how it goes but it's very Irreligious. I've always wondered If it really was on his tomb. Let's look it Up now." ' ' . . "If it's here, we'll come across it. Bet ter take them-in order that's the only way to see anything. There's Garrlck'a monument. That's Impressive. Yes, that's a mighty fine piece of work." It waa Warren's first real approba tion, and Helen looked at : it with much interest. Garrick was represented as stepping out from behind a curtain which he opened with extended arms.. . They Walked on through the dusky aisles lined with tombs. .Many were crowded back in darkened niches, but each stone bore a famous name. "Why, Warren, here's a bust of Lpng fellow. -. I didn't know h was burled here." "He's not. -A monument In this place doesn't always mean the man's planted under it Here's' John Gray Is that the guy ypu wanted?" - - . ..-. . '"Oh, yes," yes. That's it." excitedly, "and .Kere'a. thef inscription.'- She leaned over and read it aloud: " Odfe's a Jest; and all things show It!' I thought so once, but I now I know it' " . "Cheerful sentiment," remarked War ren. - ." "Why, It's sacrilegious! I shouldn't think they'd allow it in here. Let's see what Baedeker says about it." "For heaven's sake put that away. We're here now to see the abbey. ' You can read Baedeker's dope when you get home. Her's a nice moldy old tomb of Chaucer. I took a dislike to that gentle man whenthey made me read his 'Can terbury Tales' at school." " 'O rare Ben Johnson,'" read Helen from a ..tablet "Is this the one " "Of dictionary and .Cheshire cheese fame? No," that was Samuel. You've got a fine memory." Helen had now paused before the im pressive statute of Shakespeare. ' ' "Gulielmo Shakespeare Anno Post Mortem CXXIV ' , Amor Publicus Posuit." "Why, Warren. I though Shakespeare's first name was William. "Yes, I had that Impression myself." "Well, what does this mean 'Gulielmo' Shakespeare? It that Latin for William?" But Warren, who. would never admit ho did not know, Ignored the, question by passing on to the tomb of Addison. The same group of sightseers who had been with them in. the royal chapels now entered the poets' corner. "Let's get out of here. can't stand for that bunch again. Time to go, any way It's after S o'clock." "But . Warren, there's one more thing we must see that tomb of Lady Night ingale's. The one with the skeleton of death coming out from the vault. It won't take a moment'" ' "Well, how're you going to" find It?" Impatiently..:; : :.' . But Helen was already . hastily turn ing through her Baedeker, while he watched her seowlingly. b "Here it Is in the Chapel of St. John the Evangelist" ; Then, turning to a map of the Abbey, "That's in the North Transept"- They found the tomb, and Helen gared at it with breathlets awe. From the gaping vault' beneath a half shrouded skeleton was about to launch his spear at the dying woman, while the husband tried to shield her shrinking figure in his arms. "Oh, tha('s wonderful!" murmured Helen. "As you look at It, she seems to cling closer to him!" The sentiment of the group appealed Strongly to Helen, and she pictured the young wife and the lovs of the husband who had erected this to her memory. ' "It msy be very fine," admitted Warren, "but Is deuced gruesome. Come on now here's the way out." . At the great arched doorway Helen turned back for a last look at the Ab bey.1 ',. " . : The shadows bad deepened in the high vaults overhead, and now only the faint est light filtered through, the stained glass windows. There was a sound of far-off chant'ng and from a distant chafol came the white-vested figures of choir boys, winding their way through the dark aisles up to the candle-lit altar. Outside the "spell of It all was still over Helen, and Warren's Irreverent com ment about the "moldy old pile" not be ing a particularly 'cheerful apot" did not grate on her, for she hardly heard it She was thinking of what the Abbey would be like at night, of the darkness and stillness and the generations of the lead.

Beauty Secrets of Footlight Favorites 2 Eyebrows and Eyelashes Aids to Good looks. . By AMY WEBB. When, I was a little girl it worried me greatly because my eyebrows' and eye lashes were so very light , and so faint (hat they were barely perceptible. I must have looked like an animated question mark, for. nothing "makes the face look so lnquif:lve, not to say foolish a extremely light and faint eye brows, and while it's all right in a child, it becomes very distressing as one gets older. So one day In real despair, I set to work and clipped such meager eyebrows as I had and cut them off completely. Then I got a little girl friend to cut off my eyelashes, too, because I had read somewhere that that would make them grow. . ' Nobody noticed that' anything especial had happened to my appearance until it suddenly dawned upon the family at the supper table that I had lost my already slended claims to good looks, and that they had been sacrificed upon the altar of early vanity. ' What Is the use of remembering past scoldings? I got a very good one, which I remember to this day. Also' my, eye lashes did not come In for a long timo. and finally J had to be taken to a doctor, and salve , was applied every night to make the hair grow. Sometimes the salve got into my eyes and made them smart, and at all events the performance made an lndelllble impression on my memory, so I have come to think nice eyebrows and eyelashes quite Invaluable to good looks. As clipping them proved perfectly use-1 less, In my case, I doubt if it Is of any use at all, though I know It Is frequently recommended. However, If the eyebrows are too scant, a little vaseline will gen erally make them grow, and so will halt tonlo if you use it regularly. Many people would have beautiful eye brows if they only took a little care of them, and I often wonder why It is that girls who want to be pretty don't pa more attention to this very Important feature. . : In the first place there are the eye brows, which look dirty and untidy, be cause there Are tiny -particles of dan druff In them.' I think this can be all removed if the eyebrows are scrubbed out every day, using the nail brush and soap Another thing that I t nd most un pleasant to look at are the wild-looking eyebrows which one sees even cm young gtr;s. These look as if they need brush ing1 and combing, sometimes even braid ing; they are so wild looking and course No one has to be Inflicted with even brows like this. The course hairs can b pulled out and the eyebrows trained into better behavior by brushing them onct a day with a tiny brush dipped In olive oil or cocoanut oil. Brushing is very good for the eyebrows and one can give them a nice Shape and make them look neat and prettily arched s'mpiy by using a brush and a little oil The long, straight, archlesa, narrow and delicate, pencilled eyebrow, was the old ideal, but the modern eyebrow, at least the one which pur modern artists like Christy, Gibson, James Montgomery Flagg and Hutt draw on their pretty girls, Is not,, the straight kind, but the hlghtly arched brow. ?f you can make your eyebrows look as If they were very far away from your eyes, the eye will look larger and the face more refined. MISS AMT WEBB. . (A Zlegfeld beauty in the "Winsome Widow" Co.) When the' eyebrows afe very' scant, it Is usually a sign of poor health, dxcept in red-haired persons. These scant eye brows can be so strengthened by constant brushing and they can be made to look darker by combing them with soapy watej and letting the soap dry on them. A great many people have eyebrows that meet over Jhe bridge of the nose. This Is supposed to be the sign of a jealous or melancholy disposition. I suppose if you can't change your dis position It would do no harm, to take away the guide post and pull out those quite superflous hairs. Eyebrows can be trimmed Into almost any shape wtth a little 10 cent pair of tweesers, and there is no reason why one should allow them to grow across the nose or to scatter, as they sometimes do, right In the middle of the arch. Very few girls have the pencilled eye brow, which . Is supposed to be such a natural -beauty. More of them have eyebrows that are made with a pencil, and . look it. It is really not necessary to color the eyebrows artificially, unless they are absolutely white, or flax blond then they can sometimes be darkened by brushing them with strong, black tea. Let the tea get Just as dark as possible-, have eyebrows clean and free from grease, and brush the tea over them. Massaging the eyebrows, pinching them and kneading the flesh beneath with the forefingers and thumb will often stimu late the growth and is another way of making the line shapely. I think that many girls make a great mistake when they pencil an otherwise fine line of eyebrow, making It darker and thicker. These thick lines not only look artificial, but they take away from the refinement of the face and make It look coarse and heavy. For myself, I cultivate my eyebrows with a tiny little brush dipped in glycer ine and rosewater, half and half. I would no more think of going on the street with out brushing my eyebrows than I would go out with my hair untidy, or my shoes not polished, for I believe that the eye brow has so much to do with making the face pleasing and attractive, and espe cially in making one look tidy and well drersed. r ; Remedy.

M : ! Well, now they've got it Into a song "I want a girl Just llke the girl that married dear old dad." I heard It at the picture show the other day, and It made me Just the least bit cross. I've heard them say It the young fellows time and again, and laughed to hear it, for of course It isn't true, not a word of It, though I suppose they think It 1. poor young gumps. And now they've taken to singing about' It liCt'i get together and talk It over and see just how much truth there Is In it after all. Tou want a girl Just like the girl that married dear old dad, do youT A nice, quiet, modest girl who stay at home and helps mamma; a little mouse of a girl without .a thought outside of the house and the yard, gate. A domestlo angel ready to ait up all night with a sick baby and be up at dawn to get break fast for father, with a smite on' her lips and a song in her heart A girl who .can mend a torn coat so that you couldn't see the darn, a girl who wouldn't miss' a prayer meeting to save her life. A girl with a genius for cooking and a talent for children and a gift for managing, A girl who can put up fruit and make pickles and keep the bills down and never turn a hair when you bring home three great hulks of hungry men to dine with out a word of notice. , , . An economical girl, a girl who can make over her Sunday black suit three times and have it turn out prettier the last time than It was the first. A pretty girl, with her own hair and her own figure and 'her own blush just such a girl as you see on the cover of the old fashioned handkerchief boxes with a laoe scarf over her head and a canary perched on her pointed figure. ' - Tes, we've all heard about that kind of a girl and a mighty nice kind of girl she seems to have been, too, In her day but how about the man 1 who went with her, What's become of him? The man who saved his salary for the house furniture Instead of spending it for moving picture shows and pool tick eti. The man who stayed at home and helped his mother to do the dishes; the man who hurried back from the office to get in the kindling wood; the man with the one new suit a year - and the ear muffs and the wrlsters. The man with Just one ambition on earth up to the time he was 1 a red-wheeled, buggy, a whip with a red ribbon around It, and a moon light night to take his girl out "buggy riding." The man .who "settled down" when he married and stayed settled; the man who never went a step outside the hous without his wife any more than he'd g-" without his shoes. The man who- tootc.; turns walking the floor with the baby the man who sat up with his sick mother)--i In-law, and the man who slept out In" the bam when his wife's folks name itf visit andl filled up an the bedrooms.

Fair Lillie's smiles were full of wiles, Ann won my near completely. I lasted In the sunshine Of nor friendship given' sweetly. ' But when she found 'twas time I had To spend. Instead of money, By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. : The. contents of my cup of joy 1 Were changed to gull from honey. ' . Though once my wit had made a hit And roused her girlish glee. -Her mirth refused to be enthused, ( She laughed not with, but at me. "Thomas F the author of thle un happy little poem. , adds a postscript in which he suggests that his sad experi ence has undoubtedly been the experience of other poor, but honest chaps. Also that "though capable of sitting up alone wtth his dead." he wishes for the sake of other men that this little "obituary to his love for Lillian" be published. The request of poor Thomas is granted in the hope that Its publication Will do more than warn other meA against IJ1 I tee. That it may make him realise when he sees the poem In black and white what a very poor poet he Is. With this realisation may come the more' important one. That he has been wasting his time. ' ; ' He wasted time in making love when he had no financial resources; be wasted more time In writing a poem about It. Now that he has had the experience ot having "lasted In the sunshine of her friendship," and knows the bitterness of being laughed at, Inatead of with, he should put the Incident out of mind and go to work. He may resent this, and claim he Is working now. I have his own poem to prove that he isn't, for "when she found 'twas time 1 hed to spend. Instead of money," tells a tale of Idleness; of love making when one should be at work, of iazytng In the sunshine of a girl's friend' ship when one should be working in tht sunshine sent fro above.". ; No wonder she laughed at, instead of; with him. Every girl should laugh at theT man who doesn't make effort to turpi his time Into money. , And the iauglt should have enough of contempt.
