--- PAGE-FOUR ; = ; (By Frances Walter) ARTHUR IS FASCINATED BY EVE- LYN PHILIAPS, (Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate) Everything considered, I could not say that my dinner party was success- ful. Arthur apparently thought it was and so did Miss Phillips, if one could judge from . her manner. Mr. Tomlinson was enjoying himself hugely, for Mr. Edwards had permit- ted himself to become the banker's audience and resigned himself religi- ously to the art of listening through- out the evening. Mr. Phillips seemed to be completely in his element with Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. Tomlinson, and during the discussion of the new styles he was able to give them any number. of suggestions in the way of matching gowns to hats and, shoes to both. How a man employed in the manufacture and sale of munitions of war had managed to accumulate go much knowledge of millinery and wo men's apparel was a mystery to me But the evening was not successful from my point of view. Arthur was having too good a time with Miss Phillips. That was what took me off my mental and temperamental bal- ance. I did not object to Mr. Tomlin- son impressing others with his own importance nor to Mr. Phillips' vast fund of feminine-lore. Mr. Edwards' delight in being talked to by a mil- lionaire did not annoy me in the least, I was glad that they were having a pleasant time, or that they were polite enough to appear to have a nice time of my husband, He had managed to detach Miss Phillips from the 'others early in the evening, and whenever there was a shift which threw them with some one else, either she or Arthur man- aged to find some reason for moving, and the move invariably left them alone until there was another shift. As I looked at him I could pot but remark how different his manner had become. I remembered the long eve- nings he and I had spent together; how silent they were; how gloomy and even morose he had been, and I contrasted those occasions with the present. Why, he seemed to have lost ten years -of his age. He reminded me of the Arthur 1 had known before our marriage. There was fiothing about him to indicate that he had a business care. Everything was for- gotten under the spell which this re- markably beautiful woman was weav- ing about him, Occasionally a few words of their conversation drifted over to me, and I noticed that, no matter what sub- ject they started out to dissect, their talk invariably veerea to the senti- mental. But not so in the case] If. they began te discuss an auto- A AI (Continued from Page 7.) Mrs. L. E.

If the topic was the latest play 1 would overhear Arthur paying Miss Phillips a compliment. This was a dangerous sign. Persons who can- | not discuss a matter such as muni- tions of war without finding out that one has lovely hair and the other a wonderful complexion are on the high road to something closer than mutual admiration. But even while I blamed Arthur for his silliness I found when I look- ed at. Evelyn Phillips, that her at- traction for him was easily explain-! ed. She was of that type which is best described and comprehended in the expression "ravishing." Her eyes were ravishing; her lips--those red, full lips--were more than rav- ishing; her hair, her complexion; her throat and shoulders; the lines of "Low Cost of Living" Menu | -- Menu for Sunday BREAKFAST Oranges Cereal of Chole Waffles and le Syrup Whole Wheat Raisin Bread ' Coffee or Cocon DINNER Beef Broth Braised Young Chicken Sweet Potato Puffs Siring Beans Lettuce With Russian Dressing Orange Mousse Coffee SUPPER Peanut Butter and Cheese Sand. wiches Fruit Toast Cocoanut Cake Tokay Grapes Tea or Mik a ---------- Lettuce with Russian Dressing.

TI could not imagine sach ,a woman not responding to the pas- sion of mankind. There was so much of the animal in her that it seemed to me she would be impelled by the; irresistible force of nature to mate, with the first strong man who came | hin her reach. That she was not nia¥ried was proof' that she had not had the opportunity. 1 mean by that that she must have been kept apart] from men, This suspicion was verified by ! Mr. Phillips the next time he had an opportunity to speak to me. I had formed a dislike for the man the mo- ment I saw him; and as the evening grew older this feeling had changed | to one of disgust. I found this greatly | accentuated now when he drew near me | There was that same smirk on his face that I had noticed at the dinner table when he called my attention to Arthur and his daughter. Sud- denly a wave of nausea swept over me. Was it possible that he was glad Arthur and Evelyn admired each other? Did he even desire. a closer relation to exist between them? Was he the type of man who had risen to his prominence by playing on the weaknessof others? téaspoon dry mustard, % teaspoon of w teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon lemon juice |or vinegar. hite or a pinch of red pepper, ': N Menu for Monday BREAKFAST Oranges Boiled Whele Wheat Cereal, Ma- ple Syrup Bacon and Eggs Milk Biscuit dam or Jelly Coffee or Cocon LUNCHEON OR SUPPER Rice Croquettes Flavored with ent.

Never saw a handsomer couple, did you? First time she ever met a man like Mr Pembroke, and you can see the result." I turned from him without a word. (To be Continued).

To Get Rid of Wrinkles and Bad Complexions ---------------------------------------- It is more important now than dur- ing the period of profuse perspiration, to keép the pores clean. All cosmetics clog the pores. In cool weather this interferés greatly with elimination of wasie material, injuring instead of ald- ing the complexion. Ordinary mercol- ized wax serves all the purposes of creams, powders and rouges, giving far better results, Jt actually peels off an offensive skin, at the same time un- clogging the pores. Minute particles of scarf skin come off day by day, causing not the least discomfort. Gradually the healthy, younger skin beneath peeps out, and in less than a fortnight you have a lovelier complexion than you ever dreamed of acquiring.

December and even later if the wea- ther continues fine. All signs point toward a late and open fall. It is said that thunder and lightning in the fall is a sure forerunner of open weather. This, together with other indications, make the probabilities for an open fall almost certain.
