1 Apeaze ts There‘s A Reason For Most Styles Some of our everyday garmonts have had romantic stories. Becarso a wealthy Parisian of the eleventh century had a painful corn, he ordered his shoemaker to make him a pair of extremely long shoes. The fashion caught on amd remained in style for quite a long time. Physicat failings have often ruit ed fashions. Long skirts came in when the daugshter of Louis XI wished to hide her fest, which she regarded as outsize. The ladies of the Court followed the fashion, even if the cause was missing. ORIGIN OF CRINOLINE Crinolines, arose from the fact that the hips of a Spanish Infanta didn‘t match. To hide this, she ordered a hooped skirt â€" and all the othor ladies wanteod one! Fichâ€" us grew out of the lace scarf which a lady friend of Frances I draped round her neck to disguise its thinâ€" ness. The fashion was so becoming that it specdily swopt the French Court. Your Mouth Tells Plenty About You In many different ways your mouth tells things about you. To begin with. its shape and size, the kind of lips it has, betray all manâ€" ners of secrets. Everyone knows, for instance, that a mouth which turns up at the corners belongs to a cheery, larghing soul. while onre which droops denotes a pessimistic naâ€" ture. If the lips just curve down slightlyâ€"not cnoush to be called a droop or sagâ€"they indicate an earnest, gcricus and rather sad perâ€" son. Consider the color of the mouth when it is clear of lipstick. Are your lips pale compared with the rost of your coloring? If so, you are rather calm, quiet and unemoâ€" tional, steady and a bit of a plodâ€" dor. Pink lips are nice to havo, showing a symphathetic, pleasant and affectionate personality. Chil dron and some older people have attractive, definitely red mouths, betraying that they are excitable, enthusiastic and fond of change. They have plenty of energy but not quite enough staying power. Ara your lips thin or full? If thin and pressed together, you have gocd business abilities and can make money but might be more affoctionate. With full lips, you are going to be fond of comâ€" fort, easyâ€"going. loving pleasure love intensely. Lips of medium thickness belong to a levelâ€"headed person who can be devoted to one or two people ouly. and somewhat cold towards the rest of the world. The size of the mouth is imporâ€" tant. If small, it shows re{inement, a good memory. attention to detail but some fussiness and discontent. A medium sizs mouth indicates a good amount of energy and gemerosityâ€"on occasion. She with the large mouth will always be generous and extravagant, full of activity and tolerance. Ann â€" Morriss demonstrates how she gives herself a home manicure and keeps her nails and hands in good condition. In applying polâ€" ish, Miss Morriss makes one short even stroke across nail, outlining the haif moon, then three even strokes from moon to tip across Many of Our Everyday Garâ€" ments Have a Romantic Origin â€" Physicat Failings Often Responsible for Certain Fashions Open or Closedâ€"Its Size and Shape Reveal All Manner of Secrots CAST OF CHARACTERS SALLY BLAIR â€"â€" heroine. She had everything that popularity could win her, except DAN REYNOLDS â€" hero. _ He might have had Sally but while he was king on skis CHAPTER XXIH If thero was a more beautiful world than that of snowâ€"bound Lake Placid, Sally had never seen it. Great blueâ€"white mountain peaks pierced with the deep azure of the sky, pine trees formed tall black regiments, frosted fields shimmerâ€" ed like miles ard miles of silvered gavze; the lake itsoif wore a dull glazed sheon. The crowd was exceodingly gay and smart, lovely girls in all manâ€" ner of sport outfits; rugged, handâ€" some men in ski sweators and knickers. None handsomer, or more attentive than Corey; no girl more strikingly beautiful than _ Sally Blair,. Again heads turned as they passed by, skating arm in arm, or carrying skis and poles; again peoâ€" ple remarked what a fineâ€"looking couple they made. "That‘s Sally Blair," someone would say. "Reâ€" membor, she was Queen of the Dartmouth Carnival last year!" Or, "That‘s Corey Porter with her. His father is the millionaire, He and Sally are engaged, you know." COREY POR.ER was kirg of the social whirl. So . .. But go on with the story. Last week: Corey pians to take Sally to a Lake Placid ski jump and Sally faces the ordeal thinking it may put Dan out of her heart forâ€" ever. Looking at them anyone mighi be envious. They had everything. this young couple, good looks, and health, and money to burn â€"â€" and love. The world was all theirs. Or so it seemed. No one could guess that this particular world, in Sally‘s thoughts, belonged jusi to one perâ€" son. A boy who this time last year had been king of them all in this world of his. A boy whose memory was stingingly potent, achingly everâ€"present as Sally skated and skiod, flirted and laughed, pretencâ€" ing to be as say, as happy as the old Sally Blair. SKI CONTEST The day after the arrival of Corey and his party there was to be a contest. "It‘s a sort of unofficial tryâ€" out for the Olympics, I understand," Corey said. "I believe there will be contestants from everywhere. It ought to prove interesting. We ought to go and watch it." The Olympics that Dan, this time last year, had hoped to make. That he world have achieved, surely, had it not been for Sally. That he had said, one day beside a brook in the spring, he would one day try out for again. But of course Dan would not be trying out here. Sailly did not even know where he was. What had beâ€" come of him. She told herself she did not care. "Of course we‘ll go," she said to Corey. "I wouldn‘t miss it for anything." No matter how much it might make her remember. She had asked for it, hadn‘t she? She wauted to be thoroughly cured of all memories forever. That next day could not have besn more perfect.

As had been said of him, no one could begin to match him in any event. Dan carried off honors in all of them, jumping, downâ€"trail, and last of all â€" and as Sally had thought before, that other time when sho had watched him â€" most beautiful of all, too, the slalom race. TO CONGRATULATE THE CHAMP "I want to congratulate him," Sally said atfer it qras all over and Dan was the center of an admiring group. "I want to go over and say ‘hello‘ to Dan, Corey." She had to do that; just as she had had to meet Dan after she first had seon him that long ago day. Nothing on earth could have kept Sally from meeting Dan then. Nothing could keep her from going to him cow. If sho closed her eyes Sally alâ€" most could have imagined that someone of the contestants might have been Dan. But none of them, she told herself, sizing up their perâ€" formances, could equal him. B sides, she wovuld not close her eyes. She would not think of Dan. Not any more. Not here where it seemâ€" ed as though she could not keep from thinking of him every minute. Where, in spite of all stern resoluâ€" tions, all laughter and pretense, that old familiar ache weighed down on her again. There were several events schedâ€" uled, langlauf, or crossâ€"country, jumping and downâ€"hill, a slalom course with its flags forming gates and zigzag flushes for an obstacle race. "Why, look . .. who‘s that?" someone in Corey‘s party asked, even as Sally Blair had voiced just the same question over a year ago. Everyone was looking up at the figâ€" edge of the steep drop, making ready for the jumip, the swift, downâ€" ward flight. A figure that made it so gracefully, so effortlessly, that it was sheer joy to watch the symâ€" motrical beauty of movement. Sally had no need to ask who it had been. She knew before she heard the answer. There was only one person who could ski as that boy had, commanding such tribute. But it could not â€" it simply could not be Dan! She dared not believe her eyes, though she had not closâ€" ed them. She dared not believe the hammering of her heart that yot could not be denied. the sky, the scone like a carnival with its hundreds of rainbowâ€"hued spectators at the foot of the mounâ€" tain where the contest would ake place. The dazzling sweep oi white snow, the high, winding, smooth downâ€"trail. "That‘s Dan Reynolds," someone else in the crowd said. To which another made response. "Yes; he‘s the most promising runnerâ€"up for the Olympic choice. There‘s no one who can match him," "Did you know Dan would be here?" Sally asked Corey in a low tons. Her eyes wore a dangerous bright look; the warm color flooded her lovely face, as she turned to him. "I did not," Corey said. That was a bad break for him. If he had dreamed Reynolds would enter this meat he never would have planned this party or brought Sally here. Though maybe it was just as well, at that. "Doos it make any differâ€" ence if he is here, my sweet?" Corâ€" ey asked lightly. "None whatever!" Sally said. The Sally who wore Corey‘s ring underâ€" neath her furâ€"lined mitten; who claimed she no longer believed in the existence of a person named Dan. But that other Sally, whose heart pounded so madly now, said it made all the difference in the world, in all of the worlds in the universe, in fact. HE HAD WON Yes, even if that Sally was dead. If the newâ€"old Sally never saw him again. Dan had won; he had licked the things that had tried to bost him. Dan was King of the skis as he always had been. Ohb, it was very difficult not to believe in a boy who had done what this boy had! Corey glanced at her, his blue eyes narrowed,. "It won‘t do any good," he said, even as he had said that other time. ‘"Dan proved he didn‘t want anything to do with us, Sally. He took himselft out of our world. Why go back into his?" "That has nothing to do with it," Sally said. "You‘re not afraid to go, are you, Corey?" This brought an angry flush to Corey‘s fair cheeks, a quick denial that was almost toc ready.

Speech Can Be Remain Simple As scon as she bhas eliminated hard tones from her voiceâ€"simpâ€" ly by learning to keep her tonâ€" gue, throat and jaw relaxed and to pause for breath between senâ€" tencesâ€"the woman‘ who is deterâ€" mined to speak charmingly reâ€" solves to improve her diction. Voice teachers agree that perâ€" fect speech is not marred by co:â€" loquialisms, and is simple and unâ€" affected, of course. Fancy speech is never pleasanc. Don‘t say ‘"I retired" instead of "I went to bed." "Or I desire to purchase" when you mean . "I want to buy." Or "I attended the theatre" instead of "I went to the theatre" or "I went to a show." If you are a broad "A" addict, do be consistent. <If you say "can‘t" with a broad "A" other times, you‘ll be laughed at. Unless you were brought up in a broadâ€" Aâ€"speaking family or have been using the broad "A" since you were no more than ten, better forget about it. Because naturalâ€" ness is the keynote of effective speech. There‘s a perfume in a flower That‘s sweeter than its beauty There‘s a _ standard_ gleaming THE BROAD "A" IS A STICKER There‘s a note in every song That‘s sweeter than the rest, There‘s a moment in each day That is divinely blest.

But not for the reasons that Sally thought. "Come on, then," Sally said. Her reasons were different from what Corey might have supposed, too.

This will prove to be a lot less expenâ€" sive than it looks and will give your studio a fresh,. airy atmosâ€" phere during hot weather. To make narrow windows appear wider, buy. curtain rods some inches longer than the actual window width so that the curtains will fall over the wall as well as over the window. And don‘t skimp on curâ€" tain material. Full, ample folds of the right length for your window, give a luxurious effect. A summer touch can be added to the dining room, without detracting too much from its dignity, by makâ€" ing curtains and chair seat covers of lightweight materials. Some of this season‘s handsome cotton or silk plaids or candy stripes would be an excellent choice, On these, of course, a tailored corded finish would be most satisfactory. By SADIE B.

One decorator feels that every room should have a touch of red somewhere in itâ€"just as every lady should have her lipstick. Turâ€" quoise pottery also has a way of perking a room up effectively. Copper trays and jugs can make a mighty big splash for small expense; so can brass and pewâ€" ter. A TIP TO THE AMATEUR Actually most homeâ€"makers are scared to death of bright colors, but here is a tip on how to get away with bright colors in decorâ€" ations. The amateur is safer to try just one really scintillating color in a roomâ€"such as brilliant cerise in a room that‘s otherwise mostly in shades of greys. Or emerald green to ccunterâ€"balance the deadening effect of the allâ€" taupe room, or with gradations of beige to brown. Lapis Lazuli blue is lovely with dusty pinks and roseâ€"beiges. A tonic for a house that‘s dull and uninteresting, is a flash of bright cclor. And an inexpensive one, for, of course, color is the cheapest ingredient. If you can‘t afford to work out these ideas in any really moâ€" mentous changes, you can create quite a change of scene by makâ€" ing fresh lamp shades and cushâ€" ions, adding new curtains even if they‘re made of inexpensive maâ€" terials framing a few bright prints, buying some new pieces of pottery. ; Babies Have Fun In Unique Way When a doctor asked through the American Medical Associaâ€" tion‘s journal, for advice on how to stop a baby from getting on his hands and knees and rockâ€" ing in his cradle "with such force that the bed made a great deal of noise," he was told, in effect, to skip it. This baby also had a habit of bumping his head on the head board, without injurâ€" ing himself, until he fell asleevn. ‘"‘There seems to be no good reason why an effort should be made to break the habit of bed rockirg or head banging," the Joarnal advised. "Just why these habits develop is not known. Igâ€" noring them usually causes their disappearancees."
