little as a quarter of an inch either shorter or
longer makes all the difference between dowdi-
ness and smartness. Every woman has one spot
on her legs that makes the perfect place for her
skirts to end. Only she or one experienced in
6kirt lengths can say just where that point is
but every girl must find it.
The one great beauty advantage of short
skirts was the suggestion of youth which they
imparted. More than one pair of slightly knocked
or bowed leg3 were forgiven because of the
blessed illusion of youth that the wearer pre-
sented with her knee-length skirts. But longer
skirts unless they are of the bouffant toach-the-
floor type make every woman seem a few years
older. Consequently she must make up in actual
beauty and charm tor what she gains in age.

Although Cartagena is a growing

Leather ateliers are putting the
ball and chain on handbags. It is
not unlikely that the new tailored
costumes will be slaves to this nest
manner of handling decoration. Three
bags of fine calf captivated me. and
I realized there was no getting away
from the fact that the gold chain
dropping two halls of the bright
metal was smart ornamentation.
Thn chain was attached to a gold
clasp on the flap of the bag that was
of generous envelope proportions. A
strap handle made a "get away” of
this type of bag extremely difficult.

Beauty has learned how swiftly the dark clouds of mis-
understand.ng can obscure the golden sun that over Lome’s
kingdom. But she has made up her mind that the first word to
heal the breach will not come from her. ev#n if ?he has been at
fault. And her Beloved feels that if they are both to know ever-
lasting happiness Beauty must abide by his decisions when they
are for their common good. And so hitter thoughts take the place
of rapturous reveries and plans for the glad future.
Love pleads for a chance to make life once more a golden
dream for h:s two young friends. His lilting voice sounds in
their hearts and they his smile through tear-dhnmed eyes.
Gently he tr!ls them how ea.-y it is to destroy a lifetime of happi-
ness through the blow of stinging words.
But somehow he knows that he will be victorious that before

golden light that can be kindled alone by the fires of love.

speak for a minute which seemed an
hour while I kept my eyes averted
from hla face and hardly dared to
breathe.
For I knew what a tremendous
struggle was going on within him.
and though I did not doubt the out-

his emotions and wished that I could
efface myself from the landscape.
But when at last he spoke his voice
was even controlled and as I looked
at him I saw that his face and evee
were calm and his lips held the
wraith of a amile. He had conquered
himself thoroughly—that was plainly
to be seen. Whatever he meant to

steadily quietly with no outward

Overcome the
! Handicap of
Defects
Health Education Can Do Much
in Lessening Numbers of
Those Suffering Deformities.
By R. S. COPELAND M. D.
U. 8. Senator from New York.
Former Commissioner of Health
yew York City.
.. — "
IT is a sad fact that many little
children suffer from deformi-
ties of one kind and another.
They are of a more or less serious
nature of course. But it is our
duty to find
preventive
measures and i
the public must I
be educated to "
the possibili- ^
ties of lessen-
ing the large
numbers of
cripples in our
midst.
Much can be
done and is
being done to 4
help these un- I
f o r tu n a tea. ■
The most im-
portant work
lies in prevent
DR. COPELAND
ing deformities among children.
Hospitals are built for crippled
Children and are doing a wonder-
ful work in overcoming deformi-
ties. A list of the measures used
in this line of work shows the won-
derful advance science has made
for the benefit of the cripple.
There are several classes of crip-
pled children:
First there are the children who
are bom with some deformity.
This may be a clubfoot or hand.
It may be a harelip or cleft palate.
It may be a dislocation of a bone.
If these defects can be taken
at once after birth in a large ma-
jority of cases they are easily cor-
rected. Every mother of a little
cnppled child should know this.
Another cause of children’s de-
formities is rickets Thi3 is a dis-
ease caused by undernourishment.
The child has insufficient l.me in
his food to supply the bones. He
may not be getting enouga sun-
light to excite the physical ma-
chinery that supplies the lime.
Tuberculosis of the bone is an-
other cause for deformities in chil-
dren. It too is associated with
lack of sunshine and is promoted
by unhygienic living
' Milk from tubercular cows will
carry this disease to the human
being. Either pasteurized or cer
tified milk should he given chil-
dren. Good food and sunshin« tro
far towards the prevention of tins
disease.
Infantile paralysis adds to the
crippled list. About 40 per cent
come from this cause. Deformity
from this disease can be prevented
or greatly lessened if taken in time.
Rest good food and the be.t of
care are needed.
Accidents to children of school
age are increasing at an alarming
rate. Safety-first principles are
being taught everywhere. IWd
(must be given to nil preventive
measures to save children from ac-
cident and d^ath from bodily suf-
fering and mental anguish.

"And why can't you?"
“H’m—we have no guns."
"And. besides there la nothing to

late to go to Africa" said Hanld.
"You don't need a gun and you
don't have to go to Africa. There’s
plenty to hunt right In this room."
"Where?” they cried all at one*.
"Sh—h. not so loud. Come In closer
and I’ll whisper. Do you see tha

swimming on top of the water is a

Crawl up very quietly and sprinkle
a few grains of salt on Its tail. That
Is all there Is to It. Then bring It
back here and 1*11 show you how to

It sounded like an excellent plan.
They decided to begin the hunt at

“How will you get the salt on Its •

Still the duck didn’t move.
•'If mu* be deaf.” said Knarf In

And before they could stop him he
plunged into the water. In three!

when he came to sprinkle the saJt on
Its tall he found It was gone for th* 1
water had melted It.
"Anyway it was only a celluloid .
