A LONG TALK.
Chapter 46.
Next day there was no opportunity
to talk with cither Jane or Amy. I: j
was Amy's busiest day; she had ai
morning rehearsal. She was to be In
one of the choruses of "Alda," and was
excited over wearing a long black wig
and. a draped robe of white chiffon and
a jeweled girdle. And Jane had some
laboratory work which took her away
all day and brought her home tired.
Amy came home with her costume,
having begged it from the wardrobe
mistress at the opera house. She put
it on, wig and all, for the family,
glorying in the gaudlness of the great
green jewels that bound her head and
her waist. She darkened her logs with
yellow powder and appeared eo in the
living room, her face and neck and
arms similarly darkened, with black
lines outlining her eyes and extending
from the end of the eye toward the
hair.
"I have made up for an Egyptian
down and play.' She hunted up some j
music rrom tne opera ana put u oeiorG
her sister. And then she danced, a
dance that was not classic, nor Egyp
tian, but that was simply Amy, Intoxi
cated with the joy of 'dressing up."
Mrs. Talbot felt she ought to be
shocked. But somehow she wasn't
She remembered the Greek dance that
had eo shocked her. Yet Amy was as
little dressed now as then but some
how she was not a girl but a picture.
Yet she wanted to talk, and knew
that if she did not have some of all
this mystery cleared up she would not
sleep this night either. Nor did she,
until physical exhaustion triumphed
over nervous excitement.
The day after Jane was home in the
morning. But, still impelled by habit,
"fr Talhnt finished her work first.
Then when the whole house was spot
less and neat as she could desire, she
went into the living room where Jane
sat. at work at the desk.
In spite of all that was on her mind,
she noticed that Jane did not use the
frivolous gay colored quill that stood
in such a dashing way upon the desk.
Jane was working with a' fountain per-,
which, when not in use, was clipped
into the pocket of her tailored blouse.
Even so, when her mind was pre
occupied and troubled, she could not
Kit quietly and talk, without putting
her hands to some useful work. She
got out the darning basket and began
mending a stocking. There was a si
lence while Jane worked quietly. Then,
with an effort
"I I overheard what you and Amy
'were talking of the other night."
The pen stopped, Jane was wonder
ing what they were talking ot. ,Then,
with recollection, the pen dropped and
the girl turned to her mother.
"I heard what Amy said, I didn t
hear you. You were across the room.
Now I want to know all about It. "Why
have you and Amy been deceiving
me?" " , t.
There was pain and agitation in the
old woman's tones and in her face.
the stockings lay neglected in her lap.
Jane's brown eyes never left her
mother's face. She was In the weak
position of not remembering just whpt
had been said, nor knowing just how
much her mother knew. .
"We haven't been deceiving you,
finoiK- "At least, we never
Mil. SC1U "'""." ' ..
meant to deceive you. But well, u
is so hard to explain, mother. ou
wouldn't understand."
. Amy wouldn't understand! How
many times had she heard that phrase
and in how many tones of voice
from young Amy's nervous impatience
to Jane's present tones of tenderness!
Everything began to rebel in her at
once Then the mother remembered
that this was not the way to solve
her problem. .
"Why wouldn't I understand? she
asked, "keeping her voice patient, and
holding back all the anger that was
welling t up within her. f
"You never do, I don't know why,
Jane said, still looking at her mother
with a mixture of tenderness and con
cern. "Sometimes I think you don t
want to understand us, mother. Amy
comes to me with everything, and I
tell her everything, too, and we both
know all the troubles that are worry
ing Luther. But. won Va haven't
meant to keep them from you. Only
we thought It was kinder not to say
anytning Decause you don't under
stand and the thine-s wo talk ahmir
simply hurt your feelings."
, mere was silence. Then
"And we love vroi trtn mnoh in
want to hurt you.'
Anger melted before this. But the
hurt the girls had tried to save their
mother was a thousand times worse
now. And when anger melts .tears
follow. Hot drops rolled from her
eyes down her factfinding a pathetic
channel in the deep wrinkles of her
cheeks.
"I must understand," she began, her
voice uneven with sobs. My children
have grown away from me,, there ways
are not my ways. I can't " she broke
off, unable to continue.
Jane swung around in the chair, one
elbow resting on the desk, and her chin
in her hand. She' stared out of the
window awhile, then she began.
"I'll tell you the whole thing, moth
er." She stopped, wondering how to
put it so this old-fashioned woman
would not te hurt.
Tomorrow Jane's Love.

KENT
ANOTHER CHAT ON FACE
STEAMING
At various times I have talked so
much against face steaming that many
readers think that I do not approve of
it at all. I do approve of it In modera
tion, as I wrote the other day. I do
not approve of steaming the face every
day nor for a long period at a time,
nor holding the face, over very hot
steam. The mild and sensible method
of wringing an old towel from hot
water and holding this over the skin
I think Is quite as effective in opening
the pores. There is no danger of dry
ing the skin too much or of enlarging
the pores by this method.
But if you have a -very bad com
plexion you can steam your face in the
following manner with splendid re
sults: First, rub the skin full of sul
plur ointment ;then, holding a towel
over the head, eo as to keep in the
steam, bend over a basin full of very
hot wa.ter. The heat wil open the
pores and the healing sulplur ointment
will get in its work more effectively
than if you massaged with it This
is particularly good for pimples and
eruptions due to impurities in the
blood. After the steaming wash the
face with hot water and soap, so as to
remove the ointment, then rinse in hot
and cold water.
If you are bothered with blackheads
try this same sort of steaming, but
use a cleansing cream. Rub a Quantity
over the skin first then steam it in for
-several minutes. As the nores oDen
under the action of the heat the cream
works its way in, softens the hardened
mater which forms the blackhead and
cleanses each pore in a way impossible
for soap and water to accomplish.
Incidently these methods of steam
ing do not dry out the skin. But I
only advise them in extreme cases.
One principle that no man can af
ford to neglect is that of always keep
ing his engagements.
If you can be relied upon to do what
you said you would do, when you said
you would do It, your value in any
line Is enhanced thereby. And if you
cannot be relied upon, no amount of
brilliance will make up for that de
ficiency. To keep your dates straight you
need a calendar just as much as you
need a watch.

RECEPTION FOR VETS.
, SOUTH BEND.Dec, 30. Social, pro

planning a reception for all ex-service
men and women who served during
the world war. The reception will
be held ?an. 16.
R. E. H.: A girl 16 years old 5 ft
4 in. should weigh about 120 pounds.
Mary R. R.: Your daily face treat
ment is a good ordinary cleansing
treatment, but if you have blackheads
around the nose you will have to use a
little more than soap and water. You
can use the cleansing cream you have
and wash with hot water and soap or
you can use the blackhead cleansing
powder, a formula for which appears
from time to time in this column.
Over-eating does, indeed, effect the
complexion. No one can have indiges
tion and a clear and healthy skin. The
Mai? A, R: Ton! dally f lecareat
combination of half peroxide and half
ammonia is an excellent bleach for
hairs on the upper lip.
All Inquiries addressed to Mrs.
Forbes in care of the "Beauty Chta"
department will be answered in these
columns in their turn. This requires
considerable time, however, owing: to
the great number received. So, if a
personal or quicker reply is desired, a
stamped and self-addressed envelope
must be enclosed with the question.

rior. trc Thomnsnn: 1 have been
going with several young men. The
one I like the best has proposed to
me and now we are engaged. My par
ents object to the engagement because
he is not making enough money to sun
them. Ho did make good money, but
now he Is only working half time and,
of course, we cannot get married un
til he is in a better position to do so.
He told me that he was so afraid one
of the other fellows would get me
that he couldn't wait to ask mo to
marry him. He is 26 and I am 23.
Do you think I should break my en
gagement from the man I love simply
because he is not making a lot of
money? It is very nice to feel that
there is only one man in the world for
me "ami now when the others call up
and ask me to go somewhere 1 can
tell them no. DOUBTFUL.
1 do not think you should break your
engagement. Worthy men from coast
to coast are 'linancially depressed at
present. Many of them will work
faithfully when they have the chance
to work, and after conditions become
more favorable they will again make
xood salaries. You are old enough to
decide this matter for yourself.
