Polly Does Penance for Her Sins of Frivolity
1'atty:
I am doing penance. I am wearing
gingham gowns and my old straw bat.
and walking In the straight ami narrow
way. Penny came back from Atlantic
City Just in time to meet me in transit
with the Young Man in Tweeds. Only
he had on a Tuxedo and a top-Coat, and
serried a silk hat In his hand.
IVnny Btopped and starred at us. And
le stared lack. And then she said. In ner
miriest manner: "How-de-do. Margaret."
.-hp n'Vtr calls me Margaret unless she
neans to nay Minx. And I said. Jauntily:
Hey. there!" and gave her my sweetest
Ftr.ile, nnd Introduced the New Man.

steps, and he said to me. in his slow, de
lightful, charming. English kind of voice:
(Jetting cooler, hey?"
We had a perfectly gorgeous evening,
d.i ner at the Rltz, a play afterward, an J
I let myself in the front door at eleven
p. m., sharp, only to find Nemesis waiting
fr me, in the guise of Penny, sitting
cross-legged on the hall bench, looking
as disagreeable an possible. 1
"I hope you enjoyed yourself, galllvat
irg about with Gilded Youth.' There
was scorn In her voice.
"Oh. IS HE. Penny?" I had been won
dering. "Is he!' Did you ever hear of a Van
Dervent who wasn't? Take my advl.-e
and run with your own crowd, Margaret.
J did think you hau some sense.'
"But he is a perfect dear," I said.
"And he knows lots of people I know.
Hj Is a Harvard man. And besides be
saved my life."
"Saved Fiddlesticks!"
What Penny knows about Harvard men
anJ the Gilded Touth of Gotham couldn't
be set down In the small space given to
these letters. She talked far Into the
night, and I left her. looking most un
comfortable, on the bench, like a dis
agreeable Judge, and still talking.
So I have folded away my chiffon gown
and put by my nobby hat and I am
thiowisTg myself Into the delineation of
dcmsels, who wear all the pretty things
that I should like to wear and do all the
things that I should like to do. For I have
a new Job, an annex to my old one, as It
were. I not only draw my pretty ladies,
but I tell about them. too. I describe
their lovely gowns, and where they have
worn or are going to wear them. Some
descriptions they are, too!
I read about t(mtn the other day who
was told to wfite a Paris letter, and said
he had never been to Parte, whereupon
his managing editor told him that was
tho reason h wanted him to write It
ho would have no limitations. "Well, I
have found there is something In that.

beautiful time, and if I sketch In young
men In tweeds or wearing tuxedos and
sad smiles, no one senses that tragedy

quite Interested In the ladies but he says
h-i does not admire my style of man.
"You should get you a good-looking
model.' he said. And then he always fin
Kcrs his tie and straightens his- collar
and gives a surreptitious look In the
mirror. I never take the hint. . I don't
like athletes when It comes to fashions.
They are so unadaptable. Besides, he Is
spoiled enough, as it Is. with all the other
women In the office kowtowing to him.
Ha seems to think because he gave me
a raise that I should work my head off.
I have come to the conclusion that all
men are alike and that this world is a
hollow mockery.
Besides. I am getting serious-minded,
and when I get home I am quite sure
that Dad will find that I am quite as
sober as even he mlgnt wish. My bright
ycung youth is clouded, what with all my
worries of pleasing Penny and the M. M.
M.. both of whom seem to feel that they
have to account for my goings out and
comings in my goings on, as Penny vul
garly describes them.

bard world, my masters.
I have not had a real laugh for this en
tire week. But one. And that was on
myself, so one can hardly be very Jovial
about it.
It was quite late in the afternoon and 1
was very tired. I had left my key at tha
office, and I felt quite despairy. AH the
people who have been away have come
back. In spite of the fact that one would
expect them to be out of town at this
time of the year, and Penny had told me
that morning that the room across the
hall from her had been opened.
X decided I would get Penny to go back
tc the office with me to find my key, for
she is rather despendable even If dis
agreeable, at times. And I grouped my
way down the hall In the direction of
the door. The light had not been turned
on and it was pitch black. As I reared
the end of the hall I heard the most pe
culiar sound. Ba-Ba-Ba! Be-Be-Be!
Bo-Bo-Bo! Ha-Ha-Ha! Ke-He-He! Ho-Hc-Ho!
Ga-Ga-Ga! Ge-Ge-Qe! Go-Go-Gn!
Patty, I felt every hair on my head
standing straight up and every drop of
blood blood run cold! It sounded like
a madman. What in the world? And
then, like a flash it came to me what It
was. Penny had said to me: "Now, if
you ever hear or see anything In New
York that you do not understand, do not
get excited. Just' count ten before you
speak, and by the time you do, will prob
ably find that It was all nerve."
I went down to the tearoom, and sat
down at a table and began to count, but
all the time that awful, chattering
sound rang In my ears, like something
gibbering chimpanzees. I counted and
shook and shook and counted, and at last
went over to the table in the corner
where Miss Thome sat, and said to her,
very gently:
"I am sorry to tell you. Miss Thorn.
but I am afraid there is a man upstairs
seeing things."
Miss Thorns turned and gave me a long
look, and then she said: "It HAS been a
warm day. You must not go out in the
sun too much. Have a cup of tea and
you will feel better.
I gripped my chair and counted ten.
ftiid then I leaned over and whispered be
hind my hand: "I am awfully sorry to
tell you but I think he's having tremens
deliriuam tremens. He goes Ba-B!
Be-Be! Bo-Bo! Ha-Ha! HelHe! Ho-Ho!
It's awful!"
Miss Thorne looked at me In mild sur
prise. "Oh.' she said, "it's the doctor."
"The doctor. That nice old man?" I
was terribly shocked. "Does he have
'em?"
"Oh. quite often. He teaches 'em."
"TEACHES 'EM?" I stood up and for
got to count ten. "TEACHES 'EM? The
brute!"
Everybody turned and looked at me,
and Miss Thome pulled me back down
into the chair. "Hush: Idiot," that was
her exact language. "He's a stuttering
professor and he is having a class and
they are all taking stuttering exercises
at the same time. Ba-Ba, Bo-Bo, Be-Be
don't you see?"
"Oh, I see." I said. "I see. I think
I'l' go out and take a walk. Miss Thorne.
and cool off. It's kind of warm, don't
you think?"
Penny says she likes It. Tenny is most
peculiar and likes the strangest things
like suffrage and socialism. She says
when he first came back and held his
stuttering classes she was terrified, jut
now she has gotten so she rather enjoys
it. It sounds sort of friendly, she says,
to hear them all in there, stuttering -it
the same time. But co-operative stut
tering don't appeal to me.
But. then. Penny is strong-minded,
and strong-minded people are not afraid
of anything except mice.
Speaking of mice reminds me of Tabbv.
She Is very cunning, and I sent her to
Cousin Miriam.' and she Is wild about
her. As for me, I wish I had never laid
eyes on her, for Penny rioes nothing hut
preacn tnese days, and f am rettine
tirea or being browbeaten. Suppose I w!
not properly introduced? Goodness
knows, he sa-ed me from worse than
death. I might have bee
for disturbing the peace and Dad would
have had to go on my bond.
But Penny never will listen to reason.
Your blue and lonely.

AN APPEALING FACE
What makes some women's faces so
appealing? Most often it Is a perfect
complexion. No need to be envious;
forethought beats envy. For instance
TETTERINE
is a big complexion aid. It removes
blotches, scaly patches and all skin erup
tions that mar a woman's beauty. Tet
ferine conquers ecxema. even cases of

Each type of food has its exact energy
or calorie value. In establishing food
standards 100 calorie portions are the
unit of measure.
For instance 100 calories of butter Is
equal to 1 tablespoonful. 100 calories of
milk equals 6-8 cupful, and 100 calories
or bread equals 1 average slice 1 inch
thick.
Long years of experiment and study
have established the number of calorie
requirements for persons of different age
and occupations, so that by a little figur
ing with the aid of these standards It is
possible to estimate the exact food re
quirements of each family per day. Then,
with a table of 100 calorie portions of
focd. it Is a simple matter to work out
the amounts each person will need of
each food In order to obtain his day's
ration.
, The food requirements for an average
family are as follows:
Total
Family Age. Weight. Calories Needed
Man ......40 164 S0 per day
Woman ,.37 120 210 per day
Girl . 110 2200 per day
Boy 12 75 2260 per day
Boy 40 1400 per day
