IN
WOMAN’S
WORLD
It is to the home-coming woman who 1
is sorely troubled over her little sun- !
browned hands that one would make a
lew practical suggestions.
f Sunburn and freckles will wear off in
^ time, but if time be too slow a healer
; there are other remedies. Nothing is bet- ■
ter to banish sunburn than a lotion of ,
rose water and glycerin, using of each ,
two ounces, and- half the quantity of cit- !
ric acid; apply when washing the hands. ;
Freckles yield to daily applications of !
-Violet water, one ounce; glycerin, one j
dram; tincture of benzoin, one-half dram, ,
and powdered boras, one-quarter dram.
Rub the boras with the glycerin, gradu
ally add the violet water, lastly the tinc
ture of zenbflin, slowly stirring. Rub
some of this* on the hands at night, and
then draw on a pair of big but very
dean, sweet-scented, white suede gloves,
that ar .slit open in the palm aud crop
ped off at the tips of every finger.
After the hands have been whitened by
this process they may be made soft aud
satiny and pink-palmed by massaging
them night and morning with a cold
cream. Gently pinch and rub the emol
lient into the palms with thumb and
forefinger, and into the back of the hands
with the forefinger.
Very fine white sand, if used judicious
ly, is one of the best things in the world
to make the flesh white and firm. Take
about a pint of sand and put it in a
washbasin nearly filled with hot, soapy
water.
Wash the hands in this, rubbing thor
oughly with the sand. Then rinse in
tepid oatmeal water, and afterward thor
oughly dry them, pushing back the flesh
and pinching the tips of the fingers to
keep them tapering, and the nails of
good shape.
The warhtttg imoatmeal water can be
repeated now and* again daring the day.
For moist hands use a little powdered
borax in the bath water, dusting after
ward with boraciceacid powder. Borax
dries the ski&fl andsit should not be used
too frequently. A/little powdered borax
or a few drops of ammonia added to the
water will cleanse the hands if they are
stained or much soiled.
Callous spots on the hands may be re
moved by robbing them with pumice
stone. Warts may be cured if touched
lightly once a day with a solution of lac
tic-acid and salicylic acid, of each one
half dram, and four drams of collodion.
This is applied with a small brush.
Quite like old Worcester ivory in effect
are the Teplitz hunting figures, quaint
little statuettes depicting all manner of
horsey figures. Winners, losers, jock
eys, and the rest are all ready for the
buyer in a Chestnut street store.
Not as funny, but altogether exquisite,
are some vases that same in the same lot
all the way from the fascinating little
health resort in Northern Bohemia.
These pieces, which are marked Ampho
ra underneath, are in a delicate.ivory
tone, and for the most part are adorned
in fine gilt traceries, a little color being
added in some cases. Although delicate,
the designs are on art nouveau lines. Ex
quisite feminine heads are noted.
But the most exquisite of them all
perhaps is the shapely vase with the
twig of a plum tree on one side. The
foliage is perfection, and the little dark
blue plums are, like fairy tales, too
good to be true. But they look it. In
.deed, part of the fuss is left on them
and one is ready to wager they’ve just
been brought from the depths of some
cool, shady old orchard.
The tailor gowns, with plain skirts
and three-quarter-length coats made like
the riding habits, will be the first to be
6een this autumn, says “Harper’s
Bazar,” but later on will come again the
(long gowns of cloth, in both light and
dark colors, with quantities of material
and elaborate trimming. These are
charming, no doubt, for women .who can
ride in their own carriages, but most in
appropriate for the majority of the
feminine population, who are forced to go
about in public conveyances. Such must
needs, therefore, provide themselves with
both styles. A new shape in the circular
skirt has come in this year; it is a very
well cut one, which does not droop at the
sides, as is the unfortunate habit of
many circular shapes. A good skirt also
is one that has a seam down the front,
circular gores at the sides, and straight
breadths at the back. The "habit skirt is
back again, but-with moretfullness below
l the waist. , 5 , k. .
The whites of raw ■ eggs are very nour
ishing. A good way to prepare the drink,
according to one who' knows, is to break
the white into a jar, with what milk is
desired, and shake the two thoroughly
together. A pinch of salt should be add
ed. An English specialist recommends
to adult (patients suffering from anaemic
condition the daily consumption of eight
or ten egg whites. They can be taken
clear and with easeuf the eggs are kept
very cold,/broken (iuto a cold glass and
used at once. Another excellent drink
is made'by beating the white of an egg
to a froth and adding a tablespoonful of
rich cream and a> spoonful of brandy,
this is a very nourishing cordial for an in
valid.
If you biave a beaver hnt'.of acceptable
shape, which means one possessing a
large crown, left overt-in your wardrobe
you can easily, make it presentable by.
applying a velvet facing. Get a skilled
milliner to do this for you, even if you
.decide to trim the hat yourself. On a
velvet face much of the style of the hat
depends. You will probably want bird s
wings or plumage to wear through the
autumn months. It is too early to look
forward to winter styles, but there is no
doubt as to what is desirable for October
and November, the months during which
one is most out of doors.
The large cape collar that has been
seen so much all spring and summer will
also find a welcome place on the autumn
dresses. Such adjuncts finish off a dress,
while imparting a broad, stately effect to
one’s figure. Thes’e collars will not be
plain, but will be characterized by any
amount of applique, incrustations and
petit pois decoration. The latter, while
being greatly 1 employed, has changed
somewhat since its introduction. Then
it was a tiny round dot worked in em
broidery silk. The same silk is used,
but the dot has now assumed a starlike
figure, larger and more pronounced than
its predecessor. Such items as these are
small when considered in detail, but the
success or failure of the effect of a dress
is largely dependent upon such trivialit
ies.
A cluster bag, says the London
“Graphic,” is a useful addition to a
drawing room—a hiding place for a silk
or cotton duster to be used by the mis
tress of the house in case of emergencies.
String-colored linen is the best material
for the purpose, and it can be embroider
ed with poppies or corn flowers, and tied
up with ribbons to match. Some people
keep a doll’s dustpan and brush in the
bag besides, so that if there is any little
accident its traces can be removed at
once without calling in the aid of a ser
vant.
Many persons are troubled with greasi
ness of the skin. Sometimes the greasi
ness may be overcome by wiping over
with a soft rag dipped In white wine,
or in toilet vinegar and water; a weak
solution of alum and water is also bene
ficial. If the skin is very oily the follow
ing solution is useful:—Sulphate of zinc,
4 grains; compound tincture of lavender,
1G minims; distilled water, 2 ounces; mix
well and apply with a piece of soft rag.
For fried tomatoes select large, firm
tomatoes, and remove the skins by dip
ping for a moment in boiling water, says
the “Pilgrim.” If pared with a knife
the pulp will be broken and the juice es
cape. When they are cold cut in slices
and dip immediately in white of egg
and then in corn meal. If the slices
stand for any length of time they be
come soft and juicy. Cook in deep fat,
or until a delicate brown, and serve very
hot. Crumbs can be used instead of
the corn meal, but the latter is pre
ferred by many, and is also much used
in frying small fish, such as perch. The
tomatoes can be used as a garnish.
A simple ^contrivance for producing
soft waves in the hair is made of rubber
in colors to match the shade of the hair.
It is flat, about a quarter of an inch at
the widest part. At one end is a tiny
knob and at the other a small ring, while
through the centre runs a narrow slit.
Through this opening the strand of hair
is drawn and the hair wound around the
curler.
A rubber cord loops into the ring and
is pulled over and caught on the opposite
knob. The waviness is secured much
more quickly than by other methods and
the rubber does not in any way injure the
hair.
The brilliant shade of red which tones
in acceptably with an autumn landscape
is yclept “Coronation” red. It is right
rogal in its vigor and intensity. The
young girl shows it in the top-knot of
ribbon which holds her tresses away
from her forehead, and in the close-knit
woolen “Guernsey” with which she
watches football practice heedless of
gathering mists and damps. Even the
woman who “never wears red” shows a
glint of the coronation color in a twist
of velvet ribbon at her waist or throat or
in the platron cravat which swings above
her autumn jacket.

There is a fashion in dolls, as in every-'
thing else, and the ‘latest candidate for
favor is the Ping Pong doll, which will
delight small maidens this Christmas.
The doll utters the name of the popular
game when her arms are raised, and may
be regarded as a girl of the period com
pared with her predecessors, whose
speech seldom went beyond the murmur
ing of “mama” or “papa.” This new
doll is sent out into the world neatly
packed up with her bats and balls ready
for action.

T’S a great problem,
of course,” said
Nancy Randolph
Rutledge, folding
her hands in front
of her portly per
son, “yet I can but
feel «that in this
case Beulah has
cboseu wisely. Genius has more rfgjits
In some ways, and in some it has less.
She shouldn't feel that she is free to
fold.her talent In a napkin; she doesn't.”
“No, no,” murmured little Mrs. Gar
ner, “but it seems mighty hard and—
and difficult, doesn’t It? Do you think
she minded giving him up very much?
They had been engaged so long,” she
added apologetically.
“She’s absorbed in her art,” replied
Miss Nancy impressively. “Her life is
consecrated to it.”
The pair were sitting in Miss Nan
cy’s flat in Ninety-seventh street, and
the room in itself was a biography.
The walls were hung with what Miss
Nancy called (and I capitalize accord
ing to her sentiment) Ancestral Por
traits—five of them, and wonderful
things they were. In one corner was
a tiny brown old Erard piano, the first
Erard ever made, I should think. It
was still capable of sending forth an
odd. pleasant eighteenth century-like
tinkle. Some battered old pieces of sil
er, a cake basket and a teapot taking
the . honors, stood in solemn dignity on
the elaborate, shiny, new hardwood
mantelpiece.
Miss Nancy Rutledge was an elderly
and unmarried lady, but if you allow
yourself to turn toward her any of
your usual slighting and condescend
ing sentiments for spinsters you are
offering her the first patronage she ev
er received in this world. Miss Nancy,
in the kindest, most unconscious way,
patronized creation. Never out of the
south was an unmarried woman so
generally and simply allowed preced
ence over all matrons as was given
Miss Nancy in her own world. It was
not that .these southerners loped mar
riage. lpss—far from it—but that they
loved intellect more, and intellect was
what Miss Nancy tacitly and firmly
claimed to have, was supposed to have
and did have, the amount thereof in
question declining slightly with each
successive step of this statement.
Miss Nancy had come north to live
off the enemy amid the prayers and
plaudits of admiring friends, and their
prayers and plaudits had echoed
around her throughout the five years
in which she. had gallantly triumphed
over bankruptcy, in New York. In that
'time she had played many parts; she
had written,for the papers, had taught
mathematics in a school, had assisted
in the editorship of a new and impe
cunious paper devoted, as its title page
stated, to developing the resources of
the. south and had given lectures on
the history of Virginia in the parlors
of some rich people who could never
forget—though sometimes sorely tempt
ed—that they were'born south of Ma
son and Dixon’s line, and of late, in
the midst of work upon a life of Gen
eral Lee, for the Southern subscription
trade,' she had found a new resource
in the care of a small portion of that
army of southern girls which is now
constantly encamped among us. She
had three in the house with her and
devoted some attention to several liv
ing elsewhere. The office of chaperon
suited Miss Nancy. According to her,
ail girls were lovely, most of them
beautiful—“perfect belles at home”—
and the pleasure of devoting her stores
of garnered wisdom to their service re
newed her joy in life. She was benev
olent, sincerely so, and believed, with
a good showing of reason, in her pow
er to guide and instruct humanity at
large and also was humanly suscepti
ble to the charms of appreciation. The
very groundwork of Miss Nancy’s
claims was common sense. You could
see that in every line of her matronly
figure and hear it in every note of her
! pleasant, hearty voice, and in her large
i featured face and bright gray eyes
i common sense was enthroned.
! But, contrary to popular prejudice,
S human beings are constantly rendered
! unknown quantities by the possession
j of quite contradictory qualities, and
Miss Nancy, to tell the truth, had been
j subject in her life to a few enthusi
i «tyns which left her common sense—

sometimes for better, sometimes ,Jor
worse—far behind. One among those
young ladies whom she now called
! “her girls” was the object of a venera
tion that must be considered to have
had its rise In the romantic, the high
er side of Miss Nancy’s nature. She
had khown her sine# she was in long
clothes, but not till about a year be
fore this conversation with Mrs. Gar
ner did she honor her with more notice
than lay in that general amiable pat
ronage of which I have spoken and
which she constantly dispensed about
her like a perfume—bergamot, say.
This girl was, of course, the heroine
of Mrs. Garner’s speculations, so you
already know that she had genius, au
art and a lover—a decent equipment, I
take it, for her position as my heroine.
A little more than a year before Miss
Nancy bad visited Beulah’s mother,
and during that visit she had con
ceived an entirely new idea of Beulah.
Beulah, like every other southern girl
; at home, was generally—according to
j the formula—voted mighty sweet and
; right pretty—that is, pretty a little—
t but it was only recently that she had
| developed any special claims to
i distinction. Now Miss Nancy found
! that she was an artist, not fully fledged
| perhaps—oh, no; to be sure not—but
\ unmistakably an artist, and to that
| title, which Miss Nancy gave only to
i painters and sculptors, she bowed with
| the most curious and common blind
I reverence in the world. It would be
j impossible to exaggerate the simplicity
| of Miss Nancy's attitude toward these
i arts; in word, it was of that familiar
j sort which feels an oji painting to be
i an oil painting and a very imposing
j thing too. Of;course Beulah did not
j make oil paintings; with all her genius
she had not yet arrived at that stage.
But let us go back for a moment to the
beginning of her artistic career.
When the Baptist Female college of
■ her town added a new drawing master
to Its “faculty," several young ladies
of society, Beulah among the number,
had been moved by the fame of its ac
: eomplishments so far to renew their
i connection with the school as to take
: a course of lessons freja him. Beulah
; always had clever Regers. She had
done beautiful '‘tatting’’ when she was
only a little girl, and now she distin
guished herself in the drawing class.
She was soon drawing her own em
broidery patterns and beginning her
I ascent of that pinnacle of fame on
which ere long she was to sit en
i throned.
She enjoyed this new outlet for her
| abundant energies, and in the nature of
i things she enjoyed the new considera
| tion she won. She began to feel a
I Certain tradition born awe of her own
: gifts. Her position toward art was ex
actly Miss Nancy’s own. She felt for
it or, rather, for the name the supersti
: tious, unsympathetic veneration which
1 some philosophers explain as a result
! of art’s dependence on religion in the
i middle ages. At any rate, when Beu
I lah found herself making a recogni
zable sketch' of the water pitcher—for
; the new master was very advanced
i and.insisted on study from the object—
i her heart palpitated with the magni
tude of the dreams of glory that floated
In upon her mind. Then came Miss
Nancy. Miss Nancy gazed upon the
water pitcher and ute flower embroid
ery patterns with profound emotion.
' She urged Beulah-to come to New York
■ and have the best instruction, and
! finally Beulah came. By chance she
j fell upon the plan of going to the Art
| Students’ league, and now she had had
| one season’s instruction there and was
| beginning her second year.
Naturally within this year her ideas
' had undergone some changes, but for
; the greatest change of all—the deter
\ mination not to marry Tom McGrath—
■ the league could hardly be held direct
i ly responsible. Southerners have a
1 pleasant reputatiou for friendliness
I with strangers, because they so readily
' suppose others to be “nice people,”
various evidences of niceness being
more conclusive in the old southern
world than they are at present in New
York; but if southerners do not feel
sure that you are of their own kind, if
they are even puzzled as to where you
belong (according to their remarkably
simple ideas of classification), they are
little likely to be friendly, not being
apt to cdre for social experiments. All
this is but a preface to the statement
that Beulah had scant acquaintance
with her fellow students. She thought
the young women generally given to
queer clothes and that the young men
lacked what she called “polish;”
polish in her language meaning,
though perhaps she had never thought
of It, deference to women. So tlie
dear girl let her social chances for
league associations, with all their edu
cational influences, slip by her in the
gentlest, firmest little way in the world
—in exactly a nice nineteen-year-old
i way, in fact. She was a,dear girl, and
i she showed it in failing to become ut
| terly insufferable under the adulation
! that now, away from the league,
j surged around her. This it was that
| might be said to have brought about
! the momentous change I have men
; tioned—this adulation and Miss
i Nancy’s blarty and insistent fostering
I of all the dreams it excited. Miss
' Nancy bad just been explaining Beu
I lah’s present position to Mrs. Garner.
] Mrs. Garner was a friend who lived is
Beulah’s nome county, and was now
visiting New York.
“She took a g^eat many sketches
home with her last summer,” said Miss
Nancy, “and everybody was aston
ished. I reckon a great many people
felt that it was a great pity to see a
girl with gifts like that just settle
down into the ordinary humdrum.”
“The duties of a wife and mother”—
began Mrs. Garner, with slightly agi
tated solemnity. She was very humble
with Miss Nancy, but the “ordinary
humdrum” was a phrase that pro
voked even her to turn to the arsenal
of platitudes for a weapon. She had '
it in her heart to try to remind Miss
Nancy that the most important offices
of life were the very ones she had
never been called upon to fill.
put little could she cope with Miss
Nancy, who, secretly amused, swam
beneficently on with the conversation,
wishing to soothe the little woman’s
feelings and Without the faintest con
ception of the malice of her intentions.
“The duties of a wife and mother are
sacred, Molly. But without her art
Beulah, though a sweet girl, might
likely enough be a humdrum person. I
don’t think she has the feeling for duty
that you havd, for instance, and that
you always had, Molly. But her art
lifts her above herself. For a long
time she seemed to have less feeling
about her talent than her friends did,
but I talked to her. I did that much.
I would notMirge her one way or the
other about her marriage, but I want
ed her to realize what a great trust a
gift like that was and to make her
choice solemnly. It isn’t even as if
Tom McGrath were going to live in
Virginia. In Texas she will be out of
the way of instruction and of all those
associations that would stimulate her
and give her something to work for.
And, then, we know under the best of
circumstances”— Miss Nancy shook
her head and sighed. Despite ex
pressed views as to its desirability in
her secret heart she really could but
look on matrimony as an abyss that
swallowed up many high hopes. In
her day she had put such a deal of en
thusiasm into teaching girls who—got
married.
So sue made up her mind?” said
Mrs. Garner, with a suspended inflec
tion.
“Yes, at last. Her pa and ma didn’t
urge her one way or the other. I
think Mrs. Hunt herself would a little
rather she had married—she’s very
conservative, you know—but Mr. Hunt
never wanted her to anyhow, and they
both felt the responsibility of the great
future there was before her. I reckon
she settled it just before she came
back.” And then it was that Miss *
Nancy had admitted the harmonizing
of woman’s development and woman’s
sphere to be a great problem.
Presently Beulah entered. She was
just home from her work at the league
rooms and had a sketchbook under her
arm. Mrs. Garner got up to greet her
in a little flutter of excitement.
“Oh, Beulah, you’ve become a great
woman since I saw you.”
Beulah stooped a little to kiss her
and said serenely, “I’m just beginning.
Miss Molly.”
“I so long to see some of your won
derful things. You’ll show me some,
won’t you?”
“You are very kind; I’ll be delighted
to,” said Beulah, and, excusing herself
a moment, she went to her room, laid
aside her coat and hat, ran a comb
through the dark curls on her fore
head, powdered her face afresh, and
then, without loss of time, got out an
armful of sketches and studies from
the bottom of her wardrobe, and, smil
ing and polite, walked back to Mrs.
Qarner. She sat down beside her,
drew up a chair to rest the pile upon
and showed them all to her, conscien
tiously, one by one, telling her in the
meantime which were the hour ;
sketches and which had had a favor
able word from her teachers—telling, :
Mrs. Gamer got up to greet her. '
in short, in the most instinctively cal
culated manner, all the things that
Mrs. Garner would understand as re
flecting credit upon herself.
“This girl didn’t have a very nice
complexion, did she? That’s why
you’ve made it so dark and reddish,
isn’t it?” said Mrs. Garner hesitating
ly after various half articulate mur
murs of admiration. She could not
repress a little automatic effort to find
out why these things, which wetfe so
much less pretty than the pictures in
an illustrated weekly, were so much
more wonderful, a fact she never
dreamed of questioning.
“Oh, no,” said Beulah. VShe had a
very nice complexion, but the light was
not strong on it, and then, yon sec,
these things are done in such a hurry
we only try to got the figure, the ae
tioB.”
It did not annoy her in the laast
.when people did not understand. She
liked to explain a little, and she nevac j

doubted their admiration—their ad
miration of her for making the pic
tures. She was quite astute enough to
feel that, the admiratknl of the things
themselves was not always a sponta
neous burst. It did not disturb her that
many of her friends suffered a little
disappointment with themselves over
the dullness of their sensations before
real hand paintings. She realized that
the tradition of their value remained
unshaken.
Mrs. Garner looked at the last draw
ing and then leaned back and gazed
with emotion upon Beulah—Beulah
looking so pleasant and simple behfhd
the collection of her complete works.
“It’s very wonderful—wonderful,”
Mrs. Garner murmured, shaking her
head slowly and thinking of more
things than one.
Beulah smiled sweetly.
"“And it makes you very happy, does
it, dear ?”
Beulah detected a thread of curiosity
in the question that she resented, but
she still smiled as she rose with the
works on her arm and said:
“Yes, indeed. Miss Molly. I could not
be happy without my art.” And Miss
Nancy nodded her approval.
Life went on serenely in our house
hold for several months after this.
Southern visitors continually dropped
in, and all, like Mrs. Garner, M'ere
treated to a sight of Beulah’s produc
tions. Miss Nancy called for them If
no one else did, and she was apt to
give an awe inspiring hint 4vhen Beu
lah was out of the poom as to the sacri
fices the girl had made for her art's
sake. After awhile a change began to
show in Beulah. She worked harder
than ever, she painted early and late,
and she grew more and more silent,
and on Sunday, when she could not
paint, more and more restless. She
was no longer content to hide her sto
ry book in. her lap for solace while she
dutifully and patiently sat and pre
served the look of listening through
long chapters of Jeremiah read aloud
by shortsighted Miss Nancy.
“I’m afraid, Beulah, my child,” said
Miss Nancy solemnly one morning,
stopping and laying her open book
upon her lap—“I’mr much afraid you
are letting your delight in an earthly
gift and your love of an earthly art
draw you away from your Interest in
things eternal.”
Beulali had been fidgeting from one
window to another after having three
times found excuses for leaving the
room. Now she still stood at a win
dow and answered without turning
around, “I’m afraid I am, Miss Nan
cy.” But afterward she sat down and
remained quiet through the next chap
ter, though sustained by no other dis
traction than her own thoughts. To do
Beulah justice, she was always willing
to do as much through one chapter.
That, she said, slje had been raised to.
Miss Nancy had not expressed her
fears fully. What she said to Beulah
was what she said to herself, but
down in the depths of her being lurked
a faint uneasiness that she did not ac
knowledge. It was very annoying, tha
way one person and another began to
remark that Beulah was not looking
well; that she was losing flesh. How
could she look well when even after
dinner at home she got out paper and
charcoal and fell again upon the work
that had occupied her all day? Genius,
of course, often did burn itself out in
that way, but she had always felt that
she had reason to hope Beulah was
better balanced. She was so far shak
en out of her usual noble poise as to
protest crossly several times against
so much work, but one night after one
of these scoldings she heard the girl
walking up and down In the drawing
room till 3 o’clock in the morning, and.
instead of the sense of Intolerant out
rage with which she would usually
have greeted such a performance, an
odd forbearance fell upon her. After a
month, in which Beulah’s appetite and
color did not improve, Miss Nancy got
a letter In which, among other bits of
gossip, she read: “Mary has had a let
ter from her nephew from San Anto
nio, and he says he has heard that
Tom McGrath is courting a girl In
Houston; that people think it will be a
match.”
Miss Nancy’s heart lightened. If you
will believe it, she thought to herself
that now Beulah’s pride would come
to her regime, and make, her forset a
/

man WtlO nua so soon lurgoiren ner.
This hope was her first admission to
herself of her fears, and you see from
it that Miss Nancy had exalted ideas
as to the offices and possibilities of
womanly pride and also that she had
the usual feminine and profound at
tachment to the most romantic ideal of
constancy—constancy under the most
| discouraging circumstances—for men.
She meditated on how easily and light
; ly to put before Beulah the base fickle
| uess of the discarded one, but the
more she thought about it the less she
knew how to do it. If ever there was
an old maid in every fiber of her being,
it was the hearty, wholesome, large
minded Miss Nancy, and consequently
her theories of love at ’ love affairs
; were of the most assured, definite,
I comprehensive character; but there
! was something about Beulah these
■ days that gave her pause and for once
in a lifetime penetrated her soul with
an unacknowledged but dreadful doubt
of her own complete understanding of
| all the mysteries of human,life.
Before she found a way to speak to
Beulah of Tom McGrath’s lightness
she got a letter from Beulah’s mother
; mentioning the same subject as a
i hearsay report and adding that she
had written of it to Beulah—why, she
did not say, and who knows?
! The day that this letter came Beulah
did not come home to dinner. It was
8 o’clock when Miss Nancy heard the
door of the fiat hall open and. hurrying
to the parlor entrance with unaccus
tomed speed, saw Beulah dragging her
self wearily into her own tiny bed
room. A feeling of relief was suc
ceeded by a righteous and tempered
indignation in Miss Nancy’s heart. She
had not intimated to the other girls
that Beulah’s absence was to her un
expected; on the contrary, so far as
was consistent with her ideas of Pres
byterian doctrine, she had intimated
exactly the other thing. She was dis
posed to maintain something like
boarding school discipline over her
girls, apd they, she well knew, with
their associations, were all too likely
to imbibe the odious doctrines of
youthful feminine freedom with which
the dreadful Sunday papers reeked. She
now thought that to go at once and
speak to Beulah alone would be the
best way of maintaining discipline.
She knocked at the door and, immedi
ately opening it, found herself face to
face with a very white, wide eyed
1 young woman, who stood in front of
her chaperon as if barring the way.
‘ Beulali, my dear child, began Miss
Nancy in her most sadly serious way,
her hands resting upon her stomach,
“I cannot feel that this evening you
have treated me or m/ household with
the respect that is my due, and I feel
that it is for your own”—
"Because I did not come home to din
ner?” Beulah broke in, in an unfamil
iar, hard voice and without the slight
est apparent consciousness of the rude
ness of her interruption. ”1 beg your
pardon; I am very sorry.”
"Where have you been, Beulah?”
said Miss I?hncy, still trying to live
up to her standard of an ideal disci
plinarian.'
“Been?” Beulah repeated, pushing
her hair away from her forehead and
looking through space. “I don't know
—oh, I have been walking.” She
brought her eyes back to Miss Nancy’s
and then added quickly: "I had my
lunch very late; I don’t want any din
ner. I have been taking a little exer
cise in the park.”
This explanation was a small conces
sion to duty and decency, to be sure,
but Miss Nancy’s well trained ear was
conscious of a singular indifference in
the girl's tone. Site was uncomforta
ble. She felt like retreating. She did
retreat, but not till she had covered
that move by saying: “Very well, Beu
lah, but I don’t expect this to occur
again. It is not proper conduct. I
will go and fix you a plate of bread
and butter and make you a cup of cof
fee and bring them to you. It is my
duty,” raising her voice a trifle in an
swer to Beulah's impatient wave of
protest, “to see that you do not injure
your health by your own—your own
folly. I shall expect you to eat some
tiainep.”
