He stopped short as tf a hand
had been clapped over his mouth.)
and darting a quick look at the other
t-oya I caught the warning look for
silence which Henry had not had
time to erase from h's face Instinc-
tively I pa. 1 no apparent attention
to it. but I felt as if something had
clutched at nay heart with constrict-
ing fingeis. I had had to deal with

hi n to deceive rrc deliberately and
the thought that the««* older cousins
were perhaps inculcating deceit and
falsehood in his mind terrorized me
beyond all common senrfe or reason.
‘ Suppose you run along and play

an effort. “Then I’ll plan the trip

ways found ourselves able to deal

*'I know what s on the we'l-kr.own

he came into the room. "I heard
Junior’s spiel and I caught Hank's

harmless.”
That isn’t the question.” 1 said.
•‘It's the idea that Junior has been
told to keep something secret from
us and that he is impressed enough
by Henry's authority to stop him-
self in the middle of a sentence w hen
he was telling us about it.”
"I know.” Dicky said soberly ‘‘but
what are we going to do about it?”
“I don't know.” I said heavily.
“By the way. how long are the hoys

“That's your own fault” Dicky

The Berlin of 1939.
TO ONE who had visited Berlin
prior to the fall of th* Empire
a look-in on th* city today
would come as considerable of a
shock. Not an unpleasant shock.'
mind you: Just a shock. Germany
has done loia of things t • »h k p- c>-
pie in the iast fifteen years not th*
least of *hem being the making o\ *r
of its capital city and the flection
of that i<tnd oil nnpetiai warrior:
Paul von Hindenburg as president
of the Republic.
In th* old days Berlin fairly bns- i
tied with statues to this and that
monar h and such great etatesmf
as Bismarck and M like
statues are still there Put heieft «>£
the glitter arid pomp which con-'
stantly was to be found in the
streets they do not seem quite so ‘
imposing. The crowds no longer*
stand respectfully awaiting the pass-
ing of the All-Highest or on* of his
six sons or their si«ter. Viktoria
Lmse. “da* kleine ni is.se Mad hen.''
They are busy upon then- own af-
fairs. business w hich not only is in-
tended to bung prosperity and power
to the ration bur will redound to
their own benefit.
No longer does the aou^d ot the;
goose - step resound in “Untar den j
Linden." The clank of the sword
and the rattle of the spurs on the
sidewalk as some young Prussian of-
ficer pushed a mere commoner into i
the street is no more. No longer
are the Adlon ai d similar hotels and
the haunts of thos* who turn night
into day sacred to this or that
"altess* . Anybody w-ith the neces-
sary gold marks Is welcome and
thank you. sir. for coming in.
| A Made-m er t ity
Probably no city in history ha^
made itself over so completely in
such » short space of time a® Ber-
lin has l iken for the Job Not <>nl>
politically but actually. phyMcally.
For example there used to be the
Konigsplatz. the square upon which
stands the building of th- Reichs-
tag. which of course is the German
parliament. Now it is the Plata der
Republik and on the opposite -.id*
of the square runs the Friedrich
Ebert Stras«<—a thoroughfare named i
after a saddler’ But tbit saddler1
was the first President of th- Ger-
man Republic.
Much w.ts made of the right life
of Berlin before the World War. At
one time the city was a dangerous
rival to Par s and Budapest for the j
kind of thing the American votes
against at home and goes to Europe
to sec. In the white light district
there are still high jinks far into the
night but it .s not the Berliner who
contributes. He is home in bed get-
ting ready for the next day's work.
Another custom which has gone
by the board in Berlin is the two-
hour lunch period which always in-
furiated American tourists w-ho could
r.ot transact business between 12
and 2 And the shops open earlier
too. as do the ‘heat-res. Berlin is
readjusted to 1930.

Some Odd Facts

gg^HE morning after the night before is often the mo.t amusing
| part of a party. Events are reviewed incident* are remem-
ber’d and the happenings of the evening form themselves
into one picture. The girl who met the man of her dreams won-
ders if the meeting is gome to lead to other meetings and per-
haps from friendship to affection and love. And the man who
wa- such a great success at the party often wonders which girl
it was who so intrigued him. If he could only know whicn on*
it wa*. he think* that he could soon learn to love her.
It is so difficult to know just how one can know and recog-
nize real love. The memory of a kiss is quite helpful hut it is
not an actual clue. The constant thought* of a pretty face are of i
course a symptom but not sufficient for a diagnosis. For there
is only one means of gauging love and that is through the medium
of the heart.
So we are not really sorry for our young man who is in such
i quandary. It his heart does not give him a clue that will lead
him straight to the arms of THE girl then the meeting was just
an incident that wilt mean nothing to him or the girl. When he
d°#- meet I HE girl then he wont be puzzled or mystified. H*
will know.
The Matron "Makes Up”
By JOSEPHINE HI DDLESTON
Applying Rougp Is an Art and llrrr Arp Samp Suggp.stians
AND now coTit.: ;ing the series^
on make-up 1 11 tell you about
the coiffure and make-up of
the youthful matron.
The usual cleans ng of the skin
of course was the beginning and
when this foundation work had been
skilfully accompl.shed rouge was
applied. A little brighter shade than
that found suitable for the elderly
matron "as used for the young
matron. The "key” or brightest spot
of color was kept rather h.gh on th*-
cheeks and blended up to the tops of
the cars instead of up to the temples.
The model having blonde hair and
Hue eyes blue eye shading was
blended on the eyelids and blue
tnascaro was used for touching up
the lashes. The shadow? were deli-
cately wrought and dusted over with
powder before the lashes were ac-
centuated with mas aro Incident-
ally this blue mascaro is rather nev«.
you know and It must b» used with
dis retlon else frightful mistakes in
"■•ike up vv !i rr i'A Also it is b»st
used for evening only tor then the
artificial lighting does not betray its
true coloring which naturally Is
obvinui in daylight
Although the general treatment of
the ha’r was much the same as that
arranged for th» elderly matron the
ha r brushed back from the face
without a part it was long hajr and
made into a flat roll at the nape of
:h< neck. The shallow dips caressed
The cheeks how ler and permitted
the tips of the oars to show before
being confined into the roll at the
ba k. Another variation of the long
bob for young matrons was given
in the roiffure which accentuated a
flat wave with the ends curled down
at the t ape of the neck to resemble
long hair.
And now we come to the young
sters those adorable Ingenues who
fill the world with the young beauty 1
that is found only !n the teens . . . j
unless it it »tretched over Into th*
eaily twenties by those clever girls
who do all things well!
It was noticed during the demon
etratlon. that the usual astringents1
followed the removal of cleansing’
cream even on tho*« g rls who were
only in their middle teen*. I'm not
euie 1 approve of this believing that
less artificial measures can be taken
during the earlier years to keep the
t ssues and skin from deterioratl;'.;
But let s continue with the points of
make-up.
A still brighter shade or rouge is
appropriate for younger women and:
the line should l»e drawn up to the
cen'er of the ear. making i* almost
on a straight line with the cheek-
bones
'Vhich makes us realize that th» |
rouge line is raised as we grow
older the voun* matron carrying her |
rouge line to th*> top of her ears and
the matron to the temples Also as
one grows older the shade of rouge
must be less \ ivld. Also the youth-
ful miss doe* not bring her rouge so
near the nose as the older women
do. She depends upon the natural
vivacity of her mouth and the
healthful sparkle of her eyes for ex-
pression Instead of resorting to
rouge to accentuate these features
Also the lashes of youth usually
are longer and more luxuriant than
* af the older women and
the.- rarely need accentuating with
mascaro. If it is used it should be
sparingly els* the natuia! appear-
ance so desirable and so fashionably
smart at present will be lost in one
i of sophistication which is decidedly
bad taste these days.

Household Hints
Blue a? the sky is the color your
laundry water should be after you
have poured In your bluing Four a
little of the water into the cupped
palm <-f your hand to test the shade
• • •
Coffee stains can be removed by
applying pure glycerin before the
linen is washed.
• • •
It is a wise mother who early de-
velops in her child pride in h.s per-
sonal belongings. Let him have his
own tiny set of toilet articles. This
is not only sanitary hut it is a good
way to instill in him the importance
of being careful of these articels.
• • •
Muslin and net curtains wear
mu h longer if they are not per-
mitted to become too soiled. Dirt not
only has a deteriorating effect but
is more d.fficuit to remove when it
has become ingrained in the fabric.
An excellent method of washing
these dainty articles Is: First let
them eteep in cold water for an hour
or so. Make a lather of dissolved
soao and hot water squeeze and
knead Rinse well in warm water.
Fold and pass through the wringer.
Iron lightly the way of the selvage
and on the wrong side.
• • •
Fruit stains can be removed from
the hands by rubbing w.th salt mois-
tened with vinegar.
• • •
Leather furniture n*’cds care Just
as does fabric upholstery—but not
the same kind. And don't wait until
the leather begins to show wear.
Begin w hen it is new- to give it an
occasional rubbing with linked oil.
This will prevent it from cracking
and drying.

4 6 A ND did you and King Fat*
/% Wa* cloture the swal-
lower?" the shadow-chtl*
dren —MiJ. Flor. Hanld.'Knarf and
\am — asked the tin* soldier. Ha
aigr.ed deeply. ••No." ha replied
sadly "and for a curious reason—a
very curtoua reason '
Naturally the shadow• wauled to
know w hat th:s reason was. tha
more so because it was very curious.
Bu: they knew it was useless to
urge him to tell It to them at once.
They wasted patiently for him to go
on.
It was late at night. All tha real-
chi'.dren were asleep. The shadow*
had got to talking with the tin-
soldiei. whom they found doing
-entry-duty in the nursery. He re-
lated how he and his royal friend
King Fat-Wat. whose realm was "on
the other side of the wall." decided
to capture a swallower which got ttj
name from Its habit of swallowing
everything It They provid d
themselves with two slices of brown
bread on which they first spieal 4
generous layer of thick molasses.
The trml****!. was Important as tt
e'uck in tha swallower’s teeth and
kept it from opening Us jaws.
It was a very curious reason in-
deed that w *> didn't capture the
swallower." the t.n-soldier continued.
"In fact the more I think about it
the more curious it seems. Wewere
well on our wav toward the swal-
lowers den w hen His Majesty turned
to me and said: ‘Don’t you think *e
ought to have a bite to eaf”
"That's a splendid Idea Your
Majesty.* 1 replied ‘only I forgot to
tell the cook to prepare us a lunch.
We have nothin? to eat.*"
" *H'm.* said Ktnr Fat-Wat ‘that
mikes it a little difficult.'*’
“The Swallower!'* Exclaimed tha
Shadows
‘ You ca-'‘t very w*U have a bit*
*o eat without anything to bite."
V»m pointed out.
The tin-soldier nodded ‘ That ■
what His Majesty discovered. But
he was exceedingly wise for tha
next moment he exclaimed: “*Wh>.
we have something to bite.* And he
pointed to the two slices of bread
and molafses."
“‘Oh. w* mustn’t eat them.* I
protested. ‘They re for the swal-
lower. ’’
“‘Nonsense‘ he replied ‘tw o slices
are too much for one swallower. We
don’t want it to g«* sick. That
would be cruel. Besides we'll only
take a nibble. The Swallower won’t
mind. Let * both begin and when
I say etop we’ll atop nibbling” **
"And d-d you only take a nibble?’*
Hanid asked.
“Well we took a nibble at first.
Unluckily the molaaees stuck In our
teeth so that His Majesty couldn t
say stop. So we had to keep right
on nibbling until there wasn't a
crumb left.” _
The shadows were astonished-
"But how could you nibble with your
mouths shut?"
The tin soldier didn't appear to
hear th:« He became greatly ex-
cited. "No sooner did the last crumb
disappear when to our dismay who
should apv us but-"
"The Swallower’” exclaimed the
shadows.
"Exactly. And it galloped toward*
us w’th wide-open mouth.”
