English Woman's Code
Carried to Extremes
For the most part tbe English
woman regards the use of cosmetics,
the proper care of the hair, the
proper wearing of clothes, as turning
a woman into a professional In the
most deplorable sense of the word,
says Harper's Magazine. She runs
her house and herself on the as
sumption that she must be an un
sullied amateur first, last and all the
time.
In consequence one often feels that,
whereas In France even the plainest
women never give up, in England
even the most potentially beautiful
are like as not never to begin.
Now it is quite possible that Amer
ican women are too professional in
their pursuit of the art of being and
looking charming nnd that this ac
counts for the 12-ln-a-box feeling
one sometimes has on the sidewalks
of Fifth avenue. It is certain that a
lady hiker in rough tweed breeches,
silk hose, thick walking shoes nnd
lipstick has an amphibious air as
she takes the train for an outing up
the Hudson.
It is also certain that the English
woman know better how to dress for
certain practical purposes such as
getting wet in the rain. But It is a
thousand pities that her cult of mis
guided amateurism prevents her from
taking the little trouble that would
make her natural charms Irresistible.
But If?
An old father, who had a weakness
for gambling, called his children
round his bedside.
"You must all promise me," he
said, "never to touch a card. Above
all, I would warn you against play
ing baccarat. It Is a game which will
cost you a fortune, waste your time
and ruin your health. Do you all
promise me never to play baccarat?"
"Yes, father!" In chorus.
"And remember?if you do play,
always take the bank!"
Complexion Curse
She thought she was just unlucky when he called
on her once?avoided her thereafter. But no one
admires pimply, blemished skin. More and more

Man From the
North
By TES3 FULTON
?. by Mcdure Newspaper Syndicate
WNU Service
DOLLY read the letter and tossed It
carelessly to her roommate.
"Darling, here's a chance for one
of your Infernal practical Jokes," she
suggested, her cold eyes biding In
their darkness a faint twinkle. "That's
from Allan Dyer. I met him last sum
mer up North. He was good looking
enough but a bit rusty in appearance
?said he was camping on the lake
and he looked It; and besides, he was
poor. The man who Interests me Is
the boy who can pay the waiter's
check without looking as If he won
dered how much It left him."
Carol smiled as she picked up the
letter. "Your bright Idea, Icy one. Is
for me to carry on your correspond
ence with him; Is that It?"
"He writes an Interesting letter, and
you can string him along; and when
I go up there next year, I can have
him to play around with."
"Polly, you're heartless!"
"Mebbe so, little one, but this Is a
heartless age."
Carol mused over the letter. It was
chatty and Interesting, and suddenly
she decided to answer It Polly In
formed her. Immediately, that Allen
had never seen her handwriting, so
the hoax would work.
Carol wrote the reply, employing
some of Polly's characteristic phrases,
amused and pleased herself at tho way
her letter shaped Itself.
A week later, Allan's reply came,
and Carol learned something of his
life. It seemed he was working In a
lumber camp, and the letter told of
his life there.
The letters began to Interest her
keenly, although she took care to keep
the discovery from Polly who found
the letters only mildly Interesting and
soon stopped reading them.
Slowly a personal note crept Into
the letters. Before she realized It,
the same mood was upon her.
"Here's a nice situation!" Carol
told herself one evening. "Writing
Polly's letter to a chap who evidently
Is thinking of her tenderly, while I'm
beginning to think of him the same
way! I'll drop him!"
But sne tounn it mucn easier to say
It than to do It.
Polly left for a two weeks' trip for
her firm, and with her bright, some
what cynical presence absent from the
room, Carol found It easier to dream
and muse over the man to whom she
was writing.
Polly had been gone only a few days
when Carol went to the door to learn
from the maid that "A man from the
North" would like to see her.
Carol was stunned. "But she Isn't
here, Kate!"
Kate grinned. "He said If Polly
wasn't here, he liked to sec any friend
of hers."
Carol thought a moment. "Send him
up, Kate," she said with decision, but
her mind was fluttering.
Carol went to the window. A long,
powerful-looking roadster was at the
curb. "It can't be Allan," she told
herself.
The door opened Into their living
room, and a man, brown of face, and
almost filling the doorway, faced her.
"I'm sorry to learn that Polly Is
away, but glad that you are here." His
gray, fine eyes were friendly. "Ton
see, I'm right from the woods, hungry
for a good time, and I hope yon will
run around with me a little?some
plays, dances, etc."
Carol laughed Inwardly as she
thought of the Joke on Polly.
They did play around?a gay, gor
geous week. He seemed to have plenty
of money that he spent freely but
wisely, and he certainly was good com
pany.
"Oh, this Is awful!" Carol moaned
one night, as she tossed her evening
dress aside. "I'm In love with him
and he's In love with Polly! And
when Polly gets here?Gosh 1 what a
mlr-up!"
She saw no solution, but one came
the next evening. They were at a
corner table In one of the dellghtfnl
places he knew. He had been musing
a hit.
"Carol, I was lonely up North at the
camp. You see. my father owns the
business, and I was up there winning
back after a bad dose of pneumonia.
The letters that came, so cheery,
amusing, pulled me out of dark hours;
I made up my mind that the girl who
wrote them should play with me and
be with me all the rest of my lffe. Now
are you willing?"
Carol ceased to breathe. "But?my
dear?I?how did you know I wrote
the letters? I?really?"
A strong, steadying hand lay upon
her trembling one. '"Through a friend
I learned that Polly had gone on a
business trip, but the letters came
from your address Just the same; and
besides, the last of the letters sounded
to me?well?as I know you now," he
said gently.
"But Polly?" she began.
"The point of It Is?do you care a
bit for me?" he said quietly.
The somewhat dlrzy world around
her cleared. She was looking Into the
strong but tender face of the man she
loved. She let her hand turn and
clasp his.
"Of course I do. Allan. 1 have since
your first letter arrived."

Russian* Easily Lead
World as Tea Drinkers
Of the three great national drinks
of Ituasia, tea Is first In the affec
tions of the Russians, vodka second
and kvas third. Russians take their
tea viciously hot. In glasses. For
butter-fingered foreigners there are
tea glass holders of flligreed silver.
To make tea In the Russian style
you must get whole leaves?small,
but not crushed?of the choicest
quality. Pour boiling water Into your
glass with your left hand as you sift
in a few leaves from your right. As
the leaves settle, fragrant amber
trails arise. Let it strengthen to
your taste. If you like sugar, take It
tween your teeth and sip the tea
as the peasants do?hold a lump be
through It.
The tea habit Is everywhere; It
grew because Russian water Is bad?
needs boiling. The first time 1 was
on a Russian train and it stopped
at a way station, all the Russians got
oft and ran like the devil. So I got
off and ran like the devil, too?with
no Idea why. or where to. I found
myself In line at a faucet of boiling
water. There Is one on the platform
of every sizable railroad station In
Russia.
The passengers take this water, In
a variety of containers, and go back
to their seats to make tea. It forti
fies them for the rigors of travel on
railroads which remain the world's
most haphazard.?W. B. Courtney In
Collier's Weekly.

YEAR AFTER
THE STANDARD
OF DUALITY
Fifty Famousj
Frontiersmen
By
ELMO SCOTT WATSON
A Brave Man'* Bluff
THE early fur traders were almost
without exception a class of brave
men, equaled In their daring only by
their resourcefulness. Bucb a man
certainly was Louis Chappieu. a
French-Canadian voyager who shortly
after the American Revolution had ris
en to the responsible position of agent
for the British-American Fur company
in charge of a trading post on the
Menominee river where now stands the
city of Marinette, Wis.
So long as he was dealing with the
-Menominee Indians who came to the
mouth of the river by the hundreds at
certain seasons every year to trade
their mink, beaver, otter, bear and
martin pelts for the white man's gew
gaws, Chappieu had little to worry
about, for they were unfailingly friend
ly
But there came a day when a party
of Chlppewas who ranged between the
Menominee river and Lake Superior,
arrived at the fort, and this day Chap
pieu happened to he alone. Before
he was aware of their Identity the
Chlppewas were inside the stockade
and had tiled into the warehouse
where he was busily engaged at the
time. From the black looks which
they gave him. he knew the Chippewas
were in an ugly mood.
Soon the Indians became abusive
and crowded around him with cocked
rifles and tomahawks and knives
drawn ready for use. The trader real
ized that they were planning to kill
him and loot the post, so he tried to
placate them as best he could. But
the more he talked, the more abusive
they became and he knew that the
first move he made as though to re
sist them would be a signal for them
to attack.
Hopelessly outnumbered and with no
help near, Chappieu's situation seemed
desperate. But he was of the breed
of men who do not despair easily.
Suddenly his eye, roaming about the
room, lighted on an open barrel of
gunpowder in the center of the room.
Quick as a flash he had drawn a pis
tol, but instead of firing at one of the
Indians he stepped over and pointed
the pistol down into the barrel of pow
der. Then he faced the Chippewas
and told them that he would give them
Just two minutes to get outside the
stockade. If they did not, he would
fire and they would all die together
when he pulled the trigger of the pis
tol.
For a moment the Indians hesitated.
Then to their ears came the ominous
click of the pistol being cocked. One
look at Chappieu's determined face
told them what to expect. They de
parted?hastily. The trader's bluff
had worked!

Old Bill Williams, Ex-Preacher
and Lone Trapper
A TOWN in Arizona bears his name
and thousands of tourists know it
ns the place where they leave the main
line of the railroad for the branch line
which goes up to the Grand Canyon.
Near by is Bill Williams mountain,
a 9,000 foot peak. It also perpetuates
the fame of one of the most picturesque
figures in Old West history.
"Old Bill" Williams was an eccen
tric character who is said to have been
a circuit-riding preacher "back in the
states" before he took to the plains
and mountains of the West as a lone
trapper. This is the pen picture of
him that one historian has left us: "A
tall, stooped man of Missouri fever
and-ague type; his thin, leathery face;
his nut-cracker jaws; his punch chin
and nose; his small, sharp, twinkling
eyes; his querulous voice; slovenly
habits; elk-hide suit, black with camp
fire smoke and slick with grease; his
piebald, humpnosed Indian pony; were
familiar to trappers, traders and In
dians from the Three Forks to the
Gila and from the states to Califor
nia."
Not an Impressive figure, to be suie,
but there wasn't a frontiersman of his
period more cunning in outwitting and
eluding hostile Indians or more redoubt
able in fighting them when cornered,
nor a scout and guide more familiar
with remote parts of the Rocky moun
tain region than he. For the latter
reason it seems all the more unbeliev
able that he should have made audi
a failure as guide for Fremont's expo
dition around the head of the San Luis
valley of Colorado In 184S, a failure
which almost resulted fatally for the
whole party.
The only possible explanation for
"013 Bill's apparent unfamiliarity with
one of his old stamping grounds is that
he was old. infirm and half-blind from
Ids many hardships of nearly 40 years
on blazing deserts and In snow-filled
mountains. After the rescue of the
party, the old scout, feeling keenly the
disgrace of his failure, fled once more
to the solitudes of the mountains.
And soon afterwards the Indians
"got" him?not in honest, open war
fare but by treachery. In the spring
of 1849 his body was found sitting
against a tree in a secret recess of
his favorite haunt, the Middle Park
country of Colorado. There was a '
wound In his breast from a bullet 1
tired by Indians he had considered his
friends, the Utes. Their excuse was
that lie had betrayed their camp to
hostile Arapahoes and the council de- i
creed that he must die. They had ex- i
changed rifles with hlra and as he sat j
in camp, unconscious of danger, one
I of the Utes had shot him.

WIFE'S PART IN
MATE'S SUCCESS
World's Failures, as Seen by
Psychologist.
While every normal man and wom
an strives to learn the secrets of suc
cess In life, how many pause to con
sider the causes of failure? Dr. Ber
nard Hollander, the psychologist,
says the London Dally Mall, analyzed
the reasons for failure while speak
ing at the London meeting of the
South Place Ethical society. They
ranged from sheer laziness and over
weening ambition to the handicap of
a bad marriage?the wife who is a
millstone round her husband's neck.
"A man falls," said Doctor Hol
lander, "if his Ideas are larger than
his purse; If he trusts unworthy peo
ple; If he puts pleasure before duty
and has too many or too expensive
amusements; If he does not do to
day what he can possibly put off un
til tomorrow; and If he risks all bis
eggs In one basket when he Is not In
a position to watch or control It.
"Some men fall because they are
given to dawdling, indecision, worry
ing or fretting, or have oversangulne
expectations.
"A man Is bound to fail if he has
no sense of humor, lacks cordiality,
does not know how to approach men,
cannot take a rebuff good-naturedly,
does not carry confidence or convic
tion, and when he la too long-winded
In his conversation so that people
tire before he gets to the point"
A good many failures In life, said
Doctor Hollander, were due to over
active Impulse, but the man whose
animal nature was weak had no
right to pose as virtuous, because
temptation did not exist for him.
Success or failure In life depended
also to a great extent upon the kind
of partner In marriage.
"There Is the nagging wife, the
clinging wife, the domineering wife
and the dull-witted wife who Is some
thing of a millstone round her hus
band's neck," he said.
"There Is bound to be failure when
an aggressive, masculine woman mar
ries an effeminate youth; when an
Independent and courageous man
marries a helpless, stupid woman;
and an athletic, vigorous woman mar
ries a dried-up bookworm.
"I have known girls to marry a
man for such trivial reasons as that
'he dances divinely.'
"Neither society, the state, nor hu
manity can continue to exist without
the old-fashioned wedded couple
bound together by a bond of love and
afTection."
