By Virginia
CLARIiOTTE stepped to the
Ida veranda and began
plucking the dead leaves from
the geranium plants. It was one
of those Bandar afternoons when
she found herself alone. "Weary of
olng through the newspapers, she
bad Impatiently tumbled them from
her lap and gone to trim up the
plants she had teen neglecting late
ly. Billy had gone golfing. Charlotte
pleaded to remain at home. She
did not want to get sunburned, but
he knew If she told that to Billy
he'd probably laugh her out of her
fears and she would come home a
perfect sight.
She had begged off with the plea
of a headache, and Billy went off
to the Unas alone. '
The afternoon dragged along and
Charlotte found difficulty In filling
her, time. As she passed the trim,
white bathroom, it occurred to her
he might try that new cold cream
he had purchased at the drag store
sale. She got Into her dressing
iacket. drew back her hair to an.
ugly angle and began smearing her
face with the soft, soothing cream.
Around and around she worked it
with her finger tips.
The door bell rang. Bhe stood
motionless with panic. Who could
It be? And she looking like a per
fect fright.
She went into trie living room,
drew back the shade, erer so little,
and bent her eyes to tbt crack to
peer through. A white-gloved hand
tapped playfully on the screen.
"Come now, little lady, open the
door. I know you're at home. Billy
called for Jack and they went golf
ing together," said Mrs. Cranford.
playfully.
"Wait a moment," called Char
lotte. She caught up a towel lying
near the pantry and wiped the
cream from her face.
"You dear, little, lonesome child,"
gashed Sally, as she bent to bestow
a kiss on Charlotte's forehead, "I
Just knew you'd be fearfully lonely,
so I dropped oyer to spend the after
noon with you. Aren't they the
most inconsiderate boys in the
world, my dear, going off and leav
tnr u all alone on Sunday?
"Billy wanted me to go- along,"
Charlotte broke into her stream cf
conversation. "But I didn't care to.
Have You One Talent?
SUPPOSE you were suddenly
left on your own resources
for money, do you know what
you could turn to?
This Is a Question many women
overlook as long as necessity' does
too frequently does the shock of
having to earn one's own living
ccme so suddenly that most of us
are utterly unprepared for it.
To-day so many avenues are open
to women that where one is really
untrained for a particular profes
sion there are many other places
where a woman with ordinary skill
at the household tasks may turn
her hand. Most of these means of
earning a livelihood, however, re
quire some cash with which to start.
There is the woman, for example,
who, suddenly finding" herself the
victim of circumstances which de
manded that she earn sufficient
money to keep her children well
cared for. turned .her one talent to
advantage. She bpened a small
shop where she made dainty chil
dren's clothes for a price which
most mothers of her community
were able to pay.
This clever woman excelled in
selecting unusual models for the
dainty frocks. She realised, ot
course, that shops in town could
offer bargains in children's things
because of their quantity purchases.
Rather than compete with this
scheme, she decided to .make her
frocks unique, so that one would
not find the. . in the shops.
Dainty voile, checked ginghams
with pantalettes to match, and nov
elty smocking on fine crepe frocks
were some ot the "different"
touches she gave to her-models.
ThenJtoo, Mrs. Blank gained the
reputation of putting only the finest
materials into her products. Moth

dear, we all hare to do it sooner or
later. X smelted the cold cream on
your face the Instant I kissed yon."
"Well, I did hare some cream on
my face," Charlotte admitted. "Bat
that's my pet way of resting, you
know."
"Quite all right, my dear. Bat this
is what fre In mind. Dont you
think lt'd be -awfully good fun for
me to call up my cousin Richard
and go for a little spin In his car?"
Charlotte could offer ho genuine
protest. She tried to smile.
Almost before the two women had
had time to powder their faces,
Dick Leveme's car gave a low
chug outside the door. He Jumped
out. bringing with him another
chap.
Sally lost no time in making Dick
feel welcome. Herbert Stanley,
whom Dick called "Stan," elected
himself Charlotte's partner.
It was Sslly who suggested the
lced-tea. and Sally who made her-,
elf at home in Charlotte's kitchen.
The two men lounged back com
fortably on the porch.
A light wind fatmed them delight
fully. But the same little wind made
it impossible for Stan to tight his
cigarette.
"Let me hstp you," suggested
Charlotte. "Come over here and let
me cup my hands about the match
while you light it."
"The pleasure is all mine,"
laughed Herbert Stanley, as he
moved to Charlotte's side.
It was in this pose Billy found
his wife as he rounded the corner.
Just as he came up the steps, a
savage frown on his face, Sally ap
peared in the doorway with the tray
containing four glasses. She posed
It high and made a curtsey as Billy
came swinging to the porch. Billy
gave the men a cold nod. -
"Resting, eh?" he said to Char
lotte, as she asked him to Join the
party.
"No, Indeed," spoke up Sally, as
Charlotte tried to explain. "We were
Just about to go for a little ride."
"Then by all means, dont let me
detain you," said Billy. "I simply
topped back at the house for more
balls. There wasn't a caddy in sight
to run back for them."
"But I did hare a headache, Billy
dear. And I I t .
chasing cheaper things at the shops
soon found that quality counted for
economy in children's clothes where
constant laundering had to be taken
into consideration.
The clever little -woman who de
veloped a paying business from her
. experience in making clothes for
her own youngsters began her shop
in the front room of her home.
When orders began to pile up she
engaged a girl to help her sew. But
she always did the designing her
self. Now that her "Kiddles Klothes"
shop is launched upon success, she
has taken two rooms above the
drug store in town and developed
them into a charming place where
children often beg to be taken.
The walls are tinted in light pink,
done In washable paint. There is
a low frteie ot nursery pictures.
Dainty cupboards, stencilled in soft
blue flowers, hold the exquisite bits
of finery which busy mothers are
anxious to purchase ready-made.
At the lower entrance, to the shop
there hangs a rag doll, bidding wel
come to all her little friends.
Now that the shop is well on its
way to a successful business, the
clever little woman who is making
a splendid living from her Idea
bears a secret of Interest to other
women who may find themselves in
her predicament. She began her
Venture on 50 capital. With tbi
amount she stocked up with rem
nant bargains from the department
-store tables. A sewing machine
was purchased on the Installment
plan. And the incidentals which
very, dressmaker finds necessary
were purchased from the remainder.
It was a safe venture, to be sure,

sold a frock her own youngsters

of their wardrobes in time. The

There was a time, not so loss

they seem , to take the fabrics for

about the trimmings for the new

of vaseline on the burned skin.
Dost' over the vaseline smear wltn
medicated talcum. Do not use cold
cream or vaseline on your akta be

women have aa erroneous Idea

careful Hot to allow the salt spray

face dry when you come out of the
water, and if it is convenient a
talcum ; powder dusting will help
keep off the ugly spots.
Powdering one's face is quite asj
art Begin with the bridge ot the
cost aad work the powder outward -la
a smooth layer over the cheeks
and chin with a lamb's-wool pad.
Likewise, work from the forehead

never will be satisfied again with
