Feelings for Bill had taken her to the highest heights she had ever reached. Suddenly she felt all weak and aching. You could fight illness and tragedy with strength and courage, she thought. But you could not fight against a love that had you shackled. You -had no weapons, no defense ... Never see Bill again, never hear him speak, and call her name, never feel her- self enclosed in his arms She thought, "I can't bear iti" But she knew that somehow she had to bear it .. . It was dusk when the train. stop- ped briefly at the familiar little station. And the mist had changed to a light snow when she stepped from the train onto the platform. Alone ... still alone, There was no one to meet her. Worried because she had been certain either her father or mother ,could be there, she left her three bags, went into the station, smiled a: the station master's weather-bea- - ten face, and telephoned her home,. "This is Katha." Grace Lodge cried, "Oh, my dear, I've been delayed! We intended to. meet you, the whole family, but Tack fell out of the apple tree and earned his ankle . And I had my hat on. ready to come? How are you, dear? Glad to be home? We've missed you so and the phone's been tinging all day. John went to ,the drug store to get something for Jack's ankle.

It gives pleasure to the wearer (and those around), and it also gives you a potent "lift." Perfume is most enchanting when it suggests its presence in a subtle and unobtrusive way, and the secret is to scatter many light applications, instead of one heavy application in one place. Start with your lingerie; spray your undergarments after laun- dering, because the scent lingers. And so with your dresses. Spray it :.n hour or two before wearing. When you're dressed, add a drop or two, if you desire. It was the fashion in Elizabeth- an days to wear perfumed gloves, and smart moderns follow suit. A mere drop on gloves will leave' your hands fragrant. And don't despise a hint of perfume on your hair. You can add a few drops in the last rinse, after washing the hair. What perfume should you use? Get one with a well-known name; it is cheaper in the end. In selecting a perfume, you should strive either to express. your own personality, or the per- sonality Tot desire. For instance, if you are shy, you can use a flow- ery fragrance like "Jasmine de course" or "le nouveau Garden- ia"; but to make the people you meet sit up and notice yen, try a stimulating perfume like "1'Ai- mant" (the magnet). 1 will have more to say on this fascinating subject shortly.

She thought so many women lead "an insipid, meaningless life," and urged young women students of today to see that their abilities are put into action. Filling Society's Need "We need more women who are conscious of society's need which bas to be filled. Women today must be resolved to support and give a lending hand to other wo- men We must be willing to suf- fer," she declared. "Madame Curie is a lasting in- spiration for women today to get busy and achieve something," she said, "We must have the ability to stand slander and downright in- iquity by women.
