Please send a once and greatly oblige, H. J. Curtis. Helen read this letter over with flushed cheeks. She had rewritten it three times At first' she signed her full name, and then the thought of the florist wondering at a woman sending flowers to herself made her change it to only her initials which might mean any member of her family. .

When she finally dropped it in the box, she walkel home slowly, the color still burning in her face. If anyone should ever know if they should ever find this out! But they couldn't.

Nothing had come not even a letter. And she felt now that nothing would come. At any cost she would not let her family know that he cared so little. Most of last night she had lain awake thinking what she would do if nothing came in the morning. And it was the middle of the night when all our thoughts and plans are most daring, that she had conceived of this of herBeauty WHEN Dorothy Brenner smiles and golden hair glints to an accompaniment of dimples and white teeth and bubbling joy you do not analyze "Beauty" you just enjoy It.

When the long white box was brought her, she opened it i with all the surprise and delight she j had planned. Under the tissue paper ! was Warren's card, which she had di- I rected the floript to enclose, and the roses were beautiful. j "They came all the way from New !

I have no stated time for drinking it just whenever I am thirsty I indulge in a glass also whenever I am hungry. After the first day or two it is no hard to deny yourself food, and at the end of two weeks I am eight pounds thinner and much clearer as to complexion than when I started on the 'cure.' When I go off the buttermilk diet. I do not plunge into heavy eating and overload my digestion, but then I don't believe in very hearty eating, anyway. For breakfast, fruit, coffee and a roll: for Innrh n p1oc nf buttermilk and a sandwich, and dinner a simple repast of the supper variety. That is a good all-the-while custom for the eatins deoartmont "My next use of buttermilk is external application. I use it on mv face and throat. First. I wash very thoroughly with hot water and pure castile soap. .Next comes a careful drying process and then I take a bit of cotton or soft cloth and put buttermilk over my face and throat; as soon as one application has dried I go over the surface again. Ten or fifteen minutes are allowed to pass and then I give my face a liberal washing and splashing in cold water. At the end of that time I feel as well as I look and look as well as well as I feel and both et fects are very satisfactory.

I say express your feelings; if you are blue and don't know why. or discouraged and do know why, go off by yourself where you can't annoy the neighbors or worry your mother over what ails you, and just cry it out.

Since you were old enough to climb on my lap and whis - per a desire in my ear, I have given you everything you longed for. I see my mistake for now, when you ask for something I should refuse, I know that the power of refusal is beyond me. "I know that you ask me as a matter of form; that should I say no, you will do as you have done for y?ars; laugh at my refusal and then proceed to do as you please. "This is my fault.
