THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG acts. like an anaesthetic 7 stops pain in 3 seconds --! WORKS like magic on any kind of corn, no matter how old, where it is, how bad it hurts. One touch and the pain goes. Almost unbelieyable. Then the corn shrivels up and goes. A scientific way that dancers, walkers, actors, doctors and millions use. Beware of imitators, Get the real "Gets-1t" at drug stores, Costs only a few 'cents. Madein Canada 191 George S¢., Toronto 272 Princess Street. nit EE ------------ Dr. Vincent A.

Leonie was artistic, too. . , { hadn't she been around the studios | in Paris, Rome, Vienna, London, as | model, conclerge--all sorts of things--for years and years? She had even dauwbed a bit, herself, on canvas. For she had a certain knowl- { edge both of colour and of line, which knowledge had later proved invaluable in the millinery venture. And she had the busines Inmstinet that Miles Holden lacked! That was the main essential. He woud go up and up in his Ppro- fession! She was wide-awake enough to realize that fact. "Besides, I am in love with him!" Slowly, pleasurably, her mind seized the thought. (Had she ' not done an excellent morning's busi- ness, and was justified in a few mo- ments' Indulgence of the gentle Passion?) A fall, angular woman In the late forties strode into the lounge. and dropped awkwardly into a chair be- side Leonie. The woman's hair was badly done, And dusty. Her suit--of good mafe¥ial--was 111 fitting, and of the wrong color. Herhgt, worn at the wrong angle, with a slightly backwards tilt, looked as though fit had been rescued from the dust-bin. She was ungainly, yet she had "an adr" about her. Even the waiters re- cognized it, for they flew to do her bidding. And--though her face was neither plain nor pretty, and at the moment lopked as though a good wash might improve it-her features were aristocratic, and her dark blue eyes were really fine. "Lady Warrington, by all that's lucky!" mentally exclaimed Miss Leonie, with a Httle Intake of the breath. 3 Here was an influential woman, who could be of benefit to her, not only in a business way, but socially, Indeed, the 4wo Ahings were Inter- twined, for it was to Leonie's best interest to cultivate the prominent folk. "Bocentfic, but has a wide variety of friends," proceeded the young hat-shop lady, racking her brains to "Likes to think she's Bohemian, and dabbles a bit In everything, being good at none! Husband dead,'I think." Lady Warrington had ordered coffee and a creme-de-menthe. When the Waiter had withdrawn, Leonie could see her hunting feverishly for sugar. "Drat the man! He's it!" she remarked aloud. Here was the girl's opportunity, and she seized it. "May I offer you mine?" She handed over a little bowl of sugar, "The waiters are rather forgetful-- Lady Warrington thanked her ef- fusively, peering short-sightedly at the girl. She had so many friends, and knew such shoals of people that she felt she ought to recognize this well-bréd smartly-dressea ypung woman. "I am not sure--perhaps we have met before--I go about.a [great deal ~--'" fibbed the latter, in answer to the older woman's question. "And of course I adore Paris. Don't you find it very--atmospheric?" Lady Warrington 'rose' to the bait with ehitdlike nalveness. The word 'atmospheric' suggested a true fel- low-artist and Bohemian soul. "It expresses one's every mood," she chirruped, "all that is gay and young and romantic, that's to say, 1 find no sadness here." The trite remark" amused Miss Leonie. Not for world's however, would she have shown her amuse. ment. They talked for fifteen minutes, then Leonie inquired: "Ae you making a long visit?" Her manner left nothing to be de- sired, In flattering interest. She must make bay while the sun shone. "Oh, staying just a day or two, to get some clothes. Half a dozen ha's have just arrived, and I've been try- ing them on, but, do you know--" an air of childish disappointment eame forgotten seem half sb smart!" Leonie could well 'believe it. "If only I had someone to advise me--someone who understovd line, and colour, and my type!" went or the lady plaintively, stirring' the suga rin her coffee. "And yet I'm artistic myself. I really don't under- stand what's happened." Here was Leonle's chance. Shs leapt at fit. "It would give me the greatest pleasure to help you, and I'm sure I could." (It was too early in their acquaintance to let this Influential What The Twins Saw in Shut-Eye 3 Town. The Twins looked at all the queer people in Shut-Bye Town, going up and down and in and out. and here and. yonder, willy nilly, the gqueer- est way evér. They wisked by un- der their very noses or walked be- tween them ,or darted out unexpect- edly from | nowhere, disappearing Just as suddenly into nothing. The most amazing part of it all, however, was that nobody made a sound. With so much hustle and bustle and hurrying and pushing, you'd have expected it to sound like circus-day. The Twins must have showed how very odd they thought it was, for all at once a tall thin person with long arms like toll- gates, suddenly stretched out one of his arms in front of them and they had to stop. "My name 1s Geewhillikins," sald he in a solemn voice. "Why are you mis: | 80 surprised" wh - It's so very quiet," said Nick. seems to make a sound. Do they all wear overshoes?" - "No," sald Geewlllikins. "But our streets are made of rubber. v One rubber that oe ol ers and great green claws like nut- crackers.' One of'these nut-cracker claws he snapped rudely before Nick's nose, looking as though he should like to say something rude But he backed hurriedly away without any further remark, and Nancy said indignantly. "I know why he did that. He didn't think his thumb would make enough noise Ir he 'snapped it, 80 hé turned into a lobster just so he could have those horrible claws to snap." "I shouldn't wonder," gaid Nick. "But, oh, Nancy, look at all those queer people!" 2 The Twins stood and watched the people of Shut-Eye Town 80 sliding by in their queer noiseless way. First a lady as-wide as a mattress her than a shoe-scraper Passed, leading a dog as long as a clothes-line and as thin as a clothes- pole. . Next came a man as high as a church steeple and na could have walked through a door crack. Without a word the man jumped on a six-legged horse which promptly leaped upon a house and went down the chimney. Thethird person was no other than am enormous egg, who seemed to be able to bend quite easily in the middle, for he bowed this way ana that to all his friends as he passed. ga i 8) woman known she was a mere mil- liner! If things progressed favour- ably, time enough for that.) Lady Warrington turned towards her, beaming. "You are an artist? Yes? Much as you looked too siaft for one." This was very, very promising. "And your own hat's marvetous," went on her new-found friend, with gush. "If I eould oniy feel I looked one half so well--" Now was the time for adroit flat- tery. It could be laid on Leonie had gauged the type, to certain extent, "Forgive me for plain speaking, but of course you must know already that you have exceptionally fine features! So much character, and strength, and yet--such feminity! I speak only as an artist. Whenever or wherever I see beauty--" And she broke off cleverly, Lady Warrington was delightful ly surprised. 'Clever,' 'brain', 'charming', 'good-natured,' she had many times been called. Her best friends could not have guessed how ardently she longed for physical beauty, and how---Iike so many of her plain sisters in the world--she would willingly have saerificed all else for the radiant good looks she could see enjoying homage every- where. % Leonie could read these fluttering emotions, and proceeded to enlarge her theme, "You have something more. . now, do excuse my frankness-- something more than mere good looks. Not only have you the '"'dis- tingue' air which most women would sell their souls to possess, but never can, because it's a matter of here- dity. and blue blood--but you have that 'je ne sais quo!' of subtleness, that Mona Lisa air that is 80 in- triguing!* (Had she gone too far this time, Would the foolish Creature really Swallow that, wholesale?" Lady Warrington gave a delight- ful titter. Here was someone after her owh heart. And how clever to guess--although of course this at- tractive young person couldn't pos- 8ibly know her identity--that she really was talking to a selon of nobility, her father being in the peerage. | As for the subtleness--- "Men have told me that there was something rather mysteprlons about me---that they vouldn't get to the bottom * of the way II smile," flonndered the embarrassed but en. trantéd -fady, who was shallow as the day, Men! Here wis another side-light for: Miss Leonie. Poor, dear Lady Warrington fancied herself as - a charmer of the opposite sex!
