"Dut what could you expect," her silly llttlo mother had said; "she is Monday's child, and fair of face." It seems as If that struck the key note of Grace's existence. Her fairness, which developed aa she grew older Into radiant beauty, was the excuso for everything. Had temper, Indolence, were overlooked because Grace had golden hair and brown eyes.

The girls adored her while they envied her, and so Grace went on, a little queen surroundet by her subjects. It wua not until she met Jack Martin that she began to realize that boauty is not everything. It took her u long time to come to this decision. She wondered why she could not subjugate Jack. He was never among tho circle ft her admirers. The climax came at a dance at the Country club. Jack Martin was the only man with an automobile in the little suburb where they both resided. Grace, as the acknowledged belle of tho community, felt that it was beneath her dignity to go in a hired cab or carriage when she might, have tho elegance of Martin's motor. Therefore sho smiled her sweetest at Jack Martin very time sho met him, and was rewarded by having him take little Lillie Lane, whoso straight hair and sallow skin gave her no ntolmo I II v,i?iiun cw lUVt'llIU'fiS.

She stood up disconsolately. "I see," she said somewhat timidly, "1 wish that there was something I could do that was worth while." For tho llrst time he turned and looked at her with interest. "There are lots of things," he said, briskly. "You ought to bo able to take up music or singing. It seems to nie that you have some talent In that line."

"No wonder .lack Martin loves her," she thought. "She Is just sweet." Lillie was a great help to Grace. om: hiiuwi'u me spoueu oeauiy mni , there were other things in the world besides admiration and adulation. "It was Jack Martin who has made me sec the beauty of doing my best," Ijillie confided to her friend on one occasion. "1 can never thank him enough." "If Wn Q I'?/?! Movtin n'Kr* ? ? o /I a see it."

"i don't believe ho ever thinks of me." "Well, lie talks about you a lot," Lillie stated, but Graee wouldn't bo convinced.

It seemed to Grace that the world ' took on a new radiance. Perhaps, oh, perhaps, it' she tried she might make him like her a little. The next morning she saw him at j dawn. His picture was almost finish- ( ed, and as she came up to him, he j said: "Lot me show it to you." It was just an expanse of sea light- j od up by the rosiness of the rising ' sun. 'How lovely if Is," Urace Bald, ! softly "How beautiful." Then she looked up at him. "Yet yon said that beauty didn't count much." "I said In a woman," Jack corrected. Then as he looked down at her ho I spoke with som<> hesitation, "Hut your beauty does count, Grace." "Oh!" she said breathlessly, "do you really think so?" ' I know it," he snid. "but there Is a new <iutility to it of late; yon seem sweeter and nearer to tne."
