CHAPTER TIT.

The conversation was interrupted by
that young lady, who came forward to
meet them, with both hands extended
and her gown trailing behind her in a
way that disguised Tom beyond meas
ure. He had read of women who wore
trailing gowns, but it had never been
his misfortune to see one until now. To
his fastidious mind it seemed shock
ingly untidy, and an untidy woman
was, in his opinion, the most pitiable
spectacle imaginable
81 thought you We're never coming,
Tom, DEAR" said Daisy, taking his
hands in hers and smiling up into his
face "And now that you are here I
have a great mind to keep you all to
myself.
81 want to get acquainted with him, J"
she added, speaking to Mr.. Parkhurst.
81 presume you know that we are en-
gagged to be married?''
''Tom has told me. I'll offer congrat-
ulations when we are alone.
81 believe he means to kiss me-, re-
piled Daisy, looking at Tom. "Shall
you allow that?''
81 will answer when l am sure of his
intentions, - replied poor Tom.
"He thinks you could not make up
your mind to do it,, said Daisy, turn
ing to Mr.. Parkhurst. "He doesn't
know how we behaved when you We're
in Wheatlands, does he? 1t seems ever
SO nice to see you again, dear Mr.. Park
hurst Let us sit together on that couch
in the corner, where we can talk over

your exclusive attention to Tom?'

very little of him. 1t is quite necessary,
you know, that we should avoid becom-
ing too antagonistic, for we must spend
a great deal of time together.
Daisy's voice was soft and sweet, but
very clear. Tom was quite sure that
several of the callers who had happened
in had heard her allusion to his squint-

Wear a clean apron while ironing

To clean bamboo furniture use a
brush dipped in salt water.
The eyes should be bathed every
night in cold water just before re-
firing and they will do better work
the following day.
When very tired lie ON the back,
allowing every muscle to relax,
letting the hands go any way they
will, and keep the eyes closed.
Ifyou have to sew all day change
your seat occasionally, and so
obtain rest. Bathing the face and
hands will also stimulate and re-

Oil stains may be removed from
wall paper by applying for four
hours pipe clay, powdered and
mixed with water to the thickness

For stains in mating from grease

warm salt water.
Where it is desirable to see the
tongue of very small child the
object may be accomplished by
touching the upper lip with bit of
sweet oil, which will cause the
child to produce its tongue.
Sore or infamed eyes are relieved
by bathing in tepid or warm water
in which a little salt has been dis
solved. An individual towel should
be used in all such cases-never
one which is used in common by
members of the family.

ing eyes and his large ears-the only
defects by which nature had sought to
mar an otherwise perfect exterior. Tom
was very sensitive concerning these de-
fects, and his friends had humored his
sensitiveness for so long a time that he
had begun to believe that no one noticed
them but himself. Miss Daisy's criti-
cism did not serve to increase his love
for her.
Tom tried to make himself entertain
ing to Stella Manning, another of Mrs.
Ridgway's nieces, but he could not keep
his attention from wandering to the lit
tie figure in the gay gown OF black and
yellow satin sitting beside Parkhurst
"You don't like her dress, l see, J"
said Stella, following his glance of cold
disapproval "Daisy always did have
the oldest taste in dress, and no one
can persuade her that it is not perfect.
Gray hair, smoked glasses, bare arms
and shoulders, painted face, corsets and

combination"

Tom, trying not to sheer. 81 believe
there was time when all society ladies
dressed in that way. In these days of
common sense obedience to the laws Of
beauty it hardly seems possible. -

the contract
"She has you in her power and no

will be in a more unhappy condition
than you will should you play the de-
voted lover to Daisy You may be
chaffed for your odd preference, but if
you carry yourself we'll it will only be
considered one of your oddities, while
if you throw your property away you
will not be considered worthy even so
much notice as is given to those whom
we chaff. You will besides subject
yourself to most uncomfortable personal
experiences.
Parkhurst was convincing in any ar
gument. He offered to go with Tom to
call on Daisy, and when the two men
stood on the steps of Sanders home
Tom was quite prepared to try to play
the part which he had taken upon him
self in his effort to evade the tax on
bachelors. But when he entered the
room his courage nearly failed him. He
would have left the house at once could
he have done so without observation.
"Never mind" whispered the law
yer. "She will learn to dress better

Tom. "And all those men around her

The new woman is only copying after
the ancient dame when she rides astride,
as is now the fashion of the royal prin-
cesses and the leading equestriennes of
both England and America. Joan Of

French army, and Queen Elizabeth used
to ride to falcon hunts i'll this fashion
behind Lord Leicester. 1t was only in
the sixteenth century that the sidesad-

cooked separately. Tomato cream
soup is another delicious winter
soup, very easily and admirably
made from canned tomatoes. For
all these the vegetables are put
through a sieve or vegetable sitter
just before taking up, making the
soup as thick as cream.
After cooking the meat, any fat
upon the soup must he most scru-
pulously removed, and the easiest
way is to set aside and take it off
when cold. The vegetables should
be added an hour or more before
taking up.
THICKENINGs.- addition of
macaroni, vermicelli, sage, rice and
other cereal preparations gives
name to the soup, and is a very
simple matter, as they need only to
be mashed and dropped in the
kettle half an hour or so before the
required time. Experience is the
best teacher as to quantity required,
since so much depends upon vary
ing circumstances. Tastes vary
also, and the soup that would be
too thick upon other tables. A
small cupful of rice or sage would
usually be ample for large family.

soning of a soup goes far to decide
its success, and the cook needs to
''be bold, but not too bold" 1t is
fashion to make many soups very
hot with cayenne. Salt should be
sparingly, for it can be added, while
it cannot be removed. Celery seed
and bay leaves are so useful for
tlavoring that the housekeeper
should keep supply always in
stock. Peppercorns, cloves and the
little "bunch of fine herbs," so
freely figuring in French cookery,
are all useful. Above all, choose
the favors approved and carefully
shun those disliked in your own
family. whatever the cook books
may say. With rich combinations,
in which no one flavor predomi-
mates too much, and prudent regard
to this private court of appeal, there
need be little fear of an adverse
decision.-Country Gentleman.
