The houss itself may be helpful ip making visitors feel at home. We should have nothing too fine for com rory and :welco me Q IT frien Is in rooms made homelke by our daly use, WI. tes Mrs: Burton KnSsland, in Ladies Home Journal '
 It is we'll to have easy rules about breakfast. It is customary to give ones guests the option of having tea or coffee, rolls and fruit sent to their rooms, or of joining the family.
 No hostess apologies for any guest All are on the same social plane while under her roof, and should receive equal consideration.
 It is disputed point whether host or guest should suggest retiring for the night. It relieves visitors of em- oarrsssment to know the ways of the household, and readiness to com ply with them is mark of polite ness
 It shows no lack of. cordiality to .re frain from urging friends to extend their visit. They probably have other pleasant plans, and hostess may be asking great favor when she fancies that she is conferring enc
 Experienced entertainers recon mend that the men should generally spend their mornings together and women enjoy each others society All meet at luncheon
 Hosts and guests meet in the draw ing or living rooms before the meals. Not less than five, nor more than l5 minutes should be allowed for all to assemble.
 Every guest should be made to feel that his or her presence. has added 10 the pleasure of-fhe entertainment. and conferred a personal gratification up on the hosts. gr.
 A prompt expression of gra tification in remembering the visit at once, up on returning, is an evidence of good breeding.
 A guest should hold sacred anything that may be learned of the family life or the peculiarities of any member of the household where hospitality has been accepted. v
 Visitors should fall in readily with any plan proposed for their pleasure, showing a disposition to be easily amused and interested, but must not seem dependent, for amusement

|, BORN TO WED<
How a Texan Woman's Inheritance, (
a Pair of Mules, Gained Her
Second Husband.

The sandstone had passed, leaving
the air vibrant and electric. The lash
ed earth was distorted from the pun
ishment it had endured.
Mrs. Elliott emerged from the far
thest corner of the lee roOm-there
We're but four-and made an attack on
the heaps of alkali dust that covered
the floor. Her weapons were fire
shovel and coal Scuttlc. A mere
broom would have awaited no more
than a feather.
She was Il northern woman making
acquaintance with the new southwest.
Domestic help in the southwest is a
case of Chinaman or nothing. Mrs. Ell
lott would have preferred 4 cobra.
A shadow fell silently across the tiny
entrance way and a soft voice said:
"Good evenin."
Madam resented the southernism 1t
was only afternoon. However, she
looked toward the open door and &C
cepted the challenge.
"D'y'all want a girl?
Mrs. Elliott gripped her shovel firm
ly to prevent herself from throwing
her arms around the woman's neck
''Will you walk in?"
She family remembered q tradition
regarding servants entrances and 9th
er devices of civilization. but they were
intangible vaporS, beating idly against
the rocks of primitive conditions.
The Texan smiled gently, and her
brown eyes were as friendly as a dogs
She seated herself unaSkcd. calmly
rocking back and forth and apparently
seeing no reason to pause in the chew
ing of her gum.
Are you looking for a place."

ridge hailed it and re-entered the house
with bottle of milk. He stepped gin
gerly over the blood stained floor and.
with the little one still cuddled in his
arm, hunted for cup to put the milk in.
The dishes were neatly disposed in the
little pantry. and soon he found cup
which he filled and presented with some
ceremony.
"Here you are, little chap" he said.
'Take a drink of this and you'll feel bet
ter"
But the baby gurgled and choked until
its pudgy features were purple, and the
young man suddenly realized that there
must be some other method of procedure.
He gravely tasted the milk himself and
then lighted the gas range and put the
cup over the flame.
''Too cold for you. wasn't it. old man?'
he said sympathetically. Then. when
the right temperature had been reached,
he turned out the blaze and after a mo-
ment's thought went to find a spoon.
Slowly the warm milk trickled down the
little throat. and soon the baby rewarded
him with the cooeS of contentment. He
glanced at the dead woman and again at
the child
Il can't leave you here, partner" he
said. Come on; We'll see where we can
CO. With the baby in his arms he
went out and visited one asylum and
take the baby in. 1t was almost night
before he finally found a shelter for the
poor little stranger, and when he went
down town the last edition of the paper
was on the street.
''Well | must face the music,' he said
to himself. with the sinking of the heart
every newspaper man experiences, soon
or late when he has TO explain things
to his chief.
The city editor looked up as he came
in and handed him a little slip of paper.
Heres an order on the cashier for
your salary. Burridge.' he said. ''There
won't be any need of your showing up
again"
Then his righteous anger rushed into
his voice as he fired the parting shot at
the reporter who had fallen down."
"a man who will let his paper get
scooped on Il big story like that has
right to over write line"'
Burridge went out, sick with humilia-
ton and chaGrin.
"Well. this finishes me in this town."
he said TO himself; but. by George. l
don't see how l could have left that little
chap up there alone"' And mechanically
he took the car that went in the direction

1t was impossible not to think of the
mules. They represented the chief in
telliGence in the contract.
The wedding journey began at FL
liotts back yard. whence the shack and
its furniture were to be transported to
the section of the plain adorned by the
Taylor residence. The mules were in
evidence. and they seemed to fully
realize their position the family sup

Taylor drove away. standing up in

The idea was good. Mrs. Elliott
grasped it with concealed eagerness.

"'Bout three weeks" Her cheerful

WAS he good TO you?"
Il reckon he was as good as most
when he was sobeh. Sometimes when
he'd been drinkin he use to beat me-
This had apparently been no cause
for resentment, but was regarded with
mild unconcern as the usual course of
nature.
What is your nameT
''LoO-eye-Za.'
Mrs Elliott gasped. but her necessi-
ties were great.
"Loo-eye-za. she said, with a gulp.
you may come tomorrow"
Early the next morning the shack
and shackhold effects appeared in
charge of a lazy. shiftless looking and
unkempt Texan ranger, smelling vilely
of tobacco and whisky Looeyeza fol-
lowed with smiling deliberation.
"Who is that man. asked Mrs. Ell
lott.
HE says his name is Mack Taylor"
In New Mexico it is the part of wis
dom to take a mans word for his
name and to make no further inquiries.

''He lives off yondch. an got him to

When the full New Mexican moon
hung overhead that night. flooding the
plains with silver sheen for a hundred
miles, unwOnted voices reached Mrs.
ElliOtts car. She made an errand into
the back yard. On 4 bench in the tent
door sat LooeyeZa and Taylor. His
feet were on another bench. and he
had shed his coat. He had the air of a
man perfectly ut home

he exclaimed. thrustins his pipe behind
him and trying to appear uncOncerned.
LOocycZa's smile was conscious and
silly.
LoOeycZa took no trouble to adjust
herself to her new conditions. She let
them fall around her and drape them
selves as they would. Her smile was

wonder her husband had beaten her.

SCOOPED.


Don't fall down on that story, Bur
ridge said the city editor. The Star
Is certain to play it up. Hustle out and
get your bearings, and then telephone in
for Wilkins to join you and make some
sketches. Find out all you about
the woman who was killed, and if she
was good looking get picture of her.
The young reporter hurried out on the
murder story just telephoned in from the
central station. He saw Briggs of The
Star and two or three of the other pa
pers' representatives on a Clark street
car, and he ran and swung to the
train just as it entered the tunnel. Fall
down on the story he kept repeating
to himself. We'll. l should say notv'
And he began planning Il lead for his re-
port that should eclipse every other. He
kept away from the other men purposely
and lost sight of them when they trims
ferred at North avenue.
The murdered woman still lay in a lit
tie wood colored house down by the river
1t had been a terrible crime, and the po-
lice, bafffed at first, were now keen as a
pack of hounds on the murderer's trail.
Burridge was going to look in on the
squald place where the victim lay and
then join the man hunt. The other re-
porters. with the excitement of the chase
in their veins. had not stopped to see her.
Burrdge found Il crowd of scared looking
people around the hut, but they We're SUI
perstitious and afraid of the unshriven
dead and had not been in.
He pushed his way through to the door
and entered. The dreadful shape lay on
the floor where it had fallen when the
struggle was over. He glanced and turn
ed faint with horror. If she proved to be
good looking, he was to get picture of
her. But no one could tell what that
blood yelled face had been by looking at
it now.
He saw Il picture in Il tawdry frame
on the wall-a girls weak, pretty face
below which was written: minnie, with
love to Arthur Minnie" That had
been her name. But ''Arthur?'
He stuffed the picture in his pocket
Perhaps here was clew the police might
make use of. Anyway, it would furnish
new material for conjecture in his paper.
He must hurry now and turn that in.
Every minute counted now. He turned
to the door. then stopped suddenly. \

He struck the door and then stared
around blankly. He could not see any
living thing. But, ah, There was a heap
of clothes in the middle of the bed. He
lifted them and found a baby where it
had been hidden as the last thought of
that poor doomed mother outside.
The child must have been there all
night. 1t was II wonder that it had not
smothcred. Rurridge took it up in his
arms and the little seeking mouth caught
his check. The reporter felt that APP
peal and forgot his newspaper. He went
out carrying the baby in his arms and
tried to induce the women at the gate to
take it and feed it.
But they drew away from it in dread.
