some "reminiscences Of her recent trAv.
els"
How Miss Lucy got upon her feet and
made her way to the front Of the plat
form, she could never have told. There
she stood, shrinking little figure clad
in soft gray silk, with creamy lace at
throat and wrists. A window behind her
threw her face into strong relief and ac-
centuated its paleness.
Her heart beat violently. She was
unable to articulate a word. Just then
her gaze CHANGED to rest upon the coarse,
hooking face of DR.. Lord. Behind Linn
sat Doctor Terryll. One glance into his
sympathizing eyes, and Miss Lucy was
herself.
II spent several weeks in Lancaster,
Vermont" she began, speaking in a clear
voice that could be heard all over the
hall. Il went there with an object.

life Of young man in whom l had be-

think he had once lived there. After
quite a spell, found out was right.
He had had good education. but had
grown up an idle. good-fOr-nothing, spend.
ing term in the house Of correction for
theft. After awhile, he left Lancaster
because the officers were after him, went
to Chicago, dropped the last part Of Ibis
name, bought a diploma from q bogus
medical college, and came to Granville as
Doctor Lorenzo Lord, man Of honor
and a practicing physician. I call bis
conduct mean-as mean as pusley."
A'moment's silence followed the cessa-
ton Of her voice. Then cheers for Miss

the air. In the confusion he escaped
from the room. Miss Lucy explained
that, seeing the words, Lancaster, Yer
mont, written in book loaned to ES-
telle by the doctor, had recalled to her
mind that she had cousin living there,
and also suggested to her means where
by she might learn something Of his
past.
The meeting soon broke up. As the
crowd was leaving the hall, Mrs. Smith
caught Doctor Terryu by the arm.
"Oh, doctor, won't you see to Miss
Lucy? I'm afraid she is going to faint,
and must tend to the coffee. She's be-
hind the flowers"
He nodded. Advancing to Miss Lucy's
side, he took both her hands in his.
"You brave little woman! How did
you find the courage for it?'
Il did 1t for your sake, David"
A half hour later they entered the din
ing room. The huge Drowned turkeys
were on the tables. and the air was laden
with appetizing odors. Some one had
just brought the news that Doctor Lord
had left town on western-bound train.
The cheers which this news provoked had
not died away when Doctor Terryii APP
peared IN the doorway, Miss Lucy ON his
arm.
Friends, this is indeed Thanksgiving
to me-" he began. Congratulate me.
Miss Lucy has promised to marry me
next week."
And again Granville cheered.-The
Housewife.

Care Of Clothes.

Air your clothes after taking them Off
and before putting them away. Let the
bodice of dress hang over the back Of
Il chair for at least half an hour before
you put it away, but II possible keep 1t
out some time longer. Children should
be taught to turn their stockings inside
out at night and to hang them over a
chair. Body linen should be treated in
the same manner, not folded up in the
neat little heaps that our grandmothers
used to insist upon, for the latter,
though tidier-looking, are by no means
sanitary. Air Is great purifier, and
clothes through which 1t Is allowed to
circulate freely will be kept from that
stuffy. musty smell which characterizes
garments that are folded and put away
directly they have been worn.

HOME IS wOMAN's CREATION.

ON order that a woman may be
successful and happy In her home
q life she must inevitably regard her
work as worthy the highest education
and enthusiasm. Let her know. before
she enters upon 1t, that 1t must for
years occupy the greater part Of her
thoughts and time-there Will be sea-
sons when it must occupy her whole
time--and be content that this is so
because of the value Of the result to
be attained. The home where peace
and order reign, and sweet influences
Of industry and education. Of courte-
sy and religion prevail. Is not made
by chance. The woman's thought. and
study, and ability have entered into 1t
and determined it's character.
Where the duties are performed In
dustriodsly and quietly, where the
children are healthy, gentle and ODE
dent, where the conversation shows
intellectual life and generous thought
and the spirit of the home In its activi-
ties and pleasures is love, and joy, and
peace-the praise is due, first to the
woman, who as wife and mother. and
mistress, and housekeeper and home
maker, has made 1t her study and
pleasure to rule her kingdom diligent-
", and with intelligence and love. The
home Is her creation, springing from
her own ideal Of what Is good and
fair. and speaks to mankind as truly
rs If her thought had expressed itself
in writing. 1t Is work of the highest
art. If woman thus regarded her
work at home she would settle her
mind to 1t without that restlessness
and discomfort she will always feel If
in her heart Of hearts she regard his
tory. or art. or higher mathematics as
being more worthy of her attention.

Old School House Where the Great

old building in which the illustrious
This ancient institution Of learning
stands in lone pasture, and surround
ed by grazing sheep and inhabited now
by bats and owls, 1t still retains halo
Of respect from those who are acquaint-

more than hundred years old, and
though the outside has fallen in in
many places the frame will probably
stand for many years more.
The single apartment is lathed and
plastered, overhead the walls are
sheathed with very wide pine boards
with strips Of cloth pasted over the
cracks, and the whole papered with
newspapers. Some of these papers were
found bearing dates as early as 1861,
and underneath these others yellowed
with age and past deciphering. Two
small windows, one on each side Of the
room, furnish the only light, and door
leading into the narrow entry, the exit.
The huge fireplace has been removed.

TO PURIFY WATER. FREEZE IT.
Ice Drives Impurities Out nfrozen
Portion Retains Them.


Portion Retains Them.
That frozen water Is pure water Is
an idea that has been handed down
from generation to generation, and
there is usually a good deal Of fact in
these old sayings, although we may
wonder how the people Of former times
contrived to discover these things. Re
cent Investigations prove the truth Of
this saying.
As water freezes so the impurities
are eliminated, and IL the Ice be taken
away before the whole body of water
Is frozen that ice is pure. II the whole
of the water freezes 1t follows as a
matter Of course that the impurities
must be included. writes reporter in
the New York American. Thus in pools
where the water begins to freeze from
the top the impurities are thrown to
the bottom, and the Ice taken away
from the upper part of the body of
water is pure.
The water that still retains the i'm
purities Is the last to freeze. Some
makers of artificial Ice produce 1t from
water that is not pure, and they make
a hole through the outer crust, before
the liquid is completely consolidated.
so as to allow the muddy portion of
the fluid to run out.
OF bacilli, 1t Is calculated that 90
per cent are thrown out in freezing,
while nine out Of every remaining ten
are killed by the process, and thus rem
dered innocuous. Most Of the remain
ing per cent will die in twenty-four
hours unless the ice be melted.

The underskirt this year Is as i'm

Mt the back to correspond with the
outer skirt, with the fullest Of frills
from the knees to the feet.
Deep collars, although very notice
able in furs, velvet. ETC., are not used
so much on the tailor-made frOcks,
where the only permissible collar is a
double or triple cape Of cloth, which
seems to continue almost to the waist,
giving a kind Of bolerO effect.
The cape ruffle has brought into ia
vor capes and nantes and gowns.
These cape collars are cut in godet
fashion and are quite plain at the top,
but frlll little Mt the edge. The
spreading highwayman collar Is less
compact and is cut in semigodet style.
It goes we'll with the sack coat which
has no neckband.
The outing skirts-all walking skirts,
in fact-are, as rule, being made up
unllncd. The circular skirt has dis
appeared and on such costumes the
shaped founce Is used. The gOred
skirt with flare below the knees and
heavy stitching or strapping Is popu-
lar, but the plated skirt is the new
model and Is making heroic efforts to
dominate the field. 1t appears in side
or kilt plaits and in the very broad
shallow box plaits stitched fatty two
thirds Of the skirt length and then left
to flare. Tailors. having found great
difficulty In shaping and fitting these
plated skirts smoothly over the hips,
are now compromising in large per-
centage of cases and avoiding thick
ness by using Il closely fitted plain hip
yoke. to which the plated skirt is at
tached with excellent effect.
