A Syringe to Catch WoodcockS Wltnal
It was a true word Yvette Foy had
snoken when she said that she had a def
mite offer to make to Jean Cavalier She
and she alone had discerned that this youth
was the crux of the revolt. She had per-
suaded the great general the Marquis de
Montrevel marshal of France. that If the
young Comisard could but be brought over
to the side of the king the revolt in the
Cevennes. which had famed and fiickered
on for many years, would be finished
once and for all
And since Yvette never did anything for
nothing, as a price for carrying out this.
the marquis had promised that she should
be publicly acknowledged as his wife.
This was a matter of great moment to
Hvette Foy, who, more than godlness and
an entrance to heaven. desired to be known
as the wife of a marshal of the kingdom.
The marechal had laughed at this, and.

Flower-o'-the-Corn Finds Friend

But in spite of the plots against the
Camisard strongholds, and the well-con-
sidered innocencies of Mistress Yvette,
there were still hearts in the world simply
and joyously happy.
Such was that of our sweet Flower-o-
the Corn. when, looking down the piled
mystery of the street OF Saint Veran, In
the early winter morning, she saw her
father approaching in company with a
young man. Both were mounted on great
Flemish cart horses. and both wore over
their other garments the rough blouse of
the ordinary tiller of the soil.
But, underneath the dirt and discom-
fort inseDarable from such an adventure
as these two had undertaken, it was inn
possible for Flower-o'- theCorn for mo-

seen-whOm she had known-aS Pierre the

he was riding by her fathers side as If

HOW TO KEEP CLOTHES
GOOD RESULTS.
Trousers Should Be Laid Out in Long
Drawer-Study Your
Closet.

From the Haberdasher.
The proper care of clothes is little under
stood by the average man. while its value
Is conceded by all. The time spent upon
apparel In keeping it fresh and clean and
free from creases is well expended. 1t is
economical to take good care Of your cloth
ing, for 1t not only makes them loook bet
ter but greatly prolongs their life. The man
with a few well-kept garments presents a
better appearance than the man who has
plenty of badly kept clothes. The former
always looks well. the latter never. Shah
biness Is made up Of grease spots. wrinkles
and dirt. and not of threadbare Spots.
Clothes well kept last much longer than
clothes on which no attention Is bestowed.
Shoes.
All boots and shoes when not in use
should be kept on trees. These may be OBJ
tanned from any store for a few cents
pair. One dollar will buy a very good pair.
BY using trees the shoes will keep their
shape as long as you care to wear them.
They also prevent the leather from crack
ing or creasing.
You may have a bag made of any heavy
cotton material like denim. and have pock-
cts put In this in rows for any number Of
pairs Of shoes that you may care to keep
a pocket for each shoe. OF course, it Is
hardly necessary to say that all shoes
should be carefully cleaned and kept from
drying up.
Hosiery and Underwear.
Hose and half-hose must measure in
inches. from the toe to the heel. the same
number as the size. Thus. size must
measure eight inches. and so on. This rule
is invariable

A Voice of Spring.

Written for The Evening Star by Harry L. Stone.
Spring-and that magic wand has broke the seal
Upon the trees by winter wind laid bare.
New-old thou art. or, Spring-the ever-new,
And yet-ten thousand years have seen thy smil-
ing face
Since that glad day when, hurled In the past,
You burst the bonds of childhood and declared
The power and beauty of our Lord and sang
Among the lilies, and for endless aeons yet shall
sing
"Glory to God-if the Spring am good
And beautiful, how much more is He who gave
me life."
And down among the flowers heard the cry
From Natures breast. and 1t echoed on and on,
'Glory to God in the highest, for evermore."

Through the dim shadows something more than all
That can belong to time or earth or me.

Are but as children stumbling as we tread
With needless haste, hesitatinG dread,
Our self-appointed way;
Nor pause to hear Him say
In the wfnd's whisper as 1t fans the sea,

Washing Underwear.

The following is a good direction for
washing Atwood underwear: Make a warm
suds of some good soap like Ivory. Soak
the garments for few moments and wiring
out by hand. Remove spots by gentle
hand manipulation and then rinse two or
three times in clear. warm water. The
proper heat for the water is 11S degrees
Fahrenheit. Always wiring the water out
holding the garment lengthwise and hang
up to dry the same way. Draw the gar
ment down as long as possible. Do not be
afraid of getting 1t too long. Always keep
water at the same temperature and keep
garment the same while wet. Do not let
garment freeze while drying. Do not rub
soap on garment or rub on washboard. 1t
must receive no mauling or rubbing.
Putting on New Hosiery.
Wearers of fine yarn golf and cycling
hose will be careful in putting them on, to
avoid straining or breaking the yarn. by
turning the hose wrong side out to the
heel. and then inserting the foot, after
which. roll the stocking back over the leg,
thereby preserving the shape of the stock
ing and insuring its wearing qualities.
All clothing should be carefully hung up.
and If you will study your closet and use
the modern appliances which are easily
procured you can keep great deal of CLOTH
ing in good condition in very small space.
The cheap twisted wire coat racks are good
enough. On these put the waistcoat and
then over the waistcoat put the coat. There
are also patent trouser hangers which keep
the trousers pressed in shape, but 1t is
much easier to fold your trousers properly
and lay them in the bottom of your closet
or In long drawer. A piece of paper
should be put between each pair of trou-
sers. and it will not hurt them if they have
to be folded once. In lightweight suitings,
such as homespuns and f1annels, it is much
better to lay the trousers out fiat in a
drawer than to hang them up. All cloth
ing should be carefully brushed and kept as
free from dust as possible.
