wondering, speculating-suppose Alice

asked a pleasant masculine voice. A
tall young man of about thirty, with a
number of gray locks in his wavy
brown hair, strolled into the room and
shook hands with Miss Van Spuyentuy-
fel, and dropped kiss at random on
Amy's outstretched fingers.
Amy gazed at her husband for an in
tant, and then said blandly, apropos or
nothing, "The same to you, Larry"
The same what? Oh, beg your
pardon, the same old grind of Merry
Christmas. Many of EN-, my dear.

To-day, Larry, my dear, is the day
upon which we must live for others, so
Aunt Martha says. Tell him how it
ought to be done, Auntie, dear"
But Aunt Martha had slipped away
and Amy saw pencilled upon an en-
velope her Aunt had slyly dropped be-
fore her. and which she read and in
stantly threw into the fire, Make life
worth while for someone else, and
it will then seem worth while to you"
Lawrence Price, grown over heavy
about the shoulders, and with rather
small feet that gave him the step of
one afreid of slipping, paced up and
down the room with his hands twisted
behind his back.
The pink of maid would have said
in her pretty kitchen parlance that her
masters face this morning looked
"bunged up" Nevertheless it was a
good face still In a year more it
might lose its genial curve of cheek
and chm, and the mild glow of the
oval dog-like brown eyes. Health and
natural amiabillty die hard Amy was
watching him furtively as he passed
and repassed her. She was standing
by the fire and her lavender gown
swrled around her supple form, and
her blonde beauty was as bewitching as
an angel on Christmas card. She
spoke very low and very slowly. 81

a light of something like wrath gather

Larry?"
Look here, Amy, what do you want

would be a very unworthy antagonist
Tor you in any social rivalry"
Amy's hand clasped the fire screen
as white shadow passed over her
averted face.
The mirror opposite reflected two
miserable young faces, revealing a mo-
mentary glimpse of certain capacities
for pain hitherto hidden by a surface
life of forms and follies that blunt the
fine edge of all human feeling.

that at first felt a temptation to pit
the country beauty's charms against
an array of our sophisticated stars.
But now, after considering her note,-

an unsteady, almost inaudible voice.

AS the letter fell from Larry's hand
he smiled sadly at his wife, and a
look of tears bedimmed his eyes. AS
he would have turned away signing,
she touched his leeve. There was a
sweetness in her upturned face that he

a small cane and with it beat coats. etc
thoroughly then lay them out smoothly on
a table and brush them. You will need two
brushes, one with stiff bristIes for brushing
out splashes of mud and softer brush for
ordinary use Take care that the garments
are quite dry before you brush them. then
start with the collar and work downward.
Light trousers may be easily cleansed by
rubbing them over with dry pipeclay, let
ting 1t remain on for four hours and then
brushing it out.
Spots in black cloth will generally WELD
to sponging with equal parts of hot water
and spirits of hartshorn, and little borax
dissolved in suds made of good soap and
soft water will cleanse wooden goods nicely.
To prevent coats from wrinkling keep
them when not in use on hangers.
If the elbow or knees get out of shape lay
damp cloth on them, fold them up and
leave them for a couple of hours. Then
lay the garment on the ironing board,
smooth out with palms of the hands and
pull gently In every direction till the
stretched part lies fiat. Cover with cloth
and press with an iron, but take care to
have a piece of material between the iron
and the cloth or a shiny mark will be left,
which will be as disfguring as the former

FOR AN OCTOBER LUNCHEON.
Handsome and Appropriate Decorations
That Cost Little.

From the Housekeeper.
The dining room should be gayly deco
rated with sprays of autumn leaves. If
possible, have long table of polished ma
hogany without table cover used for the
luncheon. Let long runner of ecru net
over yellow be placed down the middle of
the table, two runners crossing it across
the table. Doilics of net are used under the
plates that do not rest on the runners In
the center Of the table have pumpkin ho1-
lowed out and polished to the shining point
Fill this with bright red apples, oranges
bananas and grapes.
Long streamers of red ribbon should run
from the chandelier to the fourteen covers
laid, each ending in little bow which is
tied about a large yellow chrysanthemum
which, with spray of red leaves, stands in
a small but long-necked glass at the right
of each plate. These bouquets are for the
guests The name cards rest against these
glasses They are cardboard autumn leaves
the edges tinted with red and gold the
guests name painted in gold letters in the
center. Bonbon boxes are the only other
ornamentation on the table. These are
homemade and are not difficult of construc-
ton, bearing out the idea of the whole dec
Grafton There are sprays of autumn leaves
made from that ready friend of the deco
rator, crepe paper.
Cut the paper little larger than a nat
ural leaf making the veins with the aid of
a blunt instrument, care being taken not
to tear the paper. Each spray should con-
sist of three leaves fastened to wire stems
wound with brown crepe paper. One large
leaf and small one should be designed to
lie fiat on the table, The other large one
In each spray should be in about the center
OF the stem, the edges curled up over a
small paper-covered box which fills the en-
tire leaf, only its edges curling over it's
top In this box rest the bonbons which
should be yellow. The leaf sprays NAV be
either red or yellow, as fancy dictates. or NAV
be OF both colors. A little practice NAV be
necessary to make these leaf sprays to per-
lection, but once accomplished the hand
will find that with few deft twists. crepe
paper, cardboard, wire and paste, with the
addition of a bit of ingenuitv can worl,
wonders in decorative way for the table,
Care should be taken in curling the leaves,
using rather dull scissors blade to do the
work. w w o

THE WINTER WINDOW GARDEN.
Simple Hints for This Method of Beau
tifying the Home

From the Housekeeper.
There is nothing prettier or cheerier than
a windowful of thrifty growing plants. To
have an attractive plant window, follow
these four simple rules:
1. Choose plants adapted to room culture
and to the amount of sunshine they will re-
ceive.
2. Feed them well.
3. Keep them clean.
4. Keep all insects from them.
An ideal window garden contains both
foliage and Towering plants. There
should be the most of the latter In
fact, there need not be above one or two
foliage plants. If they are large and hand
some ones, in a small collection They
should always be what are known as speci-
Ecen plants, /. e., handsome enough and lux
uflant enough to stand in jardinier or on
a pedestal by themselves if one wanted tn
have them thus. These finely DEVELOPED.
bold-outiined specimens give breadth and
tone TO any collection. If one can afford a
nne palm or rubber plant these are ex-
cellent. But really good Boston fern or
luxuriant asparagus sprengerii or pIumosa
makes good substitute, or even bushy
rose geraniur1 or thrifty Gamma may be used
with Tar less drain on the pocket book Give

Her hats should avoid severeness in outline

A hat undermedium in size and with small
flowers or short tips or rows of moderate
size should be worn. With a small face and
