Il am most anxious STILL the professor said
earnestly At any rate, you will be my guest

Not for moment" She stamped her foot
and moved to the door again. but Mrs. Fray took
hold of her arm
Then be mine, my dear" she begged q am

Indeed you can't" the professor declared
She drew deep breath. Il will stay tonight
with Mrs Fray, she said slowly. "Good-evening,
Sir" She bowed to the professor with great dignity
When they had gone he poked the fire almost to
destruction.
Well I'm dashed" he muttered Poor
little thing! Poor little thing l suppose I'd better
leave her alone till tomorrow. It's very awkward;
but Really almost think should like her.
He sat down again to his writing but could not
fix his mind upon it. At last he got up resolutely
and walked round to Mrs. Trays room. They
were talking over the fire Miss Cousins eyes
appeared as though she had been crying, but they
flashed when he appeared.
I won't intrude for long, he said pleasantly.
Il wanted to say that you nistook my surprise,
which l know l showed very awlwardly, for dis
pleasure. Now that l have had time to realize
thoroughly the defect in your age, and mine, |

Miss Cousins looked at him frowningv for a

into smile, and suddenly she held out her hand.

wiped her eyes furtively.
After few moments the professor put his hand
on her shoulder. q am SO glad that it would have

There is the long room" Mrs. Fray suggested

"Then may have my party"
Certainly, if you really wish it.
Il shall enjoy it above everythingr She held
out her hand impulsvely DO let me say
one thing. If I had been a child, I should
have liked to be your little girl,
He took her hand and held it tight. If I were
old professor should be, you would be my
big girl instead. As it is, I'm afraid there's
way out of it; but be friends"
Yes" she agreed emphatically.
Then they went down to the drawing room.

some songs and some voice They had been trying
songs for an hour when Mrs. Fray peeped in.
They did not notice her and she nodded and smiled
she retreated down the passage.
They'll find a way out of it, she prophesied.

Mrs. Fray laughed Historically "A baby?"
she cried. " Here the baby comes -
There was another tap at the door, and Jack

up from his chair if he had been shot. His hair
would have stood on end if hair ever did

mistake
The baby" turned red and stared at him. Then
she tossed her head indignantly What is the

The professor looked hard at her. She was light

no fault to find with the baby, but one-she was
twenty years of age.
Surely you not Mr., Jacksons daughter?"
he said slowly. I expected quite little child.

Il can't help being young" he said, if you

that it saves mamma steps. If the

ing a good appearance through the

It's a sort of passe look that makes
you think you were misled in the quail
ity of the goods-and you paid the
price for something first-rate.
Not every woman has a long gown
trunk or a gown box in which to put
her garments loosely placed and so
no creases ensue. The average woman
hangs her skirts and waists on hook
in a closet-and spoils THEN appear
ance in short order
To obviate this, get some coathang-
ers, just ordinary coathangers. Slip
the curved bar into the top of your
skirt and hang the long wire hook on
the hook in the closet. Hang your
waist the same way-the bar will hold
the back and front straight out.
Do this and you will be surprised by
the quite new look of your skirts and
waists for a long while. They will
wear better, toO-so it pays all around

About Trained Nurses.

All trained nurses take the same
courses, and are. as far as education
goes. alike: it is only their duties that
differ. The visiting district nurse
must adapt herself to one line, the
school nurse to anothcr. and the ordi-
nary trained nurse that goes out in
families to yet another. Still another
class of visiting nurse has been tried
in some cities with satisfaction to her
patrons; that is the hourly nurse. -
Boston is now giving her a trial, and
is very well satisfied There are so
many cases where it is not to be ex-
pected that the patient viii need a
nurse more than a day or two, and to
engage the usual trained nurse means
that she must remain for week at
least; no trained nurse would take a
shorter time than that and no one
would think of asking her to, but that
means from $21 to $25. and often the

The Girl from School.

The daughter who comes home from
boarding school is often a disappoint-
ment to her mother. Is it not so? She
is inclined to be critical and make re-
marks about the furniture, the table,
even your gowns, which hurt bitterly,
even though she is your daughter. She
seems disconnected with the old life
And you are at a loss as to what is to
be done. But do not take the situation

She loves you just as much, but she is
young, and has been away.
Although she seems very self-as-
sured, very confident of herself and
her abilities, she has only not gone
far enough to realize how little she
knows. She must be led by affection,
and led with tact and gentleness. If
she wants to make changes in the

The Rich Arc Slow PAYERS.

1t is notorious, writes Cleveland
Mcffett in Success, that the rich are
often scandalously slow in paying
their bills. | recall one instance where
the wife of a northumberland (she
was afterward divorced), took no no
tice, month after month. of a bill
amounting to over $4,000 for her
daughters wedding trousseau, and this
bill was not paid for more than
year after the ceremony, and only
then because a resourceful collector
held up" the multi-millionaire himself
in the street one day, and finally got
his check.
| have been told of several rich
women in the smart set, two of them
very rich, who are wont to haggle over
prices in the shops as if they were in
genteel poverty. One of these ladies,
whose snowy Newport fetes are wide
ly proclaimed, tried, on a certain occa-
sion, to beat down" an estimate for
candle shades favOrs, etc, that she
wanted in hurry for dinner dance,
and, having failed in her effort. she
finally exclaimed: ''Why, you oughtn't
to charge me Il cent for these things!
Think of the advertising you can get
out of it, If you treat me right I'll
see that your place is mentioned by
all the reporters
And another, whose husband is one
of the richest men in the world, actu-
ally wept before a New York dress
maker in her pleadings for a reduc-
ton of $15 on the price of a certain
garment that she simply had to have
but couldn't afford, she declared, out
of the small allowance made her by
her husband.
