Jones, the neighbors named her. She
certainly had the habit bad. First she
bought half dozen of the principal!
poets on The dollar q week idea and
then she started furnishing the new
house with a dollar Il week down. The
first month it certainly seemed as if
her rooms We're going to get filled for
nothing. To be sure, some of the ar
ticles were little tawdry-not in the
best taste, perhaps-but, as Mrs. Jones
explained, she had to take that par
ticular color and design because they
didn't have any Others In hand And
think Of the cheapness of the whole
thing, my dear" she would exelalm
in accents % honest pride.
Well, the second month came around
and with it strings of tradespeople
whose accounts made money seem
scarce when the installment man came
around, and most unreasonably, it
seemed, wanted more money.
In the end his visits came to be per-
p"tual horrors, and Mr.. Jones in dis
gust, after finding out the total amount,
went to the bank, drew $500 and set
tied the amount once and for all. He
also threatened Mrs. Jones with di-
vorce if she didn't select some cheaper
form of hobby.

street crowds I'm Caraca,.

One of the features Of the city Of
Caracas, Venezuela, that most strongly
impresses a foreigner is the rapidity
with which a crowd gathers In the
streets. This is best exemplified when
some of the many wandering musicians,
in whom Caracas abounds, prepare to
give an impromptu open air concert.
Their first notes no sooner echo
through the neighborhood than there
gathers to listen vast throng that al
most blocks up the thoroughfare. The
cobblers and oil the other tenants Of
the entries, having no doors to open or
stairs 10 descend, are on the spot al
most instanter. They eagerly drink In
the music, but at the same time bear
a wary eye upon the hats of the mu-
siciaiis, and no sooner do they OBJ
serve The slightest indication that one
is about to be taken of for the purpose
of taking up collection by passing it
around among the crowd than they dis

Ihere can be no reasonable com
plant that women may not do nova
days anything which they can do well.
The record of single week tells of a
woman elected collector Of taxes: of
another winri1g in competition the ap-
po'atinent as sculptor of the fifteen
tnousand-dollar bronze doors of the
chapel at Annapolis Naval Academy I:
OF third who has made a country
home selfsupporting by the raising Of
chickens, rabbits and cats; and of two
other women who have sent one and
half million roses to market In a
year. Surely these achievements rep
resent wide range Of employments
From the studio to the dollhouse and
from the town treasury to the cattery,
the variety is large enough to suit all
tastes.
Success II any Of these directions
has not come by accident. 1t stands for
a certain whole hearted devotion TO
work, a study of scientific or artistic
methods; In short, of a wise grasp of
the results Of previous experiment.
and a courageous improvement upon
them. Not one Of the four occupations
Implies to the thoughtful person of to-
day any of the "unsexing" Of the work
ers on which critics harped so con-
stantly forty years ago. 1t is not I'M
likely that the tax collector drives
about her country district with her
children In her wagon. Rose-house and
chicken yard are natural accompani-
ments Of real home. The scuiptor's
work Is exacting, II is true, In its de-
mand for personal freedom. But even
that may not prevent the artist from
being the most beloved of old maid
aunts.
Until women acquire the habit OF
disobeying the heart at the command
of the head, they may safely be trust

Before Antonio had left her room the
next morning little note was brought
to her by Lady Betty's maid.
Come and speak to me. l have some
thing of Importance to say to you," was
penc:led on the scrap of paper.
Antonio sent word to say she would
obey Lady Betty's summons. 1t was tie
first time she had ever been invited to
enter the large, luxurious bedroom.
II want you TO give me a promise"
she said; and Antonio had looked at her
a little in surprise.
what promise, Lady Betty?" she ask
ed.
ut is a very simple one, yet a very
wise and necessary one, dear Antonio.
you are so young, and you are so much in
love, that cold common sense and discre-
ton do not even enter into your mind.
] want you to promise me that you will
say nothing about your friendship with
Hubert Tenby for the moment. ask this
for your own sake entirely. l am not go
ing to judge him one way or another.
Since you who knew him so we'll decla re-
him to be innocent, am only glad to be-
lieve that he is innocent but l am not all

task before hi INTO clear his name. As
your uncle's wife, Antonio. have felt
that it is my duty to urge you to say
nothing about Hubert one way or another
till everything is arranged and your en-
gagement can be made public"
II give you this promise very easily"
said Antonio in her earnest way. Il do
not know that should have spoken about
Hubert even to you, had ] not felt that
l must give you an explanation of my
absence last night. l had thought of
telling Uncle Edward that Hubert has
come back. l do not think there would
be any harm in that"
Dear Edward is the last person in
the world lnat should be told anything
80 important. My dear Antonio, you
cannot imagine what an absent minded
creature he iS! l myself have more than
once sharply regretted having spoken 10
your uncle on certain subjects. He does
not mean 10 make muddles: he is so good
such a dear old thing But he makes
them. Well, l am glad that You see the
necessity of silence, Antonio II is only
fair TO Hubert that he should clear him
self, and until he does so, dear as he is
to you, you must not let yourself be pub
licly associated with him. l am quite
sure" Lady Betty said, meekly, that he
himself would wish this"
Il thank you very much, Lady Betty.
Hubert will clear himself. OF that ! am

JULIET'S MOTHER.
She Made Friends with Everybod,
IN n

She Made Friends with Everybody,
to Her Daughters Discomfort.
Juliet sat with the letter in her hand,
her face flushed with annoyance OF
course it was natural enough that her
mother should want to see the settle
ment, and Juliet would have been glad
to have her come down for a day: that
would have been long enough to take
her all over the institution and show
her something of its working Then to
make the visit complete they could have
gone off 10 lunch somewhere quietly to-
gether. Really, she said TO herself, she
had been meaning ever since she came
to have mother come down for day.
But three days. That would mean
that everybody would see Juliet's
thought faltered then and her flush
deepened. She would not acknowledge
to herself that she was ashamed to have
her fellow workers met her mother,
and yet She could see her mothers
bewilderment over the scientific table
talk which was one of the hobbies of
Underwood House, and oh, could she
keep from telling Mrs. HalIam all about
her children's babyhood and recon-
mending sumac gargle to the professor
for his throat?
Yet as Juliet was dutiful daughter,
there was but one thing for her to do
Two days later she went down to the
station, and returned with a tiny
brown-eyed woman whose every glance
and movement radiated pride in my
daughter Juliet"
The next three days were full of
discomfort to Juliet, although she tried
bravely not to show it. Little Mrs.
Williams made friends at sight with
every one, from Professor Hallam down
to the cook. That was the trouble-it
always had been the trouble with her
mother; she never could be made to
understand why clothes or education or
position should make any difference be-
tween folks
One afternoon her daughter found
her in a mothers meeting, blissfully
cuddling baby while she alternately
talked baby talk to tne tiny creature
and exchanged experiences with the
mothers. A little later she discovered
her mending a skirt for the cook, and
later still, deep in confidential con-
versation with the janitor. When the
three days were over, Juliet's mother
drew long sigh of mingled regret and
delight.
Il certainly have enjoyed it, deary,"
she said. Il shouldn't be surprised if
come down again soon, they all seem
so friendly"
II hope you will, mother" Juliet
faltered.
AS Juliet returned from the station
the morning her mother left, Professor
Hallam met her.
$50 your mother really has gomez"
be asked. Il had a half hope that you
might bring her back again, after ALL
l would have given more to keep her
here than any one I've ever seen."
But she doesn't know anything
about settlement work at all ~ exclaim-
ed the young woman.
II know" the professor returned
''but she has something better genius

from training; it comes from the grace
