'"ralk is cheap-but it takes money to buy a farm"
 I once paid a visit to e woman of this censiderative variety. and while I realize that lay myself open to censure by oriticising one whose bread I have broken. l cannot help usins her as an illustration.
 I knew that few. if any, of her frfenos ever accepted second invitation to stay under her roof. but l never under stood why until my own visit Her re- ception was overwhelmingly cordial: Her manner and words were those or the provincial Spanish host, All that I have Is yours-take 1t and enjoy 1t.
 She made you enjoy yourself after your own fashion, but kept a sufficient ly strict eye upon you to make this impossible. She followed you every where with the offer of services that you could not accept; consulted your desires in matters that were far better left in her own hands. and wearied you with her assurances of her delight in your company and her admiration for your qualities as guest.
 The climax came when one afternoon I went driving with a neighbor. and was delayed beyond the appointed hour for supper. Not once before in the week of my stay had that meal been an nounced on time. but tonight, when I was fifteen minutes late, 1t had been kept waiting and the frigld poiiteness with which my apologies were received strikes chill to the marrow of my

- HERE Is an endless variety of
 curtains, good, bad and inatf-
 ferent - particularly indiRer-
 \ ent. How often do we see ex- pensive lace curtains with nothing really against them except that they are deadly uninteresting and hope iessly commonplace. And there Is real ly no excuse for 1t. For some or tne prettiegt window effects can be had with curtains costing but $1 pair.
 In my opinion, too few curtains have colors in them. It seems such a good opportunity to carry out the color scheme. and we can often soft en the light and give pretty erect to a room by using. for instance, light green or yellow silk sash curtains. Other pretty colored effects can be obtained by using colored madras curtains. These come in exquisite shades and with big hold designs, as well as small geometrical ones. One of the accompanying illustrations shows curtains of this sort. The curtains hang close against the sash and straight down. They have small brass rings. which move easily on the tiny brass rods. and so can readily be drawn back.
 It is great deal better to have simple curtains, good of their kind. rather than cheap copies of more expensive ones. Simple swiss curtains are always in good taste. and are used in many of the best homes. We can either by them ready made. with dainty rutfies. or we

Other pretty curtains can be made of scrim, bobbinet or fishnet, but these are more expensive.

DEFENDS SENATOR SHOOT.
Mr.. Worthington Says Mormon's Life
Has Been Blameless.

The final argument in the hearing of
protests against Senator Reed Smoot
being permitted TO retain his seat was
made before the committee on priyi-
leges and elections by A. 8. Worthing-
ton, counsel for the Utah senator. Mr..
Worthington cited authority in support
of his contention that it requires a two
thirds vote of the senate to GUST Mr..
SmoOt He declared that Mr.. Shoots
life had been blameless and that he
had been law abider In every sense
OF the word,
He asserted that plural marriages
are no longer performed with the
sanction of the Mormon church. TAX
ing up Mr.. Shoots confession that
he believed in divine revelations Mr..
Worthington compared this belief with
services in other churches. where
divine guidance is sought, and argued
that Mr.. Shoots belief is the same
as that of followers of other creeds.
Members of the committee interro-
gated Mr.. Worthington concerning the
alleged necessity of members of the
Norman church of attaining church
consent to become candidates for
public Office. Mr. Worthington read
from the church rule as laid down in
the Moses Thatcher case and construed
this to mean that if high church Off
cial desire to become candidate for
public Office he must resign his church
office or he excused from duties in
connection with the church position, if
it conflicts with duties to the public
Mr.. Worthington argued that every
thing that has been charged against
the Norman church in the way of ac-
tivity in politics and business was
known when Utah was admitted as
state and that one of the first senators
from Utah was Frank ]. Cannon, who
was a Mormon, and more subject to
criticism that Mr.. Smoot can be and
yet no protest was made against him.

could you kill the gallant cavalier and
give the lady to the crop-eared Whig?'
This was the remark, of the natural
man. Scott kept the natural man in

Mr.. Lang speaks roundly as to what
the Waverly novels are not. For in
stance:
"They are not the work of a pas
sionate. a squalid or totally unedu-
Gated genius. They are not the work
of any Peeping Tom who studies
woman in her dressing-room anu. tries
to spy or smell out the secrets of the
eternally femenine. We have novels
today-novels by males-full of clever
sayings and dissections of womankind,
which Scott would have thrown into
the fire. I think writes Mr. Hutton,
that the deficiency of his pictures of
women should be greatly
attributed to his natural chivalry.
He hardly ventured, as it
were, in his tenderness for them, to
look deeply into their little weak
nesses and intricacies of character"
The opinion is shared by Mr.. Lang,
as the following quotation will show:
"As Moliere never had the heart to
draw jealous woman, among all his
pictures Of men who know, like him.

never had the heart to draw a young

This ancient familiar source of poign-
ant interest he passes by out of his
great chivalry. There was nothing to
prevent him from writing a romance
on the passionate, wretched tale of the
once beautiful Ulrica, in Ivanhoe,' a
fair traitress driven on the winds of
revenge, treachery, parricide and in

tic novel of England after the con-
quest, but Scott sketches it lightly, as
Thyestean horror in the background.
In his work such piece of realism
stands alone, like the story of Phoenix
in HOmer's work Tin the ninth book of
the 'IliadD. Both artists, Scott and
Homer, had sense of reverence of
human things; they did not lack the
imagination necessary for the por-
trayal Of the evil and terrible, but
they did not seek success in that popu-
lar region. Scott was no prude, but
he held the young in reverence. know
ing that among them he must have
many readers.

him because he imposed on himself
limitations which Byron triumphantly
broke through, though SCOTS limits
