 They crealied up some narrow stairs, avoiding the walls. ' Ere,s the room" said the fat lady, opening low door in which brown paper supplied the place of an absent panel so well that you wouldn't know the difference till you put your arm through.
 'Is it?p said Bertie. Even he seemed little startled. Then he re- covered himself and remarked cheer fully: The very thing. How much will this be now?"
 Seven an six" said the fat lady.

 She seemed touched.
 "If you take it for a month" she said, you can ave it fur fve-an'-six. ''
 Done said Bertie, land do we get it for nothing if we take it for two months? And what do you pay us if we take it for three?" ,
 "Five-an'-six a week is the price, V she replied; you may take it or leave it. And the money down."
 My poor darling said Bertie, fold ing Eva in his arms. For you I will now work my fingers to the bone.''
 Don't be foolish." she said, strug. gling to release herself.
 T will write a play and managers shall hear me. I swear it. And when my fingers get to the bone" Don't talk rubbish!' And you shall be the heroine. will portray your character. You are hungry?"
 "Awfully.' Very we'll, I will be back in mo. ment."
 When Bertie returned with parcel done up in piece of newspaper Eva was on her knees, staring wildly at i vague heap of coal ard burnt paper in the grate Her cheeks were ex, hausted with puffing, and her hail struggled.
 Good said Bertie. My little ; wifey has been doing her duty" If you talk like that I'll go home, said Eva. sharply. How jolly this is," he said, un- wrapping the parcel and revealing half a loaf and a piece of cheese Haven't had such dinner for many a day"
 Dinner" cried Eva. leaping up ir excitement. "Well?" said Bertie. ! Dinner! I'd absolutely forgotten We asked the Wardlaws and the duke of Bloomsbury to dine with us to night"

Learning from Maps.

While the prince and princess of Wales are touring India, their little chi!- dren left al home arc following their course on the maps. learning geography in an unusual and interesting way. The children of princes. however. says Youths Companion. are not the only ones who can learn geography thus.

 Well. now about that play" he continued. How about spending the evening studying some good model?"
 You mean at a theater."
 Yes; do you think We can afford it?"
 He produced his few remaining shillings.
 We might do a gallery somewhere If we can get in.'
 "It's extravagant." said Eva. but l don't see how 70 avoid it." She was already putting her hat on. Bertie said nothing. Hand in hand they strolled out. They walked for half an hour.
 Here's a gallery entrance" said Bertie.

STOVE SET UP ON POSTS.
Pipe Was Short and It Had to Be Elevated to Reach
 the Roof.

During the college days of ex-Mayoi Bessom. of Lynn, he had two of the professors of the college as guess al a hunting camp in the Maine woods relates the Boston Herald. When they entered the camp their attention was attracted to the unusual position of the stove. which was set on posts about four feet high.
 One of the professors began to com ment upon the knowledge woodsmen gain by observation. Now said he. this man has discovered that the heat radiating from the stove strikes the roof and the circulation is so quick ened that the camp is warmed in much less time than would be required if the stove was in It's regular place or the floor
 The other professor was of the opin- ion that the stove was elevated to be above the window. in order that cool and pure air could be had at night.
 Mir. Bessom. being more practical contended that the stove was elevated in order that a good supply of green wood could he placed beneath 1t to dry. After considerable argument, each mar placed dollar bill upon the table, and it was agreed tsht the one whose opin- ion was nearest the guides reason for elesating the stove should take the rool. The guide was called and asked why the stove was placed in such ar unusual position.
 Well said he. when brought the stove up the river lost most of the stovepipe overheard and had to set the stove up there 90 as to have the pipe reach through the roof" = He got the money.

State Auditor T. M. Henry, who Is
also pension commissioner, has for.
warded each of the chancery clerks OF
the State a supply of blank applications
for new pensioners. Only the new PEN
sioners have to apply this year. Those
now on the rolls do not have to make
new applications, but the county boards
OF pension examiners are required to
carefully revise the list of old pension
ers and strike therefrom all deceased
pensioners, or those who have moved
from the county since the last distribu-
ton. 1t is not thought the new list
will be a large one-possibly will not
exceed 500 for the entire State. The
list comprises 1921 pensioners of all
classes. Applicants for a pension
should apply to their chancery clerk
for an application blank.

paper was used as the table cover and
there we're centerpieces Of Battenbure
embroidered in roses. The candles
were pink with pink shades. Straw
berry ice cream was served with pink
and white layer cake.
For the seventh table nile green was
used and moro crepe paper was found
available. Even the legs of the table
were wound in green paper and the
candles were in the same shade II
1T Is the desire to make this table very
realistic have white carnations colored
light green or use the light green pa
per flowers. Serve mint candies.
The eighth and last table was done
in lavender and of course lilacs, vio-
lets, hyacinths or thistles may be used.
according to the season. The lavender
crepe paper with china-berry blossoms
makes a pretty table. At this table
homemade candies were sold.
The young women, themselves, did
the selling. If it is possible for all to
wear gowns of the color represented
at their respective tables SO much the
better, but neck ribbons and sashes OF
the colors should be worn, at least,
with white gowns.
Tickets were given on entering and
at each table were punched for that
course. This idea is good also for a
church affair.

YELLOW JACKET OF CHINA
Not an Article of Dress, But an Hon-
or, Like the Garter in
ENGLAND.

Much amusement was ca ed in
| England some years ago by the news
hat Lii Hung Chang had been de-
prived of his yellow riding jacket for
presuming to wander in the empress
of China's private garden. But in
| reality, says the author Of Round
About My Picking Garden" a yellow
| riding Jacket is not an article Of dress
but an honor, like the garter in Eng
land, and all the insignia of rank, like
the peacock's feather, the button, the
| necklace and the breastplate, are re-
movable at the sovereign's pleasure In
| deed. the whole of a Chinese officials
| salary is so real or imaginary, that to
| save trouble many officials never draw
their salary till the year is ended.
when they get what is left.
All through China dress is changed
as by order. There are six changes
Of attire which every s~elf-respecting
man must make according to the e
son-heavy furs In the depth of winter,
then light furs, then wadded garments,
then lined clothes, unlined and finally
what they call summer clothes, made
out of China grass. 1t is made in
white and blue and it's one drawback
for the English market is that it never
wears out.
There are caps made of plated bam-
boo, lightly covered with silk outside.
In the height Of She summer none but
officials wear caps, and there are fur
trimmed hats and fur caps.
On the same day all through the
vast empire, stretching over nearly as
many degrees of latitude as Europe,
men change from one cap to another,
from one style Of clothes to another.
Before the day for changing Ill the
tailors may be seen hard at work cut
ting ont and pasting the edges of the
new suits.
The Chinese cut for jackets may be
considered perfect, SO far as convent
ence goes, and many persons think
that they are also peculiarly elegant.

Very Trying.

A man who usually grumbled at
everything and on every occasion, was
attacked By rheumatism. He was care
fully nursed by his wife, who was very
devoted to him, in spite of his fault
finding disposition. Sometimes the
sight of his suffering caused her to
burst into tears as she sat at his bed
side.
One day a friend of the invalid came
in, and asked him alphabetically how
he was getting on.
BADLY, badly!" he exclaimed: "and
it's all my w:fe's fault"
els it possible?" asked the visitor, in
surprise.
"Yes. The doctor told me that damp
places were bad for me; and there my
wife sits and cries just to make tina
air In the room moist

A Progressive Luncheon.

A group of young women who de.
sired to raise money for a club gave
the following progressive dinner,
which proved a tremendous success,
financially and socially.
The first table was done entirely in
white, with white flowers for decOra-
ton and white paper napkins. Cream
of chicken or cream of celery soup,
with crackers, was served.
The second table was in green.
Ferns were scattered about the cloth.
In the center was a palma dainty
fern would do as well-and green
candles were used to light the table.
Here salad on lettuce leaves was
served with thin white bread and but
ter sandwiches and pickles.
Wood brown was the color chosen
for the third table. Doilies of wood
brown crepe paper with smaller Gen.
ter of white crepe paper were used
and for the decoration large and
small brown pine cones were gath
cred. Potato chips were served in
WOOuSu DOWlo. AlOdSI louAO,
Boston baked beans, brown bread and
apple sauce, with coffee, were found
at this table, carrying out the wood
brown idea.
For the fourth table yellow was the
predominating color. Yellow wild
flowers or yellow roses were used in
decoration and orange and apple
salad was served in halves of oranges.
A red, crepe paper table cloth and
napkins of white with red borders,
told the color scheme Of the fifth
table. Red roses were used in decora-
ton. At this table pink gelatine with
fruits in it or strawberries served with
small cakes covered with red frosting
were sold.
The sixth table at this particular af-
fair was the climax of daintiness.
Pink was the color scheme. A large
bell of pink was suspended over the
center, with streamers of pink crepe
paper twisted to the bell. Pink crepe
