To buy a bead bag means quite an
outlay of money, and to make one
takes great deal of time, in addition
to which the work is trying on the
eyes. But bead bags are so lovely
that 1t Is almost impossible to resist
the temptation to try what the fancy
workshop considers very simple
pattern" Small bags are very little
better than no bag at all. To be use
full sthey should have capacious in
terror. The favorite shape is rather
longer than wide, and on the bottom
of the bag is sewn a very close and
well shaped fringe that harmonizes
with the lowered pattern of the bag
or contrasts with it very decidedly.
One side of these bags is worked with
a floral design in natural colors, while
the reverse side has ones monogram
done in gold on a white background.
The mountings are very elaborate.
either of gold with jewels or of etched
silver, and they are fitted with long
chain handles.
Next to the bead bag comes the
reticule, charming article, provided
with ample room for all of ones lit
tie belongings, coin purse, card case
and vanity box, If this is not carried
separately. These reticules draw to-
gether at the top exactly as the old
fashioned kind They are very easily
made and when completed are quite
al effective and ornamental as the
more costly bead and gold affairs.
Handsome lowered ribbon makes
the daintiest reticules. Ribbons come
in such exquisite colorings and de-
signs that they are almost lovely
enough as they are for reticules. Il
so happens, however, that fashion
likes to paint the lily, as it were, and
to further embellish these ribbons and
brocades with bead work. A pattern
is selected showing, perhaps, richly
colored rose or a cluster of flowers on
a plain background, and then with her
nimble fingers the young woman sets
to work to embroider the flowers in
beads The ribbon coloring of this
decoration is followed absolutely. A
cluster of flowers of average size or
one large flower looks much better
than tiny flowers when treated in this
way. A golden yellow rose shading
to reddish brown on a cream back
ground is very dainty when worked
out in gold and reddish brown beads

CHAPTER XIV.
Changes and Chances.


John Marshall Glenarm had probably
never been so happy in his life as on
that day of his amazing homecoming.
He laughed at us and he laughed with
us, and as he went about the house ex-
planning his plans for it's completion,
he chaffed us all with his shrewd
humor that had been the terror of my
boyhood
"Ah, If you had had the plans of
course you would have been saved
lot of trouble; but that little sketch of
the Door of Bewilderment was the
only thing l left,-and you found it,
Jack,--you really opened these good
books of mine"
He sent us all away to remove the
marks of battle, and we gave Bates a
hand in cleaning up the wreckage,-
Bates, the keeper of secrets, Bates,
the inscrutable and mysterious, Bates,
the real hero of the affair at Glenarm.
My grandfather led us through the
narrow stairway by which he had en-.
tered, which had been built between
false walls, and we played ghost for
one another, to show just how the
tread of human being around the
chimney sounded. There was much tC
explain, and my grandfather's contri
ton for having placed me in so hazard
GUS a predicament was so sincere, anC
his wish to make amends so evident
that my heart warmed to him. HI
made me describe in detail all the in
cidents Of my stay at the house, listen
ing with boyish delight to my adven
lures.
"Bless my soul" he exclaimed owe
and over again. And as | brought m,
two friends into the story his pleasure
knew no bounds, and he kept chuck
ling to himself, half dozen time
shaking hands with Larry and Stod
dard who were, he declared, hi
friends as we'll as mine.

ceived our due attention; and m

agent of the British government wa

New TO Him.

The leading lady of road company
playing in one of the smaller cities in
Ohio concluded that she would press
some of her lace collars one morning.
She accordingly rang the bell, and
when the hall boy appeared said:

In course of time he returned empty
handed, and when the lady answered
his knock he said:
II couldn't get it for you, lady"
And why not?" she asked, mysti-
fed.

how to mix it,"

Renew the Life Of slnk

gins to splinter and look worn get
some zinc at the hardware store. Have
it cut to fit your sink neatly. The man
about the house will put 1t on, so that
no rough edges show at the front. At
the back the holding may be removed
and put on after the zinc is in place.
Where the two oblong pieces meet the
narrow front piece the edges may be
filed so it will not tear the hands.
This is much easier to keep clean and
looks neater than a wooden sink.

surgery, and a peril which he escaped,
as recorded by Lyon PIayfair- Simp-
son when busy with his researches in
to the subject of anaesthetics called
one day on Playfair and asked if he
had anything new likely to produce
anaesthesia. Playfair had just pre-
pared a liquid which seemed worthy
of trial. Simpson, who knew no fear,
prepared instantly to test it on him
self This PIayfair refused to allow
until it had first been tried on rabbits.
Two We're procured and placed under
the effects of the anaesthetic- Next
day Simpson proposed to try it on him
self. I'VE might as well see how the
rabbits have fared," said Playfair.

The keeping of Sunday, the first day

DRY of the resurrection and of the de-
scent of the Holy Ghost dates from
the beginning of Christianity. 1t was

day sacred to the sun. The first official
recognition of Sunday as holy day is
