Suddenly upon the mirth of the party
there descended an astonishing quiet.
Thaddeus, strange to say, fell asleep
in his chair, and Christina, after a
gallant struggle to keep awake fol-
lowed his example.
Then Mr.. Stephen Osborne and Miss
Stella Garner INDUCED in very re-

deftly concealing the jewels about his
person. When Christmas shoulders,
wrists and fingers were barred of their
glittering load, the pair turned their
attention to the slumbering Thad-
deus, relieving him of a diamond
stud and ring, worth together a hun
dred dollars or SO. Then they paused
and. looking at one another, laughed
silently.
'Tts a fair have Polite said the

Mr.. Thaddeus Field never found

Mr.. Osborne again. Nor did he ever
set eyes on Miss Stella Garner, nor
find her some one to love. They had
vanished into the unknown through
that French window, and Christina
still mourns her diamonds.

Corsets Haze Much to
Do Nth Appearance

All Frenchwomen wear corsets; a
great majority have their corsets made
to order. My own cook, for instance,
does, and she pays 80 francs (about
six dollars) pair. These for best
last her three or four years, says a
writer in Harper's Bazaar. In families
driven to the last limit of economy,
corsets are commonly home made.
Very poor women, obliged to pur-
chase their corsets ready made buy
invariably good article, paying on
an average three dollars pair. These
initial expenditures become relatively
economical, by virtue of the excel
lence of the article secured and by
the care and cleverness which the
French exercise in cleaning and re-
pairing corsets.
There exists number of character
istics in common which are clear prin-
ciples of the Frenchwoman's art of be-
ing pretty. First, there is the perfect
orderliness which the Frenchwoman's
hairdressing invariably presents. BY
the aid of invisible pins, even of in
visible nets, and, for Out-of-doors, Of
wells, the Frenchwoman, having thor
oughly washed, brushed and studious-
ly arranged her hair, is protected al
ways against the least appearance
of DISAGREEMENT which among all
classes is abhorred. A point of beau
ty always sought by the French in
the arrangement of the hair is to pre-
sent joli nuque-that is, pretty
nape of the neck Effects they pro-
duce in this respect are wonderful,
and are chiefly attained by care in
securing a graceful line marked by
the hair from ear to ear, and charm
ing contour which clever waving of
the hair produces.
With proper corsets and her hair
attractively arranged, the woman who
is resolved to lead a better life in
the matter of being pretty need not
despair if money to buy complete
new and becoming wardrobe is not at
hand.

GREEN BONE FOR FOWLS.
Should Be Fed to the Laying Hens in
Fall and Winter.

I always save a great many scraps
when butchering in the fall and for
years this was the only animal food
provided. The result from this was
always the same; more eggs in Janu-
airy than in February, for by the mid
die of January the animal food had
given out.
Green cut bone is the best substi-
tute for insects, and if fed properly is
fair rival. An ounce day to laying
fowls is a fair allowance when fed
with a proper grain and vegetable ra-
ton. Green cut bone is the cheapest
and best poultry food known if fresh
from the butcher and full of meat and
gristle. Boiled or bleached bones or
those from old and diseased animals
should not be used.
The cost of mill for grinding the
bones is not great if one has use for
it, and this is really the only expense,
as in some localities green bones can
be secured for little or nothing. In
this section, we get them for one cent
pound in cold weather and for moth
ing in summer, but in small country
towns they are usually hard to get.
Get mill large enough for all present
and possible future needs, and one
that runs by power, if the farm is so
supplied. If not, hand cutter does
nicely. Manufacturers are now MAX
ing bone cutters that run either by
hand or power.
The saving in grain by the use Of
green cut bone soon pays for the ma
chine, says Orange Judd Farmer. Thus
there is a saving of grain and an in
crease in the number of eggs laid,
which means double profit from the
hens instead Of an expense during
cold weather. Beef scrap, bone meal
and all the other ground and dried an
imal food for sale are of great value
and easy to feed, but are expensive
and may not always be pure goods.
They may be compared with fresh
cut bone as dried beef is to tender,
juicy beefsteak. The owner of a flock
of hens would not be long in deciding
which he would choose for his win
ter's supply of meat.
There is no single thing of such an
aid to secure satisfactory egg yield
in winter as green cut bone, and it is
equally valuable in aiding hens
through the melting season and start
ing them laying again. 1t is also
great aid in bringing the pullets to
maturity.

Praises Modern Ideas
in Bringing Up Girls

Here is a tribute to the wisdom
of the modern ideas on the upbring-
ing of girls. 1t is the professional
opinion of an English physician, writ
ing in the Medical Brief on the sub
ject of hysteria.
Hysteria is the generic name ap-
piled to some of the most battling,
as we'll as most interesting, cases with
which physicians have to deal; cases
which produce what might be called
phenomena of the nervous system,
morbid and abnormal manifestations
which have been and are being stud
led by medical men everywhere.
A nation whose women are inclined
to develop hysteria is to be pitied.
One whose women are conspicuously
free from the tendency is to be I'M
itated. The physician referred to
above, after noting the fact that hys-
terra is less common in England now
than it was a generation ago, declares
that much stress must be laid on the
defective education and upbringlng
of English girls 25 and 80 years ago.
They were allowed but little free
dom of thought or action and were
kept closely tied to their mothers
aDron strings. The mother was
well meaning person, but she had
but little initiative and was hlde-
bound by convention
She was orthodox, but her ortho-
doxy was that of her mother, supple
mented by the teaching of the village
parson. This degeneracy reached us
highest point in the cathedral towns
of Great Britain.
A quarter of a century has marked
a great change in this respect ana
has been concurrent with an increased
robustness of health of our girls. They
are stronger now physically, mentally
and morally.
The advent of bicycling and motor
ing and especially of greater facllltles
for travelling in foreign countries, mas
had much to do with this, chiefly by
permitting a more vigorous and init
mate social intercourse between young
men and women.
The girl of to-day dictates the policy
of her mother and with healthier
outdoor existence there are FEWER OF
the factors which tend to make for
hvsteria and its attendant evils. lt
is comparatively rare nowadays to
meet with a neurotic English girl,
and the most typical and exaggerated
form of the disease must be sought
among the Latin races.

Very Thin Critter.

Binks was hurrying across the sta

heavy overcoat when his contempla-
tive mood was brought to sudden
termination by a cab almost running
over him. Cabby pulled his horse up
with a jerk and gave his opinion in
plain English about absent-minded
people.

glance.

"let it be tomorrow. I've something

Tomorrow, then" replied Thad-
deus, you will make the acquaint-

Now, there was one thing in the
world for which Christina Field lived
and moved and had her being, and
that was jewelry. In her bedroom at
the little uptown house she had a
small strong safe built into the wall,
and the key of that safe never left
her possession. Her diamonds were
not imperial, still they were valuable,
and had been mounted to her own in
structions, and she had ruby brace
let for which many fairly honest
woman would have risked her SOUL
When an opportunity arose for Ma
dame Christina to don her glittering
treasures she was happy; when there
were women present to envy them
she became positively radiant.
In obedience to this ruling passion,
Christina-dressing for the early din
ner at which Stephen Osborne was to
meet Miss Stella Garner, and which
was to be followed by visit to the
theater-clasped about her white
throat and dainty arms some five
thousand dollars worth of precious
stones. Very well she looked, too,
did Christina, when she took her
place at the head of the table and
beamed on the ugly Miss Garner, the
admiring Stephen Osborne and the
complacent Thaddeus.
1t was a wonderfully merry little
party; each seemed to vie with each
in brilliancy. If Christina was gay

Sleeves will probably grow longer

Perhaps the army revolution of deep- est interest to the soldier himself was that effected in 1923, when for the first time he was put in trousers. The an- nouncement from the horse guards took the following remarkable form His majesty has been pleased to ap- prove of the discontinuance of breech- As, leggings and shoes as part of the clothing of the infantry soldiers and of blue gray cloth trousers and half boots being substituted" In order to indem- nifty the clothing colonels" for any hardship which the new order might cause 1t was decided that these gentle men should no longer be called upon to provide the waistcoat of Tommy, but that Tommy should himself supply 1t out of his shilling a day. To reas- sure him it was pointed out that he was in a position to do so with con- fort, because he would no longer have to buy gaiters.-London Chronicle.

In support of this they point out that when a criminal Is arrested after do. ing one stretch" the second charge against him is generally for the same sort of crime.

The First Gas Tubes,

William A1urdock, a Scottish mining engineer employed in the Redruth mines, Cornwall, appears to have been the first to suggest that gas might be conveyed in tubes and used instead of lamps and candles. He made a very E lious gas lantern for himself, with w...ch he used to light his way over the Cornish moors at night This Ian. tern consisted of a bag filled with gas and fitted with tube, at the end of which the gas could be lighted. Carry. ing the bag under his arm, Murdock used to light his way home at night. On meeting any one 1t is said that he Wour give the bag squeeze and thus send ~ut long tongue of flame. This led to his being looked upon as the demon of the Cornish moors.-Londop Telegraph,
