From time to time she cast lmpa'

through at last, flourishing premoni-

assailed him eagerly.
How much farther Is 1t to johns

Rasdale found a seat In a deserted
corner and endured it for exactly five
minutes. Afterwards she consulted
her watch, and found that two full
hours must elapse before she could
get her train. She started up impa-

drizzle. to walk away the time, and
incidentally, some of the surplus en-
ergy that was piling up on her nerves
with every passing second.
Somehow, the whole journey and
everything connected with 1t was In
tolerable to her-had been 50 from the
beginning. And had it not been for
the faithful promise she had made to
act as maid-of-honor at the wedding OF
her best friend, Maize Howard-given
when they two were at school to-
gether. and renewed at each recurrent
visit between them-she never would
have consented to the immolation-
Out in the biting air. she quickened
her footsteps and walked rapidly for

The RAkINo OF THE GREEN.
New Haven Rightly Claims First w
lags Improvement

Many years ago there was observed
: unique custom in the little town OF
0uilford. Conn. On one day IN the
fall of the year the women of the town
assembled on the village green. Each
carried . wooden rake, decorated Win
her favorite color. and each was
dressed In white, decked out with col
ored ribbons. 1t was day OF fete'
and it was called The Raking OF the
Green"
Then with song and laughter and
with many q jest this band of women
cleaned the village green of all the
leaves and refuse and dirt Of q years
accumulation. When the job wal
done they adjourned to the town hall
where they were joined by their nus
bands, and brothers. and the villag'
| fathers. A public banquet celebrates
| the occasion.
| While this was not the first chal
tered village Improvement associatio
In the country, 1t was probably at tna
time the most enthusiastic. and ha
perhaps the largest attendance. Ne

remembered as offering the second.

Red is believed by DR.. Beddoe, q
European anthropologist. to have been
the original color of the hair OF Euro
peans, and he attributes the brown
pigments to the action Of heat. Red
hair is occasionally found among the
negroes, and dull dark hair among the
pigmies OF Central Africa. Chinese
and Japanese adults always have
black hair, but Japanese children
sometimes have dark reddish yellow
hair, and Chinese children may have
brown hair.

Electricity continues to extend its
usefulness. New Jersey has found 1t
the most expeditions and humane
means of putting an end to stray and
useless dogs. Hitherto the dogs have
ben asphyxiated in big gas tank.
But the society which looks after such
things finds this is cruel and by no
means infallible. So Plainfield leads
on by substituting the electric kennel
for the gas receptacle. BY this means
