ClATEEN degrees OF frost, n the
- snow piled up in northumberland
heaps all along the centre of the
principal ondo thoroughfares. In
the by-streets no attempt had beer
made to remove it. and locomotion
was well-nigh impossible, Such was
the state of London on New Years
Eve.
In a small street leading out of Tot
tenham Court Road, there was a large
out-of-repair, tumble : down : looking
house let out in rooms to working peo-
pie. The mistress of the house was
Mrs. Dobbs, sister to Mrs. Bligh,
though for the last ten years all COM
munication between them had been re-
duced to occasional letters. She is sit
ting there now, running her dirty fore
finger, with its black-bordered nail, up
rows of figures. the addition of which,
seems to perplex her not a little.
"Drat them bells, it's all along o.
them as my head can't do it,
Leave it till tomorrow, it's very late
tonight to be bothering over accounts

front of an apology for a fire.
ITS not my practise to put today's
work off till tomorrow. Suppose you
were 60 come and see what you can
make of it,"
The heap unrolled at this bidding,
that is the head was lifted from it's
reposeful position on the knees, and the
arms, as their possessor INDUCED in n
stretch, were thrown in the form of a
cross as the girl-for the croucher was a
girl-got up, p%irouetted round, and con
fronted the light vouchsafed by one
miserable composite candle, and Mrs.
Dobbs.
1t was Patty Urske who had been
lying or the hearth rug, dreaming and
listening TO the bells till she was reused
by Mrs. Dobbs's voice grumbling over
her figures.
Patty Urske. still Patty Urske, and
not Max Sehippheim's wife, for there
was no wedding ring on her finger.
She had remained on at Daleford for
several weeks after his strange de-
parture. making such inquiries for him
as from ner very humble sphere she
was able, trusting from compulsion
rather than confidence to the search
that was set afoot, Patty thought in Il
very mild way, by the Dale House
people.
"Of course. he never meant to marry
that low girl" Lady Muriel would say,
"only he got his head a little too far
into the moose. and had probably gone
to America in order to disentangle him
self"

BY MARGERY doom.

Dear Margery Doom:
l am a girl of 20 and have been keep
ing steady company with a young man
two years my senior for nearly a year.
He told me he loved me, but we are
not really engaged, as I told him 1 did
not want to marry before l was 25.
Now, he called on another girl the
other night, and she told me he asked
her to go to the theatre In New York
some night next week. Do you hin
he would do this if he cared for me?
Please give me your advice. He called
on me last night and did not ever say
he saw the other girl.
HEARTBROKEN.
As long as he is not engaged to you
he has a right to call on as many girls
as he likes. You have the same privi-
lege. or rather that of receiving other
young men. If he really cares for you
the seeing of other girls will only tend
to strengthen his affection. Watch him
for a while, and if he continues to pay
attention to others tell him just how
you feel. But do not let foolish jealousy
get the best of you just now.

One night Mr.. Jones decided to sit

took up his position at the garnet door
and waited for the ghost to appear.

A oma who abjures the use of hot
irons for producing a becoming wave in
her hair is often confronted with the
alternative measure of encompassine
her head with a coronet of more or less
uncomfortable "curling-pins" while she
sleeps. And such things are apt to be-
come increasingly unyielding-or at any
rate they seem to--as the night pro-
crosses, reminding one, in fact. that
royal estate can by no means claim a
monopoly of the uneasy head"
What a charming solution is the Rib

the best known French hairdressers
Shortly expressed, one merely has to
put ones hair into soft ribbons over

will be seen from this pin sketched in
two positions on the left of the sketch
that the ends of the ribobn are tubular,

before beginning operations.

given on the far side, while We are

s-truction-and the waved tresses which
result when the bows are united and
the ribbons pulled out are likewise in
Dictated By the way, the ribbons may
be white, pale or darker blue, pink, red,

ton of the problem of how to keep ones
self a~ttractively groomed in hot
weather, when curling irons are out of
the question.

To lay down a set of rules for ar
ranging the furniture in n room is
obviously impossible, as fitments differ
so radically. But there are certain
things that can be done successfully
with furniture and others that spoil the
appearance of the most extensively
fitted-up apartment. First and fore
most of these I should say is to bal
ance" a room, meaning by that. not to
get all the heavy pieces or all the large
pictures on one side. If. for example,
there is a large sofa against one wall,
across from it there should be a table
that is in proportion, or a heavy chair
or something like that, to preserve the
equalities. 1t need not he exactly
across, but somewhere OF the other
side. to avoid looking as though, were
the floor swung n side, it would go
down and the other come up. In re-
arranging q room the rugs, If any are
used, should be taken up and the floors
left so that the chairs, etc, can be
easily moved to experiment for the best
placing.
Couches are now so much used in
sitting-rooms that any arrangement
that has even a spice of novelty should
be welcomed. SO try putting the couch
in the corner of the room so that it
touches the wall at one end and behind
it. At the other end. with it's back
against the divan, stand a bookcase,
which is a complete screen to the
couch. The latter piece fronts out
toward the room. so that anyone on
entering sees the book at once, and on
going further into the room the couch
comes into view. The back of the book
case is finished with denim, tackled
smoothly, and several framed photo
graphs hang against it. This, by the
way, is a great saving of wall space in
a small room.

way as the bookcase. and by having

back of the head is almost resting on
the shoulders. Hold for a moment,
then release the breath and bring the
head back to position. DO this ten
times, then practise arm swinging
movements, turning them like a wind
mill, first one, hen the other, and then
both at once bringing them back as
far as possible. Place the hands upon
the hips, square the shoulders and turn
the body from the waist line, swinging
round and round, feet firm. holding a
deep breath. Deep breathing is the
essential thing. and every time she can
think of it she should square the
shoulders and take a long breath.
