AID out in the Italian style, with
bright flower beds, numberless
stuceo vases, and figures placed
in every available position, the gardens
at Dale House slope down hill; like
everything else within a radius of three
miles, they are under the personal sH-
pervision of Lady Muriel. She is stroll

Yes, truly the little French artist will
prove a powerful ally for Lady Muriel.
though it is also just possible tina he
may, at the same time, be a very trou-t

There are secrets in Lady Murie1's

Lady Muriel had taken violently to

Clever woman though she was, she
had never calculated on what all this

1t Is not an uncommon thing to II
symptoms of a fat chest among the
young girls of today, the result, pre-
sumably, of too close application to
studies, or work over the Office desk.
Where there is the least inclination to
such conditions, the subject should
be taught to exercise so that she will
expand the chest and develop the
lungs. Deep breathing is an excel
lent form of exercise and should be
encouraged. Singing lessons are also
good because IL properly given they
develop the lungs and tend to fuller
expansion. The most popular exercise
to correct the hollow chest Is the pulley
or weight exercise, because the APP
paratus can be fitted up in ones own
house at very little Expense To use
the exerciser stand about two feet
away from it, and after adjusting the
weight lift up one side and draw out
with the arm as far as possible from
the body. First lift the arm well over
the head ard follow by drawing the
arm downward behind the back. Exer-
else first one arm ten to twenty times
and then the other, and then both
arms together.
This form OF physical culture VIII not
only develop the chest and lungs, but
1t will correct any inclination to stopped
shoulders 1t will develop the muscles
of the shoulders and arms, and will
also have a direct effect on the muscles
of the waist and trunk. 1t is well to
remember that only loose garments
should be worn while exercising. There
should be no binding of the body. In
this way every muscle and every joint
will have full play, and the better re-
suits will be obtained.

side of the bed.
But it was not Sister Lucy who had
spoken, and Patty turned round half
bewildered.

existence of Max Sehipphelm. She gazed

how he could pretend to fill the place

not a ray of recognition did these kisses

Altogether her grief seemed to the
sisters so much more like that of some
wild animal than of a rational human
being hat they could not understand
her, and felt compelled to let her do
as she liked.
She left the hospital about 4 o'clock,
when the town was the quietest, all tha
workers being in the factory, and sped
along to gain her lonely room in the
cottage at the bottom of the hill.
She had not proceeded very far be-

Brush your hair every night, dividing
it in the centre. and stroking each side
an equal number of times. Fifty strokes
is not too many. Follow this by massag-
ing the scalp with the finger tips to in-
crease the circulation, after which the
following lotion should be used:
Picnic acid. 2 grams.
Tincture of nux vomica, ~ grams.
Tincture of red c%inchona, 80 grams.

Sweet almond oil, so grams.
Apply to the roots of the hair twice
a day, IL possible. This is especially
good when the hair is dry and lacks
natural oil. 1 am sure it will help you.
Dear Madame Alta:
For a long time I was troubled with
black heads and pimples, but by the
help of some of your remedies they are
being cured. But what bothers me a
great deal is the enlarged pores that
have been left after the black-heads
and pimples nave been cured. They are
almost as disfiguring as the former.
Is there n way l can cure them.
Your advice will be greatly appreciated.
DISFIGURED.
1t will take quite a little while to cure
the enlarged pores, but you must not be
discouraged, because if you will only
follow the simple treatment I give you
faithfully, you will be cured. The cure
consists in %scrubbing the face with a
camers-hair face brush and pure olive
Gil soap daily. BY this process the pores
which have become enlarged by the
clogging of the blackheads and pimples
will be kept free from dust and dirt and
will gradually contract and regain their
normal size.

His letters are very affectionate.

Have you any old wicker furniture
that is hopelessely dirty yet in good
condition? If you have, you can trans
form these soiled bits of furniture into
something pretty. First you will want
to wash every piece perfectly clean and
you can do the work best by taking
the articles into the yard and scrub
bing each piece with a strong solution
of borax water and naphtha soap. IL
matters not how hard you scrub or how
much alkali is used, providing it cuts
the dirt and old varnish, for when the
pieces are rinsed and thoroughly dried
you must paint them with a good var
nish paint. In selecting paint, go to a
reliable dealer and state exactly the
kind of paint you wish, and by all
means get a good grade or they will
be sticky. The chairs will need to be
painted twice, to give a good color.
One bright color is yellow, another is
| green, or a light tar is pretty. 1t will
take several days for the pieces to
thoroughly dry. At night the chairs
should be placed in a room, the win
dows left open and they will dry more
quickly.

In making cushions for wicker furni-
ture-and this is what adds so much
to the articles-get a pretty cretonne
of the exact shade TO match the chairs,
and the way they are finishing this
furniture trimming is not in big soft
downy cushions, but tufted pads. A
cushion is made a trifle larger than the
seat of the chair. filled with cotton,
hair or jute, and it is padded moderate
~ thick and tufted with buttons o "
cred with cretonne. In making the
buttons for the cushion, get half round
metal buttons with long. heavy shanks
and cover with the little dies of Gre
tonne. In placing them, get a very
strong cord. thread large darning
needle and begin at one side of the
cushion and sew a row of buttons, say
five or six. according to the size of the
cushion. Dc not break. the thread, but
begin Oh the row below and sew the
button between and below those above
continuing this way until all are in
place. lave a very long thread and
draw the cord as tightly as possible. If
the chair has a round back, extending
into arms, have a long. narrow pad to
cross the back of the chair, extending
to the front of the arms. 1t, too, is
tufted and must be tackled in place.
These chairs can be used in a bedroom,
but will be splendid for porch chairs.

Louisburg, Special.-Mr. A. A.
Gallagher, government inspector, is
here to investigate the cattle tick and
fever among the cattle in Franklin
which are now hemmed in by quaran-
tine. He will have three assistants
and a good part Of the summer will
be spent first in locating diseased
cattle areas and then in stamping the
trouble out. The government is pay
ing all costs in the work even to the
remedies used. Mr.. Gallagher says
that crude Beaumont oil is the best
known remedy. The inspectors have
finished with Warren county and are
now gradually working a chain Of
counties to the westward, this being
the next county. They are not here
because Of any special need of their
services or of any special call but for
the reason that this county is next
to Warren in this chain of counties
now under quarantine. Cattle can
not be shipped from Franklin to
points north or east or west, not even
to Henderson. Cattle owners are
welcoming the inspectors and extend
ing them every possible aid in their
work.

Americans Preferred.

The Pennsylvania railroad an
nounces that it will give preference
in employment to American citizens.
The Washington Star approves this
as a true policy and M that should
be generally adopted. It says: Wheth-
err native or foreign born, the Ameri-
can citizen-the man whose lot is
cast with us and who is here to stay
should have the call in all Ameri
can opportunity. He is the one upon
whom the country must rely in time
of war, and he is entitled therefore
to the right-of-way in time OF peace.
The best things are his by every
right. He builds and he stays. He
establishes a local habitation and a
name, and as he is for tie country,
the country should be for him. The
mar who is here today AID gone to-
morrow has no claim to anything but
to the odd jobs which great pressure
for labor brings. The steady thing
for the citizen, every time.
