wife who once tries it finds that Tues
day as a laundry day makes less con-
fusion and averages the work better
than the old way of hurrying around
Monday morning, leaving many things
to be done and meals less attractively
cooked and served. 1t is, indeed, far
better than crowding Monday back into
Sunday, and, as in some homes, having
the clothes sorted and put in soak on
Sunday evening. The mistress OF a
home or the mistress and maid are al
entitled to as much rest on Sunday as
is convenient with healthful housekeep-
ing, and setting washing day ahead is
one means to secure it.
Here are some helpful hints how to
achieve to comfortable old age:
Drink plenty of water. six to eight
glasses a day, between meals and at
bedtime.
Keep the skin active with a daily
sponge bath and two weekly warm
baths
Do not eat between meals, and eat
candy after meals only.
Don't eat when exhausted or tired.
Don't overeat.
Take some form of exercise every
day. unless you are a busy house moth
er, and then you need rest. Put the
business girl should make 1t a point to
get some sort of exercise daily. She
can take no better than walking, and if
she will walk all or part way to her
business she will gain health and save
money. Start out gradually.
So many business girls, when taking
up exercise for the first time, overdo it
at the start and become so tired and
exhausted that they abandon it alto
gether as of no benefit.
Best of all. think health. Picture to
yourself good health, vitality and all it
would mean to you. Unconsciously your
body will grow up to this standard.
Simple rules, all of them: rules you
have heard many a time. Things that it
costs you nothing to do. But if you
will persist in doing them for several
months your miserable feeling will pass
away.
To make wholesome and nutritious
dish for a semi-invalid. bake lima beans
as you would navy beans. adding to
each coffee cupful of the beans a table
spoonful of salad oil instead of the
usual pork used for the New England
dish.

ing together a fine house in one of the
best of the town.
Sir Percy might have imagined him
self in an English house. The large
pink and white footman at the door
was Enthusiastically English, and the
quietness of the atmosphere n repose,
which became at once obvious, were
as English as the footnaan. In the
beautiful drawing-room Eleanor Cham
trey sat beside a tea-table drawn close
bto the fire. Mrs. Chantrey almost en-
braced Senator March when he men
toned the liberty he had taken In ask
ing Sir Percy to come with him.. and
Sir Percy was fguratively invited to
rest on Mrs. Chantrey's bosom-like the
poor stricken deer.
Mrs. Chantrey had a hidden romance,
a hearts dream, q secret aspiration, to
be one day an ambassadress to share
Lord Baudesert's title and position. To
say that Lord Baudesert's sharp old
eyes had seen this, from its first bud
ding, is putting 1t mildly. In fact, the
willy old gentleman had, himself, plant
ed the notion in Mrs. Chantrey's in
nocent. susceptible, elderly mind, and

for ten years past. Mrs. Chantrey had
confidently expected to be asked to pre-
side over the British embassy, and
every season she had been disappoint-
ed, yet not without hope. 1t was one
of Lord Baudesert's chief delights in
Washington to play upon the hopes
and fears of various enormously rich
widows, of whom Mrs. Chantrey was
the first. And Lord Baudesert. having
something like fifty years experience
rs an accomplished flirt. managed to
keep these ambitious ladies dancing to
a very lively tune. Hence the advent
of Lord Baudesert's nephew was to
Mrs. Chantrey a delightful and en-
c~ouraging sign. n she was ready to
be an aunt to him at a moments notice.
Only three or four persons were sit
ting around the tea-table, all of whom
Sir Percy had before met. There were
no introductions, and when Eleanor
Chantrey handed Sir Percy his tea he

white draperies over her little bed. Now

ton. How unlike it was to Eleanor
~Chantrey's beautiful and artistic roomi
And then Eleanor had an exquisite yell

Tea with her. How much beauty and

hfe' For the first time Lucy Armytage
began to wish for something which
could not be furnished in Bardstown,
Kentucky.
Al least she said, rising and speak
ing to herself, Il know I'm provincial.
1t is a great thing to know the limita-
tons of ones horizon. What a narrow,
uncultiyated. inartistic, uninteresting
person Sir Percy Carlyon must find me
after Eleanor Chantrey.,
Then she went to her constant and
usually faithful consoler-her mirror
But tonight even the mirror seemed not
in a flattering mood, and Lucy only
saw a disconsolate girl who, to her
mind, could stand no comparison with
that fine flower of eiviliza tion-Eleanor
Chantrey.
At the same time Sir Percy was
smoking fiercely as he made his way
back to his chambers. From the first
momen his eyes rested upon Lucy
Armytage h had commanded his at
tention. He nad tried to escape from
the enchanting spell she had throw
over him, but all in vain. What was
the meaning of that stirring of all his
pulses, that sudden joy, when he met
her in the twilight? He reminded him
self that he was SS years old, quite
old enough to know better: that he
was the First Secretary of the British
Embassy, and that he had firmly re-
solved never to allow himself to be-
come in the least interested in an
American woman He determined tc
avoid Lucy Armytage in the future as
a disturbing element; in short. he re-
solved to take up arms against his
destiny.

few minutes 60, and I was scurrying
home half frightened to death"
AS she said this Sir Percy would have
liked to open his arms wide and hold
her to his breast like a tfmid bird, but
Lucy dispelled this idea by saying:
Afraid of my uncle, I mean. He
makes such a terrible row when l am
out late. l am not in the least afraid
of anything else"
Her timidity a seemed charming,
but her girlish courage was more
charming still. Sir Percy's head was
in a whirl. No woman had ever i'm
pressed him SO quickly and so deeply
as this black-eyed girl. and he was
staggered at the intensity of his own
pleasure in being with her. Meanwhile
Lucy thought him the most impassive
of men and felt a curious feminine de-
sire to disturb that cool p~lacidity which
was so like a lake covered with a thin
skin OF ice.

Percy's in the half gloom.

Sir Percy was extremely diverted at
the notion of a slip OF a girl taking
care of a member of that great body
which had its origin at Runnymede in
the far-off days.
The stars were coming out in the
wintry sky and 1t was yet some little
distance to the streets where the gas
lamps f1ared. 1t was an enchanting
walk to Sir Percy, and without a word
being spoken concerning a street car,
or a cab, Sir Percy and Lucy Army
tage walked together along the quieter
streets to the very door of the big
hotel.
Lucy Armytage went upstairs to her
room, the typical hotel bedroom, but
