WEDGWOOD BLUE
AND PUTTY COLOR,

There is just a certain wedgwood
blue that is exquisite w1h a putty
~colored wall. 1t Is not well to use this
combination in a>north light, which
needs the warmer colonial yellow, but
it may be held in reserve for the room
having a southern or western exposure,
with its softer light.
The putty color is colder and less yell
low than the colonial shades-as if a
touch of gray had beer dashed in--but
there is still enough of the creamy tom
left to blend with the wedgwood blue
of the hangings.
These curtain goods may be found in
such inexpensive materials as g~alatea,
cotton poplin and Japanese ~crepe-all of
which are more recent arrivals on the
decorators counter than denim and
burlap.
Several pieces of old mahogany, a
peacock screen and a BOWL of polished
brass are the needed touches in this
.chaste little room.

THE CHINESE REEL.
BY Harold Carter.

Horace Aloysius Topper. professor
in Chinese literature at Gables college,
was strolling over the campus, lost in
thought.
Shall | or shall | not ask Miss
Virginia Smith to become my bride?'
he muttered. II was problem which
had vexed many of his waking hours.
Miss Smith was professor in mathe-
mates at a neighboring feminine in
stitution. United, they would possess
complete mastery OF Chinese liter
ature and mathematics. But Profess
sor Topper was constitutionally
averse from rash and precipitate ac-
ton.
The sudden swapping Of a string
and fall OF light object at his feet
recalled him 10 himself. Upon the
ground lay a broken parcel containing
his last weeks laundry. Thus remind
ed, he proceeded to the residence Of
All Win. professor in Chinese saponi-
fication 20 Gables college. There was
nobody within the shop. Stepping

sor Upper perceived the Chinaman
seated over bowl, from which rose an
overpowering aroma. His eyes were
closed. his face a CHASTITY white. In
stantly Professor Upper knew that
the old man had been preparing opium
and had been overcome by the fumes.
It was the work OF a moment to grab
him by the shoulders and into the
shop. There the color came back to
All Wins face; he sneezed and opened
his eyes.
That's a narrow escape you had.
All VIM" said the professor, reprov-
ingly.
"You save my lifee," cried the laun-
dryman in gratitude. What I do for
YOU? Me washee free for ever"
NO, no, All Win" replied Professor
Upper. Let me see that ring on
your finger Why, that's like those In
the Ming tombs which were supposed
to contain magical properties
Eyes, yes, magic" cried All Win,
placing the ring on the professors
finger. "You turn him so, all things OF
future lifee come to you. You turn
back-all plesent."

around him. now the professor was an
old, white-haired man with senility
hurrying upon him. He was stretched
out on his bed, never to rise from II.
Death was approaching. Only the
ring could save him. He felt for 1t
feebly.
It's strange how dear father loves

eldest daughter say. Guide his
fingers to It," Very feebly the pro-
fessor felt for it, and, with his last eff

Instantly time was reversed. His

front door; everything swan before
his eyes, and he opened them, to find
himself in the book room of the
Chinese laundryman's shop, which
was filed with an overpowering
aroma. Everything was Keeling be-
fore his unsteady gaze, and All Win
was shaking him by the shoulder. The
professor was twirling something In
his hand. He looked at II. IL was a
laundry ticket.
What is it?" he cried.
"Sixty cents" replied the Chinaman
