Linda began eagerly to tell the tale of guests. Now and again her listener nodded at name, tapped her fingers in her palm and said to herself. 'I used to know the father" or, "I can see the favor of the mother" Evi- dently she was somebody newly re- turned to once familiar ground. Still Linda had no suspicion of her Identity until she saw Aston Wade coming quickly toward them. All at once 1t flashed upon her that his mother had been fifteen years away with a daughter who had married a foreigner and gone to live abroad. Aston had Berta beside him. and Berta was more vivaciously beautiful than ever. Yet some shade fell over her radiance as they approached near enough to see who sat beside Mrs. Wade. A
 As soon as Aston had presented Der ta to his mother she said impatiently to Linda; Peggy .Ansley Is hunting high and low for you. Run away to her. You know she depends on you to help her with things"
 We will go together. l also am go- ing to help" Aston said. taking Lin- da's hand. Mother, I'm sure Miss Berta will be very. very Kind to you, although" dropping his voice signifi- cantly, ''she can't make up to you for losing Linda. because nobody can pos sibly do that"
 Have you managed to get the ques. ton or your mind. my boy?' Mrs. Wade asked, with seeming irrelevance, but meaning smile. And her son an- swered. with an ardent look at Linda: "Yes; it is quite off my mind. But there's another question. very much more important one. that Linda must settle for me right away" ,s
 T told her she should hear the end of the conspiracy" Mrs. Wade said, laughing. Her son paused a second to say over his shoulder. "She can't rest content with simply hearing 1t, be- cause she herself is the end" 2 :.

The L.icorice Shrub.

The licorice shrub is like the hazel, growing to the height of four or five feet, and the root is the only part that has value. It is found in damp, sandy places. chiefly along the banks of riv- CTS around the Caspian sea. and Is dug by peasant women. who earn from 10 to b cents a day working for, the licorice collectors. The root sells for few cents a pound in the raw state. The larger part is shipped in that con dition. but about 20 per cent of the product Is boiled and crushed, and the juice is made into the hard black paste such as can be bought in the drug stores. In 1S4S m Italian began to cultivate licorice. and since that time many people have adopted the indus try because the cultivated root con talns much more sap than that of the wild plant and costs very little more

You may come along if you want to. but should think you'd hate to he always tagging" Berta said. with a small insolent laugh. Berta was a
 beauty and belle. Linda. her sister, older by two years, was neither. According to the countryside, Linda was even ugly
 . People who were all for roses and
 dImples and sunshiny smiles saw no beauty in Linda's olive complexion, her severely classic profile and the slim !. figure, which they called thin j. She did not smile much. ard she laughed so rarely in public that gossip | said she did not know how. Before she was sixteen she had been set down as a predestined spinster.
 It was far otherwise with Berta. who 7 was damask rose embodied in ador- !, able flesh and blood. Linda at twenty < one had never had a beau. Berta's conducsts could not be reckoned upon 4 all her fingers.
 I At first Berta liked to have Linda go out with her, finding in her dark pallor
 fine foil for her own charms. But
 after awhile she grew in a strange.
 unaccountable way resentful of Linda. !. It seemed reflection on the family that its elder daughter was so nearly
 a social cipher At least that was
 what Berta told herself. Everybody
 feels the sovereign need for a good
 excuse to justify an unllind action.
 Not for worlds would she have ad-
 mitted to herself her feeling really had It's origin in certain praises of Linda
 spoken by man when she herself had resolved to marry.
 AlstOn Wade was the man. He was the catch of the county. He lived twenty miles away and had not known
 the Lee girls until six months before Then they had met at the county fair,
 and after that they had not been able
 to go anywhere without finding him
 there. Not that they objected. Wade
 was the kind of man to whom no one could object--not even young woman
 predestined to spinsterhood.
 4 Linda danced but rarely; therefore
 Berta had well nigh monopolized Al tston's attention. He had made oppor- tunities. for all that. to talk with Lin da and had even been unwise enough
 to tell Linda's sister that she rested and cheered him as might fresh and fragrant breeze. '
 Berta had cooed that Linda was truly the dearest old thing. When they were home again and for weeks thereafter she did not spare the dear est old thin. one possible pin prick.

you say. shan't be lonesome. Peggy says she's asked everybody In town over six months old"
 "Yes. l know It'll be the same as a Sunday school picnic. I fully expect to see you marching about looking like the head of an orphan asylum" Berta commented spitefully Linda only smiled again. After minute she said very slowly; At least m escape tag ging that way. And you mustn't be spiteful if for once have more fol- lowers than you"
 Soon they rolled through the Ansley gates in sight of green lawns. flower decked and soft as velvet. Knots of people fecked the turf, the women brave in light spring garments and even the men showing hints of the seasons eniiSening in their more sober attire.
 Children ran around picking flowers unt ipdered or flung them down to roll ecsatically on the grass. Berta lost her scOwl at the sight. She was a woman for all her hard ambitions.
 Linda longed to gather the toddlers in ner arms and carry them of to fairy land. She controlled herself and walk ed decorously among them. only stop ping now and then to pat tousled curly head.

Shc had on rose pink. frock, with smothcrs of fine lace at throat and wrists. Somehow In spite of Berta's taunts her spirits had risen until her mood matched her appearance. More than one person looked after her. half startled. as she passed nlong Young r1en for the most part made a rush for Berta and hung about her as she moved, but more than one, drop. ping out. said inwardly. "Linda's near ly as pretty this afternoon"
 An unconscious of looks and unspo. ken thought, Linda went on to the far. ther edge. where the older people were established in garden chairs or upon settles. They were talking and laugh ing among themselye es.
 There were less than dozen os hem, all lifelong friends or epem.sa. \ little apart from them sat white haired woman smiling at the scene happily. but quite aloof. Evidently she was stranger. lnstinctively Lin ia sat down beside her. saying. with a smile. If you would rather not talk I'll be as still as a mousse"
 But l want to talk very much" the white haired lady replied Its hard enough to be only 8 locker on when you know. everybody and can see ua- der the surface. l know nobody here except the man who brought flse. Bringing me was whim of his. and I never cross his whims. He knows Mrs. Ansley-in fact. she is sort of family connection. And he is coming back to me after awhile. l think he has something on his mind that he wants to get off"
 How delightful! feel as if were sharing conspiracy" Linda answered, with soft smile
 The strange lady leaned across and patted her hand. saying irnpulsively: Ut Is conspiracy, and you shall know how 1t ends after 1t ends. But now tell me who is who and all about everybody. dare ask that because from your face know you never tell the things people would rather were left unSaid.
 I'm q rank impostor. It's all my pink frock." Linda said, pretending to whisper. "In reality I'm awfully' grunp and grim. I'm beginning to sympa- thize with the woman who said she was never entirely at peace with God and man except when she felt entirely we'll dressed"
 "So your soul has on Its pink frock. too," the strange lady said, with a glimmering smile. Linda nodded. And l am glad" she said briefly. "1 am half ready to promise myself never to wear black nor to feel black again. It's such shame wben there are the flowers and little children and gooi friends to make living worth while"
 "YouIl make 1t worth while wher- ever you go." the white haired lady said, with conviction. Now quit be- ing angelic and turn gossip. Remem- Der, don't know anybody or anything about anybody"

 You won't be lonesome. All the old maids in town are sure to be at the Ansleys'," she ran on as they stepped into the carriage, She had been hop ing Linda would not go to the lawn party. It was the first of the season. Nobody but Peggy Ansley would have risked such thing thus early, even though May had come in summer warm. .H~
 'It would be better if you'd put on a black frock. a short one. and q white apron. Then you could help serve things" she went on.
 Linda smiled gravely. And you could have worn my chip hat" she re piled. with a faint twinkle. 'I know it's almost ns becoming to you as you are to 1t. But Pm getting to be selfish as l grow older"
 "The hat doesn't matter. If people see me they never think of what have .0n." said Eer.a. I'm not just part of the scenery like some people,"

Tn one sense$the opera is one of the oldest forms of entertainment. for its origin is to be found in the old Greek drama. In it's modern sense. how ever, it dates from the year 1900. when Peri produced the first true Italian opera to grace the festivities of the marriage of Henry ". of France and Marie de Medici. The work attracted great attention. and many Italian nobles figured in the cast. In France the opera was the outcome of the ballet and In England of the masque. Purcell is entitled to the honor of producing the first real English opera. although one of Ben Jonson's masques was set to music as early as 1917.

postal service directly concerns all the
people and most of them depend upon
it more than they do upon any other
branch of the government. So this pa
per cannot join its brethren who cen
sure the government for doing what 1t
thinks will be for the common benefit.
The postoffice department knows
h, W many thousands of letters are
dropped into the mail boxes without
stamps; how many more thousands
have no return address on them; how
many letters are lost or fail to reach
those for whom they are intended. 1t
seeks to make more perfect service,
and this 1t ought to be permitted to do
without the censure of those whose
private business may suffer slight
loss. 1t is for the general good that
the postoffice department offers TO
furnish government stamped envel-
opes in lots of 500 with your name and
address printed in the upper lefhand
corner without extra charge" Such
envelopes, it is explained, are never
sent to the dead letter office. If the
addressee cannot be found, the letter
is returned without extra postage to
the sender.
