Did you eyer stop to think how many
people you know bore you? They
drain your personality. They never
know when they have stayed long
enough and talked long enough.
Now, the great question is, How far
should we let them go? They bore
into our personality, and they feed
upon our resources, and we feel tired
without just knowing why, remarks
an exchange.
OF course there are different kinds
Of bores. For instance, there is the
bore with the hobby. He is really the
most harmless kind, for he just keeps
on hammering on the same old thing,
and he says so much hat we a be
thinking our own thoughts and what
he is saying is not important enough
to interrupt. About the simplest way
to get rid of him is to send him on to
some one else.
But the worst kind Of a bore is the
one who has NO particular object. He
Just likes to bask In the sunshine OF
your society, to listen to you talk on a
variety of subjects and to take up the
best hours of your working day.
If any one has a real remedy for this
bore, one that Is tried and true, fol
~humanity's sake let us have it.

He paused again and saw the blood
surge up into the girls face. Her
breath came In quick gasps, but she
turned toward him with q look that
was partly inquiry, partly surprise and
some doubt, but there was no repug-
nance. That encouraged him to take
up his narrative where he had 80 alb

He paused for a moment as II to
steady himself for what must follow.
Cynthy said nothing, but she drew
carer to him as If unconsciously
drawn, and her face was lighted with
a smile that even Lem saw was the
outward expression of inward JOY. He
drew her into his arms, and she did
not resist. For a moment he held her
so, while he waited for his heart to
steady. Then with a twinkle in his
honest brown eye be turned her f,ee
up to his and before kissing her said,
"Cynthy, s'pose we get married?'
And Cynthy answered, ~"S'posin'."

slight sigh.
Lem made no direct reply to this bit
of philosophy. He was in the mood of
having his dreams come true and risk
ing the contentment. The suspense
grew ~unbearable. He must know.
Anything was better than uncertainty.
"Cynthy," he said softly, and the girl
started from her reverie and turned to-
ward him. Her face looked pale and
weary. as If life had lost some Of its
charm. 1t made him pause a moment,
but he gulped hard and spoke again.

Mary Roberts Rinehart, who is in
the limelight just now on account of

She has tenacity, ~cheerfulness and a

began to write, she used to read her
stories aloud to her husband, a young
physician and a lawyer, gathered for
a weekly bridge game In her Pittsburg

chairs and talk at the top of their
voices SO that she could not possibly
be heard. She had her moment of
triumph when the first check came and
was passed around In d~umfounded
silence. Mrs. Rinehart was mighty
naughty.

To Enlarge Windows.

A very good way to make windows
appear larger than they really are is
to secure strips of wood about two
inches wide and Of a length to extend
six or eight inches beyond the edges
Of the sash frames, instead of using
the ordinary poles as wide as the win
dow. Lace curtains falling only to the
window sill may be hung on small
brass rods set inside frames and long
curtains of ~semiopaque goods tackled
on a strip in plaits, leaving open a
space of one foot In the center. A
valance across the top completes the
arrangement.

n had always been Cynthy's word,
and Lem felt NJ disposition to
~ quarrel with 1t under the circum-
stances. He let his mind run
back to the long ago days when he
carried her books to school and plan
ned small treats within the scope of
their narrow lives which his awkward
tongue and self conscious mind almost
prevented his laying before her. Gym
thy was not given to many words her
self, and so when he finally managed
to suggest "S'pose we go berrying Sat
urdayT or skating, as the season
might allow, Cynthy had always con-
tented herself with replying "S'posin'."
He saw himself again as he was in
those days, big for his years, hands
and face tanned almost a leather color
with u and wind, a shock of unruly
brown hair and eyes of almost the
same shade. He did himself but scant
justice as far as appearance went. 1t
did not occur to him that he had been
a goodly sight to look upon even at
that time, for he had been then as now
the seeming embodi~"ent of rugged
health. Looking at snthy, he saw
traces of the same air of fragility that
had characterized her as a child and
seemed to set her apart from the other
children. He had long known that II
was not an indication of weak health,
but was due rather to a certain trans
parency of skin which neither. sun mol
wind seemed to affect. He felt just as
big and oyergrown beside her today as
he had done years ago, and Cynthy's
assent to his latest suggestion had fill
and delight as in ~ t old time.
He would have liked to know II Gym
thy was thinking of those old days In
the same way as he was. He recalled
that in that faraway time he used to
speculate whether that simple word of
assent "S'posin'" caused Cynthy any
of the pleasurable sensations 1t gave
him to hear 1t. He had never dared
to ask such a question, and he wonder
ed If he ever would. There was a de
lightful possibility that he might, and
his heart beat higher at the thought.
If he had stopped to consider that fact,
he would have known 1t was quite un-
necessary, as that organ had not been
doing normal work for a week past
and before this last increase had been
going to an alarming rate. Indeed
were there no prospect of a decrease

second balcony and then a gallery.
Ranging above the second balcony on
either side Of the theater are colon
nades of marble with lunettes Of gold
and curtains of red. The decorations
follow scheme Of driftwood gray and
gold. Into this auditorium the guests
were ushered by girls neatly CARRIED In
gray with dainty white aprons. There
| were men ushers as we'll. dressed In
light brown.
At the north and south ends eleva-
tors and wide stairways gave access to
the grand tier promenade, the stalls
| and the balcony floor. Two spiral
stairways of white marble at the
southeast and northeast corners also
lead to these levels, and at the south
west corner another spiral stairway Of
white marble leads to the smoking room
and buffet The smoking room is tin-
ished in terra Gotta. with tiled floor
and paneled woodwork in brown.
Short stairways lead from the grand
tier promenade down to the boxes and
up to the stalls. so that the occupants
Of each box will have a separate way
for entrance. Back of this promenade
is a long. narrow room 6oored with
maple and smooth enough for dancing.
On q raised platform at one end an
orchestra was stationed. On this floor
and reached from the main corridor are
the ladies' parlor and the tea room at
opposite ends Of the building.
The auditorium was brilliantly IL
Illuminated by the massed lights from
the great central chandelier and the
twelve smaller chandeliers on tho
Sides The seats were found wide and
comfortable. and on each seat is its
number. with its section and row de-
signed in tan embroidery. Deep red
curtains close the opening of the pro-

mara tablets along the walls and un-
der the dome are inscribed with the
names of fourteen dramatists. Over
the arch is the theater's crest. bearing
the motto. ITO Hold as 'Twere the
Mirror Up to Nature" The visitors
wandered through the house inspect
ing the decorations and the main foy-
er, which is interesting not only be-
cause of its artistic decorations, but
because it promises to be an art room
of value.
