It will be two or three years at least
before Miss Hooper comes out and until

the death Of her father. to whom she was
deeply devoted. She is at present living
at West Manchester. where she has a
handsome, country estate. During the last
year she has travelled some in the south

make their debut at the age Of IS, although
some do so at II and others not until L

We appeal for good business methods in adj
vertising-such as you apply outside.
Employ salesmen-in-print on Just the same
basis as you employ salesmen-in-person.
Accept no improved boasts. Sign no con-
tracts. Put it up to the men to make good.
That is the only way to place men on their
mettle-to keep them at constant white heat
Cling to them as long as no other men can
outsell them. But always leave room to give
the better man a show.
Advertising has not been largely done on
that basis.
The advertising agent has demanded a con-
tract, binding the advertiser for from one to
three years.
The contract was blindly made-made before
the agent had started to show results.

But we urge the demanding of actual proofs
Amy agent who can outsell another can prove
it beyond any question.
He can prove it without asking you for any
commitment. He can prove it, if you wish.
while most of your advertising still goes

We shall welcome the time when advertisers
in general awake to this fact, and employ it
There is a way to prove if your advertising
can bring better results than now.
There is a way to know if any agent can out

The way is easy, and the result sometimes
has proved to be worth a fortune.

First Floor Plan

may be dressed up and given a very
stylish appearance, but it requires
more than ordinary ability on the part
of the housekeeper to do 1t.
Especial house features require
especial treatment, and in order to
make them look right person must
purchase and make furnishings not
only to match but to TT in every way;
then it gives a style of your own. The
two small fancy windows of loaded
glass placed high up on the side OF
the parlor are calculated to work into
the general plan of furnishing and
decorating this splendid room. Wall
pieces of some kind will be required
to set under them The one large win
dow on the veranda side is supposed
to be sufficient for light in that part
of the room. The reception hall and
open stairway are well supplied with
windows.
In building this house, or any 9TH
er, it is well to give careful attention
to these details and have them in
mind before the house is started. A
great many stairWays in the new
houses are placed well back. Stair
ways have always been nuisance,
because they spoil what would other
wise be splendid rooms. By building
the stair in this way with the land
ings built into a recess, the stair
takes up less room in the house prop
er, and by placing it so far back in
the house it leaves space upstairs for
a good bedroom instead Of the old
fashioned alcoVe or front upper hall,

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF

No other house design looks so well
as a square one. No other shape
works up so well from an economical
standpoint. To get the greatest pos
sible amount of comfort and convent
ence in any house design it is neces-
sary to do lot of hard thinking and
careful planning. You cannot have
every good thing in one house, and un-
fortunately not many families are
rich enough to have two houses. But
sensible, square design Of fair size
makes it possible to incorporate more
of the better features at reasonable
outlay than any other shape or style.
The size of this house is 81 feet in
width by 81 feet inches in length,
which is good size to work up into
eight rooms. Commencing at the
front, which is the most in evidence
in any house, we have rather an I'M
usual arrangement but one that will
appeal to good many persons who
are not just ready to adopt the new
style of an extra large living room.
Many of the new houses have living
rooms that extend all the way across
the front, the idea being to use the
front of the house to the best pos
sible advantage instead of giving it
over to a hallway and stairway that
Is not used except to walk through.
A good many new houses shave a
front entrance that opens right into
this large room. In this plan the new,
large living room idea is worked out,

roster, but of course the finer the
screen the more effective it is.
In house of this size you can have
good attic with a good stairway to
reach it, something that is very diff.
cult to provide for in some designs,
You may have the space under the
roof but you spoil room to get It.
This Is another advantage in building
square house as big as this.
Other features, such as a good
sized kitchen with diagonally opposite
windows for light and ventilation, the
rear porch and the convenient stair.
way to the cellar, are all working fea
lures Of the plan that are right. Al
together the house is one of those
sensible designs that will be just as
valuable in 20 years as when the
house Is new.

THE STORY.

TT was in the long, long ago, when the
i good King David r:lled In the land
OF Israel, and the Jews had become q
safety at home and holding the fear
and the homage of the nations far and
near. In accordance with the custom
of those days the magnificence and
the power and the glory OF the kingly
Office was indicated by the number
Of women of the royal household. and
David the king had number of
wives, and at the period OF our story
there was none more beautiful, or one
who enjoyed the kingly favor to such
q degree as the fair Bathsheba.
She Il was who dwelt In the most
beautiful Of the palaces. She 1t was
who enjoyed daily communion with
the king, and shared with him In the
activities Of the royal household. And
she it was who had been blessed with
most beautiful and most promis-
ing baby boy, who at the time our
story begins was developing into the
early stages Of that boyhood time
which marks the border line of the
state Of young manhood.
This boys name was Solomon. And
the fame of the little prince had
spread through all the royal house
hold. and he no doubt would have
been spoiled by the f1attery and the
petting OF those about him had it not
been for the faithful ministry and
watchful care OF the Prophet Nathan,
who from the early days OF Solomon's
babyhood had made 1t his special
task to guard and guide the little
life. And it was the touch of this
Cody life and the instruction and en-
couragement which he was able to
give which kept the little prince grow
ing in body. mind and spirit so spien-
didiy that he was famed as much for
the precociousness of mind as he was
for the comeliness of his countenance.
Such was Solomon at the time
Of our story when he met fair Wis.
dom and fell in love with her.
Il was real experience and the
holy passions which she inspired were
as real and held him as powerfully as
though her presence had Deen a yisi-
bic one. Nay, more, for the spiritual
emotions far outweigh those OF the
fieshly desires In potency once they
are quickened into being and are nur.
tured and fed by the unfailing mama
of truth.
Solomon had the buoyancy and
open-heartedness OF youth and still
possessed that subtle something which
made him sensitive to the deeper
things and indicated a depth OF
thought and character which mystif1ed
and delighted the old prophet as he
gave him his daily instruction and
pointed the upward way for his eager
feet.
Il was just little thought, an idea
like glinting ray Of purest light
flashing through the tiny crevice into
the dark cavern, which broke in upon
Solomon's soul one day as Nathan
talked with him. Some incident had
transpired which had raised the CUES
ton as to the difference in the lives
Of men. Some made for good and
we're always upward TO better things

Catholic Church Opposes Drink,


In giving his views on the LIQUOR
question recently Archbishop Ireland
of st. Paul, made the following state
ment:
"The Catholic church is absolutely
and irrevocably opposed to drunken
ness and to misunderstanding. In
vain we profess to work for souls If
we do not labor to drive out an evil
which is daily begetting drunkards by
the ten thousand and peopling hell.
In vain we boast of civilization and
liberty II we do not labor to extermi-
nate intempeEance. Education, the
elevation of the masses, liberty-all
that the age admires-is set at naught
by this dreadful evil. The individual
conscience is the first arm in oppos-
ing it, but the individual conscience
has to be strengthened and supple
mented by law. The claim of saloon
keepers to freedom in their traffic is
the claim to spread disease, sin, pau
perism."

Another feature about the plan that
is worthy of special attention is the
pantry. In the newer houses the ten.

to reduce them In size, and some

except built-in cupboards, sideboards,
