Milly held her breath expectantly
--gorgeously appointed bed chamber in the
Lord Mayors Mansion. Two white
capped nurses waited upon the serious
faced doctor who leaned anxiously over her
bed.
As Mr.. Mayer read on, Milly noted more
strange condolences in the lives Of Mildred
and herself: Mildred had found herself in
the home Of Sir Charles, who lived in the Lord
Mayors Mansion with his widowed mother.
And here was she, Milicent, hearing all about
it in the home of Charles Mayer, who likewise
lived with his widowed mother. Then, too,
a column or so later on, when Mildred began
to convalesce, she spent many happy hours
in the Lord Mayors picture galleries, wander
ing among the portraits Of his ancestors
Milcent gazed up at the elegant crayon por
trait Photographic basis that hung over the
mantle in Charles Mayors parlor While
the subject Of the picture was older than our
hero, he had the same splendid, wayy nous
tache, the same dark, dreamy eyes. Yes,
undoubtedly this, too, was the portrait of an
ancestor.
Mrs. Mayer, looking up from her knitting,
noted the object Of Mlly's interest.
"That's Mr. Mayer, she explained proudly
while her son paused in his reading TO turn
the page "Chare made it from a little
photo that was taken just before he died. "
Charlie glanced at his fathers portrait
and gave deprecang little shrug, as much
as to say: Merely one Of my early things
You ought TO see the work I'm doing now. !"
He resumed his reading. For almost a
page in the story paper Mildred gained
steadily in strength.
Upon several occasions, when they
thought her attention was elsewhere, She
felt that Sir Charles and his mother were
regarding her searchngly. But when she
looked up they would instantly cease their
scrutiny and talk rapidly Of things lmper-
sonal.
1t finally all led to this:
One day when she was standing absorbed
before her favorite portrait in the art gal
lery she instinctively felt the presence OF
someone behind her. She turned It was

To Reduce Household Expenses

Il EEPING household accounts win
lose many OF its terrors TO young
housekeeper II she has a special book
and compares expenses from month to
month. Uninteresting as it may seem.
there is real satisfaction and pleasure
to be had IN noticing the sliding scale
OF food supplies. The necessities of
one week become the Injuries Of the
next.
Eggs. for example. have developed a
positive fascination for one bride who
recently went TO housekeeping. All
over the country they have risen In
price. This girl began by paying 30
cents dozen for fresh laid eggs, and
now she is giving 80 cents for the same
quality. Eggs, formerly a common
breakfast dish, are now slated among
the Injuries TO be INDUCED in only oc-
casionally. Bacon is being substituted.
and the brides thrifty soul rejoices that
by buying it in a good sized piece and
cutting the slices off as needed she
makes a saving in the household ex-
penses that permits OF her indulging in
an occasional duck or something else

HOMEMADE FACE CREAM.

For face massage a good food is very
necessary, Here is a special recipe,
one that is used by a famous beauty
specialist:
Take an ounce Rf lanoline and an
ounce Of lard, melt together and add,
beating constantly. the following: Glyc-
erin, 2 tablespoonful; powdered boz
rax. half a teaspoohful; rosewater, two
teaspoonfuls; perfume. twenty drops.
This skin food should be used at
night after washing the face thorough
ly in hot water and drying with soft
towel.
Take some Of the cream on the tips
of the fingers and firmly, but not
roughly. massage it with a circular
motion into the skin. giving an extra
allowance to the cheeks If they are in
clined TO be thin and wrinkied.
After ten minutes massage wipe off
all excess with a soft rag, then rub the
face with a clean chamois. A little of
the oream viii still remain in the skin
and during the night viii be gradually
absorbed through the tiny pores and
ducts.

Just a Word to
The Business Girl

GIRLS desiring to enter upon busi-
ness career must impress upon
their minds the fact that an employer
appreciates a woman who can seize an
idea and follow it out without asking
thousand and one questions. They
must not think because they are girls
an employer should be more consider
ate toward them and their shortcom-
ings than he would be toward those OF
a man.
Then some girls are apt TO be over
sensitive when they first enter an Of
fee or shop and consider that every
little thing we'll done is deserving OF
praise from their employers. Perhaps
it may be, but in five cases out of six
the employer has no time to praise his
assistant. If a girl knows and believes
she is doing her best, even In the small
est details, she will have the reward OF
a quiet conscience. and a kindly en-
pioyer will not forget word or en-
couragement every now and then
A girl should take every opportunity
of improving her talents. She ssscnld
not be afraid OF doing a little extra
work and think that she has more than
her share when her employer asks her

Furnishing the
Summer Bedroom

CHARMING bedroom curtains in
colonial effect that can be made
at home are OF plain net in either
square or round mesh. They are made
with a hens about an inch in width
along the two sides and across the bot
tom, or fine linen tape half an inch in
width can be sewed on the under side
just within a narrower hem and made
into a simple design at the corners.
These curtains should hang next the
pane. while for the inside hangings
across the top OF the window casing
and down each side Of a group OF win
dows figured English chintz is gener-
ally used.
The longer strips reach Just about
two inches below the sill and are only
width of the material. while the va
lance across the top. which is plated
on rings in scant box plaits, is about
fourteen inches long when finished and
extends across the longer pieces at the
sides of the window.
In tones these draperies carry out
the color scheme OF the room, but need
not be Of the same design. It Is best
when intending to use hangings of this
kind to have the papering or wall dec
orations as simple as possible unless a
paper can be found 60 exactly match
