So exJudge German wrote to his
nephew, Phil Walker, just before col
lege vacation. The judge was bach
elor sixty years old, who had bought
manor house on retiring from the
bench. He was alone except for his
servants, and Phil was his favorite
nephew
Judge German had caught only a
brief glimpse Of Aileen Travers as
she crossed the lawn of her mother
grounds next door. Any lawyer could
have made case of false pretenses
out of that letter, but Phil Walker
replied that he would be happy to
come. Miss Aileen Travers was just
two weeks ahead of him on vacation
She had got home and settled down
for the summer before he was due.
When at home she was the man
about the house. She could handle
saw or hammer, and when the lawn
mower got out of killer she had a
way of fixing 1t up instead of sending
1t off to town to be tinkered at. She
reached home on this occasion to find
that many things needed her atten-
ton, and among them was the glazing
of pane of glass in the kitchen win
dow. This was left to the last, but
on the day her mother and little sis
ter went away to be gone till night
the cook was informed
'Now. then, If James got that pane
Of glass and some putty, we will fix
that window. We shall need the STEP
ladder"
It's the easiest thing in the world
for smart and good-looking girl to
putty In a pane OF glass She first
takes out any fragments of the old
pane. Then she mounts to the top of
stepladder and has the cook hold

Soup is probably the most unpop

New York business girl today. She
acknowledges that It may be nour.
ishing and all that. but 1t simply does.
MT taste good to her. The only time,
so down town business girl says,
that the girls she knows resort to
soup is when their finances are at a
very low ebb.
What would astonish you, though, 50
says this same girl, rs the number Of
mothers that think that their daugh.
tiers should eat soup every day, and
try to persuade them to do It. They
say soup is so sustaining. Well, per.
haps 1t is. can't argue as to that
But ! know soup doesn't taste espe-
eially good, and doesn't make any
too good a foundation for an after.
Moons work 1t would be different
If we could have soup, then a meat
