Gus thing to ask a woman to be his wife;
to instill into him that he must accom-
plish much in the way of preparation
for the time when he shall love and want
to build a home nest; to imbed in his
mind the certainty that this is Gods
purpose in giving every boy life, and that
to escape responsibility by avoiding mar
riage when he shall become a man is the
highest form of selhshness
ANY mother can, with loving training,
bring her boy TO manhood with a full
realization that a too early marriage
means the undertaking of a relationship
for which he is not fitted.
She can work with him to be ready to
give a girl a glad home: ready to shield
her from the rougher edges of life: to be
in a position to provide her with such
comforts as will prevent her from doing
two or three women's work Gas hundreds
of women are doing to-day in order to
make ends meet: to be prepared to ten
ierly shield her when the wild storms of
life come; to be her full partner in the
business of life and a credit to the firm
of which she is member. Any mother
can accomplish this deep installation OF
right principle in her boy by the time he
is twenty-six years old If she will but
begin in his childhood.

CHAPTER VI.
The New Master.


Alone IN her stateroom all these hours.
Josephine st. Auban had abundant time
to reflect upon the singular nature Of
her situation. At first. and very nat,
urally, she was disposed to seek the pro-
lection Of the boats officers, but SEQ
ond thought convinced her Of the un-t
wisdom OF that course. AS to this
stranger. this stalwart man Of the West,
she had appealed to him and he had
made no sign She had no friend, no
counselor. A feeling Of ineficienoy, Of
smallness and helplessness, swept over
her. For the first time IN her Life she
found herself hard and fast IN the grasp
of events over which she had absolutely
no control. She was prisoner to her own
good fame. She dared not declare her
self. She dared not cry out for help. |
None would believe her story. She her
self did not fully understand all the cir
cumstances connected with her unlawful
banishment from the capital Of the
proudest and freest republic Of the world
1t was while still in this frame OF mind,
that. on the day following. there came
to her a messenger bearing the
card OF Warville Dunwody. She gased
at It for some moments undecided, do
batting. She tried to reason Had she
trusted rather to woman's vaticination,
matters had been better for her. What
she actually did was to summon Jeanne.
to complete some hurried toilet prepara-
tions. Then she set out to meet the
sender OF the card.
There was no occupant Of the saloon
excepting one. who rose as she entered,
hesitating. On the instant a sudden
change swept over Dunwody'a face. Was
It the first assuredness It had borne? IT
am glad that you have thus honored
me-" he SAID, simply.
IT is much pleasanter to move about
as one may" she answered. But where
is our friend, Capt Carlisle, this morn
ing? Is he i'll, or simply unmindful OF
one so unimportant as myself? I have
not heard from him"
He left the boat last night" answered
Dunwody. gravely, his eyes fixed on her
face.
Left the boat-he is gone7 Why, he
sent me no word, and I thought-at least,
he said
He has, madame. like Cataline, evad-
ed, broken forth, absconded, But as to
leaving word for you, he was not quite
so heartless as all that have a mes
sage for you
With a word craving permission, she
opened the message. 1t was brief.
My Dear Countess-You, will be glad
to know that so far as your late jailer
is concerned, your captivity Is at an end.
I am leaving the boat at the next stop,
and since that falls in the nighttime.
will not disturb you Senator Dunwody
has kindly consented to act as your
guardian in my stead, and from your
message to him, Judge that In any
case you would prefer his care to mine
My dear countess, they are not merely
idle words when I say to you that you
have won my respect and aduliration-
Be on your guard, and allow me to ad-
wise you In the interest OF yourself and
others to remain-silent.

SUMMER LUNCHEON
GIVEN ON A PORCH
Is Novel Way of Entertain
ing Guests.

A rather novel idea for summer lunch
con to be given on a porch is to use four
or six small tables, spread over them
the big frames made for wagon umbrella
use, covered with paper flowing vines.
One table should be of wistaria with
the heavy stems running down through
the center OF the table to the standard.
the table itself to be covered with a
lilac art linen square, with serviettes to
match.
The second table should have the UNI
brella OF pond lilies, their stems twin
ing about the handle and being caught
at the bottom by cattails, the table be-
ing covered by an art square of corn
color with the serviettes to match.
Umbrella of Roses.
The third table may have the umbrella
of the crimson rambler rose vines and
roses, and the table below should be
covered with the art linen in the old
soft gray green.
The fourth table may be of pink morn
in-glory vines and blossoms and the lin
en- cover below be of the pink linen.
Each table should use. If possible, the
china that is of tn same color as the
flowers, and in the menu the ices, jellies
and cake should carry out the color
scheme as far as it is possible to do so.
The rest of the porch may be finished
in Southern smilax, which is inexpensive,
ferns and potted palms completing the
green, cool effect.
Natual flower corsage bouquets for the
ladies, fastened to a fan, made of pretty
and one side OF the fan may be
chosen plain so that 1t may be auto
graphed by the guests. present. Tiny
flower pots of the paper ''raffla," with
tiny paper plants in them. also make
very cunning favors.
If one wishes, and has the time, the
entire decorative scheme may be made
at home.

To Disinfect a Carpet.

If any article Of the household fur
niture requires disinfecting occasionally
It is carpet, especially If It has been
used a considerable time. The following
is a method recommended both as a
disinfectant and a preventive Of moths.
Add three tablespoonfuls of turpentine to
three quarts of water, saturate a large
sponge with this mixture, squeeze It al
most two-thirds dry and go over the car
pet carefully. AS soon as the sponge be-
comes dirty cleanse II and immerse in
the turpentine and water again. You will
be surprised to see how bright and new
IL will make the carpet.
