Circulating Libraries.

It Is absolutely impossible to say just when the first circulating library was opened. If there was ever a rec ord of the important event, 1t is lost. We know that during the middle ages stationers used to lend books on hire, and here, no doubt. we have the germ of the modern circulating library. One Samuel Fancourt started a real cir culating library in England about the year 1740, but 1t appears that the peo- pie were not ready for 1t, since 1t soon failed. Similar institutions at Bath and London, scme ten years later, seem to have succeeded, and from that time the circulating library began to get foothold, not only in England, but in other European coun- tries.

 Trimmer led Medders out. Lucy looked about her, wonderingly, for a moment, but whatever her thoughts may have been, they were ended sud. denly when Harry hurried in.
 I'm so sorry not to have met you when you arrived" he said, seizing both her hands, while she drew her. self away in shyness.
 q am truly glad to see thee, Harry" she told him. "Thy house is most seemly"
 Harry looked quickly at her. There seemed to be an undercurrent of hid den meaning in her words. But a glance at her lovely face, framed in the sunny hair escaping from be- meath the simple Quaker bonnet, was enough to convince him that there had been no guile in her remark

PICNIC HINT OF SOME VALUE
Mix the French Dressing Before Start Ing and Have It All Ready
 for Use.

Instead of taking separate bottles of oil and vinegar, with the requisite seasonings for French dressing, and measuring and mixing it just before using, try what a Little Wise Lady taught Busy Planner. Measure all your ingredients, and put them in tightly corked bottle or small pre- serve jar," she said. "The salt and sugar will dissolve thoroughly long before you reach the woods
 When your salad is ready for it's dressing simply take the bottle or jar and give 1t a thorough churning. The mixture will be perfect Of course, the colder it has been kept the better. invented this plan after seeing my neighbor pour a little vine gar into her oil bottle, to take up the last teaspoonful that always takes so long to run down and out, when one Is In hurry. She shook it we'll and poured the emulsion thus formed into the mayonnaise she was mixing, leaving nothing in the bottle
 Tt is far better plan than warm ing the bottle in order to hasten it's emptying"

COOKING BREAKFAST IN BED
Electric Appliances Do Away With an Immense Amount of Former
 Necessary Labor.

Surely no one should have trouble in keeping cook in house with all electric apliances, like that described in Suburban Life. The author says: 'In connection with the wiring of the house, a switch was located in the maids bedroom at the haad of her bed. When she first woke in the morning she could turn this switch and start the coffee and cereals be- fore getting out of bed She would get these dishes ready before retiring for the night, and then simply insert the plugs in the electric dishes ready for turning the switch the next morn ing. Thus she was always sure of avoiding delay, which is not always true with oal range. At the best. the fire in the coal range would be just about coming up by the time the maid was dressed and in the kitchen With the electric outfit, the coffee and the cereal were practically ready to serve"

CHAPTER w.

From the hallway came gliding in the sorrowful figure of Socrates Prim- mer. He caught his breath sharply at sight of Lucy, and then advanced, with his hands outstretched.
 "Ah, my poor, poor cousin Lucy!" he walled
 "Oh, cousin Socrates!" Lucy cried. How nice of thee to come"
 Medders looked on with kindly amusement. He had long known of Primmer's unrequitted attachment for Lucy, and to him it seemed that the best course to pursue was to allow Trimmer to weep 1t out. Trimmer looked mournfully at Lucy and said:
 "As Riley might have written: Now my heart is full of sorrow and my
 soul would fain repine For another fellows counting that old
 sweetheart of mine'
 But" Lucy smiled, T am not old. and I am not thy sweetheart, cousin Socrates"
 "Verily, Socrates" Medders said, thou wouldst make a poor sort of husband, weeping continually about the house. Thou mightst dampen the clothes on ironing day, though"
 Don't mind father, cousin Socra. tes," Lucy said. "He doth but jest"
 Harry said for me to ask thee to

True to the Death.

Not long since the driver of the en. zine on one of the Belgian lines of railway saw large dog on the road way between the metals. He put on the whistle, yet it did not move, but only stood and parked furiously at the approaching engine. Still on, on, on, came the train, and still there stood the dog, more furious than before The train passed, and at the next station 1t was noticed that part of dress was clinging to the wheel guard. A messenger was sent back, when a dead child was found. which had evil dently fallen asleep, and whom the noble dog tried to protect to the very last, giving his very life sooner than finch from his trust.

the room. 'Tm so nervous they'd think was guilty of something ter rible or that I didn't want them here. If I were guilty I could carry it of easily. Thus does innocence get the hooks!"
 And as Lucy and her father came into the room he slipped out the door leading to the back hallway.
 Wonderingly. Lucy Medders and her father parted the hangings and en- tered Harry's den. They gazed about them, at the steins, the boxing gloves, the pipe racks, the pictures and all the other fittings of bachelors den.
 On the table lay deck of cards, a half smoked cigar, an opened box of cigarettes, and some scattered red white and blue chips.
 "Oh-h-!" Lucy gasped. Isn't 1t lovely, father?"
 And this"-Mr Medders said "this is Harry's homer"
 Tt seemeth different from our own home, doth it not?" Lucy asked, shyly.

CHAPTER II.-(continued.)

Make yourself at home, old chap" Harry said. Whats that? Your bag gage?"
 "This?" Trimmer sighed, indicating the hatbox. "This is a present I bought for Lucy. I happened to see 1t In the window of a store near here, and l purchased 1t and had it sent to this address. It just came, so I want to put it away and later give it to her with my own hands. Alas, my poor, poor Lucyi"
 Why-what's happened? Whats so sad about Lucy?"
 She-she-oh, my poor, poor Lucy!" Trimmer walled, going slow ly from the room.
 Well, wouldn't that bumb you!" Harry soliloquized Cousin Socrates Is evidently allowing his blighted af- fect1ons to act on his lachrymal glands. Now. looking about the room, l expect I'd better send Venus and the ballet girls to the attic for a much needed rest"
 He was just about to take the ballet girl picture from the wall, when he was startled by an angry argument in the hallway. One voice was that of a woman. another that of the butler, and the third the broken accents of the German into whose auto Harry had smashed.
 Great guns!" he exclaimed. They've trailed me down"
 Into the room rushed the pair.
 "Youi" both cried.

 Why" Lucy said, looking at the picture, "see the ladies in the rainy day skirts!"
 q see the ladies'" Medders said, drily, "but where are the skirts? Verify, daughter, they must have feared a food"
 Perhaps" Lucy offered, seeing that her father viewed the picture with dis approval, perhaps it is biblical scene"
 May, daughter If it were, more people would be buying Bibles"
 Medders turned from the picture. and his attention was caught by the statuette of the Venus de Milo. He looked at 1t intently.
 This is a sad sight, daughter" he remarked.
 Because her arms are broken, fa- ther?" Lucy asked, innocently, not un. derstanding that her father was ex. pressing a dislike to such works of art. "Peradventure she broke them of trying to hook her dress in the back" she continued, merrily.
 "She hath no dress to hook," Med ders said, solemnly. But, aside from these, the place hath seemly look"

CHAPTER III.

For a moment the couple looked at Harry and Harry looked at them. It would be difficult to say whether they or he felt the greater surprise.
 q W1nt that hat!" spoke the lady, in determined tones.
 "Yess. We want dot hati" said the gentleman.
 q haven't hat" Harry explained
 The German was about to explode in few belligerent remarks, but the lady put her hand on his arm to re- strain him, and said in milder tones: You can help me out of a most dis dressing situation, sir"
 How so, madam?" Harry asked.

But with all her simplicity of manner she had that indefinable quality called charm" which may not be acquired through the donning of gaudy raiment and the heightening of the color of the cheeks, nor by any of the extran- eous aids to beauty which need not be particularized here. And such charm. also, may not be lost at any moment by the one possessing it. Charm in 8 woman is like magnetism in a man. It manifests itself unconsciously and naturally, so that others measure the possessor by it and not by his or her appearance.
 Harry drew her toward him, still holding her hands. There was no mistaking his wish. Lucy, unsophisti- cated though she was. understood him.
 May, Harry" Lucy said. Thee know I do not think girl should be kissed before she is welded"

To Clean Suede

Suede gloves can be perfectly clean ed with oatmeal by putting the gloves on the hands and rubbing them through a bowl of the meal exactly as you would do when washing the hands.
 If there is very dirty spot, rub it well with a clean flannel cloth and the meal. When the nap on suede gloves or shoes becomes flattened down or slightly soiled. rub them lightly with sandpaper. This will ef- fectually restore the good appearance of the suede.

VIRGINIA HAS MOST FISH
Maryland Claims Largest Number Of
Professional Fishermen-Alaska's
Catch Most Valuable.

One out of every 400 persons in the
United States is engaged in the task
of catching enough fish to satisfy the
appetite of the remaining 500. In 9TH
er words, there are nearly quarter
of a million men who catch fish not
because they like the fun of 1t but
because they are paid for it. They
catch approximately 1,000.0O0,OOO
pounds of fish year, and this is
worth, all told, upward of $50,000,00O.
or say two-thirds of the total capital
invested in the industry. A consid-
cradle part of the capital, over $780,.
100000, is tied up in vessels, of which
a recent enumeration showed 1918.
Maryland has by far the largest
number of professional fishermen. It's
figures are 42,812, as against the 49,.
379 of Virginia Maine, with 16,945,
and Massachusetts,, with 4,363, follow
and then comes Alaska, with 1906.
Other states with more than 10000
are North Carolina, 12,045; New Jer-
sey, 1900, and New York, 1860.
It is Virginia, however, that catches
the most fish. It's showing is 378, 1885,
S5S pounds, as against New York's
228,092,285 and Alaska's 165, $4,000.
But Alaskas catch is worth the most
in the market-$10,0o0,Ooo, or more
than twice as much as the next two.
New Jersey and Virginia. Alaska also
has the most money invested in fish
ing boats, something above $3,000,00O.
Massachusetts is trife under the
same figure. New York and Mary
land have invested about $4,000. 900,
and Virginia, California and Maine
all more than $1,o00,OOO. Virginia has
the most fishing vessels, 1920 in
number. Maryland's number 11,496,
New Jerseys 1854, Names 6,23S and
New York's $3.50.

FALL OF SNOW WITHIN DOORS
Phenomenok at Once Actually 90
Cured in Stockholm Under
Peculiar Conditions.

1t is quite possible to have fall
of snow within doors. Indeed, the
ching has actually occurred, and the
cause was no other than that which
produces a fall of snow in the open
AIR. e.. a subsection of moist atmos-
phere to a temperature cold enough
to crystalline the drops of moisture
that we're formed.
The event, which is of authentic rec
ord, occurred in Stockholm. On very
cold, clear night an evening party
was in progress. Many persons were
gathered in a single room, and 1t be-
came so warm that several women
complained of feeling i'll. An attempt
was made to raise window, but the
sashes had been frozen in their places,
and it was impossible to move them.
In these circumstances there was but
one thing to do. It was necessary that
air should be admitted, SO pane of
glass was smashed Immediately a
cold current of air rushed in, and at
the same instant flakes of snow were
seen to fall to the floor in all parts OF
the room The entrance Of a frosty
current into an atmosphere saturated
with moisture had produced a snowfall

Quaint Conditions Of Tenure.

When the Earls of Derby were lords
of the Isle of Man they held their
lands on condition of giving two fall
cons to the kings Of England on their
coronation. The lord of the manor OF
Neither Blesington, In Kent, had to
provide three maple cups. Bearing a
towel for the king when washing be-
fore the banquet was the service which
entitled the owner of the manor OF
Heydon, in Essex, to one-half of his
lands, while to retain possession OF the
other half he had to provide the basin
and ever The manor of Liston, in
the same county, was held on the easy
terms of making waters for the king
and queen to eat at the banquet. Not
the least curious rented was that for
the manor of Arlington, in Surrey,
the owner of which had to present a
basin of Cruel to the king. This serv-
ice was imposed in the reign Of the
Conqueror, when the manor was held
by the kings cook.

Governors and Their Salaries.

In Alabama a futile effort has just
been made to raise the salary of the
governor from $4,000 to $500. Ala
bama is one of the 16 states that pay
their governors $4,000 year. There
are three states that pay only $4,000.
There are seven in which the salary
is $4,000 and eight that pay $4,000.
Wyoming, Vermont and Nebraska
think that $4,000 is enough for gov
ernor. There are 13 states that pay
salaries higher than $4,000, the range
being from $4,000 to $4,000 Only
one state, Illinois. pays the latter
amount. Five states, including New
York, pay $4,000 each. Alabama is
one Of the leading commemorative in
the $4,000 group. Colorado, Florida,
Oregon and Idaho are others in this
group. The governors Of Alaska and
Hawaii, both appointive, get $4,000 a
year each, while the governor of Porto
Rico gets $4,000.
