such a ridiculously simple little exer.

all because the sluggish blood of the
sedentary girl worker is getting what
it so badly needs-more oxygen.
Another pleasant little aid to beauty

something else.
Jimmy's exile dates from the time
he went to the town of Jefferson with
a special delivery letter. Tripping
merrily along, Jimmy's eyes fell on a
cute little black and white puppy

Jimmy's mind flashed the idea that
he would corral that pup" in his mail

the animal.
The chase finally wound up in a
nearby thicket. Jimmy gave up after
a full five minutes endeavor. Disap-
pointed, he went back to the car line.

boarded:
The conductor changed the bell for
a start and then changed still harder

is the fact that during her peregrina-

an essential to beauty. She knows,

get about as she does on a bathbun

Jack groaned as he read the friend

the lines was hint that all was not
well.
Things looked black to him, al
though he had made such a success in
business way that the Office sent
for him to come home and make a
contract with the firm, and although
he would have rather remained away
forever, Jack obeyed, and once more
found himself in the same city with
Maige.
Being salesman now, he managed
TO have his interview with the man
ager without going out among lis old
associates, and so avoided Madge, al
though a sight of her sunny hair
through the open doorway turned him
sick at heart. AS soon as matters
were settled he made his escape, al

he would have to meet the others,

BY HELEN pIsNAY.

As Jack crossed the Office on his
way to his desk, his eyes dwelt ten
derly on Madge's nimble fingers as
they traced what he felt sure was a
note to him. Thinking to surprise
her, he drew nearer, and suddenly the
large writing on the sheet seemed to
rise up and assail his eyes, With hurt
horror he read:
dearest Ted
"of course ! love you. Why doubt
me? AS long as live, I'm yours"
He waited to read no further. but
fled to the stockroom, where hidden
behind the bales and boxes, he fought
out his trouble and decided upon
course of action.
my little Madge, whom ! trusted
with my whole soul" he groaned. Her
falseness seemed impossible,
Who this fellow Ted was he did not
know. It was enough that the garl
he loved and who had promised to
marry him, was writing such a letter
TO another man.
AT last he clenched his hands. and
setting his teeth, went into the private
office of the manager. Six weeks ago,
he had been offered a position on the
road one that would pay him much
better salary, and had refused, not
wanting TO leave Madge. Now he was
glad to go, and Immediately, too. With
in two hours of his reading the begin
ming of that fateful note, he was on
the train to take up the work of one
of the commercial travellers who had
suddenly been taken sick.
Jack did not stop to say goodbye to
Madge, nor did he write her, for lie
felt that the less said the better.
Perhaps If l get away, this hurt

Paris had never seen the Palais Royal
because it is living Paris that occupies
all his interest and the Palais Royal
belongs to the past.
An attempt was made this year to
bring about the resurrection of the
palace by moving the bourse to a new
building to be erected in its gardens.
The bourse has grown too small for
the transactions carried on there.

for a time it seemed as If it was GER

city council voted it down, being un-

HOW BRIAR PIPES ARE MADE
Average Smoker Not Aware OF the

Briar root pipes have been in con
tinuous use in this country for many
years, but the general public, even the
pipe smokers, have little idea of how
they are made or Of the time and at
tention necessary in their manufac-
ture.
The briar which furnishes the root
from which the pipes are made is the
shrub called the white heath, or heath
er, and is found chiefly in the south Of
Italy, on the island of Corsica and in
Algeria. The shrub often grows to a
large size, although only the roots are
used in the pipe-making industry.
After the roots have been cleaned
of the earth which clings to them
they are sawed into blocks of various
dimensions, placed in watts and al
lowed to simmer for twelve hours.
which brings out the rich brown color
for which the finest pipes are priced.
Following this boiling process the
blocks are steam dried for two weeks
and then are sent to the factory
where they are converted into pipes.
The blocks are sorted according TO
size by experts, are placed on shelves
and kept at an even temperature for
ten days. when they are dried and
then are sent to the machines, where
the actual manufacture begins. After
the blocks have been trimmed to the
