IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
Explanation Of the Difference Be-
tween Domestic Standards Now
and Those Of Long Ago.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there Is an interesting presentation Of
the difference that exists between the
domestic standard Of young married
women Of today and those OF the past
generation. How did the women Of
the middle class of a generation or
two ago manage when they could not
keep help? Following Is the answer
quoted from Companion editorial:
"They lived according to their
means; they did not set up impossible
standards, and they knew much less
about the science OF bringing up chill
dren. They had no special style to
keep up; gave the children weekly
bath; kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals in
courses, but put all the food on the
table at once; confined their social
affairs to evening calls and parties,
and church suppers, at which they
wore the same black silk dress for at
least two seasons; in short, every
woman did only what she could, and
her friends made it easier for her by
doing likewise"

Farmers Grievance Was That story

A story Is being told at the expense
OF an old English farmer who was
recently called upon to explain why
he had failed to take out license for

was a very, very old-fashioned puppy,

afraid Of that damned hotel. You
never know who Is in the next room,
and the slightest whisper travels from
one end to the other. That Is one way
in which Keith got onto our deal-he
had a room next to Willoughby and
Scott, and overheard them talking.
I'm not going to take any more
chances. Will you go to 'sheeny
Joe's' with me?"
She drew back from him.
'sheeny Joe's?' You mean the sa-
loon near the depot?" '.a
Sure; what's the use of being so
squeamish? You sing and dance to a
saloon crowd, don't you? Oh. l know
you're a good girl, Christie, and all
that. I'm not ranking you with these
fly-by-nights around here. But there's
no reason that l can see why you
should shy so at saloon. Besides,

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Keith drew aside the flap OF the
tent to glance without, the light fall
ing on Fairbanks face as he struggled
to a sitting posture. He had had a
new thought driven into him, yet
failed to entirely grasp its signiti-
canoe.
"But, Jack" he asked, still half
angry, how about the girl? Hasn't
she any right to this money!"

Hawley turned into the alley wh1s-

BY Force Of Arms,

Hope chung to the outer door of the
vestibule endeavoring TO see a little
OF what was transpiring without.
About her was dense darkness, and
she dare not explore the surroundings.
Behind could be heard, through what
must have been a thin partition. the
various distractions of the stage,
shifting scenery. music, shutting feet,
voices, and the occasional sound of
applause. The girl had nerved herself
to the encounter with Hawley, but
this waiting here in darkness and un-
certainty tried her to the uttermost.
Almost prepared to flee before the
terrors thus conjured up within her
mind. they left her as if by magic the
moment her straining eyes distin-
guished the approach of a dim figure
without. She could not tell who 1t
was, only that it was the unmistakable
form of man, and that he was whts-
thing softly to himself. 1t might not
prove to be the gambler, but she must
accept the chance. for flesh and blood
could stand the strain of waiting no
longer. Yet she was not conscious OF
fear, only Of exultation. as she stepped
forth into the open. her blood again
circulating freely in her veins. At
the slight creak of the door the man
saw her, his whistle ceasing, his hat
lifted. Instantly she recognized him
as Hawley. her heart leaping with the
