continuation of a winter fad, and is

TIDY HABITS TO BE PRICED
Fortunate Indeed Is the Woman or .
Girl Who Has Systematically
Cultivated Them.

Tidiness is one of the most attrIt-
tive of feminine qualities. 1t is also
one of the rarest. Early and per
sistent must be the training which
carries the girl into womanhood with
her bump of neatness" well de-
veloped. !
Unless inherently fastidious during
school days, she is liable to drift into
careless habits which she never out
grows.
One girl may have trick Of leaving
shoes about her room. AS a child she
was permitted to do this, and as she
grew older the untidy custom was
never abandoned, for the simple rea-
son that she herself did not notice
anything unusual about it, and prob
ably nobody else took the trouble to
correct her Another slovenly habit
is leaving bunch of combings in the
comb or on the dressing table. Con-
slant vigilance on a woman's part is
necessary in these small matters II
she would be thought really tidy.

By this time Keith had reached a

Should this prove true, then it was
probable the gambler had not even
yet discovered the identity of Hope,
for If he had, he would scarcely ven
ture upon taking her there, knowing
that Keith would naturally suspect
the spot. But Keith would not be like
ly to personally take up the trail in
search for Christie Maclaire. 1t must
have been Hawley then who had left
the party and ridden east, and up to
that time he had not found out his
mistake. Yet If he brought out the
fresh animals the chances were that
