There is a huge living room and dining room. all done in soft, lovely colors, the hangings and rugs and paper ing all furnished by an artistic decorator who went up from Birmingham to study the plan. The dining room is a typical old English room and so cozy and beau tifuli Electric lights and hot water add to the comfort and ease or the family and their guests.
 '"The grounds about the house are as pretty as you will find in Tennessee. Big oak trees stand in front of the house, and it was under their shelter that we had a wonderful barbecue. Yes, 1t brought back the good old ante bellum days, to live as sumptuously and as easily as we did dur
 ing that week. There were even plenty of negroes to do the work in the fine old fashioned way, for five servants were taken up from Birmingham, and Lena. whom every hostess knows, went up to cater for us. Crates and barrels of the best sort of delicacies were shipped from Birmingham and these, added to the chickens and turkeys and geese that are so bountiful and to the products of the farm, made the whole week one continu- ous sumptuous party. You know. it is stock farm Q00 head of mules were sold just before we arrived there), and so, cattle being plentiful. the barbecue which was given for us a day or two after our arrival included every sort of beef-birds as well. Sixty people were asked out from Fayetteville for the barbecue, and the weather was glorious, so it was a stu pendous success.
 "Oh there was something every day to entertain us. The rides in the automo- piles to and from the station and over the country about, 'possum hunts, drives and horseback rides, and hunting, which were enjoyed by the out of door folk; then one evening we had a story telling party as we sat about a great fire and roasted chestnuts. There was a Hal loween party too, and we all wore cos tunes and had as much fun as children
 It was a wonderful week and we will never forget it''

While I was waiting l began to spec ulate on my victim.
 "Rube," said to myself. Plays "Rube' parts-"Rube' meaning country person of limited experience, and who. by the way, has been the motif of more humor- alleged and otherwise-than any other type of humanity.
 Actors have exaggerated ''rubes" comic artists have worn out countless pencils sketching them; politicians. punsters and pests of every conceivable variety have had their little joke at the expense of the sometimes unsophisticated individual of either sex, distinguished by quaint simplicity.
 MT William T. Hodge has made the 'Rube famous" I meditated, and then began to wiggle and get nervous and im- patient. Wonder if he looks like one!" 1 gasped.
 Suddenly I spied walking slowly along the outskirts of the Palm Room tall, scarce entirely perpendicular looking per- son in a brown suit, brown shoes. soft felt hat turned slightly from his face, displaying to the admiring gaze decid- edIy corrugated forehead and tired look ing eyelids.
 He was strolling aimlessly, evidently trying to make his hawklike glance ap- pear casual, in case some woman in wait ing might think him bold.
 At least I think it was that.
 'Its Daniel Vorhees Pike" I muttered, and went forward to meet MT. Pike, or rather MT. Hodge, for there is absolute ly. no dual personality in MT. Pike or MT. Hodge, his creator, for they are one and the same personl
 I was right
 It WAS MT. Hodge and before I knew 1t we were shaking hands and chatting as though we had known each other all our lives.
 He's awfulIy easy to get acquainted with.
 Not at all timid.
 His looks deceive him.
 I had to pinch myself to believe that was at last sitting face to face with

FRIENDS THOUGHT
 SHE WOULD DIE
Five Years Illness Caused Mrs. Jenkins Friends to Think She Could Not Recover. Old Lady Thought
 Different

Germantown, Tenn.-"For five (5) years, was not able to do any of my work" writes Mrs, Laurel Jenkins of this place, and half of the time I was In bed.
 I suffered with womanly trouble, and would take such nervous spells, l could not stand on my feet, and my friends thought surely I would die. l could hardly get out of bed, or walk step.
 At last an old lady advised me to take Cardui the woman's tonic, and now I can go most anywhere.
 cardui certainly saved my life. Had you seen me before I began taking it, you would not think I was the same person.
 I had suffered for five years with womanly trouble. but Cardui made me we'll. I can't say too mucn for it."
 You need not be afraid to try Cardui. 
 for in doing so, you are not experiment. ing with a medicine of doubtful merit. Cardui has been in use for more than fifty years. and its sale has steadily in- creased each year.
 In this half century of time, it has helped thousands and thousands of weak, nervous women. It is purely vegetable, mild harmless. and of proven value.
 Try Cardui- It may be just the medi- cine you need.

 One thing perhaps you may be in- terested to know, MT. Hodge said pret- tily, lis that my little 2-year-old daugh- ter is named Genevieve-for the old song Sweet Genevieve,' that MT. Tarkington and Mr. Wilson interpolated in The Man From Home.
 "Yes, my wife was an actress" MT. Hodge said proudly, in answer to nay question. ''She was Helen Hale, and was the leading comedienne in The Yankee Counsel and Woodland but she has forsaken the footlights long ago"
 Charles Dickens intended originally to make MT.
