Somewhere near them a girl began to sing
softly to her partner. The tune was new
one in Malta; so were the words. They ran
like this:
If love is half the JOY of life.
Then friendship is the rest;
Perhaps. after ALL
Friendship is the best
The voice broke off suddenly, and the lit
tie Snubbins girl spoke in her turn. "Friend-
ship is the best, she repeated in a low voice.
"Don't YOU see everything isn't LOST Half
the worlds left; you've all the realms of
friendship to explore"
Peter looked up as she stopped, and some
thing in his glance made the little Snubbins
girls heart beat strangely, delciously. She
was standing very near the half of the
world that men call love, and she didn't
know it.
Peter put the question to her squarcly,
will you show me the way to this new
kingdom?" he asked her. "Will you come
with me and help me to get back my faith?'
There was no coquetry in the little Snub-
bins girls honest glance. Her eyes met
Peters with a childish directness. "Of
course I'll help you!" she cried. "We're put
in the world to help one another-that's
life!"
Peter smiled, the genuine smile of one
who has a keen sense of humor. "Yes-
that's life he said.

ISDISHWASHING
LOST ART NOW?

A distinguished woman physician,
Frances Peele Beebe, M. D., in pa
per which she read not long since
before professional association, took
the ground that diswashing is lost
art. There can be no question that
before preparing her address she had
given considerable study to the Ques-
ton. Every good housekeeper in the
country, at least, will freely sconceGe
that 5 she knows how dishwashing
ought TO be done. They will all agree
that the dishes should first of all be
scraped of all refuse and piled in or
der, plates of the same size together.
In fact, every man who has helped
out with the things" knows this,
because his mother, his sister. his
wife or his daughter has taught him
as much, He also knows, If he has
been willing to pitch in" in an emerg-

and arranged-forks of one size to.

and knives-and that they all should
have ample hot water, with soapspuds
and thorough rinsing. "a 90 baaA .
What DR.. Beebe says is that neither
this process nor anything like it is
generally followed nowadays. What
the average considerable husband will
say is that this process, with several
additions, is the program followed ev-

HINTS ON BUYING GOODS
IN STORES OF HONOLULU

The watching OF two women in a

bought intelligently and went home

decided frame of mind and probably
left the place without being thor

An old lady who has had much ex-
perience in life, and who has by being
economical, grown from moderate cir
CumstanCes to a position of compare

buying, and | shall never cease to be
grateful. She said that she had learn

pertinent has meen made at the Che
teau of Mal.naison. where the famous
garden of roses Of the Empress 10

lavish expense to have the finest gar
den of roses in her day. They were

chateau and museum. assisted by NJ.
Jules Gravereaux and helped by the
funds contributed by generous
American. has succeeded in recons IT,
trting most of the varieties. NJ. Ora
vereaux. in searching the records
found 1S9 varieties of roses still eX-
tart which could be identified as
those that had been cultivated under
the direction of the Empress Joseph
inc. Specimens have been brought
from all over France for the last two
years and planted in the beds exactly
where they were supposed to be flour
ishing 100 years ago. M. Eugene Tou-
Chef helped to plant the garden in the
valley of the ancient park. Most Of
a single stem, and are now in. full
bloom. They are Labelled with the
same names that the Empress Joseph
inc gave them, and some Of these
names may be translated as follows:
