sAsHES RETURN TO FAVOR
Pretty Whim That Has Much to Rec
ommend Ii Once More Strictly
en- RegIe.

The revival of the directoire fash
ions marks the return of the inevita-
bic sash.
This is a welcome fact to most wo-
men, who realize what an improve
ment sashes are to any frock.
Black velvet or satin is a favored
material for the directoire sash-girdle.
These are not difficult to make and
are inexpensive if fashioned at home.
It requires three yards of three-inch
ribbon velvet Three-fourths of yard
forms the waist belt. To this attach
three hooks and eyes to fasten at the
side.
The longer sash end should be cut
one and one-quarter yards and the
shorter one yard long. The ends are
bordered with deep silk fringe.
If black satin is used, it requires
one and one-half yards. Cut the strips
bias, the desired width of the sash.
Form the waist belt of soft folds.
The ends are effective if embroidered
either in black or colors. If the lat
ter are preferred, select in Arabian de-
sign.
The ends may be rounded or dag
onal Sashes of wide ribbon require
very little time to make. 1t requires
three-fourths of a yard for the waist
belt and the balance for the ends.
Finish at the left side with a wreath
of tiny flowers and foliage fashioned
of ribbon. The ends are adorned in
the same manner.

SUNSHINE IN THE HOUSE
Do Not Let Day Pass Without
Doing Something to Brighten
That Day for Others.

It was Mr.. Barrie who quantity
said, Women who bring sunshine
into the lives Of others cannot keep
it from themselves"
That is recipe to learn and apply,
If you will not try to be spreadef
of Joy for the joy 1t gives do SO from
selfish motives.
Girls may think this far-fetched.
Their one thought Is to snatch at Joy
for themselves. 1t takes experience,
perhaps bitter experience, to learn
that the joy that counts most is the
one with a rebound. Like rubber
ball, the harder you throw 1t the
quicker it's return.
The girl who starts on joy quest
for herself cannot say, "I'll be nice to
poor Maria, she has had such a stupid
time" and then go about her sunshine
shedding with patronizing airs. She
may give JOY, but the chances are
that her patronage will be felt and
resented. The sunshine that counts
glows in the heart and must come out.
One need not go into sunshine SO
cieties to bask in the rays Of JOY CIV
ing. Nor need that sunshine be for
outsiders. Sunshine shedding. like
charity, can profitably begin at home.
It is not so exciting, perhaps, to try
to brighten the lives Of mother or
small brother or sister as 1t Is to be
Lady Bountiful, but the reflex action
Is quite as strong.
Try shedding sunshine wherever
you are. Do not let a day pass with
out doing some little thing to bright
en- that day for someone else, and you
win find your own day more joyful.

SMALL TOUCHES THAT COUNT
Little Ideas for Beautifying the House
That, Will Be Found Useful
to Remember.

After the spring cleaning is over
comes the time to add those little
beautifying touches which always give
an air of "spick and spanness" to the
home.
Good taste at present leans toward
wall paper with little or no pattern.
Striped papers, however, are not
frowned upon by the artistic. Plain
papers produce a much more effective
background for pretty furniture.
White or fream tints make an admir-
able covering for the drawing room
walls.
Paintings look we'll upon it. A car
pet of moss green or pale mauve is
attractive If Persian rugs are not used.
Cover the chairs with cretonne or old
fashioned chintz.
When having sepia-colored photo
graphs framed, narrow ebony or
brown molding will enhance the beau
ty of the picture.

from England. His name was Rich
ard Keppel Cavendish, same as mine
is. He lived back yonder on the Caro-
lima coast and went to raisin' tobac-

all about it.
My grandfather said he never
knowed a man with the same aver
sion agin labor as his father mad.
Folks put it down to laziness, but they
misjudged him, as come out later, yet
he never let on.
Then one day he got his hands on
a paper that had come acrost In q
ship from England. All at once, he
lit on something in the paper, and he
started up and let out yell like he'd
been shot. BY gum, I'm the Earl OF
LAMBETH he says, and took out to
the nearest tavern and got b'ilin' full.
Afterward he showed 'em the paper
and they seen with their own eyes
where Richard Keppel Cavendish.

was his uncle; that when he left
home there was several cousins-but
they'd up and died, so the title come
to him. He never done a lick of work

CHAPTER XIV.
The Judue Sees a Ghost.

ne Juo9e SeeS q InoSS
Charley Norton's good offices did
not end when he had furnished Judge
Price with a house, for Betty required
of him that he should supply that
gentleman with legal business as
well.
Thus it happened that Judge Price,
before he had been three days in
Raleigh. received a civil note from
Mr.. Norton asking him to search the
title to a certain timber tract held by
one Joseph Quaid. The judge, power
fully excited, told Mahaffy he was be-
ing understood and appreciated.
The immediate result of Norton's s
communication had been to send the
Judge up the street to tho court house.
He would show his client that he
could be punctuaI and Painstaking.
Entering the court house, he found
himself in a narrow hall He entered
the county clerks Office. He was al
ready known to this official, whose
name was Saul, and he now greeted
him
"A little matter of business brings
me here, SIR" began the judge, with
a swelling chest and mellow accents.
II am in some haste to look up title
for my client, Mr.. Norton
Mr.. Saul scrambled up out OF the
depths of his chair and exerted him
self in the judges behalf.
This is what you want, sir. Better
take the ledger to the window, the
light In here amt much" He drew
forward a chair as ne spoke, and the
Judge, seating himself, began to pol
ish his spectacles with great delibera-
ton.
You've set on the bench, s1r?" sug-
gested Mr.. Saul.
In one of the eastern counties, but
my inclination has never been toward
the judiciary" He was turning the
leaves of the ledger as he spoke.
Found it," asked Mr.. Saul But
the judge gave him no answer; he
was staring down at the open pages
of the book Found the entry?" re-
peated Mr.. Saul.
"Eh-whats that? No" he ap-
peared to hesitate. who is this man
Quintard?"
He's the owner of hundred-thou-
sand-acre tract In this and abutting
countless" said Mr.. Saul.
Who has charge of the land?"
Colonel Fentress; he was old Cen
eral Wares law partner. I've heard it
was the general who got this man
Quintard to make the investment. but
that was before my time"
The Judge lapsed into silence.
A step sounded in the narrow hall.
An instant later the door was pushed
open, and grateful for any Interrupt
ton that would serve to take Mr..
Saurs attention from himself, the
Judge abruptly turned his back on
the clerk and began to examine the
record before him. Insensibly, how
ever, the cold, level tones OF the voice
uuickened the beat of his pulse, the
throb OF his heart, and struck back
through the years to a day from
which he reckoned time. He turned
slowly. as II in dread.
What he saw was a man verg1ng
on sixty, lean and dark, with thin.
shayen cheeks of blush cast above
the Jaw, and a strongly aquiline pro-
file. Long, black locks swept the col
lar of his coat, while his tall, spare
figure was habited in sleek broadcloth
and spotless linen. For moment the
Judge seemed to struggle with doubt,
then his face went white and the book
slipped from his fingers to the win
dow ledge.

memory, then he recalled the fight at
the tavern.
Suddenly a shadow fell obIiquely
across the foot of his narrow bed,
and Cavendish, bending his long body
somewhat, thrust his head in at the
opening.
How are you. stranger" he de-
manded, in soft drawl.
Where am II" The words were
a whisper on Yancy's bearded lips.
We'll, sir, you are in the Tennes-
see river fo' certain. Polly! you jest
step here"
\ But Polly had heard Cavend1sh
speak, and the murmur of Yancy's
voice in reply. Now her head ap-
peared beside her husbands.
La, you are some better, amt
you, sir?" she cried, smiling down on
him It's been right smart of a
spell. too; yes, sir. you've laid like

hours either-but days"
How long?"

They saw Yancy's eyes widen with
a look of dumb horror.
And you don't know nothing about
my nevvy?-you amt seen or heard
of him, ma 'am?" faltered Yancy.
Polly shook her head regretfully.
Ten or thereabouts, ma'am. He
were a heap of comfort to me-" and
the whisper on Yancy's lips was Won
derfully tender and wistful. He closed
his eyes and presently, lulled by the
soft ripple that bore them company,
fell into restful sleep.
The raft drifted on into the days
heat; and when at last Yancy awoke,
it was to find Henry and Keppel seat
ed beside him, each solacing him with
a small moist hand. Mrs. Cavend1sh
appeared, bringing Yancy's breakfast
In her wake came Connie with the
baby, and the three little brothers
who were to be accorded the cher

Mr. Cavendish exchanged glances
with Mrs. Cavendish.

air of one who had secret of great
moment to impart. Ever hear tell

No" Yancy was quick to notice
the look of disappointment on the
faces of his new friends.
Are you ever heard of royalty?
and Cavendish fixed the invalid
wandering glance.
You mean kings?"
Il shore do"
Yancy made mighty mental effort
There's them Bible kings" he
ventured at length.
Mr.. Cavendish shook his head.

much amused. by reason of the fact,
well known to him and to others,
that his colleague was anything but

1t was told at luncheon at the Law
yers' club the day before the Eqult-
able building burned down. A group
of legal luminaries were gathered
about a table discussing the apparent
impossibility of insuring the honesty
of any man, and it was contended that
there was no remedy for it save to
pick out your man and trust him ab-
solutely. No matter what safeguards
you might hedge him about with. if
ne was dishonest he would contrive
to cheat somehow. One of the law
yers told this story to emphasize his
point:
A client went into a lawyers office
in Fulton street and said that he had
a grievance with his neighbor and
wanted to go to law. He stated all
the circumstances OF the case and
counsel listened attentiyely The case

posed that reinforced concrete is a

been disproVed. according to Popular
Mechanics by the finding of bronze

Scrim is the most sanitary material
for face cloths. This cloth is porous
and free from lint, allowing a free cir
culation of air 1t also admits of
quick and effective washing and dry
ing, so that it can be cleaned after
every face bath.
Perfumed soap, except of the most
delicate odor, is no longer used by the
woman of refined tastes. The odor of
a heavily 'perfumed soap is acrid and
penetrating. completely effacing any
finer fragrance from the scent bottle
or sachet. Use a pure soap devoid OF
perfume, and apply your favorite toilet
water as an astringent after the face
or hands have been bathed.
