:: Their Married Life ::
Helen and the Trunks Are Gone When Warren
Returns to the Hotel in Paris

thought there would be only the room
for one night and breakfast-but there
was charge for light, service and
bath. However. she was too glad 10 es-
cape from the place TO mako any pro-
test. and a little later she was in a
cab with their baggage on top. driving
to the new hotel with feeling of
mingled glee and awe an her own te-
merI'y
II was just by the French gilt clock
on fhe mirrorcd mauteI Of the rose
;apestricJ sitting room, when Helen
closed the door after the porters who
had brought up the baggage.
Even before she took off her hat she
made an eager, Interested inspection Of
every detail NJ the rooms They were
Iuxuriously and perfectly appointed
Everything was I'm exquisite taste.
II would be over three hours yet be
fore she could expect Warren. But
she had no desire 90 go out in the blaz-
ing. midafternoou sun, for the heat was
sitting She would spend the time in
unpachug. In getting MP their laundry,
and in going over her clothes. which
after the week on board ship needed
attention.
1t was "a real JOY to shake out her
gowns and hang them in the spacious
closets, and to arrange hsr clothes in
the white papered drawers Of the chif-
fonoIr and dresser The rooms were so
beautiful that there was a sense Of
luxury in just moving about and get
ting settled in them.
At o'clock she decided suddenly TO
dress-to put on her white chiffon ev-
eniug gown She would lay out War
ren's evening clothes. and when he saw
her all dressed he would hardly refuse
TO dress, too They would live up to
the luxury Of the place.
To SIT down and arrange her hair
before the low dressing table was IA
real pleasure Helen thought Of an the
hours she had to stand before her high
bureau at home. and resolved to have
a dressing table like this as soon as she
got back
About half-past six she was trailing
about the apartment in her white chif-
fon gown, looking al herself In the mir
rors with which the rooms aboundcd,
and feeling as though she wa living in
play. The very foreign atmosphere Of
IL an added TO the charm Although it
was hardly dusk, she turned on the
electric lights. which Glowed softly
through their silken shades.

Mrs. Martin paused in the knead-
ing Of the large batch Of dough and
glanced toward the tiny sitting room.
pretty girl of about eighteen
emerged in response to the call.
Meggie glanced at the grabbed
handwriting on the letter, and a gasp
Of surprise escaped her lips.
Who is it from, Meggie? Is any
thing wrong?"
The girl burst into a flood of hot
furious tears, and flung the letter
scornfully upon the table
IF Jack is too good for me, I don't
thank her to tell me so, she declared.
She herself wasn't much until she
married Jacks father"
Meggie fed upstairs to her own
little room. Mrs. Martin picked up
the letter and read it slowly. A look
Of contempt flashed in her honest
gray eyes.
l. The letter, which was couched in
terms of lofty condescension, mingIed
with biting satire. conveyed the IN
mistakable message that the silly at
tachment existing 'twixt Meggie and
Jack was viewed with disapproval,
and advised the girl to look else
where, unless she wished to bring
Jack to financial beggary
In a few minutes Meggie, her eyes
red with crying, descended the stair
case, and her mother gathered her in
her arms.
Take no heed of the foolish letter,
my dear" she said soothmgly.
Ten minutes later found Meggie on

IMPORTS ITS PAVING STONES
Peculiar conditionsof Affairs Existing
in Brazil Is Due to Savage
indians.

Street paving in the towns of the
Brazilian seaboard and of the ANA
ION river region is not the simple
matter it becomes in this country.
Because Of the lack of accessible quar-
ries from which paving material might
be obtained, it is necessary to import
cobblestones from Portugal for this
purpose. Stone quarries in the lower
Amazon basin are nonresident, and
the headwaters of this great river,
where it would doubtless be possible
to locate quarries-are not only prac-
tically unexplored, but are also guard
ed by many tribes of hostile Indians.
No one has yet been found who
will brave these dangers for the sake
of the despised cobblestone Asphalt
or crude oil is unsuitable for paving
the thoroughfare of tropical cities be-
cause of the intense heat. The city
of Para, situated near the mouth Of
the Amazon, is the largest user Of
Portuguese paving stones. This me-
tropolis lies almost on the equator,
and is the chief rubber port of
Brazil.

The collections at the negro church
had been far from satisfactory, and
the parson had racked his brains to
find source to enlarge it. Finally
he hit upon plan.

got up and said: "Bredderen, dere's

told me that his chickens was stolen

gleefully as he counted the collection.

neys. The word "Lammas" is cor.
ruption of Loaf Mass, so-called because
on this day it was once customary to
present at church a loaf made from
the new corn. Perhaps some relic of
this custom still fingers among Sus-
sex farmers, who try to get a loaf
baked from the new wheat before the
end of Goodwood week. During the
eighteenth century the Dissenters OF
London kept high festival on Lammas
day to commemorate the death of
Queen Anne If she had lived they

Ants Which Plant and Bake.

The extraordinary habits of the har-
vester ant have been known to nat
uralists. Certain species not only har-
vest and store in granaries the seeds
upon which they feed, but actually
plant and cultivate an annual crop
of their food seeds. Still more re-
markable stories are told of an ant
that is common in Dalmatia, the Mes
sor barbarus. According to DR.. Ne
ger of the Dresden forestry school,
this ant not only cuts leaves and
gathers seed, but actually makes
makes bread or biscuit! The seeds
are first sprouted, then carried into the
sun and dried, then taken back to the
underground chambers, where they are
chewed into a dough. The dough is
then finally made into tiny cakes,
which are baked in the sun, then care.
fully stored for future use. From
these observations it would appear
that the art Of cooking is not confined
to the human race.

Common Oriental HeadWear.

The fez or tarbush is limited by no
considerations Of nationality Or faith.
1t is the almost universal head cover
ing Of the eastern and southern lands
of the Mediterranean and has been
widely distributed in the still active
diffusion of Mohammedanism. This
type of felt hat without brim is of
the utmost antiquity and seems to
have undergone no marked change,
save the tassel, from the early monu-
mental record Of the Euphrates valley.
The designation fez, comparatively
modern in its application, derives
from the oasis the only source of dye
stuffs which could give the peculiar
shade of red most favored.

WHAT GOOD ARE COUNTY FAIRS!

The following editorial from the
Times-E Enterprise answ-
ers the queries of a few skeptic that
oppose a county fair for. Sumter county
on the grounds that it. will do No
good" Whatever is true in Thomas
county is equally true in Sumter.
I'VE have often heard the questiol
argued pro and con, as to what ac-
tual good came of a county fair. The
general argument that it showed
what the county could do and inspi"-
ed those who are not doing to be up
and doing in order to keep up with
the other fellow, holds good, but there
is another argument which was d.
monstrated this week in Thomasvill9 :.
1.-TWO gentlemen were in the CITY
from the Middle West. They happened
to strike here in their tour of the
South as some do almost every week,
and they of course inspected the
Thomas County farmers fair. One Of
those gentlemen, in talking to few
at the grounds yesterday, none of
whom he knew and one of whom hap
pened to be the writer, stated that h.
was positively amazed at the agricui-
tural possibilities of this county as
demonstrated by the fair displays.
HE stated that he had heard of
Thomasville as winter resort, AMI
stopped by here out of curiosity, sim
ply to see the town. He had heard o.
other counties in Georgia, through adj
vertising mediums which they en-
ploy in their various trade bodies, but
he hadn't seen Thomas county so adj
vertised. He had believed that this
was barren, sandy soil with a splen-
i'd winter climate and a lot of trees.
When he learned what Thomas
county farmers had done and could
do, and was shown with what little
effort this was accomplished, he be-
came abnormally enthusiastic and has
decided to locate in this county.
1--WE believe that the influence of
this one man alone and it's exertiol
his friends in the Middle West
will mean more eral good to Thomas
county than the entire amount OF
which it took to finance the
sixth farmers fair.
This is one of the results which we
see demonstrated in actual cash"
