yea. sorrow hath been my guest,
Hath walked beside in the morn,

And calmncss. and silent walking
In the shadow OF her somber robes.
With trust In him who guides Alright
Hath led me into glorious light.

CHINESE MAKE GOOD COOKS
Kettle Is the FaVorite Utensii With
the OrientaIs, Both at Home
and Abroad.

Families having Chinese cooks are
glad to acknowledge that, in most
instances, they make splendid serv-
ants and excellent cooks. Yet the
Chinese, in his native country, is un-
acquainted with the American means
of cooking No stoves or kitchen
ranges are manufactured in the great
Tientsin district of China, says a con-
sular report Stoves are in use, of
course, but they are by no means the
ranges to which we are accustomed.
The Chinese, however, are beginning
to manufacture small cooking stoves
patterned after imported models. The
stores at Tientsin carry line of Ger
man and American stoves. The Chi
nese use very primitive cooking ap-
paratus. The little open air eating
houses found everywhere along the
streets Of the native city, and along
the wharves. have the simplest kind
of furnace supporting a kettle. Chi
nese cooking is either stewing or boil
ing, and this kettle answers all pur
poses. In the Chinese houses a very
thin cast iron kettle is placed over
the fire, and everything which the
family eats is cooked therein. The
kettle method of cooking has been in

Inspiration Banner.

Some folks simply can't get along
without little inspiration clippings and
quotations pinned about their desks,
mirrors, bedroom walls, etc And from
frequent changing the pretty bedroom
paper is soon filled with a smallpox
array of pin pricks. The nspiration-
al banner solves the problem 1t is
very simple. Have you a school or
college pennant which is not so sacred
that you may not pin-prick it to your
hearts content? If so, hang it in
conspicuous place on level with your
eyes and proceed to pin upon it and
unpin from it all the quotations you
please. Of course, this keeps them
all in one place, but that makes them
all the more conspicuous desirable

CHAPTER VI-continued.

Gilbert was glad that his wire en-
tered at this minute, for a discussion
Of Gloria's social future probably
would not bring out all sides to the
question without a woman being a
party to the conversation.
Z just have to talk to some one, -
Mrs Gilbert confessed Immediately,
and I didn't have the heart to 90
into the library. I peeped in just now
and they were sitting in front OF the
fire laughing and talking and appear
ing to be having the best time IN the
world. I don't know why, but it made
me think Of the times when you used
to come to see me, Amos"
Husband and wife smiled at each
other, and he said:
You were a beautiful girl. Julia"
"PlI tell you what" Mrs Gilbert
went on, conscious of the compliment
but not DESTROYS of herself making a
comparison. Gloria is a beautiful girl,
and what is more. l can see tina; she
has a beautiful character. I'm so sorry
she has been away so long.
What could I do, ma'am?" asked
Kerr. 81 couldn't take care Of her at
Locust Lawn"
Locust Lawn had been in CiIbert's
mind all the time, and he had aaltad
only to sound his wife before. speak
ing. Her enthusiasm was sucl, as eyi-
denced in what she had just said, that
he thought now was the proper time to
breach the subject.
There's only one thing to do Mr.
Kerr" he said. Gloria mus, cone in
and stay with us. Locust Lawn IS all
right as home for you, bur as II
stands it is no place for young lady
in society; especially, since You want
me to be plain spoken, no place for
young lady who has had sILh advan-
tages as your daughter"
Exactly, exactly" asserted Kerr
He had seen that, and it ha-t been one
of the thorns in his flesh al day.
Mrs. Gilbert was quick to see that
1t was the only thing to be done She
had become as much Interested in
Gloria as had her husband. and now
she added her own invitation to his.
The judge has expressed my own
ideas exactly" she said. MIR. Kerr,
you must let her come te rs. Ne have
fallen in love with her areacy."
Have you, ma'am?" Nern. asked
Then I'm awfulIy glad"

Gilbert directed. and thea W. can ask
her to stay on"
III do nothing of the dad," said
his wife airily, as she started on what
was to her a pleasant errand; III ask
her for the rest of her natural life,
and if she wants TO stay chat long
she's welcome"

Municipal University,

The municipal university is compar
atiyely new in this country, but is moi
rare abroad. The university in Leip.
zig is not a great German university,
but is first and foremost the Univer-
sity Of Leipzig-a municipal institu-
ton.
The city of Hamburg is to follow in
this path, having just completed
plans for city university on a large
scale, while many Of the newer Eng.
lish universities, although national
in their aims and general character.
will endeavor to meet the special
needs of the industrial centers in
which they are located, and to that
extent will be municipal universities.

Fish coIored IN Suit Fanny

Flowers have been artifciaIly col
ored, with more or less success, but
until recently animals have escaped
the experiments Of the Investigators.
Now, however, we are assured that
fishes may be so colored as to suit the
human fancy.
In Sicily, it is reported, by the intro
duction into the water of chalk, iron
and a quantity Of peat, colors may be
impaired to the carp. After treatment
in a bath of these concomitants for a
couple of weeks the fish is given an.
other chemically prepared bath into
which there are introduced iron and
tan. By increasing or diminishing the
quantities the color can be either ac-
centuated or diminished
The process is said to be somewhat
hazardous, but produces ornamental
fish.

not well enough, however, to return
for the ball.
The ball given in honor of Miss
Gloria Kerr at the Belmont club by
Judge and Mrs. Gilbert was a memoir
able affair. The ballroom was crowd
ed, and Gloria deserved the praise she
received from every quarter on her
beauty, her cleverness, and her light
hearted temperament. She did not hear
the expressions of regret that she was
the daughter of David Kerr. The next
morning the Belmont Banner had a
two-column head over the story, and
gave a long list of names preceded by
among those invited WERE" instead
of by the usual among those present
were" There were a number notable
by their absence, but there being a
large crowd present and she being
stranger, Gloria did not know this.
She was too busy with the men 70
think of what girls were present.
Truth to tell, it was a fairly repre-
sentative assemblage, drawn together

for some time in Paris, whence they
will go TO London for a stay of five
years, They are, it is said, more up

Yuan Re Chuan, is a choice copy in
dress of the true Partisan. In fact.
except for a full-face view, no one
would take this slim built, elegant
youth for a Chinese. He wore
smartly tailored suit of light gray
cashmere, in a sober check pattern,
and above his tan shoes, with their
broad bows, were to be seen some
wildly purple socks. A fawn scarf
was round his stand-up collar, and he
wore little silver watch on his wrist.
