Pipe of peace, Ken? Forget what
l said. All in the days work. Have
a drink? That's life, old chap"
The boy snarled That's life? 1t
will be death to you, you curt"
Then he lunged heavily toward his
tormenter. Strong arms interviewed.
In a whirlwind Of events and emo
lions, the boy found himself invested
with his hat and stick and doe skin
gloves and standing on the sidewalk
outside his club. BY his side was a
family friend-a man his fathers age.
80 they put me out" said Ken
DULY. Injected from my club--that's
what 1 was"
"Come-come, my lad. We could
not have a fight in the club. Think OF
the scandal"
Scandal My God It isn't true
my father wouldn't" the boy
cholsed in helpless pain and rage.
Come and have drink, Ken"
answered the family friend.
Might as well. 1t will help me
drown-that lie." said the boy with
horrible growing fear that the lie"
was true
The older man smiled bit sadly.
They found another club and had a
drink. one drink-two, three, four.
another The boy lost count
Got to go home to the wife and
Riddles. You may as we'll go home,
too. Feel better now-eh, Ken?" said
the family friend.
He was firm in his cups--from long
habit. His voice was quite steady.
"Home?' said the boy, not quite so
steadily Home? Oh, the house on
Seventy-third street. I'll go there
later Gotta couple o. things to see
to first"
You're looking at things more
sanely now. That's life. my boy.
There's a skeleton in every closet
and that fool Ramsay opened the door
of yours a bit wide. Bones aren't a
pretty sight. But forget ii, Ken" said
the man who called himself a family
friend"
Forget it, Kenneth Nelson spent
"a hours trying to forget. But alcohol
is a grim preservative, and the white
boned skeleton in his family cupboard
grinned and gibbered by his side
through all those "a hours
At last bodily exhaustion triumphed
over mental horror-and Kenneth Mel
son dragged his weary body back to
the house on Seventy third street"
There was no one to welcome this
sad young prodigal as with lurching
step he staggered across the foyer
hall to the great travesty called the
living room"
The Secretary.
The room lay in dark shadow The
boy stood swaying in the doorway.
His clothes were in wild disarray, and
on his face was the wilder light of a
disordered mind.
Darkness! then a click and light
flooded the room. Mary BurS, Mrs.
Nelson's pretty, brown haired social
secretary, turned with her hand still
on the tiny switch that knew how to
tighten darkness.

~ NE spelled a message in the sapphire sky
Alive with stars-the other hurried by,
Not careless of the spendthrift gifts of God,
But hers it was the meaner path to trod
One cherished high ideals, and dreamed away
The pulsng hours of living day,
The other, tired of eye and hard Of hand
Worked out life that she could understand
One lived for arts sake, sheltered and alone
Remote and frendess on a gilded throne;
The other toed yet counted more worth while
mans rough kisses and a baby's smilo.

BEST WAY TO CLEAN CHIFFON
Should Be Washed in Soap Lather BY
Carefully Rolling and Pressing
Between Hands,

Chiffon should be washed In soar
lather by carefully rolling and press.
Ing between the hands, then rinsed In
clean water and stiifened In gum wa.
ter, the same proportion as for lace,
namely, one tablespoonful to q quarter
Of pint of water.
Roll in clean cloth to absorb some
OF the moisture, but it must not be too
dry when it Is ironed.
To iron chiffon it must be placed on
the table wrong side up and ironed
along the seiyedge, as ironing across
would displace the fibers and destroy
the appearance of the delicate fabric.
When the chiffon is being ironed it
ought to be held tightly up in front Of
the iron to remove the crinkles that
are produced by washing and to make
1t quite even andaemooth.
Chiffon ties with natural crepon
crinkle should hot be ironed, but in.
stead the ends should be pinned out
on table. the tie just stretched
enough to permit of the crinkles fall
ing into their natural shape.
When dry, fold it without pressing
the folds In, air and put carefully
away.

etc., are reserved for the summer
trade, but there are some charmins
parasols Of the elaborate summer
type, and so pretty are they that II
seems unlikely that the later season
will reveal anything more desirable.
The nowercd silks win general ad
miration, and the designers have &C
complishcd excellent effects with
these silken fabrics, woven especially
for parasol purposes and exquisite
both in color and in design.
One line of these parasols has q
wide border Of plain color. Above
this is q solid mass Of flowers and
foliage. The border b of delicate
blue. The roses and foliage, some
what blurred and toward their out
lines, melt into vagueness.
Another type Of the floral decorat
cd parasol also has a plain border, the
rose decorations being shown in fes
toon design around the upper part o,
che parasoI Sometimes the plain
border is separated from the floral
decorations by shadow lines of black
or applied braid designs in white
soutache, as shown in another para.
sol illustrated on this page. The
parasol Is of white taffeta, trimmed
at the lower part by applied white
silk soutache, and above the braid
design is a festoon of large delicate
pink roses.
One Of the New York shops Is show
ingy parasols made up Of Lowell
hounced cotton stuffs, to be worn en-
suite with trim little morning OF
beach frocks Of the same material.
The parasol and costume are Of fig
ured cotton wolfe. The parasol has
deep border Of floral design and
shadow lines of indistinct coloring on
white ground. The rest Of the cover
has scattered flowers, harmonizing
with the flowers of the border, but dis.
trbuted in little clusters over the
white wolfe with the scatteredhounce
design, but without the floral border.
In the plain, one-tone silks there
are parasols of various qualities, but
to be really smart q parasol Of this
type needs to be of fairly heavy silk
and the cheaper models are at their
best In the striped or figured silk.

How to Get a Job.
NATHANIEL C.FOWIR R. IL

The fellow with a job can get
on to a better Job ten times more
quickly than can the fellow out of
a job.
Just remember that the job won't
go cunning for you. You must gun
for it, and you must aim straight
to hit il.
Scattering shot is all right for
bringing down tissue paper birds;
but. when you want to hit anything
worth while, you must use rifle bull
lets, and you must take careful aim,
and you must have your gun ready,
SO that when you come in sight OF
the game all you have to do is to
aim and FIRE at 1t. For, If you
have to load. very likely it will pass
out of sight before you are ready
to fire.
Go after the JOB, for the job
won't come to you. Go at it with
both feet and with both hands
stretched out toward it. Don't ask
1t to come to you, for it won't.
The fellow who doesn't know how
to get job is not worth much on
any job.
If you don't know how to get a
job, learn how, because. unless you
do know how, the chances are that
you are unfit to handle any job. It
is just as important to learn how
to get job as it is to know how to
keep a job; perhaps more so, be-
cause YOU certainly cannot keep a
job until you get it.
Don't walk after a job; run
after it.

SUPREME COURT HEAD
FAILS TO STOP FIGHT
Chief Justice White Attempts to Sep
arate Kewsboy combatants, but
Gives Up Bafled.

Chief Justice White, of the United
States Supreme Court. met his Waterloo
yesterday at Fourteenth Street and Penn
syivania Avenue Northwest. when he at.
tempted by arguments to check a fis.iC
battle between two newsboys.
Justice White at first silently enjoyed
the fray, but the scrap got too hot and
he interfered. Better stop, boys" he
cautioned. You will get arrested
Still the two boys fought on, and the
Chief Justice turned over in his mind
injunctions, mandamuses, quo warranto
and other legal checks that might be
effective. Finally he recalled that boys
will be boys, and turned away, leaving
them to fight IL out.
The appearance OF a policeman made
the boys quickly part and seek the near.
est places OF hiding.
