Too Frequent Losses Of Temper Re
suit In Much Misery Which Might
Easily Be Avoided.

Possessing apparently all the essen
tials that make for comfort, ease. and
happiness, more than a few homes
fail to give this expected result, and
someone has asked: What is gener-
ally the cause of this?
To put 1T very plainly. unnecessary
exhibitions of temper more quickly
than anything else mar the harmony
of home. There may not be open
strife, but temper. as little riffs with
in the Lutte, give out incessant dis
cords. Brothers and sisters, each,
perhaps, with an unconscious craving
to manage or suppress the other. may
never have been taught to realize the
powerful influence of tact, and their
little comments and chickering's will
quickly rouse disputes that may
make the unlocking parents heartsick.

Queer lronlnu,

A writer in the Wide World maya
zine says that the most curious sight
he saw at Cairo was men ironing
clothes with their feet! The men
were employed in the native tailoring
establishments.
Except for the long handle. the
irons were shaped like the ordinary
fiat-iron. only larger. A solid block
of wood rested on the top of the iron,
and on this the men placed one foot,
guiding the iron in the desired direc-
tion by means Of the handle. For the
sake of convenience. ironing boards
were raised only a few inches from
the ground. and, however strange the
method may seem to us, the work
was done very well and very expedi-
tiously

FLOWERS in THE HOUSEHOLD
Snapshot of Quiet Domestic Scene
When Rivals Fought for the
Control of Mexico.

To make flowers last week or
more, four things are necessary. First,
do not try to arrange them the mo-
ment you get them, but put them in a
pail of water for a few hours, SO that
every stem will be under water up to
the flower. Second, cleanse the vase
thoroughly before putting in the flow
ers and change the water every day.
Third, the cooler you keep the flowers
the longer they will last. If you are
too busy in the morning to enjoy them
or have to go out for the afternoon. %
not leave them in the living room, fcs<
they are not used to such tempera-
ture. Every night put the vase in a
cool place. or better still, plunge the
stems up to the flowers in pail Of
water Fourth. cut about quarter OF
an inch off each stem in the morning.
1t is more trouble to do this under
water. but 1t pays. II you cut the
stems in the ordinary way air bubbles
get into the stems and impede the TAX
ing in of water.-Delineator.

Making the Home Unhappy

wishes have not been carried out,
that on them fall annoyance and
duties which they feel should belong
to others, that difficulties seem ever
in their path. and SO on, will perhaps
voice their displeasure and strike a
responsive note of irritation in the
rest, and quickly the whole atmos-
phere is charged with the poison of
bitterness and resentment
A little more care in restraining
temper. especially about the trivial
tiles and nonessentials of happy exist
ence. and the peace that should reign
in home, whatever its material set
ting, would more often be left undis-
turbed. Exhibitions of temper in
children, no matter what the cause,
should always be taken as a fault to
be eradicated. This does not crush
the spirit of Indignation at wrong, or
weaken the fighting instinct, but it
does aid in averting hasty Judgments.

CHAPTER xy.-contlnued.

THAT is true. Lizzie; 1t was irreg-
ular, and certainly very inconvenient.
And It is serious enough, SO far as
breaking my engagements Is con-
cerned. But the circumstances were
very unusual and-pressing. Some
one else gave the message at the ho-
tel, and, as you know, ! had no time
even to get satchel."
That's what I said when the re-
porters came-that you were 30 wor-
ried over your sick relative that you
did not wait for anything"
Agatha groaned. "Did-did the pa
pers have much to say about my
leaving town."
"They had columns. Miss Redmond.
and some of them had your picture on
the front page with an announcement
of your elopement. But Mr.. Straker
contradicted that; he told them he
had heard from you. and that you
were at the bedside of dying rela-
tive. Besides that, Miss Redmond. the
difficulty in getting up an elopement
story was the lack OF a probable man.
Your manager and your accompanist
were both found and interviewed, and
there wasn't anybody else in New
York except me who knew you Your
discretion, Miss Redmond, has always
been remarkable"
Agatha was suddenly tired of Lizzie.
Very well, Lizzie, that will do. You
may go and get your own things un-
packed We shan't return to New
York for several days yet"
You've heard from Mr.. Straker. OF
course, Miss Redmond?"
mo. but have written to him, ex-
planning everything. Why?"
"Oh, nothing; only when l sent him
word that l had heard from you. he
said at first that he was coming here
with me. Some business prevented
him, but he must have telegraphed."
Maybe he has; but it takes some
time, evidently. for a hidden person
to be discovered in Ilion."
AS soon as the words were on her
lips. Agatha realized that she had
made a slip. One has to look sharp
when talking to a sophisticated maid
But were you hiding, Miss Red
mond?" Lizzie artlessly inquired
"Oh, no. Lizzie; don't be silly. The
telegram probably went wrong: tele-
grams often do"
mot when Mr.. Straker sends them,
proffered Lizzie. But II his kilograms
have gone wrong. you may count on
his coming down here himself He is
much worried over the rehearsals
which begin early In the month, he
said. And he got the full directions
you sent me for coming here; he
would have them"
Agatha knew her managers peril
nacity when once on the track of an
object Moreover, the humor of the
situation passed from her mind, leav
ing only a vivid impression of the
trouble and worry which we're sure to
follow such serious breaking UP OF
well established plans. She was rare
ly capricious, even under vexation
but she yielded to a caprice at this
moment, and one, moreover. that was
very unjust toward her much-tried
manager. The thought of that man
bursting In upon her in the home that
had been the fastidious Hercules
Thayers, in the midst of her anxiety
and sorrow over James Hambleton
was intoierable.
IF Mr.. Straker should by any
chance follow me here. you must tel
him that zan not see him." she said
