COLLEGE Girls,

First of all the girl who goes to col.
lege must remember that the initial
impression that she makes determines
very largely her happiness or unhappi-
ness for the first few weeks. Above
all things. she should not arrive in an
elaborately trimmed suit. a beplumed
hat and pumps. Such things may be
suitable for rare occasions at home,
but they find practically no place In
the outdoor wardrobe of the we'll
bred college woman. The plain tail.
ored suit cut on good lines, a tailored
hat to match and neat shoes create an
impression of quiet good taste and ap-
propriateness. This keynote of sim.
plicity should be recognized through
out her wardrobe. Elaborate chiffon
or net waists and fussy neckwear are
OF little use. for college girls room
was never designed for clothes which
require careful treatment and pro-
lection from dust.-Leslie's.

twenty-four hours. are critical"
Agatha listened intently, and a
growing resolution shone in her eyes.
Would Mrs. Stoddard come. If 1t
were not for what you said-about
me?" she asked.
The Lord only knows, but think
she would" replied the poor. har-
assed doctor. She's always been a

"Dorcas!" cried Agatha. her anger

"Oh. now. Susan isn't SO bad. when

without a word descended the wide
stairway. opened the dining-room
door, and called softly to Sallie Kings

Doctor Thayer returned to the sick
room. Ten minutes later he heard the
wheels Of Little Simon's buggy rolling
rapidly up the road In the direction
of Susan Stoddard's place

CHAPTER xiv.
Susan stoddard's Prayer.

Susan Stoddard's Prayer.
There was a wide porch, spotlessly
scrubbed, along the front of the
house. and two hydrangeas blooming
gorgeously In tubs. one on either side
of the walk The house looked new
and modern. shiny with paint and fur
nished with all the conveniences Of
fered by the relentless progress of our
day.
Little Simon had informed Agatha,
during their short drive. that Deacon
Stoddard had achieved this resi-
dence" shortly before his death; and
his tone implied that 1t was the pride
of the town. its real treasure. Even
to Agatha's absorbed and preoccupied
mind 1t presented a striking contrast
to the old red house, which had re-
ceived her SO graciously into its spa
cious comfort. She marveled that
anything 80 fresh and modish as the
house before her could have come into
being in the old town. 1t was next
10 a certainty that there was a model
laundry with set tubs beyond the
kitchen, and equally sure that no old
horsehair lounge subtly invited the
wearied traveller to rest.
A cool draft came through the
screen door. Within, 1t was cleaner
than anything Agatha had ever seen.
The stair-rail glistened. the polished
floors shone. A neat bouquet of sweet
peas stood exactly in the center OF a
snow-white dolly. which was exactly
in the middle of shiny. round table.
The very door-mat was brand new;
Agatha would never have thought OF
wiping her shoes on it.
Agatha's ring was answered by a
half-grown girl. who looked scared
when she saw a stranger at the door.
Agatha walked into the parlor. In
spite of the girls hesitation in inviting
her, and directed her to say to Mrs.
Stoddard that Miss Redmond, from the

CHAPTER xIII.-continued.

II can't go in-I can't bear to see
him SO ILL.," she whispered; and as
Aleck looked at her before entering
the sick-room. he saw that her eyes
were filled with tears.
Agatha went back to her couch. feel
ing that the heavens had opened. Here
was a friend come to her from she
knew not where, whose right It was
to assume responsibility for the sick
man. He was kind and good, and he
loved her rescuer with the boyish
devotion of their schooldays. He
would surely help; he would work
with her to keep death away. What
ever love and professional skill could
do. should be done; there had been no
question as to that. OF course, from
the beginning. But here was some
one who would double. yes. more
than double her own efforts; some
one who was strong and well and
capable. Her heart was thankful.
Before Aleck returned from the
sick-room. Doctor Thayer's step sound
ed on the stairs. followed by the
mildly complaining voice of Sallie
Kingsbury. Presently the two men
were in a low-voiced conference in
the hall. Agatha waited while they
talked. feeling grateful afresh that
Doctor Thayer's grim professional
wisdom was to be reinforced by Mr..
Van Camps resources. When the
doctor entered Agatha's room, her face
had almost the natural flush of health.
"Ah. Miss Agatha Redmond"-the
doctor continued frequently to ad-
dress her by her full name, half In
affectionate Difference and half with
some dry sense of humor peculiar to
himself-"Miss Agatha Redmond, SO
you're beginning to pick up! A good
thing. too; for l don't want two pa
tients in one house like the one out
yonder. He's a very sick man, Miss
Agatha"
Il know. doctor have seen him

we came. What can be done?"
He needs special nursing now, and
your man in there will be worn out
presently"
"Oh. that can be managed. Send
to Portland. to Boston, or somewhere.
We can get a nurse here soon. Do
not spare any trouble. doctor. can
arrange"
Doctor Thayer squared himself and
passed slowly up and down Asatha's
room. He did not reply at once, and
when he did, It was with one of his
characteristic turns toward an ap-
parently irrelevant topic.
Have you seen Sister Susan?- he
inquired. stopping by the side of
Agatha's couch and looking down on
her with his shrewd gaze. 1t was a
needless question. for he knew that
Agatha had not seen Mrs. Stoddard.
She had been too weak and i'll to see
anybody. Agatha shook her head.
We'll. Miss Agatha Redmond,
Susan's the nurse we need for that
young gentleman over there. It's con.
slant care he must have now, day and
night; and II he gets we'll, It will be
good nursing that does 1t. There isn't

and day, as he has been doing. And
he isn't a woman. Don't know why
1t is, but the Lord seems bent on
throwing sick men into women's
hands-as II they weren't more than
a match for us when we're welll"
Agatha's humorous smile rewarded
the doctors grim comments. II that |
