Is there room enough for three big

This query is tough one. for it is a

well, my only play is to get ac-
quainted with the schoolteacher," de-
cided Hawkins, watch her and try to
find out where the heiress has gone"
Pursuant to this plan Hawkins
strolled down towards the little red
schoolhouse the following day. About
two miles progressed, he was merged
into an incident of unusual excite
ment. A buggy came tearing down
the road. The driver. a man, was
thrown out as the animal attached
to it swung around a sharp curve in
the highway. The other occupant,
young lady, shrank back in the seat,
terrified and helpless. ~
Hawkins did his duty. At some risk
he halted the runaway. OF course he
was thanked, and of course this led to
just what he hoped "a close aequafnt-
ance with the grateful, attractive
school .marm."
In the course of few days the cub
reporter made momentous discov-
cry. He was in love. Every evening
he was with his charming new &C
quaintance and her eyes frightened
at his coming. Love seemed to dapnt
his journalistic ardor. He cared little
now whether he ever discovered the
missing heiress or not. His manliness,
however, made him vince when he
analysed his former motives in trac-
ing down Miss Douglas. Hawkins
looked pretty serious one evening as
he said to her:
miss Douglas, have a confession
to make. 1 have learned. to love you.

a big scoop to run down the vanished
heiress.
"An right, I'll try you once more"
he said finally. Draw two weeks ex-
pense money and don't ever show
your face around here again unless
you bring in results"
Hawkins stalked proudly past his
jeering journalistic associates. His
face was bright, his heart hopeful.
The letter he had discovered was
from a Miss Mary Douglas, Ferndale.
Hawkins bought a ticket for that OBJ
scure town. 1t was to meet with a
decided disappointment at the end of
his journey.
Miss Douglas, he was advised, had
received a call to another school, 200
miles away. She had departed thither
armed with fine recommendation
from the district school trustees ex-
actly week previous. The name of
her new post of duty was Fairville.
Hawkins picked up a piece Of add
tional information that spurred him
on magically. A young lady, stran-
ger, had visited the schoolteacher at
Ferndale the day she left for her new
school charge. In fact they had gone
away together.

One remarkably attractive parasol

Many of the new parasols are GER
tainly lovely. Those most practical
are of course the plain one-tone eff

and Of these there is ample supply in
all the fashionable colorings.
Taffeta is much in evidence among
parasols, as 1t is everywhere, change
able taftetas, plain or shirred, being
used for the cover, pinked frills, ruches
or cordings and puffings forming the
trimming. One taffeta parasol was
trimmed with three larger puffs. SAn-
other was entirely covered in mar
row ruffles. In line with some of the
quaint taffeta sunshades are the frilled
effects in ARREST materials.
A parasol may have foundation of

FOODS FOR HOT WEATHER
Matter That Is Worthy Of the Most
Careful Attention That Can Be
Given 1t.

Much of the irritability of the human
race is caused by overindulgence in
unbalanced meals composed of badly
cooked foods.
The modern. thrifty housewife plans
her meals so as to secure the best diet
for her family. During the hot months
heat-producing foods-fats, sugar.
starches, heavy puddings and pies
and fried things should not be eaten,
but rather those which are easily di-
gested and cooling to the blood.
The business In which the bread
winner of the family is engaged must
be considered when planning the
meals. The man or woman leading
sedentary life requires foods easy
of digestion and assimilation. This
class Of people does not require as
Esuch food as that engaged in muscu-
lar labor The latter class needs heav-
Ter meals, but these should be less bur-
densome than In winter
For both classes too much cannot
be said about masticating ones food.
The teeth were made for this purpose
and many ills would disappear if food
was not bolted into the stomach, which
is too often overtaxed
Salads rich with mayonnaise or
boiled dressing should never appear
at dinner, but be served for luncheon
or supper. Green or fresh vegetable
salads with a simple oil and vinegar
dressing are the proper thing for din
ner at all seasons. Potatoes can be
eliminated from the menu some days
and in their place substitute macaroni,
rice, hominy, beans, peas and other
starchy vegetables Woman's World.

EMBROIDERY A REAL ART
Practically Only Workers Of the East
Give to It the Required Care
and Attention.

1t is said that embroidery is the
mother of all needlecraft. Some en-
thusiasts claim that 1t is as great an
art as painting or sculpture. There is
much In early history that has been
handed down to US In embroideries,
which have depicted upon them GER
tain events embracing historical per-
sons of olden times. When embroidery
was more or less young, the embroid-
erer was his own designer AS many
men we're interested some of the en-
broiderers including both men and
women, frequently devoted their entire
lives to the work which authorities
have agreed In calling one of the finest
of arts.
Now, however, in this rapidly twirl-
ing time, embroidery has degenerated
into nothing more than a pastime, and
rarely is there an embroiderer who
works lovingly and with thought of
posterity, except, perhaps, over ba-
bys layette. But for really artistic
embroidery, which is made with the
idea of its lasting more than one gen.
