cd the course Of my life. l was paying
attention to a young lady and doubt
less would have married her had l not
made q call in one Of those gigantic
structures where perhaps fifty families
were housed. Not only was my future
changed. but the whole curse Of sew
eral other persons was changed as we'll.
I sent up my card to the ladies of
the Swift family, all old friends Of
mine. and a told to 90 up. The
elevator landed me on the seventh
floor, and l was directed to No. ZAP. I
| pushed the bell button, vas admitted

room to await the coming of such
member of the family as should come
In to receive me.

"Mrs. Morgan wrote me that you
had been obliged to sail earlier than
you had expected and the matter be-

consent to follow you to your station
and be married there"
Good gracious! Follow me to my

give me more information before cor

"H'm-er-1'm not going to sail'-
"Not going to sail! Your orders

I sank upon the sofa, and after some
hesitation she sat down beside me.
"There are features about this-this

Success Ia Washing Channels.

The secret is in not having the water
too hot or letting it get cold. Make a
soap Jelly by slicing white soap in
water and boiling it. Put enough of
this into warm water to make q good
suds and wash the article in it. If the
garment is quite soiled repeat as often
as necessary: then rinse in water of
the same temperature made quite
soapy with the jelly. Squeeze. but do
not wiring the garment. and hang to
dry in n warn place. Keep squeezing
the water out and patting between the
hands to soften the skin while it Is
drying.

TEACHING DOG TO JUMP.

Jumping is the easiest thing to teach
your dog. First put him in a corner
and hold q cane before him so that ho
cannot get out without leaping over it.
You must not hold it very high or he
will crawl under it. Make him hold
his head up, however, and you will
prevent that. Keep at it until he un.
derstands what you want and he viii!
jump without hesitation. After the
trick has been learned in the corner it
may be tried out In the room.
Later on you may get him to jung
through a hoop and still later through
a hoop covered with tissue paper, max
ing him break through the paper Is he
jumps This will require a good deai
Of patience. but it may be done and Is
so odd that you ought to try It.
