Old Measurement. Of Time.

Sand glasses for measuring time
were made as soon as the art Of
blowing glass had been perfected by
the people OF Byzantium. These
glasses were used for all sorts OF
purposes. for cooking and for making
speeches, but their most important
use was at sea In order that ones
position at sea might be figured. Il
was important in those early days to
know the vessels speed. The earliest
method was to throw over a heavy
piece Of wood Of a shape that resisted
being dragged through the sea. and
with a string tied to It. The string
had knots In II and the block OF wood
was called a log. The knots were 90
arranged that when one Of them ran
through ones fingers In a half minute
measured by q sand glass II indicated
that the vessel was going at the sposd
Of one nautical mile In IN hour.

DANISH FEAR or BADNESS
Hair Drill, According to the Scalp
Specialists, VIII Keep the Nat
ural Locks Luxurlant.

The hair drill is the latest and best
cure for badness. If certain scalp
specialists are to be believed, the
hair drill is going to Danish badness
altogether. A great advantage of
hair drill is that it Is gratis. Try 1t
now.
Badness is due to bad soil. The
hair gets no nourishment. Hence 1t
falls out But the hair drill will stop
all that
The hair drill is, briefly, scalp ex-
ercise. With practise 1t Is possible
to move the scalp back and forth, to
aud fro, almost round and round.
That sounds incredible. but it isn't.
The first and easiest hair drill ex-
ercise Is to lift the brcws and fore.
head as high as possible, then to low.
er them as low as possible BY prac,
tise. with this exercise. the scalp, too.
may be moved up and down.
A word to the wise is sufficient.
The man who has mastered the first
exercise Of the hair drill can easily
think out and master many others.
Soon he will be moving his scalp
round and round-almost. Hair drill
nourishes the scalp. 1t builds up
muscles in it. 1t gives the hair a
thick, strong, rich soil It's results,
the scalp specialists say. are marve-
lous.

NOW THE TIME TO REN0vATE
Garments That Have Almost Been
Given Up Frequently Can Be
Refurbished lnexpensiveIy.

AS the housewife naturally turns to
renovating her house in the spring
time, SO the young girl turns to reno
waiting her wardrobe. A little touch
Of something here and there will do
wonders in making an old dress look
new and stylish. The suspender
tunic, worn over plain shirt waist
and skirt, will make the costume ap-
pear like one-piece dress, now so
popular.
Cut strip about three inches wide
from the bottom of piece Of taffeta
about one and half yards long; the
remaining material should then be
wide enough to come just to tho
Ghighs. Shir the wide taffeta along
the top edge and draw In enough to
st the waist line, fastening securely
at the end Insert the shirred edge
between !, Derrow band of the same
material and stitch fatty so Els to
form a neat belt. Sew up the back a
little way, leaving placket large
enough to get into easily. With the
strip cut from the bottom make two
suspenders long enough to go over
the shoulders and cross in front and
back. This is done by folding back
the two raw edges of each strip and
sewing them down together with a
fat seam. The suspenders are firmly
tackled to the front and back of the
tunic belt and slipped on over the
arms. The bottom of the tunic may
be finished by neat hem or cut In
long alternate points and bound with
4 narrow piece of taffeta ribbon.

STOCKINGS MUST BE DAINTY
Broeaded, and OF the Finest Silk, They
Are Designed to Match the
Street Suit.

Brocaded stockings Of the filmiest,
finest silk In all the fashionable colors
approved for this season are displayed
among the novelties IN footgear. To
match the street suits of gabardine or
pophn there are blues and dull green's,
browns end grsys in all the newest,
5oftest tones.
For evening wear the brocaded
stocking is tinted delicately in all the
sweet pea shades, the mauves and law
enders, the pale pink and the peach
color that are in such high favor with
young and old.
These colors are exploited as well
in these stockings s.s with taffetas
or other plain silks. The fancy stock
ing is considered a necessity at this
time, especially when variety provides
piquancy. The brocaded stocking Is
modish in the extreme, and is espe-
, cially attractive when worn with cos
tunes which emphasize the new lifted
skirt styles-with sheer lace or ehif-
fon overskirts OF transparent beauty
and through the meshes of which
dainty glimpses of lovely hosiery are
but half revealed.

For the benefit of the nervous cases

asserted by Scripture that 1t Isl just as
necessary to know how emotional they
are as it is to know how high the
temperature is in a case of fever.
Moreover, in many cases it Is neces-
sary to find out what experiences in
the past or present life Of the patient
produce emotions. For this purpose
the patient sits at ease with hands on

CHAPTER vi.
Mad Anthony.

Beyond the selvage of the sleepy
leaf-sheltered village a cherry Dor
-dered lane met the Red Road. On it's
one side was clovered pasture and
beyond this an orchard. bounded by
tall hedge of close-clipped box which
separated 1t from broad yard where
the gray-weathered roof of Rosewood
showed above group OF tulip and
catalpa trees. On the sunny steps a
lop-eared puppy was playing with a
notified cat
The front door was open, showing
hall where stood a grandfather's clock
and a spindlelegged table holding a
bowl of potpourri. The timepiece had
landed from a sailing vessel at James
town wharf with the household goods
of that English Garland who had
adopted the old Middle Plantation
when Dunmore was royal governor un-
der George III. Framed portraits and
engravings lent tints of furnished sill
yer, old-rose and sunset-golds-co
time-toned and reminiscent, carrying a
charming sense of peaceful content. of
gentleness and long tradition. The
dark polished stairway had at its turn
a square dormer-window which looked
out upon one Of the rose-arbors.
Down this stair. somewhat later that
afternoon, came Shirley cambridge,
booted and spurred, the rebellious
whorls of her russell hair now as close
" flleted as Greek boys. in short
divided skirt of yew-green and cool
white blouse and swinging by its rib
bon a green hat whose rolling brim
was caught up at one side by crisp
blue blaek hawks feather. She stopped
to peer put of the dormer-window to
where, onder the latticed weave OF
bloom beside round iron table hold
ing hoop of embroidery and book
or two lady sat reading.
The lady's hair was silver, but not
with age. It had been so for many
years, refuted by the transparent skin
and a color as soft as the cheek or an
apricot. It was solely In her dark
eyes, deep and strangely luminous
that one might see lurking the som
Der spirit of passion and OF pain. But
they were eager and brilliant withal
giving the lie to the cane whose crook
one pale delicate hand held with s
clasp that somehow conveyed a sense
OF exasperate If semthumorous re
bellion.

smiled brightly. ION for your ride
