these new acquaintanees she would
urge them TO Join her. Loyal though
she was, she would welcome any one
who would be diversion. Gloria
was quick to notice a faux pas. and
certain of her fathers slips of gram

AT the door she was met by Judge
Gilbert, who welcomed her TO Belmont
with great cordially. Here was a
man who understood the niceties of
life. Gloria's heart went out to him
almost SIS much for the manner of his
welcome as for its genuine warmth.

Economy Ii the Household.

New inventions of positive merit
tend to raise the task OF housekeeping
from drudgery to delightfully."- inter
esting occupation. Take, for instance,
pan invented for cleaning silver.
it saves most OF the labor and removes
the tarnish without the usual rubbing
away of silver. In this way the plat
ing is preserved almost Indefinitely
The work is accomplished in small
fraction of the time usually devoted
to the cleaning of silver, and the re-
suit is much more satisfactory. both
in point of appearance of the silver
and for the reason that the silver is
strictly sanitary.

At that moment Mrs. Gilbert re-
turned with the guests who for some
little time had been entertaining
themselves in the drawing-room.
Mrs. Hayes and her husband were
first introduced TO Gloria. While they
exchanged few pleasantries, Wright.

ing David Kerr. 1t was not until Mrs.
Gilbert called him to her to present
him to Miss Kerr that the editor OF
the Belmont News and the daughter
OF David Kerr came face to face.
To the surprise of the others pres
ent Gloria gave a little scream OF de-
| light and came forward with both
hands outstretched to greet the young
man. He no less gave evidence of his
pleasure at the meeting His face
lighted up with smile and the way
he grasped both her hands betekened
his happiness at seeing her again. If
the others could not share their graft
fication, they could at least share
their surprise.

claimed Gloria, shaking his hands
heartily, her face radiant with smiles.

hooked, it can be slipped from Cn-
der this strip and removed
Make the stairs leading to the
nests out of a strip 3 inches wide,
tack cross-pieces to it about IL
inches apart, and fasten it to strip A
and to the floor, in the center of the
cage.
Strips A and B, together with the
platforms in front of the nest boxes,
which your rats will make good use
of, especially the frisky young ones
who love to chase one another about
as well as any children do
Ordinary screen wire cloth is the
most satisfactory covering for the
front of the cage, and the best meth
cd of putting this on is by making
wooden frame out of strips 3
inches wide, with the corners inter
ed and nailed together Gig. 81, and
lacking the wire to the inside face Of
this. The frame can be nailed or
screwed to the cage Gig. -. This is
better method than that of lacking
the wire over the edges of the box,
as the wire can be stretched tighter
and looks neater, and, what Is more
important, it prevents the wire from
bullying out between the tacas and
gnaw away the edge of the box at
those points until the space is big
enough to escape through
The top of the cage should project
about u inch over the ends and 2
inches over the front First nail a
hinge-strip across the top at the
back, then batten together the remain
ing boards, and hinge them to this
strip Gig. 81. BY driving staple
into the under side of the cover and
another into the screen frame, so the
two will come together side by side
when the top is closed Gig. 81, the
cage may be padlocked.
Whitewash the inside of the cage
and cover the floors with a thick
layer of sawdust. You can get saw
dust from your grocer Clean out the
cage twice a week, and replace the
old sawdust with fresh, to keep condi-
lions sanitary. Place hay in the
breeding compartments for the nests.
Use a shallow bowl or saucer for a
drinking water receptacle.

George w Cable. the novelist, used

colored girl named Katie. She was
somewhat hard of hearing and often
when he would tell her something she
would say 'Huh?"
He tired of Katie's grunting this
way, so at last he said: Katie, when

don't understand, never say 'Huh?' to
me. Say Beg pardon That's ever

About a week later he found her

ECZEMA BURNED AND iTCHED

The eczema began with pimples which

Blessing of a Good Name.

One of the purest and most endur-
ing of human pleasures is to be found
in the possession of a good name
among ones neighbors and acquaint-
anceS.
This is not fame, or even distinc-
tion it is local reputation among the
few scores or hundreds of persons
who really know one. 1t is satisfac-
ton quite of this world, and one OBJ
tanned by large number of quiet men
and women whose names are never
mentioned beyond the limits of their
respective sets of acquaintance. Such
reputation regards not mental power
or manual skill. but character; it is
slowly built upon purity, integrity,
courage and sincerity. To possess it
is a browning satisfaction which is
oftenest experienced to the full rath-
er late in life, when some other pleas
ure begin to fade away.-"The Dur
able Satisfactions Of Life" Charles w
