yellow In Indian silk gauze striped
with threads OF silver. The brocade
was lined with pink taffeta several
shades lighter than the outside and
the thin curtains hung soft and quite
full against the window glass. A glo-
rious ming" rug on the floor showed
dragons OF strong blue and light green
on a groundwork Of yellow, which
changed in certain lights TO cameo
pink.
The Chinese embroidery which had
suggested the color scheme. thrown
over a gold divan, gave an excuse for
a huddle OF gold and silver embroid-
cred cushions In pink, turquoise blus
and green. A few pieces of gold fur
niture were upholstered In coral col

The girl who is not accustomed To
outdoor life and who wakes up in the
night with stinging sensation-in the
face and arms is likely TO seek relief
In cold water. II she only realized
that she had an incipient case of sun-
burn she would fee from the water
basin and use remedy that will not
Increase her suffering, as water does.
A mild solution OF witch hazel ap-
piled TO the affected parts will give
temporary relief. In the morning
bath the face, arms and neck with wa
ter as hot as can be borne, repeating
the applications for ten or fifteen min
utes. Then pat the face with old lin

lowing formula: Oil OF sweet al
monds,. four ounces; fresh cucumber
Juice, ten ounces; Essence Of cucum-
bers, three ounces: white CASTLE soap
(powdered), one-half ounce; tincture
Of benzoin, two-thirds of dram.
Many girls are annoyed by the
heaviness and sourness of their hair
in midsummer when II is apt to emit
somewhat unpleasant odor. For this,
OF course, the one cure is cleanliness.
The hair must be shampooed, rinsed
thoroughly, then dried and ,entilated
in the sunlight. Never braid the hair

next to the scalp. This is the most
common cause for the sour odor.

pounds Of a cure and her first aid Is
yelling the skin. The woman with
tendency to freckle should never go
bare headed or bare handed, because
the more sensitive her skin, the more
deeply VIII the freckles be rooted. For
driving, motoring and long walks, she
should add to the broad shade hat a
veil, brown or red preferred. The new
geranium or cerise colored wells
break the rays OF light admirably and
are most useful for this purpose
To keep light freckles IN subiec-

tons, all within reach Of the summer
girl. One Of these is fresh buttermilk.
which should be used night and morn
ing and allowed to dry on. The best
method Of applying II is to dip an old
piece OF linen into a bowl of milk and
then pat the face with Il gently. This
is equally good remedy for tan and
sunburn. Another homemade lotion
consists Of a teaspoOnful Of horse
radish, grated and mixed with a cup
Of sour milk. Let the mixture stand
for six hours and apply two or three
times daily. When freckles are deem
set, a more vigorous treatment must
be used. Every night before retiring
battle the face in water as hot as II
can be borne. then apply a pomade as
follows:
Oxide Of zinc, ten grams: talcum.
ten grams; powdered soap. sixty

ninety-two grams; glycerin, ten grams.

may have been right, after all.
3Yes," went on Warfield, 3where, in my estimation,
Jefferson erred in bemoanng the actors lot; for
the law of recompense works out to the full with the
actor. When Rembrandt painted The Night Watch ;
he was abused for it nightly. Later he poor

after his death few hundred thousands of dollars
paid for the famous painting that he left to postery
couple of those thousands would have helped Rem

tory teens with similar examples.
@Now the actor may not leave to posterity much
more than memory; but he gets his financial reward
and his applause in his lifetime. They come to him
while he can enjoy them. 1t is the old law of

@So you see poor, dear Jefferson really made two
mistakes in his famous talk on the actors art!"
AGAIN he chuckled. 1t good fun for him
to disagree with things in general; from what
people thought Shakespeare thought to Joe Jefferson
misplaced sympathy for those in his profession

actress had chance to the belief of the British

Gus little smile is vent sufficient for his humor But
merely because the world thinks this the world thinks
that is no reason for Warfelds falling in with the

for him to disagree-and he usually has given little

FOX AND THE GRAPES
By A. Sykes of Germantown. Pennsylvania

GONE years ago was representing small bicycle
- firm in England with rather Indifferent success.
1t was in the fall, and could do little more than
establish few agencies with small sample orders tor
delivery in early spring. One morning l received
letter from my people nclosng postal from flames
Fox, Cycle Agent Hatchngton,' asking our salesman
to call. 1 was twenty miles away at the time; but as
my order book about empty blown egg
welcomed any clue that would lead to possible business
l managed to drop in my man about eleven
o'clock And such junkshop The store consisted of
covered alleyway Uttered with the most ancient col
lection of bone shakers had There was
not nearly wheel in the place. Fox's ap-
pearance was quite in keeping with his surroundings
too,-a big rusty countryfed looking man; slow
talker but pleasant enough, and good listener.
He admitted that he was looking for good agency,
going clean out his old stock at sacrifice and
intended ordering about thirty wheels imme-
diatey Would pay for them at thirty days, and pro-
duced his bank book, showing substantial balance.
This all looked good to me, and l had just noted
down his order, which he preferred to confirm direct
rather than sign, with side door opened and woman
appeared holding pair of scissors.
3Jim,' she said sharply, 3cut me two more big
punches quick'
Fox introduced me to his wife, then marched of
through the big door at the rear.
Mrs. Fox thin with long, red nose;
had rather shrewsh appearance thought-and I've not
altered my opinion to this day. Was salesman? Had
Visited Hatchington before? Married or single? Was
sorry to intrude, but wanted the grapes for friend
Did like grapes9
l assured her that grapes my favorite fruit;
couldn't really get enough of them. You see wanted
be real nice of the order She told that
was fortunate to call there, they grew the finest
grapes that part of the country in fact all the gentle
who called for orders were anxious to buy them
took the hint and pressed her to let me have
bunch or so for my eating. About this time Fox
came in with two really fine punches of purple grapes,
and Mrs Fox took the scissors, saying she would cut
mine specially with her own hands. She soon returned
with large white box filled to the top, which she pro-
ceeded to weigh little over five pounds, at three
shllings per pound, fifteen shillings and sxpence
extra for the box,-roughly four dollars in United
States money.
Whew! 1 nearly fell over and the point of
refusing to take the grapes when I thought again of
the nice commission l making the order, and

lost time in getting out of the store. though, and
went off to the hotel for lunch. did not know what to
do with so many grapes thought would be liberal and
hand them round to the people in the hotel They ac-
cepted them graciousy enough; but for the life of me
could understand why there should be much sng
gerng and laughing while they enjoying my treat
got away that afternoon and ran down to South
ampton. There met Jones, old friend OF the road
and of had to compare notes business gen.
orally. casually mentioned that had landed pretty
good thing Hatchington that day. Jones burst out
laughing.
9And what did you do with the grapes?" he asked.
explained the manner in which had disposed OF
them and thought he would go into convulsions. 3But
how the Dickens do you happen to know anything about
the grapes?' said l.
aOh, everybody has to take grapes before they
get order from Fox, and you unconsciousy fol-
lowed time precedent in getting rid of them
~You wrong" retorted; 3for l had the order in
my pocket before 1 knew there such thing as
grape around the place"
&Wel, if I'm not mistaken you will appreciate the
joke little better in few days, and Jones trotted off
to bed, still grinning
I was not kept very long in suspense as to his mean
ing; for days later received curt note from my
people inclosing postal from Fox addressed to me
sona He regretted that he could not take the wheels
mentioned in conversation for reasons that had
cropped up after left. He would be pleased to explain
to me personally when called again, which he hoped
would be soon; also hoped enjoyed the grapes and
would recommend him to my friends.

and evidently doing thriving business selling his
grapes off the vne No trouble-no middleman-no
shipping expenses-and getting London retail prices
into the bargain.
I passed to the hotel. Sure enough, just before
dapper young fellow marched in bearing the well
known white box and desired that accept some very
fine grapes which he had that morning obtained from
new customer right off the vine.

TELLS HOW saul
WAS CONVERTED
EVANGELIST SAYS EVERY MAN is
REQUIRED TO GO THROUGH
WITH SAME THING.

How the "chief of sinners was con-
verified" was the theme of Evangelist
Speigel at the revival services last
night at the Christian Church. Terse-
ly, plainly the evangelist reviewed the
record of the incident, laying the domi-
nant fact before his audience.
Saul of Tarsus was the chief sinner,
according to his own statement, yet
at the time of his conversion he was
in covenant relations with God. He,
himself. said that up to that time he
had acted in "all good conscience"
This explodes the theory that it does
not make any difference what man
believes so long as he is honest in it.
Honesty never converted error into
truth.
The conversion of Saul was no diff
ferent in the things required of him
that of any other man, said the preach
er. Jesus did not appear to Saul to
convert him but to make him an apos-
tie, an eye and ear witness. A change
of heart was required of him; change
of life and a change of state and rela
tionship. These were wrought in his
faith, repentance and baptism, just as
they are wrought for every man.
The song service preceding the ser
mon was most enjoyable, the singing
by the congregation being marked
