You see the style is plain and the
shocking is the only work that will

Helen hurried out to the dining
room again to see Warren off. He
was just finishing his coffee and pro-
ceeded to fold his napkin in silence as
Helen dropped into her chair.
viii she be here to dinner to-
night?" he asked disagreeably
Helen looked up. Don't speak so
loud, Warren" she said; II shouldn't
like her to hear you"
II don't care" he vouchsafed; be
sides you closed the door and, unless
she has pretty good ears, she's not
going to hear a remark made in an
ordinary tone of voice two rooms
away"
Helen gathered up her mail and
said. sweetly, I'm afraid she is,
dear, but perhaps not. She has two
little children, and she may want to
go home to them"
Where did you hear of herr" he
questioned.
Several members of the club have
spoken of her. She does plain sewing
and is very reasonable"
II don't see why you can't have
your sewing done out of the house
like other women" he said, still dis
agreea BILE.
We'll, I'll tell you why I don't"
said Helen firmly. You have talked

am trying to make the bills as small
as possible, unless you don't want me
to have anything. This woman would
charge about half what a woman
would who took the sewing home.
am going to help her and there is no
reason for you taking that attitude
about 1t, Warren; 1 think you are very
unreasonable"
Warren got up abruptly. Il hate
women tagging around the house" he
complained. I'VE haven't been alone
can remember"
I'm sorry, Warren but in this case
it can't be helped. l am trying to do
my best for you and everyone"
She followed him out into the hall
and went up to him impulsively. 1T
Will be over in a couple of days, dear;
won't you be nice about it?'
Yes, and then We'll have to begin
to talk about some place to send you
for the summer
Helen was silent.
We'll, be good" he said with a
hasty kiss, and I'll be as decent as
possible" This was Warrens way of
being really magnanimous, and Helen
heard the door close with a sigh of
relief.

WHITE INDIAN RUNNER DUCKS
COPYRIG HIT, 1915.

Indian Runner Ducks are growing
rapidly in popular favor, and in some
sections are competing with hens for
favor among poultrymen. Remark
able records for egg production have
been made by the Indian Runners,
which are good foragers, grow rapidly
and reach maturity early.
Full grown specimens weigh from 4
to Y pounds. This is about half the
weight of Pekins, but is not too small
for profitable marketing, since the
ducklings can be rushed to marketing

Here is an exceptionally dainty blouse
that can be shirred to form its own girdle
or finished at the waist line. 1t includes
q little vestee which gives extremely be-
coming lines and it is altogether very
charming. In the picture, it is made
with slightly open neck and with long
bishop sleeves and that combination is a
smart one, but warm weather brings its
own demands and three-quarter sleeves
are quite correct. In the picture, one of
the pretty, lowered washable silk crepes
is used in combination with lace but this
is model which will be found available
for both silk, cotton and for the hand
kerchief lawn that is such a pronounced
favorite this season. Cotton crepe or
cotton voile would be very charming
made with either lace or embroidery or,
handkerchief lawn would be pretty,
striped for the blouse itself and plain for
the collar and vestee and with the edges
of the latter scalloped and perhaps en-
broidered with dots within the scallops.
The model is very simple one, the shir-
rings being arranged over a plain stay
that holds them perfectly in place. The
front edges are tapped over the vestee and
the closing is made at the center front.
For the medium size will be needed 35&
yds. of material 27 in. wide, 2 "a yds. 36,
2 yds. "A and IN yds. of lace 6 in. wide
for the vestee and collar.

= Their Married Life

What are you getting up so early

Helen.
Helen, turned startled at. his sud.
den words She had thought she had
been too careful to waken him, and
she said apologetically:
I'm sorky I woke you, dear
''I've been awake for some time"
"Oh, have you? I'm going to have
a woman come in to sew to-day, and
] thought I'd get up early to be ready
for her"
Helen genuinely hated tlss idea of a
sewing woman in the house, but this
searnstress had come highly recon-
mended and as Winifred needed un-
derclothes and several little summer
dresses Helen thought it would be
cheaper to have woman sew at home
where she could superirrtend things,
rather than send the thirgs out.
Breakfast went as usual, Warren
engrossed in the mornir e paper and
Helen going through the mail. There
was seldom anything for Warren that
came to the house, Sc Helen had
everything her own way in the morn

jealous, but he was often curious and
ready to jibe If lTelen used any of the
little airs and graces that he readily
recognized.
Here's a cat,tlog from Simon

Warren gave htsr a whitening
glance. with peopl e as poor as we
are" he remarked. Paris will cut
very little ice just at present"
Helen sighed. 1t see med years since
she had revelled in a real imported
gown, and once in a W hile she lollged
to be extravagant and buy something
really handsome.
If Warren heard the sigh he did not
show the fact, but went on with his
paper. Helen continued to hook over
the catalog and finally exclaimed:
Here's a really pretty gown; 1t
looks quite Parisian.'
Still harping on the question Of
clothes? Haven't you got enough? 1t
seems to me as though you were
pretty we'll stocked if 1 know any
thing about it,
why, of course. don't want any
thing, at least not anything in par
ticular," denied Helen. Every woman
likes to look at them, though. don't
think there is any harm in it.
Her eyes were flashing anglily and
she was on the point of in dignant
tears, but controlled herself. The bell
rang at that moment, and from NoTa's
low conversation Helen knew THAT the
sewing woman had been admitted
The seamstress was standing in the

Body lice may be destroyed by using
any of the many good kinds of lice

little finely powdered sulphur through
the fluffy feathers at the rear of the

but ne left a stable full of COWS that

He had newfaneled notions of MAX

Bill would never make it work. 1t
wasn't worth a ding! Bill didn't say
a single word, and didn't care a
darn bout what they said, fer slick
as grease, his hay went in the barn
an hour before a thunder storm
came sailin' out that way and
caught his neighbors in a pinch and
spoiled their new mown hay. Bills
