exciting pass. A dog fight? Some
one hurt? A rat to be let loose for
the dogs?
It's a mana mani" she shouted
as she drew nearer.

vised the driver.
No! No! Go nearer! Oh, they are
killing him! You ruffians! You
brutes!"
With that she was down among
them, striking right and left with her
parasol.
You can create a mob in thirty
seconds. You can still II in the same
time II you strike the right moment.
You two men lift him into the
machine!" ordered the girl as she
pointed to the two nearest.
You don't know what he did!"
growled one of them.
But I know what you brutes have
done! Lift him in"
The crowd cheered! Queer thing
a crowd u.s. 1t is as tickle as the
shadows racing over a lake. A po-
liceman came pushing his way through
the press to say:
See here, Missy. I've got to take
him to-"

command -.o-,the' chauffeur; and the
mob was LETT behind m a moment TO
shout the inquiries at each other:
Who Is she?"

Say, fellers, who begun it?"
And in three minutes the mob had
dissolved and one could not have told
that human passions had been let
loose there.
Home, as fast as you cant" said
the girl to the chauffeur.
There was an object on the floor of
the tonneau. One had to look twice
to make sure that IL was a human
being, or the remnants of one. Rags

Heroine and FooI-Woman in

BY BRYANT c. ROGERS.

Young George Benedict had come to
town ON q matter of business, and
was one of the thousands walking the
crowded streets. Fate willed 1t that
. minute or two before he was to pass
4 certain grocery the grocer lifted up
his voice and shouted at his delivery
boy:

teri"
Tea, I guess" replied the boy.
Yes. and you left 1t there from
your last delivery. you careless
wretch. It should have gone with
Mrs. Whites order. Take 1t and
hustle?"
The boy seized the package and
ran. He jumped from the door with
out regard to pedestrians, and he
struck young Benedict in the shoul-
der and Knocked him into the gutter.
A. he went down. the victim cut his
hand on some object carelessly thrown
out. and . man paused long enough
to wrap . handkerchief around 1t and
say:
Better get TO the drug store around
the corner. That's q rather bad cut. u
The wounded man was looking for
the place. At the corner he asked q
woman waiting for car to redirect
him, and the moment the woman
caught sight Of his bloody hand she
uttered q scream and started to run
A fool thing 70 do! Fifty men heard
that scream and stopped dead still
There! There!" she cried as she
pointed at young Benedict.
That was enough. The fifty made
rush for him. and fifty more came
up. There was but one Interpretation
to be put on the foolwoman's words
They didn't give him time to explain
even to hold up his bleeding hand
Most of his clothing was torn off il
five minutes, and then he was heater
down, and there were cries for rop,
to lynch him. Peaceful and law-abid

! There is a cleanliness of the body and
| a cleanness OF the soul that always go
| together. l believe we cannot attain the
one without arriving at the other:
Cleanliness is next to goodness" is an
old. old saying, one we repeat glibly.
| but do we realize its inner meaning?
Civilization and the habits of good So
ciety have taught us to keep our faces
and our bodies clean, to bring up our
children to take a daily bath. brush
their teeth frequently. to be ashamed of
|, dirty fingernails, and to observe all the
other personal niccties which make 1t
possible to tolerate each other in our
daily living. How many of us have ever
thought of the actual effect of a clean
body upon our thinking and our morals?
The connection must be there. The bath
tub must be the forerunner Of right liv-
ing II the adage is true.
Do we. the members of the Mothers
Club. let our teaching stop with the
bodily cleanliness? Or do We talk to our
boys and our girls of that cleanness of
the soul that development of our higher
selves. which scientists tell us is the
goal of our race upon this earth!
l know mothers who do. A dear friend
whom l have known for many years told
me that she had always tried to make
her son feel, as she felt. the absolute
truth or the teaCnlng tndt the buuN IL

he must keep himself as clean as he
would a palace where a royal guest might
reside. And that boy went through col
lege and out into the business world with
the reputation among the other men of
being one of the straightest fellows
among them.
A lot of men are beginning to think
seriously of these things, and | am glad
to feel that it Is the mothers and fathers
Of today who are leading them to the
better thinking. A young girl who is
about to be married told me not long
ago a converse ton she had had with her
lover that would like to repeat to
every mother I know.
She said that the evening she and
her lover had become engaged he went
to his mothers room when he went
home as he always did. to talk things
over with her. He told her of his hap
piness and his mother heard him
through. all his raptures. all his
praises of the girl who had promised

In Black and White.

Now that the vogue of black and white
has extended to the cuisine the French
sauce known as demi-deuil Chalf mourn
ing is in frequent use. The sharply de-
fined black and white effect Is obtained
by the use Of rich. smooth. white sauce
in combination with trufY1es.
There must be no eggs in the sauce,
for the least suspicion of yellow would
spoil the half-mourning effect Where
caviar can be appropriately used the
shiny black globules are also introduced
TO accentuate the sharp contrast of color
ing.
Shreds OF picked walnut on a white
mayonnaise carry out the black and
white effect sufficiently well and are well
liked in preparing salads in demi-deuil
style. They are also useful il trufies and
caviar are not relisheds Ripe olives are
often found of sufficiently dark coloring
to pass for black in combination with q
white sauce. and make a piquant add
ton TO the flavor of the dish.
Shirred eggs in demi-deuil is a favorfte
luncheon order at up-to-date restaurants.
One egg constitutes a half portion. and
in connection with the rich white sauce
is a hearty dish.
