whom Isabelle Murtland had noticed.
Beatrice, so bewilderingly beautiful
and looking SO wonderfully happy and
animated that he had to look again to
be sure it was she. Beatrice did not see
him and he drew back into the shadow
of the box. "She is pretty, by Jove!"s
he managed to get out. And he was
right. His wife was by far the love
Hest woman in the house.

times with Frampton and the Warrens.

he always managed some way to re-
main unnoticed. Beatrice was always
beautifully gowned and men, he could
see, were anxious to meet her and talk
to her. The iron Of jealousy was en-
'tering his soul, and he swore to kill
Frampton, whom he knew Of old and
all about his suit for Beatrice.
"My wife's the best looking WOMAN
in New York." he cried, savagely one
evening. Il don't know how she hap
pens to be here, but / know she isn't
going to firt with that fool any longer.
And he called up the Warrens on the
phone.
Beatrice went home this morning"
said Evelyn Warren in answer to his
inquiry. "She tried to find you every
where when she was here. She was SO
sorry and disappointed"
"Heavens!" she exclaimed when he
had rung off. IF that man ever finds
out how we worked and contrtved to
follow him about and how the Hunt
leighs helped us out, he'll shoot every
one of us. The silly man did need a
lesson, though, and / hope he's got it.

for the rest Of his life. It's the only

it all"

said: Cant you get Aunt Martha to

so you can go with me? The trip would
do you good" In fact, in their early
married life she had gone with him
twice and she knew what a round of
pleasure it was. She strongly suspect
ed, however, that nowadays the round
of pleasure had no place for her, and
she was right.
That day she filled in the date Of the
letter and mailed It; then betook her

a near by city. Time was short for
what she had to do.
Fred, too, made due preparations for
his trip east, and when he finally ar

received by a certain pleasure loving
set with wide open arms. A few hours
with business men through the day and
long evenings of dining, dancing

THE WRITER'S OF
BOYS BOOKS

The death of J. 7. Trowbridge re
calls many memories Of romantic
hours to the middle aged boys of u
years ago. It could hardly be said
that they used to steal away to the
haymow to read Trowbridge's stories
as they did oliver optics. Trow
bridge was not sufficiently under the
ban for that.
or course there we're stern Old
Timers Of that day who deplored all
works of fiction. Boys should read
history and other substantial infor'
nation, they maintained. Still these
people were apt to be listening when
Fast Friends, Cudjo's cave, and 9TH
er romances by this author were be-
ing read aloud.
The passing of a classy juvenile
author like Trowbridge raises the
question whether the men who are
writing for the boys OF today nave
equal gifts. Many people who FOL
low the reading their youngsters are
pursuing, think that good deal OF
pretty poor stuff is being fed out.
Trowbridge had literary power and
his characters had humor and indi'
viduality. They went through a Sc
ries Of experiences that were neither
marvellous nor improbable. They
were just the every day struggles OF
young fellows to get foot hold In
the worlds work. That is always a
thrilling story If told with man
with a gift for narration and insight
into human nature. Trowbridge
made 1t vivid and entertaining.
The market for all kinds of literary
material has vastly widened now
Juvenile publications. and other peri
odicals are competing for stories. A
great deal Of mediocre work gets
accepted. The writer may wholly
lack the gift of wildly describing ev'
cry day scenes. He makes up for II
by making his young heroes prodi
gies. His boys are far smarter than
the average mature man. These
fairy yarns please the boys, but
they give false ideas of life. and
make every day humdrum effort seen
repelling.

serted that Mrs. Page Waller Eaton,
lecturer, author and head Of the blu.

er Of the bureau of public welfare,

tive OF Mayor William Hale Thomp'

simply said Billy (Mayor bhompson)

Later" Mr.. Stedman continued
Mrs. Eaton talked with Mrs. Roae
She quoted Mrs. Rowe as saying that
Mrs. Thompson the mayors wife
had said that everybody must help

further as stating that some of the
money went to Mrs. Thompson's sis

WHAT Is FARM

Farm management as branch OF
agricultural science is defined as
follows In an address recently deliv.
cred in New England by one of the
Department OF Agriculture's special
lists:
The farm management investigat'
or gets his information direct from
the farmer. The solution of many
OF the practical problems OF agrlcul

solved generations ago by large
groups of farmers; particularly Is II
true OF farm management and organ

The results Of thousands of such TX
perimenters gathered by the farm
management investigator, classihe,
and in, erpreted in their bearing OF
the community's problems and Oh

In previous decades the agricultui

PAINTING THE
ROADSlDES

About this time Of the year many
merchants used to be organizing
campaigns for decorating CD the
roadsides for many miles around
with their advertising. AS soon as
the spring mud had dried out, they
had their teams and men out erect
ing and painting staring signboards
along the country highways.
Very much less of this sort OF WORN
will be done the coming spring. In
many localities it has stopped alto
gether. The merchants found out II
did not have advertising value, ane
they were spending their good mon
ey for nothing.
One objection to this outdoor ad
vertising was that 1t soon became de
faced and shabby. Even neatl!
painted sign, IL exposed to rain ant
dust. would look ancient In single
season. 1t would convey an appear
ance of dinginess that was left hand

target, and jokers would take pain

intent.
The most serious objection to thes'
signs was the public animosity tina
they created. In many states legisla
ton has been enacted against them
In others various associations hav'
taken the matter up, and have mad'
II business to wreck roadside signs
confident that they were within thei
! legal rights.
The simple fact is that the people
don't want their pretty country road
defaced by advertising. When the,
go outside OF the towns, they like t
see country scenes an open air lif'
and want TO forget about business
