CHARACTER IN THE TONGUE
Look at Your Own and See II There
Is Any Sense to This Neyt
Science, So-CaIIed.

Put out your tongue" Is a phrase
associated in most peoples minds with
doctors, and is usually reminiscent of
minor ailments and nasty medicines;
spoken by glossomancist, however.
the curt command takes on an alto
gether different significance
A glossomancist, it may be as well
NANCY, new science which consists
in reading peoples characters by the
shape and size of their tongues.
Thus. according to it's votaries, the
possessor Of a short and broad tongue
is apt to be untruthful as to words
and unreliable as to dee1s. A long
tongue moderately pointed, denotes
frankness, and a loving, trustfuI. af-
fectionate disposition When the
tongue is long and broad, however. il
is sign that the owner is shallow
and superficial and also a great talk
er. The typical woman gossip, say
glossomancists, almost always shows
this shape of tongue
The small round tongue, plump. and
in shape like an oyster, denotes med;-
ocre abilities, and nature that is
commonplace and colorless. A short
narrow tongue goes with nature that
is at once quick-tempered and vet af-
fectionate. strong and sudden in hate
as in love.
The worst type Of tongue is the
long narrow, sinuous kind, what eios-
somancists call the snake tongue !"

sly. vindictive and very deceitfuI

left the wheelbarrow forgotten In
the road, and we ran up the slope to
gether, turned at the door, and gazed
back. The POOL shimmered in the aft
ernoon sun. We could hear the water
tinkling over the dam. Beyond the
pool was the dark semicircle of fresh
mold that was to be green grass
backed by blossoms against the shrub
berry, and finally, at the very rear, now
stood the white bench, from this dis
lance cleaning like marble.
Fine. 1t looks fine" cried.
Stella's eyes were squinted judi
cially. ''Oh. DEAR" she said. Il wish
there was a cedar, tall, slender, dark
cedar, just behind the bench at either
end. And. John, do you know, we
ought to have some goldfish in the

''Plll ask Mike when is the best time

Mike was sure that spring was the
best time. and there were some good
ones up in our pasture.
'Oh, dear. spring is the best time
for everything, it seems to me, and
here it's only Julyr' cried Stella. We'll,
anyhow, I'm going to draw plan of
the pool garden, and hang it over my
desk"
She got paper and pencil and drew
the plan, while l lay under an orchard
tree listening to the tinkle of the wa
terfall and watching her while Buster
came and licked my face.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Nice Other Things.

A pool of water twenty feet long
thinning in the sun, or glimmering deep
ly in the twilight, that and nothing
else save a few struggling ANIMALS
wrongly placed about it-yet it made
Twin Fires over, it caused us weeks of
toll, it got into our dreams, it got into
our pockets, too.
'Now | know why sunken gardens
are so called" said Stella as she fig
ured out the cost of the fall bulb plant

because you sink so much money in

OF course there was little that we
could do TO the margin of the pool that
summer, but there was plenty to do
all was TO place the flower beds diff
terently. This took considerable ex-
perimenting, and Stella, being ingen-
lous. hit upon scheme for testing va
rious possible arrangements. She filled
all sorts of receptacles, from tumblers
TO pitchers. with cut flowers, low and
high, and stood them in masses here
and there, till the spot was found
where they looked the best. As the
pool centered on the line between the
front door of the house and the yet
to-be-built garden bench against the
stone wall, and as the orchard came
down to within forty feet of the brook
on the slope from the house, it was
something of problem 20 lead natu-

A clever woman who has had sew

It Is a problem to keep food hot
when using gas. A good-sized piece
of sheetiron placed on one of the burn

will give sufficient heat, and some dish
may be cooking on 1t at the same time
The dish drainer which has a vase
shaped centerpiece and holds the small
silver, and around which the plates
may be placed for scalding, is a splen-
did labor saver. The dishes may be
washed and scalded and placed on the
table in the drainer, then when ready
to wipe they will be found to be need
