You know how you feel on Blue Mon.

Science has discovered that is the
way flies feel in a room lighted by blue
windows.
Blue glass will make flys an obsolete
weapon according to a paper read be.
fore the academy Of science in Paris.
French scientists have found that all
that is necessary to rid the house OF
flies is to put enough blue panes OF
glass in windows to cast a tinge OF
blue light over the rooms.
Experiments were made in which
flies were offered a choice between
white and blue light. In every in.
stance the insects quickly chose the
spot bathed in white.

ELoISE did not dress to suit her

friends guessing as to her moods and
manners.
IN the days Of her small girlhood,
the Shelbys had lived next door to
her at Yorktown, and had later NOV

ing her first visit in many years to
Miriam Shelby, and instead of being
entertained, owing to the piquancy Of
her ways and dress. she vas herself
the entertainer.
Big, breezy man-of-the-world Tim
Darcy invited her To be his guest at
the races within half an hour after
he met her. Miriam's brother, Dick,
told her about hearing Darcy remark
to Edgar Herdon that he was going

when she arose to go, he, with quiet
assurance. presented himself as her
escort. For a moment she hesitated,
and then, bowling, accepted his arm.

he asked. when they were in the car
and speeding homeward.

that's the impression you gave them
today. A joke is all right, but I'm

you with some Of the real kind for to-

am supposed to do my share in en-

I have thrown her down when It
comes to that"
The brown eyes OF the girl turned
toward him. but he was gazing at the
road straight ahead. Suddenly Eloise
smiled. "All right, Dicki For Mir
Jams sake. then. What time shall it
be. and what shall we do?"
"Good!" was the response so fer.
vent that 1t startled her. "Ten sharp.
in the morning. AS to what-that is
the excitement. You are not to know
until the time comes"
Promptly at ten. Dick swung his
runabout around to the veranda, aud
was pleased to fnd Eloise already
there, trim. quiet an more enhancing
than ever. in a simple tailored suit
that made her look like a 1~7.year.old
schoolgirl.
Dicks satisfied gave enveloped her
like a caress. Eloise felt herself yield.
ing to the insistence OF It. AS the
car sped away, and along a cool coun.
try road. she tried to recover her
poise by monopolizing the conversa.
ton. Dick listened with that air Of
forced po~liteness that SO surely &C.
companies a preocupied mind.
Suddenly he stopped the car. They
were near the entrance to a lane that
led to a country church.
I'm glad you are Httingly dressed
for the trip, Eloise."

ed.
"our wedding trip" he explained.
"Our what" Her eloquence failed

We're going to be married, you
know. I've arranged everything. The
minister is up there at the church,
now. and after he's said the words
we'll jaunt along to u cottage at the
Dells."
"Dick Shelby, you depicable crea.

against him as fruitlessly as wind

when you're ready we'll go on up
to the church." Dick said quietly, ig.
noring her vehemence.
Eloise jumped from the car. "I'll
walk back" she announced, with scorn
supreme, as she noticed him follow
her.
Just then a placid COW ambled slow.

"Oh, Dick. Dick!" she screamed, and
