Luminous Eyes.

Cats among mammals, and owls
among birds, says w. H. Hudson In his
book "Idle Days in Patagonia" are the
most highly favored of any creatures
in the matter Of luminous eyes. "The
feline eyes, as Of puma or wildcat,
blazing with wrath, sometimes affect
one like an electric shock; but for In
tense brilliance the yellow globes Of
the owl are unparalleled" Mr.. Hud-
son asserts that nature has done com.
paratively little for the human eye
either in these terrifying splendors or
in beauty. He says that In Brazil he
was greatly impressed with the mag
nlficent appearance Of many Of the ne
gro women; but that II they had only
possessed the "golden irldes" Of GER
tain intensely black tropica! birds

To Make Book Plates.

One way to make effective book
plates is to have a stencil. through
which you can work up the slips in
water-colors. Stencils are cut from
oiled stencil paper or board, but IL
you are going to make very many,
1t mightsbe well to have a metal stem
ell cut. as the paper or cardboard will
soon wear out. Look through the maya
zines for some appropriate design or
group and trace 1t to your stencil pa
per. Cut 1t up into little portions, as
you would jigsaw puzzle, so that all
the design Is in parts, all Joined by
small bridges" to each other. Cut
out the design. leaving the bridges
firm, with a sharp knife, holding the
stencil over glass or marble rs you cut.
When complete proceed to color
through the stencil onto thin cardboard
or water-color paper. A dozen or so of
these book plates at time will not be q
strenuous task and the result will
easily repay labor.

CHAPTER XVIII.
A Business Proposition.

Buzzlng around in the back of John
Galbraith's mind was an unworded
protest against the way Rose had just
killed her own beauty, with a thick
white veil, so nearly opaque that all 1t
let him see of her face was an inter-
mittent CLEAN of her eyes. The busl-
ness between them was over, and
all she was waiting for was q word
of dismissal, to nod him fare
well and go swinging away down the
avenue. Still he didn't speak. and she
moved little restlessly. At last:
''Do you mind crossing the streetT
he asked abruptly. "Then we can talk
us we walk along She must have
hesltated, because he added, "It's too
cold to stand here"
"0f course" she said then. All that
had made her hesitate was her sur
prise over his having made request
instead Of giving an order.
'Do you think you'll be able to con-
vince Mrs. Goldsmith" she asked,
as they walked down the east side Of
the avenue together, shat her gowns
don't look well on the stage?"
probably not" he said. "No, she
won't be convinced, and IL I know
Goldsmith, he'll say his wife's taste is
good enough for him. So II we want a
change, we've fight on our hands,"
The way he had unconsclously
phrased that sentence startled him a
little.
"The question is," he went on,
whether they're worth making a fight
about. Are they as bad as I think
they are?"
"Oh, yes" said Rose. They're dow
dy and fourth-class and ridiculous. OF
course l don't know how many people
in the audience would know that"
"And / don't care" said John Gal
braith, with flash Of intensity that
made her look around at him. "That's
not consideration I'll give any weight
to. When I put production under my
name, It's the best ! can make with
what I've got. When I have to take
cynical view and try to get by with

out in front won't know the difference,
I'll go out to my little farm on Long
Island and raise garden truck"
There was another momentary ST.
lence, for the girl made no comment
at all on this statement Of his credo.
But he felt sure, somehow, that she
understood it, and presently he went
on speaking.
"Would 1t be possible, do you think,
to get better gowns that would also
be cheaper? That argument would
bring Goldsmith around in hurry. It's
ridiculous, Of course, but that's the
trouble with making production for
amateurs. You spend more time fight
ing them than you do producing the
show"
81 don't believe" said Rose, that
you could get better ready-made cos
tunes a lot cheaper; the two or three
we might be able to find wouldn't help
us much"
"And I suppose" he said dublously,
''lt's out Of the question getting them
any other way than ready made; that
is, and cheaper, too"
The only sign of excitement there
was In the girls voice when she an
swered, was sort Of exaggerated mat
ter-of-factness. II could design the
costumes and pick out the materials"
she said, "but we'd have to get good
sewing woman-perhaps more than
one-to get them DONE"
He wasn't greatly surprised. Per-
haps the notion that she might suggest
something Of the sort was responsible
for the tentative, dubious way In which
he had said he supposed 1t couldn't
be done.

asked.

But / know can do that part Of 1t.

reverted to the other part Of the plan.

II Was Lasting Lesson and Killed His

Once there was little boy who stole

sugar that half his mothers time was
taken up watching the sugar bowl
One morning, however. she filed the
big tumbler full OF sugar and gave it to
the little boy and told him to eat it all
The boy took a spoon and started in
He ate about third of it before he got
enough. His mother insisted that he
eat some more-it was all his to eat,
and she'd box his ears If he didn't eat
it. She did box his ears, and he ate a
little more, but presently he slipped the
tumbler under his chair and slipped
out to play.
When he came back, though, the tum-
bier was there waiting for him. He
ate little, but it wasn't good. He said
it was 'too sweet" Every day for a
month that tumbler was by his plate
at the table. on a chair by his bedside.

HOMES AWAY FROM HOME.

A SIGNIFICANT catch-word has been
used to designate the feld-work at
the front of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association. 1t was coined by
one of our boys somewhere in France
who, finding comfort and care in the
huts that are marked by the Red
Triangle, said that the soldiers were
finding "home away from home. "
The work that has been undertaken
W the Z. M. C. A., not only in con-
nection with our own soldiers, but
with the armies of France, of Russia
and of Italy, is a stupendous one !;
and the National War Work Council
with headquarters in New York, is
Just about to start an intensive cam
paign to raise no less than S35, 000,-
600 with which to carry on and ex-
pand this work up to July /, 1918.
At first blush this seems an enor-
NOUS sum, but when it is considered
what this money does it may seem
all too little. Since the war began
it has been the task of the Y. M. C..
A. to keep home ties from breaking.
Wherever American troops gather,
and to some extent also among
French. Russian and Italian soldiers,
and in the prisoner-of-war camps,
the Red Triangle of the Y. M. c..
has gone to safeguard home ideals.
There is Red Triangle tent at the
foot of Mount Sinai; where the
Apostle Mark preached the gospel
at Alexandria, there the Red Tri-
angle huts offer comforts to the
troops. In the Holy Land, in East
Africa, and in the midst of the fight
ing Kurds at Bagdad; on the
Gallipoli Observation-Disclosures troops
are away from home the Red Tr;-
angle has been at work.
John R. Mott, general secretary
of the National War Work Council of
the Y. M. C. A., says that before
next July the American army and
navy will number probably2, $50, 900
men; there care IS, 100000 men in
the armies of Russia, Italy, France,
Belgium, Mesopotamia, India, East
Africa, Egypt and Roumania which
look TO the American Y. M. &. A..
tor cooperation. and, besides, there
are 5000, 900 prisoners of war to
serve.
In the 'Y" huts, or at the fight

ture of these sections.

ing-line, in the dugouts, the soldiers
write their letters home on stationery
furnished free. One order of letter
paper for the camps came to S79, 900.
Already SIS, 900. 900 has been used
in carrying on the work. Five hun
dred huts for American troops have
been built and equipped--warm,
cheerful centers of friendliness and
moral force. Similar work main
tanned by the British Y. M. C. A.
has won the commentator of the
British and French commanders, Sir
Douglas Haig and General Petain !;
and the American work has been
highly praised by General Pershing
as great help to the morale of the
army.
The raising Of this $35, 10000 by
November 19 will be great task !;
it will involve sacrifice, entail self
denial. But how insignificant that
is compared with the great good
that is being done!
The present is time of sacrifice.
Those who can't go over to hurl
bullets at the bitter enemy, can at
least hurl their dollars into the fray.
