CHATTER LXUI

Mr.. Norton had spoken truly when
he said that the backbone of the
drought was broken.
The downpour that had begun in
the evening continued through the
next day. We had had so few rainy
days this summer that to be house
bound from morning to night was a
new experience to Grace and me.
The front and back verandas were
swept by the easterly storm, so the
child could not play on them.
We played games together and
read aloud during the morning. But
after luncheon the little girl longed
for some unusual occupation.
Il tell you what let's do" she
suggested. Lets go up into the at
tic. There's funny things there in
the trunks"
THE attic?" I repeated. you
will nave to ask your auntie. have
been up there only once, and then
just passed through one end on my
way to the roof"
1 myself was glad of some diver
sion. Tom and Hugh had worked
for several hours after breakfast.
and then, in spite of the rain, had
donned rubber coats and boots and
gone for a days fishing down the
river. taking their luncheon in a
waterproof bag. Mr.. Norton was,
of course, in the city. Mrs. Gore
was content to sit in her own room
and read sentimental novel.
So l was willing to go with Grace
to Mrs. Cores chamber where the
child made her request
Why, yes, darling, you may 90
UP into the attic" the widow said,
IF Miss Dart will go with you.
There are" she explained to me,
several trunks and boxes of toys
that Grace had when she was young
er-also some of Toms old books
that she may like to look at. Then
there are several receptacles of
clothing. Many of those would not
be interesting to the child, and are
packed away in camphor-and her
own baby-clothes are there. 1 sup

foolish to keep such things-but !

self of disposing of the belongings
of anyone I love. So I have kept
Grace's baby
I'D like to see them" the child
remarked.
Well" perhaps you will see them
up there" her aunt said. They are
in a gray leather trunk. But, dar-
ling. if you take anything out, you
must be sure TO put it back care
fully"
A Hint From Mrs. Gore
She addressed the child, but look
ed at me. I took the hint I'VE will
leave everything as we find it," I
assured her. Come on. Grace"
AS we passed the scuttle to the
roof I tried to forget the day on
which Mr.. Norton had taken me up
there.
The attic was very large and very

TIMING THE TYPIsT

Inventors have tried for years to
put counter on the typewriter to
estimate the speed of the typist, but
the efforts have always been con-
fined to a count of the words writ
ten. A recently patented device.
called a cyclometer, counts every
stroke which the typist makes on
the keyboard. 1t is fastened to the
escapement wheel of the typewriter.
says the Popular Science Monthly.
This wheel does not Move when the
carriage is showed backward and for
ward.
One firm employing fifty typists
found that its work was below nor
NAL by cyclometer count and later
that it had some very rapid typists
and some very slow ones. The rate
of pay had always been based on the
number of years of service, and
many of the slow ones were being
paid for the work done by the rapid
operators. This of course was quick
ly adjusted.

Are you quoting the little ranch
person? ?" she inquired. Then she an
swered his query: The only great
men worth speaking of are the men
who win. For the lack of something
better to do, I'm willing to help you
win, Montague. Most naturally, l am

father is to be found. And 1 have

ones in proportion; though it's hard

paid for it in advance. Mr.. Kinzie's
young man came to see me this
morning."
What did you do?"
II gave him a tracing of my map,
and he was so grateful it made me
want to tell him that it was all
wrong; that he wouldn't find father
in month if he followed the direc-
tions."
But you didn't"
NO; can play the game, when it
seems worth while"
Smith was trowning thoughtfully
when he led her TO the elevator al
cove.
My way would have been the
surer," he muttered half to himself.
Barbarian" she laughed; and
then: ITO think that you were once
a 'debutantes' darling.' Oh, yes; 1

it first, but it was true enough to
name you instantly for all Lawrence

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

7 TERE is a blouse which
II closes at the back, and
that back closing is one
of the latest and most inter
esting features of the season.
1t IS by no means universal
but it suits certain designs
peculiarly we'll and as it is
shown here it is eminently
smart. The skirt, too, shows
the barrel effect produced in a
quite new and entirely interest
ing way for the drapery forms
very pretty and graceful lines.
In the illustration, the entire
gown is made of sports satin
with embroidery on the blouse,
but the design could be utilized
for a pongee or for any other
sports silk or it could be util-
lied for a similar material with
perfect propriety,. SO long as
the trimming and finish are
suited to that material. Linen
could be used as the silk is here
to be pretty.
For the medium size the
blouse will require, 21s yards
of material 50 inches wide or
"A, and the skirt, 312 yards SO,
8 yards A.
The blouse pattern No. e423
is cut in sizes from "a to 40
inches bust measure and the
skirt No. e427 in sizes from
"a to 81 waist measure. They
will be mailed to any address
by the Fashion Department
of this paper, on receipt OF
fifteen cents for each.

JAPANESE MOS
QUITOES FOR BIRD FOOD

The delicious vocal organs of song
birds respond magically to special
care bestowed upon the diet. For
this reason, says the Popular Science
Monthly birds that are cultivated
in captivity are fed specially pre-
pared foods designed to furnish
maximum nourishment with mini
mum labor of the digestive organs.
A food which has been found es-
pecially valuable to bird-breeders
has for its principal ingredients
Japanese mosquitoes and ants eggs.
II is prepared by George Jenkins, of
New York city, an expert on the
care and feeding of birds. The ma
tionality of the mosquitoes is not
supposed to make a difference in
the taste or digestibility of the food.
The reason the insects are imported
from Japan is that the Japanese
have a method of catching them in
large quantities which as yet Amer
leans have not discovered.

TASKS OF MIDDLE AGE.
Work to Keep Youthful and to Insure
Future HAPPINESS.

Work to Keep Youthful and to Insure
Future Happiness.
In Woman's Home Companion Mar
garet Deland gives useful advice on
how to meet middle age in such q man.
ner as to insure future happiness:
ITO hold on to our appreciation Of
nature we must spur our dull and lag
ging memory Of beauty; to keep our APP
probation Of human nature we must
refuse to be laid on the shelf; we must
keep up with the procession of human
thought. Only 81 can we see the sweat,
the tears and smiles of our fellow
creatures.
'These are the two tasks of middle
g If we perform them worthily our
souls will never grow old. And plainly
it is up to u.s. as these slangy young
sters Of ours express tit is up to us
to keep young; to make sure that u
inner vision is open to beauty and to
the joy and sorrow, the squalor and
glory of our fellows. If we do this the
compensation is immediate.
$50 what difference does it make if
the body is rheumatic and n%earsighted
and a little deaf when it comes to
the song sparrow? What do such
things matter if the eyes of the soul
still see that crater mirroring the sky,
if the ears Of the spirit hear the birds
note in dawn and dew?
"Nor does it matter that the body
declines a game Of tennis and shud-
ders at a plunge in the surf when the
thermometer registers only SIS degrees
if the body's tenant is able to say to
the young people: GO ahead! Have a
good time! But take my word for it
