CHAPTER.

A fluffy array of dazzling white
lingerie and white gown with its
dainty accessories was ready for my
approval when reached my dressing
room. Before tearing away to hunt
for Bob's letter at the office I had
ordered Eloise to get out my white
crepe. It is the kind o. gown that al!
girls Just naturally love-a straight
Creek thing with the oval Of the neck
long on the shoulders. As Eloise had
spread it out, the ensemble was per
feet from the appropriate white satin
sandals TO the rope Of seed pearls

last birthday.

how he would have hooted any sug-

reused and attracted him!
Because I was so dreadfully hurt
BY Bob's neglect and Certeis' philan'
dering, wanted to talk to Elcise, not
as mistress and maid, but as girl and
girl. I wanted her opinion OF man and
his ways.
Eloise, like myself, is war bride,
but she is one OF those unhappy vic

allies must avenge- She was married
the day the Germans Surged over the
Belgian border and her husband was
killed before her eyes as he tried to
defend her horror. She was held a

The girl was sent to London to get

groups Of women the unprtntable
story OF Hun atrocity. But the task
proved too much for her nerves.
Mother Loriner discovered her In the
home Of a New York friend and
brought her here for change. But

Dual Character in, Men.

Most men are two characters under the same hat On the outside the one wears mask of. ciyllitye good com radeship and progress. On the inside
 is the grouch, the scold, the pessimist. Often the opposite is true, The outer man is crusty, exacting and may even be repelent His other self is the warm, true soul that longs for love and shows up best with few chosen friends. In either case life is a con stant contradiction The men are real. Each. has his followers and each has his special task In the world The unfortunate thing is we don't alwa ys get men at their best and so lose :mpcn of the better vision that would help take little of the harshness. from the old world.-Pennsylvania Grit.

 When peevish, cross, listless, pale, doesn't sleep, doesn't eat or act natu- rally. or Is feverish, stomach sour, breath bad; has stomach-ache, sore throat, diarrhea, full of cold, give a teaspoonful of California Syrup of Figs" and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, undigested food and sour bile gently moves out of the little bowels without griping, and you have well, playful child again.
 You needn't coax sick children to take this harmless fruit laxative ;" they love its delicious taste, and 1t always makes them feel splendid.
 Ask your druggist for bottle of California Syrup of Figs" which has directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on the bottle. Beware of commercials sold here. To be sure you get the genuine, ask to see that 1t Is made by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Company" Refuse any other kind with contempt.-Adv.

FEEDS FOR GROWING CHICKS
Suitable Rations Described for Young Fowls From Ten Days Up, Wheat Eating Age.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture
 After the chicks are ten days old, a good growing mash, composed of two parts by weight of bran, two parts mid dlings, one part cornmeal, aone part low-grade wfieat ftUSiirr or red .dagsEnids, dlings, and 10 per Cent Hsifted beef scrap. may be placed in sa pl,er mud left before tffem all the time. The mash may be fed either vet or atlrs'ss | if wet, only enough moisture (either milk or wtter) should be added to make the feed crumbly, but in no sense sloppy. When this growing mash or mixture is not used, hopper con- taining bran should be accessible to the chickens at all times.
 After the chickens are two months old they may be fed four times ydai y,' with good results. Afterfthey yfare three. months old, three feedings day are enough. <
 When one has only a few chiekens, it is less trouble to purehase the prs- pared chick feeds, but where cOnSid- erable number are reared 1t Is sonae.t times cheaper to buy the fnely cracked grains and mix them together. 44@SQme chick feeds contain large quantfty of grit and may contain grains of poor quality. so that they should be care fully examined and guaranty as to quality secured before purchase.
 AS soon as the chickens will eat the whole wheat Casually in about eight weeks), cracked corn. and other grains, the small-sized chick feed can be eliminated. In addition to the above feeds the chickens growth can be hast-, ened if they are given sour milk, skim milk, or buttermilk to drink. Growing chickens kept on good range may be given all their feed ira aa' hopper, mix
