tired to move. although she had wanted
to finish up everything before she went

! then discovered suddenly that his face
was thoughtful.

Ruth sat up. what is it?" Her
curiosity was all aroused.
Jack Bond still cares for you
why, Scott, you don't know what
you're saying. Where did you get that
idea?"
"A man always knows Jack will
never love Natalie. o, think he likes
her. but I saw him look at you tonight,
and it was unmistakeable."
There was silence while Ruth
thought about this amazing idea. Ger
tsinly it did not displease her. She
wondered II Scott were right. Then Scott
spoke again. ar
"T sometimes wonder II you did the
right thing in not marrying Jack. Ruth"
why, Scott. what do you mean? Why
do you say that?'

you and I thought Of the way you had

Jack Bond, you would have had every
thing to make you happy"
But not you, Scott" Ruth said
quickly, springing UP and rushing over
to him. And nothing else matters, be-
lievo me, won't you?"
And it was true, all true, but Ruth
remembered afterward when the lights
were out and she was dropping off to
sleep, what Scott had said. 1t was
wonderful that Jack still cared, and
surely It couldn't hurt anything.

In the organdie frock shown today
the ribbons are of blue and the frock is
of that soft shade of pink that we call
flesh color. There are three deep tucks
on the skirt, and the ribbons are clever
ly run through these tucks and tied
at the left side. The same ribbon run
tucks are seen on the edge of the short
sleeves and the high rolling collar, and
again the bows are evident. There are
long ends of ribbon depending from the
belt in front and from the collar. The
hat chosen to wear with this frock is of
light blue georgette, and there are roses
of pink chiffon about the crown

Ladies' day is correct. The apostrophe
would go before the If you were
using the term lady in the singular
number, as the lady's handkerchief.
This would refer to one lady.

ITO MY way of thinking the guest
room should breathe the spirit of
hospitality. Were I the possessor. Of a
guest room, what delight I should take
in dressing It up! Dainty, bright cur
tains should adorn the shiny, bright
windows, and always there would be a
low bowl of happy flowers to nod gay
welcome. BY the table at the bedside
or at the dresser, ;s could not have a

tea sets that come in blue and old rose
and yellow? Well, these candlesticks
are of the same ware, so there could be
one to match the color plan of the
guest room and here is the fascinating
part: each has little snuffer which fits
over the top of the candle. Such a
quaint little candlestick l have never
behcld, and the price is but twenty five
cents.
Every woman should have at least
one jelly or marmalade jar for the din

such lovely ones can be had for fifty
cents. They are Of thin glass, with
graceful flowers etchcd-I believe you
say-on them, and each has its bright

MAUD POWELL

Greatness in the violin field pre-
supposes technical knowledge of the
strings and the bow; pre-supposes a
knowledge of violin literature; as
sumes skill in finger manipulation ;
and implies certain amount of mus
ical feeling. Then all that is neces-
saray to say Of Maud Powell is that
she is a great violinist. The trouble
is the term is so often misused, that
one must modify it to truly great, "
to show that it is not a mere passing
comment.
st. Johnbsury is anticipating with
lively interest the appearance in con-
cert by Madam Powell this evening.
Accompanied by her pianist, AXel
Skjerne, the Dane, Madam Powell,
will give a varied program.

Never fOrSake a friend. Y

Never forsake friend. When
enemies gather around, when sick
ness falls, in the heart is the time
to try true friendship. They who
turn from the scene Of distress be-
tray their hyopcracy and prove
that interest only can move them.
If you have a friend who loves
you-who has studied your inter
est and happiness-be sure to sus-
tain him in adversely. Let him
feel that his former kindness is APP
preciated, and that his love was
not thrown away. Real fidelity
may be rare, but it exists-in the
heart. They only deny it's worth
and power who have never loved
a friend or labored to make one
happy.-AbbeNille Progress.

The Philadelphia Lodges takes
issue with one Of the big city
dailies in its view that the new
secretary. of the treasury does not
size up 70 the job. The only
argument advanced, says the
Ledger is that Mr.. Glass, being
a country editor. has no training
IN large finance, to which the
Ledger replies: "The big city
editor who does not know that
the country editors has more
trouble with financing his JOB
than any other part Of it, needs
personal contact to enlighten him.
Any man who can successfully run
. country newspaper is fit for
most any big job. Secretary OF
the Navy Daniels was not the first
man to prove this. and it is safe
to say that Secretary will not be
the last. Numerous country edi-
tors help much in running the
country without holding any
other job.
