The Bashful Lover.

Mrs. Mollison believed in treat
ing her domestic like a human be-
ing and always allowed her TO
have her young man in the kitchen
in the evening. But the lady was
also OF a curious disposition. and
one evening, knowing the girl was
entertaining a new swain, she stole
downstairs and listened at the
Kitchen door. She got no reward
Tor her pains. All within was
silence. The next morning she said
to her maid: Hannah. that young
man of yours seems very quiet. I
never hear any sound of talking
while he is here"
"Oh. bles you, MN" replied the
girl. with blush and a giggle,
hes that shy he's done nothin' but
eat UP 10 the present."

IRON COUSINS. BY Mrs. Alfred sids-
wick. New York: A. j. Watt
In this latest work Mrs. Sidg-
wick, who in "Salt of the Earth"
revealed the sinister mind of the
German military caste, presents an
entirely different view of the Teu-
tonic mental twists in the story ora
well-bred English girl who, just be-
fore the beginning OF the world
war, had a position Of governess
with a family in Hamburg. II is in
no sense n war story, but II is a
very interesting and entertaining
story--a plain narrative OF adven-
ture and love, and withal a story
that gives one cause to think.
IL Is evident that Mrs. Sidgwick
knows the Gcrman-her analysis of
their huge conceit, their intolerance
of everything not Germanic, their
Ignorance masauersding as knowl-
edge gives deeper insight into the
underlying national characteristics
which did play large part in the
beginning OF the war
Aside from It's purely entertain
ment value as n novel, "lron Cou-
sins carries a vital. powerful and
undeniable message, and presents a
study OF the real characters and
mental characteristics Of the Ger
mans.

piled Jim blandly. "She's going to

A minute later Jim and Jeanie
came in arm in arm. Her eyes
were a trife misty. Jim was grin
ming with delight. There seemed
no need for words. Clearly. as L
had imagined. a quarrel between
Jim and Jeanie couldn't last.
Dinner was a regular love-feast.
Virginia was very happy to be on
good terms with Jim again. Dan
gerous topics were skirted, and we
all gave ourselves over to the nap
piness of the reconciliation with
out openly acknowledging there
was such a thing as reconciliation
in the world.
When we got back to the living
room Jeanie watched with tender
yet auizzical eyes while Jim estab-
lished me comfortably, among my
cushions.

pered, as he put his lips lightly to
my forehead.
Then he advanced to the attack.
"Jeanie, did you know I'd been

asked with simulated innocence,

on that accomplishment

Good Things To Know

Plenty of rinsing water and open
air drying are the best means OF
keeping calico and linen garments
a good color. Should one or both
of these essentials be lacking, the
garments can be kept a good color
by the very occasional use of chlo-
ride of lime. Stir a tablespoonful
OF chloride OF lime into a quart OF
lukewarm water and put II aside
to settle. Then pour of the water
from the top, and use IL by dipping
the discolored articles into IL for
a second or so after IL leaves the
first rinsinR water. The garment
must not be left In the lime water:
1t must be thoroughly rinsed after
immersion, and the process must
not be repeated too frequently. as
the chloride of lime tends to rot
cotton and linen fabrics.
To clean curtain pins mix half
pint of vinegar and half a pint of
water together. and boil rather
quickly for Ave or ten minutes,
then wash thoroughly in lukewarm
water and dry.
A sensible bathroom. especially
where there are kiddies, is nm
ished in the following fashion:
Washable oilcloth is held to posi-
ton on the wall with enamcled
strips of wood, making a sort OF
"wainscoting" four feet high, the
top being finished with a three-inch
strip of enameied wood.
This permits the walls being wiped
as often as is necessary. yet gives
a neat finish to the room.
This oilcloth could be used for
the entire wall covering IL wished.
