THE GLAD SURRENDER
Which Tells of the Motor Ride
BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR
Copyright, 1890, bV Public Ledger Co.

bles. Laurel thought them splendid
children. extraordinary well bred and
quite unspoiled. Even Grace became
quite childish when they stopped the
car along the banks of the Hudson and
prepared to picnic. This was plainly
an unusual treat for both children and
they considered Laurel's presence
partly responsible for it. Burton sat
on the ground like boy and ate fried
chicken and sandwiches aud olives as
though he had never enjoyed himself
more. Laurel thought him charming
with the children and out under the
blue of the wide sky with the sunlight
streaming down on him he looked very
young. His hair was grazing a very
little at the temples, and his features
were regularly cut and dark. He
turned to her suddenly and found her
studying him and she noticed that his
eyes were a peculiar gray, a piercing
steel color that had very little warmth
in it but great deal of brilliance.
Laurel laughed little and flushed
as she met his glance directly but
although he looked at her apprecia-
lively his glance did not kindlc. Her
cheeks were warm pink and her
eyes were like blue jewels under her
heavy lashes. She had taken off her
hat and the sun made splendor of her
ruddy hair. Dulcie lay fiat on her
back with her head in Laurel's lap
squirting at the sun. Grace leaned
against her shoulder. They had ac-
cepted Laurel in the most natural man
ner, had been more friendly with her
than they had ever been with any other
woman, even their aunt Harriet.
The children, even Dulcie, were stiff
with Harriet Long. She treated them
patronizingly. and it was a question
of the agG-old conflict between the
adult and the child mind Laurel lis
tened to their prattle, answered it,
drew them out. They lost their shy
| ness and became interested. and this in =
terest was intensified by the childish
| trust they had in her.
1t was strange that at the moment
when this man and woman looked at
each other. Laurel was conscious sud
denly of the fact that these warm little
bodies pressed clost against her were
his children. It seemed TO create a
bond of intimacy between Burton and
! herself, it gave her a delicious half
shy sensation of somehow belonging to
the picture.

Valentines Day

IF you want to have pretty table
and yet don't want to pay very much
for your decorations on Valentines s
Day, cover the table with a white cloth
that you don't mind spelling with
stains from rcd crepe paper that has
been wet. Then for your ccntcrpicce
cut huge heart out of red crepe paper,
and lay it fiat down on the table. pull
ing out the edges so that they stand up
in a ruffle. Then place candlcsticks
with shades made out of the same crepe
paper at four corners of the centerpece.
Then have smaller hearts as doilics Mt
each place, and make tiny heart dolly
for each tumbler to stand on.

THE FRIEND WHO REPEATS
DISAGREEABLE REMARKS

attention Something That Does Neither Good Nor Harm

'revent you from being pleasant aud

though there is nothing definite held
against either one. But, suppose ono
Of your friends assumed the responsi
bility of your friendship so heavily that
she felt compelled to repeat the re-
mark. IT would just make the situa
tion difficult without doing any good
at all. Whereas, if the remark had

IN ship enters into this habit Of running
to people with every disagreeablc re
mark that is ever made about them.
There is something in it that seems
little too much like gloating. And
there is no doubt that it makes great
deal of unnecessary trouble, creates
difficulties that would never arise Of
themselves, and calls attention to un-
pleasant situations that would be much
better kept quiet.

Small tin candy boxes may be deco
rated in much the same manner. Select
n tin candy box with a top measuring
about two inches in diameter. Pant the
entire box some neutral shade. such as
gray. ivory or putty color, and allow
the paint to dry well. Trace any desired
design on the painted surface of the
box and paint it in red or any other
color. The tube oil paints mixed with
white enamel may be used for the boxes
or one may purchase cnameloid, which
comes in many colors, and IS especially
adapted for painting on tin. These in
dividual boxes when filled with candy
make most attractive favors.

ct JUST thought it was only the part
L of friend to tell you what Jean
said" stated the girl with the right
cous air, Because it wasn't nice at all.
She said that she thought you were very
bossy and that you were trying to take
Charley away from her."
She paused and sat back to see what
effect her words would have on her
friend Naturally, the result was in
dignation, strong and high. Take
Charley away from her. Why, l knew
Charley before she ever saw him--and
don't want him. Amusement fol-
lowed indignation. Then after while
it didn't seem funny at all it was just
annoying. If Jean thought that, why
should she be so friendly?-but as far
as that was concerned. why was it nee
essary for her to know that Jean felt
that way? 1t would Just make their
relations strained, for it would not be
possible to keep up the same manner
now that she knew that Jean was not
entirely friendly; and yet there was not
enough hostility to declare an open
breach. The whole affair was very dis
concerting. IT wish she hadn't told
me-" she finally lamented.
TT NEARLY always happens that

marks that are made about us behind

many of them made idly. with no idea of
hurting any one. that would simply
melt away with the thought that
prompted them if they were allowed to.
| 1t is only when one of these righteous,
loyal friends takes it upon herself to
tell YOU what "she said, because 1 think
you ought to know" that the words
acquire an edge of insult. :,
1t seems to me that this is rather
misplaced responsibility for real
friend TO assume. Undoubtedly 1t IS a
friends duty and privilege to stand up
for us when some one begins to criti
cize. But when it comes to starting
trouble by repeating something that is
too trivial to be dangerous, but too
pointed to be taken as a joke, cannot
see that there is anything loyal or
| kindly about it.
Perhaps you know a girl pretty well.

Curly's wooden face told nothing OF

be game. Good or bad. the last test of
a man is the way he takes his medi-
cine. So now young Fiandrau ate his
dinner with a hearty appetite, smoked
cigarettes impassively. and occasional

and rs a matter OF course. Deep with
in him was terrible feeling Of sick
ness at the disaster that had over
play the gutter.

riders from the Bar Double n reached

tify him as the horse thief. The two
were Maloney and Kite Bonfis. neither
