UTILIZING THAT HALF HOUR
Average Person Will BE Surprised at
the Amount of Reading Which
IL Can Contain.

What I do venture to press upon
you is, that 1t requires no preterhu-
man force Of will in any young man
or woman-unless household circum-
stances are more than usually vexa-
tious and unfavorable-to get at least
half an hour out of a solid busy day
for good and disinterested reading.
Some will say that this is too much
to expect. and the first persons to
say it. yenture~to predict. will be
those who waste their time most. At
any rate, If I cannot get half an hour,
will be content with a quarter. Now,
In half an hour I fancy you can read
10 or 20 pages OF Burke; or you can
read one OF Wordsworth's master
pieces-say the lines on Tintern; or
say, one-third-if a scholar, in the orig
inal, and If not, in a translation-of
book Of the niad or the Aeneid. 1
do not think that I am filling the half
hour too full. But try for yourselves
what you can read in half an hour.
Then multiply the half hour by 365,
and consider what treasures you
might have laid by at the end OF the
year.-Lord Morley.

pleasing, and are very fashionable this
season. In this dress the tunfc is set
on to a narrow yoke, which extends
above the waist and fastens to the
bodice Two large buttons that re-
peat the cOlOrs used, call attention to
this feature. The tunic is laid in three
deep plaits at each side, giving a
widened hip line and revealing its fac
ing Three-quarter length sleeves and
a Chinese collar are items worth no
ticing in the design.
Navy blue, black. or any of the IA
vOred cOIOrs in silk will look well in
a dress like the trimmed model
pictured. It has three corded Shir-
rings at the waistline where bodice
and skirt are Joined, and a corded tuck
defines the hip line. Elbow sleeves
and a rolled collar high at the back
add two very important style details
to the design. The narrow frillS on
the skirt have picot edges, and there
is a charming lace vest in the bodice.
1t is the only detail of this dress that
is not made of the silk; even the
smart bow at the waist is fashioned
of it.

XTHEN negligees come up for dis
w cusSiOn, the temptation is to
pick out these varied and fanciful ones
that reflect the costumes of other
lands. But there are others Of Amer
lean design that are really better liked
by our own people and that merit the
preference shown them. They are
graceful, dignified. more or less simple
garments, often developed in beautiful
fabrics. They reveal an appreciation
of what can be done with lovely cOlors
when designers are not restricted in
using them 1t is in the realm of neg
ligees that they can give fancy free
play and be more daring than even

some of the new negfigees have &C
ouired so much of it that they might
be easily mistaken for evening dresses
Those made of Iight-cOlored brocaded
silks and satins, like the handsome ex-

first glance as to whether they were
intended to blush unseen by any eyes

Thanks to the dexterity of his
French chauffeur, Fitzhugh was at
facking his morning mail at twenty
minutes past ten. When running
through the fourth letter of the heap
his secretary had opened and laid out
for him he paused suddenly, then sat
Violently back in his chair.

-'could / forget that?"
He meant the first million. While
with Kathleen that morning the

Cured TO him. but always at inoppor-

right time had arrived it slumbered in
the meshes of his mind.
'Tll tell her on Wednesday," he con-

The boy handed him scrap of pa

pencil:
