my lodgings in the town, when young
gentleman named Malerain, who, though
not Scot, was yet one of the Scotch
body-guard sat down at my table to
share bottle with me.
More amusement at the palace" he
said to me. "To think that, any one Of
these nights. | may be compelled to use
force against the person of the King $
brother, and that some day he may be
King! wonder if be will then bear
malice?'
.'What is the new trouble at the
Louvre?' | asked
''It is only the old trouble. Monsieur
has been mutterlng again, suppose, and
this, with the fact that Busy dam
boise keeps so quiet outside of Paris, has
led the King to fear that Monsieur has
planned to escape to the country. At
least. it has been ordered that every
member of the Dukes household, who
does not have to attend at his retiring,
must leave the palace at night. and
Messieurs de rArchant De Losses, and
the other captains, have received orders
from the King that, if Monsieur at
.cmpis TO 90 out after dark, he must be
stopped. Suppose IT becomes my duty
20 stop him. That will be pleasant, will
il not? To make il worse, | am devoted
to certin damsel who is devoted to
Queen Marguerite, who is devoted to
Monsieur, her brother. And here ] am
inviting misfortune, too, by drinking
vine on the first Friday il Lent. ought
TO have followed the example OF the
King, who has been doing penance all
day in the chapel of the Hotel de
Bourbon"
Let US hope that the King viii be re-
warded for his psnance by the submls-
sion OF Monsieur. /, for one, hope that If
Monsieur attempts TO get away, he will
run across some Scotchman of the Guard
who will not serlple to impede prince
of France. For If he should lead Hugue
not army against the King, |, as one OF
the Guards, might be called on to OPP
pose my fellow-Protestants.
"Oh, the Duke does not wish TO join
the Huguenots All he desires is to 60 to
the Netherlands, where throne awaits
him il he will do little fighting for it,"
Il fear he would rather revenge him
self on the hing for what he has had 10
endure at court,
Presently Malerain left to 60 on duty
at the Louvre, and soon followed, TO
take up my station in sight of the win
dow where Mile. d 'Arency slept. The
night, which had set in, was very dark,
and gusts of cold wind came up from the
Seine. The place where, in my infatua-
ton and sffectation, | kept my lover
watch, was quite deserted. The Louvre
loomed up gigantic before me, the lights
cleaning feebly in a few of its many
windows, serving less to relieve its SOM
bre aspect than 10 suggest unknown.

First.
When you pack your trunk for your
summer outing tuck thereir amongst
your chiffons and your frills, the man
tie of gracious manners. the stays of
discretion. the cloak OF modesty, the
Jewels Nof cheerfulness, and the orna-
ment of a sweet and gentle spirit.
So shall you keep the spot light Of
public attention centered upon you,
for there be many girls who are rest
ful TO the eyes, and many more who
are not sports, and not a few who are
sock artists, but in these days a girl
who is real lady and considerate of
other people is a museum piece, con-
cerning whom every one makes in
quiries. We are all interested in rari-
ties.
Second.
Dress well, but not too well. Fine
feathers make fine birds. and a wo-
mans clothes are the fame that sets
OF her beauty. True. but don't make
the mistake of having the frame so
expensive looking that it appears pro-
hibitive TO the average masculine be-
holder. Also avoid giving the impress
sion that you have spent all the brains
you have on picking out the frame
Many 4 girl does herself out of a
good husband by being operdressed.
She looks like q daily Hint from Paris.
So, after observing the number and
variety Of her toilettes, a man does
little figuring anc comes to the con-
clusion that his salary would just
about keep her in fancy shoes, and he
doesn't relish the prospect of spending
his life toiling TO enrich miIliners and
dressmaker; he drops out of the run
ming and leaves some poor simp to
qualify for the office of her bin payer.
The man who likes TO be seen about
with girl whose glad raiment makes
every one rubber, is seldom the mar
rying man. He who is looking for a
wife picks out some little bundle of
dry goods that isn't put up in such
a fancy package and hasn't an i'm
ported label upon 1t.
Third.
Watch your step. Particularly in
the good old summertime. which melts
down our morals and our morale even
as il does your collars and when we go
negligee I'm both clothes and conduct.
Heaven knows why, but we do things
in August that we would be utterly
incapable of doing in December.
OF course summer is the silly sea-
son, but reflect that a woman's silli-
ness is her undoing more often than
her sins are. It's Folly instead of
the Devil that leads girls into doing
things they spend the balance of their
lives repenting. Therefore watch out
fnF aff f,f
and when you find yourself listening
10 some married man telling you how
lonesome he is while his wifes away.
and how it would cheer him for you
to take a little excursion with him or
spend evenings with him at some road
house. take a look at the calendar.

water. "but / like better 10 come
here than anywhere" Greylie told
them.
When it was time for the Cliff
Fairies 10 go home Greylie found that
tht big waves were not coming close
TO the sand. but the FAIRIES told her
not TO fret; they would wheel her in
the gold cart TO the very water edge.
and, indeed, they had to carry her sc
far that every little Fairy was drip
ping wet by the time Greylie was again
on the top Of a wave large enough 10
carry her home,
Il hope your mothers will not scold
YOU" said Greylie. 1T is all my fault
that you are sc wet, ard / shall never
forget how kind you have been TO me
shall come early in the morning on
the first big wave"
Greylie waved goodbye, but long
before the sun was up the FAIRIES saw
her Again-at least Pepper did, for
it was tc Pepper she gave the warn
ing that saved tn. gold.
Continued Tomorrow.

WHY?
WHY Does Fog Deadcn soundf
Copyright. 1922 By
Wheeler syndica &c. Inc.


As we know by experience that
sound travels with far greater rapidity
through water than through the air
practically three times as fast. in
fact-and as fog Is composed Of par
tio1es of moisture suspended in the
air, it would appear that sound ought
to 60 further through. a fog than
through dry air. while the reverse is
actually the case. This apparent dis
crepency is due TO the fact that the
particles of moisture. being in the
form of a vapor set as a sort Of
shock-absorber for the waves Of sound
damp blanket which impedes their
progress while, in the case of water.
the same moisture is solid and quite
dense, thus transmitting the sound
waves very clearly.
Much the same thing Is TO be OBJ
served in the sound Of a pistol, fired
at sea level on a cold clear day and
on a mountain top. In the first in
stance the sound Is sharp and far
reaching, for the air is dense and
free from moisture. But when we
reach higher altitude, the air is thin
ner and more rarified. Therefore the
sound waver are by no means as dis
tinct, nor do they carry as far. Fog
or vapor Of any kind has a similar
affect in that it diminishes the density
of the air and therefore checks the
progress Of the wave made by the
original sound.

Fourth.
Speak with honey on your tongue to
the rocking chair brigade on the hotel

whom the other pretty girls snub.
Many a fat old lady who rocks and
knits is social arbiter in her home

duckling has a good looking brother

Fifth.
Don't be piggish Don't be one of
the girls who grab every man who
comes along, and who would die before
she would introduce a man 10 another
girl. Every man steers clear of the
girl who tries to monopolize him. and
from whom he has difficulty in free
