lnuE GOLDEN GIPL

Left alone with 11ona, Don Miguel
 stood very stiff and still for a mo- ment, then as she continued to hold
 his eyes with her own wide. green
 ones, he dropped to her side with a
 stif1ed groan, took her hair in his hands and pressed it to his lips, pas
 sionately calling her his Ilona and begging her to forgive him for any,
 thing that he had ever done to make
 her unhappy.
 'tBut you have never made me any,
 thing but happy, Miguel" she ex-
 postulated, taking his hands in hers
 Tt is not you who have made me
 miserable, but this cold, white man, with his high collar. and his worldly manner. What is f1e to me? Surely he does not tell the truth. I. the Princess Ilona. cannot be the daugh- ter of such a man. Tell me. Miguel she pleaded as she clasped his hand | closely.

It was when the clan was passing through | Wellington, even as they do now. lie saw you, fancied you, and you know what the old man was.

Surely he will un- derstand this and leave me alone ?' Alas, dear child, this man is your dather. and the white father has many ideas. He will wish to take

 heart of your adopted people Is a, kind one and that they have loved you and allowed you to grow as all young things should grow-clean and sweet and wild You will remember this about us, Iona, won't you?" he asked, coming close to her, and look ing tenderly into her distressed eyes.
 AfOf course, Miguel But you talk as though I were about to leave you" said Ilona in frightened voice and pulling at his coat sleeve ner-s vously. 'I am still the Princess H. ona- belong to you and yours No law can make me otherwise, everla

ROUNDED ELBOWS

A man said to me the other day that he had never known so many women had ugly elbows until recent ly. '"The worst of it is.'' he said, that most of them are under the de- fusion that their elbows are beauti- full, for they are all wearing short sleeves to show them off,
 Now I have noticed that a mans observations about a woman are usu- ally fairly true, since he has an inn personal point of view. It is a shame that so many women have been wear ing short sleeves the last season or two. It is particularly a shame that they should insist on carrying the short sleeve tashion into their busi- ness clothes. I believe that a buSi- ness girl should dress just as prettily as she can, but object to her wear ing short sleeves to a business office simply because it will ruin the looks of her elbows Leaning bare elbow on hard wooden desk will make it coarse skinned and sharp, rubbing dust and grime into it all day, as must hapepn even in the best of business offices, will only add to the damage.
 So if you want beautiful elbows to display with your pretty and frivolous frocks take care of them and protect them while you are wearing more so- Der garments. Then note these few treatments:
 After the elbows have been scrub bed with hot water and soa,p they can be rubbed with vanishing cream to make them soft and smooth look

Sickness is waste TrHE T,ACHRYMAT nm"


 My boy had a boil on the right side of his nose near the eye when he was but few months old. I took him to the doctar and he said he should have an operation when he was some two or three years old. He is seven now and is still troubled with flowing from the corner of his eye though it is mostly water now. For. years it was yellow pus discharge. It is necessary to take him to a specialist or would any very good doctor be able to operate on it safely? Must he take chloroform? Please tell me if an operation can be avoided as we live far from a large city where Gea1 good doctors are.
 Answer-I can. of course, judge only from your letter. But the ail- ment would seem to be abscess af- fectfng the lachrymal duct, the chan ned going down from the eye socket to the nose. Only an operation will avail and the matter should have been attended to at least five years ago.
 The operation Is quickly performed by an expert physician; after which. from time to time, lachryma1 probes will have to be used to keep the pas sage open. A few whiffs of chloro- form will be neded although a child not very sensitive could have it done under the local application of CO., scaine.
 You seem to be prejudiced about country doctors. There are no better all round men; and the country fam fly doctor is on the whole superior to his city confrere. He has to be be- cause, thrown On his own responsi- bility, he must do, and does well, many a job which the city doctor turns over to a specialist. such as is not easily come by in rural districts. l don't suppose there is a body of

FAME

When Bill Shake smote his b1oomin
 Tyre
 To edify the race, He didn't set the world on fire,
 The world knew not his face. He had to go and sit and fish
 And catch enough to eat; Quite unrepaid was his condish,
 His purse it was deplete, The people used to poke the fun
 At him and give him slams. But now his plays are being done
 By half a thousand hams. They murder Shakespeare every
 night From Halifax to Nome; They chant his lays, not often right.
 From Tolio to Rome. They used to laugh at what he taught
 And said he must be drunk. But still he wrote down every thought That ever has been thunk. They used to think he was a fool To write things for the stage But now his is the greatest school And the dramatic rage.
 Take notice, boys. of old Bill Shake. And what they did to him. Then buckle to your work and make It go with ''pen" and win. ! Don't care what any one may say Don't give it up and sob;

HyDeracidity

 I have for three or four months been suffering from what physicians call hyperacidity.

And yet after all the long treatment the burning sensation is becoming un- bearab1e and the gas is misery. am 53 years of age.
 Answer-Very probably your con- dition is due to excessive nervousness and your doctors are doing all that can be done with medicine. would not presume to advise in such a case, but will merely quote an eminent au- thority: 'Tn elderly persons pre- viously in good health. with stomach symptoms and rapidly developing cancellation, after frequent examina- ton of the gastric contents for sev- era1 weeks, even if no definite signs of cancer are found by the analyses and no tumor is found detectable, expolratory laparotomy is indicated" That is. there should be opening of the abdomen to assure of the true state of things. I know that in one such case a serious internal condition was found.

opposed militant methods
 As the first woman to be nominal ed for the coveted honor of being an extensive lecturer for Oxford Univer- sity Miss Royden made such an ex- traordinary success that it was i'm possible for the university to i'll all her speaking engagements. It was an American, the Rev. Joseph Fort Newton, who formerly occupied the City Temple pulpit in London. who induced Miss Royden tC take up reig- ious duties as his pulpit associate. Because of the opposition of the Eng fish church she has never been or dained and no church is open to her.
 Born to social position and wealth as the youngest daughter of the late Sir Thomas Royden of Frankley Hall, formerly lord mayor of Liverpool Miss Royden from her college days became known as brilliant debater and scholar, early devoting her en- ergies to social problems It is said that she exercises more profound religious influence upon her genera tiOn than any other woman in the country. Miss Royden is the only woman who has been asked to speak on the social evil to the undergrad uates at Oxford University, and she has also addressed men and women's meetings in the church congress at Southampton on the same subject.

1t admits just sufficient air to supple
ment that admitted through the draft
damper and causes more perfect COM
bustion of the fuel. The smokepipe
damper is located between the furnace
and the check draft and can be used
to control the draft above the fuel in
windy weather or at night.
Ashes should not De permitted to
accumulate In the ash pit, as this re-
tards the draft and the heat causes
the CRATE bars to become warped and
bent. AS rule it is not necessary
to shake down the ashes more than
once or twice a day, except in very
cold weather, and shaking should be
stopped as soon as live sparks begin
to fall into the ash pit. In mild
weather coal can be saved by permit
ting an accumulation of ashes in the
CRATE.
Sealing Cracks Saves Heat.
1t is economy to seal the cracks
about doors and windows with wealth
er strips, and where the weather is
unusually cold, storm sash is recon-
mended. With wind velocity of Is
miles an hour a crack of three-thirty-
seconds of an inch, which is much less
than the average for doors and win
dows, permits the passage of about
" cubic feet of air minute for ev-
cry lineal foot. An ordinary double
sash window (36 inches wide and 70
inches high) would thus admit 80 Gu
bic feet of air a minute. In a room
10 feet wide by 20 feet long, having
two windows of this kind, there would
be required approximately so per cent
more heat units to heat it properly
than if the entrance of the air was
controlled and a complete change al
lowed once every hour.
In addition to maintaining a proper
temperature, the moisture present in
the air is great factor in heating
homes. The water pan in the furnace
should always be kept filled, and 9TH
er means provided for the evaporation
of water in the living room. Not only
are rooms in which the air has a high
percentage of moisture more econom-
ically heated, but living conditions are
more healthful.
