When a Zion City family goes

STILL BOW TO SHAKESPEARE
Writer Points Out FaIlacy Of Idea
That There Is Any Waning OF
Admiration for Him.

Is 1t, then, true that "at no time in
our literary history was the English
public, as represented by its critics
and leaders of taste, less qualified to
admire and celebrate William Shake
speareT Is 1t true that never before
has his fame been 80 low or so con-
fusedT" My own answer would be
that never before have Shakespeare
critics been so generally enlightened,
his eNential potencies so clearly felt.
his fame so secure, and his contempo-
raneity so obvious. says Karl Young
in the North American Review. And
this good fortune arises in large meas
ure, think, from the fact that in
these times readers of his plays are
more directly fixing their attention
where Shakespeare certainly fixed his.
If we are losing interest In those
vexed inquiries as TO when Macbeth
first conceived the murder, why Emelia
was silent about the handkerchief, and
why Hamlet pretended madness, we
are the more direct and ardent in our
attention to Macbeth, Desdemona, and
Hamlet themselves.

plans IL will be seen that these rooms
correspond In size with those on the
first floor. giving the family two rather
large front bedrooms and two smaller
rear bedrooms.
Viewed from almost any angle OF
what is most desirable In a home
building design II will be seen that
this is an exceptional one. The from
view OF the house Is attractive; the
broad. deep porch makes for summer
comfort; the interior arrangement Ia
good; all the modern home convent
ences are Installed and. what is most
important TO the average person, the
cost OF the house is comparatively low.
Eight rooms, FIVE Of which are bed
rooms, provide for larger than the
ordinary family, making this an ex.
ceptionally economical plan from
which the man with family larger
than the usual may build.

The old-fashloned two-story house,

sitting broadslde to the street, was not

pitched roof with gables at either end,

There were thousands of such houses

reason for such houses-econOmy In

AS spring advances, as buds open, as
tiny caterpillars and grubs emerge
from the egg, come the hosts of

80 per cent of the tiny caterpillars

queath a person the sum OF one shil-

an English point of law. Formerly
will in which the heirs name was not

allghted TO help Laura in.

"will you sit in the back seat or in

II would give her an opportunity to
carry on her investigation.
Before they had gone n mile Uncle
Fred introduced himself as F. d.
Graves. and Laura recalled the name
as that of one OF the liberal sub.
scrlbers TO the home. He told her OF
his errand TO town. Olive, the nurse
for his two orphan nleces, had given
notice. He was going to town to try
and get some one to take her place.
But they are getting too old for
a nurse" he said. "What I want is
an educated young woman who can
act as governess. / don't know exactly
how TO go about It,"
"Do you ever see the Home
Newsr" suggested Laura. "You might
find an advertisement there or you
might insert one in the help wanted
column"
But Fred Graves politely scofred
at this idea. He never read that
paper, he said. II was full OF foolish
local gossip that didn't interest him.
At least, thought Laura, there was
no danger that he had seen his little
nlece's advertisement. II would have
grieved him to know that she was so
lonely. Laura did not want TO explain
her own identity, but when Mr.. Graves
asked her where he should leave her
she had to say the Children's Home,
and this meant an explanation OF her
connection with II.
"Would you permit me to stop at
the home to see your" asked Mr..
Graves as they neared the home. "If
/ am unsuccessful in finding a COVER
ness l may cone to you for advice"
Back again in the routine of the
work at the home, Laura thought OF
nothing but her adventure. She ex-
planned the situation to the matron,
begging her not to let the 'lady
managers" know that It had been the
niece Of Mr.. F. ID. Graves who had
inserted the advertisement. That
afternoon Laura went to the Office OF
the "Home News" and requested them
to discontinue the advertisement. This
they did although a dollar bill had
been sent with the childish scrawl and
this would have paid for the adver-
tisement for few days more.
When Laura returned, Mr.. Graves
was waiting for her In the bare re-
ceptlon room of the children's home
Before he had left he had asked her
If she would come as governess TO his
nieces and she had accepted.
Within month she had made her
adleus at the home and was very
comfortably established in her new
position. Every one agreed that II
was splendid place for motherless
girl like Laura. CONSERVATION reigned.

Laura was married TO Mr.. +. d.

first met her.
