RECORDS HUMIDITY IN AIR
Both Temperature and "LiVablIitY" Shown by Twin Thermometer
 Likely to Become Popular,

Sensations of heat or cold, as ex- perienced by a normally healthy per son. are caused almost entirely by the condition of the surrounding atmosphere. If 1t is still, damp, and about 75 degrees or more in temper -ature, feeling of disagreeable heat and oppression results; while if of the same temperature, but dry and in moderate motion, no discomfort Is felt. The reasons for this are that dry, moving air takes away bodily heat about as rapidly as it is gen erated, while damp, still air does not, explains a writer In Popular Mechanics Magazine.
 Therefore in designing an instru- ment to determine whether atmOs- pheric conditions are conducive to bodily comfort, other factors than temperature must be taken into account. For this reason the ordinary dry-buIb thermometer is unreliable and has been supplemented by another instrument of the so-called wet-bulb type, in which the bulb is inclOsed in q fabric mesh bag which keeps 1t damp. To use. both bulbs are i'm mersed in hot water until they register no degrees. They are then removed, and the time required for each to drop 10 atmospheric temperature noted The wet bulb will always cool more rapidly than the dry one. This difference in cooling rates serves to index the degree of comfort one should be experiencing. as it roughly indt- cates the moisture in the air and whether or not air Is in motion.

Jane's Pink Bingham Dress
By BARBARA KERR

 . Mother! Where is my pink ging- ham dress?" demanded Jane Bryant, unanimously entering her mothers room.
 Why, er-what dress?" parried her mother helplessly. as she shipped off a thread.
 Then it's true!" walled Jane dramatically, hopping an angry tear from her cheek. You sent it down to the rummage sale and that hOrrid Ciem Traceter bought it. Mrs. Sands sad he did"
 Well, what if he had, Janey? He wanted to buy something l reckon, to help out the clubhouse fund. What difference does it make? You said the other day you never intended to wear it again. I'd ransacked the house to find something and I thought I might as we'll send that as anything" said her mother sOOthingly.
 Jane and Clem Traceter had quar- reled over politics. Jane declared that she intended to always vote and
 
 and would not surrender 1t to any man just for the sake of being his household drudge.
 Clem at first thought her merely fOOling, but when he found her se- riOus and challenging him to an argu- ment and an expression of his ideas, he said: "WeIl, I guess I am a bit. Old-fashioned, Jane, for I should not want nor would tolerate my wife's going into politics in the strenuous way some of these fighty sisters are doing. l don't think l should ask her to be simply a drudge, though I must confess, Jane, that you were never so charming to me as when I caught you in that pink gingham dress wash ing down the front stairs" "Oh, dare say!' retorted Jane an- grily, 'the utilitar1an did appeal to the man who proposes to regulate his

ROMANCE EVEN IN NEW YORK
Almost the Last Place on Earth One Would Look for It, but 1t To
 There, Nevertheless.

Two New Workers have set up jew eled tablets in a fashionable uptown cafe, where they first met the women who became their wives. The tab lets commemorate the delicious events.
 However incredible this may sound to a race of wives whose husbands for get their wedding anniversaries and public that does not associate fash iOnable cafes with connubial constancy or New York with sentiment, 1t may easily be confirmed by looking in at the grill of the Cafe Beaux-Arts.
 Both memorials are bronze plaques inlaid in the wall in alcoves of the grill and inclosed with glass. The first is set with 8 fiery opal and car-' ries the mystic inscription Happy Dawn, September, 19O6," nothing else. Andre Bustanoby remembers who put it there, but does not say. The other was the work of celebrated local lawyer It ts set with large tur- quoise and engraved, IA, and L. Acre Perennius, MCMIX."

Turning Abruptly She Left Him.

wifes comings and goings, didn't it?" Then turning abruptly she left him standing in the long shady lane lead ing to the village.
 Traceter was angry. His first thought was, If that's the way she feels about married women I'm glad I found it out in time" But better judgment prevailed. He knew that with her rearing, her practical ten dencies, her really domestic nature that she only half way believed what she said.
 They were both determined not to give in, yet each was secretly wishing something would turn up to furnish excuse for their seeing each other or pave the way to a reconciliation when the rummage sale was put on. It engrossed the minds of both women ard men, for the men had to wear all their belongings or keep them under lock and key or be compelled to go tO the rummage and retrieve them.
 Clem was walking past the store room where the sale was held and looked in the window, when he caught sight of James pink gingham with it's perky little bow in the back, hanging on hook.
 "So, she got rid of it because I ad- mired it." he thought bitterly Idly he Sauntered into the store Mrs. Sands. the energetic and gracious salesIady, met him. "SO glad to see you. MT. Traceter. Of course ynu are going to buy a brick for the new clubhOuSe?

 She hastened to make 1t bargain. Ut will be only ten dollars, MT. Trace ter, and I am sure 1t will give you splendid service" "I couldn't think of taking advan- tage of your generosity, Mrs. Sands. I must insist on paying something like the worth of the garment" declared Clem gallantly as he handed her twen- ty-f1ve dollars and received his pack age. Mrs. Sands was jubilant and so pleased with MT. Traceter's manner of carrying off the joke that she hailed Jane as she was driving by next day to tell her how much her pink ging- ham brought. and hadn't she some more old dudsY
 Of course Jane had to pretend in- terest and agree that MT. .Traceter" , was too nice for anything to help out in that way.

from that mother of hers, But her face sobered. She was remembering ,,something. Tn little pocket inside the belt of that pink gingham was a little old locket. That day when scrub ping the stairs she broke the chain, then slipped the locket in the belt for safekeeping.
 ExcitedIy she called, asking her mother if she had taken anything from the dress pocket.
 "Why, no, dear. I didn't know the dress had a pocket. What was 1t? I'll call Mrs Sands. No, I'll call Mrs. Traceter."
 'NO, no, never mind. Don't call any one. It was nothing much, just that little old lOcket I've worn so long. , Let 1t go I promised Mrs. Sands I'd help out some, so I'm going now for i an hour or so."
 When Mrs. Sands again rallied her on the splendid sale of dress, Jane said soberly, DO you suppose he ever i unwrapped that package"
 ''Of course, he did" argued roman tic Mrs. Sands, ''Il bet he hung it right where he can see 1t whenever he goes in his room. But whyY'
 ''Tll tell you, Mrs. Sands, there was a lOcket in the pocket and mother didn't know it'd like awfully to get it back"
 Mercy mel" breathed Mrs. Sands. "Why don't you go right over? I'll go with you and we'll ask Mrs. Trace ter"
 "No, no, not for the world-Clem- we-had a quarrel"
 Well, there's no harm in my asking for It." declared Mrs Sands, 'fOr I didn't sell that, just the dress" But when she went in she found Clem at home and he banteringly re- minded her that he had bought the dress "as is," but that he would get it and she could look it over. "Oh, dear" she murmured.. NO doubt it dropped >Out. Jane will be so sorry for she seems to set a lot of store by the locket or the picture that was in it."
 Clem was sympathetic but nPncOm- initial. He did not say that when he was smoothing the dress out in his CIOS@L ms Hduu SIFuCk lue IluucII pocket and that the lOcket was now safe in his pocket That story was for other ears, and as it was his day to call at Bryants', he would not tell it until evening.
 Jane herself let him in. She was as matter-Of-fact as if he had called regularly every Tuesday right along. After the weather had been respect fully catalogued and laid by, Glenn slowly drew forth the lOcket, "Oh, it didn't get lost after all,' smiled Jane, then she bluShed as she thought of the picture,
 II have wondered a good many times what was in that lOcket," he said softly.

 But Glenn dropped on one knee be- side her chair, caught her hand and, opening the Iocket, laid it in her palm "Of course, I opened 1t, and I ap- proved the contents. He's not much for looks, Jane, darling, but he is all yours, politics or no politics, if you'll only have him."
