By HELEN KENDALL INTERESTING HARDWARE

Sometimes think that good taste in home decoration is shown not so much in the choice of beau tiful antique furniture, oriental rugs and eolorful hangings, as it is in the selection of odd. decorative hard vare," remarked woman deco rator who sees the interior of many artistic and inartistic homes.
 So many persons.2who display ex- cel1ent taste in their furnishings, will select the most uninteresting and conventional. hardware" she went on. As matter of fact, the most ordinary door lhay be trans formed by the metalwork if carries and many chest of drawers is spoiled by being fitted with ugly handles or knobs. There is no more fascinating search in all the world of antique things than the hunt for quaint old handwrought iron hinges, old latches, odd brass knockers. curious old foot-scrapers, and pierced brass drawer handles.
 T recently visited an old farm house which had been restored and developed. Everything had been kept in the spirit of It's earlier day-ex- cept the door. That was modern panelled affair with conventional brass knob-and dlock plate. utterly uninteresting. I induced the owner to replace it with an old door of hand-hewn slabs, equipped with very old iron hinges and a charming old iron latch. It made the house look one hundred years older-which was what they wanted.
 The substitution of old Cor mod ernized) glass knobs for the every day brass handles will give many d piece of bedroom furniture an air.

CHAPTER 2;S

The ensuing hour was the kind in which the feminine soul rejoices. A desire to buy was strong upon Wini- fred Scott. This was her opportunity Her father was not here to question the size of her bills Donald Muir might warn her to be economical' but, after all, she was her own mis- tress and her money was hers, not his. The fact that he knew about her fathers affairs did not give him the right to dictate to her.
 She was not yet aware that Muir was her guardian.
 She selected several thin white dresses. a lightweight suit, sport skirt and sundry dainty waists. Then she ordered a long black coat, suit able for motoring or traveling-and two attractive hats.
 T ought to have lots of other things" she reflected as she drove home, but I will wait to get those until my talk with Donald. He will probably understand my need of shoes and gloves better than he would my need of new frocks. A man never knows how many differ ent kinds of dresses woman should have"
 She was late to luncheon. T had numerous things to attend to" was her explanation to Mrs. Bates. Amy way. I am not hungry"

 Then just as Raggedy Ann was washing Raggedy Andys and the Too ack quee's face with her hanky and water from the brook, a queer little old woman came bouncing right out of the tree and snatched d the magic apron right away from Betsy Bonnet String. And before eith- CT Raggedy Ann or the Too ack quee, or Raggedy Andy could take the apron away from the queer little old Eoman. she had popped right back into the tree and closed i. behind Ter.

 Well the old man called 1t off" said Mr. Jarr when he returned.
 Who called what off" asked Mrs. Jarr.
 "The boss. He sent word we could fiv the extra work at the office to- morrow"
 Mrs. Jarr regarded him with an in credulous look. "Too bad your plans fell through" she said. "but never mind Don't try to say more. You might get confused and give yourself away"
 So Mr. Jarr gloomed for an hour till Mrs. Jarr suddenly asked him what he was mad about, sitting around moping that way. as his gambling friends would gather again after the police stopped looking for them, and ne could join them once more.

USE BEAUTY METHODS
Soothing Murmur Of Vacuum Cleaner
 Heard In Stables

CHICAGO, H.. April 14.-The se- duetiVe, soothing, murmur of the vacuum cleaner which draws the dust and dandruff from the heads ot fair women in beauty parlors is now heard in the stables where the best of Chicago's horses are kept. The
 golden sheen on Milady's hair as she walks down the boulevard Mich
 igan is no more pronounced than the glossy tint on the coats of Chi cago's police horses.
 Dr. Frank T. McMahon. q veterl- marian of this city. has installed such machine in the stables where the police horses are kept and also in four other large stables in the city.
 Dr. MeMahon says he got the idea from noticing the cleaning of a woman's hair in the beauty parlor. He hurried to company engaged i'll 1 selling vacuum cleaners and bought one of the kind used for cleaning halls and rooms in hotels. One the end of the hose he attached curry comb device and put this equipment 1 into use on the Chicago police horses. ] Such satisfactory results were oh itained that it was installed in other stables He says that with thls I equipment one man can clean 11
 horses a day more thoroughly ano more satisfactorily than Is possible In any other way.
