TOday's, s, Short Story

i Roseville. You see," her smile vanished and a thoughtful look settled on her sweet face, "the old friends are so dear that we haven't much time for the new acquaintances. City folks seem different, they are always rushing to some amusement and we like to read and discuss the new books and"
 But, Mary" Marvin was thinking of phrases used by the other girl, Edna, who liked to dance half through the night, after all we're only young once, and why not play now? 1 thought tonight we'd go to some swell place to dance, but you didn't dress-that is oh, well, this is very nice"
 The dreams fled from the girls face and there was a new dignity in the poise of the yellow head. "Yes, this is very nice. Of course, 1t is natural for youth to dance, but. for quiet folks like us, the cost of evening gowns is thing to be considered. If I bought extrava- gantly would not be able to save any thing and Eve like to keep our apart ment nicely and have books. often skate over here evenings, the young people from the office come here and we go back to our place for hot chOco- late afterward and we put a dance rec ord on the photograph then and dance, but" again came the note of dignity in the girlish manner-"we all know each other. do not care to make chance acquaintances."
 Marvin chose to feel affronted at the plain speech and it was early when he left Mary at her door. "I'll just trot over to Edna's flat, it's only o'clock, still time enough for real good time. No use coming to the city to stroll around a park" he decided, wish ing he had not detected the surprised, grieved expression in Mary's eyes.
 Edna is home, but" The words were interrupted by the swift batter of feet, but Edna was not fleet enough to escape Marvin's quick eyes. She had been lying in nest of pillows in the shabby couch and her usual beauty was conspicuously absent. A spotted kimona was gathered hastily about her and her black hair was rough and dis. ordered.
 Looking embarrassed, Edna's mother ushered him in and leaned down to pick ] up the magazine. Politely the guest

Teach The Child Proper Table .
 Manners

TT is not easy for the energetic boy
 or girl to sit quietly at the table
 throughout a meal, and indulgent mothers often serve the children re- gardless of the course the rest of the family may be consuming. This is not advisable and the wise mother will in- sist upon her children patiently await ing the regular serving of each course.
 The table conversation should al- ways be of a pleasant nature and such as the children can take part in. Then, if they have been taught to eat slowly and thoroughly masticate their food, the interval between courses will be no bore to them.
 If correct table manners are strictly enforced at each meal, there will be no embarrassment for the mother when guests are present. The child thus trained will be spared many uncoW- fortable situations when dining out.
 It is a pretty custom to require the boys of the family to seat their sis ters at the table, and the four-year-old will eagerly forestall daddy in seating mother.
 Impress upon the little folks that it is bad manners to leave the spoon in the cup when drinking. It should be placed in the saucer. Do not allow them to clutch the spoon or fork in the fist, and as soon as a child uses the knife teach him to hold it by the handle only, resting the forefinger on the dull edge of the blade. Show him how to raise the fork or spoon later ally and not at right angles to the mouth. See that he keeps the knife on the plate (at the side) when not in use, and be sure the knife and fork are left on the plate before children leave the table.
 Other little items of table etiquette that you can install are the crackers and bread should not be put into the soup but eaten from the fingers. A knife should not be used on potatoes except when pairing is necessary. The fork should be used for cutting and mashing potatoes. Bread should be taken with the fingers, not the fork. The boy or girl with faultless table manners always places a high estima- tion upon his or her mother in the opinion of those with whom they are dining, so any efforts along that line are quite worth all the patience and persistence the task demands.

PUTS BAN ON SHARKS FINS
Chinese Governor Says Delicacy ls From Boston And Not Real Thing

Chinese Governor Says Delicacy Is
 From Boston And Not Real Thing
 From now on sharks fins, together with another Chinese dish famous the world over, will be eliminated from the menu in all future official functions given by the authorities of Tsingtao in line with the idea of Governor KaoEn- hung on the subject.
 His excellency declares that sharp's fins and birds nests are superfluous luxuries which should be eschewed by the Chinese. Half of the people partak- ing of them do so more for the sake of displaying their opulence than for any thing else, whereas the other half have not the rnmotest appreciation of them other than an artificial one. Accord ing to the governor, the first men tioned delicacy is n'ither shark nor fin. This statement has opened quite good deal of discussion amongst con- noisseurs of Chinese dishes and no less sensational is the affirmation that If it weren't for Boston, Mass, there would be no sharks fins as merely an item in inexplicable orientalia. So, therefore. when a Chinese expert pro ceeds to tell us that sharks fins as list ed on Chinese menus are neither shark nor fin," we ought to be forgiven for sitting up and taking notice of it. Ac- cording to the doctor, sharks fins" are s'bits of swordfish, delicate portions under the giant fins carefully scraped and fashioned dexterously by hand into the patterns of fins" But anyhow Mir. Kao is. keen on giving it a wide berth, in company with birds nests, when giving official functions.

KEY TO HAPPY MARRIAGE
COmradeship Is Best Help In Storn
 Af life WritAr Says

COmradeship Is Best Help lin Storms
 Of Life Writer Says If you ask half dozen friends which quality is most likely. to make for hap. piness in marriage you will probably receive half a dozen different replies And all will be Illuminating.
 The man much occupied with busi ness may regard common sense as supremely important. An imaginative woman will tell you that sympathy is the first essential, while less sensitive minded woman suggests good temper. The grace of cheerfulness, the benedic- tion of that ordinary" kindness which because sJ rare, is so extraordinary, the sunshine of a merry nature, the tender appeal of unselfishness-all these quail ities make for happiness in marriage.
 But what is the final test? Which of all the varied characteristics of human nature is, if developed and cherished, most likely to bring enduring happi- ness in marriage?
 The answer is to be found in an ob- servation not of very new marriages but of those which have known years of storms, of disappointments, of disillu- sions. In happy marriages which might so easily have been unhappy, is it not the power of being companionable which has kept husband and wife together ?
 Marriages have often come to a tragic end because the man and the woman have not learned to be friends. In a marriage where the joys of companions ship have been incompletely realized, a disappointment in marriage as such may lead to permanent estrangement. But where there is real friendship, happy companionship, joy in doing things to- gether, the desire to continue a great comradeship may prove stronger than the wish to end a disappointing mar riage.
 Modern women expect much more from life than their mothers expected. I am always surprised and little en- vious when, reading the novels of the latter Victorian days, find how con tented women were with little happi- ness. They made a little joy go long way.
 The women of today might take les son from those unconscious heroines. If marriage as a romantic relationship has proved a disappointment, there is inspiration and refuge in the knowl- edge that a friendship between hus- band and wife may be the most beau tiful relationship in the world, becom- ing a more lasting bond than the mar riage tie itself.-Jane Taverner in the Continental Edition of the London Mail.

% CHAPTER 15D A CHE tried to put this dread into tactful form now. "If-if-father
 should be worse-or anything she began.
 Marian interrupted her brusquely. If he should be the least bit worse you are to telegraph me immediately--un- derstand? Promise me that!
 Il promise" Lois consented. And if-if-for instance-there is need for money-I mean if for any reason we run short of ready cash"
 She floundered hopelessly. Marian came to her relief suppressing the de- sire to speak impatiently. :
 "I will send you a check every week. I am leaving enough money with you to run things until get my first pay"
 "Well, if. any unexpected emergency develops! < will wire you," Lois said.
 "Yes." ~
 The suggestion that some emergency might arise had put Marian's unspoken fears into tangible form. Suppose she should not find work in New York? Suppose
 She shook her head. She, had put her hand to the plough. She must Mot look back.

 She waited until George Dixon's car was at the door to take her to the sta tion before she entered her fathers room alone. Closing the door, she went to him and laid her head on his pillow. She had only moment to spare. She was glad of this, for she would have broken down had she more time in which to think.
 Goodbye, my darling, my darling !" she whispered. Then she pressed her full red lips to the thin, pale ones in a long kiss.
 Il will come right back to you at any minute yon need me" she mur- mured passionately.
 Without backward glance she ran from the room and downstairs. In the lower hall was Lois and, be. side her, the Rev. Harold Sumner. q understood that you were going today" he explained, ''so stopped ir just to bid you goodbye and to wish you good luck"
