Chapter 57
 Lois was already at the door leading into the hall. "I must run up and make myself presentable," she explain ed. Tt won't take long to change my dress"
 Marian's lip curled slightly. "very well," she said. "Hark! there's the door bell now! I will have time to explain the disagreeable features of the situation to Mir. Sumner before your return. So you will be spared the embarrassment of that ordeal"
 Her sarcasm did not move Lois. You're the best one to talk to him about it." she remarked as she hurried away. You are so much less nervous than I am."
 Marian waited until her sister had reached the turn in the stairs before opening the door to her caller.
 Come, right in, please" she said, without preliminary greeting, T was expecting you"
 The clergyman followed her into the living room. Here she closed the door and faced him.
 Il know all about, the money my father borrowed from the church funds" she said, her voice steady, her eyes looking directly into the minister's compassionate face. livery cent of it will be paid back. give you my promise. Just let mel mean my sister and me-lsave aflittle time and it will all be returned, with interest The payments will be regular"
 My dear child" Harold Sumner in- terposed, taking a quick step toward her. Do not fancy for a moment that I doubt that. understand the situa- tion entirely"
 "Wait!" she commanded, waving him back want you to tell me that you know my father meant to return that loan immediately; that, had he not been taken i'll, he would have done this" &
 'sof course, I know it." he said promptly.
 .'And,p she went on, "you know that he is an honorable gentleman who would defraud nobody?"
 II am sure of it,n he replied. My dear" taking both her hands in his, T cannot bear to have you unhappy Iwould do anything within my power to help you"
 She returned his gaze without finch ing. "If that is so," she said, prom ise me that nobody but you and MT. Banscombe shall ever know that Dad borrowed that money"
 II promise" he declared solemnly.

 Only the other day Q girl shed tears because she failed in the algebra test. An uncle chanced to come in at the opportune time. The girl sobbingly ad- mitted she did not understand the first thing about algebra" and she couldn't see any sense anyway in girls taking algebra" The uncle patiently cleared away the mists. The, girl became in- terested and now that she understands equations and the other algebraic prob- lems that seemed 50 impossible to her she is enthusiastic. She thinks it great sport to work mathmatics with letters and she declares A will be her mark in algebra every month until June. when she hopes to pass the regents" with honor. =

 A boy in the seventh grade was bring ing home the most unsatisfactory re. ports. in arithmetic. Reprimands and threats of parents availed nothing. One day a guest asked the boy for his arith- metic work of that day and he soon dis covered there were several errors in division. He was amazed to find the boy did not understand long division at all. He took the boy in hand and an hour later the excited lad exclaimed, '.Oh, now see through it. Why, that's easy" And he eagerly worked several examples to prove his proficiency. The parents were surprised that ''such a little thing should make such big diff ference in the; boys reports"

out the eastern states, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and O.

we find them in those industries
i'm which physical strength, COM
.bined with an utter disregard Of
risks, are required from those who
engage therein. Unlike the immi-
grants from the United Kingdom,
they do not know the language OF
the land, and are handicapped by
his disadvantage. Yet they come
here, settle down, bring their fam
lies over, buy homes, build their
churches, and develop into very

Printed Dress Pattern Arrives
BY MARY MARSHALL.

some of these specially printed ma
terials At the French exposition
held in this country several months
ago there were several Vionnet frocks
showing the use of printed crepe
with a printed sash bow at the back.
Some of the new printed dress pat
terms are made with the hem line
slightly curved, SO as to make it pos
Sible to cut the skirt with a slight
circular fare and still have the bor-
der for the hem of the right shape.
With other lengths that are made
for perfectly straight, tubular frock S
the hem border is perfectly straight.
Undoubtedly the present mode is
quite favorable to the development of
most charming materials printed in
this way. More and more we are
eliminating trimming from our frocks,
depending on the color and design of
the material for decoration more
than on superadded trimmings. Since
women demand lightness and scorn
anything in the way of unnecessary
bulkiness in frocks. this is obviously
an advantage. A border achieved by
colorful' printing at the hem of a
frofi is obviously preferable, under
thR present mode, to border achieved
by banding of ribbon or braid.
The sketch shows how these silks
are printed and how they are used.
For other types of frocks, of course,
the banding and other design would
be differently disposed.

Stretching Dress Dollars.

Do you know how to make a dol
lar do the work of two" when it
comes to clothes? Or have you
friend whose magic touch makes
twenty-five dollars seem to do the
work of fifty?
Since it is estimated that women
influence so per cent of the textile
huy1nS of the country, it behooyes
them to study carefully the subject of
clothes economy. While it is diff
cult always to make the dollar actu-
ally double It's value. yet a small sum
after clothes does often accomplish
more than much larger one in the
hands of q careless woman.
The first principle in clothes econ
omy is to keep accounts and have a
clothing budget. Such d budget will
eliminate sudden, thoughtless ex-
travagance and will mean that the
shopper spends money for clothes
only after determining the needs of
the year in relation to the money at
hand
The first step in determining those
clothing needs for the year is OBJ
servation of the ancient rule, Sec
what you have at home" That
ton Of your wardrobe. but a search
through drawers, trunks and out-of
the-way closets. where garments and
textiles might otherwise be forgotten
for years. Such fabrics and clothing
may save you many a dollar which
would otherwise be spent for new
material, and it may also influence
your decision as to what to buy.
When you are ready to buy, the
first essential is that you understand
the distinction between the words
cheap" and inexpensive" A cheap
article in the end may prove most
expensive, for, being Of ow-grade
material and workmanship; it will

chance to sink deep down beneath
