Decorating With Only ALittle
 Furniture
By ELAINE MASON

ny ELAINE NlASUN
 WHERE are some houses or apart
 ments one goes into that are very
 attractive and smart looking, with certain simple dignity, and sound vel. come that seems to come from the, open spaces instead of from the things in the rooms. So many places are so crowded with furniture, antiques and drapery that one feels that there is no need for human occupation. The furniture takes up all the space and dwarfs and shames the occupants. Furniture really should be more nattering to us poor mortals than it is, and so the room furnished sparingly is often more pleasant and more cozy and flattering than any other.
 One person I know furnished whole apartment with large couch, two small chairs, wicker chair, homemade book shelves, screens, two tiny rugs and a kitchen table. All the rest of the place was made most amazingly restful and peaceful with light walls, curtains lanterns, black woodwork and carpen' try, painted flower pictures all over and just heaps and heaps of bright blue ing of quiet and human understanding
 
 of flowers. These things. small as they seem, are vitally important. Stick to nature and you can't go wrong.
 There is a corner of room that had been veryA plain and unattractive. The walls were papered light yellowish tan and the woodwork is white. But the bookcase was dark and dingy and the old armchair, comfortable as anything was stupidly covered with woods and birds" effect tapestry in deep muddy shades that looked unappetizing. There was dark brown floor and a general little time the place was miraculously changed into happy, brilliantly cozy room. a7~S
 First, the woodwork and bookcase and window frames were painted clean, fresh cream color that did not make the wall paper look so dusty as the old white paint had, and the brown floor was changed to brilliant black enamel and covered with a large checked cream and blue straw rug. Then the little old tables were either polished and oiled, or If the wood was hopeless, painted bright blue. Brass candlestieks and plenty of white wax candles were placed III ONCAJ COACCAFdDIc pldCe, anu DdD6f lampshade of amusing designs were made to take the place of the old tan silk affairs that held the dust and look cd morbid. Glazed cretonne with a cream colored background and huge orange and yellow and lavender flowers was used to do the rest of the change. Big scallops bound with blue tape made the valances at the windows and form ed full ruffle around the seat of the old chair that was entirely hidden be. heath its new dress. Between the long side curtains were seat curtains of yellow tarlton edged with blue rickrack
 The circular motif of the scallop and round flowers was repeated by using round mirror in blue frame over the bookcase and couple of odd plates as wall decoration. Round glazed bowls for flowers were placed here and there and glimmered in brilliant blues and reds and blacks from beneath the leaves of the heapsd flowers. Then the old standby cushions were placed whenever an extra touch of color was . needed and sunshine and open win dows did the rest.

CHAPTER 7S

CHATTER 7S WYE went on to the next town and w there waited for our train to
 overtake us with our baggage. In the morning Anna and took walk to the station to make inquiries. A train drew in as we stood there and Manville got off. Regardless of on- lockers he drew me into his arms and kissed me again and again. Then he embraced Anna. Thank God you are all safe!" he murmured over and over.
 But how did you know" asked when we were back in the little room at the. hotel.
 There was list of both injured and uninjured in the paper. Forgive me, Susan, but I thought you had gone with-Lawson Mckee. His name was directly under yours and Annals in the list. But last night he hunted me up and told me where he had left you. Told me some other things, too; things to which am surprised that listened calmly. And, Susan, will you forgive me and come back-yOu and Anna"
 "I isn't Anna no more. Pse pet, cause mamma said so"
 "Oh, yes you are, Anna. Don't you want to come home with father!'
 No, I 'ants to stay wiv mamma. And I isn't Anna, I tells 'ou, 1 is pet ]"
 What does she mean?" almost laughed at the expression on Manville's face. It was truly comical and sad at the same time.
 "Why, I have called her pet. You know l always wanted to give her a baby name" would not tell him 1 would not call her "Anna." If I did he would at once associate it with my feeling for lis aunt. And she has taken it seriously as her name"
 He said nothing, but peculiar gleam in his eyes told me that little incident had in some way hurt him.
 Susan, I read your letter. Not once, but two or three times. Have 1 really made you as unhappy as you say? Are all these charges against me true2 Why, I meant to be good to you. I only did what thought it my right to do as the head of the house. was brought up to believe that there could be only one"

I was not only miserably unhappy, but was fast los ing all my personality, my identity al most. should soon have been unable to see any one, go anywhere. 1 had no opinions, no liberty of speech or action.

I loved you, Manville, when I married you-at least I never had felt the same toward any one else. l.would have been willing to do and be any thing had you been kinder to me. But you drove me from you; made me con- stantly feel the weight of your dis pleasure never the joy of knowing I had pleased you. Then, when Anna came"
 "Is'e pet-I is,' Anna interrupted, pulling at my dress. Gall me pet, mamma"
 Yes, pet Now play with dollie while father and mother talk

 But out loud she said "Munga, when the house on wheels passes you had better get back out of the way. It may run over you !''. And Munga, wish ing to do the same thing AIinga had planned, said the same thing to Minga.
 Each witch thought the other would hop out of the way and she alone would jump upon the front porch and capture the Raggedys.
 So, instead of either witch hopping out of the way when the house on wheels came to them, both witches gave leap and tried to catch on to the porch.
 Neither witch had ever tried to do anything like this and they were sur prised when they both hit the side of the house "kerplunk :" and went rolling off to one side into the ditch

 q 'spect it bumped their heads pretty hard !' the hobby horse said as he came out on the porch. Tt sound ed just as if someone hit large barrel with sack of potatoesw da
 And looking back our friends could see the two witches limp to the center of the path and after shaking their fists at the Raggedy Raggedys, begin quar- relling with each other.
 Anyway P Raggedy Ann said, q have wished for some orange ice in the ice box, so we will just have that to eat out on the front porch v
 So she ran to the ice box and brought out the lovely orange ice and they passed very large dish up to the nice poor man on the roof, for they knew he would enjoy it too.

But I couldn't write some things. could only show you how miserable I was and let you see I could not retain any self=respect and go on."
 Will you go. back -andl trS again, Susan? cant promise to change my nature all at once, but will do my level best to atone. Why, I never dreamed you felt so deeply about the house, servants and such things"

Secretary Value Is In Keeping
 Confidence
Rv RJJTH LEIGH

A WELL KNOWN bank official A made this remark to me recently :
 When l am choosing a secretary there is one quality that look for above others that many hold important. It is the ability of young woman in bus mess to hold her tongue and to be close-mouthed when necessary"
 This banker went on to explain to me that in his line of work particularly (and almost every executive in every line thinks this), it is essential that certain matters of business, or even personal matters in which a private secretary assists, be kept confidential.
 T have had many capable assistants" he told me. Young women who may in every other respect have made ex- cellent private secretaries, but learned from direct and indirect sources that they used to discuss with the other young women in the office private and confidential matters which l did not care to have known throughout the staff"
 That, according to this banker, is the acid test of worth while private secretary, whether when she is told that a matter is confidential, she can keep it confidential. This official told me that he had a secretary now who, in some respects, was not all that was to be desired, but she did possess this very desirable trait of being able to keep her mouth closed when necessary. "If l tell her that a certain matter must be kept confidential, wild horses cannot drag 1t from her."
 I think this is a matter worth think sun oh xyh ath0P nrlVlfe secretary, a bookkeeper. or in any job. I have found that there is too much bandying around offines of confidential affairs, and that behind-door gossiping is frequently the cause of office 'upsets, misunderstanding and really serious situations that arise in business life.
 Girls; don't be loose-tongued. That trait may be all right for housewitey, over-the-fence gossips, but 1t isn't part of the modern business girls equip ment. Know when to keep things quiet. If you haven't anything to say, other than to gossip about folks in the office or about confidential matters that are intrusted to you as part of your Job, don't say anything.
 It is these lOose-tongued office folk who don't know how to keep con- fidence who make it hard for other really serious business women to win trust. You may be tempted to impart bit of juicy" gossip to some one of the staff, but stop a minute and ask yourself it it's going to help you any. Warn yourself that it may get you in trouble to tell tiff not now, some other time. Even if the other person swears and promises never to breathe a word,"-don't tell it. Know how to keep a confidence.

dlu not, ana they tried every way they could think of to get ahead of each other so that they might take Raggedy Ann's two magical books.
 The two magical books Raggedy Ann owned were so magical, they told how to make almost anything anyone could think of. All Raggedy Ann had to do was to read in the magic books and find out how to work the magic to get anything. She had made the magical house on wheels that way and had made the nice new wagon with red wheels which was still hitched to the hobby horse.
 The Raggedys were sitting in rocking chairs out on the front porch watching the scenery as they rolled along and, just as they came around a bend in the path, there stood the two witches, Ming aand Munga.

The Raggedys, Rag.

The Raggedys, Rag gedy Ann and Rag gedy Andy, were very glad to get their magi- cal house on wheels for their very own again, for you will re. member that Minga and Munga Witch had captured the house. But of course, the two old witches, being selfish persons, had quarrened over who should take Raggedy Ann's two magical books away from her and had fallen from the front porch of the house on wheels and were way back in the woods somewhere.
 | At least, the Rag gedys hoped the two mean witches were away back somewhere. Il hope the witches get tired of chasing us and return to their own homes !" Raggedy Andy said.
 "So do Iw the magical hobby horse said. We could have ever so much fun if they did not bother us and keep us from hay ing adventures '"

Is Report,

When the psychological moment

swing into life at the Democratic
national convention in New York.
This is the word that came from
Indiana leaders at the convention to
United States Senator Samuel NJ.
Ralston at his residence, "HoosieI

And the psychological moment is
likely to come when Al Smith and
William G. McAdoo are eliminated
and the John w. Davis whirl faded
out, it was said.
Vigil at Radio
At the Ralston home today, the
family circle, still augmented by
newspaper men and relatives, again
took up the daily vigil at the radio.
The Senator took an early walk
about the farm and later secluded
himself in his study with his secre-
tary. Richard T. Buchanan and his
stenographer,
Meredith Nicholson, Hoosier au-
thor who just returned from the
convention. conferred with Ralston
Tuesday night. He confirmed tele-
phone conversations between Rails
ton and Taggart and Fred Van Nuys
Ralston's law partner. who placed
the Senator's name in nomination at
the convention, that Indiana leaders
were only waiting for the proper
time to put Ralston over.
Nicholson said that leaders from
other States were in constant confer
ence with Taggart and that the In
diana chieftain was the one big man.
Watch Taggart'
Watch Taggart," Nicholson said,
was the whispered word.
Ralston was greately interested
this morning in the McAdoo demon
stration when Mississippi swung her
twenty votes from Davis back into
the McAdoo column and Oklahoma
followed suit.
The Senator merely said: wen.
that's quite a demonstration, isn't
it?"
Ralston appeared today more like
a candidate than at any other time
since his name has appeared before
the conversation. Although he main
tanned to newspaper men that he is
not expecting the nomination, re-
marks here and there led observers
to believe he is rather optimistic over
the outcome
