 How did 1 know that they had the two magic books?" Munga howled back in Mingas ear.
 You should have found out be- fore you took Raggedy Ann's magic house on wheels and come back to where waited for you!" Minga howled again.
 "I supposed that the two magical books were here in the house on wheels, silly" Munga cried. Why didn't you tell me yourself? ."
 And SO, as the magic house on wheels rolled along after the Rag gedvs, the two mean old witches howled into each others ears, and fused and auarrelled until both be- came very angry. And. as you surely must know, when anyone becomes angry. they never see anything in true way. What the angry person sees is like when we look through bent piece Of glass.

 No" answered Ruth, Sally Ather- ton is not the conventional vamp. for she would brush a man out of her way as quickly as she would a wom an. if either stood in her path for the coveted goal not cnly of love but of any other ambition"
 But, Ruth" 1 eXpostulatcd,. that is the accepted idea of a vamp since Eipling wrote the poem A Fool There Was We all agree that the vamp feeds upon both men and women and considers walking on the faces Of her friends her most noble indoor sports and a pleasant pastimc."
 Ruth did not even smile at my flip pancy She said very seriously:
 "Oh, know all that, Leslie, and l do not think such women are wholly to blame. They are just made SO that they have no understanding Of their duty toward any one or anything ex- cept themselves.
 You have told me much of Sally Athertons life with her husband, and it seems 10 me that ill-fated marriage has crystallized her hardness and de- termination 10 have her own way and live her own life at any cost, not only 10 others but 10 herself.

 So they pulled each others noses and yanked each others hair untll finally they rolled right off the front porch of the house on wheels.
 Now just see what you have done!" Both witches cried at each other as they sat up and rubbed the bumps on their heads. You made me roll off the porch and now we have not only let the Raggedys es- cane. but we have lost the nice house on wheels.'
 And both continued to blame the other Now we shall never catch the hag- gedysn' Minga cried Tt would have been much better if l had .lot ra.iied upon you to help me get the two magic books from Raggedy Ann! shall leave you here and follow them by myself!" Mnga continued.

 You shan't have them! "Ill make magic broom stick and fly after the Raggedys!" Minga cried.
 And I shall make the magic broom stick which will fly faster than yours!' Munga cried as she got out her magic charms. Mlnga also got out her charms and the two witches made magic flying broom sticks. But each was so afraid the other would get ahead of her, they both wished for the broom sticks to thump the other upon the head. And, as both made the broom sticks at the same time, the others broom stick thumped both witches very had, for the magic got all tangled up. And of course 1t served them both right.

1 Daddy those six days had ob- served, as closely as I could without drawing attention to myself, Higgins and the one-eyed man. But although nearly early one of the first-class passengers, including myself, ex- changed words, at some time or other, with the millionaire, the one-eyed man never, to my knowledge, even exchanged look with Higgins. The one-eyed man kept to himself; when ever he walked the deck, he was alone; he never seemed to utter more than monosyllables to his table-mates in the saloon: he neither offered nor accepted hospitality in the smoke room, but drank alone.
 On the night before we landed, l attended the concert in the lounge. l sat with a couple of chance acquaint- ances near the door, where we watched the various arrivals, ex- changed banter with them, and gos- siped, after the fashion of travellers, about their manners, appearances, probable income, and fiirtations dur ing the voyage. Then, as MT. and Mrs. Higgins passed through the wide doors, we all three gasped.
 Higgins was worthy of note. His white waistcoat was fastened with emerald buttons; he wore solitaire diamond on one hand that must have weighed a dozen carats and been worth a fortune. A solid rope Of diamonds hung from his watch pocket, supporting ruby fob.
 His vulgarities had formed the basis of half the smoke-room talk during the trip, but this ostentation, in excessively bad taste, outdid any, thing else. But he was diffldent as compared with his wife.
 It was not alone that her gown was cut so low that one blushed with vicarious shame, wondering that so Informed woman should care to expose her muddy flesh. It was not that her jewels were so expensive. even, it was that she wore such an unbelievable number of them. She seemed plastered with precious stones, until one forgot how low her dress was cut. l had read of her jewels but had assumed that the newspaper writers had been guilty of the usual Sunday supplement exaggeration Now I knew that they had been re- strained.
 And one jewel, a pearl hanging from chain until it rested like a round white grape upon her bosom held my fascinated eyes. It drew my companions attention, too, for one of them Brokow by name mentioned It.
 Get the pearl?" he whispered "Got any idea what that things worth ?''
 I shook my head. "I know" he said. q was in Maret's on the Rue de la Paix, the day they bought it. Me" he chuckled, buying a thou sand franc brooch to take home to the Missus, and thinking what a hit I'd make with her! And in comes Higgins and his wife, and at the'top of his lungs old Josiah declares that he's come for the Ranee's Pearl. ant that he's brought his check for "a million francs with him. Believe me, friends, l almost died with shame to think how I'd Been haggling over my little brooch. I paid what they

Harry never had man friend except Jack that did not tell me that I was fool to trust my husband. and intimate 10 me that he was much more trust worthy.
 "Yes, will make another excep- ton, and it may seem strange to you That exception was Walter. Walter was friendly to me. he was kind to me. but he never made love to me until after Harry ran away with that other woman."

Isn't it a queer thing that q man thinks his wife belongs to him to such an extent that he can tell her when and how to cut her hair. or rather when she shall not cut her hair

and fussing over mere nothings.
 This modern attitude, which is car ried to the opposite extreme from that of the aborigihe, is likely to turn some children in neuraesthenic paths.
 Children and grownups alike might well be given few lessons in turning our attention away from minor trou- bles and hurts and cares. If started in childhood, this state of mind can be gradually strengthened and in layer years there will be considerable less possibility of worrying or fearing or fussing.
