laughed almost scornfully.
Dick made no answer. He SET
down and picked up a book, only %
put 1t down. He filed his pipe ard
laid it unlighted, on the dresser.

~ HE moment the door had

hands under Gloria's elbows, hold

Look here, please don't have peo-

enough without having your hair
curled every time the wind blows.

His voice was choked and queer.
Gloria could feel the beating OF
his heart against her own, and the
quivering of his hands.
With one Of her own she pushed
him away from her. She smoothed
down her ruffled hair.

She laced her fingers at the

Without word Dick nodded and
turned away. He picked up his

CHAPTER LXXXI
Widening Vista

HE felt half sad that Jake
had given her all this money.
L. She had told him he must
send her 81 and quick. For she was
to open a founding asylum where
every child would be Gods blessed
child no matter who it was nor that
it had but stolen passports.
In a whimsical bitterness she
wrote this-that night she felt so
certain love and sweetness were not
for her, so she must have a mis-
sion in her life. That was the time
David went away and she dreaded
so what he would hear; the time
Jake was coming back to. say that
she must marry hin1-a thing she
could not do.
1t was quite in jest she wrote and
to hide her panic at the vision of
long, empty years.
But now the money would be in
her hands. She was bewildered
with a sense of it's responsibility
Wilde brought her sticks, for he
wanted notice. She threw the sticks
so listlessly he paved and gave
sharp, inquiring yaps as though to
say: wake up, will youl Make 1t
worth my while to fetch theml'
But he was an understanding fell
low and resigned to a pretty lady's
moods. So finally he stretched him
self forth at her feet, reaching up
now and then to lick her hand, or

arm.
"A lot Jake would care what she
did with the money! Why, he would
be the very one to say: Take your
self to town. my dear, and deck
yourself in pearls and iacesP' He
didn't Ike old ruins wrapped with
the flowers of May. The sweets Of
life were for the young and for the
beautiful and it is suicide to kill
the joy that should be ours. That
was Jake's creed.
He Knocked when she said 50 fer
vently that she was done with ask
ing gifts Of life; her turn had come
to serve. So-she meant to climb a
martyrs pyre and thought that he
would bring the torch to light itP
Not much! He loved life far too
well to see a beauty in denial.
She unused in a vagrant way on
this and how her life had shifted;
the very fiber of her nature altered.
Five years ago-three years ago she
would not long have pondered where
and how to spend>a fortune. Then
it was enough to see herself all color
in a dress Of shimmery green; to
know herself so sweet with perfume
at her ears.

Cool Colors.

Do you know the story Of how Ben
jamin Franklin put pieces of cloth on
the snow and watched the effect of the
color on the snow below, in order to
determine which are warm and
which are cool COlors?
What he found was that a black
cloth absorbed the heat from the sun
light and fed it TO the snow. Under
meath the black piece of cloth was al
ways found little sunken place con-
Siderably below the surrounding level,
where the heat had melted the snow.
A white cloth, on the other hand,
protected the snow against the sun
light. There was no melted place un-
derneath, and it stayed on top of the
snow.
Yellow was found to be next to black
in it's power to absorb heat from the
sunlight, then red and then light blue
There is no longer any doubt as to
the scientific fact that the color of
garment has a lot to do with the heat
which the wearer feels.
A man named Hill has found that in
the sunlight black serge is most heat
ing, and next comes washed khaki
drill and finally white drill. Clothes, if
either thick or dark, not only absorb
the heat from the sunlight, but pre-
vent the heat of the body from passing
off.
AS a generalization it is safe to
state that the darker the color the
more heat is absorbed by the clothing,
and the lighter the color the less heat
is absorbed Though, as every woman
knows, the kind of weave, whether

beauty aids. This list will give her
all she wants, enough for three or
four weeks, and will not take up

leisure she should massage her head
thoroughly every night, and use

them, file. orange sticks, bleach pol

these, or else a file, scissors, the sticks
and emery boards, a bottle of lemon

sorbent cotton and a tiny box con-
tanning a mixture of powdered pum-
ice and cream, to keep the cuticle
smooth, and a little polish. For con-
venience, keep these together in a
small box.
Next, box of good face powder. A
white cream lipstick. If you like
makeup, a red lipstick and a little
rouge-the compact kind is best and
easiest to carry. BY the way, two

Routing Garden Enemies,

while we are considering garden
conditions, Mr.. Burbank, it would be
a good time, if you have no objections,
to make out list of the enemies that
attack our gardens and to specify
means of defense" I said.
I'VE have already touched on a good
many Of them, but ii might be as well
to make list of them and arrange it
for ready reference.
THE two great divisions of the at
tacking army are insects and fungus.
The insects may be divided for con-
venience into three classes: bOrers,
which live inside the tissues of trees
and plants; chewing insects, which
live on the outside and eat the foliage
and blossoms, and sucking insects,
which suck the juices of the plants"
These. then, are the main divisions
and subdivisions of the enemy's forces
now for the means of defense /
then said.
"The means of defense are differ
ent in each case. Taking the insects
and insecticides first, borers are only
completely routed by digging them
out Their presence can be detected
by the chips from the hole or by the
dead bark. Apples. peaches and
pears are peculiarly subject to borers,
and the trees should be examined at
least twice year.
Next come the chewing or biting
insects, and they include the worms
and beetles that feed on foliage. The
cutworms belong in this list, as well
as slugs and caterpillaFs, and they
attack not only corn, beans and other
vegetables, but asters, larkspurs and
number of ether garden plants.
THE best weapon for chewing in
/ u r =
poison, of which the best is Paris
green. 1t usually is made into n
spray in the proportion of l pound
(miXed 10 a paste), to $50 or 200 gal
ions of water, with the addition OF
onc-half pound of lime to prevent in
jury to the foliage. Or the Paris
green may be added to Bordeaux
mixture instead OF water, emitting
the lime. Powdered hellebore also
is used for roseworms and currant
worms in the proportion of one ounce
of hellebore to gallons of water.
THE sucking insects include all
the scale insects, the aphis (plant
lice) and squash bugs, and these may
be dealt with in masses and extermi-
mated with sprays of kerosene emul-
sion or whale-oil soap. In the cases
of greenhouse and herbaceous plants,
tobacco water in the proportion of
one pound of tobacco to one gallon
of boiling water may be applied aft
er cooling.
"Kerosene emulsion is made by dis
solving one-haf pound of hard soap
in two gallons of boiling water and
adding gallons of kerosene
churning for minutes. Dilute from
10 to % times before using.
For house plants troubled with
aphis, red spider or scale, first keep
the plants in a healthy condition,
keep the air moist and drench the
foliage with clear or soapy water.

These are caused by plant para
