Gen. Arnold Loses Hope.

NEW YORK, June f8, 1776.-When
Benedict Arnold despairs of the stu
alton Of the American Army in
canada there is no hope left. This
is the sentiment of Army officers who
have heard of u letter written by Gen.
Arnold to Gen. Gates from Chambly.
Arnold has always been one of the
most dependable and energetic officers
in the Continental Army, suffering
severe personal hardships and en-
countering great dangers in the cause
Of American liberty.
His expedition through the Maine
wilderness to Quebec early last Winter
has not ceased to be regarded as one
of the most thrilling episodes of the
war thus far. Later his bravery in
the assault upon Quebec, in which he
was painfully wounded, has won for
him the greatest admiration and re-
spect. He has always been Cour-
ageous and cheerful in the face of the
greatest disCouragements. So that
now the Canadian situation is reCog-
nized as all but hopeless when letter
comes from Benedict Arnold reading
as follows:
"NIy dear General: l am thousand
times obliged to YOU for your kind

No Diphtheria in Our Family.

Whenever hear Il man say there

he is either fool or liar, because
no family escapes these diseases
through many generations. But to-

If he says there isn't going to be any

know he were q man of practical good
sense, for it is up to every parent now
to decide for himself whether his chill
dren shall be immune to that menace.
Infants III arms are not often i'll

CHAPTER XLNH.
Distraught.

Hardly aware of what she was doing
and carrying her small overnight bag,
Jean walked down the sunny street
She had left the house with no clear
idea of where she wanted to go, but as
she turned into the main street she
came to the old Hamilton House, the
one hotel the town possessed, and
moved by some impulse She went up
the oldfashioned steps and into the
lobby.
Her one idea was TO be alone to
think over this Ehastly thing that had
happened to her. What terrible thing
had been in Cons mind when he had
accused her Of being with Merton?
And to fail her as he had without Civ
ing her a chance to explain, to treat
her without respect, even to subject
her to physical violence in his fury. it
was all like dreadful nightmare, and
yet it was true.
The lobby was practically deserted
and she sat down in a chair to try to
decide what to do. Her anguish of
mind was so great that she was hardly
aware OF the fact that q man and
woman had come downstairs and were
pausing a moment by the desk. They

of economics and sociology at Smith
College.
The preparation Mrs. Woodhouse
brings to her work with the bureau
is an enviable one. She took her
bachelors degree at McGill Univer-
sity, in Montreal, and added to it
graduate study there and later at the
University of Berlin and at the Uni
yersity of Chicago, specializing in
economics. For some years, coinci-
dent with her teaching at Smith. she
has been collecting materials for a
book, which she is writing at present.
on standards of living. outside of
class time also she has done much
lecturing, and she has published va
rious magazine articles on the educa.
tion Of women for home-making.
We've spent nearly all our time
until now learning how to make
money" says Mrs. Woodhouse. "and
now we are beginning to realize that
it is equally necessary to know how
it shall be wisely spent. If sound
economic principles were applied TO
home needs and to consumption
fewer families would be in financial
straits and we should be able to de-
termine more nearly what real mini
mum standard OF nNlng really is IL ii
does exist"
So she is working now on her first
problem for the Government and when
sufficient data are at hand and
analy2ed she will publish popular
bulletin ON fHmilv budgets and ac-
counts 1t is not a new problem. and
it has been regarded from various
angles i'm recent years. but Mrs.
Woodhousc hopes 10 make her study
more inclusive ana to found it on a
true scientific base.
No story about her. however brief
would he complete without mention OF
the fact that she is practicing what
she breaches and is another one of
the modern women who with com
plete serenity are carrying on sue
cessfu home and a successful career
at one and the same time. She has
two young children.
And entirely outside of her routine
subject she wrote a book on Italy
and the JugOslavs," which appeared
in 1920.

grand in stature and not So imposing.
They have a fascination of their own.
one does not have to peer up into the
face Of a grandmother clock. but can
tell the time with no upward glance
at all. They are floor clocks in minia
ture. And as all miniatures are allur-
ing, these clocks have their own
charm. They fit into rooms rather
than halls. though they may be used
in them also.
AIantel Clocks.
Nantel clocks come in endless
styles Just now the mahogany
mantei clock in severely plain lines is
favored. It stands rather low and
squat in many Of it's designs. But
the quaint old mantel clock, tall and
straight as n sentinel, has been gain
ing in popularity. There are many
replicas to he had of such clocks with
their ornamental PAINTED glass doors
depicting rural scenes or displaying
roses and old-fashioned garden posies.
Sometimes the genuine clocks of this
sort had mirrored doors, making them
of intrinsic worth In early days when
looking glasses We're scarce. These
styles of clocks are eminently suited
to colonial houses furnished IN period
style. lnOuSn Ine rooms neeu not De
sticklers in every period detail
Clocks with gothic cases reminding
one of church doors are decidedly
ornamental. They show to advantage
against light walls. for each little
turret stands in relief, accenting the
beauty of the lines.
Wall Clocks.
Wall clocks are among the well
known ornamental clocks. The banjo
clock is seen in all collections of
clocks and finds its way into homes
where clocks are appreciated as wall
ornaments. The Tyre clock is akin to
this in style and gets its name from
the shape Of the lower part, which
includes the pendulum. The shape
and the decoration are typical of the
Tyre.
When choosing clocks, remember
that it is a conspicuous piece of fur
nishing and should accord with the
room, increasing the beauty and be
accurate in telling the time.
Evening star., 1926-06-18

Clocks should provide decorative ele
'laents in rooms as well as furnish ac-
gurate timepieCes. Indeed, the orna.
mental feature of clocks is one of
heir great assets Ever since they
were invented makers have We'd with
one another in their attempts TO
fashion clocks that were interesting,
unique and decorative. Sometimes
they are whimsical in their construc-
ton. and again they are so Compre-
hensive in the number of things they
can do that they are marVelS of d
matchmaker skill. Collectors delight
in having examples Of various clock
makers achievements. and all one has
10 do to realize the scope Of clocks is
10 visit a museum where they are
exhibited. 1t is a revelation to those
who have not made Il study of these
wonderfully delicate and rarely beau
tifUl works. And among the makers
OF Ssfse clocks we have our own Amer
tc&GI Clockmakers of renoWn.
For I'll Rooms
~ IN not strange that with the
multiplicity of STYLES there should be
kinds suited 10 every conceivable sort
of room and to harmonic with every
period of decoration. 1t IS also found
that fashions in clocks fluctuate, but
It is only the odd and really queer
clocks that go out of fashion entirely.
Porcelain and brass clocks are not in
the height of style Just now, and UNI
doubtedlE some that are now the
vogue will be claSSed with them as
bYgOneS in a few years. But it is
true Of clocks, as of all other furnish
ings, that handsome ones, chaSte in
STYLE and classic in lines, are never
truly out of date. They are always
additions to rooms provided they are
suited to the decoration.
Grandfather Clocks.
Grandfather clocks are delightful in
halls, on broad stair landings, and in
rooms done in old-fashioned style.
They are not out of place in living
rooms and dining rooms and many
STYLES suit rooms that are not at all
old fashioned in decoration. Genuine
antique grandfather clocks are prizes
to own. Scarcely less so are the
grandmother clocks, which are less
