where she had left him watching her

CHAPTER XXI.
Master and Maid.

For a moment Leila and Richard
faced each other without speaking
In the minds of both there was an
uncertainty as to just how to proceed.
Richards involuntary rising to his
feet when Leila had entered the room
gave the meeting a social appear
ance, instead of an interview between
a master and a servant, and both
were aware of that fact. 1t was Leila
who spoke first.
"You wanted to see me. Mr.. Kings
ley?"
Her simple words broke the SPELL
and Richard indicated a chair.
Wont you sit down? Perhaps you
would like to take off your things
first"
Conscious that his piercing blue
eyes were watching her, Leila re-
moved her hat and coat. Over the
skirt of her suit she wore gray silk
jumper blouse that tied with gray
ribbon at the wrists and throat. The
neutral color made her cinnamon hair
look almost orange in the light of
the lamp, and as she sat down the
thought flashed across Richards con-
seriousness that she was startlingly
lovely. Strange that in that moment
he should remember that he actually
held this girl in his arms That
small head with it's silky curls had
rested on his breast; he had carried
her as easily as if she had been a
child. He shook himself impatiently
as though to dispel the memory, and
when he spoke his voice was quite
even.

What Tomorrow Means to You
By MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrows planetary aspects are
adverse until sunset. They then
change, and become Intentionally ia
vorable. This is one occasion when
much circumspection is needed, as the
signs point to unexpected danger Just
around the corner" No commitments
of any sort should be made; nothing
out of the ordinary should be essayel,
and you must content yourself with
doing to the best of your ability only
those tasks that are unacceptable and
Of a routine nature. You will also be
called upon to fight a strong tendency
to be querulous and critical. The
evening, If proper advantage be taken
of the conditions, promises much en-
joyment and happiness from social
or family gatherings.
Children born tomorrow will, during
infancy, enjoy normal physical condi-
tons. and any slight ailments from
which they may suffer will readily
yield to ordinary treatment. These
children promise to develop very
rapidly. and care must be taken in
order to prevent their outgrowing
their strength. Their characters will
be dependable. They will possess a
high sense OF honor and OF justice,
and their actions will be guided by
very severe Ideas of what is right and
what is wrong. They will be quick
tempered, but just as quick to atone
and make amends. Intellectually,
they will be above the average and,
will be affectionate and loyal.
If tomorrow Is your birthday, you
are both versatile and resourceful. 1t
cannot be said with any degree of
truth that you excel in any one line,
but you are good at many. Your re-
sourcefulneSS Is your saving grace, as,
no matter what situation may arise,
you always seem able to cope with
and master it. Your temperament is
a joyous one and you have a keen,
penetrating mind and are rather
proud. No one better than you can
appreciate, at its just value, the good
in others and you always strive to
be generous and fair in your bearing.
You have keen sense Of humor, and
are very partial to the companion
ship, of congenial friends and asso-
ciates. You do not like solitude, as
at such times you become excessively
introspective.
Your love Is strong and passionate,
and II your mate is OF the emotional
type, as distinguished from the ''ice-
berg variety your home life should
be happy.
Well known persons born on that

US indulge the little folk whenever
we can It helps them to know what
is expected of hostesses and Is an aid
in social education.
Social Training.
For example, a hostess tries to
please her guests. A child can be
helped to learn this side of entertain
ing by endeavoring to see that the
children in her home or on her lawn
are playing games they like. She
must not domineer, but give place to
the wish of others. On the other
hand, If she is q guest herself, she
can be helped to see that it is for her
to fall in graciously with plans made
by her hostess for her good times.
Sometimes she may prefer to play an
other game, but when anything is
PROPOSED, it is for her to enter into 1t
with good grace. The reciprocal side
of social life begins to be understood.
Guidance When Needed.
1t is well for the mother to watch
proceedings and start some game
when children look as If they did not
know what to do. On the other hand,
lit is well much of the time to let the
children do what they like. Don't APP
pear to be noticing them all the time.
This makes them self-conscious and
they fail to be their normal, active
and happy selves.
Games That Are Liked.
Familiar games are popular. You
will hear little voices piping up with
glee saying, "Oh! / know that gamev'
or II know how to play that" when
such game is named to play. 1t
makes them feel easy to realize that
they can play it knowingly. Another
type of game brings out such knowl-
edge, as children have. To appear wise
tickles their fancy, and in this they
certainly are like adults.
Flower Party.
Let us imagine a flower party Ask
the children to tell names of flowers
in bowl. Get them to go out in the
garden and each pick a leaf from a
tree, shrub or plant and bring 1t back.
Let each one see how many know
what the leaf is. Have a flower for
each child at the table. Fasten it to
a stick of candy. and use instead of
the customary cap bonbon. From this
the simplicity of getting up even a
special party for children can be seen.
Supper Ideas.
For a supper a fancy cake helps
greatly to make the party a success.
1t merely needs to be iced with pink
or fancy frosting to give it an orna-
mental touch. Ice cream is another
party feature. But if you cannot get
it for a hastily planned party, try
jelly with whipped cream. This is
wholesome and looks dainty. Sand
witches for the main course, with milk
for the beverage, make planning easy.
Or lemonade or "eambric tea" can be
served instead of the milk. Simpli-
flying the plans and going to as little
trouble as possible without losing the
festive atmosphere makes it practical
for mothers to have children ms parties
frequently.

Finally he looked at the shell. 1t was

British ships which have recently

by the Kings own treasury depart

AS Brant was no ordinary passen-

He is a fllll-blooded Mohawk about
"a years old, and he has had all adj
vantages of Christian education,
besides which he inherited many
traits and abilities rarely possessed
by the savages of the forest. His
grandfather, Sa Ga Yean Qua Rash

England in his day and was received
with high honors.
Brant and other Indian chieftains

Swimming.

If child could have but one sport
would give him swimming. Girls
and boys alike need to learn to swim
and they profit by the power in more
ways than one. First it takes them
into the open air, and that in itself
is great advantage. No child will
swim indoors IL he can swim in the
open. It takes the children into beau.

and the swimming hole are lovely

errand was to attach Brant securely
to the Kings cause in this war, and
Brant's mission was to exchange
offers of loyalty to the King for
promises that the land rights Of the
Indians would be more carefully OBJ
served by the British than the In
dams consider they have been in the
past.
The fact that Brant has returned
| in state, so to speak, on a British
! warship, and that he is now in the
British army, is proof enough that
the mutually desired exchange was
accomplished. 1t was brought about
by lavish entertainment and by two
appearances of Brant before Lord
George German, British minister for
America, on both of which occasions
Brant made really eloquent addresses
in true Indian fashion but in excel
lent English. Promising to redress
the redmen's grievances after the
war and assuring them of the Kings
high favor and everlasting protection.
Lord German made it a matter of
selfintereSt for them to swear fealty
to Great Britain, and thus secured
Brant an ally who is likely. to be

and Susquehanna Valleys of New

Everett NJ. Williams, son of A. W. Williams of 169 Corbin avenue, this city, has qualified as an excel lent swordsman in the mounted sabre course at Norwich university, according to information received here from the military college in Northfield, Vt. This honor adds to the many he has already won.
 The local boy is prominent at Norwich as the leading pitcher on the baseball nine. He has been a member of the team for the past three years and has been a first string pitcher since his freshman year. It was through his efforts that the Norwich Cadets won many of their games the past season. Their victories included Dartmouth, Yer mont and Middlebury.
 Williams is president of the Theta Chi fraternity, a member of Skull and Swords, senior honorary society, and has been prominent in many so- cial activities since his freshman year.
