CHAPTER NIN.
Arthur and Mimi.

IA The days that followed yhe Den
nison family Went their separate
ways. II Was strange thing. but
the apartment on Madison avenue
sheltered them under its roof some
few hours Of each day. and Yet each
member Of the family lived d distinct
and separate Lie. with no common
link to draw them together.
Natalie was absorbed in her friend
ship with Lucien Bartlett and was see
ing a great deal of him.
Lucien thrilled her. For the first
time in her life she was not quite
sure oil herself. She was finding it
difficult to be hippant and pert, and
instead of her usual bored acceptance
OF the usual round OF pleasures en-
ioved by her SGT. lie vas interesting
and romantic and dangerous.
Lucien was no easily managed boy.
He was mature man. 1t was not
easy for him to he restrained ana
merely friendly with Natalie. There
were times when he wanted Ia snatch
her up in his arms and Natalie. being
woman. knew this quite we'll. Bur
although they skated constantly over
thin ice. they had not broken
through since that memorable evening
in the taxi when Lucien had taken
her III his arms and kissed her.
With Arthur. Of course. restraint
was more negligible thing. Mimi
lacked Natalies finer qualities. and
her treatment of Arthur depended
largely on her moods. Arthur WAS
finding ii more and more difficult 10
keep up with the extravaganza of her
demands.
His salary was ample. but not
large. lie had been with his father :
conc@in only a little over a year. and
as Vet was not of enough value to
be paid an eXtravaGant salary. His
finances worried him q great deal. and
because he found il easier to forget
when under the influence of alcohol
he had begun to drink quite steadily.
His infatuation for Mimi possessed
him utterly. She fascinated him. Her

Not yet: | want To become great

then perhaps her words would
trail off, her intention being TO leave

HOW 1T STARTED
"Shoplifter."
BY JEAN NEWTON.

In this word ''shoplifter" for per
son who steals something from a
store or shop we have good ex-
ample of the interesting tale that
words can tell. for it concealS in it's
syllables a word that has not been
used in speech since our language
was in the making
''Shoplifter" is composed. not of the
obvious shop" plus lift" meaning
to pick up, but of "shop" plus thief
in the form of the old Gothic
'hliftus' from "hlifan," meaning to
steal.
Verify. we never know. by merely
looking at d word, whether we see

MY Neighbor Says:

Clear ammonia - pure, not

from windows. even when it has
been on a long time. Apply
with a scrubbinS brush.
If house plants droOp from
no apparent cause and refuse
to thrive, try watering them
solely by pouring warm water
into the SaucerS every day.
Plants love bottom heat. and 1t
will sometimes give them new
lease on life.
To remove glass shoppers in
cologne bottles, dip them In hot
water, or place over the steam
in kettle. This will loosen a
stopper so it may be easily re-
moved.
When kerosene is spilled. the
stain may he entirely removed
by the application of limewater.
If colored clothes remain wet
too long. no precautions can
prevent the colors from run
ming into streaks. This will
certainly happen if they axe al
lowed to lie in water. They
must always be Numbered as
quickly as possible.
To keep glassware bright,
wipe as soon as removed from
the hot suds. Tumblers used
for milk should first be rinsed
in cold water.
To prevent custard dishes or
glasses from cracking when
pouring boiled custard into
them, place them on a damp
cloth. This plan is most effec-
tive.

time. The farmers who have es-
tablished the standard of one
third of the cash crop acreage
either in clean corn ground or.
properly titled summer fallow
have proved to their satisfaction
that the yield per acre is a very
important item in production
costs and that the profit in wheat
farming increases very rapidly on
the bushels above ten per acre
while that below is usually equal
to or more than the cost of pro-
duction.
When we consider that in the
average year one-third of the
yield will be lost if not planted
before May 1st and one-half the
yield cut down if planted as late
as May 18th, a great deal of seri-
Gus consideration should be given
to date of seeding and the corn
ground and summer fallow farmer
in a year like this, when the
ground remains unavoidable so

the farmer who will have to plant

is in condition to plant a crop.
