Apparently from recent postal cards received in Seward from the Leslies, they expected to be back in the good old U. s. A. by the first of September. At least that is what Mrs. Chris Lar sen is under the impression, for a card dated from Paris the latter part of last month, says they were then leav- ing France for London, then on to Ireland and back to New York at about this date
 While in Paris, which they say is a very nice large city, they took the opportunity to visit the castle in which Napoleon lived and there they saw many beautiful old paintings.

The winter season on the Kugrak river gives promise of being both a busy and profitable one. A number of thawers have been taken into the country, and with coal mine with easy access, good results may be looked for. The Kugrak is the largest gold bearing stream entering into Kot- zebue sound, and the pay streak in most places lies under, the tundra on the right limit of the stream.

how to make use of them. For in

There are lots of other frivolous

CHAPTER xxx.
In Richards Office,

At 2 o'clock that afternoon Mona
swept into her husbands office. After
her scene with Barry. she had sent
Leila on an errand that would keep
her out of the house the rest of
the afternoon. Then she had tele-
phoned Richard and told him that she
must speak to him at once.
Miss Barclay, the efficient secretary
who guarded Richards inner room,
rose to her feet with a smile. She
stood in awe of the beautiful Mrs.
Kingsley with her imperious manner
and she ushered her at once into Rich
ards presence.
He rose to his feet as Mona entered
and she dropped exhaustedly into the
chair that he placed for her.
1.-The most awful thing has hap
pened," she began excitedly. Barry
fancies himself in love with Leila.
He wants to marry her Did you ever
hear of anything SO absurd? I've
just had the most awful scene with
him, but he's too infatuated to listen
to reason"

casually on Mona's exquisite face. His
voice was very quiet as he spoke.

to have your son marry a servant ?

thing she puts on harmonizes. And
she has an excellent color sense: her
combinations are good-vivid golden
yellow with beige, for instance. or a
beige and gray mixture set off with
scarlet or jade. Or one of the new
rich deep puppies or blues against a
neutral background of dress or suit.

to keep 1t clean and also gives the
hair a gloss because it acts somewhat
as a polisher by distributing the oils
evenly over the hair shafts.
Brushing also tends to pack the
hair and make it straight unless there
is decided tendency to curliness. I'm
less you keep your brush thoroughly
cleaned and aired you had better never
use it on your hair at all. The neg
lect of this care of the brushes may
be one reason why SO many men have
scalp troubles.
Brown Eyes-The coloring or scent
in the powder may disagree with your
skin, SO try a plain rice powder.

Calico and the Pendulum ?

The great physicist, Calico, was
sitting in church listening to a long
sermon on which he could not keep
his mind. He noticed that an incense
pot was swinging on a. very long
chain from the dome of the cathedral.
He wanted to find out whether, as the
swinging gradually slowed down, it
took as long for the pendulum to
| travel rapidly through a. long arc. as
to travel slowly through a small arc.
He proved that the time was the
| same, but how did ne do it in church.
with no watch to time the swing by?
| The answer is so simple that nobody
| but genius would have thought OF
it. He put his finger on his pulse
and counted off the intervals Of time

Too Strong on Etiquette.

1
There are many useful books writ.
ten these days putting girls right
| about various little social customs
which make it easier for them to
mingle with strangers--to fulfill any
social duties which fall to their lot.
Lots of my readers tell me they
| take these books as guides, study
them diligently. learn them by heart,
SO that there will be no situation In
which they'll find themselves at a
loss as to what to do.
That's all right. Go ahead ard
learn all the rules for polite conduct
you can. But don't let yourself de-
velop into such pathetic specimen
as Gertrude.
Gertrude was a normal. healthy,
sensible young person until she got
bad attack of etiquette-it has
nearly succeeded in killing her off.
She had thought that she was
living a well ordered existence, but
when she started reading the sacred
pages of her guide to good manners
she suddenly got wise to the fact
that she'd been struggling along in
the dark ages.
Thousands of things she'd been
doing every day of her life without
realizing that they were, all of
| them, the worst sort of social mis-.
/ takes.
And her friends! She shuddered
when she thought of those poor, un-
civilized friends of hers.
How many times had she seen
Elsie draw the spoon toward herself
instead of pushing it away when
drinking soup!
How many times she herself had
sat down to the table without MOTTO
ing which side of the chair she
started from.
How often she'd gone out to din.

had ordered just a simple salad
| What must all of her man friends
have thought Of her? Then she
started worrying about them, too.
| Why, half of the men she knew
didn't do things the way they should
be done at all. They picked things
off the floor when she dropped them
without waiting for an attendant to
do the act. They let her do her own
ordering of dinner, instead of tact
fully suggesting what she might
have, If she cared to.
/ Gertrude decided that there must
be great change. From that time
forth she went about with a. watch.
full, cautious eye, determined that
| no one in the world should find fault
| with her conduct. And, at the same
| time, she kept noticing new flaws in
her friends manners. Also her par.
ents began to bother her with their
carelessness about the really i'm
portant matter of eating properly.
So she came to be almost obsessed
with this etiquette business. Her
enjoyment of many affairs was mar
red by her constant watchfulness lest
she slip up.
She gave so much time and
thought to what she should and
should not do that she missed most
of the good time she had started out
for.
Good manners are important.
They should become part of us, so
that we display them quite uncon.
sciously.
We shouldn't think about them so
continuously that they're an obses.
sion with us.
