Clues to Character
BY J. o. ABERNETHY.
The Oppositionist.

Are you crushing in speech, dicta-
torial, and is your laughter often
violent and sometimes hysterical? Are
you of an active temperament? If so,
then you are what analysts call an ex-
tremist. Persons of this temperament
usually see but one side of a question
and they have slight regard for the
opinions of others.
An extremist will stand upon his
own views, right or wrong, declining
to listen to reason. and has such SUI
preme confidence in himself that he in
variably Is an oppositionist. If per-
mitted to have his own way he is an
agreeable and charming companion.
This type is extreme in all things.
Either he is extremely hopeful or
deeply depressed. Conceit is one of
his characteristics. He easily Is of.
Tended, but quickly RECEIVERS from ex.
element or setbacks.
An arched profile, low crown of
the head, a receding forehead; bril-.
liant, nervous eyes, set close together
a large, arched nose and large mouth
are indexes to the extremist. He is
aggressive. both in speech and action
manifests great energy in walking,
and usually is Of a small, wiry ply.
sique.

WINTER

ny d. G. PEATrIE.
Ascending Sap.

1t is often thought. find, that sap
begins to rise when Spring comes, as
though warmth had a direct relation
to the ascent of the trees juices, or
as though the tree knew" when
warm weather came that 1t was time
for the sap to rise.
But the fact is that the sap begins
to rise in late Winter, If not in zero
weather, at least under temperatures
that are anything but balmy. IT has
been rising for the past two weeks,
and certainly some of the recent
weather has been nasty enough. That
ii has been rising. anybody may see
for himself. Maple buds have not only
been swelling; some of them burst fool
ishly and prematurely into flower; and
buds can no more swell or open with
out sap having risen to the top of the
tree than a man can think II the
blood leaves his brain. 1t Is not
Spring, and il Is not warm, at least
not warmth directly, that makes sap
rise. What does. then?
Strangely enough, that question.
which should appear to be perfectly
simple to answer, is one of the mys-
teries of science. There Is lifting
power in roots known as osmotic
pressure, but physicists say TINS
would not account for the ascent of
sap beyond a very short distance.
There Is capillarity-the plotting ef-
feet of a liquid on absorbent tissue:
but the physicist will not allow US
capillarity beyond a few feet, as the
column of water would soon become
so heavy that 1t could not overcome
/, gravity. People have suggested the
effect of water evaporating from leaf
surfaces, creating a fractional pull
| in the pipes OF trees. but at this sea-
son of the year there are no leaves,
so If that explanation is true at all
| 1t is only true in Summer. We are
| left in the dark about the way the
| sap climbs up the so to 100 feet of
| tree pipes, nor do we know what
| makes the sap feel that primal urge
| to get out of its bed in the dead of
Winter. In the dark days and the
long nights.

CHAPTER V.
A Liner Moves Out.

Up on deck people were streaming
down the gangplank. There was
much laughter but there were tears
too.
Sally felt the tears press hot against
her eyelids, and when Tom caught her
against him roughly, almost savagely
and crushed his lips against hers. she
chung to him with utter abandon, al
most hysterical.
Dearest" she heard him say
ever, and it's only for a short time.
at love you. / love your
And love YOU"
"Always?"
Always and forever! Take care Of
yourself, my darling!
And then he was leaving her, she
was alone with Myra!
They stood against the railing side
by side. Myra in her smart travelling
coat trimmed with kolinsky, a little
felt hat pressed down over one eye
She wore a huge bouquet Of orchids
Her face was gay, laughing, and she
kept tossing light remarks to the
crowd standing just beneath them.
Sally was conscious that her eyes
were red and wished that she pos
sessed more self-control. In that gay
crowd there was only Toms face look
ing UP at her. Tom was trying to
smile, to keep up his spirits, perhaps
for her sake. But how well she knew
him, That sensitive mouth of his was
not steady, his smile was forced. mol
real.
She was suddenly panicky. She hat

But almost as the thought occurred
to her. the gangplank was being re

was a sudden quickening of the
engines. The boat was moving, q
narrow green strip of water was ap
pearing between the liner and tht
wharf.
Her breath caught in her throat
The tears were streaming down hel

inexpensive Carpets.

Spring house cleaning Is not far off
and you will be thinking of freshen-
ing up your home with new carpets.
1t may be necessary to mind the
budget while doing so. and avoid any
thing that is even suggestive OF eN-
trava gance. OF all carpets. ingrains
are the cheapest, and the additional
fact that they wear we'll makes them
of especial interest.
Ingram carpets are called so be'
cause they are made on ingram looms.
They are all dyed before they are
woven, and there are different grades
or qualities OF ingrains. Ingrains are
not very colorful carpets, because
they are chemically dyed and the col
ors produced are not as pleasing as
those of vegetable dyes. The carpet
is more suitable therefore for the bed
room than the library or drawing
room.
of the three kinds or grades of in
grains extra SuperS' are the most
expensive because of their all'wool
filing and Atwood chain. The cot
ton chain" carpets come next in quail
ity, and are identical except for their
cotton or Isle chain. Union carpets,
cheapest of the ingrains, are made
with both filling and chain OF cotton.
Besides these types of ingrains
there are ''probrussels,' which rank
with the extra supers," but differ
from them in having heavier Killing
and a chain of jute. There is also
granite" ingram made with cotton
filling and partly jute chain that sells
at O. fairly low price.

She was conscious of the fact that
somewhere a band was playing and
she resented il. She strained her eyes
so as to concentrate them on Tom $
face, and ii was then for some incon.
ceivable reason that her glance hap
pened to fall on Bill. H
His face was not like Toms. 1t
was almost tortured and in that
moment she knew what she had either
not known or never stopped to realize
before. Billy loved Myra! He loved
her much more than she loved him.
Bill hated to have Myra go just as
much as Tom hated her to go. But to
Myra it didn't seem to mean any
thing.
She stole a glance at his sisters
face. taking a precious second away
from Tom to do 1t.
Myra was calm, entirely self-pos-
sessed. 1t was then that she realized
the fact that, after all, she wasn't very
close to Myra. She really knew very
little of what went on beneath that
lovely exterior of the sister she adored
so much. And she was going away
with her. She was going on trip
that would last for weeks!
Terror swept down on her like a
dark cloud, fear of the future and her
own 1nexperlence, panic because OF
the unknown and the knowledge that
Tom would not be there to look out
for her. And all the while that strip
of greenish-gray water was widening
Again her eyes were riyeted on his
face. She loved it better than any.

husband! 81
Hardly aware of what she was doing
she was running along the deck la
order to see him as long as possible.
The crowd moved too. and as the liner
rounded the wharf they were stand.
ing at the very edge.
Tom had fastened his handkerchief
to his stick and was waving it. His
face was already blurred.
Sally hung over the rail sobbine
wildly, and then Myra spoke to her.
For heavens sake, child, don't be
so foolishly emotional. Try to control
yourself. 1t isn't really decent to let
go like this in public. It's not good

Loyalty.
II. D. is somebody's secretary-ano
he is a very big somebody, too.
And Fl. u. has a wonderful job
there are several other secretaries In
the firm. but III. d. has the biggest
job of them all.
There are not only secretaries, but
telephone operators. file clerks, mere
stenographers and girls in the AUDIT
ing department-all of whom were
once bosom friends of Fl. ID.
But since III. d. got her last raise,
the girls all seem to have turned
from her, and one day last week II
D. heard one of them give a stage
whisper of sneak" when II. ID. APP
preached a group of them at the
noon hour.
What can she do?
Just how much should a conn
Dental secretary report to her boss
and what manner of things she over
hears should she keep sub rosa, SO
to speak?
And that Is exactly the trouble!
Poor Fl. d. has this wonderful job
and she has q boss who has evil
IDENTIFY been using her as a spy-not
exactly position to win the love
or keep the love of a group of girls
who, possibly. impetuously say many
things with no bad intent, but which
when repeated, assume great signln-
canoe.
1t is one thing, Fl. D., to report
to your trusting employer remarks
or reports which are important to
the interests of the firm-quite an
other to be tale bearer!
BY all means tell him important
things-but, my dear, Jealous little
secretary. do not degrade yourself
by doing spy work!

body you tell me he is. he mas ar
rived at the pinnacle of knowing now
to discriminate between important
things and the unimportant ones.
If everything that you report 70

then have all the more confidence IN
you and what you have to say.
But if. when you begin to MAKE
some report, there is the POSSIBILITY
that ii may be mere gossip. he may
sometimes turn you Off because. a.
the moment, he is occupied WIN
really big thoughts!
So. be sure to think carefully about
what you tell him, and avoid aoso-
lutely all things that resemble per-
sonal gossip.
You will not only win back the
love and trust of the girls, but you
will gain greater trust in the mind
of your boss.
Loyalty is a great asset.
But remember that your loyalty to
your firm-which means LOYALTY to
your boss, does not mean that you
must be disloyal to your friends.
Do not be a tale-bearer!
Learn the difference between these
things.

WHEN WE GO SHOPPING
BY MRS. HARLAND II. ALLEN.

Ingram carpets, n yard wide, should
have over thousand chain ends.
Ordinarily ingram carpets with the|
most white in the patterns have Inc
most wool. The reason Is that the
dark patterns are sometimes partlv
made up of animal hair. II you have
had any experience with these carpets
you will have discovered that the
cheapest qualities OF ingrains are
hardly worth buying at all.
Ingrains should be free from oil en-
tirely. once in a while one is able to
find oily ingrains that are cheap In
price. but they hold dirt and dust and
are generally unsatisfactory. Ingralns
with cotton chains are likely to shrink
and spread. and should be laid as soon
as they are cut. or all ingrains
unions are the worst shrinkers, and
they should always be cut longer than
the loom. Ingrains make really good
buys for the shopper who viii buy
with judgment and discrimination.

AND THEIR CHILDREN.

One mother says:
Teach children when they are young
to love books and to look at them
as friends, and they win always take
good care of them. Some OF the
things to be taught are: Hands must
be clean when handling books, pages
must not be marked or turned down,
bindings must not be broken by lay
ing books face down when open, and
borrowed books must be returned
promptly. Even a very small child
may be led to appreciate brightly
colored covers and the illustrations
and decorations inside. Older chill
dren will notice the paper, print and
bindings IL they are told something of
the fascinating art of book-making.
