er phones" dust-proof mouth-pieces
and receiver caps which are said to
eliminate noises, are among the prin,

on telephone instruments.
Subscribers often complain of not
being able to hear or that the people
with whom they talk are unable to
hear them satisfactorily. On investi

times find these non-essential attach

owners of homes in Spokane, a great
many of them figuring now on a few
modern touches to bring their homes
up-to-date.
"In the homes of years ago, room
space was largely taken up by bulky
buffets, sideboards, bookcases, etc,
where today these conveniences are
built into the home with a grace and
beauty and convenience all their own.
Even in the case of a mantel and fire
place, it is not necessary to have a
chimney to enjoy the charm of these
honey modern effects. Bookcases,
built-in, have taken on such charm in
their many different styles that no

ed table and chairs to help you start

so often unused can easily be made
to yield an extra ROOM The basement
room is the ideal place for a recrea-

beauty of a lattice-fence around the
backyard? And a few pieces of gar
den furniture, or probably a little tea
house all covered with vines! There
are so many of these little moderniz-
ing touches that the handy man
around the home can do himself and
thoroughly enjoy the doing of it.
For instance, take the great beauty
touch added to home by simply in
stalling French Windows in the liY-
ing-room. Many times all an old house
needs is some little touch like that to
snap it up into the modern class.
Every woman knows and loves the
beauty and comfort of sun-room. An
extra room built onto an old home
will often so improve the looks of the
home that the result is really aston
ishing.
even in some of the newer homes,
those built from five to ten years ago,
there is room for much improvement
in the way of further identifying as

people who are DESTROYS of buying or
building new homes are finding it diff
ficult to sell their old homes because
of the lack of modern features. Our
new service has an appeal to these
owners as well as those who intend
to retain and enjoy their present
homes, inasmuch as a few added i'm
provements makes a home more read
lily salable and commands a much
higher purchase price. In fact, in the
majority of cases, few improvements
to an older house will result in it
bringing an additional price much
greater than the investment on i'm
provements."
That at present there is a nation
wide spread of the "modernize your
home" movement with lumber very
reasonable and labor plentiful, as con.
tributing factors should advance this
movement in Spokane, Mr.. Rowles
contends.
Probably the most important mod
ernizing touch any old home can be
given is the laying of oak floors. Real
estate men say that over 80 per cent
of home buyers ask first if a house
has oak floors. The women especially
are quick to ask about this beautiful
undermining home touch.
To the women, the kitchen is the
first room that cries for undermining.
The modern kitchen with its convent
ent built-in cabinets, work bench and
plentiful drawer space, so simplifies
cooking that kitchen undermining is
rightly first with women.
A very simple but beautifully mod.
ernizing effect can be accomplished
by building a pergola over your drive.

and lends itself to such eff

than ever are enjoying this moderniz.

Joys heart was in her throat as
she followed Mrs. Jenkins down
stairs.
A policeman! The old man was
her father, of course. What could
they do to her?
One thing only was she certain of.
She had taken too many steps to-
ward freedom to turn back now for
anything less than physical force.
John Daring took an uncertain
step toward his daughter as she en-
tered the Jenkins parlor. Mrs. Jen-
kins took up discreet position near
the door, where she could hear and
see without being noticed.
''Dadsp' the baby name came un-
hidden to joys lips.
"Joyce-Lass," John Daring's
voice was thick. God be praised
you've come to no harm"
Joyce flung back her head.

Come now said the officer of
the law, who had dealt with many
a runaway girl in his time. Come
now, Papa's all ready to take you
back with him. Homes the place

81 haven't any home," said Joyce,
speaking in a voice that surprised
her by it's steadiness. my father
and mother are separating. What
kind of a home is that?"
Officer Sullivan was puzzled.

eleven that night.
Back in the Daring apartment on
18th street, joys father was trying
to persuade Davey to go to see Joyce.
IT feel that Joy will send for me
when she is ready to see me-" said
Davey, steadily.
But Mr.. Daring's persuasions
joined to his own eager inclination
broke down Davey's resistance, and
when Joyce ran up the steps of the
Jenkins home after an afternoon of
window shopping with Gladys,
Davey was waiting for her in the
parlor of the rooming house.
"Davey" she cried at sight of the
waiting young man, and she held
out welcoming hands.
"Joyw Davey had trouble repress-

to his lips.
They clasped hands:

she said to herself For a moment
she had a fierce impulse to go in
and see the girl.t "But it would look
queer this time of night" she
thought. So she turned back to her
own little room in the transit floor of
the Y. w. C. A. to sleep impatient
ly until morning.
1t was little after nine when
Mrs. Jenkins, wearing her Sunday
white apron, answered the ring of
the door bell. Before her stood
woman whose face was vaguely IA
miliar.
"Have you any rooms vacant.
now?" asked the stranger.
II have one very nice one, fifteen
dollars week single, on the second
floor, right next to the bathroom"
said Mrs. jenkins.
ooh, nothing so expensive as
that" said the stranger. II want
something very cheap. From the
street I saw that you have a little
cuploa on the third floor. Is that
vacant?"
"Well," said Mrs. Jenkins, "I've
never rented that room, but could
put bed up there. There's no heat
in winter, though you could use an
oil stove. could let you have that
for seven dollars week."
Give" said the stranger firmly.
There was a little further argu-
ment, but after a while Mrs. Daring
walked up the steep attic stairs after
Mrs. Jenkins.
when would you want to come
in?" she asked the stranger.
Fright away" was the answer,
and Mrs. Daring held out Il ten dol
lar bill. Here is two weeks rent in
advance. My name is Mrs. Martin.
I'm a late afternoon cashier at
Clark's and like to rest in the day
time, so 1 will be glad of this quiet
place."
Mrs. Jenkins, feeling that she had
found ten dollars, smiled at her new
roomer and tramped down stairs.
Mrs. Daring closed and locked the
door, then unpacked her bag and
wrote a note. Presently she left the
house and made her way to the
Western Union office, where she
gave the note to messenger to de-
liver to Miss Joyce Daring"
That done she went into a public
telephone booth and telephoned to
Henry Deacon. When she came out
a few minutes later it was with a
smile of satisfaction on her face. She
