There's a New Art In Hanging Pictures

It is no longer a duty to our rela- lives to hang pictures in the house Now it is an art of making a home livable by making it beautiful.
 The new way to decorate walls has no consideration for old hand colored' photographs. Make pie lures a part of daily life.
 The subjects of pictures must harmonize with the atmosphere or purpose of the room.
 The little Colonial home just begs for silhouettes, flower prints, old maps. Properly framed, the portrait of your favorite grandaunt may contribute charm. Oil paint inss in the average home must be strictly limited in weight" and number-so limited that they have q real place in houses of Spanish or English types.

 There was q lot of excitement down behind Farmer Browns hen house. Flip the Terrier had discov- cred Unc' Billy Possum there and nc was dancing around Unc' Bill, barking and watching for d chance to rush in and seize him Inc Billy, on his part. was turning so as always to face Flip and was snarl- ing and showing sharp set of teeth. All the time Unc' Billy was trying 10 edge along until he could reach one Of the posts Of the hen yard. Of course. Flip didn't know this. Flip didn't know nc Billy or anything about him. No, sir. he didn't know who Inc Billy was, so or course he had no suspicion Of what Unc' Billy was trying to do All Flip wanted was a chance to dash in and seize Inc Billy by the back of the neck, If he could once do this, h" f"]t h. could shake Unc' Billy 10 death in q minute.
 So he continued 10 rush and bark, and Inc Billy continued 10 gradually work along until he turn. cd the corner Of the henhouse.

 Gradually Unc' Billy was cdging along nearer and nearer to that first fence post. He turned his head for a quick glance and Flip say his chance.

 "Wcll,' thought Flip, this fellow Was easy. He looked like a fighter bat never in my life have ] killed a rat as easily as l killed this big tCllOW.' Ou see, Flip was stili thinking that unc' Billy was some kind of raj.
 Then Flip became filled with pride. Yes sir. h. became filled with Ilid". lie felt that he had done q btG thing - wonder what Bowscr the Hound will say to this" thought Flip.

 So Flip got hold Of the loose skin Of Unc' BiIly's back and car ried him q short distance. But Unc Billy was too big and too heavy for a small dog to carry far He tried it two or three times. Then he dropped Unc' Billy. stood and looked at him pridefully for q few moments, and then raced off to get Bowscr the Hound. There wasn't,a prouder dog in all the Great World than Flip.

 Happenings Which Led to kath-

 l found no answer to my mental query concerning Hal Meredith in either hatherine's actions or words as she went downstairs with me to the dining room. where Katie serv- ed luncheon with lightness of manner which showed that she had completely shed the memory of her recent encounter with Mrs. Ticer and the disciplinary interview with me which had followed it. Through the swinging door at katie's ire quent entrances and eNts I could catch glimpses of Mrs. Ticer husiv engaged at sink. table or cookstoya, and knew that. with katie's apolo- gy, the hatchet had been buried, temporarily at least, and the two foe-women were at peace.
 Katherine made fine pretcnsc of doing full justice to kate's excel lent luncheon, but l saw that in reality she ate scantily and that the meal was an ordeal to her. l had intended to have Jim drive her to the station because I wished to be at hand for the telegram from Marion which l expected and which l wished no one to receive save my self. But as I watched Katherine I resolved to remain with her until l had put her on the train. and. ex- cusing myself, ran upstairs 10 the extension telephone and put in a Call for the Western Union.
 T am expecting a telegram very shortly" I told the operator, giving my name and telephone number, but 1 have to go away for a little while and do not wish it tclephon- ed to the house while l am gone. If. it comes in please hold it there until I telephone again"
 "Fery well, Mrs. Graham" the operator said courteously, then re- peated my instructions, and I went back to the dining room relieved Of the fear that If Marion's telegram said No" my father would know the signature from the school, and l would be put in the position of having betrayed part of the young girls confidence to me.
