Sister Mary:S Kitchen

Have you a pair of good sharp shears in your kitchen? Whenever I hear one of these complaining housewives pitying herself because she can't have this electric gadgct or that, take her up sharp. tell her thath if you have an adequate pair of shears you can do with out lot of other things and still be efficient and quick.
 use my shears nearly every time I cook meal, to cut celery and peppers for salads, shred let tuce, cut tops from beets, trim green onions and fix grape fruit.

 JARVIS HAPP, distinguished looking stranger, recognizes hllI- llccnt and offers to help her. He sends her tO Q beauty ppflor where she Is transformed into n brunet. Happ takes her home. introduces her as his secretary. His son, WOMAN HAPP, warns Naillic6nf against his stepbrOtlcr, ROBERT CAlSE, and tells her a mysterious woman in black er- mine hasb some power over his stcpmother.
 Suddenly there is knock on the door Of Milliccnt's room.
 CHAPTER xI
 Norman Happ jumped back and stared at Millicent Graves appre- hensiveiy. Millicent moved toward the door as though to open 1t.
 Norman caught her arm with his right hand, at the same time pressing the forefinger of his left hand against his lips to indicate the necessity for silence. He leaned closer to her and whis- pered, Don't open that door while I'm here"
 She would have said something, but he darted away from her on swiftly silent feet. He opened the door of her closet, stepped inside and pulled the door shut after him.
 Knuckles sounded on the panels of the door.
 Millicent Graves started once more toward the door to open 1t, then indignation got the better of her. She raised her voice so that 1t was perfectly audible to inc person outside of the door ana said. "I don't think 1 care to re- ceive any more visitors tonight. Norman Happ is here and is just leaving"
 At the sound of her words Happ emerged from the closet. His face was a dull red.
 What did you do that for?" he asked in a mumbling surly voice.
 Because" she told him, I've done nothing to be ashamed of and I don't intend to be put in an embarrassing position"
 She turned the knob and opened the door.
 Jarvis Happ stood on the threshold. Gravely he surveyed the pair.
 May I ask," he inquired, "how long Norman has been here?"
 Millicent Graves faced him de- "You may" she said, task Norman. He is the one to tell you. And now, I'll wish you both good night"
 Jarvis Happ's eyes stared at her with that peculiar searching gaze which was so characteristic of the man.
 T think told you" he said, ''that you were to adopt hands off policy"
 She said, defantly, "I am telling you that if the men in this house don't quit invading my room I'm going to get a watch doH. All that I ask of you or of your son Is 8 reasonable amount of privacy. Your son came to this room uninvited. I think perhaps his intentionsIwere friendly. How ever the fact remains that be came here uninvited." z Norman Happ said. That's right. Dad. You can't blame her for feeling peeved. walked in on her."
 'Why?" asked the older man.
 "Because I wanted to warn her."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-03-29

Then a door banged somewhere at the end of the corridor.
 Millicent got to her feet, frown- ing, Who could have walked down the corridor to her door? And who would have paused to listen'
 Her eyes lit on a slip of paper which protruded from beneath the door. |,
 Evidently, then, someone had called to leave note.
 She got to her feet and realized from the crampcd condition or her limbs that she must have been sleeping for some time. Sheer ex- haustlon had taken it's toll.
 She slid the paper from be- heath the door.
 It was a paper upon which ap-- peared typewriter, unsigned message. The message was brief and sinister:

 For moment the stern, search ing eyes of Jarvis Happ softened somewhat. He glanced at his son. standing erect and dignifled. Then he said slowly, "Well, if that's the case, Norman, you would present much more dignified appearance if you, wiped the lipstick from your mouth"
 With that he turned and

LEAKS WASTE HOT WATER

If you want to have plenty of hot water at, your house, watch your hot water faucets and don't let them drip even a little. New washers cost little and a faucet that leaks even two drops q sec- ond can waste more than two gal Ions of water day. If the leak becomes even the smallest stream, there may easily go twenty gall Ions of hot water which you are paying to heat.

A STUDY IN
By r. A. Adams
(For The Literary Service Bureau.

Press dispatches reveal a beautiful
story of v.carious suffering in regard
to the orphaned child, Helen Priscilla
STAN, whose parents were murdered
by Chinese bandits. The story is that
IN unmarried Chinese prisoner of the
bandits pleaded to spare the life of
the innocent child. This prisoner was
ridiculed, and then one of the bandits
hurled the challenge, "Who will give
his life instead?" To this the prison
er replied, 81 Will" The report is
that the savior was killed instantly
and the child permitted to live.
The question is why did this CHI
nese heather do it? What was the
motivating Impulse? What could IN
derlie such a thing? The dispatch
brings out the fact that this Chinese
prisoner expected special favor of
heaven and an immediate entrance in
to eternal blessedness. But then he
had a chance to live on and to achieve
this ~blessedness later and otherwise.
Attribute the act to whatever you
may, you cannot consistently omit
such terms as sacrifice, vicarious si1f-
fering, oblation, im%molation, and all
of these are constituent elements Of
superlative altruism. They call this
man a heather but in this he fulflls
the law of love and emulates Christ
the Master. In the light of MANS
inhumanity to man." especially among
those rated as most highly civilized,
we are justified in praying, Lord,
give less Of such civilization and more
heathenism Ike that of the Chinese
prisoner"
