 3.-Carl H. Milan, secretary American Library Association, de- livered an able address at the July, 1884 meeting to the effect that there are far too many separate libraries and that they should he centralized into few large libra- ries under more competent direc- tion than Is possible to secure for the small struggling library. We used to think a Public Library" was merely a collection of books where people could go and get what they wanted; we And now 1t requires highly trained experts to make 1t serve as a great educa- tional institution. Instead of the 5000 public libraries we now have in the United States, MT Milan thinks we should centralize them into about 100, just as we have centralized the little red schoo. houses into larger, more effective educational institutions.

All Wool Yarn About Spring Styles
Warm Ensemble Makes w
Winter To Summer
By MARIAN YOUNG
MA servIce staa correspOndentl

 NEW YORK-Let your first spring dress be " Lightweight woolen that you can wear under coat now, without any wrap later on, and for cool week-ends in the country all sum- mer. Pick a simple fabric that has a subtle design, remembering that quality materials are more important than novelty ones this year.
 You'll like gray fannes, worsteds that look like flannel, the new jerseys that have dressy look about them, and, of course, knitted tweeds and cool laces. Gray, navy blue, black and white, dusty pastels and some grand shades of beige are the most outstanding colors. One particularly handsome tweed has smooth surface with wide hair-line check like mems suiting.
 If you decide on gray or navy blue, by all means get a chamois yellow felt hat and chamois gloves to wear with it. For dark days in town, you'll need darker accessories, of course but for days when you want to look full of dash and verve, nothing is more satis- factory than touches of yellow.
 Accessories Provide Originality
 Don't be afraid to combine several colors in one ensemble. Use Ascots gay bouton- nieres and the regular accessories, particu- larly hats and gloves, to get life and color in your outfits. Try purple touches with green woolen dress, red, white and yellow accents with navy blue one and, naturally, any num- Der of shades with white or black and white. In other words, choose simple woolen and depend on accessories for originality and in- terest.
 One especially smart woolen, sketched here at the left today, lends itself admirably 4n hrrsr. fc Der of other novelty gadgets. Fashioned from soft white woolen with an intricate black de- sign in zigzag effect it molds the figure, but tons all the way down the front and has an interesting neckline that forms a fattering fower-like frame for the face. It's worn with a pert black felt turban, chamois gloves and black pumps.
 The other frock (right) is dressy enough to go to anybody's luncheon or tea It is made of wool lace in a rich shade of eel gray and trimmed with cuffs of gray satin to match the lining on the novel collar that is worn high about the throat.

IA recent investigation shows that business women make far more effort to dress and makeup attractively than professional wo- men do. It also shows that the professional women who were studied spent more money for clothes etc, but secured less ef- fective results. There can be little doubt that these differences are because professional women such as doctors, teachers, etc, come less into contact. with men than busi- ness women, and partly because, as other researches have shown, more professional than business women are not greatly interested in men and marriage.

 Want to Get Well?" by Fannie Benson Rogers, has been recom- mended to patients by many of the most distinguished tuberculosis specialists of the country.

Talk about dog days being hard to get through! 1 think no time is more difficult for the housekeeper than the shank of February and the gusty beginnings of March. If ever you are faced with limitations it's then-few fresh vegetables, very fruit and the family slightly bored with life.
 We'll, here's dinner that made my family perk up the other night and it's not expensive, either. Praised beef sounds fussy but it's not really, and you'll like it.
 Praised Beef
 One and one-half to two pounds round steak, IA cup diced carrot, 1-4 cup diced turnip, 1 onion. 1 1-2 teaspoon salt, IA teaspoon pepper, tablespoons flour.
 Trim rim of fat from steak and try out in frying pan. Cut steak m pieces for serving and roll each riece in flour which has been mixed and sifted with salt and pepper, Brown quickly in hot fat. Put veg ctables into a deep casserole or baking dish and add meat. Rinse frying pan with 3 cups boiling water and pour over meat and veg etables. Cover closely and bake three to four hours in g oven (3O0 degrees F.) Keep just at the boiling point during the r' ''"g but do not let bubble.
 served this dish with mashed potatoes. buttered beets, shredded leaf lettuce with French dressin". to which chili sauce had been add ed, and old-fashioned bread pud- ding.
 old Fashioned Bread Pudding
 The pudding can be baked at the same time as the meat.
 Two cups stale bread crumbs, 7 cups milk, Ia cup brown sugar, Z tablespoons butter, 1-4 teaspoon salt, 1-2 cup seedless raisins, tea spon cinnamon.
 Scald milk, add bread crumbr and let stand ten minutes. Add re- maining ingredients and turn into a buttered baking dish. Bake one hour or until firm.
 Bacon Dressing
 Three thin slices or bacon, tablespoons vinegar, 1-2 teaspoon sugar, 3 drops tabasco sauce, few drops onion juice.
 Cut bacon in dice with scissors. Cook over very low heat until crisp. Stir in vinegar and sugar. Reheat and add tabasco sauce and onion juice. Pour at once over curly endive, shredded lettuce or romaine or mixture of all three. Be sure to lift the greens with a salad fork until they are well coated with the dressing. The French call this "fatiguing" the salad, and it's the secret of per feet green salad that each leaf re- ceive it's share of the dressing.
 All these dressings are splendid with dinner salads, although if you make good sized cheese balls to serve on pineapple slices you will find that salad satisfactory to serve for luncheon or supper.
 The green salad with its bacon dressing goes with any variety of meat or fish.
 Liquid Sauce
 One half cup sugar, teaspoons cornstarch, few grains salt, ta- blespoon butter, teaspoon vanilla

SYNOPSIS
 GALE HENDERSON, pretty and g, works in q silk mill. She and her 10.yeaP-Old brother, EHIL, support their invalid fa-
 STEVE MEYERS, who also works in the mill, asks Gale tO marry him. She promises to give him an answer In a few days.
 Gale goes skating, breaks through the fec and is rescued by BRIAN WESTMORE, whose fa. ther. now dead, built the mill. Gale disappears before he can learn her name.
 VICKY THATCHER, dangh- ter of ROBERT THATCHER, general manager of the mill, schemes to captivatc Brian.
 Gale and Steve quarrel, later make up.
 VicIky tells Brian she wants to net acquainted with the mill workers, on the pretcnse of help- fisg them. He Is pleased, agrees fD take her to sec Gale. Next evening Gale, who Is expecting Brian, opens the door and faces Viclxy.

 She stepped back and they en- tered the house. Brian said, "GaIe, this is Vicky Thatcher. yicky-Gale Henderson. know you're going to like each other, going to be friends. Vicky's come to ask favor of you, Gale"
 Vicky had turned and was sur veying the room. Gale, watching her, suddenly saw it all with this strangers eyes-the faded carpet, worn thread bare before the door ana in front of the place where her fathers big chair stood; the old-fashioned wall paper that should have been replaced long ago: the golden oak" living room table with the hard-cro- cheted scarf' across 1t and the lamp with the hand-painted shade that, in Gales childhood. had been an especial treasure; the framed, enlarged photographs of her father and mother at the time of their marriage and the tinted landscape with the far too pink roses and far too blue sky. They must be hldeous, all of them, to, this girl in the expensive fur coat and fiippant little hat vicky Thatcher who flew about the countryside In her big green roadster, who made frequent trips to New York and Miami and Havana. Gale hadn't thought the room was hideous before. She'd have 1t because it was familiar and because 1t was home. She hadn't realized how 1t would look to a stranger.
 Suddenly, she remembered her self and said, Wont you sit down?"
 'Thank you" Vicky dropped toyti1e chair that was nearest, sat forward and gathered her coat ture, ever so slight and yet com pletely aloof. There was q sub tie perfume in the room when yicky moved, a perfume that was spicey and exotic and rather heady.
 Gale had seen vicky many times but never so close at hand. She was. Gale decided as beauti- full as the girls at the mill had said. Or, if not, Vicky had some- thing that was fully as useful as beauty. Her manner of complete

assurance seemed to imply that anything she wanted would be done for her. Probably 1t was.
 Vicky turned to the young man and said, "Clgaret, Brian."
 He rose and held out the open case. He offered 1t to Gale, too, but she declined. A moment later he fiicked a lighter and held the blaze for Vicky.
 Brian said, Well, better tell Gale wht you've come for-'
 The dark eyes with their un- believably long fringes rose to his. Please, Brian" Vicky said. you put everything 50 much bet ter than I do. You explain it."
 Brian sat down, looking com pletely at ease. He said, "It's like this, Gale. Vicky's got an idea l thinks a good one. She wants to get acquainted with some of the people who work in the mill. She thought there might be things she could do for them--going to see them when they're sick, visiting with the old people and telling stories to the children. She wants to be really helpful, you under stand. What do you think of it?"
 Gales voice was very low. She said. It's very kind of Miss Thatcher"
 Brian moved one hand dispar- agingly. That's not the idea, he said. "She doesn't want to go at this as though 1t were charity. It isn't. She's got time on her hands and wants to find way to use 1t to help someone else. Shes just--well,. trying to help out. think myself it's a fine thing. We came to you becouse l couldn't think of anyone better to take her around and introduce her. Will you do that?"
 Gale hesitated. She had re- membered that afternoon in Brian's office when Vicky had opened the door and seen her weeping. Did Vicky remember ? Had she recognized her? And what possible construction had she put on the situation? The thought made Gale uncomforta- ble, just as the sight of Vicky in her furs and her audacious hat, sitting in that shabby room with her knees crossed and swinging one French-heeled foot made her uncomfortable.
 But Brian was waiting for her to say something.
 "I'll be glad to do anything l can," Gale said. She studied the other girl. Vicky didn't look to Gale like anyone who could be very helpful in the mill village. She couldn't imagine her bathing the Dinwiddies' baby or sitting beside Grandpa Higgins, whose fondness for chewing tobacco was always evidenced by the spots on his shirt. Vicky didn't even look like person who wanted to be helpful. Why had Brian done this?
 Gale thought, all at once, that she understood. This was his way of bridging his world and hers. He had thought that If she and Vicky Thatcher were friends the rest would be simple. That was what Brian had said: T know you're going to like each other, going to be friends
 "Oh, but that made all the diff ference in the world! Suddenly. Gale smiled. She said, Every one knows everyone else here. We're all neighbors. I'll take you anywhere you like. When shall we go? Of course, I'm at the mill most of the day"
 Vicky was not looking at her, did not seem to be listening. She said. "Oh. Brian - must have left my purse in your carl"

For trench mouth" (Vincent's angina) use teaspoon full of sodium perborate in a half glassful of water as mouthwash and garglc several times a day, and use the powder as tooth powder. Any ulcers or raw spots on gums should be covered with a paste made by moistening with water some perborate and spreading the paste on the sore spot with the finger, allowing it to remain a min- ute or more, once a day.

 The most charming ones are done up with tiny ringlets instead of fiat waves. Generally, unless the hair is naturally curly, n per manent wave Is advisable. To be- gin, all of your hair should be combed upward all the way around. The mass that is piled on top is separated into small strands and each section Is then rolled to make a flat rlnglet. The more ringlets you have on top, the more authentic the Grecian hairdress will be.
 If you want to look quite dash ing, put few locks down over one side of the forehead and make ringlets of them, too. The sides may be waved or left sleek in a pulled upward movement.
