BALTIMORE, May 4.-Whether
taxes on real estate in Baltimore shall
be limited to 81 per $1,000 will be
decided at the municipal election
Tuesday.
The charter amendment was placed
on the ballot after the Real Estate
Board of Baltimore had secured
10000 signers to the petition, which
had previously been denied by the
City Council.
The present tax Is $235 per 81 900
of valuation, and realtors claim that
property owners are now paying ST.
100000 of the $42,000,000 annual
expenses of the city government.
Both the Democratic and Repub-
lican candidates have gone on record
as opposing the plan on the ground
that it would result in the loss Of
s2,500,000 in revenue, which could
only be made up by sacrificing some
of the most important city services,
such as schools. police and fre pro-
tection.>
The Realty Board, on the other
hand, declares that these losses in
revenue can easily be met by elm
ination of unnecessary city employees,
who are being kept on the pay roll
by politicians, and by assessing other
tangible property which is now prac-
tically tax-free.

BALTIMORE, May 4.-Building in
Baltimore last month, as evidenced
by the permits issued, showed an
increase of $212,340 over that for
April, 1884. according to report
Of the Bureau of Buildings.
The figures for last month were
4S40, ,420, as compared with $628,080
for April year ago.
This is the first time so far this
year that building in any month has
exceeded the showing for the cor
responding month of 1884.
The most important item in last
months operations was two-story
brick houses, permits for 80 of which
were issued at combined cost of
$l28,000. This compares with per-
nits for six such dwellings at COM
bined cost of 5000 in April, 1894.
For the first four months, however,
the current year is behind the cor
responding portion of 1884, the fig
ures being $2,295,780, as against
$3,470,976.

New Varnish for Furniture.

A varnish product has been placed
on the market which Is applied to
furniture by the simple expedient Of
wtping 1t on with a cloth. It dries
rapidly with high gloss and is much
more durable and permanent than any
type Of furniture polish. 1t can be
used over any finish where varnish
proves satisfactory.

NEW YORK, May 4.-Leading met
ropolitan decorators this year are
giving more attention than ever to
the decoration of sun rooms, terraces
and porches. Sun-barrows, deeply
cushioned rattan pieces and artfully
designed iron furniture appear in
many styles and colors. Sun-barrows,
as you probably know, are those CON-

the sun or the shade as you wish.
One prominent store has even de-
signed what 1t calls geographical
furniture"-chairs and tables espe-
cially attractive for various sections
Of the country.
AS for the sun room, the tendency
Of the New York decorators Is to
treat it as q distinct interior which
demands quite a different scheme
from that Of other rooms. Sun room
ceilings are being finished In light,
pleasing colors.
Floors in Light Tones.
Floors, also, are being painted in
light rather than dark tones. In the
selection Of color schemes the present
vogue for light hues accented by
brilliant ones is especially noticeable.
Walls of putty color, cream or light
yellow are being accented with trims
Of Spring green, tangerine or YER

painting one wall q different tone
from the other three Is also being
introduced.
Striking color schemes are being
evolved for the sun rooms Of smart
suburban homes. OYSTER white walls

popular.

Ruth knew, however, that Lefty

Marriage would be the perfect

Irence had collected these things
in her happy young married days
and she would no more have
parted with them than with one
of her children.
After Ruth's arrival they let
her sleep on the daybed IN the
living room, and keep her clothes
! in one side of the coat closet;
Ruth was deeply grateful ana
felt herself fortunate. { An or
phan who has lived in the crowd
ed homes of distant relatives
does not grow up expecting a
great deal of life.) She only,
wished that Lefty did not feel
this antipathy toward her. "Not
that I blame her." Ruth thought
reasonably. "Here l am, taking
up room, consuming part of the
family income and contributing
nothing but a little work."
The doorbell rang and Ruth
went, absent-mindedly, to answer
it. The house was duplex and
the Lawrences lived on the first
floor. When Ruth opened the
door she saw a young man stand
ing on the porch. 1t was Jack
Willer.
"Heliov she said politely.
"Come in, Jack. CeciPs expect

room, picking up things and lay

! way common to young men. He
was % or % years old and was
handsome in a curly-haired, movie
hero way. Ruth had always found
him rather boring. She once said
to Lefty, eff you'd remove the
slang from Jacks conversation,
all you'd have left would be a
stack of propositions and a 'cuss

agreed. 81 think he's awfully

Ruth replied in confusion. "The

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER III
When Ruth reached home she
found her cousins, the Lawrence
young people, engaged in one of
their major battles. Lefty was
trying to wrest from her brother
q dollar bill which he had found
on their mothers desk. Being
large and well-developed for her
Is years. the girl was more than
a match for the slim 16-year-old
youth who was holding out
against her.
Help, Ruth Cecil yelled, bit
ing at his sisters exposed arm.
They were struggling on an anti
que Jennie Lind daybed and it
gave signs of falling apart at any
moment.
Ruth looked at them helpless
ly. 81 don't know who's right, "
she yelled back above the tumult.
"Well, you know who's getting
beatenw Cecil retorted between
gaspS.
Lefty said. "If she comes near,
III slap both your faces, and !
mean it. Give me the dollar, pig
You got the last one we found.
You know how I need stockings"
With a final twist she pried open
her brothers hand, snatched the
damp, crumpled bill and fled
with it to her bedroom.
Cecil lay grooming and rubbing
his chest, where his sisters knee
had pressed. Ruth said, eff you
wouldn't smoke so many cigar
cts, Cecil, you might beat her
now and them She had no adj
miration and very little liking for
this high school Junior who took
his mothers hard-earned money
as his Just due and pampered
himself eXtravagantly.
Lefty came back into the room
with her hair smoothed and her
face carefully made up. She had
a round, pretty face with wide,
sky-blue ewes, fringed with dark
lashes. and light brown hair. She
looked much like a Christmas
doll. In fact, she had once play
ed that role in a school play,
standing against the wall in q

"No," replied Ruth in embar-
rassment. ooh, no. I'll go and
call Cecil" AS she passed Lefty
their eyes met and the hatred in
those sky-blue eyes gave Ruth
the answer to the question she
had been asking herself for
weeks. Lefty was in love with
Jack Willer and regarded Ruth
as her rival.
Ruth wished bitterly that there
were some spot in the house
where she might go and be alone,
some little sanctuary where she
might go now with her problems
and her mistakes, and try to
think them out. Well, there was

She went to the coat closet and
got her hat and coat and put
them on. She slipped out of the
kitchen door.
Ruth did not know how far she
had walked, or how long. She
found herself on the fringe of

were three gilded balls hanging
! above the door. She went thru
that door.
The man who came to serve
her was elderly. He wore a skull
cap and had white beard and
infinitely kind eyes. He reminded
her of Moses. She said to him,

his slender, sensitive hands. He
said, you must need money

sort of reproof, the reproof of a
prud race that respects a heri-
