Elma’s Inheritance » & By- FRANCES LILLIAN HENDERSON (Copyright, 11116, by W. G. Chapman.) It was a good deal of u bore to Roy Weston when his sister, Mrs. Breda Throop, invited him to accompany her self and three lady friends on a slum ming tour. Not exactly that either, for there was a purpose to the expedition truly charitable. The four were mem bers of a group that hud done im measurable good helping the poor and unfortunate. Their present purpose was to examine conditions In a certain tenement square that was to be ap portioned to them as their own especial territory for the winter. “And I would like to have you bring your camera along, Roy,” suggested Mrs. Throop. “What’s the idea?” “We are anxious to get some typical pictures of the way these people live,” explained his sister, “to show in a lec ture.” “I see. Very well, although I shall scarcely be at my ease tagging four ladies at out* time, I’ll follow direc tions.” It was time for these charitably dis posed ladies to get busy, for winter bad come on bitlngly sudden. There were squalid rooms they penetrated where the temperature was that of an Icehouse, not a fragment of Are In sight and children huddled under rag ged bedclothes, shivering away the hours till mother came home from her Would Devote Hours to Arranging the Room. scrubbing work with enough to buy the only uieal of the day and a bushel of coal. Weston hud never penetrated into these realms of misery and suffering before, and he looked pretty serious as he viewed a phase of life with which la* was unfamiliar. More tlmu once his hand stole unostentatiously to his pocket, and he tossed a coin or a bank note to the occupants of a cheerless room unnoticed by his escort. “There’s only one slide left,” he an nounced, us they started to leave a building that had presented unusually appealing conditions of poverty and discomfort. “Oh, here is a subject we must have!” cried Mrs. Bellew, one of the party, pushing open a door and show ing an interior fairly typical of the furthest limit of destitution. Weston foseussed his camera, and took a view of a corner of the room where the sunlight shone strong across a frost-covered window. With the click of the shutter the group started to leave the place, when Mrs. Throop exclaimed sharply, suddenly. “Why, there is a man lying on the floor under that window!” With a shudder of grewsome awe the three other ladies huddled forward and stared. Weston advanced and bent over the prostrate figure. It was that of au old man miserably attired, bis face thin and bloodless. Clenched in liis hand was a small flat key. “He is dead,” pronounced Weston, and a thrill ran through the little group. "We had better call someone in the place who knows him.” Evidently the man had just died, for when a crippled man occupying the ad joining rooms was summoned he made the remark: "Poor old Eben Short! This is pretty sudden, for he passed through Ihe hall outside not a half an hour ago.” “Who is he?" inquired Mrs. Throop. “He’s lived here for two years, he and his niece, Elma. They aren't our poor sort and I understand he was once very rich. They say he was a miser, but this poor layout doesn’t show it, does it? The girl—here she is now. I.et her know the bad news gently, for she \«us like a daughter to the old man.” A ybung girl of about seventeen en tered the room, started, gusped, parted the onlookers and then threw herself upon the floor beside the dead man. It was pitiable to witness her grief. It was pathetic to listen to her loving words, telling that all her interest in their poor life was centered about the dead man. Mrs. Throop lifted the stricken creature in her kindly arms. “Don’t take on so, dear,” she soothed and she allowed the poor child to nestle in her motherly arms and weep away her sorrow. Weston saw to It that Short was decently burled. Mrs. Throop took the girl Elma to her home. The story told by the latter seemed to confirm the report that her uncle had seen bet ter days. “He was very kind to me,” she told, “but we lived, oh, so poorly! Many a time he would tell mo to be strong and patient, for some day I should live in a palace. He must have meant this,” she would say ingenuously, look ing about the comfortable home that Mrs. Throop had provided for her. Under her new surroundings Elma developed marvelously. Arrayed in neat garments, her beauty of form and face came out strongly. She was the happiest being in the world, she told Mrs. Throop, and every word and look evinced her gratitude and love for her protectress and her brother. Elma was cheery and helpful about the house. She would devote hours to arranging and rearranging the room where Wes ton did his writing, for he was a writer on scientific subjects. “Please let me stay and just watch you turn out all those wise, wonderful pages!” Elma would plead. “I'll be quiet as a mouse.” One day Mrs. Throop came to her brother In his literary sanctum. “Roy,” she spoke, “the society wish to use some of those views of the tene ments which you took when we discov ered Elma. Won’t you get your neg atives and Select those most appropri ate for un illustrated lecture?” It was through one of the pictures that of the room in which they had dis covered dead Eben Short, that Wes ton made a remarkable discovery. The frosted window panes showed micro scopically clear in the print. He ob served that one pane was marred with letters, words. In a flash the truth occurred to him. Helpless, dying, Short had essayed to leave a message. He had traced It with the key he had found in Short’s hand and possession of which Weston had retained, the only memento of the tragic death. “I leave all to my faithful Elma,” it read. “Take the key to the Fidelity Depo—” there the writing stopped. A gleam of enlightenment came speedily to the quick mind of Westou. “Fidelity Deposit vaults,” he mur mured, with a glow of keenly aroused interest. “And (he key! I think I un derstand.” He understood so well, that within the hour he found that the key fitted to a safety deposit box in the vaults of the company named. Within it was found the savings of the miser, over twelve thousand dollars, and a signed order to pay it over to Elma in case of the death of Eben Short. “Oh, don’t send me away!" pleaded Elma, actually on her knees before Weston. “And, ah! please take ail the money and keep it, but keep me, too!” He thrilled as he read in those long ing eyes that to which his soul quickly responded —love. She had become much to him those few brief, pleasant months of companionship. He could not do without her, and he told her so, and his indulgent sister smiled happily when he informed her that he and Elma were engaged. MAN’S BEST ‘LIFE PRESERVER’ In These Days the Girl Who Knows How to Cook and Keep House Eco nomically Is a Treasure. That domestic science, practically applied, is becoming popular with young women is an encouraging sign, particularly to young men who have an eye upon “the not impossible She,” but hesitate over the matrimonial plunge because of the expense. How much of the happiness and welfare of home will be increased by this re newed devotion to home interests is a matter of conjecture. The young man who marries a fluffy girl, pretty to look at, but about as useful as a Christmas tree, has a courageous soul —which will presently be overcome by the diffi culties of making income equal out go. The girl who can get up hot meals and wash dishes is a helpful proposi tion, and wears well even if she isn’t too frilly. We seem to have before us a period of high prices. Everything has “gone up!” People with elastic incomes and salaries must, according to the old proverb, “cut the garment according to the cloth.” The wife who knows how to buy and to cook, and can keep her house herself is the best life preserver a man can have, and any agency that instructs her to that end is a benefit to the community.— Detroit Free Press. Tracing Origin of Myths. In ancient Egypt was a tale of a master who heat his slave for a fan cied offense, only to find that the slave had disobeyed in order to save the master’s life. This same legend turns up in Wales with a dog as its hero. A similar myth sprang up in a Chicago slum the other day—a story of a “devil baby” sent to punish a fa ther who was cruel to his wife. In all these we read the pathetic record of defenseless folk protecting them selves as best they can by their wits. Many Stars Hard to See. There Is a good deal of difference as science has lately found out, in the vis ibility of stars and planets when view ed through a telescope by daylight. This varies according to the color of the heavenly bodies. The red or yel low stars are much more easily seen than the white ones. Unless the teles cope is focused with the greatest ac curacy often an extremely bright star will he absolutely lost against daylight field. In Woman’s Realm Pretty and Comparatively Inexpensive Party Frock That May Be Made at Home—Midwinter Millinery of the Latest and Most Approved Types. Nearly every girl would rather have two or three pretty and inexpensive party frocks than one elaborate and high-priced one, and it is a real tri umph for any woman when she con trives to make art outrival money in securing beauty in her apparel. It can’t always be done, but in party frocks there is the best of chances. And it is much the same in sports clothes. In both, color plays the lead ing part and bolli give wide range to the fancy of the designer. Material for evening and dance frocks, like those for sports clothes, have a defi nite character. And the sume colors and patterns that appear in silks are copied in Inexpensive cottons, so that the clever and original designer can get lovely effects in either. The pretty party gown shown here is made of net, and a net top lace over underslip of white taffeta. The underslip is adorned with six narrow ruffles of taffeta about the bottom. Each little ruffle, instead of a hem, has a narrow fringe, made by fraying the silk to the depth of a half inch, and the effect of the frayed edges is very soft and dainty. Two flounces of the net-top lace ex tend about the sides and front of the dress, but, at the back, a straight panel of net is gathered in at the waistline. Little blossoms, made of ribbon. DISTINCT TYPES IN MIDWINTER MILLINERY. hang by their stems in a row on each flounce. Every time the dancer moves they are thrown into a gay flutter. The art of the designer shines in them, and in the girdle, with big butterfly bow at the back, made of silk shot with silver. There is a wreath of tiny silk roses posed against the girdles and it gives this adorable dress a final touch of dainty elegance. None of the materials used is costly. The tale of winter millinery is near ly told. One sees at tearooms and matinees, in restaurants and along Fifth avenue, hats in satins—sedate and gay (mostly gay)—that bespeak dreams of spring. The models shown include three dis tinct types of midwinter millinery, all trimmed with fur. For a dress hat there is a graceful sailor shape cov ered with taupe velvet. The velvet is crushed in soft folds about the crown and laid smoothly on the brim, which WHERE ART OUTRIVALS MONEY. sports hat de luxe. The shape of its crown and the delicate gray of the soft felt, make a delightful background for the fascinating landscape which ap pears to have lit upon the hat with considerable force. Surely nothing less than an earthquake could have produced square clouds, a rickety little house and an animal that might be either a sheep or a cow. A road, such, as all five-year-old artists put in their landscapes, wiggles across the fore ground, while the background is given over to hushes and birds equal in size. These marvelous things are outlined with colored worsteds and make an adorable hat, whose only other adorn ment is a binding of fur. Au all-round hat —conservative and becoming—belongs in every wardrobe. Nothing could qualify better than the black velvet hat with tarn crown and a plume-like hand of fur at the left side, which is a niece of sensible and smart headwear. Winter millinery makes an impressive exit after a most artistic performance, with such hats as these. Pocket Idea. Instead of putting your squnre patch pockets on your new satin frock nt perfectly symmetrical right angles, try applying them in diamond shape. Sew only the two bottom .sides of the square to the frock, and button the uppermost point to the frock, so that the result is a pocket with practically (wo openings. It is surprising what an unusual effect this gives to a frock, es pecially if fur buttons on the pockets carry out the fur trimming on the frock. is finished with needlework. This is done with silver thread in long and. short stitches, forming silver pyramids about the brim edge. For trimming, a big star cut from moleskin Is ap pliqued to the crown and brim with long stitches of silver thread. Such a hat may be used instead of the well beloved black velvet picture hat, and divide honors with it for elegance and distinction. The second Hat is a charming little,
