I? Dr. Findlay finished his ques
tion there was a notable like
ness to the plausible, suavely
persuasive Ed Dulaney of an
earlier day—had his dead wife been
there to recognize it—in the expres
sion which now came over the face
of “Dr. Hathama,” expert in mental
healing.
“Did you ever read Dumas’ ‘Hang
ing at Le Piroche,’ Findlay?”
’ “No.” The younger man’s tone was
t a bit crisp. Evasion displeased his
r scientific mind.
The older man seemed not to no
, tice. “Well, in closing, the author
i leaves his readers at liberty to select
three versions. One appeals to re
c ligion, one to science, one to just
■ plain common sense. For my part, I
1 think two versions of explanation for
1 our series of mysteries will be
1 ’ enough.”
• Something in the kindly, quizzical
expression of his companion dispelled
the irritation of Newton Findlay
i while it riveted his attention.
! “You have just had.” continued Du
! laney. “the scientific explanation. And
■ since Roger did not really die. we
i need not take religious theory into
; consideration./Which leaves us with
our third version, that of common
sense. Will you pardon a friend for
p.ssuming in words--—despite the short
time I have seen you and Miss Gates
together, I feel certain that my as
sumption is correct —will you pardon
me for suggesting that you put acer-
; tain question to Rosalie when your
! relations become such as to make it
i possible?’’
I Newton flushed hotly, furiously, in
! dignantly and yet—why try to hide
I from this man the glow that warmed
; his heart?
The other man did not wait for his
‘ stammered rejoiner.
i “Just a moment, Findlay. I put
i that badly. I should have merely
suggested, as one who tries feebly to
understand the intricate problem of
1 human nature, that you make it easy
I for Rosalie when she comes to you
i as j think she will come quite soon
! with a confession,”
I Only one short scene, we will call
it “The Third Version” —is required
' to complete this drama of the ouija
I board and tipping table.
, The rising curtain discloses Rosa-
I lie holding off an eager, anxious lov
ler with pathetically outstretched,
' slim white hands.
‘.‘But listen, listen!’ she is insist
! ing between sobs. “I tell you that 1
had even gone so far as to get a
wretched medium to sleutn about
” and she was there —had fixed things
—the dav the table talked. But I
really did not know about it until
afterward. My own conduct so dis
gusted me that I would not listen or
see the woman—just sent her money
and dismissed her.
“You believe me, don’t you, New
ton? I must have been mad to
have loved you so, for now I hate
you! Fool that I am! I hate you—
because I am still idiot enough to
love you.”
Who would have recognized the
calm, cool, perfectly poised Miss
Rosalie. Gates in the dishevelled girl
Newton gathered perforce in his
strong arms.
“It is only a real woman who can
hate with impunity the man she
loves,” he whispered.

THE COUNTRY HOME
• CONDUCTED BY MRS.W.H.FELTON
What’s the Matter With New-fash
ioned Iron?
A good housekeeper living in the
eastern part of Georgia, writes me
she purchased an iron kettle and
cannot use it because it rusts so
badly. She has tried many things
to clean it, but it collects rust all
the time.
I have also a large-sized stove fry
ing pan. If I use it at all it is only
to heat water quickly, such as dish
water, etc. It is all the time coated
with a yellowish or brownish rust.
If I should attempt to fry meat or
fish in my frying pan, I think I
would have to eat a portion of iron
rust along with them.
I have, however, in my possession
what I call my stove dinner pot,
tlyjt is a fine grade of iron, not
coarse or heavy, that I can boil my
nice white things in it and never
rust them.
It is an old one, perhaps fifty
years or upward, but it has always
been a dandy for my purposes. It
cleans as nicely as anything could
clean, and I appreciate it highly.
Evidently we have struck some
rusting sort of iron cook vessels.
The fancy kettles will not stand
hard usage like iron. I had a very
nice nickel-plated kettle holding a
gallon and lo and behold, there came
in it a tiny hole and it is no good
to me. I find my galvanized kitchen
ware will develop a hole, a little
one, but it is no good any more to
me. I wish some of our smart
Alecks could tell my friend what she
can use to keep the rust out of her
iron kettle, and then I will thank
him, too. Rusty things are a nui
sance.
I’he Federation of Woman’s Clubs
The great big' federation conven
tion held in the city of Atlanta dur
ing the week ending November
was a notable occasion. There were
said to be between three ana four
hundred delegates in attendance. I
spent most of the entire day with
the convention last Friday.
It was really a great big occasion.
When the crowd gathered in the
First Presbyterian church, well
dressed, intelligent and earnest. It
made me think there are some big
things to grow out of such zeal and
patriotism of Georgia women.
Before the Cotton States and In
ternational Exposition was held in
Atlanta, 1895, there was but one
woman’s club in Georgia, if I am
rightly informed, a small “Sorosis”
club.
At the Chicago exposition, there
were more than fifty, which exploit
ed their progress by taking space In
the Woman’s building. At the close
of the Chicago exposition I had the
honor of being selected to collect
and prepare the history of all these
women’s expositions, with which I
was very familiar at that time. It
was a delightful task for me, and I
gave six weeks of diligent work to
this service in the early summer of
1894.
When I had finished the task I
came homdk to enter upon woman’s
work in the Cotton States, Atlanta
Exposition.
I am not going to try to tell you
how many woman’s clubs are now in
active service in the United States,
or even in Georgia. The newspapers
can tell you in detail as they printed
the statistics of the meeting which
I attended in Atlanta on Friday, No
vember 5. But I can give the read
ers of the Country Home column a
tribute to Mrs. J. A. Hays, of Monte
zuma, Ga., who is the president, and
will remain its Georgia leader until
next year’s meeting.
I had some acquaintance with her
honored father more than twenty
five years ago, and was delighted
measure. Size 36 requires 3 5-8
yards 32-inch material and 3-4 yards
36-inch contrasting. Price 15 cents.

in sizes 1,2, 4 and 6 years. Size 4
requires 2

of character. I was proud to cail

I was that much prepossessed In
favor of Mrs. Hays, when she was
elected to her important position as
president of the Georgia Federation

her many victories, if hew life is

The Empire style was heavy and
ornate without the graceful lines
and delicate ornament of the pre
vious periods. This period was in
troduced during Napoleon’s reign.
The illustration shows an Empire
sideboard with richly carved legs and
pillars and paneled doors. Mahoganv
is generally used for the Empire
style.
Bloused Waistline
In New Silhouette
In the new winter models, the
bloused waistline is everywhere ap
parent because it makes for the
youthful silhouette. The waistline
has also been dropped several inches
below the normal designation, an
other concession to youthfulness as
well' as to the mature figure.
Paris Favors Brown
And Blue for Fall
Although Paris is sponsoring black
for Its favorite color this season, it
is not much in evidence in the suits.
Dark blue and brown are the pre
dominant shades, although several
designers are showing suits of green.

To clean gilt frames, grate a fresh

OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O.THOMAS
Taking Care of Things
How many of the readers of this
department of the Tri-Weekly Jour
nal can tell whether the garden, or
chard, pigs, chickens, cows were a
profit or an expense?
There is one class that thinks it
smart to say . “What’s the use? At
the end of the year I know whether
I have money or debts.” That is the
same sort that buys four foot wire
and then snarls and is generally in
sulting to the wife because the
chickens eat the vegetables. Half
way doing things makes the work
doubly hard on others. I heard a
woman complaining “muchly” be
cause her chickens were caught and
sent home. She had a fifty-by-one
hundred-and-fifty-foot lot and want
ed a pig, ten hens and a cow. "That
was why I moved into a suburb, I
want chickens. They will eat their
heads off shut up in my back yard.”
I asked her how much they cost
her, and she promptly said: “Noth
ing, I give my scraps and milk to
the pig.” Her mother said: “Better
get rid of them, Eliza, you don’t
want other f Iks to feed your hens
and fall out with you.”
But when she thought it over she
decided to give up the pig and keep
her hens and her neighbors’ good
will, too. That may not seem in
line with keeping books, knowing
profit and loss, but it is, for there
is more in this world than just
money. I know two orchards, in one
the fruit is carefully gathered and
sold, even the specked is in the
measure, and if a neighbor ever
gets any its a swap. There is a big
family to enjoy the other orchard

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
I would like to write to you for
advice if I knew your correct ad
dress, and will you please print it in
the next issue of The Journal if you
get this card? I am just guessing
where to send this. I don’t want to
write a letter until I know for sure
your address, so please print address
as early as possible and you will
greatly oblige MAX.
Address letter Miss Mary Mer
edith, Advice to Lonely Girls,
Atlanta Tri-Weekly Journal.
Here comes a lonely girl for ad
vice. I am fifteen years old. Am I
old enough to go with the boys? Is
a boy twenty-five years old too old
for me to go with? Should I let a
boy kiss my hand? If not, what
should I say to him when he tries
to? Should I go car riding with a
boy alone? Well, I will describe my
self: I have brown eyes, black hair,
very fair complexion. Do you think
I am pretty? Some people tell me 1
am. What should I say to them
when they tell me so? Thank y°. u
for vour advice. Hoping to see this
in print, A LONELY GIRL.
A Lonely Girl: Your sweet
heart is old enough to have
some sense. But even at that
I think he is rather old for you.
You are still a child, and it is
better to go with a boy more
suitable to your age. The older
ones put foolish notions in a
young girl’s head. Kissing a
lady’s hand, in the olden days,
was done by the gallant nobles
of the French courft, by the
upper classes in English and
American society. But it is a
thing of the past, except between
lovers, and there are only a few
who would bother with a hand
when a girl’s lips are offered.
But be careful and do not in
dulge in such a dangerous sport.
I do not think it a wise thing
for a girl to go automobile
driving after dark with a young
man alone. If you are consul- •
ered pretty, do not spoil It by
being , vain. Forget your looks
after you leave your room. And
when people compliment you,
say ‘‘Thank you, it is nice of
you to pay me such a compli
ment."
I am a girl eighteen years of age,
and am coming to you for advice. 1
am in love with a Cuban boy. His
father is senator of Cuba. He is
! nineteen years of age. He says he
* loves me dearly and I am sure I
I love him. Should I kiss him? Should
,we walk from church together? He
has asked me to go to Cuba with
I him (he means to marry me). What
should I do? He says his father
does not mind his marrying an Amer
ican girl. Thank you. „„„
BLUE-EYED ELIZABETH.
Are vou sure you are really in
love with this Cuban boy, or is
't because he has swept you ott
vour feet with his impulsive for
eign temperament. He may make
you an excellent husband, but it
is a risky thing to do. to .marry
and go far beyond your kindred,
to a country where the customs
differ, and the people so hot
/ headed. But it is a question you
will have to decide for yourself.
Find out all you can about the
young man before you pledge
yourself to him.
I am a litle brown eyed girl from
the land of flowers. I Vill be thii
teen soon, weigh 105. height, 5 feet. 4
inches, light hair, real fair com
plexion. Do I weigh
height 9 What colors will suit me
best 9 How should I wear my hair,
as it is very long, and I do not• car ®
to cut it off? How long should I
wear my dresses? Which will be
worn the most this winter, tarns or
hats? Do I write a good hand for
a little girl of my age? Many thanks
to you, Miss Mary.
Lo\ BIRD.
You write a very neat, clear
hand for one of your age. Also
your spelling and composition is
very good. You weigh enough
for a growing person. Most any
color would suit you. Blues, in
all shades, pink, coral, red, is
especially good and dark groon.
Why don’t you wear it in curls
down your back or plait it,
about six inches from the head,
then let it flow loose, hold it
with rubber bands, with barrett
over it. Tams are very good this
year on young girls. Wear your
dresses a little below the knees.
I am coming to you for advice. I
am a girl twenty. Am in love with
a man twenty-seven. He is a hard
working poor man, everybody gives
him a good name that know him.
They say he is a good working, hon
est boy. But my father objects to
me talking to ’him. He says that he
isn’t fit for me to be with, that he
is a poor boy and has nothing.
Papa says that I can’t bring him to
my home and talk to him. He don’t
want me to talk to the boys at all.
So what must I do. For I know that
the twenty-seven year old man loves
me. Please answer through The
Journal.
BROKEN-HEARTED GIRL. ,
You are old enough to know
right from wrong, and if you
are positive the young man has
nothing against him. except be
ing poor, I see no reason why
you cannot continue your friend
ship with him. Perhaps your fa
father ig ambitious for you. He
might thank if you keep com
pany with this man. it might
ruin your chances with one
who has more of this world’s
goods to bestow upon you. But
you surely know your own mind,
and if the youhg man you love
is worthy of you, pay no atten
! tion to your father.
I am a girl of twenty, ' coming
! for advice. I am not crazy about
all boys, but there is one boy I
dearly love, and I don’t think I can
ever care for another. He said he
loved me better than anyone on
earth, and he has proved it up un
til one day he went with another
girl and me, too, and I wouldn’t
write to him any more. Do you
think loves xuo stilli X have al-
pie, pear or peach for some on off
the place.
Guests go to that home and some
child Is sure to come in with a treas
ure he or she has put away for just
such an offering. That family sells
lots of fruit, but it is the surplus.
They keep books and could tell you
exactly what the- orchard pays each
year, and each child takes an inter
est in the fruit sold because there
was not one of them stinted. “Eat
all you want, but not waste,” is the
rule.
I know another family. They live
in town and have always had a fine
garden. Half of it is planted in rye
every fall, and the other half is in
winter vegetables. Next spring the
rye is turned under and that side has
the vegetables, and peas are planted
where vegetables were. There is al
ways enough sold to pay for the
money actually spent, and a little
over. There are chickens there, and
the rye and peas lessen the cost of
eggs.
At first it may be monotonous to
set down every nickel that comes in
or goes out, but it pays. Some farms
are not fenced with any idea of util
izing the by-products. If the cotton
and corn are in the same field. I often
see it that way. There is not much
chance for the pasture to be used.
It’s hard to get out of a rut. Old
habits cling to one and are often
detrimental, but common sense should
teach one that there is a better way
than to follow the same plan year
in and year out, and lose money all
the time. Mentally lazy people are
all over this land. They do not want
to stop and plan next year’s work
and see if their plans are going to
be profitable. If not, why not? Work
on your plans and live up to them.
ways loved him, and he said he had
loved me from the first time he saw
me. Do you think he will ever
go with me any more? Or how can
I win him back? This girl I men
tioned he didn’t go with her only a
few times, and now he doesn’t go
with anyone. I haven’t seen him
in a long time. Is there any harm
in me driving our car? Please print
this as I have written before, put
R. on my letter. “R.”
R.:
Ypu cannot expect your boy
friend to think highly of you
when you hay’e let him see that
you are jearous. Perhaps he
didn’t care anything at all for
the other girl, but wanted to see
if he could make you jealous.
Should you have the opportunity
to see him again ask him to call
to see you some evening. Or
you might send him a picture
post card with a line or two
about the picture, printed on it,
and he will readily see that you
ace thinking of him, and if he
his any love for you, and wish
es to the friendship,, he
really Will write to you.
Bassinet, a Help

young mothers. 'Jhis can be made of

arrangement makes it much easier
for the mother and saves the baby
