Tall, gaunt lonely, the w Indows shut tered, they looked like haggard ®y®s closed in death; the neglected porches, the ragged hushes along the walks, so stood the Haunted House "Yes" said I, "it does look haunted —and I believe It is." And when I heard the history of the gaunt house on the hill 1 knew that what I felt when I looked at it was true, and that it must be haunted, real 15' haunted, too. For the woman who built It waa haunted, haunted with the terrible ghosts of hatred, and revenge, and envy, and small ambition, and cruel bitterness of heart. Fh» built the house to flaunt It and her wealth In the face of her own sis ter who died alone and friendless in the very shadow of the haunted house. And In the haunted house with the woman who built it lived sycophants and toadies and cowardly schemers, who flattered the owner of the house and made a silly dupe of her. with messages fr--m what they called the ••pirlt world And the woman who built th® haunted house died in a sanitarium, driven there by h®r own bitter hatred of her own kith and kin. Haunted! I wouldn't live tn a house with a history like that until 1 had had every brick and -very stone and every bit of wood in it scrubbed and deodorized and disinfected from the cellar to the last beam in the garret.

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am nineteen. About a rear ago I met a young man some six years my senior We are quite congenial and have become ro.il good friends. Ho has a friend, nearer his own age. whom he has known for years. They like each other very much and it is quite prob able they will become engaged. With out any thought of being untrue to her. he has fallen tn the habit of tolling me all their little quarrels anil asking my abides Should I allow those confi dences? H. T. E. He 1s not loyal tn the other girl to tell you all this, and his need of a con fidante shows a lather weak mind. Neither are you loyal to the other wom an to listen. And. If you know her or not. you owe her that much respect—a loyalty one woman should always feel for another. WHAT COULD YOU E-XPECTT Dear Miss Fairfax I am eighteen years of age and re cently met a young girl through flrta tlon. 1 love this girl dearly and 1 think my loy e is returned but while out with her on different occasions she has flirted with other young men 1 spoke to her about the matter, but it is of no avail. M. G. You met her through flirtation, and will lose her the same way. The next time you arc attracted by a girl, see that you make her acquain tance In a legitimate way No man even the dog on the hearthstone looked as if he had the blues. Don't you know- what was the mat ter? The Smiths live in a haunted house, and the ghost was walking just as you rang the bell The cruel, haunt ling ghost of jealousy and distrust, and all her assumed smiles could not keep your blood from chilling The house where the two sisters lived - one of them Is a beauty and she laughs at the other, who is very plain And the other is clever and she sneers at the one who Is stupid And a miser ly old father watches them both with a kind of satiric and biting humoi Haunted, all haunted, every house that is inhabited by hate and anger and envy I And the lightest minded child knows I it as soon as he steps across the thresh i old and shows that he knows it in every ! line of his childish face. The woman who comes for the laun : drv knows it and so does the boy who delivers the groceries at the back door. The ash man gets away from the place as quickly as he can. and the v ery dogs slink bv the gate with a smothered bark Haunted, from collar to garret, every mv of them 1 wouldn't live in a bou e like that If I gel it furnished, boated, t i’l'S'i for nothing wou’d you’ respects a girl who makes a flirtation the basis of acquaintance. The friend ship must be started right to go right. See that you start your next one right. DON'T CONSIDER IT A MOMENT. Dear Miss Fairfax: lam seventeen and in lore with a girl who works for the same firm as I do. I am making enough money to meet my personal needs, but when 1 am 21 I will gei $,i0,000. which was left mo by my father. The gif] has asked to marry me. She also promised to work until 1 get the money ANXIOUS. In th» first place, y ou are too young to get married. In the second place, you would show little self-respect if you marry a girl who will help support you. Walt till you get your inheri tance. and with it, I hope, there will come a wider understanding of your duties and responsibilities. You will find then. I believe, that your ideals have changed, and will congratulate yourself that you didn't marry a girl who so plainly shows that your money is her object. YOU ARE POWERLESS.

Ho is very smooth-tongued and 1 be lieve he has done his best to draw her away from me by false talking. Will you advise rue what to do to win her love back agafn? P. V. R. If you told her what you have told me, she would attribute your motive to jealousy You are powerless, unless you have a sister, or some other good friend, who can prove to her what you say you know. Girls are willful and no lover ran influence a girl after her heart has begun to stray from him. I am truly sorry for you and hop. the girl will discover her mistake before it is too late. HE DOESN'T RING TRUE, Dear Miss Fairfax 1 am seventeen, and about six months ago I met a gentleman about the same age. He has asked for my company My girl friends tell m p he j s no gen tleman. as he will go with a girl for two or three months and then leave her. I spoke to him about the matter. He said if he didn't care for me he would never ask me for my company. He says he is too young to ask my par ents for my hand. ANXIOUS. It seems to me ho is a trifler. The gossip of your friends is not to be re lied on. of course, but I do not like his attitude. He wants to monopolize your company, but says he is too young to think of an engagement. Then why should he take up your time, gain your love and keep other men away? Do You Know That I Earrings were worn so far bark as 17,12 R <'.

IN days of old a woman used her greatest energy in mashing pota toes to the consistency of cream: Tn these modern times, th® same ener ry is exerted in bringing down a gavel to call a meeting to order. Had Lysander John Appleton been present, he would have been reminded of the way his wife mashed potatoes in lire days before she sought her emancipation by the manner in which she brought down the gavel in calling to order a meeting of the Look On The Bright Side society. The club is composed entirely of wo men. "We who have Man to put up with." is an oft-quoted saying of the president, "are the ones who need the bright .---ide of life." it was an experience meeting. "I have been jilted by my sweet heart," spoke a girl in feeble tones, "but at last I have found a bright side. His jokes were poor and old. and now that I have lost him and I am no lon ger compelled to laugh, when I rion l feel Ilk® il. and I am not kept standing on th® cold steps late at night till he gets through telling what a wonderful man ho is." “I would add." said a sister-member arising from a back seat, "that you can also enjoy spring onions." "I have been kept awake by unneces sary noises for two nights past," said a new member, “but at least I had no bad dreams." "I am grateful." spoke a nervous looking woman, “that the automobile, doesn't make as much noise in projtor lion to its size as th® roller skate." "Hear, hear!" shouted a chorus of nervous women in loud approval. ' When 1 went to live w ith my mar ried sister." said a spinster of uncer tain years. "I found her baby a grea trial. But T rejoice to say that I am finding th® bright side. When I want a pin 1 no longer have to look all over the house for one. I go to th® baby, and always find it sticking on® in Its mouth.” -■ "m --- -• 11 - ■ ... - jO I / / fesfl You can make the most delicious hot biscuit with Eagle-Thistle SODA Here's the. way— “ Sift together one quart of flour, one-half teaspoon of salt.

"I would add." said another spin, 'thar tn seasons when mosquitoes are bad. a baby in the room is invalu able. It attracts all of them." A woman arose, dressed in deep black. There was not a ray of hope in her face. "My husband died a week ago." .she Said, "and 1 have tried ever since to find a bright sid® to my bereavement, but. a las, I can t!" In an instant 50 women were ®n the! feet, all gesticulating and talking a‘ once. One screamed this, and another screamed that. President Appletor rapped with enough energy to mash • bushel of potatoes before order w< restored. "I will ask the members." she said, "to get our bereaved sister's address, and send her a few Rrlghf Sides. As for myself. I have just one thought for our weeping sister to take home with her. It is this: At least you. knotv now where your husband is nights!” The applause was deafening A woman arose who bad lost- both 1 arms in a railroad accident. "Will you look at me," she said, "and dare tell m® there is a bright side to my condition ! ' Th® president arose with an air of genii® reproof. "Have you been grateful," sb® said, "forth/ two good legs left you for run ning to bargain sales and fires?” “My reminder to our armless sister," she continued, addressing the audience, "leads me to tell of a time wlt®n I looked on the bright side with a spirit that was undaunted. "W® live in a little country town and th® fire-fighting service was inade . quate. "One bitter night a fire destroyed our home, and all that was in It. and my husband and th® children and I just es-Jti caped with our lives. " 'What a splendid thing il is,' I sai'jM to my husband as we watched tlMSfl flames, 'to have witnessed a fire wo didn't have to run our legs off to g-jj • there before the Are department put .ref out!'
