No man or woman in their senses would have run into that room of fire and flame that faced her across the landing: only a child, with a child's lack of fear, thinking only of the one end in view’—to reach that still figure that she could see lying there by the bed whose draperies were all aflame. • A Horrible Sight. But Bess reached the bedside, the Are stretching out envious, greedy tongued of flame to lap at her as she passed. " ’Im!” she cried. “Paul, my fine gen tleman dad!” Then she gave a scream that sounded loud and shrilly, echoing above the roar of the flames, reaching the ears of the men who had come at that moment quietly and stealthily to the door of the shop. She could not tell how’ it had happened, but she saw that the corner of the cloth that had been on the table was fast clutched in Saxe's hand. He must have pulled it and the lamp which had stood upon it to the floor, where it had burst. The creeping, burning oil had left no beauty in Paul Saxe. He was a thing at which the women who had fawned on him and admired and courted him would have cried out in shrinking, sickening horror. "Oh, my lor’, 'e’s dead! 'E's dead! Oh, look, 'e's dead!” the child cried. She cast up her long, thin arms with a shriek and fell forward across the feet of the man who was her father. The doctor looked down at the still fig ure on the bed for a moment longer, then, with a practised hand, drew the sheet up over the white face. "Death came as a crowning mercy to Mrs. Rimington, Miss Lumsden. You have no cause for regret.” His tongue ran on in glib professional phrases which passed Betty’s conscious ness by like smoke. She only knew that while she had wept and sorrowed in selfish grief, this woman’s life had gone out, and she had passed without a hand to soothe or a voice to comfort her. "I knew It is no business of mine” —-site was suddenly conscious once again that the doctor was speaking to her, looking at her with eyes full of a kindly interest * wSRW w The best food that comes in the grocer a basket—Faust Spaghetti— more nourish ing than many times its cost in other foods.

I could not sit still long enough to eat, and could sleep hardly any I was in so much misery with pains in my side and back. “A year ago last spring my doctor gave me up, and he was surprised to see me this spring and to see my condition.

Your letter will he opened, read and answered by a nvmau uuu kvlu iu sirkt confidence. of the century, you speak of her as be ing well groomed. Practically, it means that the girl in question is most delicately fastidious in everything pertaining to her toilet and to her personality. The well groomed girl is found be hind the counter, next to a slovenly companion; there are thousands of her in offices clicking the typewriter, you will see her on the farm, where she is so charmingly ami becomingly dressed in her simple little frocks that she I stamps herself at once as well bred, sensible and immaculately clean, no i matter what sort of work she may be doing. Os course, it is the ideal of every [society girl to be known as perfectly ' j groomed, but. the girl who can give all her time to the process achieves no greater success than the one who hur ries out quickly in the morning to a day’s work and preserves during long hours of toil that same characteristic which we recognize at once and call good grooming. Now, the first principle of the well gloomed girl is absolute cleanliness. ’ 1 She takes her daily hot scrub at night religiously as sh< says her prayers, i and if she has little time to call her I own she systematizes this time so as to get the very utmost out of it. Hott much time tvomen lose loiter- I ing about their dressing and thinking of other things while they are pretend ; ing to attend to their toilet, i No Make-Up. I Good grooming has nothing to do I with makeup in any form. On the contrary, the* ind t hose ■ in busim ss who are pre-eminently well ■ groomed show no trace of powder, paints or artifice of any kind. i This doesn't mean that they dress in .i -cverc masculine or unbet oming man. ,' ner. Hut it does mean that they are i appropriately dressed. They do not wear laces and furbelows at the wrong time, and as far as the business girl is I com l ined, the most expensive part of th< v.ardrobt is that worn during the ! I day time, while the flimsy, inexpensive I 1 but pretty frocks are reserved for even- II ing wear. J The well groomed girl obtains the i color in her cheeks from daily exer ’ > else and from the friction of a bath l brush, which she uses with her daily i hath Her hair is lustrous, soft and. above all. with never a suggestion of ' dandruff. Her scalp is clean and shin ’ ing as her brow. She will do her hair ' up in the simplest way that is still be- I coming to her and leave elaborate coif ' fures for evening. Her hands are daintiness itself, for ' I every girl has time enough to look after I ■ her hands and nails, if she really wants II to. Her boots ir< perf. ctly varnished 'land well fitted. It she has had a sen- sible mother, the girl who is well groomed has been taught how to buy Very Important. Personally, I consider this as impor tant as how to cook, and I don’t think the girl’s education is complete until she is given some ideas about the value of materials used in clothing, unless she can tell good linen, wool and cotton from the shoddy materials which mask under that name. In Germany and Erance, where girls are still brought up with the idea that they will some day marry and have a household to take care of and to buy for, the young girl is regular!}’ trained in the matter of buying. She is taken to market by the cook or by her moth er. and instructed In prices of all food stuffs, just as she is taught how to cook them. She is also taken around to the shops and learns to differentiate between goou and bad materials, between the lasting and valuable, though possibly more ex pensive goods, and the cheap and taw dry tilings, made to please the passing fancy. Despite the fact that Paris makes the fashions, French women wear their clothes longer than Americans do, and they have a hundred and one ways of renovating, remodeling and changing last year’s garments and making them strictly up to date. First of all, there is the wonderful “stoppeuse.” This is the person who can mend a tear in any kind of mate i ial so that it is absolutely impossible to detect it. The process is long and tedious, and consists in sort of weaving of the broken threads, but it saves good clothing that would otherwise have to be thrown away, and I am glad to see that these remarkable menders are be ginning to ply their trade over here. Wants Somebody '‘Cute.” One little girl naively states that fa ther will “buy her anything she wants," but unfortunately she has no mother to tell her what to get, and she is going to boarding school in the fall. Sh» wants something that will be “cute" as well as within the regulation of the school, which calls for a uniform. I hope that she can find an older woman in her town who will go with her to the shop and buy her the simple tailored suit of good material, the long, warm coat for tough ami rainy weather, a simple little afternoon gown for teas and one muslin or lingerie frock for parties. This, with the left -overs of her pres ent wardrobe anti the middy biouses and kilted skirts which she so sensibly is wearing notv, together with the school uniform, should be all that sh? will need.

But it’s one of those swell apartment houses and they don’t allow any washing done. Won’t stand for the smell and muss.” Anty Drudge ‘‘Poor boy. you must be.nearly bankrupt with big laundry bills. But, get your wife sntre Fels-Naptha soap and she can fool the janitor. Won t need huding water. Just use it cool or lukewarm. Rub the clothee lightly and they’ll be like snow.” “If I only had some place to boil them I’d wash lots of my light clothes myself — the laundry wears them out so fast,’ ’ said a young woman who lives in two rooms. Then she heard about Fels-Naptha. Now she is washing those things her self, without hot water, and doing it far better than if she boiled them. She has found out that Fels-Naptha cleanses things more thoroughly in cool 01 lukewarm water, in little time, than if they were boiled till Doomsday. If you live in a room, apartments or occupy a whole house, take a chapter out of this young woman's experience. Boiling is unnecessary when you use Fels-Naptha, either in winter or summer. All that’s needed is cool or lukewarm water, and even a bowl or basin will do for a few things. Follow directions on the red and green wrapper. Daysey Mayme and Ider Folks Ry Frances L. Garside FIRST AID TO THE MEN. Bysander john appleton was plainly worried, and he show ed the source of his anxiety by casting envious looks at his wife's youthful face and uneasy • glances at the reflection of his own face in the glass. "She looks so much younger than I," he said, “she will finally look like my granddaughter, and then where will I be?” He had an inspiration one day, and moved with caution in acting upon it. He looked at his wife's pink cream, and then at the white. "I'd just as soon,” he muttered, "dip my face in corn starch pudding." Then he plucked up courage and asked her to which measure she at tributed her success in keeping y’oung. “To happy thoughts," she replied "To the concentration of my mind on the joy of hearing the birds twitter, and seeing the tender buds burst into bloom.” Happy’ thoughts! It sounded easy, but how to think them’.’ Mrs. Lysander John noting his de sire to grow young, offered to write a series of rules. "Nothing would please me better,” he said, and the next even ing, alone in his den. he read the rules his wife had prepared. "Wrinkles.” he read, "are deepest when plowed by anger. "And anger." he read on. “when it is man's anger, is always without cause." Lysander John scratched his head, and wondered full five minutes. Then he sighed, and read again "When a man scolds about dry goods bills it causes that disfiguring wrinkle between the eyebrows. “Commands that his wife spend less give birth to a network of wrinkles on the forehead, and many a man has brought a premature sagging of his throat by roaring about the price of his wife’s hat. Irritation because his meals are cold takes the luster from his eyes, and complaint that the meat is not well done will make his cheeks flabby. "To keep young, he should never find fault, never scold, never sulk, never storm: he should recognize the futility of all emotion that is opposed to Happy Thoughts. "If tiie dinner is not ready on time. he should remember that by sitting joy fully down to read his newspaper while he waits he will knock off five years. If his newspaper has been torn up by the children, or chewed up by the Pup, he should smile in content and read the mottoes on the wall. "If the meat is overdone, and the po tatoes underdone, he should remem ber that mentioning these facts in any other than a pleased tone will cause his hair to turn gray and fall out. “He should laugh blithely when the dressmaker and the plumber”— But Ly sander John read no more. He felt that to be able to laugh blithely when these occasions arose he should rehearse, and he began to laugh. And that was what he was still doing w’hen his wife came home two hours later—laughing, but it was the laugh tef of a man whose senses had fled. THE PRICE DROPPED.
