No man or woman in their senses
would have run into that room of tire
and dame that faced her across the
landing: only a child, with a child’s lack
Os 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 tire
stretching out envious, greedy tongued
of flame to lap at her as she passed.
"’Im!" she cried. "Paul, my tine gen
tleman dad!"
Then she gave a scream that sounded
loud and shrilly, echoing above the roar
Os the flames, reaching the oars 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" she
was suddenly conscious once again that
the doctor was speaking to her. looking
at her with eyes full of a kindly interest }

like yourself to be living this life. It can

Ho knew something of their story -the
dead woman s and her own this elderly
man with the kind eyes and the soft
Devonshire voice. Betty. In her fear and
loneliness, had confided something of it
to him during these days that had fol
lowed Mrs Rimington's seixure. The doc
tor had been keenly interested He had
the shrewd Devonshire brain as well as
the soft Devonshire voice, and it had
come to him more than once lately that
some very strong motive must have lain
behind Mrs. Itimington's unusual action.
Like Betty herself, he had more than
once asked himself the question—what
was that communication Mrs. Rimington
had been about to make w’hen she had
been stricken down by paralysis?
"1 don't think 1 shall be able to stay,"
Betty said. "My nerve seems gone."
A week ago she would not have said
this, but the events that had come so
swiftly upon her in these crowded days
had shown her her own weakness. A
week ago, too, despair would have si
lenced her She would have known of
no place of refuge to which to turn. To
da.' it was diffeernt only that morning
she had heard from Edith. Her sister
was still at the Chantrey and had asked
Betty to join her there-. Anthony Bar
rington was still very ill. but he was re
covering; and. though his eyesight was
gone beyond ail hope, he was more cheer
ful- more reconciled.
Bitter Thoughts.
"Sometimes," Edith had written, "it
almost seems to me as though he recog
nized me. Soon—-soon when he is strong
enough, 1 shall tell him the truth, and Dr.
Merton has promised to speak. The birth
of their little son l as humanized them
both wonderfully. Only yesterday 1 heard
from Mrs. Merton saying that her own
happiness was so grgat that she could not
bear to think that any other woman was
less happy her husband had told her all

The Making of a Pretty Girl
The \\ r el/-Groomed Miss
of the century, you speak ol her as be
ing well groomed. .
Practically, it means that the girl in
question is most delicately fastidious in
everything pertaining 4o her toilet and
to her personality.
The well groomed girl is found be

companion; there are thousands of her

Os course, it is the ideal of every

J her time to the process achieves no
i greater success than the one who nur

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
f’oin the shoddy materials which ina.sk
under that name.
In Germany and France, where girls
are still brought up with the idea that
they uiii some day marry and have a
household to take care of and to buy
for. the young girl is regularly trained
in tile matte of buying. She is taken
to market by the rook or by her moth
er. and instructed tn 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 good
and bad materials, between the lasting
and valuable, though possibly more ex
pensive goods, and the cheap and ta\\-
dr\ things, made to please the nassing
fancy.
Despite i he fact that Pal is makes the
fashions. French women wear theii
clothes longei 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
rial so that it is absolutely impossible

tedious, and consists In sort of weaving
of the broken threads, but it saves good
clothing that would otherwise have to

that these remarkable menders are be
ginning to ply their trade over here.

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 and rainy weathe.. a
simple little afternoon gown for teas
and one muslin or lingerie frock for
parties.
This, with the left-overs of her pres

Anty Drudge’s Advice to Mr. Newlywed.
I
Mr. Newlywed—“ Yes, we’ve got a fine little dove cote.
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 some
Fels-Naptha soap and she can fool the janitor. Won’t
need boiling water. Just use it cool or lukewarm.
Ruh the clothes lightly and they’ll be like snow.”
“If 1 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 >ut that Fels-Naptha
cleanses things more thoroughly in cool ot
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.

easting 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 thin 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

corn starch pudding."
Then he plucked up courage and

"Wrinkles." he read, "ire deepest

"And anger." he read on. "when it is

Lysander John scratched his head,

he sighed, and read again.

"To keep young, he should never find

"If the dinner is not ready on time

he waits he will knock off five years.
"If his newspaper has been torn up

"If the meat is overdone, and the po

But Lysander 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
when his wife came home two hours
later - laughing, but It was the laugh
