rather than bravery to the ever-susplclous

His work a* the beach suffered that

Saturday night he had satisfied himself
that he had reached the point where he
would be justified in making use of Miss

Anfy Drudge —“ Why, what’s the matter, dear? What
are you crying about?”
Miss Prettyffirl— “Oh, my beautiful new waist is ruined
and it just makes me sick. That clumsy Will John
son upset a plate of refreshments on it last night at
the party, and spoiled all my fun. ”
Anty Drudge— “ And his, too, I’ll warrant. But dry your
eyes, dear. It was all an accident, no doubt, but you
feel so badly that you have to blame someone. Now
if you had only known of Fels-Na/itha you could have
passed it off as a joke, enjoyed yourself and spared
Will an uncotnfortable time. ”
There’s a right way and a wrong way
to do everything.
And there is a new way and an old
way to do almost everything.
The new way to wash clothes is the
l els-Naptha way —in cool or lukewarm
water, no boiling, either in winter or sum
mer, and little rubbing.
And the Fels-Naptha is the right way
as well —saves time, saves the back, saves
fuel, and the wash comes out cleaner,
sweeter, whiter.
It is up to you to choose between the
new and the old, the right and the wrong
way of doing your washing.
Simple directions for washing and
other household cleaning arc printed on
the inside of the red and green wrapper.
Brotherson's being at home. Nothing
would have lured Sweetwater out for a
moment, though he had no reason to ex
pect that the affair he was anticipating
would come off till early evening.
But It did. Late in the afternoon he
heard the expected steps go by his door—
a woman's- step. But they were not
alone. A man’s accompanied them.
What man? Sweetwater hastened to
satisfy himself on this point by laying
his ear to the partition.
Instantly the whole conversation be
came audible.
“An errandl? Oh, yes, I have an errand!”
explained the evidently unwelcome In
truder, In her broken English. “This is
my brother Pierre. My name is Celeste.
Ledru. I understand English ver well.
I have worked much in families. But he
understands nothing. He is all French.
He accompanies me for—for the—what
you call It? les convenances. He knows
nothing of the beesiness."
Sweetwater in the darkness of his clos
et laughed in his gleeful appreciation.
“Great!" was his comment. “Just great!
She has thought of everything—or Mr.
Gryce has."
Meanwhile, the girl was proceeding with
increased volubility.
“What is this beesiness. monsieur? I
have something to sell—so you Americans
speak Something you will want much—
ver’ sacred, ver’ precious. A souvenir
from the tomb, monsieur Wilu you give
ton—no, that is foo leetle—fifteen dollars
for it? It Is worth—Oh, more, much
more to the true lover. Pierre, tu es
bete. Tlens-tu droit sur ta chaise. M.
Brotherson est un monsieur comme II
taut.”
This adjuration, uttered in sharp repri
mand and with but little of the French
grace, may or may not have been under
stood by the unsympathetic man they
were meant to impress. But the name
which accompanied them his own name,
never heard but once before in this
house, undoubtedly caused the silence
which almost reached the point of em
barrassment, before he broke it witli the
harsh remark;
“Your French may he good, but it does
not go with me. Yet it is more intelligi
ble than your English. What do you
want here? What have you in that bag,
you wish to open, and what do you m an
by the sentimental trasli with whic’n ,„n
offer it?”
“Ah, monsieur has not memory of
me.” came in the sweetest tones of a
really seductive voice “You astoi ish
me. monsieur. 1 thought you knew
everybody else does —Oh, tout le rror.de.
monsieur, that I was Miss Chailoner's
maid —near her when other p ■ ;.'c v. ere

from some one. Sweetwater thought

t>§ New Dances to Succeed the Turkey Trot
THERE is a difference between the
dances of last year and those
which will be popular this com
ing season.
Last to dance well you had only
to imitate some one else.
This year, to be a successful dancer
in the drawing room as on ,the stage,
you must have imagination and origi
nality.
As far as the stage goes, tire turkey
trot and similar dances are a thing of
the past, and nothing is so completely
dead as a thing that is passed in toe
theatrical world.
The dances which we do could be
transported to the drawing room with
out any difficulty at all. There Is noth
ing suggestive about them, and. except
tn a few- cases, the acrobatic features
could be eliminated without detracting
from the dance.
My first dance, and 1 speak as the
elder sister, being fifteen minutes older
than Rose, is a dance of flirtation and
coquetry; almost any good dancer could
arrange it by simplifying it a little and
make a very pretty drawing room dance
of it.
It is danced to waltz time and the

Now. when two amatt u.s btari out io
do a dance of this sori, they ought to
think up a good little story, or a serh s
• f incidents which they could drama
tize while danying.
The story must be cut up in different
sections or incidents and each incident
must be fitted to a certain number of
bars of music. We art- using the beau

numbers, which can be had at any mu

YOUR MOTHER IS UNREASONABLE
Dear Miss Fairfax:

and am engaged to a young lady of
sixteen. We were to have been
married in May and she had all her
wedding trousseau ready. Her par
ents are willing, but my mother ob
jects strenuously. I can 'not tell
why she dislikes it so much, as the
girl is of a good family and very
pretty, with a real good education.
My mother suffers intensely with
her heart and I fear if I marry so
much against her wishes, it will kill
her. E. K.
If your mother had objections to the
girl, it would be you: duty to consider
them, but 1 gather her objections are
based on the fear of losing you. This
maternal selfishness is deplorable, and
not uncommon. If reasoning and pa
tience and coaxing fail to w in her over,
marry without her consent. You ow> it
to the girl.
THE MAN WAS RIGHT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young girl seventeen years
old and love a boy two years my
senior. I see him every day, but
have not yet received an introduc
tion. The manner in which he. act

he did not come over to ask me to
dance with him. I do not know
what this means, because 1 dearly

It means the man respects you so

sary before asking you to dance with
him.

I am going to outline a simplified
version of our dance, which could b<

The main thing to remember is that
you must be absolutely certain of your
incidents and the action that is to g'

one is going to take.

The way it is done depends entirely
upon the amount of space and dramatic

of lite dancers. Gestures and facial ex

The chase becomes wilder and wild

The man caienes up with the girl,

She escapes again, and the same
thing is repeated. This time, after the

The end of the dance can be either a
fast waltz together, or the girl once
more escaping from the man, and
waltzing quickly away from him.
A very pretty step is one called
"skating.” which must, be done to two

taken with the right foot, both part

There is a momentary balance with
the left foot up. a slight hop with the
right up, and the two-step is resumed,
with the next glissade on the left foot.

Daysey Mayme never stands in line.
Stepping ahead of all the women pres
ent, she said in the loud and lofty tones
of those to whom the high cost of liv
ing means nothing;
"Send me up two cheap little steaks.
Oh, about $3 each, if you have them. I
guess that kind will do.”
The butcher’s eyes glistened at such
an order, and the other women who
had been grumbling because soup bones
had advanced from nine cents to eleven
cents, stared in amaze.
Having made the desired Impression,
Daysey Mayme followed the butcher to
the back of the store, presumably to
see what he was going to cut off.
When they were out of earshot of the
others she said in a whisper: “I have
changed my mind about the steak.
Please send up five cents worth of
liver.”
Then, with her nose held so high she
had to stand on tip-toe to powder it,
she walked out.
