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.

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 not —near her the very day she died/' A pause; then an angry exclamation from some one.

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 •fi "I i « A-air\ ■ -A!: Ml wl JU Writ : ? // Iwu / / \ I t- nNM / / r L? tiw Kt i JR xL ■■ ■*' . /jk ' wHI fc// / /Ilk / Gm I O X.J' jTHE DOLLY Sl' "EPS AND WiATITI.J JROWN.

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.

YOUR MOTHER IS UNREASONABLE Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a young man 24 years old. 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.

The way it is done depends entirely upon the amount of space and dramatic talent, as well as the grace and ability of lite dancers. Gestures and facial ex pression must suggest a violent flirta l ion. The chase becomes wilder and wild er, the dancers waltzing and turning, with arms extended and swaying. The man caienes up with the girl, puts his arm around her* and tries to kiss her; she bends back and puts her hand before her face. She escapes again, and the same thing is repeated. This time, after the unsuccessful kiss, they waltz together for eight bars; she. however, does not hold him as in the ordinary waltz, but Do You Know— Hamburg, the first city to perceive tht danger of the modern long hatpin, lias provided its conductors with boxer of hatpin point-protectors.

A very pretty step is one called "skating.” which must, be done to two four time instead of to the waltz meas ure; a long glissade or skating step is taken with the right foot, both part ners facing in the same direction.

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.
