A demeanor of this sort suggested bravado raflwr than bravery to the ever-suspicious detective.

What are you crying about?” A7i,ss Prettygirl-—“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.” 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-Napthayou could have passed it off as a joke, enjoyed yourself and spared Will an uncomfortable 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 hcls-Naptha way —in cool or lukewarm water, no boiling, either in winter or sum mer, and little rubbing. And the Eels-Naptha is the right 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. 1-ate 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 errand? 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 dall 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 ten —no, that is too leetle—fifteen dollars for it? It is worth—Oh, more, much more to the true lover. Pierre, tu es bete. Tiens-tu droit sur ta chaise. M. Brotherson est un monsieur comme II fact.” This adjuration, uttered in sharp repri mand and with but little of the. French grace, <nay 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 with the harsh remark: “Your French may be 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 mean by the sentimental trash with which you offer it?” “Ah. monsieur has not memory of me." came in the sweetest tones of a really seductive voice. "You astonish me, monsieur. I thought you knew everybody else does —Oh, tout le monde, monsieur, that I was Miss Chailoner's maid—near her when other people were not—near her the very day she died." A pause; then an angry exclamation from some one. Sweetwater thought from the brother, who may have misin terpreted some look or gesture on Broth ersnn’s part.

Last year 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, the turkey trot and simila- 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 in a few cases, the acrobatic features could be eliminated without detracting from the dance. My first dan'ce. and I 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.

Now. when two amateurs start out to do dance of this sort, they ought to think up a good little story, or a series of incidents which they coulcj drama tize while dancing. The story must he cut up in different sections or incidents and each incident must be fitted to a certain number of bars of music. We are using the beau tiful Strauss waltzes and other Strauss numbers, which can be had at any mu sic store, and are in most of the albums of dance music. After the introduction, which should be performed by the orchestra or musi- Advice to the Lovelorn B( Beatrice Fairfax. YOUR MOTHER IS UNREASONABLE Tk>ar Miss Fairfax: I am a young man 24 years old. «and am engaged to a young lady of s-ixteen. 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, your 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 tiehce and coaxing fail to win her over, marry without her consent. You owe it to the girl. THE MAN WAS RIGHT. Dear Miss Fairfax: 1 am a young girl seventeen years old and love a boy two years my senior. 1 see him every day, but have not yet received an introduc tion.

I am going to outline a simplifies version of our dance, which could be followed out by two ordinary t good dancers. The main thing to remember is that you must be absolutely certain of your incidents and the action that is to go with them and exactly how long each one is going to take. Musical introduction. • Entrance to waltz step from opposite side of the room, eight bars. Meeting in the center of stage or room with curtsy on the part of the girl, salutation on the part of the ma.i, eight bars. Waltzing promenade side by sid<. both looking at each other, the girl coquetting with the man. and he flirting with her He endeavors to catch her and she leads him on. always managing to es cape before he comes up to her. Thi could be made very pretty in a drawing room or ball room, by waltzing around different objects at the sides of the room, such as chairs, pedestals, etc. The way 1t is done depends entirely upon the amount of space and dramatic talent, as well as the grace and ability of the dancers. Gestures and facial ex pression must suggest a violent flirta tion. The chase becomes wilder anil wild er, the dancers waltzing and turning, Willi arms extended and swaying. The man catches up with tire girl, puts his arm around her and tries to kiss her; she bends back and puts het hand before her face. She escapes again, and the same thing is repeated. This time, after the uns’urx’essful kiss, they waltz together for eight bars; she, however, does not hold him as in the ordinary but Do You Know- Hamburg, the first city to perceive the danger of the modern long hatpin, has provided its conductors with boxes of hatpin point-protectors. Ladies with unguarded hatpins may now choose be tween getting down from the car and giving the conductor an extra penny for a couple of the municipal point protectors. The deaths in Irisli work houses during the past year included those of no fewer than seventeen centenarians. One of these persons was stated to be 110 years and another 108 years of age. while two had reached 107 and three 106 years.

Oh. about $3 each, if you have them.

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: ‘.‘l 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.
