"Your uncle was worth his weight in

Jackson, in whose mind there had been

A PROPOSITION.
Jackson was now fully alive to Ute sit

“Waft a minute. Who’s ’pe? What
do you mean by we?” he exchtimed.
Pembroke explained that lie was the
second vice president of the largest chew
ing gum company in America, the Con
solidated Chewing Gum Cumpany of
America, and that his company wanted
the business of the Jones company and
its trademarks in accord with Its plan of
merging many small companies.

"111 kiss you if you want me to,” re
turned Broadway, with his old smile back
again.
Pembroke, now that he had gained the
point he had been denied by the boy's
uncle for so many years, was eager to
be off and get his lawyers to Broadway’s
house in the two hours that would elapse
before 2 o clock. So he hurried to the
door.
“Two o’clock—don't forget—2," he said,
frankly.
"Twelve—don't forget twelve,” coun
tered Jackson—the $1,200,000 being the
only thing in his mind.
'Good bye,” called Pembroke heartily,
as he opened the/street door.
To the stoop outside went Broadway,
watching the vice president of the gum
trust as he cressed the street.
'Be careful there. Don’t get run down
by an automobile. For God's sake don’t
let anything hapj>en now,” he called, then
as he realized that passersby were stop
ping to gaze at him after his strange
words, ’he closed the door.
“That’s the first time I knew they
could telegraph from heaven,” was his
joyous thought.
Gone now were all the worries and anx
ieties of Broadway Jones. Gone equally,
it must be confessed, were his good reso
lutions. The old spending fever, the
white light desire was upon him. What
wouldn't he do to Broadway! Rankin
sought his master to tell him that he had
discharged the chef, and received an an
swer that dazzled him. He was not to
let the cook go, but was to raise his sal
ary.
"By the way, Rankin.” rippled on Jones,
mentally spending the contents of the en
tire United States treasury, "What am I
paying you?”
The butler put into his voice a tone that
indicated his own belief that he was re?
ceiving far too little.
"Seventy-five a month,” he said.
"A hundred and seventy-five from now
on,” exclaimed his master, “Have you a
flat and a wife?"
Rankin had both. .
“Like this furniture'.''
Rankin did.
"It's yours.”
Rankin stood waiting for the golden
stream to wet him still further, when
his master told him to run along and
not "bother a business man.” His first
act when he was alone was to tell long
distance to get Judge Spotswood, at
Jonesville, Conn. lie put the receiver
back on the hook and was waiting for
the operator to call him when Wallace
entered briskly with a number of bills in
his hand and a sheet of paper covered with
the arithmetical processes by which he
had arrived at the total.
“Well, I’ve figured this thing out as
best I could. The grand total, as I make
it, is sixty-one thousand four hundred
and eighty-two.”
SPENDING MONEY,
At Jackson’s request he repeated this
result and to his horror Broadway
laughed.
"Spending money, spending money, my
boy,” He commented.
Wallace was disgusted, but before he
could speak Broadway was almost danc
ing up and down on the rug.
"Say, do ybu know what I am going to
do from now on?” he shouted, rather
than exclaimed. “I'm going to make the
loudest noise that's been heard on Broad
way since Dewey came home from the
Spanish war.”
“Have you gone crazy again?” snapped
Wallace.
"Do you know what happened after
you went to add up those penny ex
penditures of mine?" continued Jackson.
“A messenger boy with golden wings
blew in through the window, handed me
this message and flew right back to the
golden gates. Read it.”
Bob read the message.
"Is this a joke?" he said in the same
tone he had used when he heard that
Jackson was determined on marrying
Airs. Gerard.
This possibility had not entered the
head of the spendthrift.
“if it is I’ll make a reputation as a
gunman,” he said grimly.
Wallace was lost in wonder at the
strange and sudden shower of gold which
had suddenly descended.
“Why, this is the most wonderful thing
that has ever happened,” was his view.
Broadway was already busy with tlie
-plans of a spendthrift.
“Do you know what I’m going to do?”
he went on, turning over in his mind the
things he wanted to do. “I’m going to
buy Brooklyn and close It up. Say, did
you ever hear of the Consolidated Gum
Company?”
"Certainly; they're the biggest adver
tisers in America."
“Pembroke, the second vice president,
came as the judge said he w-ould. He
came while you were here in th other
room,” resumed Jackson, “and he’s com
ing back here at 2 o’clock.”
Wallace was suddenly suspicious of
what his friend might have done in the
hands of an astute business man such as
Pembroke.
“What for?” he demanded, quickly.
“To bring me a check for twelve hun
dred thousand. I’ve sold him Jones’ Pep
sin. Don’t you think I'm the best busi
ness man ever?” came from Broadway all
in a breath.
Dismay spread over the rather heavy
features of Wallace. He put in, sharply;
“And you accepted?”
“Os course; I’m too much of a business
man to let all that money stay out of
circulation."
"Sign an agreement?" Wallace's tone
would have cut through the hardest steel.
Broadway was almost on the point of
apologizing. Then he took a sudden men
tal brace as he answered:
NOT TOO LATE.
“Not yet.”
A flitting shadow of delight appeared for
a moment in the eyes of the advertising
man, but speedily force and determina
tion took its place.
“And you’re not going to." he said,
fairly glaring into the face of Broadway
Jones, whose shoulders slumped.
“Why not?" he asked in the tone of a
schoolboy receiving a punishment.
Wallace’s force was sweeping Broad
way off his morning-after unsteady feet,
as he continued vigorously:
“Now don't give me any argument.
You've been a fool all your life and I am
going to make you brace up. You are
not going to accept that offer!"
"What do .vou want me to do?” inquired
Broadway, in the schoolboy tone, "turn
down a million two hundred thousand?”*

MISS IDA ADAMS, ONE OF THE BEA UTIES IN ZIEGFELD'S “FOLLIES” AT THE MOULIN ROUGE. NEW YORK.
By Margaret Hubbard Ayer.
ET’S talk about something in-
I teresting," announced Miss Ida
Adams, as she curled herself
up into a fluffy little ball in the corner
of a large sofa and refused definitely,
finally and up-and-down to air her
views on health and beauty.
Miss Adams was chosln for tile part
of the Commere in "The Follies of 1912”
because she speaks beautiful French,
for she has lived a long time abroad
and. has caught much of the dainty for
eign atmosphere and ways of the
French girl. She is furnishing a new
home for herself, and when I saw her
her mind was full of a number of
things such as window curtains and
wallpaper and gray enamel paint and
rugs. Naturally, we drifted into the
subject of home decorating, and Miss
Adams—who is a very intelligent young
woman besides being a beauty; for. of
course, she is a beaut?’ if she is in "The
Follies”—has this to saj’ to girls and
women who are just now engaged in

the all-engrossing occupation of fixing
the new flat:
"If I had a lot of money and could
have a home of my own,” -said Miss
Adams, ”1 would furnish it in one of
two ways—either in pure colonial style
or in the most elaborate fashion pat
terned after the French ehateux. As I
am furnishing a four-room apartment,
I can only let my imagination run riot
as to what I would do if I could. In
the meantime, there are some things
that seem to me absolutely necessary
apd that are generally totally disre
garded by* the home decorator.
Some Household Hints.
"I don’t care how small a place is, if
a woman has any intelligence and taste
she can make her home beautiful and
restful. And, what is very important,
she could give a sense of spaciousness
even in a small apartment.
"I think there is nothing more dis
tracting to the attention than a wall
that is covered over with little daubs of
paintings or pictures or photographs. I
mean to work here, for 1 am not always
going to be in musical comedy. I have
a lot of ambition and I hope some day
to do some good work in legitimate
drama.
“I don't especially fancy myself as
Salome, one of the dances I am doing
now.” Here Miss Adams gave a fasci
nating and exceedingly clever bur
lesque of herself as that celebrated
head-bedecked contortionist: but she
went on quickly: “Let's get back to a
more decorated subject. Let me see,
where was I? Oh, yes; walls. I am
quite certain you can't concentrate your
mind or do any real studying or work
in a room that is ugly to look at and
whose walls look like a spotted leopard,
with innumerable foolish and unneces
sary things stuck upon them.
“People seem to get very cheap wall
papers and try to hide the offending
color beneath countless posters and
pictures. I'd rather pay a little more
for my wallpaper and have a satisfac
tory tone and color. You have to look
at it every day in the year, and the
color of your walls have a lot to do
with your mood and with the way you
look.
"There, now I am talking health and
beauty. I knew you would get me on
to that eternal subject. Well, here govs.
“You can say from me that an ugly
wallpaper in one's bed room or sitting
room is a depressing and unhealthy in
fluence. There, doesn't that sound wise,
though? But it's a fact.
Her Idea of Gifts.
“Suppose, for instance, you were a
brunette with a tendency to look sal
low in the morning, and you had your
apartment papered in green; that sick
ly green that is so popular nowadays.
If you looked in the mirror in a room
like that, you’d get all the green re
flection in your own face, and you'd
begin your day by hating yourself,
which is the worst thing you can do for
your health, isn’t it?"
Miss Adams’ own sitting room is done
in a grayish-fawn color, that is espe
cially suited as a background for her
charming young self. It brings out the
dainty coloting in her cheeks and the
gleam in her brown hair. The sofa
coverings and hangings are on the same
tone in linen with a stamped design in
dull green, gold and violet.
“I’ve seen a great many beautiful
places here and more especially
abroad," Mbs Adams, “and in all the
great houses and show places one gets ,
the feeling that the beautiful things an
there because they ate necessary and
useful, as well as ornamental. Now. in
many American homes one has the
feeling that half the furniture is utterly
useless and is simply taking up valu
able space. People generally put much I
too much in their rooms, and you get a
sensation of clutter and disorder. I
would like everything that I own, to be
useful, necessary and beautiful.
"I object to useless bric-a-brac just
as I see no reason for keeping pictures
on the walls, because somebody with
out taste or discretion, or possibly only
to get rid of them, bestowed them upon
your unwilling self. Every house
should hav<*an attic for such gifts, and
nobody who lives its a Hat should be
given anything unless she is allowed to
choose it herself. Now. wouldn't that
be a lovely way of doing?" *
And in view of the many superflui
ties which we will soon receive at
Christmas time, I think it would.

The Eyes of Love
By Beatrice Fairfax
<iT TT E sa Y Love is blind, and the
V V figure of Cupid is drawn
with a bandage around his
eyes. Blind —yes, because he does not
see what lie does not like; but the
sharpest-sighted hunter in the universe
is Love for finding what he seeks, and
only that.”- —Ralph Waldo Emerson.
And he seeks perfection. And away
back in the beginning, of things Some
One said, “That which ye seek ye will
find."
This little characteristic of Cupid
would make life pleasanter if adopted
by others than the lover.
If girls would seek perfection in their
friends; if they would look for virtues
•instead of faults; if they would believe
in the best in every one, instead of ex
pecting the worst!
If it became a universal habit to say
of a friend:
“He is too honorable to do that,” in
stead of saying, “He is none too good,”
w’hat a difference it would make in the
person of whom it is said!
A great inanj’ years ago, when Sun
day clothes were really Sunday clothes,
and sacred for that day. it was found
that the world behaved better when it
had its Sunday garments on.
I claim that when we give our friends
to understand that our opinions of them
are exalted, it clothes their souls in
Sunday garments. "I know that you
are always honorable,” if said to a
friend in conviction and sincerity, will
make that friend honorable.
“I bad believed you were too good to
do that” has saved many a person from
a repetition of a sin.
"It was just what I expected you to

Miss Cecilia M. Bauer, 11G1 Lawrence St., Appleton, Wis.
A SCHOOL TEACHER’S GRATITUDE:
Geneva. lowa.—“l have been teaching school for some years and I
have neglected iny health because I was too busy with my work to
attend to myself properly. I suffered greatly every month and was
on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
“ I wrote to you about my condition and took Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and the Blood Purifier as you recommended.
These remedies have done wonders for me and I can highly and
widely recommend them to eveiy suffering woman.”—Alias Minnis
Shaver, K. F. D. No. 1, Geneva, lowa, c/o Sam Erickson.
A COLORADO GIRL’S CASE:
Montrose, Col.—“I was troubled very much with irregular periods.
Sometimes two months would elapse. I suffered severe headache,
was weak and nervous, could eat scarcely anything.
“ I took both Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Blood
Purifier and the result was wonderful. I feel like another person.
4, 1 think your remedies are the best on earth and cannot express
my thankfulness to you for what they have done to me. I help my
neighbors when they are sick, and I shall always recommend your
medicines.”—Miss Ella McCandless, Montrose, CoL
Is it not reasonable to suppose that a medicine that did
so much for these girls will benefit any other girl who is
suffering with the same troubles?
Does it not seem the only sensible thing to give such a
medicine at least a trial ? You may be sure that it can do
you no harm, and there are lots of proof that it will do
you much good.
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable

does justice to herself who will not try this fa

do” has led many a sinner to repeat his
crime.
This little desire in the eye that
makes one find perfection in a lover is
not beyond cultivation by those to
whom a lover is yet to come. Neither
is it beyond the power of those to whom
Love is a story of yesterday.
Every one has a friend. The little
habit of looking for perfection in that
friend is of greater mutual benefit than
anything in the universe.
The friend becomes an ideal and tries
to live up to it. The one who thinks
the best of that friend gets into the
habit of thinking well of others, and
grows In moral strength accordingly.
This little habit Cupid teaches of
seeking perfection is the foundation of
perfect love. It is the superstructure
of perfect happiness.
It is when disappointment and irrita
tion creep in and one begins to look for
faults that faults become apparent, and
happiness ceases.
“That which ye seek, ye will find.”
Seek tor good nature instead of til
temper; seek for sunshine instead of
gloom.
Seek for the good qualities even when
the bad are most glaring. Seek, know
ing that they exist, and you will find
they do exist, and need just the en
couragement to develop them that your
faith will give.
"She sharpest-sighted hunter in the
universe is Love for finding what he
seeks, and only that.”
And a wider interpretation of that
word “love" means the sentiment you
have for your friends, your associates,
your casual acquaintances, and all your
kindred.
preacher was annoyed by the sound of
whispering coming from the semi
darkness under one of the galleries. At
last he paused in his sermon and de
clared: "If the young couple making
love under the gallery do not come to
me in the vestry before service next
Sunday morning, I will name them to
the church.” It was a chance shot, but
next Sunday he found twenty couples
awaiting him in the vestry!
The steeple of Bow church, into the
rectory of which Canon Masterman has
just been inducted, is the nearest Lon
don analogue to the leaning tower of
Pisa It was considerably out of the
perpendicular, as can easily be per
ceived from Cheapside, but not to a
dangerous degree, and no further set
tlement has been noticed in recent
years. The steeple sways when the
famous bells are rung, but this is con
sidered a proof of elasticity, and so of
strength. The copper-gilt dragon,
nearly' 9 feet long, which forms the
weather-cock, was supposed when first
erected to stand for the high church
rnanship of the day.
Appleton, Wis.—“ I take pleasure in writing you
an account of my sickness. I told a friend of mine
how I felt and she said I had female trouble and
advised me to use Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound, as she had taken it herself for the sama
trouble with wonderful results. I had been sickly
for two years and overworked myself, and had such
bad feelings every month that I could hardly walk
for pain. I was very nervous and easily tired out
and could not sleep nights. I had dizzy spells, and
pimples came on my face. But I have taken your
