Ami Sam left the room in fat, puffing anger. Josie entering, fell into the conversa tion will-, the three. Wallace told Josie that after he had gone over the matter with Jackson he himself had become thor oughly convinced that the best thing and the only thing for Broadway to do was to hold to the plant and fight it out. After Clara had rejoined her mother in The works, Wallace talked frankly with the “handy man'' of the Jones family. “A proposition that will show a profit like this did last year.’’ be said, "with out any advertising, is wonderful. I know what I'm talking about. I'm with the biggest advertising firm in New York city." Josie sighed as she went on; “But we couldn't afford to advertise except in a small way. and the big firms wouldn't handle a petty contract." “Why didn't you try the Empire peo ple?" “We did. They refused to handle us at all. They do most of the Consolidated work. I fancy that's the reason." “Oh, no; we don't make that kind of agreements,” answered Wallace promptly. "No corporation dictates to ns. The Em pire's my firm. My father is the pres ident." Josie got for him lor correspondence with the Empire firm. It was as she had ■aid. Wallace asked permission to use the Jone factory telephone, ami put in a call for his father, Grover Wallace, at his downtown New York office. Surrounded by the happy and proud Spotswoods, Broadway Jones, his chest out, entered the office, preening himself after the fashion of the most successful campaign orator who has just made a hit. For in his own mind Broadway did not know himself. The judge slapped him on the back. “My boy." he said, “IT'S the greatest day this town’s ever seen." SOME PRAISE. "Oh, I don’t know," said Broadway. in feigned modesty, "I just told them " Mrs. Spotswood broke in with: BETTER THAN SPANKING.

There was no scorn for him there, but the earnestly sweet expression of that young woman made him feel of a sudden I that he was rather “small potatoes”—a Jonesville term. “Mr. Wallace, you really should have hoard Broadway’s speech,” said Mrs. Spotswood. “1 heard it last night,” put in Wallace, ’ dryly. Mrs. Spotswood and Clara took their i leave. They had to “go down to Main ’ street” and do some “shopping.” But be fore they went, Wallace and Clara ex i changed sheep's ♦\es. and Mrs. SpotH > wood had invited Broadway, Wallace and Josie to dinner that night. I “What do you like with your supper,” she went on, forgetting that a moment before she had <-a.ll»'d the < veiling meal ? “dinner,” “tea or coffee?” ' “Lemonade,” said Broadway, thinking of the bit of liquor she had added on the previous night. “I’ll make it myself.” she promised, s with a smile.

For the rest she is a tall amj graceful girl, with big blue eyes and a lovely tound throat, which shows that white skin in all its purity. "It's queer how few people love the rain," said Miss Davis, as she settled herself comfortably, threw back her big mackintosh, and looked at us under the rim of a smart little taffeta hat. “Why, the rain is the best thing in the world for your complexion, and I'd always use rain water if I could; the way they do in fairy tales and beauty books, only, of course, you can't get it unless you go out and let ft drop down on your face, straight from Heaven.

A large crowd was follow ing. Inquiries elicited the information that the man was doing penance, and was on his way to the temple of the goddess Kali at Kalighat. The Hindu had been several days on the journey, anti was in a terrible condition. The spikes, which numbered about 150, were quite sharp, and the man wore only a loin cloth.

Buckets full of Lhe aforesaid rain were tumbling out of the sky, and a neat little river was flowing from every umbrella in the room, and still this glowing young person continued her dissertation on the benefits of rain water. "Now the real reason why women hate the rain so much is because they’re never quite prepared for it,” continued Miss Davis. “Raincoats are clumsy, but what difference does it make? Another thing that few women have is a real rain hat and the right kind of boots. Walking isn’t a popular pastime any more even in good weath er, because women will not wear the proper kind of shoes. “I walk a great deal and 1 always wear high boots, even in summer, ex cept in the house or for walking very short distances.

And then wom en wonder why they are not healthy.

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am seventeen and have loved a young man almost four years my senior for nearly two years. Lust year in May he told me he loved me and we agreed to wait two or three years until he would be able to support a wife. We have not told my mother of this, but she seems to suspect it. She says he has lots of girls, and that he receives letters each day from a girl who must be madly in love with him. for she writes sev eral a day sometimes. Do you think she ju-t says this so I will not think so much of him? WORRIED. I can not believe any mother would stoop to such deceit. You owe it to her and to yourself to tell her of your engagement with this man. More than this, he owes it to you to make it known. He is not doing you justice in asking that it be concealed.
