Household Suggestions Moths can be kept away from furs or clothes by putting a piece of linen damped in turpentine in - rawrrs or wardrobes. This should be renewed once or twice during the year. Moths will never attack carpets and curtains which have been well sprinkled with *ait. A small box of brickdurt with a cork in it kept at the side of the sink will be found most useful for taking stains from knives, cups and all kinds of. china and enamel ware. If at hand u washing-up time it saves many an after cleaning. A good cleaning paste for enameled baths, zinc pails, etc., is made of equal parts of shaved yellow soap, whiting and common soda, dissolved over the fire in the least possible amount of water required to keep it from burn ing. To hang pictures on a plastered wall try dipping the nail into cold water before driving it into the wall. It will bite into the plaster if this is done, and will hold a heavy weight without loosening. i house last nite.

The Bashful Boy By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. “W: Silencing the Philosopher. “Yes,” remarked the philosopher; “deafness is indeed a terrible afflic tion. But in such cases nature, you know, always provides some compen sation. At any rate, if a man is deficient in one sense, he usually has another abnormally developed. Now, T once knew a poor blind fellow whose sense of touch was positively uncan ny. Really, it served him almost as well as eyes do a normal man." "Sure,” said the genial Irishman, who hitherto had taken no part in the discussion, “an* I've noticed that, too! There’s a friend of mine, he’s lame, poor chap, but he can get about almost as easily as you or I. True, one of his legs is short, but the other makes up for it by being three inches longer!"

Adam brought it home to Eve and sang it tirelessly. On the plaintive “uku lele" of soft-aired Hawaii they have played it since the isles were horn. Steel and iron clad men of the rough days of chivalry caroled it to the maids they met from the broad hacks of their dray horses. Cleopatra whined it in her honev-sweet voice to dull-witted Antony. In the backwoods of Tennessee they know it. In the gray, melancholy uplands of wild Thibet rough-haired youths whisper it to bead-strung slant eyed girls. In the hidden corner of the music room, screened in spikes of fruit blossoms, a smart young chap hums it to a girl who never twisted up her own hair in her life, and out in the country, in an orchard, on the top rail of a gray old worm fence, a boy in a blue “jumper” chants it to a girl in a pink sunbonnet shading her sun-browned checks.

TO-DAY’S INSTALLMENT. “I guess we can find a way to have the marriage annulled, or whatever the.' do to marriages that don’t take." The brutal assurance of the man in thus referring to things that were sacred moved Dick to wrath. "Don’t you interfere." he said. His words were spoken softly but tensely Nevertheless.

Listen to me, son. The minute you begin mixing up with crooks, you ain’t in a position to give orders | to any one. The crooks have got no rights in the eyes of the police. Just remember that.” He Was Not Listening. The Inspector spoke the simple truth as he knew it from year# of experience. The theory of the law is that a presump tion of innocence exists until the ac cused is proven guilty. But tlie police are out of sympathy with such finical methods. With them, the crook is pre sumed guilty at the outset of whatever may be charged against him. If need be. there will be proof a-plenty against him—of the sort that the underworld knows to its sorrow. But Dick was not listening His thoughts were again wholly with the woman he loved, who, as the Inspector ! declared, had fled from him. “Where’s she gone in Chicago?" Burke answered in his usual gruff fashion, but with a note of kindliness : that was not without its effect on Dick. “I’m no mind reader." he said. "But j she’s a sw’ell little girl, all right. I’ve I got to hand it to her for that. So. she'll probably stop at the Blackstone—that is. until the Chicago police are tipped off that she is in town.” Of a sudden, the face of the young man took on a totally different expres- : sion. Where before had been anger, now | f) , eto change in b was a vivid eagerness. He went close to the Inspector, and spoke with intense seriousness. “Burke,’' he said, pleadingly, “give ruptly, then, he smiled acquiescence. “Seems reasonable." he admitted. But the father strode to his son. “No, no, Dick," he cried. “You shall not g<*. You shall not go." Burke, however, shook his head in re monstrance against Gilder’s plea. His huge voice came booming, weightily im pressive “Why not?” he questioned. “It's a fair gamble. And. besides. 1 like the boy’s nerve." Dick seized on tlie admission eagerly. “And you’ll agree?" he cried. “Yes, I'll agTee." the Inspector an swered. “Thank you," Dick said quietly. But the father was not content. On the contrary, he went toward the two hurriedly, with a gesture of reproval. “You shall not go, Dick, b he declared, impetuously. Tlie Inspector shot a word of warning to Gilder in an aside that Dick could not hear. “Keep still," he replied. “It's all right." Dick wont on speaking with a seri ousness suited to the magnitude of his interests , “You give me your word. Inspector," he said, "that you won’t notify the po lice in Chicago until I’ve been there twenty-four hours?" don’t like it.” Burke slapped his leg with an enthu siasm that might have broken a weaker member. “Best thing that could have hap pened!" he vociferated. And then, as Gilder regarded him in astonishment, he added, chuckling: “You see, he won’t find her there.” "Why do you think that?” Gilder de manded. greatly puzzled. Burke permitted himself the luxury of laughing appreciatively a moment more before making his explanation. Then he said quietly: To be Continued To-morrow.

HAT 1 would like to ask," rites Rebecca, “is why it is better for a girl to asso ciate with a bashful boy. On several occasions I have noticed that you state that a girl should honor such a young man, but you have never stated why.” The qualities in a bashful boy which make him a welcome suitor are more of a negative nature than of a posi tive. . It is not that which he does, so much as that which he does not do. His sins arc of omission and they are small compared with the sins of com mission of his holder brother. The bashful boy doesn’t flirt. With a tongue that halts and stammers, and a tell-tale color that is quicker than the blush of a young girl to proclaim his dishonesty did he attempt to be dishonest, he is not an adept at hypocrisy or concealment. He is not a dandy. Neither is he a lady’s man, and. my dear Rebecca, the presidents of banks and railroads, the powers in commercial life, the most profound thinkers and the men of letters the world honors. • were never ladies' men. His Hands. He does noi know what to do with his hands when out in society, but his employer will tell you he knows good use for them when at work. Afraid ( f girls he Is forced to seek companionship in books and boys. The fear of girls gives him a respect for them which is wholesome: the com panionship of boys gives him the out door exercise every young man needs. He needs this tiring of every muscle, not alone for the results that are phys ical. but for moral returns. You are not too young, my dear, to know that the wolf that has been racing furiously up and down hill all day feels at night only the cry of tired limbs and aching muscles begging for rest. He Is not the wolf that goes seeking an opening to break into the sheepfold! If a bashful boy loves a girl it is with a sense of humility and his own unworthiness. He knows that he is the one who wlli be honored if his love 1s returned; his bolder brother has a faint suspicion, which the homage of silly girls confirms, that it is the girl who should be on her knees. A Safe Way. During his calf days he does all his signing for love’s sake at a distance, which mothers will agree is the only safe and sane way for young girls to bo loved. He is always a good listener no woman was ever bored to death by (he talking of a bashful man Saving little, he says little for which he or others have cause for regret. He is a safe depository for secrets, a good man in whom to have confidence. If he is not a girl's lover the next best thing that could happen her would be to have him for a brother or a friend. His compliments are not practiced, and are therefore sincere. When It takes effort and stupendous courage to hand a modest little flower to a girl, It follows that he will never throw bou quets at the head of every woman he meets. Best of all, Rebecca, the bashful boy Is a home boy. He Is unafraid when with his mother and finds in her com panionship the delight less bashful boys seek from home. He Is “a good boy” In the sweet old- fashioned sense, a boy who has escaped contamination a few years later than it. comes to boys more bold. “I Don’t Like It.” “You’re on." Burke replied genially. “They won't get a whisper out of me until the time is up." He swung about to face the father, and there was a eorn- manner. “Now. then.
