| A Glimpse of Another Universe.
THE wonderinl Andromede Nebula (faintly visible with
an opera glass) is nearly overhead, below the edge of
the Milky Way, directly south of Cassiopeia, about 9 o’clock
in the évening. Photographs show that this object consists
of glowing spirals, and it is believed so be another universe,
with its own Millsy Wav.

“TOM MOORE!" goasped Keitha.
! “Homw heavenly to see
; you! And what a surprise!”
. The tall officer raiszed his brows
‘comically.
“Surprise! My word! A knock
out! Bennett, here, never told me
whom he’d married. Of course,
+~when he said she was the most
. beautiful gir! in the world, 1 might
- have guessed, but I put it down to
_the usual bridegroom infatuation.”
. “Sed here,” cut in Captain Ben
. pett, “What's this, old home week
' reunion? You two geem to know
. each other rather well.’
. “Well?" echoed Captain Moore,
;"Um—-l should say we do, eb,
- Keitha?"
. “I was engaged to Tom all one
ApFing at college,” explained Keitha
mischievously. “He made a tre
mendously nice fiance,” she added,
z‘pm.tinz his arm with mock affec
-5 tion.
. “No better than you, Keitha, no
hetter than you,” Moore assured her
gallantly. .
. Captain Bennett was regarding
;the pair with the,shadow of a
frown.
3 "’l'm beginnin: to think that a
~husband is de trop in this party!
'he remarked dryly. “Perhaps you'd
‘pather pursue your reminisc.nces
;Qut of my earshot?”
‘; Moore lpughed and olapped him
‘on the shoulder affectionatc'y.
| “Getting Jealous, old top?”
%‘ “Hardly—of you" Captain Ben
'mtt's grin was rather half hearted.
1 “Whew!"” Moore whistled softly,
' “T¢ think that my ‘buddy’ wowld
pull a stinging retort like that on
‘me! Cheer up, my boy, you're about
;to run across a lot of your wife's
past.”
' “I'm not afraid,” declared Keitha.
‘ “At that, Lester will have the ad
-I&'a.nu¢e of mao"”
| “You're right, he will, In Paris
ROW——"
| “Don’t Lo ap ass, Tom," cut in
" Bennett. I ordered a table for a
iamrter to one and we've probably
Jost it by being half an hour late.”

¢ Captain Moore flashed Keftha a
glance of mock significance,
“You see? He's getting nervous.
g Stick close to me, Keltha, and you'll
| get an earful about the oversous
activities of your handsome hus
band.”
- “It I lived in u glass house,. I'd
hesitate to juggle brickbats,” re
marked Bennett gignificantly, as ho
led the way into the restaurang.
The luncheon was .2 merry affair,
Kcitha forgot her vexations in Cap
tain Moore's pregence and the at
| mosphere of carifree days which he
~called up. She took delight in re
~calling with him various escapades
of thelr co-ed college course, es
peclally since she sensed' the fact
that her husband resented them a
trifle. Whether she was really in
j love with lilma or not, her woman's
| vanity demanded that he etill love
- ler. From his manner and little
‘r remarks that his brother officers
had dropped, she sensed that his
infatuation for Mer was no means
as complete as it had been in the
days of his courtship. In one way
she wus thankful and in anoilier
she was decidedly piqued, In fact,
- she had reached a’'state when she
didn't know exactly what she ex
didn’t know exactly what she
thought or what she felt.
“Do you remember the afternoon
in commencement weck when you
ran away from a fraternity house
party with me and hid in the top
of an old apple tree?” Moore was
demanding. “And the man whose
guest you wero searched all over
the place for you, never dreaming
that you were up a tree with a rival
fraternity brother.”
“And finally we got starved out,”
Keitha caught up the narrative de
lightedly, “and you slipped down
and brought sandwiches and cakes
from a tea shop. Do you Kknow, he
never forgave mea—l was almost
engaged to him, too,” she u.dvlml
regretfully, ’
Captain Bennet laughed with
raised brows,
“You seem to have been . much
engaged young person,” wag hilg
~dry comment.”

} Revelations of a Wife
A New Story of Married Life
= You Can Start It at Any Time
By Adele Garrison.
WHY MRS. UNDERWOOD GAVE
! MADGE A REASSURANCE
*AND A WARNINGC.
' ON"T wait for me, Miss Dra-
I D per,” Lilllan Underwood said
| lihtly, “#n old woman like
| me isn't as fortunate as you or
} Mrs, Giraham. You can dash’a lit
| tle water on your faces, dry them
and those peaches-and-cream com
‘ plexions of yours 4re ready for
! n_nj’thlng. But it's the little old
| make-up box for me, and a Jong
gession at that, so don't ‘let me
keep elther of you. The boys will
be lodesome.”
I caught a gwift little flash from
hor eyes that told me’she wished
me to stay with her. 1 turned to
Miss Draper smiling:
“1 shall have to change these
; tennis shoes for othérs, before 1
come down,” T said, grasping at
l the first excnse I could think“of.
“T‘l:‘ey are making me most Un
comfortable, but do go down ahead
of us and keep those men enter
tiined 8o !k‘-y won't begin to wor
ry/about dinner. Dieky ls simply
ravenous after tennis,
“He: isn’t a patch upon Harry,”
chimed in Lillian., “There never
was sa fiend incarnate who could
equial that man’s temper when he's
hungry. He's a ravening ‘wolf be
fore dinner dand a stuffed lamb
afterwards, So do go down and
distract their atiention, Migs Dra
per, that's a dear)”’
“I'll'gy my hest,” the girl prom
ised ofFily, ang went down the
stairs. 1 knew thdat she” was well
pleased with her mission,
‘Lovely! lovely!” Lillian whis
pered, estatically, as the door
closed, and, catching me around the
waist, she whirled me* mudly around
the room In a fantastic little dance.
I “Dlid you ever see anything so per
fectly scrumptious as the way
things turned out this afternovon.
ll'll admit I hadn't planned .t that
way at all. 1 had meant you and
Dicky to be partners and to hand
the Draper girl over to Harry,
“I figured that she might get in
terested enough in Harry, who is
at his best ih tennis, t 6 make her
forgeét Dicky fop,a while.”
l WHAT LILLIAN SAID.
i With her usual acuteness she
read the wondering look which
flashed into my eyes. 1 could not®
umlm"stgml how she could be so
{ utterly “indifferent to a possible
{ flirtai¥on hetween her husband and
this girl who had, so distressed me.
“Don’t waste ')"our time worry
ing übout\?rry and me,” she sald,
n note of Witterness in her voicea.
| “We're queerly yoked pair, and we
get along by eacl) allowing the
other the fullest lz\l&udc-. Of course,
yYou must realize that we're not
« particularly mad about each other,
and I don't think it would cause
cither of us much uneasiness if thoe
other were to come a sentimental
cropper over somebody else, But
| we jog along very comfortably, and
! that's all 1 can ask ofglife any
| way.” A
i I wanted to answer the weariness
I of her tone with a caress, but with
chameleon-like swiftness she was
| back again into the gleeful humor
+ which had signalized the closing of
{ the door after Grace Draper.
I “Why didn’t you tell me you woere
{ Molla Bjursted’s understudy?” shoe
l demanded, and then, without giv-
M ing me ‘time to answer, she hur
| ried on:
“No wonder DickyY was sore at
not being able to play with you.
There's been a long tennis rivalry
between Harry and Diecky. They
yged to play ml:etpor a great deal.
1 think Harry is a’shade the better
#ldyer, but with you as his partner
Dicky could Rave knocked the spots
off my loving: husband,”
She - was = busily ‘appiying the
otrocious mask of powder and
rouge, which'is ‘the only thing 1
dislike about her, as she talked.
With her Hp stick poised in one
hand, she turned -gleefully ~toward
me, ’ 7

demanded, “when the Draper girl

Business of Homemaking
Tl .
A FEW HIN.Ts Ol’l STOVE AND+
RANGE CARE.
DO not mean by this title the
I handling or operation of a '
‘heating ayston\, but rather the |
cleaning and care of the appearance |
of any stove or range. What is |
the besf way to do it? What de- [
vices to use, and so on, {
While women in the cities may |
think that there no longer exists
such a thing as a coal range, let
them Dbelieve otherwise, for this
country is still largely rural, and
the rura] and country home stiil
clings to its coal range. And how |
shall the kitchen range be kept
clean? Shall "we use a blacking
brush and dauber? Not if we know
hetter! For the best thing for any
iron surface such as the range top,
is not blacking, but linseed oil of
the Dbhest quality. If it is a new
range, never touch it with a black
ing brush of any kind—merely
place linseed ooil on a soft brush 4
or rag, and rub well with sthis. In
future daily care scrape off the
portions of food swhich may have
burned on, then clean with the lin
seed oil. It will have a soft “French
finish” and never need blacking at
all. 1 find that the typiecal lambs
woo! shoe polisher about olgl:t
inches long is best for this pur
pose, -
if there are stovepipes, paint
them with a black enamel paint
which will need no polishing, This
paint comes in cans, ¢an be applied
with a small brush, and lasts at
least one season. The same paint
chould be put on the fireguards,
the andirons of black metal, or
similar surfaces.

County Schools Get
y .
- Two Weeks' Vacation
{ The county publle schools will be
| given two.weoks' vacation for Christ
mas, it was .lnnnun:‘r‘% Thursday.
The schools will close December 19
jand reopen January 0. This includes
both the county high school and the
grammar schools i
- There is on the market a small
mitten duster, which is fine for
dusting the fretwork or enameled
parts of any ironwork. It fits the
hand, is lined with canton flannel,
and has an outside surface of
sheared soft wqol. .Jt enables the
hand to cover ailkthe surfaces with
out being soiled in the least. An
other needed article is a small
handled brush of strings similar to
the strings used in a floor, polish
mep, but made compact, spfirt and
just the shape to dust off with. Jt
costs about 35 cents, but will give
more than that amount of money in
service, * ;
A brush like a, radiator brush,
with a handle two feet long, and
bristles mounted only on one edge,
is excellent for cleaning under and
at the back of the stove. It gets
at the dust between the legs, for
example, or behind the stove and
between it and the wall, ete., etc.—
all those hard-to-get-at * places,
which nevertheless must be cleaned
It costs 50 to 75 cents, depending
on the number of bristles.
The chief point with all stove
care is daily cleaning and upkeep.
It is the one best case of how a
“brush in time saves nine,” or that
idea. .That stove or range looks
well, and never becomes dirty,
which is wiped off just a little bit
each day. One can not in one big
dose, do all that six small doses
would have accomplished!
If there is a vacuum cleanar in
the house, it s excellent to use
this on the range parts from time
to time. Wherever dust accumu
lates behind, or on the legs, fret
work, etc,, the vacunm can be used
to good advantage.

This Day in Our History. :
THIS is the anniversary of the death, in 1642, of Cardinal
Richelieu, who, as the trusted Minister of Louis XIIIT,
raised France o a premier position among the nations of Eu
*rope. The devotion of Louis to the Cardinal forms one of the
unique stories in history. His own mother fought to lessen
the latter’s power, but in vain.

MISS LAZY OWL TRIES TO IMI
TATE THE SUNSET. :
ISS LAAY OWIL—so the folk
M of Birdville styled her, be
cause she slept the biggest
part of the day—was very, very
unhappy. She hated her somber
colored dress.
“I' don’t see why I can’t have a
blue coat like Mrs. Bluebird's and a
ied vest like Mr. Robin's,” she
fussed one evening. “I tell you if
I had a chance I'd ehange a lot of
things in these woods, too. The
idea of Mws. Thrush building her
nest so low; she’s certainly foolish.”
But the trouble with Miss Lazy
Owl was that -she had slept with
one eye open all day, so ' she
wouldn't miss anvthing and hadn’t
got - her' sleep out, thercrore she
was cross and peevish. :
She crawled out of her doorway
and looked around. The sun had
just dropped behind the hills and
the sky was a glorious array of
brilliant colors. .
“So «illy to waste all that color on
thosge clouds,” she snapped. “Espe
cially when I have to wear such a
faded gown.” Then a funny thought
entered Miss Lazy ' Owl's funny
little brain, and out of her nest
in the old tree she flew, and headed
straight for the beautiful clouds.
i She thought if she touched them
she might rub the glorious colors
on her own dress. But, déar me,
she flew and flew until she was so
very, very tired that she had to
drop back into a tree to rest.
“Well, well!” chirped a merry
voice. !
Miss Lazy’Owl looked up to see
a queer little bird house hanging
from the limb above her head. -
“Aren’t you out pretty early?”
asked the merry voice.
“No, I'm not!” snapped Miss Lazy
Owl, blinking her eyes, for the
truth of the matter was she really
was out too early and could hardly
see for the brilliant sky. “Whoo
oo-er-you?” she asked, blinking her
eyes harder than ever. ’
“Whyt can’, you tell by my sign?”
laughed the little bird, hopping eut
and pointing to a sign that swung
over her little house.
Miss Lazy Owl hopped closer
and read the swinging Ysign:
TAILOR BIRD
She really and truly laughed out
loud and held out her ugly looking
claw.
“Well, well, Mrs. Tailor Bird,
you're just the one 'l'm hunting
for!” she cried. “You see, I hate
my plain, sombre dress. Maybe
you can make me a new one. I
want a bright blue coat like Mrs.
Bluebird's, and a red vest like Mr.
Robin's, and——"
“Wait—wait—wait!” laughed Mrs.
Tailor Bird merrily “You've mis
taken my sign. I don't make clothes
for folks.”
“Then what in the air do you
do!” exclaimed Miss Lazy Owl
crossly. “You're a Tailor Bird,
aren't you?"”
“Certainly I am!” chirped Mrs.
Tailor Bird. “But I teach birds
how to make homes, not clothes.
‘Our maker gave us all the clothes
he. thought best for us to wear.
1 only teach "irds who dont know
how to make their own holises the
best and the easiest way. Now,
if you'd like a house like mi_m'-»"
Mrs. Tailor Bird pointed to her
pretty little house made of two

Miss Lazy Owl Calis. '\
A TIPS il
leaves sewed together with strips
of some plant she had torn off the
stalks. This made a dear little
swinging bag open at the upper
end. In this was a soft white nest,
of :down upon which rested her
little ones. X
Miss Lazy Owl batted her sleepy’
eys and shook her ugly head.
She felt very much ashamed to
think she had made such a mis
take. Thanking Mrs. Tailor Bird
she flew back to ‘her own nest
in the hollow tree and went to sleep
again.
Mrs. Tailoer Bird laughed.merrily
and hopped back into her little
house, muttering something about
lazy folks who never will learn,

MUCH LESS TROUBLE.
Above her grim, determined face, the
ladv in the front row of the pit wore &
large, well-feathered hat. Mutters be
hind her grew to cries of rage, but she
paid no heed.
At last an attendani approached her
/ “Madam,” said hy, “I really must re
quest you to remove your hat. It is in
terfering with the view of the gentleman
behind you.”
“Do you mean that weedy little crea
ture?” asked tho lady, as, with feathers
a-swing, she turned and eyed the com
plainant.
“The gentleman behind you,” the at
tendant correéted her, courteously.
The lady zettled herself again into her
seat,
“1 think,” she said, in a tone of de
cision, “that you will find it easier ami
pleasanter to remove him!"” t
AMPLY FUNFILLED,
The men in the smoking car talked
of all sorts of things, finally reaching
ambition.
“Yes, gentlemen,” said one, “real am
bition starts in childhood. And:@if we
ohey its impulse, we not only attain it
but actually we go far beyond it, Yes,
our ambition is gratified beyond ' our
wildest dreams.
“Look at me,”” he went on. “In my .{
boyhood 1 was ambitious to become a 1\
pirate. Today”-—and he looked round
the smoker proudly—‘today I run a
successful sea,nle hotel.” ”,
OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW.
C'ounsel: ‘*Now, sir, you have stated
that this han had the appearance of a
gentleman. Will you be good enough
to teil the jury how a gentleman looks,
in vour estimation?” Witness: *‘“Well,
er—a gentleman looks er—like—er——'"
Counsel: “I don’'t want any of your -ers."”
Can you see anybody in this courtroom
who looks like a gentleman?” Witness:
“I can if you'll stand out of the way.”
