CHAPTER XVII. Sir Lncien has elected tj come late Ii bis own private brougham, to Madam O'Flaherty's hall, a decision that was warmly encouraged by his nearest and dearest. He has come very late Indeed when supper is well on but Madam, seeIns him, swoops down upon him instantly. She is always beautifully unconscious of the "fact that he detests her, and has indeed been often heard to say that she is lorry she can't come oftener to see poor Lucien." "So you've come. Better late than never! cries she with all the loud "bonhomie that makes him hate her. "Glad of it! Look here, there's old Lady Kilburn over there-see her? in a brand new white satin gown! Go and ask her to dance the next set of lancers. Do now ! It'll do you both good. Oh, Amber, my darling, here you are again, and looking lovely lovely. Your cheeks like lilies blended with roses ! I hope you are taking care of her, Mr. Everard?" "I don't Know, says Everard, who is looking very distinguished, and extremely juiet. "You must ask Miss O'Connell for a character for me." "It's such a delightful dance," says Amber, laying her hand on Madam's arm. who lays her big fat one over the little lender clinging fingers, and taps them kindly, lovingly. "Oh !" with a little sigh of deepest content, "I feel so happy! "Come into the library a rest will do as both good," says Everard suddenly. A well of feeling, such as he never known before, ha sprang up within his breast. It is the one pure passion of his life. This child, so iure that nil the world is good so unsuspicious of eil. so ready to believe In the sweetness, the goodness of life so ignorant of the evil. They move away, unconscious that Madam's eyes are following them. But Madam's eyes are terrible things that roam about here, there and everywhere, seeking whom they may devour. Her dislike to Mrs. Clarance is hardly a stronger feeling than that she entertains for Everard. And to see that "dear innocent" with him. "Well, anyway," says Madam to herself with inward consolation, "it will make Mrs. Know-Nothing sit op a bit !" Turning, she finds serself fR-e to face with Mrs. Know-Nothing, who is sitting an a lounge, with a big fan and a general air of almost insolent boredom. "Hope you are enjoying yourself," says Madam, with a malevolent smile and a tnort "Oh, immensely ! Immensely !" responds Dolly rapturously, making a great matter of stifling a yawn behind her fan. "Yon look it says Madam tersely. Then, "How's yoar husband?' "I don't really know," says Dolly. "lie always directs his letters to our place in Sutherland, and so of course servants are so dilatory I can't tell you if he wrote last r.onth, or the month before that or any month. "Expecting him home?" with increasing volume in the usually too loud tones. "I don't know. Sit down, dear Madam, and let us talk about it! You look very fatigued." "In my opinion," says Madam, with a burst of virtuous anger, "he'll never come home ! Never ! And small blame to him ! I say it a j ain. He'll never come home. You knov that, anyway. "I don't indeed," Kays Dolly with more truthfulness than she usually betrays. It is to her extreme discontent that she knows her George is already on his homeward way. She raises her long glasses and surveys Madam with an air of surprised but p'.acid inquiry. "You haven't heard he is dead, have you?" Madam, distinctly routed, makes a gesture of supreme disgust, and without trusting herwlf.to say another word, makes a martial stride past her, and seeing a window open that leads first to a balcony, and then to the gardens beneath, instinctively :n&kes for it, with the idea, perhaps, of cooling her fevered brow. Really, all these Castle people are unfit to be known ! That shocking little woman, and as for- the man called Everard the feels it almost her duty to follow him and Amber, and drag the dear girl away from him, by force if necessary but she Has gone through far too much already. Now she will go and warn her. But how to warn Amber, who is at times a little difficult? She meditates; and then a bright thought comes to her. Hilary will be the very one to whom to tell her doubts. Of all the Carrig party, he alrne Is approved of by her. Yes, she wil' get Hilary to look after Amber.t It i just when this thought has occurred to her that she meets Hilary. "My dear ; boy," you !' says si e. She had known him off and on since he was very young. "The very one I wanted." "Can't you want me a little later, Madam?" asks he, smiling. "I'm ia a hurry now. I'm locking for your favorite. Amber." "Ah! That's my want!" says she. "So you don't know where she is, then? "No." A sense of fear lays a cold band upon his heart. "She went to sit out the lust dance with Everard," says Madam. "That I know ; I'd be glad, my dear Hilary, if you rould find her, and prevent her from sitting out the next with him. But from what I could see, I " She says t, good deal more, but Hilary Joes not hear her. lie has gone back to the house. CIIAITEP. XVIII. The light in dim a he enters the library. He had searched many rooms before finding her here. Now he can ee her, sitting in a big oft chair, close to Everard, who, in a chair of harder make, is leaning forward, his elbows on lis knees, evidently in earnest conversation with her. Through the halMijht, Amber's beauty, so soft, so kindly, shines tike a star. He walks straight up to her. "Our danc.2, I think." His tone is so abrupt, so almost choked, that the girl looks up at him very suddenly. "Ours? Is it?" Khe rises. "You must tell me the rest another time, Mr. Everard," says she over her shoulder. Adare leads her, not to the ball room, !ut through the hall to the balcony by which he had just entered the house in learch of her. "What is it? asks she a little nervously, a'irmod by his silence, his rapid movement, his whole air. "What should it be?" He has stopped at the end of the balcony, vher the shadjws are thicker. "Nothing, I 8np-Kse," plucking up a little spirit, "only your manner is so itrange, so abrupt. And I thought your voice sounded angry Just now. But I think I only fancied it." "No doubt." He leaves her abruptly, and going to the railing of the balcony, crosses his arms on it. He is struggling with a mad pas3;on of jealousy and despair. If this one vornan will not love him, what can all his life be to him from this day forth? What good, whrt joy, what comfort can It contain? On! and, more than that, can hr even live without her? The quick sound of her feet behind him checks his thoughts. He turns to her a frowning face. "Ah! don't look at me like that'." says Amber. "Don't look but tell me." A little gentle hand is now slipped into his.

"Tell me what I have done !" "Don't you know? Can't you guess." cries he in a stifled tone, "what I felt when I saw you there in that dark room with that fellow?" "No," says she in a low tone. She draws back involuntarily, as if frightened by his manner. "Why do you speak of him like that? Why should I not be with him? I like him; he i3 always very kind to me." "I despise him," begins he sharply, fiercely, then checks himself. After all, w&at is he to say? How explain to her that Everard's reputation is not all it ought to be? "Come down," saya he hoarsely, pointing to the gardens beneath, "I , can't talk to you here. Let us stop here," says he, when they have come to a clump of evergreens that hides them effectually from any passer-by. His heart is still hot within him, and his voice sounds to her stern and harsh. Such a tone irom Brian Deane would have been met by cold anger on her part, but from Hilary! "I must speak to you." "Oh, but not in that voice." . She lays her hand gently on his arm. "You have been so good to me always that that you will have to go on being good." Suddenly in his grief and despair all things are cast aside and she is in his arms, her cheek pressed against his own, his heart beating madly against hers ! "My darling ! my own ! Amber ! Oh ! it is folly to tell you I love you. You know-yoa must know." "Yes, yes. But you must not love me." This is dreadful; but be takes courage from the fact that .as she gives sound to this awful sentence her arms tighten round him. He passes it over very lightly indeed. "I'm not worth thinking about," says he. "But do you love me, my sweetheart?" "No!" says she, in a tone that she fondly hopes is heroic, but is only tearful. "Oh ! Amber ! and here." He tightens his arms round her. "To say that here." "It was a lie," cries poor Arnberg giving in miserably. "But how can I love you, or let you love me, with this stain on my father's name?" "Nonsense! If that is all," jubilantly. "It is all," solemnly. "But No, let me stand away from you ; but it means everything. I shall not let you love me until my father's memory is cleared." "Why, think, darling," cries he, still holding her hands, as he cannot hold herself. "Who believes in that absurd story of the missing jewels, except our mad old uncle Sir Lucien?" "Ard Brian Deane !" "I don't believe he knows anything. I don't really. He has only been working on Sir Lucien's nerves, first, perhaps, with a view to making money out of him, ana latterly to get him to forward his marriage with you." "Still, Hilary, I cannot marry you. Don't think m j cold, or heartless, because I do love you, I do, I do." "My own darling girl !" "Only to marry you! With such a cloud as this shame hanging over me. Oh, no, I couldn't !" "Let us talk of ourselves. You are mine now, you are mine. Amber! Say that. Here stands my affianced bride !" "You won't tell anyone about it, will you?" she entreats; and then, seeing rebellion in his face, "You will promise that, you must. You will promise faithfully to tell no one." "I don't think I can. At least" smiling at her perturbed face "not faithfully. I want to tell Sir Lucien for one." "Oh! not Sir Lucien." "lie first! I could not stand the idea of hiding our engagement from him of all people." There is so much loyalty towards her in this eager desire to tell the man who has been so unjust to her all along, of his own admiration and love for her, that Amber's eyes grow full of tears, half sad, half happy. Oh ! if only things had been different ! "He will disinherit you." "Let him! I've a thousand a year of my own, left me by my p.vr mother. We can pull along very well on that. Can go out to India and live happy there ever after." "You would give up all Sir Lucien's immense wealth I" She turns upon him with flashing eyes. "And for me! No, no. Do you think for one moment I would hear of such a thing? No, I take back every word T liave said. I won't be engaged to you, Hilary. No. not in any way. You may think I don't mean it, but I do." "Will you take back 'I love you'?" "Yes, certainly. I never meant it. It" with a little stamp of her foot "was a mere folly. Of course I don't love you." So firm, so determined is her whole air, so fierce is the stamp of her foot, that in spite of his effort to control himself, Hilary bursts into a roar of laughter. He is horrified at himself, but cannot control his amusement, and indeed It stands him in good stead. If he had talked to her sensibly for half a day, not one of his wise arguments would so have convinced hefl of his determination to have and to hold her as does this irrepressible burst of laughter. "Forgive me,' says he at last. "Oh! you can laugh if you like; but I mean it." Her tone, however, is a little feeble. "Not you," says he comfortably. "And even if you did" drawing ber tenderly to him, and pressing her sweet and lovely head against his shoulder "it would be of no use. I have given myself to you, and you have given yourself to me; and " He pauses. "Well, that's all," says be. And so it seems it is.'

CHAPTER XIX. She has, however, exthracted from hira a promise not to tell Sir Lucien until she has left Carrig, which will be the day after to-morrow during their return to the house. A promise reluctantly given and remembered afterwards ! Almost as they reach the yellow rays of light that lie across the paths beneath the windows, two men coming out of the shadows approach them Sir Lucien and Brian Deane. "Have you nothing better to do, Hilary," says Sir Lucien in a clear tone, subdued, but full of ungovernable temper, "than to walk about the garden all night with Miss O'Connell?" "I have been with my cousin and your niece!" says Adare slowly and defiantly, and with a good deal of accentuation. "You have been with the girl who Is to ir.arry Mr. Deane !" says Sir Lucien. lie turns and beckons Deane forward. "See to it. See to it," cries he furiously. A very madness has entered into him. If the girl will not marry Deane, then the bargain between him and Deane falls to the ground, and the jewels will never be his. Oh! what is the worth of a silly girl's happiness, in comparison with the possession of those priceless stones? Deane has come forward. Iiis face is livid as he meets Adare. Involuntarily he thrusts his hand into h:3 left side, beneath his coat. No doubt in the land he has just come from, revolvers at times are handy little things. Without a revolver, Adare's set and stern face is distinctly disagreeable. Out of the darkness that surrounds all this, a girl's voice rings ole arly :

"I am not going to marry Mr. Deane !H It is Amber. It thrills through Adare. But why did she not say she was going to marry him? It would have eased so much of the tension. His promise to her alone holds him from speaking aloud just now. "Pardon me ! You must, I think. Your father's name and the disgrace attached to it will prevent your " "Why should she remember her father's name?" breaks in Adare violently. "Her father's name so far has no stain upon it, save what his relation, Mr. Deane, has chosen to cast there. As for my cousin, she tells me she is not engaged to Mr. Deane." "She seems to be very communicative with you." Sir Lucien's voice is now vindictive. "May I ask," slowly, "if she is engaged to you?" Adare at this juncture would have made a declaration of his engagement to Amber, in spite of that promise he had given her only a few minutes before. But looking at her, as if to command her permission to speak, the anguished look in her eyes forbids him to go farther, lie is about then to answer Sir Lucien in some slight trivial way, though his heart is on fire, when Deane breaks the silence. Passing suddenly by Sir Lucien, he comes close to Amber. "Give me five minutes?" Adare, who is standing beside Amber, pushes him unceremoniously aside. "Not one," says he, in a voice of concentrated fury. "Yes, one," says Amber. She lays her hand on Hilary's sleeve, and looks at him. "Just one." Her voice is a mere whisper, heard by him alone. "It will be better. It will be the end." Then she turns ro Brian. (To be continued.)

WHEff TO SHOOT A MOOSE. Hunter's Core for the Slaes in the Canadian Wilderness. "Did you ever spend the winter in the woods up In Canada cruising for timber?" asked II. N. Brown of a Milwaukee Sentinel man. "Do you know it is a curious feeling being out there alono or with just an Indian guide. "The thing that impresses you most is the awful stillness. The slightest sound seems like a cannot shot. You get to talking to yourself, asking and answering questions nnd lots of other things which you would not think of doing down here, or if you did they would be having a commission sitting on you as a candidate for the dippy house. About all you think of is hew to get enough to eat, for your appetite increases as the supply of food grows less. We got Into that condition finally when it was get something or begin to eat our boots. "One morning my Indian crime In with a grin on his face. Now. an Indian up there never smiles. In wrestling -with that frozen north they seem to get sour and sullen. This made me more surprised when the Indian came Into the shack beaming, 'Well, what Is it?' I inquired. "'Moose, big moose,' was the reply. 'Went by this morning; catch 'em. maybe. y "That was enough for a hungry man. I-went out and there were the footprints of a big moose who bad gono by, as the Indian said, about three hours before. I got into my coat strapped on my snowshoes, took my rifle and we started after Mr. Moose. We went about ten miles before we saw him. He was on a side hill browsing on the twigs. It was a long shot, but I raised my rifle, when the Indian touched my arm, saying, 'No shoot. "I hesitated, but he Insisted, sajhig, 'No shoot now, himeby mnyle. By that time the moose had sighted us and started off at a rate which took htm out of sight in a few minutes. We were twenty miles farther on when we saw him again and were near enough to try to shoot, but my Indian insisted I must not. Well, we followed that moose three days. The big fellow tired at last nnd started back the way he came, we following. Then we came up with him only a short dlstaice from the shack. 'Now shoot,' said the Indian. I fired and the moose dropped. "When it was all over and we had meat in plenty and the big hide stretched before the blazing fire in the shack I said to my Indian, 'Why didn't you want me to shoot that moose at first when he was not so worn down as he was after that long chase?' " 'Lose heap fun,' was the reply. Well, do you know when I came to study over it I began to see his point of view. It was not so much the killing as It was the chase which to him was Interesting, and he was willing to travel over forty or fifty miles Just for the hunt, and the more I thought of it the more I agreed with him. I had been growing ugly and nervous myself before, but after that long chase I was another max." Such m Help. A faithful servant had grown old In the service of a railway company, and at last became too feeble to work. The general manager was asked If the company would not do something for him, as he was very poor. "How long has he been with us?" the official Inquired. "Over forty years." "Always did his duty." "Never missed a day.' "You say he Is very old and feeble?" "Yes. The chances are that he will never leave his bed again." "Il'm! Poor fellow! We must do something for him. 111 give him a free pass for life over all the company's railway system." The Weight o( Years. "A woman." remarked the observer of things aud events, "doesn't begin to feel the weight of years until she discovers her first gray hair." "And a man," rejoined th strongminded female, "begiis to feel the weight of them on his twnty-first birthday, and it tal:cs about fifteeu years for it to wear cff." The Flippant Yootb. "You know it all now, my son," said the old man, "but when you have reached my age you will nnd you know comparatively nothing." "I guess that's right, dad," replied the flippant youth. "I've often heard that one forgets much lu his declining jears." Advantage of Practice. "That Congressman who used to bo a lumber man ought to have an easy time with his bills." "Why so?" "Because he Is so used to log-rolling." Baltimore American. Fine Prospect tor the PoMle. "The corporation has resolved at last to lay out a park for the benefit of the poor." "Have the preparations begun?" "Yes. All the 'Keep Off the Grass' igns have arrived already." Germany's population Is Increasing :i".uch more rapidly than that of Britain and France. This Is a nation's greatest source of strength.

BESGES Dress Form Fits All. Through the Ingenuity of a New York man, shopkeepers and dressmakers wlli be nolo to get along here after with one kind of dress form. Long waists and short waists all look .alike on this body portion, which can be adJusted to fit anything the human form can wear. The form is dress form. made similar to those now in use, except that the model enn be moved up and down on the upright rod that runs through the center and affixed at any height over the hip line that may be desired. In the oldstyle frra a short-walsted waist did not fit on a long-waisted model, and vice versa, and both for window display and dressmaking a number of forms were required for a different type of figure. Either for fitting or display this Invention is expected to be of value, both In the saving of money and time, for not only will one take the place of several of the old designs, but it will not be necessary to scour about for the suitable form for each occasion. Health and Heanty Hints. A prominent doctor says tennis Is the most healthful of all recreations. For a run-around on the finger thicken the yolk of an egg with salt and spGrape fruit will break up malarial disorders if taken in time, as it Is ,' said to have the qualities of quinine In smaller degree. During the summer be careful. Because you are very warm do not immediately try to freeze to death; because you are thirsty do not consume gallons of Iced water. The Juice of a raw onion is the antidote to the sting of a bee or wasp. When sfung, remove tbe sting If 1J be left behind and then lay a slice of raw onion on the place. The smarting will cease at once. A case of hiccoughs is always unpleasant nnd often quite distressing. An efficacious remedy Is fr . hold the hands straight above the h ..d, drawing air deep into the lungs meanwhile and retaining the breath as long as possible. If yout face is too red be careful of your diet Take no hot drinks, but plenty of cooling ones. Don't wash the face In cold water, nor when you feel flushed. Luke-warm water Is better. Hot foot baths are also tald to be very good In cases of this kind. For nn ordinary sore throat, with loss of voice or huskiness, dip a folded handkerchief In cold water. Encircle the neck with the wet handkerchief and cover it with several folds of old flannel. One night's application is usually sufficient to relieve slight cases. The pale, anaemic woman will find the salt bath, pri-pared as follows, somewhat helpful on dragging summer dsys: Dissolve forty grams of gelatin In a quart of boiling water, add 100 grams of subcarbonate of soda "nd fifty grams of sulphate of potasslr a. Mix thoroughly and pour into a hot bath. DAM Neckties are still narrow; some are of silk gauze and are knotted very low on the bodice. "Bust" Is the very latest creation la the color line, and it is as the name implies a sort of reddish brown. At present It Is said to be rather a popular shade for dress materials, because it allows of almost any color hat violet, green, pink or blue will harmonize with it equally well. Very smart are to be lingerie waists in colors rather than in white, deep rich orange, a brownish ecru ia Nattier blue, or a grayish hue, worn with linen skirts to match and long coats of unllned coarse cotton net In the same hue; this last loaded with soutache, tiny buttons, cords and tassels. Huge hatpins are still la vogue and there are some new ones of pearl which are stuck through the hair at the side. Just above tbe ear, and this gives the effect of a rather barbarous adornment. Some of these large pins are very handsome for ,they an? made of cut Jade, Ivory or finest Jet. Buching Is as popular as ever, and is worn at the top of the collar. Some of it Is two Inches In width and made of four thicknesses of material. This is somewhat exaggerated, but It really does make an attractive finish to the top of the new stocks. Some of the ruchlng is hand-embroidered; other sorts are plain white, finished with a little ruffling of Valenciennes lace edging. Neckwear Is interesting to talk about, for there is always a new style or finishing touch which Is quite worthy of consideration. There are narrow tin of velvet ribbon or striped taffeta, made Into a smart bow In front, with ends several inchrs long, finished with a gold tassel or with a fringe of colored beads. Another new fad is a band of tiny Leads knitted into a design and decorated with fringe; this barbaric necklace passes once around the neck and tics in front with a loose knot over a Jabot. The radical change in footwear Is very noticeable! and because dresses are extremely long the shoes are less conspicuous than ever, but are extremely graceful. For afternoon wear the low shoes have short vamps, low buckles, high heels and uppers to match the color scheme of the dress. The evening shoe shows ribbons around the ankle. Many women who have adopted the long Grecian modes are wearing satin slipiers absolutely without heels. The style Is startling, to say the least, yet for picturesque effect the Idea is clever enough. A Woman'i Duty The woman of taste keeps abreast of the fashions in a way, that is, she drops wornout styles and adopts wbat-

TWO NEW The figure on the left wears a coat suit of gray satin, the Directolre coat trimmed with black satin. Waistcoat Is of yellowish satin. ever newones she can adapt to her use. If she can afford it she patronizes first-class 'dressmakers and getther money's worth by wearing her clothes two or three seasons without losing her prestige as a well-dressed woman. There is an advantage In this method, as you can see, and I have been told by women who use It that there Is economy as well. It Is no economy to save at the expense of good looks. It Is a -woman's duty to look her best, a duty she owes to her family. If she can secure It by a small expenditure, so much the better, but to save by accepting shabblness is not creditable save In dire stress of circumstances. Poverty Is an excuse for shabbiness and nothing else Is accepted by the world, save in the rare cases of shabby millionaires. Urldal Superstitions. Married In January's hoar and rime, good things will come if you wait your time. Married In February's sleety weather, life youil tread In tune together. Married when March winds whine and roar, vyour home will be on a foreign shore. Married 'neath April's changeful skies, a checkered path before you lies. Married when bees o'er May blossoms flit, strangers around your board will sit. Married in month o roses June life will be a long honeymoon. Married iu July, with flowers ablaze, bitter-sweet memories in after days. Married in August's heat and drowse, lover and friend In your chosen spouse. Married In golden September's glow, smooth and serene your life will go. Married when leaves In October thin, toil and hardship for you begin. Married In veils of November mist, fortune your wedding ring has kissed. Married In days of December cheer, love's star shines brighter from year to year. If You are Thin. Don't over exercise. Sleep all you can. Don't worry, hurry or get in a flurry. c-. Don't lose your temper or let trifles Irritate you. Eat freely of flesh-making foods, but not enough to ruin your digestion, which means greater angularity. Drink at your meals and take plenty of water, as well as cocoa, chocolate and milk. Avoid pickles, acids, salt meats or fish. Best frequently, keep In the open air and sleep in well-ventllated room. Learn to dress to conceal your defects. You may think it Is hard to do, but It Isn't a circumstance to the trouble your stout sister has to mask her flesh. Callinir Name. Call a girl a chick and she smiles. Call a woman a hen and she howls. Call a young woman a witch and she is indignant. Call a girl a kitten and she rather likes it ' Call a woman a cat and she hates you. Women are queer. If you call a man a gay dog. It will flatter him. Call him a pup, a hound or a cur, and he will try to alter the map of your face. He doesn't mind being called a bull or a bear, yet he will object to being mentioned as a calf or a cub. Men are queer, too. Clean Xook.lns Olnsnen. A piece of fine sjwnge, a soft cloth, and an old silk handkerchief, all perfectly clean, are required to clean a looking glass. First sponge ' the glass with a little wine or gin and water to remove all spots and then dust the glass over wtih powder blue tied in inuslin. Bub it lightly and quickly off and polish with the silk handkerchief. Women Inventors. Jane Y. Sutch. of Philadelphia, Invented a mustache spoon. Mary Brush, of Davenport, Iowa, Invented a boneless corset. Mrs. Egbert Parnell, an Australian, invented perforated uaderwear. Mrs. Kendall, the actress, Invented a very handsome and popular lamp shade. The carpet sweeper was

Mary Kies, In 1S00, took out in Washington the first patent for straw weaving. Mary E. Beasley, of Philadelphia, patented. In 1SSL a barrel-making machine. All barrels be-j fore that time were made by hand.' Emily Durrans, an English woman. Invented the double-pointed nail, which will join two pieces of wood without leavbg visible any part of itself. Hat Trimmed with Feathers. A lovely dress hat Is shown In 'the drawing, the model belog a good one in various combinations and colors. Peacock, a shade between blue and green, was used in the original, the, straw being a fine Milan. The feathers were in the form of a thin flounce of theostrich plumes, mounted on a wire and taken around the crown. White gardenias were applied In the center of this flounce, and the feathers were clustered high at the left side. Avoid Dandruff. Dandruff is infectious. Many men get the germ from the brushes and combs used In barber shops, and women from those used In hair-dressing establishments. There Is great danger of this kind. In some places there Is no doubt that the brushes and combs are inorouguiy cleansed and soaked in antiseptic solutions each time they are used, but these places are very rare. Even at home the dandruff germ may be passed from one member of the family to the other by the Interchangeable use of combs and brushes without first cleansing them thoroughly. Harper's Bazar. .. ... . ... Wedding; Guests. Now receive, besides the card that gives entrance to the church, a pew number, which is far simpler and more expeditious for the ushers than the oldfashioned method of rustling and rummaging through a Jong list to fled the proper disposition of each arrival. The number la written In oae corner of the entrance card. The usher, however, still has a list by which he can place guests who have chanced to mislay their number. Confusion Is avoided aud time saved by this method. ' Washing the Hair Drunh. A hair brush can be easily and quick, ly washed, as nothing is needed but some warn; water and a small piece of soda. Dissolve the soda in the water and then dab the bristle part of the hair brush Into the water three or four times, or until It Is clean. Binse the brush well In cold water and wipe it as dry as possible. Then set it to finish drying In a window w here the wind will blow in on It if possible. A Labor-Saving Scheme. "John," said the newly married business man. "Yes, sir," responded the office boy. "Call up my wife every fifteen minutes and mumble lovey-dovey, tootseywootsey about seven or eight times." Rehoboth Sunday Herald. Selecting? Linoleum. Get all linoleum of the same pattern, then, if later on, you happen to move Into larger quarters, what is now In two rooms, can be used to cover one. To Stop Hiccoughs. For troublesome hiccoughs try a teaspoon of granulated sugar and thret drops of vinegar or lemon Juice.

HE SLEEPS IN A CITY TEED.

Lone Island Br Makes His Summa Home In a HI? Walnut. Sleeping outdoors In a rudely constructed house erected among the branches of a high walnut tree In the heart of Flatbush, a young Polytechnic Institute student has adopted a novel method of "getting near to nature,' says the New York Sun. The tree sleeper last year tried this method of outdoor life, starting In the early spring and continuing until the first real snowfall of the season. The "tree house," as the people In the neighborhood call it, is located on tha lawn surrounding the home of Mrs. W. F. Lees, Flatbush. w! Thompson Lees Is the tree dweller. A wooden stairway winds around the tree's trunk leading to the single chamber above. The entire structure Is made of wood and was designed by young Lees and his chum. Vail Applegate, a freshman at Dartmouth college The boys built the house a little mora than two years ago, but It Is only lately that they havo converted It Into a sleeping place. At first their intention was simply to build a "crow's nest" where they could seclude themselves on rainy afternoons and days when It was too hot for active exercise.
