Alice meant to land one on my own Innocent ankles, and miscalculated her distance. That's tho answer." Dicky's face expressed ludicrous 1 Tvilderment. "Is that her usual method of reetrainlng you?" h aeked. "Oh, yes!" Miss Dean murmured with a martyred air. "Nobody InowB what I nuffer at her hands, J mean her fet. Any time I get what she terms 'Indiscreet' In my conversation she lands on me. That's the reason I always wear high fchoes." "Indiscreet?" Dicky echoed. "I fay, this Id getting interesting.

"They My she's been rearing at Kenny In seven lancuajres, and ehe may need a relay." "Sho mupt be a pleasant party," Dicky replied. "It's a "wonder tockbridgo doesn't strangle her.

were both relieved at the clever way Dss Dean had masked the real reason for Alice Holcombe's unfortunate signal to her beneath the table the fear that Fhe might unwittingly reveal Mrs. Stockbridge's Jealousy.

you keep your wife in subjection? I thought ehe appeared quite subdued." "Give her a whaling every morning whether she needs it or not," Dicky rejoined complacently. "Hut, talk of the devil Just look there." A waiter made hLs way to a table near us, and following him came a motor party with Kenneth and Milly Etockbrldge in the van.

"Little Sweetie's papa and mama and fond sisters are with us tonifrht."

She has the trick of speaking in an almost inaudible tone, yet managing to make herself comprehended Ly the person she i addressing. lrsx Dean Obcrr'. I was relieved, however, when in another minute the orchestra struck up a highly syncopated Felection. which made it possible for one's next neighbor to shout the most dangerous secrets without the slightest chance of having them overheard. "You know. I think there's going to be fireworks." Bess Dean went on. guilelessly pretending to be absorbed in buttering a roll. There was the naive enjoyment of a child at a circus in her voico and manner, and I realized that while she might have generous, sensible moments in which she would give any aid in her power to her harassed principal, yet her general attitude toward the domestic tragedy of Kenneth and Milly Stockbridsro was that of a spectator, who did not much care whether she were amused or shocked so long as the drama re

mained interesting. I was not certain how much she i:nw or guessed concerning Milly Stockbridge's insan and absurd jealousy cf me. which had so nearly proved a tragedy upon the night of the reception to Dicky at the principal's home. Nor did I care particularly except for my fear that through some inadvertent look or gesture Dicky might suspect the truth. He had bent toward Miss Dean as she spoke, and I saw a look of surprise ft ash into his face. A IVnel Complaint. "Fireworks?" he repeated wonderingly. "Pipe the thundercloud at your right!" Miss Dean went on mischievously. "Kenny's been doing something he hadn't orter. Perhaps he didn't give the poodle the proper

She was dimpling- adorably as fho talked, and Dicky laughed heartily at what he evidently accepted as audacious nonesense. Hut I .ook advantage of his absorption to murmur a worried question in the ear of Alice-Ilolcombe on the other side of me. "Do you think we ought to get out of here?" "Wo can't," Fhe responded promptly, "without attracting attenti n both from Milly and the public, which we don't want.

That'a an old trick of hers, to worry the life out of her husband and her relatives until they take her to some place of this kind she loved gayety of any sort and then proceed to let loose all the meanness that's in her." From the other tabl came the confirmation of her words, Milly Stockbridge's voice was raised ehllly. "For heaven's &a5oo. Ken, don't slouch like that in your chair. I should think you could manage to sit up straight even if you can't stand that way. You Just do it on purpose to annoy roe." Sixty-sLx countries receive the ministry of Salvation army workers. In the United States alone its enterprises embrace field evangelical work, hotels for the poor.

m i:uz.Rnni iiAiimsoN. (Author of "A Study of Child Nature," "When Children Krr" and other writings.) When Dr. Anna Howard Siiaw was chairman of the women's committee of war defense, she wrote from Washington: "I get many letters front teachers. In country schools particularly, which Fay. We love our country and we want to help It; vhat can we do to serve It?'" Sh continued. "I have one answer to make; "Stick right to your job.' There is no work that any woman can do for her country today that is more needed, more patriotic than to Flay by the school and teach patriotism to the youth of the country." This is just as true today ns it was during the war. In a hundred ways tho average teacher can stir the lovo of country in tho hearts of her pupils; by the saluting of our flag each day after its Figniflcanco has been explained; by enthus.astic singing of patriotic songs and by stories of American discoverer;;, pioneers and heroes. In these and other ways the teacher can bring about a wonderful quickening of the children's right emotions, directing them into happy and useful activities. Young children of kindergarten age can carry into their homes love and appreciation for our nation, as shown by the following story. A certain kindergarten located In one of the "doubtful" districts of Chicago, was in charge of a most enthusiastic and patriotic young kindergartener. On the first Memorial day after our entry into the world war each child in the "kindergarten made a little American Hag. They were dellg-hted to take this bit of

NO laundry problems fretted the primitive woman. If on Monday morning the family required a change of raiment, she ventured forth and plucked a new wardrobe from a convenient bough. But as the race accumulated years and clothes, the Monday morning problem became an increasingly difficult one. By the time of the Egyptians, 4000 years ago, the family wash was "treated" by stamping on it with the feet and beating it with the white clay of the Nile. The Egyptians' was a one-method process with no object but ths elimination of dirt. Washing methods have been increased to four of five by the modern housewife. For each of the several classeä of goods woolens, silks, cottons and miscellaneous she may use a special laundering process.

in a way that lceeps the dyes from running. In our laundry, even greater refinements are practiced. Instead of four or five methods of handling the family washing, we use a dozen. Your wearing apparel and household article? are carefully sorted by trained workers sorted and "pigeon-holed" in the same way that the mail clerk sorts and pigeon-holes your letters. Woolens, silks, laces, badly soiled articles, linens, light colors, cottons, dark colors, curtains and so on are placed in special compartments and kept apart to be washed separately by special means. A dozen methods for handling your family washing these are what we employ. Isn't this immensely superior to the old-fashioned washtub way? It is this attention to detail this specialization

that has made our laundry a conserver of clothes and a true economy. Send us your family washing ar d we will give you ideal service and freedom from washday drudgery.
