pled for more co-ordination of- plan
together with simplicity of treatment
in Interior decoration, before the club
at this luncheon. Color effects and
patterns which cause irritation were
deplored by the speaker. To utilize
the natural light to the utmost, to
avoid colors which cause high lighs
and shadows; to lone a room proper
ly. were some of the problems which
Mr. Fries recommended to the atten
tion of the business, men. Decora
tions in the home must always be
considered from the point of cheerful
ness, he concluded.
Beauty must be brought into
business life as well as into the horns,
maintained the speaker. Art should
also take up her habitation in the
business office.
Here at least, one may observe, is
a free laboratory—or studio—in which
the T. B. M. may work out his new
found interest in art. Should friend
wife resent his yearnings after com
mand in the realms of the spirit, and
remind him that the home is womah's
sphere, ho can always go downtown
and try art out on the rftenographer.
Probably, however, no wife will be
so cruel as to drive him to such
lengths. Most women are wise
epough to appreciate that a room
planned by tiyo is just twice as en
joyable, even though it may be only
half as beautiful, as that which re
flects one person's will alone.

“My Husband’s Love”
A Letter and a Family Conference.
Lillian moved to the door swiftly
aa she spoke and unlocked It. Katie,
her face purple with excitement, al
most fell into the room.
"Coom qveeck to old woman's
room,” she gasped. “I tink she awful
bad.”
I ran swiftly past her, followed
closely by Killian, calling over my
shoulder to Katie to fetch some water
Immediately. But at the open door
of my mother-in law’s room I paused
seeing that whatever of alarming
weakness had been hers. It was pass
lng. True, her figure sagged against
her chair, as if utterly spent, but
the color in her lips—the first thing
which I watch in her—and her eyes
were gleaming with determination.
An open letter was clutched in her
hand and as we entered, she raised
It, and shook it at me feebly.
“Call Harriet and Edwin and Rich
ard up here immediately,’’ she said.
“No, Mrs. Underwood,” as Lillian
moved toward the door. “I want you
to stay, too, Katie'."—she greeted my
terrified little maid, iwhose shaking
hand had difficulty id proffering me
the glass of water for which I had
asked—“stop that trembling—I’m all
right—and go down to the children.
Don't let any one of them come near
this room, where they can hear what's
being said, until I send for them. Do
you understand?”
“Oh, yes, ma'am, I feex,” Katie's
familiar slogun sounded, as she fol
lowed my hurried passage down the
stairs, and she was at my heels when
X entered the living room.
“Mother Graham would like to see
all the 'grown ups’ in her room up
stairs right a\tay," I announced in
as casual a voice as I could manage.
“Katie will stay here With you. X
know she'd love to play that game
of animals with you."
"All I could play would be a leetle
donkey,” Katie caroled, grinning
widely, and in another minute the
children were gathered closely
around her, for they all adore her,
und the three older people were fol
lowing me upstairs.
“What's eating mother?" Dicky
asked in a low voice as he overtook
me on the stairs.
"I wish I knew,” I murmured
back. ”1 think she must have re
ceived a letter which disturbed her,
for she W'aved one at me when she
told me to bring you all upstairs.”
“A letter!” Dicky repeated vague
ly. ”1 haven’t seen any mail yet to
day.”
"Nor you won’t until your mother
gets through looking it over,” I re
torted. "Have you forgotten that she
Insists upon having all the letters
brought to her first—"
"And then transforms herself into
a postman, sorting and distributing
them,” Dicky Interrupted. “ I ought
to remember it. She’s held me up
often enough that way. But X won
der what’s In the wind now. that
she’s hauling us all up for this mys
terious conference.”
He did not have to wait long for
his answer. As we filed into the room
Mother Graham took a quick, com
prehensive look at us, and spoke im
peratively.
"Lock that door and bring some
chairs near me. We don't want the
children to overhear this.”
Lillian Iteads (lie Letter.
We obeyed her, and when we had
formed* a compact circle around tier,
Mother Graham surprisingly held out
the letter to Lillian.
"Airs. Underwood, you are the only
one who Isn’t vitally concerned in
this," she said, "so you wan't waste
any time 'oil ing or ‘ah-log’ over It.
Please read it, slowly and distinctly,
mind you!”
She had all the air of a fourth
grade teacher directing a reading
lesson, and I saw Lillian's lips twitch
as she took the stiff paper my moth
er-inlaw handed her. But she obeyed
the directions implicitly, and I think
even my captions mother-in-law was
satisfied at her reading of the star
tling epistle to which she listened.
The heading was that of an attor
ney in a Pennsylvania village, the
date that of a few days before, the
address most formal.
"Mrs. Harriet Graham,
Bridgehampton. L.L.,
“New York.
"Dear Madame,” the letter began.
"It has come to our knowledge
that without our permission you have
removed the children of our late be
loved brother, William Harrison, to
your own home, and are there keep
ing them, without having consulted
us as to our wishes in the matter.
Therefore—”
Mother Graham thrpw herself hack
in her chair violently.
"J,ate heloved brother!” she snort
ed. "Why, not one of them* had
spoken to William for 15 years.”

Ladies! This Beats Cosmetics
GOOD health cannot be ca*
mouflaged by powder and
rouge. The eyes will tell. That
sparkle and clearness that denote
good health will not be there if
you are constipated. Mrs. Clara
Proctor of Pottersville, Mich., had
been told by doctors she had this
and that disease, and one advised
an operation, but she knew she
had been constipated all her life
so first tried Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. She avoided the opera
tion and now feels better than she
ever did. likewise Mrs. William
Appleton of Eddington, Pa., who
was badly constipated and now
looks her best again after using
Syrup Pepsin.

Intelligent women are realizing
that health and mere outward
complexion are two different
things, and more and more are
taking Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin. Over 10 million bottles were
bought in drug stores

in the world I Go to
your druggist and buy
