Now Mr. L. A. Wickham de cided to dine at the Country club this evening, and because dining alone is tedious he invited a few friends for a bachelor dinner. Accordingly he made a dinner reservation for six guests this evening. But he began to think that there were some others who should be included in the little party and made the number sixteen. When those were asked he thought of more, so that he brought the number up to twenty-eight, and made it an affair for Mrs. Elsie Bowles, who is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Butts. The last that I heard, it was thirty, and perhaps the poor man is still going yet. . He said, "If only Mrs. Wickham were here, she'd know bow to manage it." The man in question would not tell me who the guests are to be. He said, as all men do when you want to take notice of their social doings,. "Me on the society page) Why, if Mrs. Wick ham knew I am attempting to give a dinner, she'd come home on the first "train." "Why. can't she trust vou?" I asked.

Beautiful, shells .were among the first objects of adornment for his per son and his dwelling that were used by man, and their forms and colors furnished some of his earliest lessons in aesthetic education. Shells were also one of the first kinds of money. For the American In dians wampum beads made from shells took the place of gold. The ornamental uses of shells, as Mr. L. P. Qratacap shows in the Ameri can Museum Journal, are as curious as they are numerous. The most striking in appearance , are the imitations of flowers, although this appeals to a very primitive taste. It is the ingenuity of the combinations and the surprise felt that two such essentially different natural objects can be made to resemble each other, that afford the pleasure given by the sight of a basket, or garland, of shell flowers. Petals', stamens, ' pistils, leaves, stems, are all imitated in shell forms, while jn color tints and blendings it is questionable whether some shells are not superior to flowers. In the property of iridescence the finer shells certainly possess an advantage over any vegetable sample. Pearls are a kind of shell, formed within shells, and they have always "been regarded as the most queenly of gems. The Central American Indians have long been famous for their skill in making shell . flowers, and some ex quisite specimens of their work are to be. seen at .the museum in Central Park West. Baskets and flowers are Shell basket made by the In- aians oi ientral America, formed of small white oval shells; flowers are made of thin and shallow white and rose-tinted shells and both basket and flowers are con structed with fine wires very cleverly concealed. alike composed of white and delicate ly tinted shells, held in shape by fine wires. Flower baskets, made of shells by the Indians of Lower California, although very striking in appearance, are ranked below the Central Amer ican products, because glue instead of invisible wiring is employed to hold the work together. A truly magnificent article is a pair of bonbon dishes, belonging to Mrs. F. A. Constable, and loaned .to the museum, which are formed of abalone -hi-l's, supported by seahorses, the lat ter and the outside of the shells being coated with silver. The nacreous siilcndor nf the inner side of the aba- lone shells, forming the interior of the dishes, is remarkably attractive. But it is when shells are employed not to imitate something else in na hire, but for the sake of their own beautv. that the most admirable orna mental effects are obtained with them. This principle does not forbid their use -m the form ot head dresses, belts, uendants. etc. Thus at the museum there may be seen a life-size figure of a Tahitian "fire-walker," with his head encircled with a sarland of shells which have not been disguised in the form of imitation flowers. Primitive man in this respect has really shown better taste than civilized man, lor among savage tribes shells were not used imitatively, although there were often emoloved as symbols. The Fijian chiefs wore the orange cowry as a badge ot ottice, and shells. used simply as shells because they were in themselves beautiful, have been found amonir the personal adorn ments of early man in all parts of the world. Another use of shells more truly aesthetic than their employment to make imitation flowers is the adop tion of their forms as suggestions in the arts. Mr. Ruskin thought that he could trace such suggestions, derived from the cockle shell, in some of the ornamental features of European architecture. A fine adalone shell might afford to any artist fresh ideas in the combination of color tints. .:, How an Artist Finally Made Good By JANE M LEAN. Muriel,, who had just graduated from an art institute, came to New York filled with hdpe and the idea that some day she would make her name' famous. She had more than ordinary talent, but she had absorbed a great deal of the talk, true and false, that had circulated about the institute concerning what sold in New York, what kind of material was val uable and what artists were making good and -why. .Her favorite teacher had given her a few words of advice when she came to say goodby. " ' "You can never make good with art or with anything else," he had said Confidentlyi"'unless you use your best efforts.'; Don't bother with work that is not your forte, stick to the things that you can do. no matter how sim ple." .- f - ' ;', Y And Muriel had taken up her resi dence in a hall bedroom in a New York boardinB house, resolved to sell her work no matter what happened. 'Now it happened that across the hall lived two other girl artists who did -work rather cleverly and occa sionallv sold it to magazines. Muriel made friends with these girls and they gave ner some good advice. "What you want to .work at is , r- -i I the pretty girl," said one. "Pretty girl heads are universally popular, nearly everyone takes them. Just make up a couple and take them into The Call, or some magazine like that. You'll be sure to sell them." And Muriel, forgetful of her teach er's advice, had set to work to make prettv girl heads when her heart was not in her work, and her mind was filled with other things. Her work looked dull and lifeless after she had completed two pictures. But. she set forth with the watercolors in her port folio, resolved to try every magazine in New York before she despaired of selling them. It was dreary work. At some places she was asked to leave her material, at others she was told that the work was not quite what they wanted. - She didn't blame the editors. But it wasn't until her monev was near ly gone that she began io be really frightened and . wonder what she would do. Write home for money. she wouldn'nt. Her mother had pinched to send Muriel through the institute, and Muriel had resolved never to ask for another cent from home. It was when she had exactly 57 cents left in her nockethnnk that she determined to try something that ne really liked to do. And she be gan to work feverishly on the head of a ijttle child. ... It was a charminar thintr. done in pastels. Muriel loved it from the moment that she had heunn the nir. ture and she believed in it until one of the girls from across the hall came in and criticised it severely. You 11 never sret that srross " tin- said lightly. "Editors aren't taking things like that. You 're wastincr your time, my dear. When you have been in New York a little longer you will be willing to abide by the advice of people who know," And Muriel smiled a little and thought of that 57 cents and went on working. When it was finally finished, she packed it in her portfolio tenderly and took it to the Call, - the first magazine she had tried - in - New York. The art editor was not busy when she asked to see him and she was given an immediate audience. When she drew out the picture, the man never knew just how much a matter of life and death it was to this girl. "Hello," he said, holding it up and looking at it. "1 like this it's sin cere and well executed. I guess we'll take this, Miss Lane. You might do some more of the same kind. We can use several of these." And Murial heard the words "Seventy-five dollars," in a daze, her hands gripping the arm of the chair tightly lest she give way and sob before this man who had actually bought her picture. "Does it pay to be good?" wails Mabel. "I'm honest with people and I always do what seems the right thing. I'm dignified and loyal. And -all I get for my pains is the proud priv ilege of poking around at home when girls who haven't half as high stand ards as I have are being taken out and given a good time and are being advanced right over my head." To a practical question like "Does it pay to be good?" there is only one answer. "No if you are looking for definite returns on your investment. I Yes if you have any ideals you wish to cherish and any inherent sense of what you owe yourself." Of course, every once in a while some woman who h-.s broken all the rules of society ami morality marries a millionaire and is exploited as a ten days' wonder. And then dozens of women find their convictions of mor ality tottering at their foundations. Now, if they thought about it sensi bly, they would reflect that marrying a millionaire carries with it no guar antee of peace of mind or happiness or even of wealth and assured posi tion for all time to come. The mills of the gods in their grind ing are pretty likely to bruise.out the chaff from the wheat and the unde serving woma,n who seems to have managed her life efficiently according to her own likes rjay not have achieved her ends any more than tem porarily. From the practical point of view, nobody's success or failure can be judged till the end of the story remember that. But that is not the point of view to take. The thing that matters is that a girl who has the instincts of fineness in her nature simply cannot root them up without tearing the most vital thing out of her life. A hard, cold unprincipled man or woman may break and defy the laws of society and perhaps "get away with it" temporarily. But one has to pay for one's per ceptions. Any human being who has within him or herself a feeling that certain things are fine and certain ignoble must either live up to his own vision of right or sutler tortures. You can compromise with anything in this world but your own nature. That admits of no half measures. To do things of which you are going to be ashamed, things which you know will bring sorrow to those you love, things for which the real penalty lies in your own miserable sense of not having lived up to the best in yourself is to twist and warp your ' life out of all semblance of beauty. In the final analysis there is no happiness where there is no peace of mind. You can't .disapprove of your self and be contented. There lies the real answer to the question, "Does it pay to be good?" To the man or woman who has a standard of what is good, the price he must nav for deviation from that standard is extortionate, s You simply dare not do evil if you know good: for, however the world judges you, you will have to go about with the acid of your own judgment of yourself eating into and corroding everything in your nature. It simply doesn't pay to be any thing but good. A I Skinners THE HIGHECT QUALITY MACARONI 36 Age Rtdpe Book fnt JKIKNERMFG.CO. OMAHA.

Haw to Judge a Woman by Her Hair There are always the well known and semi-humorous methods, such as saying brunettes are quick-tempered. But there is real common sense in just noticing whether the hair is well kept to Judge a woman's neatness. If you are one of the few who try to make the most of your hair, remember that it is not advisable to wash the hair with any cleanser made for all pur poses, but always use some good preparation, made expressly for sham pooing. You can enjoy the very best by getting some canthrox from your druggist and dissolving a teaspoonfut in cup of hot water when your sham poo is all ready. After its use the hair dries rapidly with uniform color. Dan druff, excess oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely disappear. Your hair will be so fluffy that it will look much heavier than it is. Its luster and soft ness will also delight you, while the stimulated scalp gains the health which insures hair growth. Adv. Ard You Fat?
