How ever did you manage it?vl gasped admiringly, turning to Lil lian from my rapt contemplation of thtf RO'.vn up.on the bed, "My early training as a uurRlar," Lillian answered carelessly. ."Vou an have me arrested if you life for felonious entry into vour suitcase - - ..11 . I... in my nousc in inwii tor an accessories. The dress 1 took from its hanger in tny closet, where you had hung it." , "But you have thought of every thing." t said, as 1 hastily laved my face and hands at the old-fashioned i stationary washstand in my father's j room. "And voir had so little time J this morning." i "You can do wonders if you travel i .in a taxi aud keep it wafting at the door while you pack, Lillian said, smiling. "I kuow of no preater in centive to haste than the conscious ness of a taxi meter clicking merrily away. You see, I did all my order ing first, then while the things were hein. wiapped you kuow how Ions they arc I dashed out. and com mandeered a taxi, flew up to the apartment, impressed Hetty into serviceshe's a whirlwind and has often helped nie pack and was back in plenty of time to get my hundlcs and. whirl off to the train again. Here let me help you fast en that." 1 had slipped into the fresh blouse she had thoughtfully brought me, but my fingers were clumsy with iLfrvousiiess. As she brought the iwactory fastenings into order she smiled down reassuringly Wine. . Unspoken Warnings. "Steady, girl!" she said softly. "Everything- going to be all right, Katie, Jim, the house, your hus- uaiui, and me dinner lonignu in cidentally, let me tell you not one - of them can hold a candle to you tonight if you look the way you do now. You are the prettiest thing, Madge! You have all the cards in your hands. Now run along and meet the Dicky-bird. I'll take these things back tA Mrs. Durkcc. 1 have no desire to be present when he first views the debris below. There'll he an ascension worth w-atrhtncV. lmt lurkilv he takes it all out in altitude flying, and wlierf he conies to earth again tie's peaceful as a summer morning." She kjssed me hurriedly, and hastened away, while J, iir my turn hastening downstairs and to my waiting car in the driveway, yaid tribute for the 1,000th time toher tact and thoughtfulness. She not only had saved me from humilia tion at the . evening; dinner, but I knew that she had warned me as openly as she daiv to pay no at tention to whatever vagaries of temper Dicky might exhibit. I glanced at my watch as 1 stepped info my car; ' Thanks to Lil lian's help, I had ample time to make trie train, and l looKea arouna for some trace of Jim, thinking that I might have time to explain the selling of the house to him, and thus ward off the effect of Katie's certain hysterical appeal to him. Mrs. Durkee's Request; But, even as I saw Jim's familiar limping figure, appear ar the rear of the house, and prepared to get out of the car, I saw Katie's figure fly down the rear steps and into Jim's arms. Her hair wa dishevelled, her whole appearance spelled hys teria. I heard her broken sobbing call of "Oh. Jeem! Jeem!" and with a little shiver of apprehension I got hack into my seat again and started the car. There was no lise trying to talk with Jim now. That nmst Wait until much later.. My clutch did not work smoothly, and I threw the gears into 'neutral again. As I did so, I heard little Mrs. Durkee call a wild halloo, and I leaned out of( the side of , the car to eee what she wanted. "Where are you going?" she called, as she ran across the lawn ; toward the car, "Down to meet Dicky,'.' I an swered, reassuringly. "Every piece is done, Lillian is bringing them over." ' "Ours are almost done, too," she taid. "Lillian and I will hang them while you are gone. But there arc some things I've got to have at the stores. Euith has the list, and she'll go with you. You can order the -.flowers, also, and bring them back with you if you will masses of pink roses. You don't mind Edith's going, do you?" . t VYa I mistaken, or . was there thc hint of malicious ''mischief in the little woman's eyes? Dear as she is. she can be distinctly catty on occasion. I wonder if she guessed 'how very much 1 did mind Edith Fairfax's presence on this trip to meet Dicky, especially as I had no idea what his mood would be when he greeted me. But my response. I flatter' myself, was as hearty as any one could make. "Mind!" I said, as if amazed be yond measure. "Are you getting foolish in your old age? But tell Edith to hurry. I've only a few minutes to make Dicky's train." "Here she comes now." Mrs. Dur kce responded, and as I turned my eyes to the graceful, slender figure coming toward me across the lawn I saw that I was not the only one who had donned a fresh blouse in .Dicky's honor. , ' (Continued, Tomorrow.)

The Egyptians and Greeks probably used them, though none of their specimens have been pre served. The oldest almanac now ex tant js in manuscript of the 13th century.

With her eyes like velvet moonsr A timid mouse in a pea-green bloifsc And cute little pantaloons. With her piquant face afld her dainty grace, And her pretty, mincing gait, ' She was like the maids in the pastel shades That you sec on a willow plate. But the English belles in the great hotels Had gleaming V-shaped throats! And a shining sheen of hose between Their shoe's and petticoats. And that is why, as she passed them by, That her heart went pit-a-pat. And she thought. "Dear me! If Pee-Chee-Lee Could just have clothes like that!" So she bent her head over silk and thread ' And made. herself a gown, With a skirt as brief as a widow's grief And the neck cut 'way. 'way down. " And forth she went, with a glad content In her glowing velvet eye. To knock 'em" cold with her vesture bold On Main street, in Shanghai. But alas! her dad got plenty mad, When, he saw her clothes so grand. And he made quite free to spank Pee-Chee With a stern parental haitd. So she burned the gown like she saw downtown When she dined at the gteat hotel, A'nd her knees don't show when the simoons blow. And perhaps it s just as well!

George Matthew Adamsj Romance in Origin Of Superstitions By H. I. KING. ' Wrong Side Out. " If you accidentally put on any un dergarment one worn next to the skin "wrong side .out,", it is an omen of good luck. Do not change it back upon discovering the mis take for that would bring bad luck. A publication of the American Folk lore society sayst "This direction is intuitively followed by many .peo ple who are entirely free from cou scious ' superstitions." Very . old people will tell you that when they were children old people used . to say that under garments worn wrong side out "kept ths witcljes away." . This "wrong side out" supersti tion is a survival of the practices by which ourt barbarian ancestors I W&JNi&Efc VhfcOvU'S KETEVfct Than Poetry MONTAGUE sought to "fool" the evil spirits with which they peopled the unseen world about them. Joined td that was the idea of the evil eye. By wearing Jnis garments inside out a man dis guised himself as' it were and the evil spirit particularly bent upon do ing him harm failed to recognize him and passed him by. Also the evil eye would be' attracted by the singularity of a garment worn wrong side out and let its baleful glance rest .upon that instead of upon its wearer. In the far-off times when the superstition had its birth man, as a rule, wore only one garment, tjiat next his skill. The progress of civilization, has increased the lay ers hi clothing .iffon a man but the primal superstition still clings to the primal 'garment to which it first at tached itself and which has now evolved into underclothing.

Just as Mr. Coyote 'had promised, he was on hand the j next night to "help" Benny Badger catch Ground Squirrels, i Benny regarded Mr. Coyote some- "' 'If poull let me go ri do amrthintf . , you say." he promised w hat coldly, as the two met in .the I moonlight. . "How's your sore paw?" he1 asked j Mr. Coyote. Now, Mr. Coyote had just come 1 trotting up without the least sign of 'lameness. But all at once he began to limp. ' My poor paw s no better, he told Benny, as a look of pain crossed his jfacc. "Let me see it!" Benny said. And Mr. 'Coyote promptly held out one of his paws. . Benny Badger snorted. He seemed quite disgusted. . "That is not the same paw you showed me last night," he cried. . "My mistake I" said Mr. Coyote Are Presidents Inaugurated on March 4? In spite of the legend which states that cettain members of the conti nental congress took the trouble to scrutinize a calendar covering the entire 19th century, and selected as inauguration day, the day which fell less frequently on Sunday every fourth year, the facts in the case arc quite differpnt. In the first place, the continental congress 'appointed the fifst Wednesday in January, 1789, as the day on which the people should choose their electors. The first : Wednesday in February was then named as the day on which electors should choose a president, and the first Wednesday in March the government was to go into oper ation under the new constitution. The last named day. in 1789. fell on March 4 hence the fourth of March, following the election' of a president, is the day appointed for his inauguration. By the Act of 1792 it was provided that the presi dental term of four years should commence on this date, and by the amendment to the constitution made in 1804, if the house of representa tives did . not .elect a president by March 4, the vice president was to become president. March 4th ;s thus virtually made, by the constitu tion as well as by statute, the day when a new presidential term be gins. v (Copyright, 19D1, tVhfeler Syndicate, Ino.l rv- -TTrr- ,- ; g , j CHAPTER X. i " ' 1 . 1 WHY- THYSELF 1 ( nrc uiueu ) t-J twe how window It i m if, Ul ill l mi m TAt& OF SCOTT BAILEY easily. And he pulled back that paw and thrust forth another. v Benny Badger bent over it for a moment. . s "It looks all right," he grumbled. "I can't help that." Mr. Coyote snarled. "It couldn't hurt me any mofc, no matter what happened to it." To Mr. Coyote's surprise, Benny Badger seized his paw in his power ful jaws and held it in a visclike gqip. . "Ouch!" -Mr. Coyote wailed, pull ing back quickly: i 'move which only caused him greater pain. "Your paw doesn't feel any worse, does it?" Benny Badger asked him as well as he could, with his mouth so full. . . . , . "Yes, it does!" Mr. Coyote howled. "Then you" must have been mis taken when you , said what you did only a . moment ago," Benny told him. .. ' "I must have been," Mr. Coyote admitted 'Let me go begged But Benny Badger' j closed the tighter. jaws only "I'll bite you if you , don't stop that!" Mr. Coyote threatened. "My skin ' is rery, very tough," Benny said. "And I can hurt you much more than this if I want to." Mr. Coyote believed what Benny told him. So he made- no more threats, but began to whine piteously. "If you'll let me go I'll lo any thing you say," he promised. "Will you agree to keep away from me?" Benny Badger askedhim. "Yes! Yes!" Mr.: Coyote cried. "I promise!" "Good !" said Benny Badger. "I i don't need your 'help,' as you call .it, any longer. . And if you ever come near me again when I'm hunting for Ground Squirrels, I'll- " Benny Badger never finished what he was saying, because he let go of Mr. Coyote just then. And the mo ment Mr. Coyote felt himself free he leaped away and tore, off on three legs as if he were in a terrible hurry to get somewhere else. "Much -help I?d ever get from him" Benny Eadgcr grumbled to himself. "He's too lazy to dig. But he isn't too lazy to- grab' the Ground Squirrels that somebody else drives' out for him."

You find-it .is easy to get into tin habit of leaving a lot of work until Sunday, which, by, a liti-le planning, might be caught- iip with during the week. - As time goes, o'l this practice re quires more of your time on Sunday, and it is possible that yuu uow do not look at Sunday as a day to go to church, but a day to get a lot of odd jobs done. This feeling is not right, and you do not get out of the day what you were intended to git when one day in seven was made for rest and wor ship. Quite aside from the religious as pect, one day in seven is needed to keep the general health and energy what it should he- at its best. But there is" more to it than mere rest for . body ' There should he rest for, the mind aud the heart there. should be a refreshing' of-the soul, and churches were built for that purpose. t (But to return 10 that work' which keeps yon at, home Sunday, could you not plan to, get it divided up in periods during fhe week and make it a habit of no work pn Sunday?
