The Younger Set. (Continued from page ) "Please sit here," she said "hero where I've been sitting." He did so, muttering: "What a nul tance! It will stop In a second. You needn't remain here with mc, yon know. Go In. It Is simply glorious." "I've been In. I was drying my hair." He glanced up, smiling; then, as the wet kerchief against his forehead red- dened, he started to rise, but she took it from his fingers, hastened to the water's edge, rinsed it and brought It back cold and wet. "Plea pc stt perfectly still," she said. "A girl likes to do this sort of thing for n man." "If I'd known that," he laughed, "I'd have had It happen' frequently." She only shook her head, watching him unsmiling. But the pulse In her had become very quiet again. "It's no end of fun In that canoe," he observed. "Gladys Orchil and I work .It beautlf uUy." "I saw you did," she nodded. "Oh! Where were you? Why didn't you come?" "I don't know. Gladys called you. I was waiting for you-expcctlng you. ' Then Gladys called you." . "I didn't see you," he said. "I didn't call you," she observed se renely, and after a moment she added, "Do you see only those who hall you. Captain Selwyn?" - lie laughed. "In this life's cruise a good sailor always answers a friendly hall." "So do I," she said. "Please hall me after this because I don't care to take the initiative. If you neglect to do it, don't count on my hailing you any more." The stain spread on the kerchief. Once more she went to the water's edge, rinsed It and returned with It. "I think it has almost stopped bleed ing," she remarked as he laid the cloth against his forehead. "You frightened mc. Captain Selwyn. I am not easily frightened." "I know It." "Did you know I was frightened?" "Of course I did." . "Oh," she said, vexed, "how could .you know It? I didn't do anything -fsllly, did I?" "No; you very sensibly called me Philip. That's how I knew yon were frightened." A slow, bright color stained face and neck. "So I was silly, after all," she said, biting at her under Hp and trying to meet his humorous gray eyes with un concern. But her face was burning now, and, aware of It, she turned her .gaze resolutely on the sea. Also, to her further annoyance, her heart awoke, beating unwarrantably, absurdly, until the dreadful Idea seized her that he could hear it. Disconcerted, she stood up a straight, youthful figure against the sea. The wind, blowing her di sheveled hair across her cheeks and shoulders, fluttered her clinging skirts as she rested both hands on her hips and slowly walked toward the water's edge. "Shall we swim?" he asked her. She half turned nnd looked around and down at him. "I'm all right. It's stopped bleeding. Shall we?' he Inquired, looking at her. "You've got to wash your hair again anyhow." She said, feeling suddenly stupid and childish and knowing she was speak ing stupidly: ''Would you not rather Join Gladys ngaln? I thought that that"- "ThotigUt what?" "Nothing," sho said, furious at her self. "I nm going to the showers. Goodby." "Goodby," he said, troubled. "Un less we walk to the pavilion to gether" "But you are going in again are you not?" "Not unless you do." "W-what have I to do with It, Cap tain Selwyn?" "It's n big ocean and rather lonely without you," he said so seriously that sho looked around again nnd laughed. "It's full of pretty girls Just now. Plunge In, my melancholy friend. The whole ocean Is n dream of fair women today." '"If they be not fair to me, what care I how fair they be?'" he para phrased, springing to his feet and keeping step beside her. "Really, that won't do," she said. "Much moonlight and Gladys and the Minster twins couvlct you. Do you remember that I told you one day In early summer that Sheila and Dor othy and Gladys would mark you for their own? Oh, my Inconstant courtier, they nro yonder! And I absolve you. Adieu!" "Do you remember what I told you one day in early summer?" ho re turned coolly. "Don't talk this way!" she sold, ex asperated under a rush of sensations utterly Incomprehensible stinging, confused emotions that beat chaotic time to the clamor of her pulses. "Why d-do you speak of such things?" she repeated, with a fierce little In drawn breath. "Why do you when you know when I said explained everything?" Sho looked at him fear fully. "You are somehow spoiling our friendship," she said. "And I don't exactly know' how you aro doing it, but something of tho comfort of It is being taken away from me, and don't, don't, don't do It!" Sho covored her eyes with her clinch d hands for a moment, motionless; then her arms dropped, and sho turn ed sharply, with a gesture which left bun alono there, and walked rapiniy across the beach to the pavilion.

Hopes to Hold Next Coru vention In Continental Hall. Memorial Continental ball, which the Daughters of the American Devo lution began to plan' and work for eighteen years ago, when the society was formed, will be finished In April. Opposite the public park known as the White House lot. In Washington. It stands, couth of the Corcoran Art gal lery and not far from the historic mall and the Washington monument. It Is said to be the greatest memorial building ever erected by women. It Is of marble, colonial in style. Of course, and facing the new bureau of American republics. On the south side arc thirteen fluted monolithic shafts rising In n semicircle to the roof. a perpetual memorial to the thirteen original colonies. The broad flight of steps which leads to the entrance is flanked on cither side by three massive columns. On the north Is a brond marble terrace. The daughters have worked bard to rollcct the money for this building. D. A. n. MEMORIAL OOHTINENTAIi HALL. More than $300,000 in hard cash has been raised in the eighteen years sluce the project was formed. Over $100,000 was raised during the last three years. By a resolution of the Continental Con gress of the Daughters of the Ameri can Revolution a loan of $200,000 was negotiated, and, unless something un expected happens to prevent, the so ciety will meet in April In a completed building. That meeting will mark the completion of the second term of Mrs. Donald McLean's presidency of the national society and the fulfillment of her ardent work for Continental, hall. The auditorium of the hall will seat about 2,000 persons. Here the annual congress of the Daughters will con vene. Besides, it is hoped that the place will become a center for musical, literary and educational interests in Washington. The building will have a fireproof museum and a library. His toric bits of marble and wood will be wrought into the walls. The cost of the ground nnd building when com pleted will be about $500,000. Besides the auditorium, museum and library, there will be a board room, dining room, children's room, committee rooms, kitchen, serving rooms, store rooms, etc. Facial Massage. Persons who declare that facial mas sage harms the muscles and tissues fall to understand the method of op eration, which Is to stimulate the In finite number of fibers nnd tiny mus cles beneath the sklu. Unless they are strengthened In this fashion they be come flabby with weakness of age, Just as all muscles are affected when a woman Is no longer young. Tho pur pose of facial massage is to prevent sagging, but unless It Is properly done it damages the skin by stretching it. Continued rubbing over .and over the surface may stretch the 'flesh just as rubbing over the scalp will tangle the hair. Scalp massage consists in keep ing the fingers stationary and moving the scalp over the skull, not the hair over the scalp. In precisely the same way the skin of the face should be held firm while tissues are exercised. This consists merely In holding the fingers stationary during the treat ment, bending them at the first joint When one spot has been done the fin gers are lifted and placed In another, repeating this all over tho face. To let the fingers slide around accom plishes nothing beyond the likelihood of stretching the skin. After any mas sage astringents should be considered a necessary application, for by the use of one any chance of causing flue sur face wrinkles Is eliminated, nnd the complexion Is given added tone and firmness. Cold water Is an excellent tonic, but It must be cold and used plentifully. Other nstrlugcnts, such as alcoholic preparations, in tho way of toilet wa ters are good, nnd to get the most ben efit for the smallest price one of thes may be patted over the skin nfter a good application with wnter. A weak solution of spirits of camphor Is ben eficial, and camphor water Is even bet ter. Tlucture of benzoin is another of which so small a quantity Is required that the cost Is slight. Twelve drops In an ordinary basin of water Is quite enough. An ounce of tho tincture of benzoin to half a pint of puro alcohol Is ono of the best astringent applica tions that can be made, using the liquid not oftcner than twice a day, letting It dry on the skin. Facial massage should never bo given until the skin has been well soaked In hot water. So thorough should be tho preliminary bath that all tho fine pores nro opened and the skin softened. This makes tbo rub bing far moro efficacious and the appli cation of an nstrlngont more than ever necessary.

BAKROW, Chulhun. ti T Aw Osrrapondant Ino Tot Slate Otisnfft A $16,000 GRANGE HALL. A Model of Its Kind Modern and Up to Data In Every Particular. Palmyra grange of New York state has recently dedicated a new grange home which has been pronounced the handsomest building of Its sort in the state. The building, for which ground was broken June 8, Is built on the clubhouse style, at a total cost expense of $10,000. It is a two story structure of pressed brick and tile, with a large basement of concreto and tile. In the basement and other parts of the build ing girders are used for supports, thus Jolng away with posts and eliminat ing nil obstructions. In the basement is the dining room, which is 57 by 33 feet, without post or instruction, nnd is thoroughly modern In its furnishings and very pleasing In Jecoratlve design. The kitchen and serving room Is eq:ped with sinks, draining boards and every convenience for serving lunches or banquets. In the basement are a wide entrance hali nnd the furnace and coal roomB. The second floor contains the assem bly room, 58 by 33 feet In this room is a stage, 25 by 12 feet, which is ad mirably adapted to grange purposes or entertainments. Bay windows, 14 by 8 feet, supply plenty of light. The celling In this hall Is of steel. At each side of the reception hall are ante rooms with modern equipment. At the main entrance the vestibule is floored with mosaic tile work. In addition to Ibis reception hall, there is a porte co chere entrance on the north. Two fire escapes leading from the main assem bly room afford ample means of exit in case of emergency. THE GREEN MOUNTAIN STATE. Vermont State Grange Elects C. F. Smith of Morriiville Master. The thirty-seventh annual session of the Vermont state grange was held at Burlington. There were about 800 present, representing a total member ship of 10,200 In 180 granges. The state master reported sixty granges organized during his term of office. He approved the holding of grange fairs If they be started on not too large a scale. He thought that many of the agricultural societies had lost prestige and failed to become educational o r even entertaining by trying to do too much, and they had to re sort to cheap midways and vaudeville shows In order to make the fair a finan cial success. There was a warm contest over the election of n new state master. Thepres- o. r. smith. ent master, G. W. Pierce of Brattleboro, was re-elected, but declined to serve because of Illness In his family. C. P. Smith of Morrls- Hie was then chosen. The sixth de gree was conferred on 200 candidates. Resolutions were passed in favor of giving the state cattle commission power to compel owners to have their cattle tested with tuberculin where marked cases occur; also one in favor of the bill now before the legislature placing a tax of 5 cents on all ever green trees shipped out of the stnte. Clemeut F. Smith, the new master of the Vermont state grange, Is a promi nent citizen of Morrlsvllle and ono of the most progressive farmers In the state. Mr. Smith has not missed a meeting since he became a member of the Order. He was president of the State Dairyman's association for two terms. To him the agricultural Inter ests of the state arc largely Indebted for Merrill hall. This is ono of the buildings at the college at Burlington, and It was erected in memory of Sen ator Merrill, "father of the land grant college act." Mr. Smith represented his town In the legislature In 1804, served on tho committee on agricul ture and on a special committee on tuberculosis, on which committee he performed valuable service. Tho New York Plan. In New York tho delegates to the stnte grange nro elected on the basis of ono delegate at large for each county without regard to any numerical basis of membership. Then there may bo elected one delegate for every 400 members whoso dues are paid to the state grange, and after nil such allot ments there may be elected one dele gate for n fraction beyond exceeding 200, nnd If there be but 200 members In said county after the election of the delegate for tho county that number shall bo entitled to a delegate, pro vided that each alternate delegate shall bo a matron and further pro vided that all fourth degree members In good -standing will be entitled on attendance at the stato grange to re celvo the fifth degree. It is further provided, however, that Pomona granges may elect each one delegate to tho state grange, but no county in which a Pomona grange may be situ atcd shnll be entitled to a delegate at large for such county. Fourth degree members in good standing are eligible as delegates. Lectures of subordinate granges will find tho articles on grange work which appear in this paper helpful to them if carefully perused. Her Extreme Goodness.

FWHE anno Is of the sea afford few Incidents so remarkable, thrill--M, las' nnd significant as the story of the collision between the White Star liner Republic and the Florida Of the Lloyd Itallano lino and the rescue of the passengers nnd crew of the former vessel. Though six lives were lost In consequence of one ship crashing Into the other In tho fog off the Nantucket shoals, no one was drowned despite the hundreds of hu man beings in peril of such fate, and this outcome was gratifying proof that CAPTAIN WILLIAM I. BBALBY OF TUB RE PUBLIC two of the most important inventions of tho age have greatly reduced the danger to human life in travel upon the sea, for it was because the Repub lic was equipped with the Marconi system of wireless telegraphy and with submarine signaling apparatus that aid was summoned in time to prevent a great disaster. The submarine signaling system is the result of an idea suggested to Pro fessor Ellsha Gray by Arthur J. Mun dy of Boston. After the death of Gray Mr. Mundy carried on experiments in this direction and added numerous In ventions of his own, thus perfecting the system. Tbe Idea came to Mr, Mundy from recollection of the sim ple experiment often made by boys of striking two stones together under the water when swimming and listen lng to the sound at some distance. He knew that water was an excellent conductor of sound, and the thought occurred to him that some system might be devised which would enable ships at sea In a fog to signal each other or to learn of their nearuess to dangerous points of the shore. Pro fessor Gray and Mr. Mundy conducted experiments near Gloucester about nine years ago In which a bell weigh' lng 800 pounds was used and which. THE REPUBLIC SINKING. being rung uiider tho water by -o strong magnetic current moving the hammer, gave forth such a volume ol sound as to be heard at a distance ol fourteen miles. Subsequent Improve ments made It possible to send the sound n much grenter distance. The system proved such a success that the leading ocean steamship lines placed the apparatus on'thelr vessels several years ago. It has been applied also In connection with naval vessels, espcclnlly for the purpose of detecting tho approach of torpedo boats. On merchant vessels by placing transmit ters on both sides of the ship It hart been possible to detect not only tho direction but the approximate distance and character of the sounds. Receiv ers nro now located In the pilothouse of a ship, and In the hold is placed the transmitter case, where It Is pro tected froi the water and tho possi bility of ni-cldent. Tbe signal bell Is usually located on tbe side of tho ship. The courage of Captain Sealby and members of his crew In staying on board tbe Republic as long as a chance of saving her remained excited much admiration. Not until tbo Republic began to settle preparatory to taking her final plunge beneath the waves did her captain leave his post. He was al most too lato to save his life and had tc climb to tbe top of n mast as the steamer settled and jump Into tu completing bis apprenticeship he serv ed as second and first mato In sailing ships and at an early ago took com mand of the first Oceanic, running be tween San Francisco, Honolulu nnd Yokohama. Whllo In command of tbo Coptic he was the first to take tho news to Honolulu that tho Hawaiian Islands had been annexed to tbe Unit ed StatCB. Ho was honored by a ban quet and presented with a loving cup by the citizens of Honolulu. Next to Captain Sealby perhaps the greatest hero of tho Republic disaster was the wireless operator of the ship, Jack Blnns, who was able to keep on sending signals and bringing other ships to tbe rescue without re- 1 '4 I bibiiibsssII . - . . gnrd to his own peril.

JACK SINKS, WIRELESS OPERATOR OF TOT REPUBLIC wall of the wireless station, the shock of the collision put out of commissloa the dynamo which supplied the power Blnns bad tfsed for the wireless. The lights in his station also went out at once. Blnns sat In the darkness, with the roof and one wall of the station gone, waiting for orders. After a few minutes had passed and Captain Sealby had realized the ex tremity of his peril he told Blnns to send out his widespread call for help, the now famous signal O Q D. To operate the wireless at all Blnns bad to rig up cumulators, and these stor age battery substitutes for the dy namic power furnished by the ship had only a short life. In sendlngut his call he notified all those that received it that whllo ho would "listen In" on all wireless mes sages he could not attempt to send more than were absolutely necessary. For more than ten hours Blnns sat in the wrecked wireless station with a blanket tied over him as a roof and with the fog banked all about him be fore he thought of food. After getting some refreshment he resumed his vigil with the receivers of the wireless apparatus clamped over his ears. He did not take off this "harness" until ordered to leave the ship.
