ELLEN ADAIR'S ADVENTURES
Her New Friend Comes to Call Upon Her and the Glamour
Deepens in a Moving-Picture Show.
XXVI.
The rest of tho ovonltig passed moat
happily. When I said Rood night to my
hostess, she Invited me most cordially
, to come back again. We really had
pent n delightful evening, and t thanked
"her for 't
"You certainly have made a great lm
prcfslon on mv brother's friend. Oeorge
Dennlston," she snld, lnilghlng. "Ho
In a perfectly drlUntful fellow and hits
traveled everywhere, t have never yet
known him take such a sudden Interest
In any Rlrl before. Ho rather dislikes
it omen as a Rcneial rule, I think, ltut
you have made a tremendous lilt with
htm. 1 want Just to tell you one thing,
however, before any otie else does oh.
Is that you, Mr. Dennlston? You wanted
to take Miss Adair home? Why, cer
tainly, hcte she Is!"
In a fcut- minutes he and I were walk
ing1 along the street together. "I have
the oddest feellnR about you, little Eng
llsh Rlrl," he said quite suddenly, "and
It is this that I have met you once be
fore. I nould even ro fuither nnd say
that 1 have known you for a very long
time."
"I am afraid that you nre thinking
of tho old Hindu belief," I answered.
"You know what that Is, don't you?"
"Why, yes," said he. "According to
thRt, you and 1 knew each other very
intimately In another world. No, don't
laugh. It Is perfectly probable, and
I am rather Interested In that particular
sort of Investigation. But I have literally
seen your face before."
"Perhaps you hae seen me on the
street?" t ventured.
"No, let me think. It was nearly a year
ago that I saw you. Yes, t remember
now! How very strange. So you were
the Rlrl!"
"But I have only been In America for
a short time," I said, perplexed.
"And I have not been out of America
for two years." replied he, gn2lng down
at me In a fashion that made me feel
most embarrassed. "Wt I have seen
you quite a year ago, and liked you most
tremendously."
I felt perfectly mystified. "I havo
wanted to meet jou again, so badly, too,"
ho continued, in his low, deep-toned voice.
"I wender If you would allow me to call
upon you tomorrow evening?"
We reached the doorstep ot my lodging
house, and then we paused. "If yon
would like to call, please do." I said, "you
will meat very uninteresting sort of-people
here. But If you don't mind that "
"I don't mind nnythlns so long as you
win allow me to come round and sec
you," he replied earnestly.
I felt that odd confusion come upon me
once again, so I held out my hand.
"Good night, and very many thanks
for bringing me home," I murmured.
'Until tomorrow, au revolr then, pretty
JIIss Adair." said he. nnd raised his hat
He stood bare-headed for a moment, while
he held my hand "I think I hope tint
we are going to be friends," he said,
then walked away.
I wonder why I slept so happily that
night, and why such pleasant dreams
then came to me?
The following evening Mr. Dennlston
arrived. His call was really timed un
fortunately. The little mald-of-all-work
WOMEN OF PARIS
KNIT FOR TROOPS
Abandon Fashion Parade To Aid
Soldiers at Front
PARIS, Oct. 43.
In all Parisian metamorphoses brought
about by the war no greater change la
noticeable than that which has occurred
In the last few days in the city's most
beautiful thoroughfare, the Avenue des
Champs Elysees. While khaki has taken
the place of silks nnd satins at Maxim's,
that restaurant now being patronized bv
officers of the Headquarters StafT Instead
of by chorus girls, nnd while the Mont
jnartre resorts have long since closed,
such changes were to be expected when
the entire nation shouldered arms.
But the change In the Champs Elysees
was slower, more indefinite, subtle and
surprising.
This street, where the fashionable set
were rivals In glorious display, contin
ues to be the parade ground of the city.
But Instead of a procession of motors
containing dainty Parlslennen wrapped
In costly furs and moving slowly, so
that the world afoot might envy and
admire, there Is now another but swift
procession of motor vehicles. They fly
two kinds of flags one the pennant of
the service mllitalre. the other the Red
Cross. As the majority of the cars
requisitioned once formed a part of that
ante-bellum procession, the change Is not
o noticeable.
At first the fashionable folk still oc
cupied chairs under the trees lining the
walk, always In beautiful toilets last
year's styles not nearly worn out. But
with the first breath of real autumn
during tho last week they found a new
occupation. One can now see them In
scores sitting under tha trees busily bend
Insr over their hands, for they ore knit
ting. All feminine Paris Is knitting, from the
Champs E 1 ysees through the big depart
ment stores, where half the clerks are
thus employed, to the heights of the '
workmen's quarter In Belleville. Shirts,
socks and mufflers are being prepared
for the soldiers In the trenches. All the I
output when delivered at headquarters Is
promised to be delivered to the regi
ments within the next J4 hours.

hour, and 1 felt quite unhappy all the
time. Thr Spinner and the Jrvlal Man

1 felt lmmnply relieved when nt
length tho siiggentlnn was ninde thi.t
wo should go out to see a movlng-plcturc
pla.x. "A splendid piece l helm; shown
In a plnre on Market street," Mid Mr.
Dennlstoii "I wonder If you would care
an
to come nllh me now and see It?"
I know that I nceepted the Invitation
with most llatleiliig nlneilty. nnd that
for doing n New tlnglnnd's Spinster
censured mc nt onee. I fear she did
not confine het criticism to thoughts.
for when 1 returned with hat nnd coat
on. the atmosphere necmed oddly strained
and Mr. Dennlston wore a vaguely
nmilsed itlr.
"Your friend seems to possess some
what nnthuiitoil Ideas on tho chaperon
ing of girls." was all ho said when we
had started.
The atmosphere of n moving picture
lhp.it r senna strangely conducive to con
fidence.". In the dim. slmdowj light, nnd
under cover of the music, one ran talk so
easily and become so friendly.
Wc must have sat there for two hours
nt least, my new-found friend and I. On
every sort ot topic we conversed. Yet
he quite refused to tell me where he
had recti me before.
"I ant planning a little surprise for
you," he snld, In rather a serious voice.
"A week from now I am going to give a
small dinner parly, our friend of last
night's entertainment I1I be there, nnd I
am particularly anxious that you should
join us nil."
He told me a great deal about himself.
He had been seven times to llurope, nml
knew London well, nnd Pnrls seemed an
old familiar tale to him.
"Some day I wnnt so much to visit
Siism, where nu us. d to live." he said
"I think It must he Just hh sweet nnd
fresh nnd pretty ns yourself!"
I'ntll the present time it never has oc
curred to me to think that I nm pretty
In the least. Hut every woman Is the
snme nt heart. All like to think thev
are what they are not In tlip matter of
looks. Men casll art: deceived on other
things. I think that a woman's most
Milneinble point Is on the question of
her appearance. I felt so Rlad, so very
glad that he considered me pretty.
It wns half past ten before I reached
the lodging house. As I crossed the hall
on my way upstairs there was a sudden
flutter of skirts nnd out darted the New
England Spinster.
"Miss Adnlr," she panted, with the light
of battle In her eye. "I want to give .you
Jut a word of warning! I have been
making Inquiries about this new friend
of yours, nnd I hear that he Is engaged
to be married to a very pretty girl who
Is quite an heiress. So do not let your
feelings run away with you!"
I did not answer this barbed nrrow,
though It did como as a great surprise.
What did It matter to me after all? I
slowly and thoughtfully wnlked upstairs.
A Word to Miss
"My dear," cried the happily married
girl to Miss Newly-Engaged the other
evening, as they sat together on the
porch of the former's town home, "do
let me give you a Httlo advice, in case
you should fall Into some of the mis
haps I once did. I am so glad to hear
that you have got engaged to Jim he Is
almost the best fellow In the world, next
to my Jack and I want you to be very
happy."
"What are those mysterious mishaps
you are referring to?" said Miss Newly
Engaged in an Interested tone.
"Why, my own, of course," cried the
Married Girl. "Tho mistakes I made
.hen I was first engaged! I was very
fcollsh then, and If Jack hadn't been the
dearest fellow In th world, and the
bst-tempered. I beliove I should have
ruined him and our happiness together."
"Do tell me all about it," said Miss
Newly-Engaged eagerly.
"I wns ridiculously in love with him, of
course," said the Married Girl, smiling
remlniacently, while she rocked gently to
and fro, "and did my very best to spoil
him In every way. Jack has five sisters,
you know, and I was Insanely JealouB If
he ever showed any Inclination to take
them anywhere. They are really dear
girls, and it was perfectly ridiculous of
me to adopt that attitude."
"Tou were an only child, weren t you?"
said the other Inquiringly.
"Indeed 1 was, to my misfortune and
sorrow," cried the Happily Married Girl,
"ntherwlBe I should not have been so
foolish. I used to get so dreadfully upset
If Jack's mother ever tried to give mo
a little well-meant advice, too I would
carry It all to him, until poor old Jaclt
would grow quite punled and confused.

Accompanying the pn nphlet Is a strong
plea that the Tlonrd of Education continue
the work of examining the children at an
estlm'nttd cost of M1M a ear. The ex
penses of the examination In .Itily and
August were paid by the Child Labor As

sion of hygiene, of the Child Labor As
sociation, and s-lx physicians from the
division of medical Inspection of public

But one-fourth of the 3931 children ex

the most numerous rcnsonB for refusal of

THE WAY TO CLEAN SILVER
To clean silver, put a quantity of sour
milk In a shallow pan and placo the ar
ticles In the milk, letting them remain
until they become bright. Afterward,
wash them In warm water which contains
a few drops of ammonia, and your silver
will be bright nnd clean.

"Of course ho wns very much In lova
with you," said Miss Newly-Engaged
sentimentally.
"He was, and Is still, my dear," snld
the Happily Married Girl, cheerfully, "but
I doubt very much If his lo'e would have
stood the test had I not changed my tune
after a few months of engagement."
"Tell me about It please." said the
other eagerly. "You have more experi
ence of men than I have."
"Well, .lack stood my selfishness for a
long time without saying anything, nnd
then one day his Msters gave a luncheon
party. A very pretty, very charmlnff
young girl was there, much younger nnd
prettier than mysrtf. She talked to Jack
the whole time, and he ceemed to be very
much taken up with her. In fact, he did
not appear to have eyes for any one else
In the room. I was Insanely Jealous!"
"What did you do?" aked tho other,
curicuBly.
"Mv dear, I hurried out Into the garden
as soon as I decently could, hid behind
some bushes and cried fcr an hour.
Here my rival, as I thought her, at last
found me. She sat down befllde me quite
concerned. It appeared that she was a
very old friend of the family, and that
all through lunch. Jack dear, simple
hearted old Jack had been singing my
prales to her. My unexpected flight had
surprised every one She, however, wns
the only one who had guessed that all
was not well with me, and had stayed
behind to look for me. Every on else
had Imagined that I had gone home In
a hurrj. She told ma what a, splendid,
luya' lover Jack was, and made me feel
that I was very foolish, and at the same
time the luckiest girl In the whole world I
So I determined to cure my needless
Jealousy then and there, and I succeeded."
"I do not think that I am of a partic
ularly Jealous disposition," said Miss
Newly-Engaged thoughtfully, "but It Is
well to be warned In time!"
HOUSEKEEPING HINTS
A simple and excellent way to remove
mud stains from dress skirts Is to cut a
raw potato In slices and rub It well on
the mrks.
Boiled dancing slippers of light color
can be successfully dyed In Ink. Either
blue or black Ink produces a pretty art
blue shade Ink must be fresh, nnd ap
plied with a small pad of cotton wool.
One application Is sufficlant.
If a tablecloth Is beyond repair, cut It
up Into various sized pieces, hem them
around, and they will be found most use
ful In the kitchen.

True Interviews With Life's Workers
Miss Margaret Slattery, Proinincnt Boston Writer, Suggests a Remedy For
the Troubles Which Perplex the American Girl.
In her plesant hotel sitting room Inst
night, before going forth to address the
groat mass-meeting In tho Y. W. C. A.,
Mis.s Slnttery, associate editor of the
Congregntlonnl Publishing Society. Bos
ton, chatted on tho sublcct that she has
made her life's work.
"I nm tremendously Interested In girls
and all their problems," said she In her
delightful, kindly voice. "I came hero to
Philadelphia so very hurledly today that
I am not quite sure on what exact mh-
Ject I am scheduled to speak
Tin. lllnhts
of n Girl," did you say? Why, yes, that
exactly suits me!"
Miss Slattery leaned back In her chair,
nnd smiled. "You want to know If tho
woman-worker Is the happiest of nil?
Only If she works under really good sani
tary conditions. I think that tho menace
so far as girls nre concerned comes from
two sources. First, It comes from the girls
who havo too ,much to do, who have too
hard work nnd lnsufllclent money; nnd
secondly, from the girl who has too little
to do und too much money. The latter
leads an artificial, abnormal life as much
as the former."
"You think the middle-class girl has
tho best time of It. then?"
"Most certainly I do." said Miss Slat
tery. "She has work to do. enjoys It, and
Is fairly well paid for It, although," smil
ing hopefully, "not as well paid as she
Is going to be!"
"When I began this work," continued
she, "my first lecture waB nbout boys, and
then I wrote 'Girls In Their Teens." In
writing this book, I could ilnd no refer
ences to hlp me on tho subject of girls
and their problems, excepting thote two
magazines, the Delineator nnd the Ladles'
Home Journal, which to some extent
dealt with the topic.
"I havo discovered that the girl problem
Is at bottom the boy problem, too. One
bad girl can easily make, ten bad boys!
Also, wherever tho standards of girlhood
nre high, the boys' standards will be
high, too. I think that very frequently
people get hysterical over present condi
tions, but, of course, we nil know the
menace of the city streets. Just so long
as girls make the city streets their place
of amusement and recreation, so long
will theie be these drendful problems."
"You believe in girls having plenty of
enjoyment?"
"With nil my heart," replied MHs Slat
tery eagerly. "I love to teo girls having
a good time, nnd prettily drebsed, and I
firmly believe that pretty clothes and good
times are the rights of every girl in
America. But I do think there la too
much over-dresslns here! The passion
for clothes among the women of America
Is out of all proportion."
"Do you think that girls' Ideals arc
high at the present day?"
Miss Slattery shook her head. "No, I
am afraid that they nre not." sho said
earnestly. "It seems to me that tho Ameri.
can girl has very low Ideals! She gathers
them from the cheap theatres, the lower
class of moving-picture show, and from
poor novels. I sent out a questionnaire
through the whole country to different
high schools In the form of a list of tha
names of famous women. I asked the
tenchers to glvo this list to all the girls
In the schools, and the latter were to say
what thev knew about each woman The

names I gave wfro: Mary Lyon, Alice

Mai ton, Florence Nightingale, Jane Ad
dams and .Vnud nnllington Booth. The
last name of all wns tho nanio of n poor
young girl who win tho wife of Hurry
Thaw."
"Which woman was most familiar to
them?"
Miss Slnttery ngnln shook her bend.
"Tho shin knew very, very little about
tho first list." she snld, "In fact, nny
answers they did make were crazv!
i-iorencp Nightingale was Invariably put
"""" " " Kieiu singer, ror inMntieo. mil
when It e.ime to Evelyn Nesblt Thaw,
they nil knew nil about her. I think this
shows where nnd how American girlhood
nt present gleans bor Ideals."
"The only lemedy for this stnte of of
fnlrs," continued she, "is lo bo found In
the creation of a new public sentiment.
Law may be cvnded, but nothing can
withstand the force of public sentiment. I
wnnt the rich girl to lvlp tho poor girl,
nnd the factory owner to caio for the
welfare of his employes, and tho people
of America to rouse thcmuelves to tho
assistance nnd help of the30 young girls,
remembering that they nre tho mothers of
the future generation."
What Other Housewives Know
The Care of the Corset
For women of limited means It Is best
to have two or three pairs of Inexpensive
corsets rather than ono expensive pair.
Try to change your corsets every day.
Never wear the snmo pair two days run
ning. Tho corsets that nre not In uso can
be straightened out nnd aired. An ex
pensive corset must be sent to tho clean
ers occasionally, but It is quite possible
to clean a cheap pair at home; of course,
they may not look so well as the one
cleansed by a professional cleaner.
The corset should he stretched on a
board nnd scrubbed with a brush dipped
In fconpy warm water to which a little
borax has been added. Thoy should ho
scrubbed until as much dirt ns possiblo
has been removed, and then they should
be ringed In clear water. Pin the cor
sets out flat on a boaid to dry In the air,
but not in the sun.

THE TREATMENT
OF DAMP HANDS
First Impiesslons are most Important.
In the welcoming of the stranger within
our doors It Is a dreadful thing to greet
hlni with n cold and clammy hand. Such
a greeting; has u damping air nbout It.
Yet the possession of such n hand Is only
too common.
Tho hand Is full of tiny nerves and
muscles, which respond to the call of
any nervous excitement. The lntter gives
rise to a damp anil profuse perspiration
In the h.ind. Another cause of the clammy
hand Is Imperfect circulation, nnd to rem
edy this plenty of exorcise In the open
air should bo taken.
Tho value of nincsage ennnot bo over
estimated In this connection. In con
Junction with a good cold cream, mas
sage will frequently work wonders. To
be of benellt it must bo prnctlced reg
ularly morning and night.
The woailng of nvertlght gloves is an
other fruitful ennse of this unpleasant
complaint. Great earn should he taken
In the buying of gloves, and It Is a good
plan to choose a pair slightly larger than
Is actually necessary.
SPICY SAYINGS
'TIs better to have loved and lost than
to have to stand the costs ot a bleach
of piomlse suit.
Frills nre ngnln coming Into fashion
but only upon the outskirts of society.
In love a woman uses nil her wits and
n man loses them.
Love often tnkes place among the ruins
ot nnother love nffalr.
The Family Pinch
Tho little, mild bald man had settled
down In tho train to rend, nnd, feellmr
drowsv after a trying dny at business,
fell asleep. On the hat rack above wns
a ferocious crab in n bucket, and, reach
ing the edge of the rack. It fell, flight
ing on the little man's shoulder, nnJ
grabbed his ear to steady Itself.
All of the passengers wnltcd expectant
ly for developments, but all thoy hoard
was:
"Let go, Sarah! I tell you I've been at
tho office nil the evening."
spoonfuls of butter, salt, pepper, celery
salt, bread crumbs and an egg.
Ilemove tho skin nnd bones from tho
snlmon. Mix sufficient milk, flour nnd
butter to make a saucerful of thick paste.
To this add salmon, then Beason, nnd
cool. "When tho mixture Is cold, shape It
Into small cylinders, roll it In crumbs,
then roll It In the egg, which has been
lightly beaten. Next roll the little cyl
inders again among the crumbs. After
this fry them In deep fat. The cro
quettes should then turn out dcllclously.
The Making of Corn Fritters
Take six ears of corn. If tho corn Is
green, then It must be grated. If the
corn Is canned, then It must bo very finely
chopped. Use three unbeaten eggs, with
one tnblespoonful of melted butter. To
this add two pounded soda biscuits. Add
salt and pepper, mix all together, and
fry in tho same manner as griddle cakes.
The results should prove excellent.
