The rest of the evening passed most
Iiapplly. When I said good night to my
hostess, she Invited me most rordinlly
to come back again. We really had
pent a delightful evening, and I thanked
Ihor for 't.
"Vou certainty have made .a great tm
prersion on my brother's friend. George
Denniston." she sold, laughing. "He
Is a perfectly .Icllgntful fellpw nnd has
traveled everywhere I have never yet
known him tnke such a sudden Interest

however, before ahy one alse does oh,
is that you. Mr. Denniston? Tou wanted
to take Mls Adair home! Why, cer
tainly, heto she Is'"
In a few minutes he and I were walk-
Ins nlong the street together "I have '
the oddest reeling about you, little Eng
lish girl." he said quite suddenly, "and
It Is this that I have met ou once be
fore. I would even so furthor and say
that I have known you for a very Ions
time."
"I am afraid that you are thinking
of the old Hindu belief," I answered.
"Tou know what that is, don't you?"
"Why, yes." said ho. "According to
that, you and I knew each other very
Intimately in another world. No, don't
laugh. It Is perfectly probable, and
X nra rather Interested In that particular
sort of investigation. But I have literally
Been your face before."
"Perhaps you hate seen me on the
treet?" I ventured.
"No, let me think it was nearly a vear
ago that I saw you Yes. I remember
now! How veTy strange. fo you were
the girl!"
"But I hare ontv been in America for
short time," I said, perplexed.
"And I have not been out of America
for two years." replied he, gnrlng down
nt me In a fashion that mod me feel
most embarrassed "IVt 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."
lie continued, 1n his low, dnep-toned voice.
"I wonder If vou would allow me to call
upon you tomorrow evening?"
We reached th doorstep nf my lodging
house, nnd then we paused. "If you
would like to call, please do." I said, "you
will meot very Uninteresting sort of peo
ple here. But If you don't mind thnt "
"I don't mind nnythlng so long n.s you
will allow me to come round and seo
sou." 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
lor bringing me home," I murmured.
"Until tomorrow, au revoir then, pretty
Miss Adair," said he. nnd raised his hat.
He stood 'barn-headed for a mpment. while
he held my hand. "I think r hope that
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 mo?
The following evening Mr. Denniston
arrived. His call was really timed un
fortunately. The little mald-of-all-work

sole occupants proved to he New Hng

former lady was In coyest mood, while
the latter was most genial. A combina
tion of that sort Is always trying nt the
best of times. It was so In this case.
It Is so hard to talk to any one with
two other people eagerly drinking In

I hate to have an audience of that type.
Mr Dnnlaton staved for nbout nn

I felt Immensely relieved when at
length the suggestion was made that
we should go out to see n movlng-plcture

In a place on Market street." said Mr.
Denniston "I wonder If ou would care
to come with me now and see It?"
I know that I accepted the Invitation
with most flattering nlacrlty, and that
for doing so New Bnglntid's Spinster
censured me at once. I fear she did
not confine her criticism to thoughts,
for when I returned with hat and coat
on. tho atmosphere seemed oddly strained
and Mr. Denniston wore a vnguely
amused ale
"Your friend seems to possess some

We must have sat there for two hours
nt least, my new-found friend and I. On
every sort of topic we conversed. Vet
ho quite refused to tell me where ho
had seen me before
"I nm planning a little surprise for
you." lie said, in rather a serious voice.
"A week from now 1 nm going to give a

He told me n great denl about himself.
He had been seven times to Hurope, nnd
knew London well, nnd Tatls seemed an
old fnmlllnr tale to him.
"Pome day I want so much to visit
Sussex, wliero you lined to live," he said.
"I think It must be Just as sv,eet and
fresh nnd pretty as yourself!"
t'ntll the present time it nover has oc
curred to mo to think that I am pretty
In the least. But every woman 1 tho
same at heart. AU llko to think they
are what they are not In the matter of
lrxilts. Men easily are deceived on other
things. I think that a woman's most
vulnerable point Is on tho question of
her appearance. I felt so glad, so very
glad that ho considered me pretty.
It was half past ten before I reached
tho lodging house. As I crossed tho hall
on my way upstairs there was a midden
flutter of skirts nnd out darted the New
England Spinster.
"Miss Adair," she panted, with tho light
of battle in her eyo, "I want to give you
Just a word of warning' I haic been
making inquiries nbout this new friend
of yours, nnd I hear that he la engaged
to b married to n very pretty girl who
Is quite nn heiress. So do not let your
feelings run away with you!"
I did not answer this barbed arrow,
though It did come ns a great surpriso.
What did it matter to me after all? I
slowly and thoughtfully walked upstairs.
A Word to Miss
"Mv dear," cried the happily married
girl to Miss Newly-Kngngcd the other
evening, ns they sat together on the
porch of the former's town home, "do
let me give yon a little 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 Jnck 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. "The mistakes I made
when I was first engaged! I waa very
foolish then, and if Jack hadn't been tho
dearest fellow In the world, and the
best-tempered. I believe I should have
ruined him and our happiness together."
"Do tell me all about it," said Miss
Newly-Engaged eagerly.
"I was ridiculously in love with him, of
eimrse." said the Married Girl, amillnr
romlnlscently, while she roeked gently to
and fro, "and did my very best to spoil
htm In every way. Jack has flvo sisters,
you know, and I was Insinely Jealous 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 wr an or.ly child, weren't youT"
said the otler Inquiringly.

THE FOOLISH GIRL
WHO WORRIES
Case of Girl Who Always Has a
Grievance Useless Worrying Over
Past Mistakes Unprofitable.
Tire average girl Is much too Inclined
to worry. It Is all so futile and useless,
too, once the deed Is done, and done Ir
revocably. Why worry over pnst mis
takes? The past Is so dreadfully apt to hamper
one's future. This Is n great mistake.
Whoreicr possible a mistake should be
rectified nnd every atonement made, but
beyond that It Is foolish to worry.
One sees on every hand girls worrying
over split milk thnt ran never be gath
ered up again. They nre only wasting
their time and energy that could be bet
ter employed In other wajs.
No human being Is perfect, and we are
all prone to error Thero Is a certnln
type of gltl who must always have some
thing to worry over, or else she Is down
right miserable. She Is very far from
being a pleasant companion. No one
seeks her society, and yet, like the poor,
she Is always with us. She llternlls
finds her happiness In being unhappy
This may sound rather "Irish. ' yet It
Is true.
The gill who Is ambitious nnd strong
minded will spend Just the right propor
tion of her time in remedying past mis
takes, nnd then will turn to a fresh Jnv
determined to make the best of It nnd 1 1
slnrt nil over again. It In a sure sign
of weakness of character to dwell unduly
nnd unprofltably upon past errors of
Judgment.
CHILDREN UNFIT FOR WORK

done at the Bureau of Compulsory Edu

But one-fourth of the 3031 children ex

the most numerous reasons for refusal of

remedied the certificates were granted.

me good."
"Of course he was very much In lovo

sentlmentnlly.
"Ho was, nnd Is still, mv dear," said
the Happily Married Girl, cheerfully, "but
I doubt very much If his love would have

after a few months of engagement.
"Tell me about It please " said the
other eagerly. "Vou have more experi

"Well, Jack stood my selfishness for a
long time without saying nnythlng, and
then one day his tlsters gave a luncheon
party. A very pretty, very charming
young girl was there, much younper and
prettier than myself. She talked to Jack
the whole time, and he seemed to be very
much taken up with her. In fact, he did
not appear to havo eyes for any one else
in the room. I was Insanely Jealous!"
"What did jou do?" naked tho other,

"My dear, I hurried out Into the garden

praises to her. My unexpected flight had

True Interviews With Life's Workers
Miss Margaret Slatlcry, Prominent Boston Writer, Suggests a Remedy For
the Troubles Which Perplex the American Girl.
In her plesant hotel sitting room last
night, before going forth to address tho
great mass-meeting In tho Y. W. C. A.,
Miss Slnttery, associate, editor of tho
Congregational Publishing Society, Bos
ton, chatted on tho subject that.sho has
mndo her Jlfo's work.
"t am tremendously Interested In girls
nnd all their problems," said she In her
delightful, kindly voice. "I enmo hero to
PhllmPJlphla so very hurledly today that
I nm not quite sure on what exact sub
ject I nm scheduled to speak. 'The Bights
of a Girl,' did you sny? Why, yes, that
exactly suits mo I"
Miss Slnttery leaned back in her chulr,
and smiled. "You wnnt to know If tho
woman-worker Is the hnpplcst of all?
Only If she works under really good sani
tary conditions. I think thnt the menace
so fnr ns girls aro concerned comes from
two sources. First, it comes from the girls
who have too much to do, who have too
hard work nnd insufllclent money; nnd
secondly, from the girl who has too little
to do and too much money. Tho latter
leads an artificial, abnormal life as much
as the former,"
"Vou think tho mlddle-clasB gtrl has
the best time of it, then?"
"Most certainly I do," said Miss Slat
tery. "She has work to do, enjoys It, nnd
la fairly well paid for It, although," smil
ing hopefully, "not ns well paid as she
Is going to be!"
"When 1 began this work," continued
she, "my first lecture was nbout boys, and
then I wrote 'Girls in Their Teens.' In
writing this book. I could llnd no refer
ences to help mo on the subject of girls
and their problems, excepting those two
magazines, the Delineator and the Ladies'
Hume Journal, which to some extent
dealt with the topic.
"I have discovered that tho girl problem
Is at bottom the boy problem, too. One
bad girl can easily make ten bod boys!
Also, wherever the standards of girlhood
are high, the boys' standards will be
high, too. I think that very frequently
people get hyrterlonl over present condi
tions, hut, of course, we all know the
menace of the city streets. Just ao long
as girls make tho city streets their place
of amusement and recreation, so long
will there he these dreadful problems."
"You believe In girls having plenty of
enjoyment?"
"With all my heart," replied MIjb mat
tery eagerly. "I love to see girls having
n good time, and prettily dressed, and I
firmly believe that pretty clothes and good
times are tho rights of every girl In
America. But I do think there Is too
much over-dresslns here! The passion
for clothes nmong the women of America
is out of all proportion."
"Do you think that girls' Ideals aro
high at the present day?"
Miss Blattery shook her head. "No, I
am afraid that they are not," b1 said
earnestly, "tt seems to me that the Ameri
can girl has very low Ideals! She gathera
them from the cheap theatres, the lower
class of movlng-plcture show, nnd from
poor novels I sent out n questionnaire
through the whole country to different
high Fchools In the form of a list of tho
names of famous women. I asked the
teachers to give this list to all the girls
In the schools, and the Intter were to ay
what they knev about each woman. The

names I gave were: Mary Lyon, Alice
Freeman Palmer, Frances Wlllard. Clara
Barton, Florence Nightingale, Jane Ad
dams nnd Mnud Balllngton Booth. The
last name of all was tho name of a poor
young girl who was the wife of Harry
Thaw."
"Which woman was most familiar to
them?"
Miss Slnttery again shooc her head.
"The girls know very, very little nbout
the first list," she said, "In fact, any
answers they did make were crazy!
Florence Nlghtlngnlc was Invariably put
down as a great singer, for Instance. But
when It enme to Evelyn Nesblt Thaw,
they all knew all about her. I think this
shows where and how American girlhood
at present gleans her Ideals."
"The only remedy for this stato of af
fairs," continued she, "Is to be found In
the creation of a new public sentiment.
Law may bo evaded, but nothing can
withstand tho forco of public sentiment. I
want the rich girl to help the poor girl,
nnd the factory owner to care for the
welfare of his employes, and the people
of Amorlca to rouse themselves to tho
assistance and help of these young girls,
remembering that they nre the mothers of
tho 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 one expensive pair.
Try to change your corsets every dny.
Never wear the same pair two days run
ning. The corsets that are not In use can
be straightened out and 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 be Btrctched on a
board and scrubbed with a brush dipped
In soapy warm water to which a little
borax has been added. They should be
scrubbed until as much dirt as possible
has been removed, and then they should
bo rinsed In clear water. Pin the cor
sets out flat on a board to dry In tho air,
but not In tho run.

MODES OF
The Top Coat, an Indispensable
M.iAr.'.1. and Designs
The too coat was, once upon a time,
an ".'rtleta of the wardrobe thajerved
as protection from wind and weather
and stopped Just there.
Then some adventurer In the land of
fashion discovered that It was ra
capable of varied form and adaptable to
the usages of beauty In cut and color and
This season It would seem ns If the
Imagination of the designers had run
riot. It appears In many guises .al
most all of them desirable, with the two
fold charm of grace and utility.
The top coat Is throe-quarters or full
length; It Is plaid or plain; extremely
masculine or only coquettlshly so, and
It Is buttoned close to the throat or It
Is loosely fastened nt the waist.
There Is only one rule by which the
top coat appears to abide. It Is loose
and comfortablo and, whatever Its efTg li
may ho, It shows a strong Inclination to
Ilare. . . .
The coat sketched today Is made of
chinchilla cloth, tobneco brown In color,
with collar nnd cuffs of a plaid that
shows both red and groen.
The four buttons that fasten the coat
aro of Imitation tortoise shell, dlstlnctlj

THE TREATMENT
OF DAMP HANDS
First Impressions are most important.
In the welcoming of the stranger within
our doors It Is a. dreadful thing to greet
htm with a cold and clnmmy hand. Such
a greeting has a damping air nbout It.
Yet the possession of such a hand Is only
too common.
Tho hand Is full of tiny nerves and
muscles, which respond to tho call of
nny nervous excitement. The latter gives
rise to a damp and profuse perspiration
In tho hand. Another cause of the clammy
hand Is Imperfect circulation, nnd to rem
edy this plenty of exercise In the open
nlr should bo token.
The value of massage cannot be over
estimated In this connection. In con
Junction with n good cold cream, mas
sage will frequently work wonders. To
be of benefit It must be prnctlced reg
ularly morning nnd night.
The wearing of ovcrtlght gloves Is an
other fruitful cause of this unpleasant
complaint. Great care should be taken
in ih hiivlnir of cloves, and It Ib a good
plan to choose n pair slightly larger than
Is actually nocessary.
SPICY SAYINGS
TIs better to have loved nnd lost than
to have to stand the costs of n breach

a man loses them.
Love often takes place among the ruins
of another lovo affair.
The Family Pinch
The little, mild bald man had settled
down In the train to read, nnd, feeling
drowsy after a trying day at business,
fell nslocp. On the hat rack above was
a ferocious crab In a bucket, and, reach
ing the edge of the rack, It fell, alight
ing on the little man's shoulder, and
grabbed his ear to steady Itself.
All of the passengers watted expectant
ly for developments, but all they heard
was:
"Let go, Sarah! I tell you I've been at
the office all the evening."
spoonfuls of butter, salt, popper, celery
ealt, bread crumbs and an egg.
Itemovo the skin and bones from the
salmon. Mix sufficient milk, flour and
butter to make a saucerful of thick paste.
To this add salmon, then season, and
cool. When tho mixture Is cold, shape It
Into small cylinders, rolt It In crumbs,
then roll It In the eg, 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 dellclously.
The Making of Corn Fritters
Take six ears of corn. If the corn Is
green, then It must bo grated. If the
corn Is canned, then It must bo very finely
chopped. Use three unbeaten eggs, with
one tablespoonful of melted butter. To
this add two pounded soda blscnlts. Add
salt and pepper, mix all together, and
fry In the same manner as griddle, cakes.
Tho results should prove excellent.

Thero Is n great preference shown to.

The new wool velours, for Instance, hag
many points of recommendation. . It Is
warm nnd not over henvy nnd It lends
Itself to the now shades very much after

A Hyacinth for Company
Nowadays It Is not merely tho Joy of
the llower thnt will bloom Indoors and In
tho winter time, hut there Is the added
Joy to bo had In the quaint or curious,
esthetic or simply bcautirul object In
which the flower grows.
There nro squat little glasses for hya
cinth growing, for example, that have a
character nil their own. They are deter
minedly cheerful nnd they renlly seem to
create a domestic atmosphere of peace
and good-will nnd content.
.Tuft one little plant In a room will some
tlniea set one's thoughts winging. The hall
bedroom girl, who can't havo a dog for
company, should have nt least one fern
or flower to tend nnd love.
There are hyacinths, pink, blue and
white, single and double, that will grow In
hyacinth glasses or In a glass dish filled
with pebbles ns well as In earth.
To give them a good start, they should
bo put In the dark In a reasonably cool
place for quite four weeks, until tho long,
threadlike roots have grown down Into
tho glass.
They will show tho igrccn stalk at the
top by that time nnd then It will bo a
question of tempernturo of the room:
something over CO degrees Is best, and If
they nro started now they will be In
bloom by Christmas.
There .are many varieties of hyacinth
that do particularly well Indoors. Any
dealer will know the ones to recommend.
For those who find the fragrance of the
ordinary hynclnth too heavy, there Is the.
Roman hyacinth, a single flower with a
much fainter perfume. It grows on a
very slender stnlk nnd the separate blos
soms Btand further apart. Altogether, It
Is even more dellcnte In nppearnnce than
the ordinary hynclnth, nnd tho colors, the
pale pinks and blues nre equally lovely.
A single little glass will cost only M
cents nnd bulbs can he bought for 10
cents npleco.
