The dance wnt In full prosross, ami the Heirt-Ureakcr wns. ns usual, sur rounded by an admlrlns thronR of men. Thnt such should be the case Is not sur prising, for she Is ft delightful younu woman In many ways. Her fnults are easily seen, and seem to render her more lovable. They have thnt tout . of nature that Is very liumatu Her name Is Rltccn. and her little face Is very piquant and Jtut suits her namv The scalps of all her tn.ilc admlrerR are too numerous to count. She says they ate "dear hoys" and thnt she loves them all-bul such an attitude, thoimh tlatter 1ns to their vanity, must he a shade un satisfactory to such ns cje her with n matrimonial ee. The mtnle of the dance went Kally on. nnd the Heart-ltrcakor, to ill Intents nml purposes, was tlvlm; up to her reyutn- tlon In the m"t whiile-henrtoil fashion "Whnle-hearted" l the word In reference to that calm and level-headed ilamxel. ' Her nuisln. n till, plcnsant-looklnjr 1 youth, approached her through tho throns of black coats that surrounded her. "Hello, Kitten." snltl he cheerfully, "too late to pet a dance. I suppose?" "I Ruors 1 cm make room for you," she said, laughing up 't him In a most bowltehlnc fashion, to tlin obvlom annoy nnce of the thronR around. It almost looked as If her rovness with her cousin was premeditated, Just to nnnoy and tease the other iisplr.ints. He took her program from her: then he saw that hlernfilyphlcs of n hundred names seemed scrawled upon It. "Why, Hlleen. all your dances arc filled up!" he said In nn amused yet would-bo mournful tone. The Rlrt laughed merrily. "I never keep engagements If I really want to break them. I,lfe' too short for that," said she, and with her pretty little pencil scored out names and odd Initials hur riedly. The cousin laughed and thanked her. "I am making ei.emles, ' he said In Ills deep, pleasant voice All evening the Heart-nreaker danced' with one deeply enamored youth. Her cousin watched her from a corner with an Interested eye. He liked to analyze her mental attitude toward life and nien I and things In general. Viewed psycho- 1 logically, she seemed to him most Inter esttng. Apart from that, his henrt was; whole and he was fancy free. "I lenrnt my lesson with her manv years ago," said he, reflectively: "no wiles could ever cause a flutter now. I must admit that she Is most attractive to other men. Vet as far as I am concerned ihe has no power at nil. I llko her and I do admit her fascination but she has not heart enough, Just a mere buttertly!" Thus mused the cousin. He was watch ing the enamored yout' with a cynical yet a pitying eye. "The poor young fool!" said he, "to think that once I too rehaved like that' And Eileen Is Just laughing at him, too. That girl has got a hoart of stone. It is too bad. My dances are due now, nnd I'll talk to her In .1 brotherly fashion. That youth looks "ar too nice to be played with and then laughed over aftcr "ward." "I think that you are very cross and quite old-maldlsh. too'" said pretty Eileen to her cousin a few minutes later, while the promised lecture was In progress. "Why, I am educating that boy! In a few years' time he will be thankful that he ever met me' I'm training him so that he can be ready for the Mice Otrl he Is polnc to marry'" this with a virtuous air. "Oh, he Is going to get married, Is he?" brenthed the cousin. "For nn en cased man he did seem rather sweat on you!" "An engaged mnn'" said the girl, with an air of Innocent wonderment. "Who ever said ha was engaged" "You said Just now thnt you were train ing him for the nice girl he Is going to marry!" "Why, yes, of course," laughed the Heart-Breaker In an nmused tone, "but he hasn't met the .'lco Girl yet! Just now he thinks thnt I am she I do so hate to disillusion him"' The cousin frowned, a frown which The Sunny Side Tf you make up your mind firmly that you will never again speak unkindly of anyone, and that. If you cannot find any thing Rood In them and cannot see the best side, you will see nothing and say nothing. It will make a wonderful differ ence In life for you. Tou will be sur prised to see how soon everything will respond with a message of Joy and peace. If you always look on the sunny side of every Incident you will find that there Is really very little trouble In th world for you, and even that little can be turned to goodness. Tour vrnetfary countenance nnd cynical remarks will be cast off as an ugly mask which has been hiding your real, wholesome, happy self nnd all the blessing's of human experience will be yours. 'Just being- happy Is a fine thing to do; Looking on the bright side rather than the blue. Sad or sunny musing Is largely In the choosing. And Just being happy Is brave work and true. Examine Your Love Letters Any Inclination to ornate penmanship Is a sure Indication of a leaning toward the romantic and sentimental, while the least desire to shade a tetter shows Im agination and a tendency to Idealize com mon things. Long loops or endings to the letters Indicate that the writer "wears hla heart upon his sleeve." or. In other words, la trusting, non-seeretlve and very fond of company. If the "y" has a spe cially long tall, this shows affectation, but If the same person Is also careless about crossing the "t's," the combination la an unhappy one, a It points to fickleness. A curved cross on the "t" or the Incurv ing: of the first letters of a word shows an affectionate disposition; but If the two are Indulged in tt Is a sign of Jeal ousy.

The cousin took nn notice and contin ued: "I do not wonder at the men filling In loe with von. Klleeti. What I do wonder nt Is the manner In which Volt keep them dangling on when you realh don't care a scrap about them." "It Is so lnteretlng." said she, quite uiinbnshed "1 like to collect scalps Much lo his own hobby, you know t tlnd this one Interesting." "Tell me about these different scalps," said the cousin In a relenting tone. "If I recollect aright, I wnsr the 'first man lit' myself, wasn't I?" "Oh, no." she said: "lots came before you. If you'd only known It. The first linn was quite the nicest of them nil -that Kngllshman thnt I refused about live years ago, Jim Oordon. He n'ni awfully poor and quite Ineligible " "And there have been many since his day?" 'Oh, yes," the girl replied; "so many thnt I cannot count them." Their conversation wns Interrupted by the enamored youth, who now claimed the Henrt-Ureaker for a dance. I think tint the next three dances are mine," be, most eagerly. aid The girl stared at him coldly. "Tou are mlrtnken," said she: "your name Is not on mj program for any more dances than those you have already had!" The boy protested In shfer wonderment. "Hut I wrote my name there let me look," said he. "Your name Is not among the list," was the frigid reply. The hoy moved off as If In a. vague, unhappy dream. "Now did 1 please you?" said the Heart Breaker to her cousin. "You told me not to encnurnge him nnd I have taken your advice." "You need not have employed such drastic measures," was the dry response. Two hours later, within the privacy of her room nt home, the little Heart nreaker stared at Ihe outside of a foreign envelope. A vague foreboding stirred at her heart. Could this be news of her old friend, Jim Gordon? He was an Englishman, nnd fighting, that she knew. She sat there In her lovely ball sown, n pretty, slender figure, with the letter In her hand. At last she slowly opened It. The news was brief nnd to the point. Jim Gordon had been killed In bnttle, and Just before he died had sent a message to her. Five years ago he had received dismissal from her nnd gone back to England. He had assumed the attitude of friend nnd written friendly. Interesting letters at Intervals for those five years. Now he was killed, and to the last he had maintained the attitude of friend! It was a friendly message that he sent no word of love was there yet the girl knew that his was a faithful heart and that he had loved her to the end. .She stared Into the dawning day nnd her young face wns pale and drawn. "He was the only man that I have ever loved!" said she. , The End. Milady's Lampshade Never, perhaps, did lamps so combine the truly artistic with the practical aa at present. They can be found suitable for every room In every shape, slie and col oring and to harmonlie with any fabrlo. One handsome model Is In the popular filigree work over yellow silk. It Is de cidedly Turkish In appearance and fits perfectly In the den or living room. Another reminds one of a young girl's boudoir. It Is made In white enamel, with frosted glass panels decorated with flowers to resemble a piece of cretonne. This style Is designed especially for tha Ivory-white furniture with wicker trim ming. A great many mahogany vasea are be ing used, and a very new Idea Is the teakwood stands Shades are very elab orate. Some have panelB of Japanese silk, hand-painted, as In the illustration. These have china vases with a scene to match painted upon them. Laces are seen on the silk shades, and very beauti ful ones can be had with wonderful In sertions of filet medallions or dainty bands of baby Irish trimming. How to Remove Stains Stains caused by coffee, tea and Ink should be removed before washing Various stains need different treatment, as will bo seen by the following Coffee or tea stains Pour immediately boiling water on the affected part. Sprink ling powdered borax over the part has a good effect. Paint can be removed from white ma terials with paraffin oil. If It Is a colored article rub turpentine on the spot Urease If on colored material, wall rub the part with rectified benzine, but taka great care when using this, aa It la high ly inflammable.

CHRISTINE FREDERICK Author The New Housekeeping, "Bring me some ham and eggs glass of milk, a piece of custard pie with cheese." This order goes forth not only once, but hundreds of times dally In our restaurants by the business man. In the tea rooms another order goes forth frequently. "I'll have some waffles and honey, a cup of chocolate and a French pastry." These meals are absolutely Immoral, and a further glance at them wtU show why. Here we have the business man ordering eggs, meat, milk, custard and cheese the five most Important foods of the same class protein. In other words, he Is taking tho same kind of food in five different forms and hla meal, therefore, Is really only one kind of food taken ad libitum. His wife in the uptown tea room eats waffles, syrupj, chocolate and pastry. Again four dif ferent forma of the same kind of food, so that her meal la all starch, sugar and fat. Now, no meal so one-sided can be healthful. A hasty glance would, per haps, lead ua to believe that the man's lunch was more wholesome than tha woman's, but both are dletlcally bad. We have said so often that the Ideal meal) la composed of four different ele mentsthe proteld or muscle forming, the sugar-starch or fat forming, the fat or heat forming, and the mineral elements which add flavor, refreshment and tonic qualities. The "balanced" meal must have soma of each of the four qualities represented In the fooda which compose It. In this way all the needs Only a Word It was only a word, apoken gently In praise, At the closa of a weary day. But it set an aching heart at rest. And drove Its care away. It waa only a look of sharp reproof. At an effort made In vain; But It crowded an overburdened heart With bitterness and pain. The words we speak, the looka we cast. May bless or mar a life; May fill It full of tenderness. Or cause unlovely atrifo. Then may our actions all be true; Our worda whole-hearted, kind; That when we die, our Uvea may ahed Sweet memeorle behind. Anonymous. The Only True Girl Girls, says a clever woman writer, ahould endeavor to cultivate to tha ut most patience and gentleneas. When I these qualities are present In a girl, her company become delightful to all who know her. Patience means aelf-control, i It helps ua to axtlngulsh envy, overcome anger and crush prld. Tha best Msions of patience and self- denial and the better because not chosen by onrselvea are those In which we have to bear with the fallings of those around ua; to endure negleot when we feel that we deserve attention, and ingratitude when we expected thanks. In short, patience helps us to bear with gentle ncsa whatever contradicts our humor and opposes our win. UNUSUAL CHARM IN MEALS of the body are supplied by every meal, nnd no one need is over supplied. If we had taken the eggs from the first lunch and added them to the waffles of the second, and put in a vegetable or a fruit salad, we would have had a nearly perfect meal. From the eggs there mo protein, the waffles give starch and fat and the vegetable or fruit would give the necessnry watery and flavorful qualities to make the meal satisfactory, energy producing and refreshing. It Is exceedingly simple to plnn home meals, or to choose meals from a bill of fare after the balanced plan. Select one food from each of the four groups or such combinations that will give the four dif ferent food qualities. Here are some wrong combinations: Eggs, meat, cheese, milk (too much protein); rice, spaghetti, bread (too much starch); fried potatoes, doughnuts, cro quettes (too much starch and fat); waffles, chocolate, cake, pastry (too much sugar and fat); vegetable salad, baked apple, vegetable soup (too much water nnd mineral). Here are the same foods in correct com bination: Vegetable soup, eggs, pastry; meat, vegetable salad doughnuts; cheese, rice, cake; milk, spaghetti, baked apple. The housewife who la planning meals for a family should go back of the actual cooking to the first principles of diet. What kind of food should a man doing muscular work eat? What should a man doing mental work eat? What should the growing child have? What the person past M? We eat to live, but not all of us need the somo kind of foods at different ages and none of us will live healtllhy on an Immoral diet. Copyrlsht. 1M4. by Mri. Cbrlsttne Frederick.

"No, madame," he aald, with a still deeper bow. "Now ze rose Is priceless."
