"I feel so worried and disappointed," raid a young nnd pretty girl to an Inti mate friend. "You know I told you on lveW Year's Eve that I had resolved to atop nil foolish gossiping. I honestly In tended to carry out this good resolution, but my friends do make things so diffi cult (for me." 'In what way?',' asked tho other, In an Interested tone. "Well, my particular friends seem to llvo for gossip, and gossip alone," was tho dejected answer. "You know I prom ised to got up early and seo tho proces ilon yesterday as It passed Mary fihilth's house. When I arrived there I found qulto a crowd of girls nnd young men at the windows. Thoy ncro nil as lively, ns possible, but gossip was tho Jteynoto of all tho talk, .Each ono had nomo special item to retail about the New Year's Cvo parties in tho various restaurants." "But surely thero was nothing wiong In that?" naked the Other in n, surprised tone.

Besides, thoro'a nothing wrong In speaking of ones friends and neghbors. Is there?" "Of Course not, if you speak kindly of them," said tho pretty girl, still deject edly. "But tlie gossip was bo unchar itable!

"What did you ever do with tho old set of golden oak you had in your bed room bcforo your mother bought your now set?" "Oh, that? It's up In tho attic, I guess. It's too impossible for use, anyhow. It would positively scream at my modern furniture v "Well, my dear, modernize It! It won't do you any good sitting up In the attic Come on, we'll go up and see If we can't surprise Jack." Jack was more than surprised by tho results when ho saw them. The oak set was hauled forth and despoiled of Us trimmings. Then varnish remover was applied to remove tho golden oak finish. Two coats of .French gray paint and two of enamel wore added. The separate pieces of furniture bu reau, chiffonier and wasbstnnd were dec orated with glass knobs. The effect was so good that they bought a cheap dress ing tablo and painted it, too. The little room wns papered with pale plnk-and-whlte stripped paper with a rose frieze. Tho gray furniture looked charming against this, and they chose a ra,g rug with pinky tones in it. Little cream scrim curtains were hung up, and a plain -willow chair finished tho fur nishing. Little shaded pink candles wero placed on the dresser, and a few articles In roso brocade wore placed here and there. The whole room was most attractive and didn't look a bit amateurish.

"Oh, you are llko all the rest," said the pretty girl, with a cynical smile. "You like to hear uncharitable talk, too." "Indeed I don't, "but I want to hear how you acted." "Well, tho gossip went on. It really grow worso and worse. Name wore coupled together in the oddest ways and upon tho most slender of evidence. --It would appear fiom their talk that all married men wero villains who ran around with other women than their wives all tho time, nnd that tho majority of married women wero divided Into two classes; llrst, tho dowdy and unattractive ones who stayed at home and had no fun, nnd, secondly, tho giddy matrons who never stayed nn hour at home. If they could help It cafq-chasers, they called them. My friends consider tho 'cafe chaser type smart, I know that.

"And now I havo the consolation of knowing that they aro tearing me to pieces, too.

Your New Year resolution of 'Charity towardB all' Is one which may bo hard to keep, but which will reword you a thousand fold In tho end. Tho breaking of a shal low friendship Is a trifle compared with tho forming of tho now and delightful companionships which this Now Year re solve will surely bring!" Care of the Eyebrows Nowadays, when tho fashionable coif feur draws tho hair straight up from tho forehead, tho whole faco Is open to tho closest scrutiny. Formerly a girl could pull down a lock of hnlr over her fore head and cover a light skin blemish. But overy llttlo defect Is apparent now, for tho tight coiffure accentuates it. Did you over study tho lino of your eyebrows? Look nt them closely In the mirror, and seo if thoy are qulto perfect. Don't you And them Just tho least bit Irregular, and don't you seo a good many so-called "wild" hairs in the flesh on the temples? It is time for you to toko your self In hand, and attend to theso most Important trifles. The best thing to do is to go to a re liable beauty specialist and have your eyebrows shaped. It doesn't hurt very much, and you will be delighted with the result. They , have such a charming, graceful curve when they have been treated properly. If you And your eyebrows are too scant to risk shaping, apply the following oint ment with an eyebrow brush every night: Red vaseline 2 ounces Tlncturo of canhtar!des....U of an ounce Oil of lavender 15 drops Oil of rosemary 15 drops This may also bo used on the eye lashes, but you should be cautious In applying it.

NIn other words, these women wero sulllclently expert In their profession sullllcently paid to af ford an understudy In their own homes. It Is wearisome to hear numbers of really sood housekeepers, who are worth $60 and board In their capacity of homo managers, complaining and Imagining that they would be worth so much more In the economic Held. I know one case, at least, of what I should call a born mother and housekeeper moping around because sho doesn't see her way clear to get Into a business ofllce, where It Is doubtful if sho could earn more than $12 per week. Too many women set an undue economic value on their work outsldo of tlie home. If put to tho test, they would bo In tho $3 to $15 per week class, as I know many collcgo graduates und ex perienced women who aro glad to bo earning as much as $12 or $15 In high grade business ofllces. These women can not generally replace their own services In tho home. In order to do that and swing tho career and homo nt tho same tlmo the woman must be exceptionally edlclent so that she can command n sal ary which will not only equal her own services In tho home, but leave a marl gin. y I hear mutterlngs that "men havo a career and a homo; why shouldn't women?" But bofore men enn havo a home they must be responsible for the financial obligations of that home; other wise society says they neglect their duty. Similarly, woman's sharo in a home Is being rcsporslblo for the operation and management of that home, otherwise society says they neglect their duty. Man Is not permitted to shirk his finan cial responsibility. Why should women be permitted to shirk their managing re sponsibility? Eighty men out or 100 dare not shirk their responsibility to pursue an unremuneratlve career. Their wives would be tho first to raise their "voices against It. Neither Is It fair for women to pursue an unremuneratlve career at the expense of the home. Homo responsibility rests equally on husband and wife. Neither Is "free" to follow careers until homo obligations are fulfilled. If the wife does not choose to fulfil them herself sho must be able to adequately fulfil them with an under study. She cannot Jump them-altogether. 4 -' ' "i-l BJWcStffcar SJMT--' -crz -i wOTifflft;" " ii ATTRACTIVE NECKWEAR OF NEWEST JOHN ERLEIGH; SCHOOLMASTER A GRIPPING STORY OF LOVE.

It seemed so loud and close that Mrs. Travers fancied she could feel the strokes vibrating through the house. "I shall not betray you," said Mrs. Travers coldly. "I think you are very wise," Vertlgan replied. She lqokcd at him contemptuously. He was wearing a black gown and held a mortarboard cap In his hand. Tho winter sun, streaming through a window In tho study, fell upon his hard-lined face. "I think," she continued after a pause, "that you and I may as well understand each other. From this time forward wo are In opposite camps." "I was afraid that would bo tho case," said Vertlgan with a smile. "A matter of conscience, I suppose well, well. Every one must act according to his lights." "And you must realize," she continued, "that though you have some hold over my brother, I havo some hold over you. If you fall to keep his secret whatever It Is If you ruin him I shall ruin you." Vertlgan shrugged his shoulders. He know that he had only to tell the woman that her brother had killed the man sho loved and In a moment her whole attitude would change. But he did not choose to tell her at present. "Send you to prison," she went on; "you and Dick Merlet now we understand each other." He bowed and walked toward the door. Then he turned and laughed. This marriage of ours?" he said. "I'm afraid It won't come off." She did not answer him. She picked up a newspaper and began to open out the pages.

MODES OF Tha fashions of 19H Have come and gone. Thero' has been many a brilliant bubble that has burst Boon after tho Wowing. Thero has been much that was bizarre In Us effect, cxotlo In Us riot bf color and barbaric In Us blazo of glitter ing baubles. Underneath the extravaganza ot dress, however, tho surface fantasies, tho mod ern woman is holding fast to tho mod ern altitude toward what Is Bcnslblo and healthful. The waist may slip up and down from tho shoulders to the knees, but not In any of Us positions docs it Impede deep breathing. And the throat fashion tries to dictate high collars and provides tho most al luring confections In linen, lawn, lace and ribbons, but it is an atiractlvo bait with a sharply pointed hook of discom fort. , , To bo smort nt tho sacrlflco of comfort In really tho proposition. High collars oro unquestionably smart, but It seems probable that it Is only a fleeting fashion that will pass too quickly to be grasped at all by tho rank nnd file ot femininity. Thrco nttractivo collars are sketched today. Tho upper one, of plaited organdie, lace edged, opens In front so thnt It coquets with both fashion and case. Tho lower one, which Is topped by a wide plaiting, almost as bouffant as a Pierrot ruff, Is a charming tiling for a certain tjpo of face, tho flower type, but not hand painted. Tho narrow black velvet ribbon accents Us effectiveness and adds to Its beauty. Tho third collar Is quite uncompromis ing and very businesslike, or, perhaps, sportsmanlike. It has Its place In tho scheme of things sartorial, and Us de sign makes It particularly sultablo as part and lot of the blouse of soft silk or llnon. When It comes to collars, It seems as If the left hand wero qulto In tho dark as to what tho right hand contrived. Two or three things aro put together that lack ony tie of consanguinity, nnd either the public Is trained to think that whatever It Is rjfht, or else mero custom has kept things apart that should have em braced along ago. Many of tho high stocks are banded at tho top just beneath a wide, fluffy frill with what Is nothing moro than a soupcon, tho veriest suspicion of fur. It is so very narrow and partially hidden beside. Tho addition of tho French flower here, thero or anywhere is charming-, llko a hint of romance In a practical age. The flat OBtrlch feather trimmlrtg is used to advantage in making stocks and collars. mado a fuss about it It's her birthday and there's a dinner.

Randall turned up the gas and the ket tle on the "ring" began to murmur. Wlmberley began to stir somo cocoa and sugar and condensed milk Into a thick pasto in his cup. Outsldo the schoolhousa tho snow lay deop and the wind moancc' dismally. But tho study was snug and warm and comfortablo. It was only nine feet sliuare, and the furniture consisted of a tnblc, two armchairs nnd a book case. But Wlmberley was more proud ot it than he was of tho great house of Monksllver, with all Its art treasures and spacious rooms. Ho had decorated the wallB lavishly with photographs, had chosen tho curtains nnd the carpet him solf, had had Borne say in the coloring of the walls choice of pink, green and terra cotta had been offered to him, and no had chosen pink, ltandall had said that It reminded htm of tinned salmon, but ltandall had boen content to leave every thing In his hands. Tho kettle boiled, nnd Wlmberley poured the hot water Into the two thick white China cups. A delicious brown froth rose to the surface a froth that can only bo obtained by the use of con densed milk. For a minute tho two boys looked at the steaming beverage. Then Wlmberley began to stir his cup with a apoon ana me iroin tmcKened and grew darker in color. He stirred until there was no sediment left In the bottom of tho cup. "That's a good brew," he said", tasting the cocoa and smacking his lips. "Ripping,"- echoed Randall, "I say. when are you going to show us what you've got In your box?" Wlmberley shook his head. "Not nt all, my son. You'd talk. You can't help talking." "I swear I'll not say a word. I swear It by " nnd he repeated a form of oath In vogue at Harptreo more binding than anything of the sort provided in a court of law. "Well, I suppose I won't get any peace until I do." said Wlmberley, and taking a key from his pocket he unlocked a square Iron-bound play-box that stood In one corner of the room, drew out a cake, a tin of biscuits, some pots of Jam two yellow-backed novels, and finally a small mahogany box, "Sport tho oak, old chap." he said, laying the little box on the table. Randall bolted the door and laughed. 'I know what that is," ne said. "The Governor's got one like It." this." said Wlmberley angrily, "Come, I say a promise is a promise." "All right,. you can Just have a look," said Wlmberley, and he opened the box. A small) ugly looking automatlo pistol was disclosed to view. It reposed, like some Jewel, In a bed of blue velvet.
