NEW IDEAS FOR THE ATHLETIC GIRL THE BUSINESS GIRL AND THE HOUSEKEEI

The Oversensitive
Business Girl
By
ELLEN ADAIR
w &
Mm
St U an unfortunate fact that many
otherwise sensible girls imagine that
daily" work work outside the home la
derogatory to their personal dignity.
This Idea was very prevalent In the
early Victorian era, when women pre
ferred to stay homo and starve rather
than step out Into tho glnro o publlo II fo
and earn their living In a healthy, sen
sible way. for tho earning of one's dally
bread Is healthy, mentally, morally and
physically.
The Victorian maiden did not consider
that there was anything undignified In de
pending on tho charity of father, brother
or male rclattvo for her maintenance. No,
Indeed! Neither did tho male relatlvo
oonsldcr her support an Imposition. At
lensr", If In his heart of hearts the women
of his family seemed a bit burdensome,
he kept quiet about It.
Nowadays, .however, things have
changed considerably, and a great bless
ing it Is that thoy have. I think tho early
Victorian maiden was a foolish, spineless
creature, and her attitude toward men
qullo Impossible. Tho Jnno. Austen hero
ine, who sat at home, quietly doing her
fancy work, praying nnd hoping that
omo nialo creature would come nlong
and marry her, was an object of pathos.
Thero Is a certain typo of girl who
clings Just a little to the Jane Auolen
Ideal. Whllo working for her own living,
sho considers that this work Is beneath
her dignity, and she looks around on
every hand for slights and fancied In
sults. Every ellglblo man who seeks to
pay her n little attention she snubn un
mercifully, "ito Is only seeking a lltllo
amusement nnd flirtation with me," she
says to herself Indignantly, "for the well-to-do
man does not seek a wlfo from
among tho ranks of the girl who works.
No, Indeed! Therefore, I am not going
to waste my time nnd my nffectlon on
him, and then be thrown over in tho
end."
Many business girls reason In this fool
ish and Illogical way. If they only know
it, the senslblo man, no matter how well
born and wealthy nnd altogether "ellg
ible" ho may be, always respects the girl
who has brains enough and grit enough
to earn hor own living, lie calculates
that she has learned many Imporlnnt les
sons In hor business llfo and that her
character as well as her brain-capacity
nns uecn tested.
Tho girl who is sensitive on tho score

Oddities m Letter-writing
There ! perhaps, nothing more reveal
ing of character than a letter. "By their
letters you shall know them," Is a very
safe assumption. A good many girls
havo fallen into eccentric habits in their
letters nowadays. A certain amount of
liberty Is more permissible In letters than
In other forms of composition, but this
does not Include Writing both ways on
one sheet of paper, omitting dates nnd
addresses, using Violently tinted paper,
etc. If you havo over racked your brains
and your disposition trying to decipher a
letter written two Ways on one , sheet,
you'll appreciate this.
Palo pastel-tinted papers arc Is. vogue
Just now, but the wise person will con
flno herself to plain white. You can get
as expensive a white paper ns you choose.
They como with gold edges and mono
gram, a beveled border and plenty of at
tractive styles. Never use n stamped
envelope unless It Is' a business letter.
iou can use scaling wax, of course, but
take tlmo to Icnrn to make a good Beal,
Nothing looks worse than a huge, care
less-looking seal. When you are direct
ing a letter to a married woman uso her
husband's name, written out In full, never
her own. It Is surprising how often this
Is overlooked.
All numerals "n a letter should be writ
ten out In full except tho date. You are
supposed to nnsw-r n letter within two
weeks' time. Letters of acknowledgment
nnd "bread-and-butter" Icttors should bo
answered immediately. Never use n hus
band's title when addressing his wife, as
"Mrs. ltov." or ".Mis. Dr." The damsel
who follows theso few hints will Improve
In her letter-writing methods.

NEW STYLES JN RIDING HABITS
Table Etiquette
Table etiquette seems a very unneces
sary subject to talk about, but sosmany
people overlook It entirely nowadays, or
have novor known tho real ctlquotte, that
a few rules will not bo out of place. It
is astounding to sco the men nnd women
who cheerfully transgress nil tho rulos of
good breeding and never know that they
are so doing. Tho following ara hard and
fast rules which no one who wishes to bo
considered well bred con afford to dis
regard.
Never take largo mouthfuls of food.
Never put potato eklns, fruit paring,
bones or anything of that kind, on tho
tablecloth.
Nover put food on tho 'back of your
fork.
Clever leave n spoon In your .poffeo,
tea. or chocolate cup.
TTever pour a liquid Into your oauccr
to cool or drink from tho saucer.
Never use a steel knlfo for fruit.
Never eat rapidly, and never with your
knife.
Never tip your soup plate and always
push the spoon from and not toward
you.
Never pee! a pear or peach and take
tb Juicy fruit up in your Angers.
Never cut your food up In small pieces
en your plate, as you do for children;
the food should bo cut and entcn nt tho
ame time.
Never take soup noisily, nor from the
tip of the spoon.
Never grasp the blado of the knife;
Use the handle.
Bread should be broken; never cut.
Never butter It on the tablecloth.
Never read newspapers, letters or books
at the table.
Never use a spoon to cat small vege
tables. They should always be eaten
"""-with a fork.
Never put your own knife Into tho but
ter dish, or any other dlsli meant, for
general use.
Never fasten your napkin 'at the neck.
X,y it on your lap.
Never leavo the table until the meal Is
ver. If you have to leave early, always
xouse tVourself.
About the folding of the napkin thero
te one good rule. When at a restaurant,
don't fold it. "When at a private dinner,
do as your hostess does.

Handbags galore are to bo seen nowa
days, and every new stylo Beems more
useful than the last. There Is opportunity
for a regular history of bags, from tho
evolution of tho slmplo nul-so Milady used
to carry, to tho huge bag affected by tho
invetcrato shopper. Then thero Is the
vanity case, tho (whlBpor It) cigarette
case, tho coin purse, the boxlike leather
case, and lastly tho so-called "fitted" bag.
Tho latest arrival in tho bag world Is
the lltted opera bag. Theso nro most
elabprtxte, as their names would Imply,
and ono particularly nttracllvo style la

THE
HOUSE
BEAUTIFUL
The Charm of Antiques
In the art of household decoration, so
Important theso days, antiques are again
making their appearance. Nothing Is
prettier than a room daintily and artis
tically furnished. And a room can be
artistically furnished, and still combine
furniture of different periods. A library,
for instonoe, done in heavy Flemish oak,
will not be marred by the effect of a
bluck walnut antique desk. The teak
wood desk, Inlaid with Oriental designs,
is another favorite. You seldom see a
room done entirely In teakwood unless H
is a, very small writing or reception room.
So if you have a teakwood. desk don't
hesitate to combine it with jrour other
furniture.
Contrasting, woods an be artistically
arranged In one room if that room in large
enough to allow a decent space between
the articles. These never should bo
crowded together. You can give an an
tique appearance to any piece of oak you
might have by treating It as follows:
Coll some green walnut shells in a. cop
per vessel until nil the strength la ex
tracted, then strain nnd bottle the liquid.
Dilute this with cold water and apply
with a sponge. When, tills has dried, coat
the article with French polish and hard
brown shellac varnish, mixed In equal
proportions, and applied with a broad, flat
brush. If you. ennnot procure the green
skins, buy the mixture oil ready-made
from some reliable shop. If It Is genu
ine. It will have a peculiarly woody odor,
Now buy a quantity of liquid ammonia,
and nfter you have thoroughly rubbed
the article, mix the ammonia with Van
dyke brown. After allowing a day or two
between Applications to insure dryness,
repeat this several times, to do away with
the dull appearance which may be left
after the first application.
To Soften Water,
X simple method to soften hard water
la to boll It for a quarter of an hour,
pour It into an earthen jug, add a quar
ter of an ounce at common soda to each
two saltons, Wr, and when cold care
fully pour oft the clear water from tho
sediment.
Removal of Stains
To remove tar status put a few drops
ctf ioltd oil on the stains and allow them
tft remain, and the spots can be easily
rsved.
Now Bacon
Always sorub a new piece of bacon
thoroughly before it Is siloed. The bacon
after the scrubbing Should be allowed to
rjt.

Melt together two parts beeawai to one
Bart of mutton fat Apply this to the

Ouu IVlmbcrlev, eon of Anne, tht
JlfarcMoiiMi of Wlmbcrtey. nt Harp lr
School, o which John Erlctph i head
majtcr. John and Anno are enpaaed to to
married. Lord Arthur ittriet, uncle of
Guv Wtmlerleu, teams John that thero ts
a riot to put the boy out 0 the viav, Dlch
ileriet, a cousin, and in line Jor tle in
heritance 0 the great IVlmbcrlev cstatct,
is concerned In the ptol. The other plot
ter are Vertlaan, a eclenco master at
Jlarptree, who hae a hola on John Ertetoh, '
andMr. Trovers, Jlrteioli'e stater. Hre.
Travcra was deserted by tho man she
loved, and this man was acctdentallu
killed tu John Erletph. Vcrttnan persuaded
British to let another man pan the
penalty for Ms crime, and now Is in a
position to VlacKmal Erlelgh. Mrs.
Travers docs not know that her own
brother hilled the father of her child,
James. Two plots to Uldnap Ouu Wim
berleu have failed, and the detectives em
ployed to natch over the boy have bepun
to track doton the conspirators, .tuother
group of conspirators also exists, but
thero U no clue to them. Vertinan visits
Mrs. Travers, and when she threatens to
expose tho plot, he teams her that he will
mako her miserable for life. He also
threatens John Erlclphs happiness.
The IVlmberieju ask the Traverses to the
opera, and there James Travers falls in
love with Cluy's sister Joan. In an auto
mobile accident he saves her life, but is
taounaerf himself.
He loses his right hand, and his career
as a pianist, but he wins Joan Wimbenev'a
love.
Lord Arthur asks John Erlelgh to dis
miss Vcrlloan.
Jfrs. Travers tells her brother that
Vertlaan wants to marrp her and that he
threatens to expose John Erlcloh. John
says that Vertlaan shall not marry her.
Mrs. Travers sees Vertlaan and informs
htm that if he exposes Erlelgh, she lull!
expose htm. IVImbertey shows his room
malo 0 Jlne tieto revolver he bought. He
then takes his motor car for a trip home
to celebrato his molhre's birthday with
her. He takes the weapon oith htm. The
car breaks down in tho park about a mile
from the Wlmberlei mansion. He pro
poses that he walk home white the chauf
feur is repairing the car, and asks the
enauueur jor a small ciecino lamp, cut
the chauffeur says he has to have it to
repair the car
After walking half a mile Vimberley
trips over an obstruction and is suddenly
enveloped in a blanket. Chloroform fumes
overcome htm. When he awakens he finds
himself in an old barn. Bending over him ,
Is Dr. Anderson, of John Erlelgh's school, i
Dr. Anderson and an assistant attempt to
transport him across a river. IPImberley
attempts to run, but Dr. Anderson over
takes him. In a struggle TVlmbirlty draws
his revolver, fires and makes his escape.
lflmberlei reaches the mansion and Is re
ceived by his mother with exclamations of
Joy. On the way he tosses the revolver
into a lake.
Lord Arthur discovers Verttgan wound
ed. He says he was following two men
who had attempted to kidnap Ouu TVIm
berley. CHAPTER XlV-(Contlnued)
"TT'S true enough, sir I should say, my
JL lord. There was a man who calls him
self Doctor Anderson a fellow with a
black beard, and a smaller ohap, clean
shaven and strongly built. They had
every Intention of running off with young
Ixrd WImberley tonight."
Lord Arthur smiled. "How do you
know this?" he queried. ,
T overheard a conversation between
the two men."
"When and where7"
"In this very shed tonight."
"put what brought you here?"
"1 told you, my lord I was on the track
of these two scoundrels."
Ird Arthur frowned, "You are' going
round and round fn a circle," he ssld.
"You first say that their conversation put
you on tho track of these two men, and
then that you did not hear the conversa
tion until you had tracked them down
here."
Vertlgan smiled wearily. "I beg ynur.
pardon, my lord," Jie said, in. a feeble
voice. "I'm affld I'm not able to ex
press myself quite clearly my heau Is
not very cleai-I oame aoross the two men
In Harptree and overheard something
which led me to suspect that they -?ere

here, overheard their conversation In this
shed, and then " He paused and closed
his eyes with a moan of pain.
"Well, you needn't worry about it now,"
said Lord Arthur. "You can tell It all
later on to the police."
"The police?" Vertlgan queried faintly.
"Yes. We'll have to get to tho bottom
of this affair. An attempt was made to
rarry off Lprd WImberley tonight It
failed, bufwe shall have to find Doctor
Atrderson." I

"Aro you sure this Is their lantern?"
he queried.
"I I suppose so anyway, I found It
here. I lit a match and saw It on the
floor."
"Well, that may provide a clue. Have
a cigarette?"
"Thank you, my lord I should be very
grateful to you It might ease the pain."
Lord Arthur gave him a cigarette and
lit one hlmseif. Vertlgan lcuni'd bail: ,-n
the hay and closed his eyes. Lord Arthur
watched him with a puzzled frown.
"Can't make head or tall of it," ho
thought "But, of course, the whole story
Is a pack ot lies."
Lord Arthur was mistaken. Every word
of the story wns true.
"After this," said Lord Arthur, coldly,
"you must get rid of Vertlgan."
John Erlelgh walked slowly to the win
dow ot his study, looked out of.the great
transept or tho abbey for n few seconds,
nnd then walked slowly back to the fire
again.
"I don't follew your reasoning," ho
said, after a pause. "Vertlgan was In
jured In trying to snvo young WImber
ley. It seems to mo that"
"Pshaw!" Lord Arthur broke In rough
ly. "The story Is a tissue of lies. Vertl
gan is one of the gnng. They quarreled,
I've no doubt, and Anderson shot him.
That's about nil."
"I beg to dlffor from you," said Erlelgh
stiffly. "I have had a long talk with Ver
tlgan, nnd am quite satisfied that he has
spoken the truth. I have oven made In
quiries, and havo found out that two men
answering to tho description of Anderson
nnd Brltton were seen In Harptree, and
that Brltton had hired, a boat for a week
from a man two miles up the river from
here. I havo also found out that Mr.
Vertlgan was seen on that night by a
farmer, and that he passed the gate of
the farmhouse garden one minute after
Anderson and Brltton had passed It ob
viously, as Vertlgan himself had snld,
following them. If Vertlgan had been
ono of tho gang, he would not have gone
to work In this fashion. Besides, If he
had been engaged on such a dangerous
enterprise he would certainly havo been
armed with a pistol. I think it Is shame
ful of you to Buspect Vertlgan."
"He must go," said Lord Arthur quietly.
'I have made up my mind about that."
"Well, you may as well understand that
I m not going to permit any interference
with the affairs of the school."
"Then you Intend to let young WIm
berley run the risk?"
r"l d?-,no! am oln" to suggest to
Lady WImberley that It would be better
for Guy to go to another sohool,"
Great ?eottl" ejaculated Lord Arthur.
"You don't mean that, do you?"
"Yes, Lord Arthur-I've been thinking
,t,??r, l cannot undertake the respon
sibility." "But you won't tell Anne that?"
Or course not-unlcsa ail this business
becomes publlo property, and there is no
longer any need to conceal it: I shall tell
her that It is not advisable for a boy to
be in a school where his stepfather is
hJadKfBMr- rnl not BlonB n "y way
of thinking. Headmasters of other
schools have sent their sons elsewhere "
Lord Arthur stroked his moustache and
stared down at the fire. For a few
moments there was sllenoe. Then Lord
Arthur said abruptly:
"You are thinking of the good of the
school, not of what is best for Guy?"
''I wish to do what is best for the
school. A scandal of that sort would, of
course, throw us back for years. But I
am also anxious to do what is best for
duy."
"Then you practically admit that there
la danger tp be feared from Vertlgan?"
"I do not admli It But the mere sus
picion of such a thinr must carry weight
Then your attitude toward Vertlgan
makes my position a very difficult one.
Vertlgan is an excellent master nnd
would be a loss to the school, if r Bnt
him awav I should hav v ....-.
havo to explain everything to the gov.
....... . .. auuuv,, j irireiQ appeal
to them, of course."
!m,d,(Jn'.t thlnk B0"ld rA Arthur.
"Well. In any case. It seams m ..
the simplest way out of the. difficulty is
r ., , ? "v'fitvr o eisewnere, 1
shall be sorry to lose the boy, but I
must do what is pest fer htm and tho
school."
Lord Arthur smiled, "Then you ad
mit," he, Insisted, "that Ouy would be
safer elsewhere?"
'I do not admit it."
"Then, why is it better for him to go
I mean from his point qf view?"
"Itve told you, Lord Arthur, I am
gom to bo married to your sUter-ln-law
in May. She is devoted-to the hoy, and I
fear trouble about discipline and so forth,
Don't you think it would be better for
him to leave?"
"i do but for different reasons. He'd

pleased htm better than for Vertlgan to
go. But that was Impossible.
"Pity Anderson didn't put a bullet
through his heart," said Lord Arthur
savagely, nnd with that parting remark
ho left the room.
Jorn Erlelgh seated himself at his desk
and began to look through some papers
that had been sent In for tho fifth form
Latin verse prize. When ho had worked
for half an hour he paused and gazed
nt a photograph of Anne WImberley that
stood on tho table.
Somehow- It seemed to him that sho

moment (hat she would nover be nearer,
Hint tho distance would only widen be
twoen them.
CHAPTER XV.
Jnmes Travers sat at a table In the
library of Monksllver, a sheet of foolscap
paperbeforo him and a pen between his
fingers. The paper was covered with a
childish, Irregular scrawl attempts to
wrlto with the left hand. It was easy
enough to make tho letters easier than
ho had first thought It would be but the
joining them together Into words seemed
almost hopeless, though he knew that
with practice ho would soon be able to
accomplish tho task with some facility.
James Travers and his mother had .now
been a week at Monksllver. Lady WIm
berley had Insisted on their coming there
to stay with her, and had suggested that
the young man should start making a
catalogue of the books In the library. It
would, she said, be as good practice for
him as writing anything else, and would
serve ns a rough copy for the ultimate
typewritten list for whloh she was willing
to pay the sum of a hundred pounds.
Travers had Jumped eagerly at the offer.
He was not only glad of tho chance of
earning money, nnd earning It, so it
seemed to him, very easily, but rejoiced
at the prospect of staying for some con
siderable time In tho same house as
Lady Joan Sterlet. He was In love, with
the fine boyish pasBlon that only comes
to a man once in his life o.nd to some men
never comes at all. That afternoon In the
hospital when he had first learned that
he was to lose his right hand, and thpt
his ambition in life would never be real
ized, love had been born. There had been
admiration before, a kind of childish de
votion to a young and beautiful girl. But
it was not until that afternoon that he
knew he waa In love.
Now, as he tried to form words with
his left hand and smiled at times ,at his
own efforts, tho girl was In his thoughts,
and his handsome face was flushed with
pleasure, and there was the light of happi
ness In his eyes.
"Walton, Isaac," hewrote in the curi
ously legible scrawl. "Tho Compleat
Angler, 1663."- , ,
Then he cut off the strip of paper with
a pair of scissors, blotted It, and dropped
It Into a little box labelled "W." Having
done this, he rose nnd replaced the book
in its shelf. Then Just as he was return-I
ing with the next volume mo aoor openea
and Lady Joan entered tho room,
"You want a hook?" ho said eagerly.
"Let me And it for you."
She shook her head and smiled.
"CuesB what I want?" she said.
"I I how could I guess?" he stam
mered, and he thought how beautiful she
looked as she stood there, with tho rows
of books as a background tq her slim
figure and perfectly shaped head.
"Well, do guess."
"I you've come to see if I am doing
my work properly."
She laughed. "Not so far off," she
said. "Mother has told me to come and
help you."
"To help me. Lady Jotn? Oh, I say,
that's splendid."
"les, isn't it? I'm to take down the
books and bring them to you, and then
put them back."
"I say, that will be good of you. But
I'm awfully slow at the writing, I mean,
and then well, you ought to1 be paid for
it, oughtn't you?"
She laughed and pointed to the etutlr,
"Sit down, Mr. Librarian," she snld,
"I am your assistant, and you must glye
roe orders."
"Oh, Just Just take the next beoV," he
stammered "I mean the next one en the
right of the gap Pm writing from left
to right one writes that way I mean
ono tries to write that way."
She turned away from him to hide the
tears that had suddenly come to her eyes,
and it was soma time' before she tad the
courage to face nm with the first book.
He did not look up at her as she handed
it to him. His hand trembled as he 'tried
to write the title of the yolume and-the
name of the author.
Then for half an hour they Worked
steadily tilt there was twllght In the lopv
room. The big fire at one end of it
gleamed cheerfully, but U was almost too
dark to see the faded gilt letters on seme
of the volume. Travers wished to dllay
the lighting of the lamps a long as pes.
slble. He was living Jn a sort of fairy
land, where there ought ta be no glare
of hard lights.

I have been very fond of her since those

big new husband. He is charmlnff-and
almost nice enough for Amy.
"I was so glad you could come, Dor
othy," she cried enthusiastically. "Didn't
you bring your riding habit with you7
Oh, never mind, dear, I can fix you up
all right. I've Just got a couple of new
ones."
I slept soundly last night, nnd this
morning rose early for a canter before
breakfast with Amy. Tho habit sho has
lent mo Is lovely, nnd fits to perfection.
It Is of smart Oxford gray cloth nnd Is
made three-piece, with the breeches cut
rather 'wider than usual and ending In
a deep cuff that .cornea pretty far down
tho leg. I do like this extra width in
cut, as It allows greater freedom in tho
saddle, and as these breeches are re
inforced with chamois they aro particu
larly comfortable. I feel llko an English
Jockey In thorn nnd Indeed they aro cut
quite after the English pattern.
The skirt Is the very newest npron
style. When walking It fnstens nt tho
side, thus looking like nn ordinary riding
skirt. But when seated In the snddlo it
lifts over from tho rlgljt kneo to tho left,

Boudoir Slippers
'': " '' 'Ji ,- . '.'' :,v
Boudoir slippers nro getting more and
more elaborate as Milady's fancy Is
caught by their Infinite variety. Some of
them are so extravagant that they look
more llko evening slippers. Tho pair
sketched nro made of rose pink satin,
with trimmings of French flowers and
cream lace. Nothing Is more grateful to
Milady's tango-tired feot than the mulo
slipper. She can Just slide In Iter tiny
toes and comfort Is assured.
These slippers can bo copied easily, If
you buy the satin covered form, and then
gather a piece of thre-inch lace Into tho
bandeau which crosses tho instep; then
tack on the roses and your slipper is
complete.
