How She Upsets Everybody
There Is nruold nnd very eenslblo rlijmo
Which warns us
"Not to hurry or lt flurry,
Nothing goo-l Is dnno by worry,
and the little verso crcr.rf real trutli vUtli
It, For of all trrllntlru'r'gJ-jMtlnR mortals
tho man or xromnn who wsos Is nmong
(he worst.'
H Is not dimeiilt to get Into the habit
ot fussing. If ono linppelia to bo nt nil
nervously Inclined, It Is, In fftct, tho
easiest thing In the world to do.
Tho woman who "never has a moment
to herself" Is Invariably n fusser. She
turns Up late for every appointment nrnl
comes panting In at tho last moment with
as much noise as a steam-roller.
"I am bo dreadfully, dreadfully sorry
I'm o late," sho will gasp; "but, you
ec so many things happened to detain
mo' I truly did my best to get away, but
It was all of, no use! Do say you will ex
cuse me?" And tho apologies nre so many
and so profuso that tho fuss she makes
Is Infinitely worse than tho crime of her
late arrival.
"Fusslnosn" Is deeply rooted In the na
ture of some women. They simply can
not help making a commotion about noth
ing. They are either assertive and love
to hear the sound of their own voice or
they are nervous and highly strung, and
their emotions run away with their bet
ter judgment.
I havo In mind one woman of my ac
quaintance who would be a model wife
nnd mother were It' not for this falling.
Sho can scarcely bear tho children out
of her sight for a momont, for she Im
agines that alt sorts of Ills and troubles
wilt befall them. If they do not return
homo Just when the clock strikes the
hour specified for their arrival she will
pick up the nearest hat and coat and
rush down the street to seo what dread
ful things havo happened.
This fusslness Is very bad for the chil
dren. For nervousness Is communicable,
and children soon become Infected with
that sort of thing. The woman who per
petually fusses Is not acting squarely to
her family. Sho Is bequeathing to them
an unpleasant heritage anil setting them
a wretched example, to say tho least of
it.
And the children of the woman who
fusses rarely give her the respect which
In the natural course of events would bo
her due. How can they? They see that
she is Irrational, Ill-balanced, that sho
larks "pols."
If ono wishes to see tlw fussy woman
in her eloment. the railroad station on tho
day of somo excursion or plcasuro trip Is
tho right time. There she Is and there
THE DAILY STORY
His Great Discovery
Tho Pelham twin uho wore pettlcoata
smiled In superior fashion on the Pelham
twin who woro pants.
The proud possessor of Infinitesimal
knickerbockers glared back at her of tho
petticoats.
"I you do I shall pinch you black and
blue," replied her brother, nearly tearing
himself away from Douglas Itaymond,
newly arrived assistant at JIorri3 ZUanor
School, who was awkwardly trying to fas
ten coat buttons for his rebellious pupil.
"Natalie has been waiting 'most an
fcour. Sho says your naughtiness will give
her new money, maybe, and you'll be
sorry when she's dead."
"I won't give her anything of tho sort,
you ninny." replied the Telham in pants,
as he Jerked on h!a mitten. "And I love
Natalie much better than you do! Any
way, I was only kept In an 10 minutes, eh,
Mr. Itaymond."
ery gravely Douglas Itaymond drew
out his watch and glanced at It.
"Twelve mlnutcs-and you might have
gone two minutes ago if you had not
tied tho sleeves of your coat togcthor.
Tell your nurse that the next time you
nre kept in for being a naughty boy
shn had best come inside and wait."
The Pelham twins trotted sturdily
toward the door, tho boy flinging over
Ilia shoulder:
"Natalie Is not our nurse. 'We don't
have a nurse any more. She's our' sis
ter" Then stopping stockstlil, ho added:
"And there will not be any next time.
Cracky, won't Natalie be tickled when
I tell her you thought she was our
nurse."
Douglas Raymond sighed as tho door
closed on the twins. Then he crossed
the room and etood looking down In the
street. And for this he had taken high
college honors.
He had just missed a small college
professorship through lack of tnlluence
- and with his mother dependent upon
him, ho had not dared to refuse the lib
eral financial offer of the master ot
Morris Manor, a flourishing private
s.'liool overlooking the Hudson. Even
That offer had not come until midwinter,
after death had caused a vacancy on
tho Morris Manor staff, and when
Douglas had almost decided to give up
his college ambitions and dig into com
merce. Morris Manor was a boarding Bchool
for boys, with a few day pupils drawn
from the rich owners of country homes
thereabouts. Just across the tree-lined
avenue was a fashionable school for girls.
Evidently from this school had come
the small sister ot his rebellious pupil.
He leaned over tbe window ledge to see
whether they were safely on their home
word way. and suddenly his fingers
gripped the rough stone coping1.
The twins were dancing up the street
ono on cither side of a tall, slender girl,
, lad In a natty skating suit with a scar
jet Tom O'Shanter on her well-poised
iie ad.
"Natalie" And he had not guessed.
H, wever. he would know tbe graceful
walk, the splendidly poised head, among
it thousand. Tha trio disappeared around
tke corner and he hurried back to his
"William Reginald Pelham."
There it stood on the "D" class list,
ruglas had not had time to become
familiar with his roll book. Tbe wUe
lltMr UUi laddie who said sueh a
H.nWoJitsly rebellious thins Ib mich a
4iecia way had been known to In in
t, uuig that rt srbooi day pnlv as
Aiiii" 1 fc had only known most
eKdki.i'v he would not hav detained tbe

ADAIR
sho raises her commotion. The sight Is
pathetic, but, at the same time, decidedly
entertaining.
Sho rushes along the platform dragging
sundry small Infants by the hand, and
carrying numerous large packages, pre
sumably supposed to contain nourishing
supplies for the day. ltor voice has a high,
plalntlvo note, nnd never ceases for one
single Instant.
"Is this really tho right train for such-anil-such
a place?" she Is calling out dis
tractedly. "Is it tho excursion train?
How many stations does It stop at? How
long docs It take? Is it safest to rido In
tho centre of the train? When does the
return train leave? How many hours
does ono get by tho sea?" etc., etc. ad
naUseutn.
The husband of tho fussy woman Is very
greatly to bo pitied. For on all and overy
occasion sho unwittingly makes him look
tho fool he Is not. Ho hates to seo his
wlfo make a laughing-stock of herself and
tho wholo family, but ho Is nearly always
powerless to stop hor. For the euro of
fusslness In women is exceedingly diffi
cult. They won't ndnfl,t their fusslness.
you sec.
However. I heard of ono husband who
successfully cuicd his wlfo of fussing Ho
hit upon a splendid nehemo to pay hor
back in her own coin. By naturo, he was
tho mildest of men. It literally wasn't
In him to rouso up a commotion. Ilut it
certainly was in his wife! That was tho
trouble. Sho was tho fussiest creature
Imaginable.
One summer, when they were going
away for their annuo! 'ortnlght's visit to
tho nca, tho wlfo net1 been particularly
trying. For about .a month previous to
tho great event, sho had dono nothing
but fuss. The poor husband was quite ex
hausted" and worn out.
When they got down to the railroad sta
tion half of the luggage got lost. This
was tho husband's opportunity. lie didn't
give his wlfo time to begin, but started in
fussing himself In the most wholehearted
way, Iteally, ho carried tho thing to ex
cess. He stormed up and down the plat
form, ho swore at tho porters, nxiii figura
tively speaking, ho raised Cain.
This gentle mood continued all through
tho journey. He fussed the whole day.
Not only that, but ho fussed for the whole
of tho first three days at the seaside. Ho
refused to allow either Ills wife or hid
children out of his sight for a single In
stant. They all really had a dreadful
time.
But this performance had onn thorough
ly good cfTect. It cured the wife abso
lutely and for evermore of "fussing." So
tho efforts of the far-seeing husband were
not made In vain.
What If sho did havo pneumonia
He tried to correct the copy books, but
his thoughts would wander.
"Wiiy wnsshe here? Why had she not
carried oufTIer origlnnl intention of go
ing abroad to study art? And If sho was
not studying, what was the Pelham fam
ily doing at thMr country place In mid
winter, with the social season In full
swing in the city?
Thereafter, in Justice to tho other
pupils, he explained to himself, he
showed no partiality to the Pelham twin.
In fact, that youth. If ho had not been
so perfectly cognizant of his own mis
chievous wrongdoing, might have com
plained of discrimination. But every
afternoon Itaymond stood nt tho win
dow and watched the slender figure with
Its two small charges hurry through the
crisp winter air. Sho must have changed,
ho argued to himself. Certainly sho had
settled down, for sho could not be doing
tho opera, teas and receptions, and call
for those children every nfternoon.
And then camo tho day of tho (bliz
zard. Itaymond watched It shut down on
Morris Manor and could hardly keep
away from the window. Was she coming
for those children on foot? By tho wny,
It was odd that sho never camo with n
sleigh or carriage! Other children were
clnlmed by fur-clad footman or strong
elder brothors. Nearly all the day pupils
were gone. Patty Pelham had not even
tried to come across the street from the
school for girls. Itaymond begun to
pace the Moor.
"Do you think your sister has forgotten
or Ib afraid to come out? Don't you
think you had better go home with 'Wil
fred Bailey when his mother sends for
him."
"Oh. Natalie will bo here, all right.
She's probably fussing with Patty's rub
bers. Natnllo is not afraid of anything."
Ten minutes later she staggered down
tho street and Itaymond dashed down
stairs, drawing her through the door and
shutting out the mad storm with a thou
sand furies tearing nt his heart. Why
hud he not gone to meet her? He led
hpr Into tho classroom, tore off her wraps,
chafed her hands nnd her face, sending
the oldest boy to the principal's offlce for
brandy and help.
An hour passed before the Btraln was
over, and then they sat facing each other
In Mrs. Morris' small sitting room. An
awkward silence fell between them.
"Please do not worry any more." he
said finally. "I caught your house on the
phone Just before the wires went down
and no ono is worrying. Tho teachers at
Miss Montgomery's will look after Patty,
and Mrs. Morris Is having a room made
ready for you to stop here. You are quite
sure you feel no pain In your side or
chest? Are you quite comfortable?
The girl leuned back In her chair and
smiled.
"I am comfortable nnd happy. How
far off June seems. It must have been In
tho dark ages "
Douglas Itaymond leaned forward and
looked into her eyes. There was no mis
chief in the answering glance.
"When your father failed when you
were In trouble, why did you never write?
Tou must have known that the altered
circumstances broke down the one bar
rier between us."
"Oh, thoy were not so much altered. I
wasn't Buffering, you know. We have a
little left enough to educate the children
and live comfortably and "
"Yew? Didn't you want rne?" he whis
pered. I was nfraid-you ffiisht think that-all

Itaymond stood up very suddenly, and
Natalie, leaning over the back of ber
chair. laughed into Willie's shocked face.
"Did you remark that dinner uas

"No, I didn't, tuit it Is; and if vou

Dctwcilcr's Millinery Opening
Tho millinery opening at Dctweller'i,
S2d nnd nidge. Is taking place today and
many exquisite models aro to bo seen.
Tho rich tones of tho millinery harmonize
with tho subdued tints ot tho gray French
shop nnd one largo leghorn hat Is par
ticularly attractive with its veiling of
black chiffon. Between the chiffon nnd
tho leghorn, resting on tho broad brim,
are flat daisies, while a citron-colored
ostrich plume rises from tho side.
Another charming French model In
sailor ehapoJns a brim of chiffon with
llowcrs set In between tho layers, whilo
sand-colored plumes match the crown of
soft sand-colored mllan.
The mixture of delicate pink with
French blue, for which great popularity
is predicted, la much in evidence. Ono
pretty hat Is of shell pink mllan, tho
crown encircled with box-plaltcd mallno
bound with pink satin, and a largo pink
roso nestles at tho front. French blue
streamers qulto a yard long aro attached
to tho liack and are adorned by a pink
rose caught gracefully In a loop of the
ribbon.
Another decidedly Parisian model car
ries a magnificent blrd-of-paradlse on an
airy crown of net adorned with 'Jet orna
ments. The broad brim Is of laco hair,
with net-ruffled edges The streamer
ribbon at back Is caught with a little
(lower spray In dellcato pastel shades.
Tho sailor shape, In all Its smartest va
rieties, Is seen everywhere. One smart
chapeau of leghorn which by the way
will bo Immensely popular has a pale
pink satin facing, tho crown being en
circled with a French hluo velvet ribbon
ending in a truo lovers' knot In centra
front, and with pink roses at tho side.
Tho now combination of soft purplo nnd
blue Is noticed. Ono model of the former
color has a blue ribbon drawn over the
crown nnd a largo bow at the back. It
Is exceedingly smart.
A notable model Is tho automobile hat
in n new and wonderful shade of red. It
Is adoined with cherries and uncut velvet
ribbon.

Do Women Dress
"Do women dress to pleaso men?" was
the nll-absorblng topic nt breakfast this
morning.
"Certainly not," said Elinor, In her de
cided way. "Women dress to annoy other
women and mako them Jealous."
This seemed rathor an unpleasant sort
of view to tako of one's oivji sex, and so
I denied It at once.
"We dress to please ourselves, and we
don't caro n btt about outshining other's,"
I said quickly.
nilnor Is a perfect dear, but she has
few, very fow Illusions where women are
concerned.
"Don't bo absurd, Dorothy," she an
swered. "Nino out of overs ten women
wear tho "newest thing" not because it
suns tucm, not uccauso incy porsuuiuiy
like It, but becauso other women are
going to envy them Its possession and tho
capacity they havo of keeping right up to
tho minute In fashion. Sce7 Don't get
any foolish notions In your head to the
contrary."
Just nt this moment the gentle votco of
tho protty little widow broko In. I

IN THE GARDEN By julia conley
Many peoplo have tho mistaken Idea
that to havo n doorynrd garden Is nn
expensive luxury, nnd llvo on each year
knowing nothing of tho plcasuro It Is to
bo ablo to pick baskets full of blossoms
for your house and to pass somo on to
your nelghbois nnd friends.
Let mo help you start your garden and
tell you how you can have n mass of
bloom by tho month ot Juno.
Scleot your llttlo patch of ground
a sunny spot In your yard along tho
fence, or closo to tho house, plan a
garden nbout four nnd one-hnlf feet
wide Its length, of course, depending on
your space.
First pioparo tho soil dig out your
garden about two fcot deep and put
eonio well-rotted manuro on bottom:
now spado tho dirt back over this, and
wait a week or two boforo planting,
hoping In tho meantime for a few show
ers, which help enrich the soil, nnd then
you nre ready for planting.
Hcmember, this Is to bo a garden of
annuals; so that you can have a contin
uous bloom nil summer.
I llnd n very sucessful way to plan a
color arrangement, which always makes
a moro beautiful effect is to map It nil
out indoors, draw a llttlo diagram of
your patch on paper, and select your
seeds, always considering height, color
and time of blooming.
Any seed catalog will tell you nil
of this and you havo no Idea tho pleas
ure you will have selecting and making
your list, and In picturing jour llttlo gar
den that Is to be.
At tho beginning plan to havo a back
ground for it nil, as that Is most Im
portant. 1 And cosmos, Lady Lenox, most effect

edge of your plan, tako a stout stick,
run It along through tho dirt; It will

so perfectly, too. If only I could support

Ignoring tho qulto audlblo remark, tin '

deep, sow your cosmos seed in this,
close together from end to end, and (111
In tho dirt over them. Pat it down hard j
with tho flat sldo or your hoe.
Tho follago of theso mako a full green
hedgo nil summer, and you will bo pick
ing blossoms lato In tho fall after the
rest of your garden hns gone to sleeD.
I havo often gathered hugo bouquets of
cosmos nrter qulto a heavy frost.
A few "Dahlias" nlong tho front of this
are nno for cutting nnd they, too, will atay
with you late In tho season buy bulbs for
these.
Tho garden, ot course, needs a finish
nlong its edge. Tnko your trench stick and
go from end to end making two rows
ot trenches In tho edgo ono sow "Sweet
Alyssum," a low-growing, sweet-scented
whlto flower and in the other sow "Dwarf
Nasturtiums." Theso aro no trouble to
grow and give plenty of blossoms to
carry Indoors.
Now you havo your background and
edging, so arrange to fill In tho space
that Is left, planning your color scheme.
Largo patches of blue, then a little white
patch, now a largo 1lue again, followlnc
with a. yellow, led, moro white, then re
turning to your jellow or blue again.
Sow soeds qulto thick so ns to obtain
mass of colois.
All this enn bo carried out with annuals
selected from nny seed catnlogue. I
would suggest for your blue patch "Corn,
flowers." Sow theso early In April, an
other sowing early In Mny. For while,
"Candytuft," "Sweet Sultan," "Stocks,"
"German Tea Weeks" (I mention this va
llcty ns It Is a free bloomer); for yellow,
"Zinnias," "Dwarf Sunflowers."
Next get "Calendula." "Calllopsls," any
of these or a fow of each, buy "Zinnias,"
assorted, ono color; don't buy mixed as
that spoils your color plan.
A red patch can bo aglowwith "Sal
via" "Bed Zinnias" "Lai gc Summer
Phlox" and your "German Ton Weoks''
