Idle Gossip About
While It la trus tlmt gossip can bo a
Very delightful and IntercstlnR- thing,
qutto harmless nnd Innocent, this rule
dries not always liolil good, and will bo
found to be tho exception rather than
the rule. For, on Investigation, it will
bo. discovered that tho ploco of gossip
which Is retailed with tho greatest gusto,
listened to with tho keenest relish nnd,
generally speaking, triumphantly trum
peted around tho houses of our best
friends, Isn't the simple, harmless llttlo
talo that It ought to be, but something
quite spicy and altogether uncharitable.
Tar charity and the best bits of gossip
don't go hand In hand. Upon tho con
trary, they haven't oven a bowing ac
quaintance with each other. And small
wonder, either, that It should bo so, when
one hears tho gosslpt 1'or envy, mallco
and all uncharltableness lie therein.
Tho best-hearted people do lovo to hear
gossip, too; that Is tho curious part of
It. Ono would Imaglno that they are
abovo such petty things, that their
broad-mindedness would rlso superior to
such trivialities. But nothing of tho
sort. Thoy may bo rharltanlo in their
Judgments, they may decline to believe
a, gossipy story but at tho name tlmo
they take tho keenest interest In tho re
cital thereof.
Another curious thing about the circu
lation of gossip is its lightning growth.
Why, tho provorblal beanstalk of tho
old fairy talcs, which grow to such
heights in a single night, was nothing
compared to tho tall stories ono fre
quently hears.
And oh, how theso stories do grow!
Thoy don't need ono single night In
which to assume gigantic proportions.
Ono slnglo hour Is enough. I havo oven
known rccoitl case3 of lightning growth
l In 10 minutes. And that Is certainly "go
ing some."
For Instance, Mrs. Smith Is new to a
certain neighborhood. She is therefore
tho cynosuro of all eyes therein. It be
hooves tho aforementioned neighborhood
to keep an eagle watch on Mrs. Smith,
tho newcomer, and also on her timid
llttlo husband, the worthy Mr. Smith.
It Is a mystery why this should be tho
cose, and why each and every neighbor
hood should constitute Itself a small de
tective agency, suspecting the worst of
very newcomer. But such appeals to bo
tho rule.
One morning Mr. Smith docs not ap
pear In his usual wild dash to catch
the 8.50 train into town. Nor does he
make any effort over the later trains
either. Tho feminine portion of the
neighborhood Is greatly exercised In
mind as to what can have happened to
-ho peaceful, law-abiding Smith family.
tt
MOVING DAY"
Helpful Hints From the Housekeeper
To most people moving day Is a night
mare a time when everything and every
body is dirty and bad temper the order of
tho day. And yet moving Into a new
homo Is Ilka entering on tho beginning of
n nnw vac. "Vm, nlirnva hnnA thnt Tinf-
: " ter luck, greater happiness or perhaps
Deiior nca. 111 ia tt-nuimib juu. icn
why let the actual moving upset you so?
There Is a lot in planning out a llttlo
program beforehand, which if ndhered
to should easo ull annoyance, discomfort
and difficulty in moving. I propose to do
a llttlo planning.
First, as booh as you havo settled the
date, fix on your mover. Most removal
firms will give you an estimate free, and
it is wise to get three or four estimates
from various movers, but be warned by
ono who has had experience that the
lowest estlmato is not always the cheap
est In the end.
Take- It as a golden rulo that you must
leave all your dirt, dust nnd rubbish be
hind and start with everything clean. To
ward this end do your utmost to get every
bit of linoleum or carpet laid down In
your new homo before your furniture Is
moved in. Many people object to this be
cause of "the men's dirty boots," but
at tho worst it only means a washing or,
in tho case of carpets, good brushing and
weeping afterward. If the carpets aro
laid after you niovo In It means so much
shifting of furniture that you despair of
ever getting it straight.
Another helpful hint Is to measure each
room carefully, so that you can plan be
forehand exactly where your big furniture
1)5 to go. This will save you endless trou
ble afterward.
Now a word about moving out. Scruu
and clean every piece of furniture you
possess before you move. Take out every
drawer and scrub It, as well as the frame
work. Then rellne every drawer with
clean brown paper, and they are ready to
receive your clothes. If you have to do all
this when in the new home you will get
that hopeless feeling again.
Clean all pictures before you move.
Many people say "Don't." as the glasses
have to be washed ngain after the men a
dirty fingers have handled them. Quito
true, but Jt la astonishing how much
dirt wilt accumulate on pictures, even
U they aro dusted regularly. Brush nnd
dust and scrub this oft in tho old house.
You will then only havo surface dust
nnd finger prints to wash ott in the new.
A number of removal firms will bring
packing cases and pack the goods
T. ."., v.., tr nnl. tret some boxes

,".-. t. .ti., vr.il mnv, nriler the men
as early as possible. Eight o'clock Is
not too early If you havo a fair distance
to go and want to get nicely settled be
fore nightfall.
When the men once arrive your work
so far as moving put Is over. When
they Iiave finished loading1 up, your beat
plan is to get straightway to your new
house and there be in readiness to super

One's Neighbors
Toward midday a man Is Been to go
Into the modest abodo of the Smiths
Descriptions concerning him van ni the
enthusiasm of the neighborhood varies,
but all are certain he was a fearsome
looking personago and that ho boded HI
to tho unfortunate Smiths.
About an hour later, Mr. and Mrs.
Smith como forth In company with tho
Btrange man, nnd Mr. Smith has a wild
and hunted look. There Is a bandage
round part cf his face, too. Tho neigh
borhood Is thrilled to the core. Surely
this Is clear ovldcnco of a struggle of
eomo sort! A look of agonized Borrow,
of nngulsh, Is surely Imprinted on tho
rather commonplace features of Mrs.
Smith. There Is a tragedy here.
Tho odd trio walk rapidly In the direc
tion of the station, Mr. Smith In the
ccntro with his hand up to his face.
"Poor fellow, ho doesn't want us to sro
him," tho neighborhood decides, "it look
as If ho had dono something! 'Who can
that strange man lending him by the
arm bo?"
And so the story grows and grows Ilv
early afternoon It 1ms assumed gigantic
pioportlons. Poor Mr. Smith, there are
few crimes he hasn't bren accused of
Kor somo dcclnro that he Is nn escaped
criminal, and that only after n dreadful
struggle has the gallant plain-clothes de
tective man collared him, whllo others
maintain that he Is an escaped lunatlo,
whose keeper has Just tracked him to
his now abode.
All sorts of Interesting additions and
queer details come to "light, until tho
story Is so thrilling that It ought to bo
handed down to posterity In the form of
a blood-and-thunder romance.
But at night, when Mr. and Mrs. Smith
como homo together arm In arm, smiling
and npparcntly quite happy, tho neigh
borhood stands at Its doors and behind
Its windows perplexed. What can havo
happened to bring about this peaceful
ending?
And whon they learn that poor Mr.
Smith hod been suffering all tho pre
vious night with a dreadful toothache,
and that Mrs. Smith had insisted on
telephoning to a young doctor-friend to
coma around and dlagnoso tho case, they
aro sadly disappointed. For tho trip up
to town in company with tho doctor
friend was evidently only for tho solo
reason and Intent of having tho unruly
member removed.
And many, many hectic tales end In
this very prosalo way, proving the folly
and tho Insanity of this Incessant gossip
about one's neighbors.

How canst thou let me waste my youth

Thou knowest I dare not look Into thine

My arms about thee, scarcely dare to

And nothing seems to me so wild and
bold.
As with one kiss to touch thy blessed
cheek.
But were I loved, as I desire to be.
What is there in the great sphere of the

And range of evil between death and
birth,
That I should fear, were I loved by thee?

The Daily Story
Dollars and Sense
When Samuel Wexford departed this
life by tho aid of a disease with an over
long name and seven attending special
ists, he left to his nephew nnd namesake
his entire fortune, which, since Undo
Samuel was a prudent nn well ns a close
mouthed man, was far moro than nny
ono had ever dreamed ho possessed.
Young Sam Wexford, Bitting in a
shabby llttlo office, waiting for clients,
which somehow seemed prono to overlook
his legal ability, nearly fell over when
he received the news. Hut, having picked
up tho Ink bottle which ho had over
turned in his excitement, lead the brief
tncssago otico more, stuck the point of n
paper knlfo Into his arm to make sura
this was not somo absurd dream, and
found from tho pain of It that ho wob
really awake, he took up his hat nnd
rushed oft to Margaret North,
Margaret lived In the suburbs, so Sam
fished In hh pockets, found he had Just
about enough to take n Inxl out, hailed
one, climbed In, and all (he way out to
Huscmont ho made the chauffeur's life
miserable by sticking his head out tho
window and begging for more speed.
It wnB u wnrm Mny afternoon. Mar
gniet sill on the porch of the hoiiso em
broidering, or mnbe she was darning her
father's nocks.
"Why, Sammy AVfoid!" she crkd,
dropping tho embioldery or the socks
and gazing nt him with marked disap
prove, "What on earth do jou mean,
coming out here nt this time of day, nnd
In it taxi? '
Sam lumbered up I he tcp., nnd, tlcspitu
the fact that the taxi chauffeur nH well
os several of the neighbors on their front
porches could nee quite plainly, he caught
Margaret In his firms.
"Hnng the clients, hong tho law, hang
everything!" bawled Sam. "We don't
havo to wait any longer, Wo can be
married todaj. My Uncle Sam has Just
died out in Colorado, and left mo squll
Uons nnd squlllions of dollars."
Margaret managed to wriggle from
his too ardent embrace. Severely she
smoothed down her hair, and severely
she bade the exuberant Sammy sit down
In a chair.
"Head this'" Ho hauled out tho tele
gram which was the cause of his seem
ing Insanity.
Margaret read It and gasped. "Good
ness, you'ro a rich man, Sammy," said
she.
"I should worry now," said he. "Put
on your bonnet and shawl and we'll go
back In the taxi and bo married."
"We'll do nothing of tho sort," said
she.
"Huh!" said Sammy, quite floored by
her tone. "Well, why not?"
She did not answer at once. Before she
finally spoko sho took a deep breath. 11
oamn forth as a sigh.
"This mnv clmngo your whole life,
Sammy," said she. "Thin fortune may
change your whole outlook on life. It
has happened before. I want to be sure
ou know your mind and nro not doing
anything from impulse. Therefore, we'll
let you try for n. year being a rich man
before wo marry."
"Huh!" said Sammy again. "Oh, I say,
Margaret "
But Margaret was obdurate. I.ong and
fluently did Sammy Wexford arguo for
lmmcdlato marriage.
"l'ou try out your riches for a year
first," sho held out firmly. "You may
havo all these dollars, but 1 have sense.
You wait and see."
At S that evening Sammy left her,
angry, hurt, amazed at her attitude. He
walked glumly back to town, muttering
to himself nil the way as lie went.
"She sas with nil this money I may
meet somo other girl She says she
doesn't Intend for mo to mnko nny mis
takes I'm going to bo sorry for," ho com
plained bitterly to himself as ho went
nlong. "And I wanted to bo married and
go abroad at once. Darn it, who ever
heard of such foolishness? Another girl,
hey?"
Sammy stopped and caught his breath.
Then ho fell to slapping his knee and
laughing immoderately.
"I should worry!" observed Sammy.
Sammy did not go to tho Norths' again
for some time. Indeed, it was u month
before ho appeared. In the meantimo
rumor was linking Sammy Wexford's
name with the beautiful and wealthy Miss
Carruthcrs, daughter of tho street rail
way magnate. Strangely enough, Sammy
himself seemed to enjoy the rumors; nor
did ho deny them; nor did ho hesitate
to be seen much In Miss Carruthers' so
ciety. On this second afternoon Sammy went
out to tho Norths' again lie did not go
In a taxi. He went In his own six-cylinder
car, with a liveried chauffeur on the
front scat beside him.
He drew up with a flourish at the
Norths'. Margaret was asalng plying tho
needle on tho porch. Sammy got out of
the car with great dignity. Also he
walked sedately up tho porch.
"What a long time Blnce jou've been
here," said sho.
Sammy said ho had been very busy.
"At the Country Club?" she naked.
"Quito so," Bald Sammy with heavy
portent.
"I er say, Margaret." said ho at
length. "I want to thank you for what
you did for mo when I was here last
time. That little matter of not letting
me loso my head, you know."
Margaret looked a little frightened.
"Er hang It! I don't know Just how to
put It," said he, "but it was mighty fine
of you to to make mo realize what riches
really meant, you know, I er "
"Oh. yes. I knew you didn't know your
own mind then." she said lightly, "I
thought it would make a difference. Are
you trying to tell me about Miss Car
ruthers and yourself?"
"Er yes. Quito so," said Sammy pon
derously, "We're engaged, you know. I
thought you'd want to be the first to er
congratulate me,"
"I do," said Bhe with forced warmth.
"Thank you," said Sammy. "I wanted
you to know, and to thank you er you
understand. I must run along now. Good
by."
The car whizzed away. But at the
first corner it stopped and Sammy got
out. He dodged throuerh a yard, shot
across an open field, and came by a
flank movement to the porch. He tip
toed up to It. Behind the vines he heard
unrestrained sobbing. It seemed to be a
sound he desired, for he grinned broadly,
and then bounded up the steps. In a
minute he had her, struggling, In his
arms,
"Cut it out, dear, cut It out," he was
pleading, "I'm not engaged to Miss Car
ruthers. I never was and never will be.
I wanted to throw a scare into you."
"You have," she sobbed.
"So you've got sense at last, have you?
Well, will you marry me right away?'
he urged.
"Any time, Sammy," she wept- con
tritely on his shoulder.

A PRETTY TAOBED BLOUSE
UNIQUE DESIGN
Uses and Abuses
of the Frying Pan
1 There nre two methods of frlng
deep frying and shallow frying, I
S. Shallow frying Is suitable for sail- i
sages, pancakes nnd mcaU This method
Is most commonly used nnd very llttlo
fat Is necessary.
3. Deep frying is sultablo for rissoles,
cioquets, fritters, fish. Bwoetbreads, po
tato chips, etc. Sufficient fat must bo
used to cover whatever Is being fried,
and tho articles must bo coated with egg
and crumbs, Hour or batter. A shallow
stowpan with a wlro frying basket will
bo found a great convenience
4. Success depends upon tho tompera
nturo of the fat. When n. faint blue
smoke nrlses from tho fat It is hot
enough and Is ready for use.
K. If tho fat fizzles and bubbles before
adding anything, somo water Is evidently
present. This must bo evaporated and
tho fat perfectly still before using it.
The New Blouses
Tlicro nro very few of tho newest
blouses which do not show a touch of
black on them somewhere, whether It be
on the collars and cuffs, at tho throat or
embroidered on the sleeves. The most
attractive blouses are trimmed very sim
ply. Novelty buttons and velvet bands
at tho neck tako tho place of the elabo
rately lace trimmed creations of last sea
son. The Valenciennes insertions and ac
cordion plaited ruffllngs which used to
worry the home laundress are gone for
ever Sheerness of fabrics and elegance
of line havo successfully replaced all the
unnecchsaiy giuudeur of those days.
One dainty little blouse Is made of tho
season's favorite material Georgette
crepe. The embroidery Is done In black
floss In the attractive shadow stitch. This
looks something like outline stitch on the
outsUe, and shows through the thin
blouso In a very pretty manner Flesh
pink embroidery is .combined with this,
The high collar is held In place by nar
row Boutacho braid, which ties at the
throat This is finished oft with twd of
the buttons which close the front of the
blouse. A vest effect la given to tho
blouse by the small tucks which aro to be
seen In the front. The cuffs are fastened
to the rest of the sleeve by means of a
tiny row of hemstitching. The whole
thing Is so charmingly simple that it
needs very little trimming1.

I was tcrilbly tempted to laugh, but I

Street Suits
The spiing suits aic nlirndy beginning
to chango In style, and differ bo radically
from the ndvanco models that tho woman
who has token her tlmo about making her
decision will probably not regret It. For
Instance, thero nro a. great many whlto
suits being shown sit this time. Cordu
roys, serges, gabardines, moires, etc., aro
seen In all sljlc.i In tho stores, and even
appear on tho sticet.
A very attractive whllo polo cloth sports
coat was made lnrgn enough to lit over
tho street suit, loi nulo wear. It had
broad patch pockets on cich nldo of the
coat, which was cut three-quarter length,
flaring out, of course, at the bottom.
Hovers finished off tho shawl collar in
front, and these were revcislble, buttoning
up close to tho chin when necessary. The
price was $19.75. This also camo In moss
green, penu do chamois, and white cordu

Another handsome ult wns mndo of
battleship gray gabaidine, with a deep
blue collurand embroidered motifs on tho
pointed coat. This pointed effect, by tho
way, Is seen on ever) thing. Tho skirt
wiih made with a panel of plaits In fiont
and back, nnd It sold for $15.
Ono good-looking suit was shown by n
large Mnrktt street stoic, i.nd .ittructrd

In navy blue nnd gictn. with a nhurt coat
of bluo hllk poplin. The coat was so
abbreviated that It was scaicely visible,
except for the beaded tassels which ac
cented tho drapery at the buck. A dainty
