the- need of pulling up and economizing,
fcrid only now that our resources have
been taxed do many of us realize the
Virtue of thrift ns practiced by the Swiss,
the Dutch, the ltelRluiis and the In
habitants of many other parts of tha
Continent,
In this connection It Is Interesting to
read what a correspondent has to nay:,
"To set apart one particular day on which
to focus the popular Interest In ft widely

J$ to accomplish muui toward the realiza
tion of Its reform. Conservation of na
tional resources and Individual powers Is
the crying need of tho hour. The moral
ffect of collective effort, such oh tho celc
bratlon of Thrift Day calls forth, will go
a long way toward remedying n national
thortcomlng. It makes us sit up and
iako notice.
"But tho real persuasive argument
Comes from another boui-co. Whether we
like It or not, hero Is u virtue that is
lelng forced upon us. As the saying goes,
necessity is tho mother of Invention, and
by the Name Ronealogy circumstance Is
the parent of reform. It la the ever

whether the Invitation to the Br, and men
should read the same way? I would !ln to

talking machine and some pood records. Would
these do for dam-Ins? What light refreshments
would be nice? MAItV
The Invitations tn men and girls should
be worded in exactly tho same way, as
follows.
Miss JIary Brown Wind
requests the pleasure of
MIsr (or Mr.v as tho case may boVs
company nt a small Informal dance
on Thursday evening, Jlarch the eighth,
at eight o'clock.
As you will have only thirty persons, a
talking machine should give you loud
enough music for dancing; having an or
chestra would make too much of an Infor
mal affair.
Ught sandwiches of cheese and nuts, or
deviled chicken or ham, or lettuce, with Ice
cream, cakes and candles, would be quite
sufficient. One kind of sandwich would do.
A bowl of fruit lemonade would be nice to
have while your guests are dancing, as they
are apt to become overheated and thirsty.

You should never have allowed the atten

to marry tho young man. If ho can secure
kisses for the risking he will not take the
trouble to change tho state of affairs. Some

of other men, and yet they are too selfish
to suggest a condition which would entail
an effort on their part to support a wife
Your mother W .quite right. After claiming

Why Madge Decided to Keep Katie
I
AltOHl! unusually early .Monday morn
ing. 1 wanted to ln in tho kitchen when
Katie came, If she rnmn back at all HI10
might bo so, angry, I lold lnyrelf, at being
barred from the apartment by the janitor
the day befoto that Mid would never return.
Would I be glad or sorry If hhe did not
eome? l-'rnnkly, 1 did not know, on the
one hand. I did not know jtt:t how I
was to get along without lief. Dicky's
mother was tn arrive In a I. tile more than
twentj-fnur bonis. Then In n week' began
my t-orlfM of talks to Ibo hlstoty rluVs
of the Lotus Sluily I'lub I needpil a. good
deal of time to oulllnn the tourso I was
to give If evrr I needed Katie. I needed
her during the week before nif.
Itut. 011 the other baud, the knowledge
that had mine to me the day before that
Katie had been innitrnglug lu my trunk,
and bad tiiki'ii my prl7.pi! la wtlllete from
its rase hail been a distinct shock True,
she Imil put tlir ninampnl back, but I could
not decide whether kIio hnd rclurueil It
from frlcht on some one's sudden entrance
or whether she never had intended to steal
It nt all.
If she wete a thief at heart, of course.
I could not keep her. Hut if M10 wen-,
simply 1 urioiiM and mrddllUR well those
traits ttcro annoying. 1 rellected, but
Katie's good qualities certainly outweighed
them.
Willi a sudden thought I took the la val
llero from its rate and fastened it about
my neck, the beautiful blacl. opal pendant
testing outside "my simple bluo morning
gown. I Knew that Katie would not fall
to luiilnj Hit appearance, for I never woio
the ornament iitilirn I went out In the eve
ning, nod then only with my piettlest
gowtiM. She. of course, would rcullzc Unit
I bad dlscnverrd her tampering with the
case I had seen enough "f the mental
workings of thcn alien girls In my teaching
days to Know that slio would betray her
self In Mime manner.
As I walked Into the kitchen. T heatd
Hie sound of a key being turned cautiously
In the loci:, and I knew that Katie bad
leturtied. Of- i-oiti'M', i-ho supposed us to
lie still asleep, and this was tho reason
for the quietness of her movements. Ilia
knob turned, but the door refused to move,
as I had not yet drawn the bolt I bad
.il.pped the day before. 1 heard a multlril
exclamation and I bun led to the Moor,
dtow the boll anil tliievv the door open.
I'otne in, Katie" I strove to make un
voice roiilinl. "The door was bolted, that
Is all."
Katie rainn In, pale, wlde-eyeM utterly
unlike her usual noisy, i-lieerful iilf. She
looked at inn and tried to smile, then rhe
caught sight of the' la valllero around my
neeji. She lifted ,1 shaking linger and
pointed to It
"Why you got dot on'."' she demanded.
"Why do you ask that, Katie?'' I leturnecl.
speaking very slowly, and looking her
Mtttarrly III the eyes.
Her answer was to throw herself on her
knees by my hide and grasp my hand In
hers.
HOW KATII-: KXPI.AINS
"Oh, Missis firnham, pices forgive me I
no mean steal locket, I never steal noting,
but I link ll so pretty, I want to get me
one. so I sneak one day watch vnu put It

She began to howl, and I put my band on
her shoulder and shook her.
"Oct up, Katie," 1 said sternly, "and
stop this nonsense. Nobody Is going to
put you In Jail. Hut I am going to scold
you. Don't you know how dangerous It
Is to meddle with things? Many women
would feel that jou meant to steal the

and would discharge yon.'

Oh, you so good !" Tho girl's face vvns

about her that appealed In me. 1 deter
mined to give her nnother trial,
"No, Katlo, I will not discharge you
Ibis time, hut you must promise that so
long as you live you will never' mfddla
with anything that does not belong to
yon."
"No, 1 never, I promise, See, 1 swear."
"Vety well, Katie. Wash your eyes
now nnd get breakfast, We have a loot
day before us, and there la much to do,
You know Mr. Graham's mother comes
tomorrow, and I want to have everything
nlco for her "
"Yon, I know. I feex so nice. You
seo." Slio smiled through her tears, with
the familiar little phrase 1 had grown to
look for.
I had turned toward the door, when
a sudden thought mndo me turn back
again.
"I think you said you wanted to get a
la valllete, Katie. I ought to tell you that
(hey cost n gteat deal of money. I
wouldn't like jou" to bo disappointed about
It."
"Oh. no. Missis Orahani," Katie caroled
enthusiastically. "I know a place where
nlco one, almost like yours, only big red
stmie. I get for four toller feefly rents.
Dot not mooch. J get It for myself
Mister piesent." She laughed gleefully.
I went Into tho living room smiling.
Dicky, lu his bathrobe nnd slippers, was
crossing the. hall to the bathioom for
his morning tub.
"What's the Joke, Madge?"
"Walt until you nte properly clothed
and I'll tell you," 'I returned gayly.
When we met nt breakfast Dicky iftlsed
bis eyebrows at Katie's entrance, but
made no comment until slio had left the
room.
Dli'KY UOI'.llOWS KATIK
"1 see the prodigal Iihs lettitneil," he
said, attacking' his ginpnfrttlt vigorously.
"I'ouldn't you srrcw up your rourage to the
point of firing her, or did she put up too
pitiful n plea?"
"O Dicky, I know she never meant to
steal it." 1 said warmly. "Sim said she
Just wanted to look nt It. so she could get
one like 11." I mlded ilemuiely.
"tier, 'that's 11 good one." Dicky retoiled
c.vnlcall. "What did you tell her?"
"That It iost a gieat deal of money," I
went on smiling, "bul Katie asatned me
that It ibdn'i, that she could get one almost
like It, only with a big red stone, for four
dollars and fifty cents, and that she Intends
to buy It for htrself for an ICnster pres
ent." ,
"Well. I'll be." Dicky threw back his
head and roared. "Hut, honestly, Madge.
u don't believe that yarn of hers, do
ou?"
"Of course T do." I leturned indignantly.
"Why, I wouldn't keep her in the house a
minute If I thought she were a thief."
"Well, it's perhaps Just as well you didn't
fire her. I've. got a chance this week to
do some vvotk on that portinlt of her as
Poland, that I have planned for so long.
1 'an yet let her come over to the studio this
morning for three or four hours?"
"O Dicky I" I gasped, dismayed. "I don't
sco how I can this morning. Your mother
Is coming tomorrow, you know, and I've
got to get ready for her."
"What In the world hare you got to do
that can't be done In two or thteo hours?"
Dicky demanded, irritably.
I mailo a quick decision, t knew that
Dicky wtisi utterly unreasonable to ask for
Katie's services at such a time. Hut I knew
also that, like most men, he had no Idea of
the time which housework takes, or the
anxiety every housekeeper has to have her
domain spick and span for tho Inspection of
11 woman guest. Tcrhaps we could com
promise the matter. At any ralo, I would
not ilsk a quarrel about It.
"You nre talking on a subject of which
you know nothing," I said, making my voice
gay and bantering, "but I'll tell yon what
I'll do. I'll lot you havo Katie for two
hours this morning, but not a minute mors.
1 really can't do it, dear." "
"Well, I suppose that will have to do,"
grumbled Dicky, "but 1 must say 1 don't
think you are very accommodating."
Any day would have done for the paint
ing, hut I told myself with n. sigh that
Dlcky'a selfishness was something I could
not hope to cure. I could only endure It.

f DIARY OF A WELL-DRESSED GIRL
IF
A sport lint for spring.
I WAS mad through and through at myself
for letting dad see that 1 was disap
pointed when he said that nn Important
case would keep us from going to Palm
Itearli this season. When bo generously
suggested that mother and 1 go without
libit 1 wanted to walk over red-hot cosls or
wear a haircloth shirt to do penance for
my selfishness.
Itut mother rose to the occasion and
flatly said that we'd do nothing of (he sort,
that there would bo no pleasure In going
away without him. She followed this by
saying that she knew the only reason I
liked to go South In tho winter was the
excitement of getting summer clotlres so
long in advance of the season. 1 could have
bugged her for being so tactful.
Dad beamed nt mo and said: "If that's
all she wants let her go ahead and buy
some summer togs. I'll gladly furnish the
wheiewlthal. I was afraid she bud her
heart set on the trip."
So I slatted light In trimming spring
hats to "make good" mollier's statement.
Last enr I made the discovery that one
needs mote spoit bats than anything else.
Mine soon got failed and shabby looking,
and it kept me poor buying new ones. I
snttmnly vowed to have a goodly collection
this enr and to mnko most of them myself.
1 bought two good-looking sliaw bats, one
n mushroom of medium size and the other
a wlde-bthnmed sun hat.
The mushroom Is of brown straw of a
pliable quality, woven with a rough sur
face. I deckled to trim the bowl-shaped
ctown with a hand of embroidery done with
coloied worsteds. For this I selected soft
tones of blue, green, red and yellow, nnd
effectively combined them In a conventional
design.
Then 1 bought a tnssel-Uke ornament of
black coq-plumage. with touches of green
and bronze, and bung it from the very
center of the crown, It droops gracefully
over the brim In a most becoming way.
The shade bat Is of natural manlla straw,
and I bought some challls, In a Persian de
sign, and narrow green faille ribbon to
trim It.
