The Hounds of Heaven
THIS la Monday and I had to go back to
school. I hopped Into the auto with
Levy after breakfast when ho was going for
my father. Then away we all went, I on the
back seat with Itowdy. I had Levy take
me to my houso first and thon go after my
father. Howdy and I rambled to Bell's and
Lunny's and I climbed the tree and sang all
I knew about the burglar and the slim sally
and the man a hundred years old and hi
dog and Rowdy's fleas and how happy
I am.
Then the shutter opened nnd Bell looked
out and about the amotlmo Lunny camo to
the bottom of the tree with a newspaper In
one hand and a cigar In tho other and Howdy
Jumped all over him and tore his newspaper
and made him drop his cigar and ho Just
laughed. Bell put on a kimono and came
downstairs and sat on the bottom step and
Lunny leaned on tho post and made me tell
them all about It. They nearly laughed their
heads oft about tho slim sally and about the
fleas, too, but they laugned tho hardest about
the man Who Is a hundred years old. Belt
said when they had stopped laughing, "Do
you suppose we could get tho social sen Ice
to do anything for him?" Lunny said no,
because he llvcs'out of town and people who
llvo out of town havo no business being poor
and old and neglected. That Is what Lunny
said, but I do not see why they havo not If
they want to be.
Then tho school bell rang and Bell kissed
mo and Howdy and I flew to get to school In
time. After school I went homo and stinted
my burglar. At least, I started to shave

that I went to see the old man, but before I
got to his house I saw him standing In tho
mlddlo of the road leaning on his cane.
I said to him, "How are you today?" But
he chewed tobacco and didn't say anything.
I said. "You nre out for a walk. I see " He
said, "I am a hundred years old " I said,
"You look 1L" He said, "Are you tho little
girl who camo to seo mo n long time ago?"
I said, "No, I am Patsy Klldaro and I nm
Irish and proud of It and I came to see you
yesterday." Ho said, "Did your dog whip
my dog?" I Bald, "You bet he did." He
said, "Then you are the little girl and I
have como to meet you. I am a hundred
years old." I said, "I was going to your
house, so turn around." He did so nnd then
he began to move about an Inch with each
step and he said. "I nm a hundred years
old." I said, "You will be two hundred be
fore you get home" But we finally got
thpre.
He sat on tho porch and I sat on the step
nml rtowdv and his doc played and I said,
"How docs it feel to bo so old?" Ho Just
chewed tobacco nnd said, "I ara a hundred
years old." I said, "I havo got that by
heart. Can't you say something else?"
Then all of a sudden he twisted his neck and
a far-off look camo Into his eyes and he
seemed to bo listening. I said, "Do you
hear something' I don't." He said. "Xo,
you can't hear them till you are a hundred
years old. I hear the hounds of heaven
running across the sky. You ought to hear
them." I said, "I am glad of that, for It
proes that Howdy can go to heaven. Are
they playing with the angels?" Ho said,
"Xo, they are hunting." I said, "Hunting
what?" He said, "Human souls" That
Beared me so that I Jumped. I said, "You
are cracked In tho bean. If you hear
nTivfhimr It is not the hounds of heaven "
Then I nxed some crackers and milk for
him and went away, for It was getting dark
I did not hear any hounds of heaven run
ning across the sky on the way home,
though I stopped and listened two or three
times.

nistory of a Pie
To f n Editor 0 Woman's Paoe:
Dear Madam I tried to make a few pies last
wsek, but when they were baked they turned out
too bard. I wish you would tell me throuch
your valuable column. If you can, how the crust
should be made, what I should use, lencth of
time In oven, whether latter should be hot,
warm or medium. If I knead tho dough for tho
trust very Ions how thick the crust should be,
and If I should use anythlns In pie plates. Should
I do anythlns to them while they are baklne?
In fact, please publish a short history of ple
saaklns, I wish you would also tell me how to
jarspars the nillns for a sweat potato pis.
II. M.
For a good, rich, flaky pie crust use the
following ingredients: Three cupfuls of
Sour, one and a quarter' cupfuls of lard or
shortening, two-thirds of a cupful of Ice
water, one-half teaspoonful of salt and a
tMspoonful of sugar. Sift the flour, sugar

Bride's Trousseau
To the Editor 0 Woman's Pane:
Dear Madam Will you kindly Insert In your
valuable column the proper trousseau for a win
ter brldeT How many dresses and what kind
and what sort of a suit Is appropriate for dress
and traveling? Also, will ou kindly tell me a
trousseau for a sprln? bride? Is It necessary to
have a serge frock In the winter trousseau?
11. a. n.
A bride's trousseau depends largely on
what her circumstances will be after mar
riage. If one Is to live simply and do a
small amount of entertaining one would
not need as much as one who will be ex
pected to entertain and be entertained a
great deal.
For the usual comfortable, well-to-do
bride one would need about eight of each
article of lingerie, a kimono, slippers, dress
ing gown, eight pairs of stockings, a pair of
black shoes, one of dark tan walking shoes,
one pair of black evening slippers, sergo
frock, a georgette or taffeta afternoon frock,
one semlevenlng dress, which could be worn
In the afternoon; that Is, it should have
sleevs uid be open In front at the neck;
a dressy suit of velvet or cloth with bodice
to match for teas nnd calling, furs, a sports
suit for traveling and shopping, a sports
hat and a dressy hat, a topcoat, which may
be used for street and evening both, and If
not, an evening coat would also bo re
quired. Also, waists, gloves, collars ties,
handkerchiefs and all the Innumerable lit
tle things a woman needs In the way of a
finishing touch to a costume.
It is not absolutely necess'ary to have
a serge dress. The trosseau should also
Include linen for the household and table,
such as sheets, pillow cases, bolster cases,
blankets, spreads, comfortables, tablecloths,
napkins, doilies, centerpieces, towels, bath
towels, washcloths, tea towels and kitchen
towels,
A spring trousseau would only differ In
that furs and a heavy suit would not be re
quired and a sports suit would take the
place of a dressy suit, as there are not re
ceptions and teas to attend In the summer.
White skirts, gingham and muslin frocks
would take the place of the serge frock and
high shoes would not be needed, but low
pumps and white buckskins.
According to the amount of entertaining
done, the young bride should have from two
to four evening dresses and perhaps silver
or gold slippers to wear with some of the
frocks Instead of always black.
Twenty Persons Want the Dogs
To f)i Editor of lfoman's Page:
Dear Madam My mother said I could have

jour paper It It la a small dos with short hair.
We will be very good to It.
I am nine years old. Ther,e are no other chll.

V. M.
More than twenty men, women and chil
dren have stepped forward to ask for the
two little dogs whose mistresses sought
homes for them through the columns of the
Woman's Exchange last Tuesday, Half the
letters were turned over to M. It. and the
other half to Mrs. M. V. G. They will com
municate with the "winners."
Above Is printed a letter coming from a
little girl who seemed to long very much for
one of the little dags. It Is only one case

ORDS fail to adequately describe this mar
velous instrument.
You must hear it!
Can you imagine sitting down in a par
lor and hearing a piano play by itself play
as if Paderewski, Bauer, Carreno or Gabrilo-
witsch were playing for you as if they were
actually present in person playing with every minute degree of
expression for which each is famous! Imagine this and you have
a faint conception of one feature of the Duo-Art Pianola. '
It has truly been termed "the most wonderful invention of
the age." Technicians tell us that the average pianist uses about
seven different variations of tone volume. The Duo-Art has
forty-eight. Accuracy of reproduction is complete.
Then,- another feature of the Duo-Art is the ability to play
it as an ordinary player-piano without pumping. And as a
piano, the names of the pianos testify as to their elegance for
hand playing.
You must hear the Duo-Art! ,
Why not drop in for a few minutes. and let us give you a
personal demonstration? We will gladly do so.
The Duo-Art is made in the following pianos:
