iiccn staircd. the friendliness in her
had been made Io feed on lonclinexi.
And Anne had the traaedy of her
mother' it svi'cWr to xhadote her life
in addition to all the reitt. When
ihe irM eighteen her father decided
that .ihe ought to he married, and in
his high-handed leay selected a man
for her and eipccted Anne to fall
in teith hii plans immediately.

' V had drawn nearer to Anne uucou
seiously. and quite suddenly found bis
fate near to hers. The impression that
Ills kindness had made upon her was
swallowed up in a revulsion of feeling.
She saw only his gleaming ejes. and the
looseness of his mouth. That terrible
feeling of distrust that she hod felt the
first time she lind ever seen him was
tilling her with loathing, that fear that
ho would touch her made her mouth dry
and her bauds tremble.
He put one of his hands on her
boulder nnd Anne made no move to
sn
ako it off. She sat limp, waiting.
I "How nbout it? be asked, impatient
1 of her silence.
"I must think." she said breathlessly,
I "I must have time to think it over."
She felt the piossure of the hand on
her shoulder lessen, and she drew n long
breath of relief.
"You'io nfraid of me." he laughed.
Anne met his look with oes that
glittered like 11 captured bird's. "Oh.
no." .ho denied, forcing a smile to hcr
lips. "I'm tired," she said, her lips
trembling in spile of herself. Her
thoughts were jumbled: she could not
think clearly. What she wished more
than nnj thing in the world at thnt mo
ment was thnt he would leave her to
herself.
"You're all In." he said, rising.
"I'm going now." lit' put his bund in
his pocket as he spoke nnd drew out a
black wallet. He pulled a couple of
'tills out of this and held them nut to
nor.
"Settle for the book tomorrow, nnd
don't worry any more about ir." lie
said kindly. And then, as she stood be
fore him without making n move to take
the money, he took her hand, put the
bills in it. and closed her fingers.
Although he made no move to kiss her
Anne felt ns bound ns though she had

next morning with that heavy fcclieg

thnt she could not shake off. Then she

You need some fresh air," she said
as kindly as she could.
Anne met the postman as she stoppt.l
out on the porch and he handed her a
little bunch of mail. Xo mail over carac
to the Carters that wns exciting. Farm
journals were delivered, advertisements,
once in a while a business letter with a
typewritten address, but this morning
a square envelope addressed to Miss
Anne Cnrter made Anne suddenly open
her eyo.
She slipped tlie letter into her waist
nud went back to band the papers to
Aunt Ma Oh a. .Thou as soon ns thc was
out of sight of the house she opened
the envelope. It (ontained a short note 1
from Rill Snyder saying that he had been 1
railed out of town on business, nnd 1
would come and see her as soon ns he ,
returned. Anne folded up the single
sheet of paper and put it back into the
envelope. Her heart gave n little leap,
she felt immeasurably happier, the sun
was brighter, everything seemed differ
ent. Quito suddenly, too. she knew that
he could never .take that money for the
book. She must get some money in some
other way : she must earn some.
She bought a cheap envelope in n
store, and folding the monev that Hill
Snyder had given her in a sheet of pa
llor, she put it into the envelope, ad
dressed it. and with a little sigh-of re
lief dropped it into the box at the post
office. Bill would not receive, it until
lie returned, and in the meantime any
thing might happen. With the sublime
self-confidence of youth Anne felt that
something must happen; at any rate,

StalnijOn Skirt
To the lidllor of Woman's rasci
Dear Madam Please let me know
through your Interesting column what
tnkes grease -stulns out of a woolen
serge skirt. ALICBSvOOD. ,
Place a blotting paper on each side
of the stnln nnd prc.s It with n hot
Iron until It nlisorhs the grease. If tills
does not remove nil of It, apply mag
nesia thickly t6 the Main and leave It
until It becomes moist and gummy,
Hrush It off cnrefully. Try tiils appli
cation if there is still some grease left.
Removing Stains
To fnr V.dilor of Woman' faae:
Dear Madam Will you please ad
vise me through Ihe columns of your
valued paper It there Is nny way of
removing, perspiration stains from nn
Alice blue satin dress? This material,
by the way, shows every water spot.
Therefore, I believe a "dry-cleaning"
method ought to be used. The color is
neither light nor dark.
A DAILY RBADKIt.
If you cannot use n liquid ou this
material I am afraid there Is no way
of removing the stain. Perspiration
stains nro very hard to remove, es
pecially from silk or satin. You might
try making a pasto of bicarbonate of
soda with a little water and applying
this to both sides of the stnin. This is
not (tiite a liquid. Let It remain until
the effervescence stops, then remove the
rest by wiping witli u wet cloth. If
there nre wnter stains left jou can re-
tnem py wetting n piece of the
ivitu luucwnrm water, placing It
upon the stnin nnd pressing with u
moderate Iron until It is dry.
Her Curls Stick Up
To the Editor of Woman's Paoe:
Dear Madam I nm a girl sixteen
years of age and am considered good
looking. There Is oue thing thnt spoils
my looks and thnt is this: I have beau
tiful black curls that hang over my
shoulders. Xow, I wenr bangs nnd they
nre curly and stick up. What I want
you to do, drnr madam, is to tell me
what to do to make them stay down.
Please tell me what to do, as I would
like them to stay down.
A LEDOKlt 11EADKH.
You can get pomade or linir prepara
tions that will make your hair lie down.
There arc things of tills kind sold in
drug stores or In the toilet nrticlcs de
partments of the largo stores. If your
hair is naturally curly you can make It
go the way you wnnt it to by wetting
it nnd tying a ribbon around your Jieail
when you go to bed nt night. Try
plastering your curls down mid see if
they won't stay.

HE TIPPED THE
TWO CENTS EVER Y NIGHT
And Was Surprised because He Continued to Get Good Scrv-
ice The World Today Expects to Be Paid for
Every Bit of Ordinary Politeness
HK WAS a very good waiter, and his
manners were just ns careful ns his
service. When the solitary illncr whom
he had just served paid his cheek he
added a tip just two cents. The waiter
thanked bliu as graciously as If the tip
had been a dollar and put the pennies
carefully away Iu his pocket. The dlucr
appeared nt the same time the following
evening.
"Hcmembcr me?" he asked,
"I don't believe 1 do, sir," answered
the waiter apologetically. "You see 1
wait ou so mauy people here " Hut
his service wns just ns good as, It had
beeu the night before. The tip was the
same, too; two cents. The waiter
bowed his thanks just as before.
The man came again the next evening.
' and asked thcaine question. This time
the waiter admitted thnt he did remem
ber him. Again the guest received every
attention, nud again his two-cent tip
was accepted with a smile and n polltf
word of thanks.
On the fourth evening, after having
paid his check and bestowed the two
pennies the guest called the wnitcr back.
"This Is my last dinner here," le rc
ninrked. "I'm leaving town tomor
row." "I'm sorry, sir." the waiter replied.
"I've enjoyed waiting on jou."
"Do you really mean that?" ex
claimed the diner. "Well, you're the
tlrst wniter I ever saw who would ac
cept a small tip like that without show
ing disgust. You re the tirst one i ve
ever known wild would go ou giving
careful service and attention for that
price." And he gave the astonished
waiter a dollar for every penny that he
had tipped him.
IT SOUNDS like a fairy story, doesn't
'it? Hut it happens to be perfectly
true. The pity of It Is thnt it should
sound too good to be true. The fact Is
so typical of the times in which we live.
At one time It wouldn't have been such a
marvel to hear of u persnn who wns
willing to be grncious without being
paid for it. Nowadays" anybody who
gives even a bit of courtesy with service
of nnj. kind is reinnrkablc, even If he
does get tipped liberally for it.
People don't consider a grncious man
ner ns a mntter of course any more. If
that is expected, it must be paid for. A
clerk in tlie outside office of n large
corporation recently illustrated this con
dition of affairs. S"ie hud been going

Early Peas
Peas are mm of the earliest garden
crops and often too much space r"l.
live y is devoted to them. For most eft,
gnrdens one quart of seed peas will h.
sutUeient. This will plant, from 20Q t
300 feet of row. according to the'varir ?
of pen. Preferably, secure a pint earn
of two varieties rather than one quart
of on,, variety. This is the advice o the
I nitcd States Department of Agrlcnl.
ture garden specialists.
Tlie first essential to success in nc
growing t) land which has been dcenlv
cultivated and made mellow. Peas miko
n quick growth and so plenty of manure
or icriiiwcr s uotiiu ue worlsed into the
soil. In planting, in tlie north, open a
broad furrow about four inches in
depth, usiug a lino and mnking the far
row with the corner of the hoe. fcat
tor the seeds broadcast In this furrow
at the rate of nbout one seed to ever?
inch. The seeds should not he in a di.
rect line, but scattered over a space two
or three inches in width. Cover anil
slightly round up the soil over the row
The first planting can bo innde just
ns soon as the round can be worked
and the second planting should follow
ten days or two weeks later. Immedl
ntely after planting n support consist
ing of wire netting, brush or u trc,
of strings upotr stakes should be pro
vided. Tlie early varieties do not grow
very tnll, but do much better if thev
have supports. The Intter are essential
for the tall -growing varieties. The cul
tivation of poas is practically t,he same
us tlutt of any other garden crop, fre.
quent shnl'ow stirring of the soil being
the keynote of success.
