"Their Married Life

"Will it be all right for me to clean
those shelves this morning, ma'am?"
-aid Nora, poking her head into the
llvingroom, where Helen was basking
in the sun, reading a magazine story.
"Yes, Nora, go right ahead." she
(■aid, raising her head for a moment,
ruid then going back to the story,
which had reached an exciting part.
"Be careful. though. about the
things that aro hanging in the closet."
Nora hardly heard the injunction,
so anxious was she to get Rt the
shelves in question. They were her
pet abomination, and, as a rule. Helen
\rould have rushed to help her re
move the things from the closet, but
somehow or other she felt lazy this
morning. and without another
thought had decided to allow Nora
to struggle along with the whole
thing.
Finishing the story after a while
ahe went into her own room and
tossed the silk comfortable off the
bed while she threw the covers back
to air. Somehow the morning had
(Tone to her head, and she felt a little
reckless about anything that might
Happen. That was usually the time
in her experience when things actual
ly did happen. But what could pos
sibly happen, she thought gaily. It
was too nice a day for that. She
really must tlnd something to do that
would take her out in the sunshine.
She could take Winifred downtown
for the shoes she needed, that was
just the thing.
Nora was still busy with the closet
In the hall, and was curiously still
about it. Looking out Helen saw that
Mie was not there. The closet had
1 een emptied of all its things and the
contents dumped on the bed in Wini
l red's room. Winifred, who had been
busy playing paper dolls on the floor,
bid disappeared, and Helen, wonder
ing what had happened, went out to
the kitchen.
"W'hat are you doing in here, ,
baby," she said, pushing open the.
door of the butler's pantry to find !
■Winifred bending over something
Nora was looking at over by the win
dow. Nora looked up, her eyes wide |
and frightened.
"What's the matter, Nora? lias
Anything happened?"
"Oh, Mrs. Curtis." began Nora. "I
nm so sorry, but I couldn't help it,
honestly I couldn't."
The Gown Kutaed by a Smudge or Oil
Helen had crossed the room and was 1
examining the thing that lay limply j
over Nora's knee. It was lier best ,
evening gown, the one she had seen
down town in the window. It had
been caught up in a sheet and hung :
away in the hall closet. Over the
front breadth was an ominous darkj
st Un that smelled peculiarly.
"That oil I was going to use on my ,
dust cloth, ma'am." groaned Nora, j
"1 had it up on the shelf and when Ii
waa taking down Mr. Curtis' dress:
suit the hanger caught and pulled it
ov e•
".Co. ma'm. T was just going to use
it.' Nora was weeping noisily, and j
rfft*r a moment's reflection Helen |
li.dn't the heart to say anyifting
more. With a sigh she turned away.
"Don't cry any more, Nora," she
said, turning to comfort the heart
broken girl. Helen knew that Nora
u. s deeply sincere, and as there was j
n«i nee« 4 ol' caving aljout spilled milk,
sho to'liave the girl miserable.!
•'Finish the closet as quickly as |
possible, and then get out Miss Wini
fred's things. I am going to take her
downtown."
Xora proceeded with the business;
••I the moment, wiping her eyes every ]
no'.v and then and looking mournfully]
at the gown that Helen had thrown j
over the foot of the bed in the room j
w ere all the other things had been
pl, ced.
A'inifred was prancing around. >
an.'doua to get out in the air and light.

THURSDAY EVENING,
land as Nora released her she bounded
into Helen's room with a little scream
jof delight. Helen could not help
j smiling at the child's enthusiasm,
I Somehow it made her feel better, and
j when Nora came in with the dress
j made up into a neat package she
smiled almost like her old self and
Nora eagerly returned it.
"Don't worry about it, Nora," she
said kindly. "I think probably 1 can
have it cleaned. Anyway It will give
me an excuse to have a new gown."
Helen did not mean what she said,
but she was rewarded by the look of
relief that spread over Nora's homely
features.
At the cleaner's, a little specialty
' shop in the forties, where Helen fre
quently took things, she waited with
her heart in her mouth while the
I package was unwrapped and the dress
i held up to view.
The woman exclaimed as she ex
amined the spot:
| "What a shame! I hardly think It
j will come out."
She took the dress with her into
the back of the shop and returned in
i a few minutes, followed by a young
! man.
I "What was it you spilled on It,
'madam?" he inquired politely.
"Furniture oil." explained Helen.
! "Do you think ii will come out?"
He shook his head dubiously.
| "I hardly think so, at any rate It
1 would leave a stain of some kind."
i 'What would you advise me to do
j about it?" said Helen. Once more
1 she was beginning to feel depressed.
Only s."> to Have It Made Over
The woman who had been examin
ing the gown looked tip suddenly.
"We could repair it for you so that
iit would never be noticed, if you care
Ito leave it," she volunteered,
r "Oh, could you: I had on idea you
'did things like that here."
[ "Oh, yes, madam; we alter all the
| gowns we sell and it would be very
! little trouble to do this."
! "What would you do'."' said Helen,
' picking up the dress. "Insert a new
: front?"
"We could do that, or else we could
; take out the front breadth and insert
some accordeon pleated chiffon and
drape the other up."
Helen hesitated. She hated to have
the dress altered in case she did not
; like it after nil.
"Like this gown in the window,"
'she said, noticing Helen's hesitation,
I "you see it would be quite a simple
, matter to make a skirt exactly like
that. The style is much newer."
Helen examined the skirt of the
! little gown that the woman brought
in and hung up on a hook.
"Why, yes, I like that very much,
' and you think mine could be made
i to look just the same?"
"I know it, madam." said the obllg
i ing woman. "We do a great deal of
j this kind of work. 1 am sure you will
be pleased."
"All right, 1 think I'll have you fix
it for me." said Helen, pulling out
! one of her cards. "And you deliver
I things of course? How much will
I that be?"
"Five dollars, including the ma
terial.' said the little woman briskly.
Helen thought that was very rea
sonable. The gown was soiled any
| way, and the cleaning alone would
I have cost less than two, and now
she was goirils to have the skirt* t*l
i tered, so that It would look almost
new.
Winifred skipped along happily by
! her side as she went out of the store.
The sun seemed to be brighter than
ever, and after all. everything hap
pens for the best, thought Helen to
herself, with a warm little glow at
j her heart. She was glad now that
I she hadn't been cross with Nora.

BREATHE MUCH FRESH
RIB. NIGHT MID DAY
Fearsome Legend About Baleful
Influences of "Night Air" Is
a Myth
Breathe all the fresh air you can
get. night and day. That's what fresh
air is for. The fearsome legend about
the baleful influences of "night air" is
only another of the carefully nursed
insanitary bequests from our ances
tors, according to Senior Surgeon
Banks, of the United States Public-
Health Service.
When this superstititon arose may
only be surmised. Perhaps it is a sur
vival of the primeval cult of Sun
worship, which led the ancients to
classify anything outside the sphere
of solar influence. Our forbears were
wont to caution their offspring to "he
careful about the night air,'' or chil
dren were ordered to "come in out of
the night air." It is perhaps fortun
ate for the children living in the
Arctiee circle, where the nights are six
months long, that the Esquimaux
mothers do not entertain this crude
notion about night air, else their pro
geny would spend lialf the year in
doors.
This idea is generally prevalent and
even one of our well-known flowers is
loaded down with the horrible name
of "Deadly Nightshade." as a sort of
verbal relic of this old notion. The
low-lying mist or fog that sometimes
gathers about the surface of the earth
under certain ntmospherlc conditions,
after sunset, was held, is held, to be
"miasmatic" and pregnant with lethal
possibilities. This is worthy of all
the respect that should be put to anv
hoary superstitltion, but it's place Is in
the specimen jars of an archaeological
museum, not in the show room of
modern intelligent life.
Night Air No Different
The night air, minus the sun, is no
different from the atmosphere of a
sunless day. The atmospheric envel
ope of the earth does not change from
benign to malign in the twinkling of
an eye after sundown. It is still com
posed of oxygen, nitrogen, argon and
carbon dioxide in the normal propor
tions for the given locality. The open
air treatment of tuberculosis and its
kindred a-llics had iirst to combat
this venerable jargon about the deadli
ne.ss of night air, and only the re
markable results of this hygienic aid
to its cure brought the superstitious
to a realization of the .silliness of their
ingrained noetopnobia.
This generation has witnessed the
anticipation of human beings in re
spect to the value of fresh air. whether
in bulk or in smaller "drafts." From
being a people immersed in hermet
ically sealed rooms at night, breath
ing our own bodily exhalations over
and over again, a constantly increasing
number of persons are sleeping In
the open, or at least with open win
dows, summer and winter, to their
great benefit. In the morning they
are refreshed with the pure oxygen of
the. air breathed during sleep, not
"stewed" nor "seedy" after eight
hours spent in respiring and re-respir
ing second-hand and shop-worn air
in a closed bedroom.
Soldiers Favor It
A story from the trenches in France
lis that a soldier wrote home to his
wife to open her windows at night, as
lie had found that the night air did.Vt
hurt one bit.'' That is the experience
of all the advocates of this sensible
custom—once tried the old custom of
sealing one's self in an air-tight bed
room is never renewed. Diseases
I which Involve the lungs can usuaJly
be traced to their beginning in poorly
ventilated sleeping apartments, inside
rooms that do not have a share of the
atmosphere. Nothing can live well or
long without oxygen in the air, and it
was given to us for breathing, night
and day, not to be taken in sparingly,
as if it were a dangerous potion. Sonie
people are actually afraid of ordinary,
common air.
Those emancipated persons who
open their windows at night will tell
you, unanimously, that they cannot
breathe in a charaebr unless the win
dow is raised, their sense of comfort
and vigor demands the life-giving
qualities of fresh air. Xo greater pro
breathe in a chamber unless the win
than to breathe all the fresh atmos
pheric air you can get, night and
clay.

i A Smart Suit with New Features.
By MAY MAN TON
8522 Boy's Suit, 4to 8 year*. !
The diagonal closing of this blouse
gives a distinctly new touch and the
straight trousers make an important
feature of the latest suits. Here, shep
herd's check is used with white collar and
white patent leather belt, but for the
younger boys the washable fabrics are
the preferred ones, and Sponge, galatea, .
linen and the like are good for cold
weather wear with the thinner and lighter
fabrics for warmer weather, although the
model is an appropriate one for any ma
terial from velvet to cotton. Made of
velvet or of ribbed silk, it is exceedingly
handsome and suitable to the most formal
occasions of the small boy's lite. Made of ;
seree or galatea, it is just a comfortable
little costume that can be worn every ,
day. The belt may be of leather or of i
material as liked.
For the 6-year stee will be required 3\
yards of material 27 inches wide, 2*4
yards 36, or yards 44, with yard
27 for collar. (
