Good night, old Jtop —no, I mean belle marquise," and it was a very funny thing to see that Buzz with a great awkwardness bend and kiss my hand at a laugh from my Sue as they left me. It was not for many moments that I stood alone in the hall after the departure of my Sue and my Buzz before there entered my beloved uncle, the General Robert, and also my beloved Gouverneur Faulkner, who came to stand one upon the one side of me and one upon the other. , "Sure you wouldn't like to take her along with you to-night, govern or?" again asked my uncle, the Gen eral Robert, with a great fierceness, but also a twinkling of the eye. "Only as far as your garden for a few minutes, general," answered my Gouverneur Faulkner, with that laugh of a boy I had remarked once before up in those mountains of Old Harpeth, and he took my hand in his as if to lead me through one of the tall windows out into the frag rant night. "All right; take her, and don't re turn her until you have to," remark ed my uncle, the General Robert, as he handed me in the direction of my Gouverneur Faulkner and imme diately took his departure up the stairs. And it was under the light of the old moon in the garden of those grande dames Carruthers that Rob erta, marquise of Grez and Bye, who is the last of their line, wal ed with the great gentleman who was and is her lover. Is it that those beautiful ded grandmammas each planted her flowers in her own great happi- r ...u. "Hi woman is God's gift of truth to min," ness so that they would give forth a very tender perfume in which to in fold the wooings of their, daughters then not come into the world? I think it is so, and I was thus en wrapped in their fragrance as I was in the arms of that great Gouverneur Faulkner. "Now I am a truth that I do love you," I made answer to a question that was pressed upon my lips. "His woman is God's gift of truth to a man," were the words that were heard by those listening flowers and Roberta, marquise of Grez and Bye, who from a world at war had come home. x THE END.

By JEAN McLEAN. "No, I don't think I'll return it." she said stubbornly, fingering the glorious beaded bag that had lately come Into her possession. "Well, it's as good as stealing to keep it,"' argued the other. "Oh, nonsense, Win; how can you say that? Remember the old saying, Findings is keepings? Whoever was careless enough to lose this ought to suffer the penalty." "Suppose you lost your pocketbook, things would be different then." "Not at all." the girl responded quickly. "Any who found my old leather purse with its pitiful contents would know In a minute that it ought to be returned. But this gorgeous thing. Why, any one could see that whoever lost it had money to buy more like It. Look at the money in it, and the big itself. It's the bag I want. I don't see how you could be grudge it to me. Win, when I have so little." The old girl looked at the quiver ing face of her younger sister and sighed. Things were hard, and the straight road a hard one to travel for one as pretty as Madge. Madge was boril to the purple. She would have had things, pretty things that her heart craved, instead of a hard life of doing without and nothing to re ward her for her striving. "Don't you suppose I could keep it, Win.?" asked Madge again. The other girl shook her head slow ly. even while tears ' filled her eyes and trickled down her cheeks." "It's not fair." the other girl ex claimed passionately. "It's not fair. I'm young and pretty, just as pretty as the girl who lost this, and I have nothing, nothing at all. And it will always be this way. always. What have I to look forward to? Nothing, just year after year of work for just enough to live on. and none of the pretty things my soul is starving for. Why can't I keep it. Win?" And the angry voice choked and trailed oft into a swallowed sob. Winifred crossed the room and ten derly put her arm about her sister's shoulder. she spoke pityingly. "We've always kept straight, dear,™ she said softly.- "I know the keeping of this thing means a lot to you, and perhaps you are right about the Wom an being able to lose it. But that doesn't make the act any different for you, and one little act tike that leads to another. Some day you'd do something you were sorry for."

The next day a .woman called, and Madge, who was home alone, opened the door and asked her to come in. "I came about the bag," she said tremulously, and Madge stared at her incredulously. Why, the woman was poorly dressed and loked as is she had spent several sleepless nights. Furthermore, she was decidedly of the servant class and ignorant, as Madge could plainly see. What pos sible reason could she have for com ing about the beaded bag? "Did you lose it?" Madge asked curtly. "Yes," breathed the woman, "and you found it. thank God for that." The woman spoke with such evident earnestness that Madge went into the next room and brought the bag out. "Describe what was in it," she saifl coldly. The woman instantly responded. She gave a correct list of what was In It. and then gasped out a story that astounded Madge. "The bag isn't mine." the woman said, a wan smile tempering the look of terror on her face. "It's Miss Gil dersleeve's. She gave It to me and sent me on an errand, and I lost it." "Right outside of Park's?" querleff Madge. The woman nodded and went on speaking. "X told her I had lost the bag and she wouldn't believe me. She said I had stolen it and was going to have me arrested. I told her to wait, that I'd find it or earn the money and pay her back, and she said she would wait a day. Then your advertisement came out in the paper, and I won't be ar rested after all. You're an honest girl, miss." Madge flushed hotly. It was due to Win, her sister, that she hadn't been the caifse of this woman's arrest, and a hot wave of shame assailed her. Win, who was always so sweet and so patient, while she, Madge, made things unpleasant because they hadn't more to manage with. "But I'll make it up to Win," the girl said under her breath as she showed the woman out. "And things will come our way yet," she finished, determinedly. "I'll just make them. Funny how that old bag made me re alize my ■ selfishness. Things always come out for the best." Every girl will want a variety of pretty dancing frocks for the opening season and this one is charmingly youthful and attrac tive and at the same time so simple that it can be made in the least little bit of time. The skirt is a simple straight, gath ered one, but it is joined to a foundation to give the Turkish effect, and here, there is a little ruffle below which is pretty. The blouse is a very simple one with a round neck which is always becoming to girl-like figures. In the illustration, the material is a soft net with trim ming of rosebud banding over a foundation of soft taffeta. It would be pretty to use taffeta throughout, however, and the taffetas are so soft that they can be made full with success and they are very much liked for girls' evening dresses, or, you could use Georgette crepe or crepe de chine or any material of such sort* If you do not care for the Turkish effect, you can leave the skirt plain or you can hem It and cut it a little shorter to form a tunic over the plain foundation.

Birds help tho farmers produce that food by destroying • insect pests. I Therefore, birds may be considered as one of the allies. In the Farm and Fireside we read: "Birds are almost as busy as bees, and their work in increasing crop yields is highly important. One of the cheapest and most effective ways to fight insect pests that annually take crop toll estimated at SBOO,- 000,000, is to aid in the preserva tion of bird life. Few people realize how many insects are destroyed by • birds. A teaspoonful of chinch bugs has been taken from the crop of one quail, and an adult bird has been known to eat 5,000 plant lice in two hours. Such worms and bugs as in fest our gardens are favorite food for bluebirds, robins and many other kinds of birds. "It is true that some insect pests may be fought with chemicals. Ow ing to the great war, though, prices tor many materials commonly used tn sprays, washes and poison mashes are pretty near prohibitive. But the birds work at before the war wages. "Birds also eat thousands of weed &eeds. A single quail, when killed, was found to contain 10,000 pigweed seeds. With labor scarce and high, whatever will aid the farmer in his crop against weeds is worth while." DIRECT APPROVAL) "Do you approve of votes for women In your district?" "Yes," replied Senator Sorghum. "On what ground?" "Because they are mighty likely to get tjie vote whether I approve of it or not; and I'd like them to think as kindly of me as possible." —Washington Star.

England Eats More Than Other Allies For the first two years of the war, and until a few months ago, there was little curtailment of foodstuffs in the average English family. The English are heavy eaters. The cli mate calls for plenty of food. And the average English family hasn't had a meager diet even with war raging. An illustration of this is the fact that German prisoners in En gland have three liberal meals a day, and even then some of the British have insisted their prisoners ought to be better fed. Like ourselves, the English h&ve been prodigal of their food and haven't until lately seen the need of strictly conserving the sup ply. In addition to this disposition to wastefulness, the English have had to divert large supplies of food stuffs to France and Italy, as well as to help out Belgium. The French and Italians live much more sparingly in normal times than the British. But they have been hampered by the enormous drafts of men for the army and consequent interference with agriculture.—Farm and Fireside.
