She shook her head. "I had a crazy notion of touching a match to the house," he said soberly, "letting it go up in smoke with the rest. Tes, that's what I was thinking I would do. Then I'd take the Panther and what gear I have on the scows and pull off Roar ing lake. It didn't seem as if I '•ould stay.

It was said to resemble young pig in text ure and taste, and many of the hotel guests who ate it said it was palata ble.

I got tickets for it this afternoon." "Oh, Warren," said Helen, looking up from lier dessert, "what made you do that without telling me?" "I wanted to surprise you." "But, dear I told you over the tele phone this afternoon how tired I was. I have been sewing on those drap eries all day." "I know It, and I went right out and bought the tickets after I rang off. It will be the best thing in the world for you to go and see a good play that will make you laugh and forget all about yourself and your troubles." "But. dear, you don't seem to re alize that I am too tired to enjoy myself." "I know you're tired. You're tired sitting indoors in a stuffy room with the radiator going like the mischief,' and sewing on those curtains. What you need is a good ride down on the 'bus in the open air, and a good eve ning of fun, and you will come home and sleep well." "But, Warren, I haven't the energy to get dressed for the theater. I am simply dead." "But you couldn't be dead," said Warren Impatiently. "You've worked hard I know, but you haven't done any physical work. How can you be so tired?" "I'm tired nervously,' Helen tried to explain although the explanation did not sound at all convincing when spoken. "It's a strain to sit for a number of hours sewing steadily, and it works on the nerves." Kid It to Re Kind "Well, if you are only nervously tired, all the more reason why you ought to go out. If you go to bed now. you won't sleep a wink, and you know it." Warren had done what he consid ered a thoughtful thing. It was more than thoughtful. It was generous, and he could not bear to think of giving up his treat. The truth of the mat ter was that he would be doing a far kinder thing for Helen in allow ing her to do as she pleased. She really was deadly tired, and while wrapping up in a long coat and sim ply going for a ride on the 'bus, hid den by the friendly dark, might have appealed to her, the very thought of getting dressed and sitting in a lighted theater fazzled her nerves still more. Warren had done what nine out of ten men would have done in his place There is something very at tractive about the suspender dress worn over a blouse of thin material. This one is made of foulard while the blouse is made of Georgette crepe. It makes a very charming costume, and a very serviceable one but you could, of course, vary it in many ways. You could use charmeuse or taffeta for the dress as well as the foulard or you could make it of a linen or a cotton gabardine if you want something simpler, or you could make it of the gingham that serves so many uses. It is ad mirable for between seasons wear, but with the gingham or cotton gabardine you would, of course, have a blouse of muslin or of handkerchief lawn. The skirt is a quite simple one gath ered and joined to a belt and can be finished with or without the pockets, also it. can be mad' without the straps and finishc with a wide belt. Taffet promises to be much use; through the early Autumn ar.< taffeta with blouse of Georgett crepe makes a serviceable gown For the medium size tin blouse will require, 2 yards o material 36 or 44 inches wide and the skirt with suspenders 4% yards 36, 4% yards 44. • The blouse pattern No. 9498 i 9 cut in sizes from 36 to 4C inches bust measure and thfc skirt pattern No. 9501 is cut in sizes from 24 to 32 inches waist measure.

HAHJUBBURG TELEGRAPH —tried to spring a kindly surprise at! the wrong time. Helen felt uncomfortable. She ] hated to hurt Warren's feelings ana she knew that he would not under- j stand. For a moment she thought of doing as he liked, but the very | thought of the energy it would re- ; quire sickened her. She was nerv- i ously tired out and she needed rest, j not excitement. "You couldn't exchange the seats, j could you, dear?" she began tenta tively. "Kxchange them? Of course not! Aren't you going to buck up and go with me?" "Warren, dear, I'd simply love to I go any night but to-night". I wish I you could understand and appreciate ; Just how I feel." Cannot Vndri-Ktnnd "You have no business to try to | do ho much in one day. You always ; act as though you weren't going to be another day on earth, and must finish your allotted Job before you die. Why can't you do a little bit every day and not get so tired as this?" "Why I could, dear, but In a case of this kind. I wanted to get finished as quickly as possible. I do hate any work about the house delayed more than is necessary." "Well, you women are all the same —this deadly tearing up of things j every spring and fall, making your husbands miserably uncomfortable. And then when you get together you all seem to take a melancholy delight in telling each other how dead tired j you are, and reciting everything that J you have done to get into that state." This was a long speech for Warren, and he relapsed into silence for a few moments afterward. Helen felt so nervous that she wanted to cry. She was afraid she might break down, and she knew that Warren detested scenes of this kind, and he always insisted that she could control herself if she tried. Helen thought to slip out of the diningroom without attracting his I attention# as he seemed engrossed in I his paper but he looked up as soon ! as she rose from her chair. "Are you going?" he rasped out. "Dear, I simply can't go to a play | to-night—l simply can't. If you could exchange the seats, I'd love to go to morrow or any other time, but not to-night." "Well, I'm riot going to exchange them, and I'll go down and get one of] the fellows to go with them. It'll be a long time before you can expect me to do anything of the kind again, 1 can tell you that. The way this has been appreciated settles things for me." "But, Warren, I do appreciate it, really I do. I simply am too tired to go, that's all," and Helen turned away quickly to hide the first of a nervous fit of crying. "Very well, suit yourself. For my part. I think you are just stubborn. If it means enough to you to miss one of the best shows in New York, it certainly isn't going to make me unhappy."

Life's Problems Are Discussed BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW. I In these days of upheaval and tu- j mult, when the old order changes while you wait, and the accustomed standards slip away from us, like; telegraph poles racing past an ex press train, it is hard to know just what to expect. Autocracy seems to be doomed, although 1 heard a contrary-minded I and pessimistic man predicting the other day that this present war would only result in bringing forth some new and more powerful form of it. "It has always been the case," he insisted. "No group of human be-; ings—whether they numbered three persons or three hundred millions — ever existed without subjecting them selves to the government of an auto crat. Rome had its Caesar. Eng land beheaded Charles Stuart, only to install the iron rule of a Cromwell. France flamed with the cry of 'Lib erte, Egalite, Fraternite,' and then promptly produced a Robespierre. Every race and period in history tells the same story. "And as It is with nations, so it is with the lesser divisions of man kind," he went on. "Every dtate, and province, and canton, and city, and village, and settlement upon the face of the globe has its head man or "boss.' Every lodge, and church, and party, and organization that pos sess any force at all, is under a sin gle, dominating hand. Every roving tribe has its chief, every town its leading citizen, every family its rul ing member. "And this does not necessarily mean the official head," he contin ued. "There have been Senators and Congressmen who exercised more power than the President; con stables of greater influence that the mayor, and in the home circle 'father,' in spite of his legal status as head of the house, usually has much less to say than one of his sons or daughters. "Nor does this especial son or daughter generally arrive at this distinction through any qualities ofi eminence." (He is himself a mem ber of a large family and spoke with considerable feeling.) "Neither ca pability for leadership nor sound judgment is requisite to Its attain ment. More often than not these ele ments are lacking. The things re quired are only a caustic tongue and a show of overbearing superiority: for most people are so ready to sub mit to dictation that they regard these as symbols of authority, a sort of figurative crown and sceptre.'' I recalled this cynical outburst and especially that part of it "touch ing on and appertaining to" the fam ily, when X ran across the following letter in my mail the other day: Dear Mrs. Woodrow: "I am, in general, of a gay, ani mated disposition: yet at times, when the mood is on me, I can also be very quiet, and even un derneath all my lightness there is a sensible vein which my relatives and intimate friends respect. Still, by many people, I am considered only a 'Joke.' At least I think so although I have never heard any one outside the family say what they thought of me. except one woman, who declared that if she had the blues she wouldn't want anything better than me to cheer her up. "I gu ss, on the whole, I am more temperamental than practical, and I am a great lover of music and am always singing and dancing around the house. "My sister is of a very different disposition, so quiet and demure that, atlhough really three years younger, she is always considered older. What she says 'goes,' too. She is very critical and aggressive toward me and never hesitates to take me to task or excite laughter at my ex pense when there is a crowd around. "Now all this has set me to won dering. I often tell my mother I must change my nature. But she replies,' 'Never change your disposi tion for anyone. Be your natural self,' and then she will add that my disposition is the best part about nie and people like me for it. "But the trouble with this advice is that I can't be sure just which is my real self —the Jolly, vivacious character which I usually present, or the more sober, sedate one I occa sionally assume. I have heard it said that unless a girl is naturally viva cious it ill becomes her to attempt being so, and I often wonder If that is the case with me. "Sometimes I try to be very quiet and restrained when there are peo ple around, but it always proves a failure, and the first thing I know I am back to my chatter and non sense. So that leads me to believe that my 'silly side' is the natural one. I realize, too, that I can always entertain a crowd, and that when I 'tell a Joke I have the knack of mak ing every one laugh, whereas the same thing told by my sister would merely sound uninteresting and com monplace.

Would my friends think bet ter of me if I were more sedate, do you suppose? "Sometimes I get very angry when my sister sees fit to criticise me, and a quick retort is on the tip of my j tongue. Am I wise in not answering ; her? She has a very dictatorial manner, and makes herself felt, as it were, letting every one know that she has a good position and assenting her personality to a great extent, whereas I do not care continually to parade my talents and therefore am overshadowed by her, although I know that I am smarter than she is I in a great many things and always [ was even at school. I feel, though, that by reason of heV constant ridi cule of me most people regard mo as an ignoramus. "Sometimes I am almost ready to I leave home on account of this state of affair, as no matter what I say or do I am never right. What would you advise me to do in this situa tion? Is a simple Ignoring of them the best method to make a per son discontinue criticism?" This is a plain case of the com plete family autocrat. Don't vou tret a picture of that household—the supercillious, critical, eider-younger sister coming home to spread her self on the strength of her excellent job and extreme repose of manner, and snutting out, by her very pres ence, all spontaneity and joy? She is to be pitied. She worships "good form" and imagines that it consists in the repression of all enthusiasm. She lacks God-given inheritance of humor, and possesses that arro gant confidence in her own opinions which is the strength of many utterly commonplace people. Under the drumfire of her sarcastic flings the | less assertive and more temperameri ! tal girl has grown doubtful of lier ' self. She fears that she is merely | silly in the role of L'AUegro, and | wonders if she would not appear to I better advantage as 11 Penseroso. No; a thousand times no. Anyone j who has the knack of making people i laugh and who Is called "a pure cure | for the blues" doesn't want lo I change her disposition. Dispositions of that kind are too rare and pre cious in this querulous, complaining old world to be lightly exchanged. As to "sister," I would have one plain, straight, heart-to-heart talk with her. I would say to her: "It is neither kind nor well-bred for you to criticise me before people. There is no reason why you should sit In Judgment on me. and T will tolerate no more of it, either in public or in private."
