10 SRI HOUSEHOLD TALKS '' .fej Henrietta D. Grauel Choosing the Proper Wall Paper Tt is quite possible to save ou yom i lighting bills by havtug your walls co\ ' ered with those shades that reflect rather than absorb light But this i> n»t the most important consideration u selecting wall coverings t'or the iiiflu ♦nee or' walls affects the character e everything in the room, collectively an individually. If the walls are of ba' color or startling in the design of the coverings, no beauty of floor coverin. or richness of furniture can give hi artistic whole. Ceiliugs must be considered too. t'o. thev are a part of the wall. The 1 should always be of lighter shade thai the side walls, but may be made to give an apparent height to a low roon or by skillful management of the bor der to seemingly lower the wal's of a too high room. A rule to remember when decorating the walls is that col or* "hould grow light from the floor to the ceiling so that the light will seem to be reflected down, as from the] sky. One other rule is that rooms wuh eist or west light may be dressed with almost any tone, shade or color with out danger of violating the rules ot'j harmony. .V scientific table has recently been offered the public showing which pa pers absorb the greatest amount of] light.

"Yes." said Doogan. looking down at her tenderiy. "We were going to be married today." Mrs. Cnrr was visibly Impressed by .lael; Doogan's plea and by the fact that beyond question he was unselfish ly in love with the pretty lady's maid. Besides this, she realized that if she meant to bide from the world any longer the unfortunate weakness of her iibsendrcfnded husband for appro priitlng other people's property It would be well to make a compromise with this candid thief "You were going to be married to day?" she nskeil at last as If sbe did not qu'te understand. It was on the tip of the good lady's tongue to Bdd. "I didn't know people of your sort generally troubled about gerting mur,r!ed." "Perhaps you don't understand, ma'am," returned Jack Doogan, "or maybe you've forgotten. You're not so young as you were, you know"— Mrs. Carr sniffed—"and it's likely you've forgotten how you felt when you got hitched up to him," pointing to William Carr "So you to be married j I today, were you.

Why. ten years in the penitentiary." Nell shivered, and Joan cast her eyes upon the maid sympathizing!? as she murmured: "Ten years in prison! A living death"' "1 can't interfere. The girl's a thief." said Mrs. Carr. ' There was silence for a few moments, during which .lack Doogan touched Nell's soft cheek caressingly with the iKiek of his hand and whispered to her let to give up. He wouldn't have done ' it himself, and if he could have stop ped Nell before she darted forward and Bung herself on her knees at Mrs. t'arr's feet he would have held her back at any risk. But he was too late. Nell was there. 1 with her "white hands raised in suppli cation. as she said piteously: "Mrs. Carr. give us a chance. He was going to turn straight for me. just as he savs He is straight at heart, and he never would have done a crook ed thing again as long as he lived. Neither would I. For Coil's sake. Mrs. Carr. give us this one chance!" "This is awful! William, what can I say':" She took her husband's arm and moved away from the kneeling girl, shaking her bead, while William Carr tiled to assemble his vagrant thoughts i into some sort of order, but made an . exceedingly bad job of the operation, •lack Doogan shrugged his shoulders as he watched them. "Don't knuckle down to these dubs. Nell " he whispered. "You don't have to do it. I'm going to get us both out of here. That's a cinch." As Ite seated her and not»'d the ex- j pression of confidence and hope in her . piquant face he assumed a jaunty air. 1 "Come on.

".Inst this—you guys didn't steal n thing-nothing at all. You think you did. but you didn't." "I don't see what you mean exactly." confessed -lames Clutiey. passing his band across his forehead, a favorite , movement of his since lie had been so sure he was a kleptomaniac. "1 haven't the faintest h'en of what voti're driving at." added Dr. Willough bv. "1 never ""'pposed I had stolen anything. ;.nd the others who may have picked up anything certainly did not do it with any criminal intent. It was a mistake." •lack DooVan gave vent to a loud, j mocking laugh. Everybody turned and . looked at him indignantly ■ "A mis take, eh ?" he chuckled "Why. loc, that's oue of the oldest, thinnest excises you ever hear in a courtroom Of course it was a mistake. And there ; are more than 2.000 guvs with short ! hair wearing dark gray clothes up In Sing Sing who made just that sort of mistake some time or other. Mistake? Ha. ha. ha'." "You say that none of us stole any thing in this house." said Dr Wil- : loughby. breaking into Jack Doogan'a laughter "Will you kindly explain what you mean by that?" "Sure I will I stole all that stuff myself and planted it on you ftllows. It was a cinch." "According to what you say." ob served Cluney. pulling himself to gether. "I'm not a kleptomaniac." "Kleptomaniac nothing!" was Jack Doogan's disdainful reply. "Haven't ! I Just told you?" "Then, of course. I'm grateful, Doo- ; ean And I should like to help you If I could. But if you're a t'uief. why"— ] "Ah! Cut that out! I haven't held nut a nickel's worth In this houne. and you all know it. That's why I'm asking you to wijte the s'ate clean E.ud make a new start." "But you tried to steal!" put in Dr. Willough by. "I hope you are not really a thief, j Mr. Doogan.'* said Joan coming to him j and smiling. "Thank you, miss," replied Doogan. "Go as far HH you like.

Addressing Wlllough by. she continued: "Doctor, can't you j settle all this without neuding Mr. Doo- ' gan and Nellie to prison? Can't you?"

"I : didn't get you at first. Where did 1 put that paper?" Nell stepped up to Jack Doogan and whispered something in his ear, to which he responded with a chuckle and said: "By Mike. I'd forgotten. I planted the license on the doctor so the cops couldn't take it away from me. Doc-, j tor. will you fee! iu your pockets?" : "Well, of all the infernal impudence!" | muttered Wil lough by.

"But there are two licences here.) | One of them is your own. Here you j , are." ; Dr. Wlllougbby smiled rather foolish j j ly. and Joan Carr. who had been ob-' j serving the proceedings from the other) end of the room, turned away foe fear; Willoughby should see her looking at him. "You haven't told me yet what min-l ister you intend to marry you." Mr. Spelaiu reminded Doognn. as the latter j rend over the words of his license with a softer expression than generally was : on his face. "Oh. haven't I?" said Doognn. looking thoughtfully at Mr. Spelain. "Well, j that's so. You see. I hadn't engaged a minister yet. and 1 had some notion | that T might have to get an alderman to do it.

There were two happy girls it the room then. Mr. Spelaiu turned away to say 1 things into Mr*. Carr's ear trumpet, to which that lady could not reply at ; once apparently, for she shook her head and tapped her teeth with the end of her ear trumpet to help her re flections. Then she talked rapidly and earnestly. "Gee!" observed Jack Doogan to Nell. | "I wonder whether he wants me to j produce a doctor's certificate before he'll marry us.
