10 HOUSEHOLD TALKS Henrietta D. Grauel Care of Food in the House Food needs care in cold weather asl ■well as when the mercury hovers] around the torrid mark. Impure air isj contaminating anil dust contains all manner of dangers, impurities are carried from one food that has lost its freshness to another and decay starts and makes headway in a wonderfully short time. The truth about right housekeeping! is that prevention is far better thanj cure. Pure air, sunshine, dryness and quick removal of all questionable arti-, cles are the chief essentials to whole-1 some conditions in every part of the; % house, particularly in the food storage place*. This is so because bacteria and mold thrive in darkness and dampness and because they cannot live in sun shine and fresh air. Some foods have a finer flavor when they have aged for a tiiue.

Alaric burst out with: "I don't see how that clause interests ! lis in the least. Mr. Hawkes." The lawyer removed his pinee nez and. looking steadily at Mrs. Chiches- j ter. sa id: j "Now. my dear Mrs. Chichester. It was Mr. Klngsiiorth's wish that the ttrst lady to be approached on the mat ter of undertaking the training of the i young lady should be—you." Mrs. Chichester rose in astonish- J luent. "I V" Alaric arose iu anger. "My mother?" i Ethel quietly pulled Pet's ear and j waited. Mr. Hawkes went on quietly: "Mr. Klngsnorth said lie would be j sure at least of his niece having a strict ! upbringing iu the best traditions of the Kingsnorths and that, though his lister Monica was somewhat narrow and conventional in Ideas—l use his own words—still he felt sure she was eminently btted to undertake such a charge. There—you have the whole object of my visit. Now, will you un dertake the training of the young lady?" "I never heard of such a thing!" cried Mrs. Chichester furiously. "Ridiculous:" said Ethel calmly. "Tush and nonsense!" with which Alaric dismissed the whole matter. "Then I may take it you refuse?" queried the astonished lawyer. "Absolutely!" from Mrs. Chichester. "Entirely!" from Ethel. "I should say so!" and Alaric brought up the rear. Mr. Hawkes gathered up his papers and In a tone of regret ventured: "Then there is nothing more to be said. I was only carrying out the dead mac's wishes by coining here and making the facts known to you. Mr. Klngsnorth was of the opinion that you were well provided for and that, outside of the sentimental reason that the girl was your own niece, the additional thou sand pounds a year might be welcome as. say. pin money for your daughter." Ethel laughed her dry. cheerless lit tle laugh. "Ha! Pin money!" Alaric grew suddenly grave and drew his mother and sister out of Mr. Hawkes' vicinity. "Listen, mater. Ethel. It's a cool thousand, you know! Thousands don't grow on raspberry hushes when your bank's gone up. What do ye think, •hr Mrs. Chichester brightened. "It would keep things together," she said. "The wolf from the door." urged Alnrie. "No charity." chimed In Ethel. CHAPTER XVI. "I'd be happier with me father. 1 * OMETHINO may be snved from the wreck," reasoned Mrs. i. I Chichester more hopefully. "Until I get really started," said Alaric with a sense of climax. Mrs. Chichester turned to her daugh ter. "Ethel V" "Whatever you decide, mamma." Mrs. Chichester thought a moment, then decided. "I'll do it." she said determinedly. "It will be hard, but I'll do it." She went slowly and de liberately to Mr. Ha vices, who by this time had disposed of all his documeuts ami was preparing to go. A look in Mrs. Chichester's face stopped him. He smiled at her. "Well?" lie asked. "For the sake of the memory of my dead sister. I will do as Nathaniel wished." said Mrs. Chichester, with great dignity and self abnegation. Mr. Hawkes breathed a sigh of re lief. "Goodl" he said. "I'm delighted. It is splendid. Now that you have decid ed so happily there is one thing more I must tell you. The young lady is not to be told the conditions of the will unless at the discretion of the execu tors should some crisis arise. She will be to all intents and purposes—your guest. In that way we may be able to arrive at a more exact knowledge of her character. Is that understood?" The family sign!lied severally and collectively that it was. "And now." beamed the lawyer, hap py at tin? fortunate outcome of a sit uation that a few moments before seemed so strained, "where Is your bell?" Alaric indicated the bell. "May 1 ring?" asked the lawyer. "Certainly." replied Alaric. Mr. Ilawkes rang. Alaric watched hlui curiously. "Want a sandwich or something?" Ilawkes smiled benignly on the un fortunate family and rubbed his hands together self satlslieilly. "Now I would like to send for the young lady—the heiress." "\\ lu re is she?" asked .Mrs. Chlches ter. "She arrived from New York this morning, and I brought her straight here. I had to call on a client, so I gave her your address and told her to come .here and wait." At the word "wait" an uneasy feel ing took possession of Ethel. That was the word used by that wretched little creature who had so rudely intruded upon her and Rrent. Could it be pos sible- Tile footman entered at that mo ment. The lawyer questioned him. "Is there a young lady waiting for Mr. Hawkes?" "A young lady, sir? No, sir," an swered Jar vis. Mr. Ilawkes was puzzled. What in the world had become of her? He told the cabman distinctly where to go. Jarvis opened the door to go out when a thought suddenly occurred to him. He turned hack and spoke to the lawyer: "There's a .voting person sitting In the kitchen—came up and knocked at the door and said she had to wait un til a gentleman called. Can't get noth ing out of her " Hawkes brightened up. "That must be Miss O'Connell," he said He turned to Mrs. Chichester and asked her if he might bring the young lady In there. "My niece in the kitchen!" said Mrs. Chichester to the unfortunate footman. "Surely you should know the differ ence between my niece and a servant!" "I urn truly sorry, madam," replied Jarvis in distress, "but there was noth ing to tell." "Another such mistake and you can leave mv employment" Mrs. Chiches ter added severely. Jarvis pleaded piteously: "Upon my word, madam, no one could tell." "That will do!" thundered Mrs. Chl- "Bring my niece here—at once!" The wretched Jarvis departed on his errand, muttering to himself: "Wait until they see her. Who in the world could tell she was their relation?" Mrs. Chichester was very angry. "It's monstrous!'' she exclaimed. "Stoopid!" agreed Alaric. "Doocid stoopid." Ethel said nothing. The one thought that was passing through her mind was. "How much did that girl hear Brent say. and how much did she see Mr. Brent do?" Hawkes tried to smooth the misun derstanding out. "I am afraid it was all my fault." he explained. "I told her not to talk—just to say that she was to wait. I want ed to have an opportunity to explain matters before Introducing her." "She should have been brought straight to me," complained Mrs. Chi chester. "The poor thing!" Then with a feeling of outraged pride she said: "My niece In the kitchen—a Klngsnorth mistaken for a servant!" The door opened and Jarvis came Into the room. There was a look of half triumuh on his face as much as to say: "Now. who would not make a mistake like that? Who could tell tills girl was your niece?" He beckoned Peg to come into the room. Then the Chichester family received the second shock they had experienced that day—one compared with which the failure of the bank paled into iu significance. When they saw the i strange, shabby, red haired girl slouch iuto the room with her parcels and that disgraceful looking dog they felt the hand of misfortune had indeed fallen upon them. As Peg wandered into the room Mrs. Chichester and Alaric looked at her in horrified smasetP'Bt / 0 jr* s* ■I; w ] 'f< . v l \ Mrs. Chichester Was Angry; Ethel Said Nothing. muri loon une swill jjuun'e at utn and then turned her attention to Pet Jarvis looked reproachfully at Mrs. Chichester as much as to *ay, "What did I tell you?" and went out. \ Alaric whispered to his mother: %Oh, I say, really, you know—it isn't true! It enn't be." Pet suddenly saw Michael and began to bark furiously at him. Michael re sponded vigorously until Peg quieted him. At this juncture Mr. Hawkes ctime forward and. taking Peg gently by the arm, reassured her by saying: "Come here, my deal'. Come here. Don't be frightened. We're all your friends." He brought Peg over lo Mrs. Chi chester, who was staring at her with tears of mortification in her eyes. When Peg's eyes met her aunt's she bobbed a little courtesy she used to do as a child whenever she met some of the gentlefolk. Mrs. Chichester went cold when she saw the gauche act. Was it possible that this creature was her sister An gela's child? It seemed incredible. "What is your name?" she asked sternly. "Peg. ma'am." "What?"

HOSPITAL infirRQVEMENTS TO BE MADE IN ANY EVENT If State Refuses Money Harrisburg Institution Must Get It From Some Other Source, Says Superintendent W.M. Condon Needed improvements to the Harris-; burg hospital for which application has been made to the Slate Boar,l l of Public Charities and which have net been rec ommended by the board will be made even if flue, Stale does not appropriate money for that purpose, according to W. M, Condon, superintendent of the hospital. The State Board has recommended to the Legislature that $:15,000 be ap propriated to the Harrisburg hospital for maintenance only, clipping $15,000 from * what was asked. An additional $9,500 wns sought for needed improve 'ineiitx which include items of $2,500 tor tiling dispensaries, a new operating room, laundry machinery ami $2,000 for tire doors. "The improvements are needed for tthe safety of the patients." said Mr. Condon, "and we will carry them through. We'll have to get the money some place if we have to go to the pub lic to get it. The fire doors have been ordered installed by the State Depart ment of Laibor and Industry." The recommendation of the State Board of Charities is not final. Bills for the various appropriations will be introduced singly in the Legislature and that body may see fit to give the local institution some money for im provements. The Governor, hoiwever, has the last say oro approbations and his final cut generally brings the total on charity appropriations to within a few thousand of the recommendations of the State Board.
