Color in the Home
The beauty of the home does not lie
in the quantity or kind of furniture
purchased or the amount of money
spent in the house. It is not super
fluitv, or effusiveness, or any great
effort th»it charms and attracts. It is
an intuitive touch, an indefinable art
applied to covering faults or emphasiz
ing good points.
Housekeepers have lived, done their
best and gone to their graves without
ever having had an attractive bit of
color scheme in their homes. Others
there have been, who, with only the
1 gentle touch, the seeing eye. ha\e
brought beauty into every part of the
home life without effort.
There is rest fulness in color and
there is also a glorious sense of power
to be imparted with thus means.
Color heightens ceilings, and lowers
them. It broadens rooms and con
denses them. Artistic lights enhance
natural beauty: shadows deftly placed,
give superior loveliness to brilliant col
ors that, if left to glare would mar an
entire room. Color in the home begins
with building of the house. How reck
lessly interior wood work is chosen, i
how carelessly windows are placed.
Booms are made dark by porches that
are not decorative or useful but are
stuck on the house because other folks
have them. Your acquaintances pene
trate no further than the hall, the li j
brary or the parlor, or whatever you
call your best rooms. Their certain .
social rites are gone through and they
leave you. but they take away impres
sions. strong or weak, colorless or vivid
according to what you have placed be
fore them. You have the opportunity
to influence every one who steps across
your threshold, through the eye. The
eye records impressions, it is the gate
way to memory, to thought, to expres
sion.

draperies, upholsterings. curtains, wall

How Do You
Buy Coal?
Do you look at your new furnace and say to your
self "I think I will use Egg Coal?"
In all probability you call up your coal dealer
and tell him to send you a ton of Etrg Coal—and
that's all the thought you give it.
You don't consider whether the drafts are strong
enough for the large coal or whether it would be bet
ter to try a medium coal or a very hard coal or any
of the many other influences that go to make up a
successful furnace and a warm home.
Conditions are not the same in every house. The
kind of coal your neighbor burns will possibly not
suit you.
Coal eosts money and should be purchased with
care. There are many varieties and it i« important
to get the right kind.
We shall be glad to advise you.

"Thanks." said the bewildered youtn. '
Warrington whirled upon him sav
agely. "Thanks? Don't thank me,
you weak-kneed fool!"
"Oh. 1 say. now:" the other pro
tested.
"Be silent! If you owe that scoun
drel anything, refuse to pay it. He
n»ver won a penny in his life without
cheating. Keep out of his way; keep
out of the way of all men who prefer
to deal only two hands." And with
this advice Warrington stepped out
into the hallway and shut' the door
rudely.
"Pay the purser and get a box of ci
gars." Warrington directed James.
"Never mind about the wine. I shan't
want it now."
James went out upon the errands im
mediately.
Warrington dropped down in the
creaky rocking-chair, the only one in
the boarding house. He stared at the
worn and faded carpet. How dingy
everything looked! What a sordid
rut he had been content to lie in!
Chance: to throw this man across his i
path when he had almost forgotten
him. forsotten that he had sworn to
break the man's neck over his knees!
In the very next room! And he nad
permitted him to go unharmed simply
because his mind was full of a girl Ue
would never see 6gain after tomorrow.
What was the rascal doing over here*
What had caused hlrn to forsake the
easy pluckings of Broadwa* in ex
change for a dog's life on packet boats, j.
in a squalid boarding house like this
one. and in dismal billiard halls? Wits
tapper, racing tout, stool pigeon, a
cheater at cards, blackmailer and traf
ficker in baser things; in the next
room, and he had let him go unharmed.
Ten years ago and thirteen thousand
miles away. In the next room. He
laughed unpleasantly. Chivalric fool,
silly Don Quixote, sentimental dream
er. to have made a hash of his life
in this manner!
He leaned toward the window sill
and opened the cage. Rajah walked
out. muttering.
• ••••• •
When it was possible. Elsa pre
ferred to walk She was young and
strong and active, and she went along
with a swinging stride that made ob
vious a serene confidence in her ability
to take care of herself. What the un
knowing called willfulness was Bimply
natural independence, which she as
serted whenever occasion demanded it.
She loved to prowl through the
strange streets and alleys and stranger
shops; it was a joy to ramble about,
minus the irritating importunities of
guide or attendant. It was great fun.
but it was not always wise. There
were some situations which only men
could successfully handle. Elsa would
never confess that there had been
awkward moments when, being an ex
cellent runner, she had blithely taken
to her heels.
In her cool, white drill, her wide,
white pith helmet, she presented a
charming picture. The exercise had
given her cheeks a bit of color, and
her eyes sparkled and flashed like
raindrops. This morning she had
taken Mar'ha along merely to still her
protests.
"It's all right so long as we keep to
the main streets, * said the harried
Martha, "but I do not like the idea
of roaming about in the native quar
ters. This is not like Europe. The
hotel manager said we ought to have
a man."
"He is looking out for his commis
sion. Heavens! what is the matter,
with everybody? One would think, the *
way people put themselves out tp warn
you, murder and robbery were
daily occurrences in Asia. I've been
here four months, and the only dis
agreeable moment I have known was
caused by a white man."
"Because we have been lucky so far,
it's no sign that we shall continue so."
And Martha shut her lips grimly. Her
worry was not confined to this particu
lar phase of Elsa's imperious moods;
it was general. There was that blond
man with the parrot. She would never
feel at ease until they were out of
Yokohama, homeward bound.
"I feel like a child this morning,'
said Elsa. "I want to run and play
and shout."
"All the more reason why you should
have a guardian. . . . Look, Elsa!"
Martha caught the girl by the arm.
"There's that man we left at Manda
lay coming toward us. Shall we go
into this shop?"
"No, thank you! There is no reason
why I should hide in a butcher shop
simply to avoid meeting the man.
We'll walk straight past him. If he
speaks we'll ignore him.' 1
"I wish we were in a civilized coun
try."
"This man Is supposed to be civi-'
lized. Don't let him catch your eye.
Go on; don't lag."
Craig stepped In front of them, srail- j
ing as he raised his helmet. "This is,
an unexpected pleasure."
Elsa. looking coidly beyond him, at
tempted to pass.
"Surely you remember me?"
"I remember an insolent cad," re-i
piled Elsa. her eyes beginning to burn
dangerously. "Will you stand aside?"
He threw a swift glance about He
saw with satisfaction that none but,
natives was in evidence.
Elsa's glance roved, too. with a little'
chill of despair. In stories Warrington
would have appeared about this time j
and soundly trounced this impudent
scoundrel. She realized that she must
settle this affair alone. She was not
a soldier's daughter for nothing.
"Stand unfit**"
44 Hoity-toity!" he laughed. He had
been drinking liberally and was a
shade reckless. "Why not be a good
fellow! Over here nobody minds. 1
know a neat little restaurant. Bring
the old lady along." with a genial nod
toward the quaking Martha.
Resolutely Klsa's hand went up to
her helmet. nt;d with a flourish drew
out one of the long steel pins.
"Oh, Elsa!" warned Martha.
"1e still! This fellow needs a les
ion. Once more, Mr. Craig, will you
stand aside?"
Mad he been sober he would hare
scon the real danger in the young
woman's eyes.
"Cruel!" he said. "At least one
kiss," putting out his arms.
Klsa. merciless in her fury, plunged
the pin into his wrist. It stung like a
hornet, and. with a gasp of pain, Craig
leaped back out of range, sobered.
"Why. you she-cat!"
"1 warned you," she replied, her
voice steady and low. "The second stab
rill be serious. Stand aside."
He stepped into the gutter, biting
his lips and straining his uninjured
band over the hurting throb in his
wrist. He had had wide expedience
with women. His advantage had al
ways been in the fact that the general
run of them will submit to insult
rather than create a scene. This dark
eyed Judith was distinctly an excep
tion to the rule. Gad! She might
have missed his wrist and jabbed him
in the throat. He swore, and walked
off down the street.
Elsa set a pace which Martha, with
!ier wabbling knees, found difficult t<
T-'ntain
"Yon mtgtit have killed him!" she
cried breathlessly.
"You can't kill that kind of a snake
with a hatpin: you have to stamp on
its head. Br.t 1 rather believe it will
be some time before Mr. Craig will
again make the mistake of insulting
a woman because she appears to be
defenseless." Elsa's chin was in the
air. The choking sensation in her
taroat began to subside. "You know
and the purser knows what happened
on the boat to Mandalay. He was
plausible and affable and good look
ing, and the mistake was mine. I
seldom make them. I kept quiet be
cause the boat was full up, and as a
rule I hate scenes. Men like that
know it. If I had complained he would
have denied his actions, inferred that
I was evil-minded. Heavens, I know

the breed! Now not a single word of
this to anyone. Mr.'Craig. 1 fancy,
will be the last person to speak of it."
"You had better put the pin back
into your hat." suggested Martha.
"Pah! I had forgotten it." Elsa
flung the weapon far into the street.
Once they turned into Merchant
street, both felt the tension relax. Mar
tha would have liked to sit down, even
on the curb.
"I despise men," she volunteered.
"I am beginning to believe that few
of them are worth a thought. Those
vvho aren't fools are knaves."
"Are you sure of your judgment in
regard to this man Warrington? How
c~n you teil that he is any different
from that man Craig?"
"He is different, that Is all. This
afternoon he will come to tea. I shall
want you to be with us. Remember,
not a word of this disgraceful affair."
"Ah, Elsa. I am afraid; I am more
afraid of Warrington than of a man
of Craig's type."
"We are always quarreling, Martha;
and it doesn't do either of us any
good. When you oppose me I find that
that is the very thing I want to do.
You haven't any diplomacy."
Warrington's appearance that after
noon astonished Elsa. She had natu
rally expected some change, but
scarcely such elegance. He was. with
out question, one of the handsomest
men she had ever He was hand
somer than Artlwf because he was
more manly in type. What a mystery
he was! She greeted him cordially,
without restraint; but for all that, a
little shiver stirred the tendrils of hair
at the nape of her neck.
"The most famous man In Rangoon
today," she said, smiling.
"So you have read that tommy-rot
in the news taper?"
