10 ■ HOUSEHOLD TALKS Henrietta D. Grauel Influential Homes Grown persojis who have memories of plensant home lift' of their younger davß possess an invaluable legacy. There is no form of influence so on durinjf as that of the home ami its power is continuous. One cannot define the magnetic qual ity of home love; some say it lies in sonjf and there are few descriptions of home given where music is not men tioned. Hume songs «re pure gold and things of truth, they seem to make characters strong and tender, but the home of to-day has been invaded by worthless doggerel and tuneless rhymes. Tll a popular magazine, a writer de clares that, "the ponular catchy song is usually shocking, its words sugges tive and it> influence evil." Mr. De Koven wrote, "song is an repression of purest harmony of soul and physical life, voicing thought too beautiful for words." Do the new popu lar rag-time songs do that?

The higher the percentage of carbon the better the coal and the more heat you will' get with less ashes. A coal dealer must have considerable experience to be able to select the grades that will give the best results to his customers. Not all coal is alike, there are more than 300 Anthracite Mines in this State, so good judgment must be used to select the high quality kind. We recommend our Wilkes-Barre coal to be as high in carbon as any coal that comes to Harrisburg. Ask for it by name. United Ice & Coal Co.

MARCH 9, 1915 came in contact with it accidentally. Miss Richland writes in this love story or home life: "There was something home-like in the hall with its quaint landscape i»nper. perceptibly worn and faded turkey red carpet, wide spindle balustraded stairway with the old clock on its landing, but more than all the distinctive sense of home came from sounds of laughter, of music close at hand." In "Little Women." I.ouise Al oott had the March girls gather round the old piano and sing the sweet old songs that live and seem to speak to us of all the family. Better songs in the home is one of the ends for which civic workers strive. Heurv Ward Beeeher wrote 011 the subject, Phillips Brooks preached about it aud Francis Willard said that a great tide of harmony went up to God when "Home, Sweet Home." the lovely air attuned to all that is holy and dear, was sung. The "good" songs are ballads and national songs that have lived. If your family .sings "America," "The Star Spankled Banner," "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," "Ben Bolt." "The Swanee River," "My Old Kentucky Home." aud other old familiar airs that age has not withered and that custom will never stale, they will not like the guadv, flashy rag time music of the street and questionable music hall.

March 9. —When Kate Hayes, a scrubwoman at the Vauderbilt hotel, was taken ill and it became neces sary to send her to a hospital, she asked the housekeeper, Katherine Lee, to do her a favor. This request turned out a huge sur prise. being nothing less than the cus tody of thirty-six envelopes, the pay of three years, none of which had been opened. During all this time the scrub woman had never been outside the hotel. pabm&CQ.

"But 1 might be one of the dissent ing judges." "That Is because you are one wom an In a thousand." "No; I simply have a mind of my own, and often prefer to be guided by It. I am not a sheep." Silence. The lap-lap of the w«ter, the long slow rise and fall, and the dartling flying-fish apparently claimed their attention. But Warrington saw nothing Bare the danger, the dauger to himself and to her. At any moment he might flin* ms arms around her, without his hay ing the power to resist. She called to him as nothing in the world had called before. But she trusted him, and Be cause of this he resolutely throttled the recurring desires. She was right. He had scorned what she had termed as woman's intlnct. She had read him with a degree of accuracy. In the eyes of Ood he was a good man, a de pendable man; but he was not impos sibly good. He was human enough to want her, human enough to appreciate the danger in which she stood of him. "Tell me about the man who looks like me." His gaze roved out to sea, to the white islands of vapor low-lying in the east. "In what respect does he resemble me?" "His hair Is yellow, his eyes are blue, and he smiles the same way you do." He felt the lump rise and swell in t his throat. "If you stood before a mirror you would see him. But there the re semblance ends." "Is he a man who does things?" a note of strained curiosity in hiß tones. Ten years! . "In what way do you mean?" "Does he work in the world, does he invent, build, finance?" Mayhap her eyes deceived her, but the tan on his face seemed less brown i than yellow. "No; Mr. Ellison is a collector of | paintings, of rugs, of rare books and china. He's a bit detached, as dream- j ers usually are. He has written a book of exquisite verses. . . . You are smiling," she broke off suddenly, her eyes filling with cold lights. "A thousand pardons! The thought was going through my head how un like we are indeed. I can hardly tell one master from another, all old books look alike to me. and the same with china. I know something about rugs; but I couldn't write a jingle if it was to save me from hanging." "Do you Invent, build, finance?" A bit of a gulf had opened up between them. Elsa might not be prepared to marry Arthur, but she certainly would not tolerate a covert sneer in regard to his accomplishments. Quietly and with dignity he an swered: "I have built bridges in my time over which trains are passing at this moment. I have fought torrents,; and floods, and hurricanes, and myself. I have done a man's work. I had a fu ture, they said. But here I am, a sub ject of your pity." She instantly relented. "But you are young. You can begin again." "Not in the sense you mean." "And yet, you tell me you are going back home." "Like a thief in the night," bitterly. CHAPTER XI. The Blue Feather. Elsa toyed with her emeralds, ap- \ parently searching for some flaw. Like j a thief in the night was a phrase that • rang unpleasantly in her ears. Her: remarkable interest in the man was neither to be denied nor ignored. To ; receive the cut direct from a man l whose pomposity and mental density had excited her wit and amusement, surprised her even if it did not hurt. It had rudely awakened her to the fact! that, her independence might be lead ing her into a laybrinth. Something new had been born in j her. All her life she had gone about calmly and aloofly, her head in the clouds, her feet on moiyitain tops. She | had never done anything to arouse j discussion in other women. Perhaps I suoh a situation had never confronted j her until lately. She had latelv looke'l | forth upon life through the lenses of mild cynicism. So long as she was rich she might, with impunity, be aa j indiscreet as she pleased. Her money would plead forgiveness and tolera tion. . . Elsa shrugged. But! shrugs do not dismiss problems. She ; could have laughed. To have come all this way to solve a riddle, only to find a second more confusing than the first! Like a thief in the night. She did not care to know what he had done, not half so much as to learn what he ' had been. Peculations of some order; of this she was reasonably sure. So' why seek for details, when these might be sordid? Singapore would see the end, and i she would become her normal self j again. She clasped the necklace around her ! lovely throat She was dressing for | dinner, really dressing. An Impish mood filled her with the Irrepressible desire to shine in all her splendor to night Covertly she would watch the eyes of mediocrity widen. Hitherto j they had seen her in the simple white of travel. Tonight they should behold the woman who had been notable among the beauties in Paris, Vienna, Rome, London; who had not married a duke simply because his title could not have added to the security of her scsltion. socially or financially. I into the little mirror above the wash stand she peered, with smiling and ap proving eyes. Never had she looked better. There was unusual color In her cheeks and the clarity of her eyes spoke illuminatlngly of superb health. The An on her face was not made noticeable in contrast by her shoulders and arms, old ivory in tint and as smooth and glossy its ancient Carrara. "You lovely creature!" murmured Martha, touching an arm with her lipa. "You are foolish to dress like this." She finished the hooking of Elsa's waist. "And why?" "In the first place there's nobody worth the trouble; and nobody but a duchess or a . . Martha paused embarrassedly. "Or a what? An improper person?" Elsa laughed. "My dear Martha, your comparisons are faulty. 1 know but two duchesses in this wide world who are not dowdies, and one of them is an American. An improper person is gen erally the most proper, outside her pe culiar environments. Can't you sug , gest something else?" Martha searched but found no suit able reply. She believed that she saw more clearly into the future than Elsa. Someone would talk, and in that strange inscrutable fashion scandal i has of reaching the ends of the earth, the story would eventually arrive home; and there, for all the profes sions of friendship, it would tlnd admit j tance. No door is latched when scan ' dal knocks. Martha readily appreci ated that it was all harmless, to be ex pressed by a single word, whim. But Martha herself never acted upon Im pulse; she first questioned what the world would say. So run the sheep. For years Martha had discharged her duties, if mechanically yet with a sense of pleasure and serenity. At this moment she was as one pushed unexpectedly to the brink of a preci pice. over which the slightest misstep "Is He a Man Who Does Things?" nuuiu luppie lit-1. ino vvunu waß OUI of joint. "1 wish we had gone to Italy," she remarked finally. "It would not have served my pur pose in the least. I should have been dancing and playing bridge and going to operas. I should have had no time for thinking." "Thinking!" Martha elevated her brows with an air that implied that she greatly doubted this statement. "Yes, thinking. It is not necessary that 1 should mope and shut myself up in a cell, Martha, in order to think. ] have finally come to the end of my doubts, if that will gratfy you. From now on you may rely upon one thing, to a certainty." Martha hesitated to put the ques tion. "I am not going to marry Arthur. He is charming, graceful, accom plished; but I want a man. I should not be happy with him. I can twist him too easily around my finger. I ad mit that he exercises over me a cer tain indefinable fascination; but when he is out of sight it amounts to the sum of all this doddering and doubt ing. It is probable that 1 shall make an admirable old maid. Wisdom has its disadvantages. I might be very happy with Arthur, were I not so wise." She smiled again at the reflec tion in the mirror "Now, let us go and astonish the natives." There was a mild flutter of eyelids as she sat down beside Warrington and began to chatter to him in Italian. He made a brave show of following her, but became hopelessly lost after a few minutes. Elsa spoke fluently; twelve years had elapsed since his last visit to Italy. He admitted his con fusion, and thereafter it was only oc casionally that she brought the tongue into the conversation. This diversion, which she employed mainly to annoy her neighbors, was, in truth, the very worst thing she could have done. They no longer conjectured; they as sumed.
