Household Curios
Many old and iijjlv household articles
are, simply because they are old, called
"antiques.'' Now it is quite impossible
that it' the original owners could re
turn and see how modern women value
their former possessions they would
laugh, for in early days much was made
from makeshifts." Good material was as
high priced as it is now and far more
difficult to secure. Workmen >vere
often untrained an.l liadly designed fur
niture had to l>e endured and used be
cause nothing else was to be had. A
chair that was awkward and ugly two
linadred years ago is not beautiful to
day. Age does not hide a bad line or
mi ugly form, though curio dealers try
to make one think "it does. Cse your
l>est taste in choosing antiques, just as
you would with modern things.
We are all more or less romantic,
most of us more, and it is this quality
that makes us love heirlooms. Perhaps
there is some superstition in it. But
while we venerate relics suppose we
keep our wits about us and choose ob
jects that are useful as well a* iuter
e>ting; attractive as well as odd.
In Chats on Household Curios, W.
Jinrgess shows bv illustrations how
antiques can be selected wisely and
used well. He shows the curios of the

Badly displayed ofcrios have the same

If you have curios and show them you

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question. Dear Editor Efficient
Housekeeping: "Am I very old-fash
; ioned in giving ray family a napkin
ring each and expecting them to use
the same napkin several times? 1 un
derstand napkin rings are out of stvlef"
Reply.—This is something "that de
pends." It" your family is very large
vou would ha\e to have a great number
of napkins; twenty-one each week for
each member of the family. A family
of ten would use about two hundred a
■ week. Have yon that many napkins?
There is a new napkin clasp that is sold
in place of the ring but it is not a
iirent improvement. No sensible cus
tom ever goes "out of style."

Question. —"Please suggest some des
sert* that are not too rich. We use pie
once a day and 1 think it is not wise
to have it so often."
Reply.—When pastry is well made
it is too rich for daily eating; when
badly made it is never wholesome. Pud
dings, cornstarch custards, gelatine
, molds and all kinds of fruits offer a
long list to select from.

Question. —"Please give directions
for cooking scallopsV
Reply.—Dry Them in a napkin and
egg and bread them anil fry brown in
deep fat. They are also creamed and
are tine put on skewers with slices of

He looked at his watch; quarter
after two. If they were not in their
rooms he would have good grounds for
his auspicious. He stole along the gal
lery and down the stairs to the office.
Just in 'time to 3ee the two enter, much j
the worse for drink. Mallow was
boisterous, and Craig was sullen. The
former began to argue with the night
manager, who politely shook his head.
Mallow grew insistent, but the night
manager refused to break the rules
of the hotel. Warrington inferred that
Mallow was demanding liquor, and his
inference was correct. He moved a
little closer, still hidden behind the
potted palms.
"All right," cried Mallow. "We'll go
back to town for it."
"I've had enough," declared Craig
sullenly. "Let's cut out booze and play
a little hand or two."
"Fine!" Mallow slapped his thigh
as he laughed. "Nice bird I'd be for
you to pluck. Think of something
else. The billiard hall Is open."
Craig shook his head. When Mallow
was argumentative it was no time to
play billiards.
"Bah!" snarled Mallow. "Since you
won't drink like a man nor play bil
liards. I'm for bed. And just as the
fun was beginning!"
Craig nudged him warninglv. Mal
low stalked away, and Craig, realizing
that the night was done, followed.-
Warrington had seen and heard
enough. He was tolerably sure. It
might have been out of pure deviltry,
so far as Mallow was concerned: but
Craig had joined in hope of definite
profits. A fine pair of rogues!
He eyed indecisively the stairs and
then glanced toward the brilliant night
outside. It would not be possible to
sleep in that room again. So he tip
toed out to the cafe veranda and
dropped into a comfortable chair. He
would hunt them up some time during
the day. He would ask Mallow ' for
fifty pounds, and he sincerely hoped
that Mallow would refuse htm. For
he was grimly resolved that Mallow
should pay for those half-truths, more
damning than bald lies. It was due to
Mallow that he was never more to see
or speak to Elsa. He emptied the ash
from his cutty which he stowed away.
The great heartache and the great
er disillusion would not have fallen to
his lot had Elsa been frank in Ran
goon, had she but told him that she
was to sail on the same rteamer. He
would have put over his sailing. He
would have gone his way. still believ
ing himself to be a Bayard, a Galahad
or any other of those simple dreamers
who put honor and chivalry above and
before all other things.
Elsa! He covered«his face with his
hands and remained in that position
for a long while, so long indeed that
the coolies, whose business it was to
scrub the tilings every morning at
four, went about their work quietly for
fear of disturbing him.
Elsa had retired almost immediate
ly after dinner. She endeavored tc
finish some initial work on old era
broideries, but the needle insisted
upon pausing and losing stitch aftei
stitch. She went to bed and strove to
sleep, but that sweet healer came not
to her wooins. Nothing she did could
overcome the realization of the shoi ;
she had received. It had left her dull
and bewildered.
The name echoed and re-echoed
tßfrough her mind: Paul Ellison. It
should have been an illumination; in
stead, she had been thrust into utter
darkness. Neither Arthur nor his
mother had ever spoken of n brother,
and she had known them for nearl>
ten years. Two men, who might be
twin brothers, with the same name: it
was maddening. What could it meant'

outcast, with his funny parrakeet,
w-hat was he to them and they to
him? It must be, it must be! They
were brothers. Nature, full of amazing
freaks as she was, had not perpetrated
this one without calling upon a single
strain of blood.
She lay back among her pillows, her
eyes leveled at the few stars beyond
her door, opened to admit any cooling
I breeze. Her bead ached. It was like
tne computations or astronomers; tc j
a certain extent the human mind could j
grasp the distances but could not com- i
prehend them. It was more than
chance. Chance alone had not brought
him to the crumbling ledge. There

been written long before and that she

Paul Ellison.
She drew from the past those salient
recollections of Arthur and his moth- ;
er: First, the day the two had called
regarding the purcha.ie of a house that
her father had just put on the market
—a rambling old colonial affair, her
own mother's birthplace. Sixteen; she
had not quite been that, just free from
her school days in Italy. With the |
grand air of youth she had betrayed
the fact almost instantly, while wait
ing for her father to come into the
living room.
"Italy!" said Arthur's mother, whom
Elsa mentally adopted at once. The
stranger spoke a single phrase, which
Elsu answered in excellent if formal
Italian. This led from one question to
another. Mrs. Ellison turned out to
be a schoolmate of her mother's, and
she, Elsa. had inherited their very
room. What more was needed?
The Ellisons bought the house and
lived quietly within It. Society, and
there was a good deal of it In that
small Kentuckian city, society waited
for them to approach and apply for ad
mittance, but waited in vain. Mrs. El
lison never went anywhere. Her son
Arthur was a student aud preferred
his books. So eventually society intro
duced itself. Persons who ignored It
must be Interesting. When It became
known that Mrs. Ellison had been the
schoolmate of the beautiful and aristo
cratic wife of General Chetwood;
when the local bauker quietly spread
the information that the Ell'sons were
comfortably supplied with stocks and
bonds of a high order, society con
cluded that it could do very well with
out past history. That could come
later.
With her father dead. Elsa became
as much at home in the Ellison house
as in her own. But never, never any
where in the house, was there indica
tion of the existence of a brother, so
like Arthur that under normal condi
tions it would have been difficult to
tell them apart. Even when she used
to go up to the garret with Mrs. Elli
son, to aid her in rummaging some old
trunk, there came to light none of
those trifling knickknacka which any
mother would have secretly clung to,
no matter to what depth her flesh and
blood had fallen. Never had she seen
among the usual amateur photographs
one presenting two boys. Once she
had come across a photograph of a
smooth-faced youth who was in the
act of squinting along the top of an
engineer's triped. Arthur had laugh
ingly taken it away from her, saying
that it. represented him when he had
had ambitions to build bridges.
To build bridges. The phrase awoke
something in Elsa's mind. Bridges.
She sat up in bed, mentally keen for
the first time since dinner. "I have
built bridges in my time over which
trains are passing at this moment. 1
have fought torrents, and floods, and
hurricanes, and myself."
He was Paul Ellison, son and broth
er, and they had blotted him out of
their lives by destroying all physical
signs of him. There was something
inhuman in the dellberateness of it,
something unforgivable.
They had made no foolish attempt
to live under an assumed name. They
had come from New York to the little
valley in order to leave behind the
scene of their disgrace and all those
who had known them. Arthur was an
inveterate traveler. Half the year
found him in Europe, painting a little,
writing a little less, frequenting the
lesser known villages in France and
Italy. He did not care for horses, for
hunting, for sports of any kind. And
yet he was sturdy, clear-eyed, fresh
skinned. He walked always; he was
forever tramping off to the pine-hood
ed hills, with his painting kit over his
shoulders and his camp stool under
bis arm. Later, Elsa began to under
stand that he was a true scholar, pot
merely an educated man. He was be
sides a linguist of amazing facility, a
pianist who invariably preferred as
his audience his own two ears. Ar
thur would have been a great drama
tist or a great poet, if . . . If he
had fought for prizes coveted by man
kind, if he had thrown aside his
dreams and gone into the turmoil, it
he had taken up a man's burden and
carried it to success. Elsa. daughter
of a man who had fought in the great
arena front his youth to his death,
Elsa was not meant for the wife of a
dreamer.
Paul Ellison What was his crime
in comparison to his exuiation of it?
He had built bridges, fought torrents,
: hurricanes, himself. No, he was not a
; scholar; he saw no romance in the
multifarious things he had of neces
sity put his hand to; these had been
daily matter-of-fact occupations. A
1 strange gladness seemed to loosen the
tenseness of her aching nerves.
Then, out of the real world about
her, came with startling distinctness,
the shriek of a parrot. She would
i have recognized that piercing cry any
; where. It was Rajah. In the next
. room, and she had not known that
: Warrington (she would always know
him by that name) was stopping at
the same hotel! She listened intently.
Presently she heard muffled sounds; a
clatter of metal. A few minutes later
came softer tinkle, scurry of patter
ing feet, then silence.
