10 HOUSEHOLD TALKS \ Henrietta D. Grauel Improving the Home To "make two blades o£ grass grow where only one blade grew before," was once the great ambition of well meaning persons, but now men attempt V grow a better quality of grass than formerly for they have learned it is quality, not quantity that counts. The same demand for efficiency is found in the home. Efficiency in spend ing is an absolute requisite of the cents in the dollars are to be made go as far as possible. As a usual thing women have too lit tle money at a time to become good financiers. Often money comes to them at irregular times and there are so many places for every cent that there can be no planning for best re mits. These things are unfortunate but more unfortunate Btill is the woman who desires to keep up with her neigh- The Cook's Reputation Yon know that without good, reliable range coal all the skill of the cook, her la bor, her time and her reputa tion for cooking and baking —are in vain.

Success in spending comes with a sense of proportion and knowledge of relative values. How muck worry some women would be saved if they could only spend the same dollar twice. Cheap, showy furniture ami carpets are purchased because a greater quan tity of them can be had for a small sum than can be had of good sub stantial articles. The truth is that the more shoddy furnishings one has the worse the home appears. A look of substantial comfort is a welcome in any room and it gives the appearance of beauty. If one buys plain things that cost but little the work on them is in the material and the making and. though plain, they will, in all likelihood, last a long time. Extravagance is a relative term; if money is spent for things worth while, for tilings that last and give value for price pahl the purchase is not extrava gant. Woman is really the object of much that is produced for she spends eiglity five per cent, of the money in circula tion. All things, very nearly, are made to attract her and to appeal to her eye, so that she is a factor in the commer cial world. Often women do not sus pect this .economic power they hold. When they do their conscience will guide their expenditures. A very little money will buy a great amount of comfort for it is greatly dependent on neatness and order. Money or the mere possession of the things bought for money cannot create beauty in careless arrangement or in disorder. Lovely pictures on the walls, blooming plants in the windows, costly brie-abrae may be pleasing but if they represent worry, debt and trouble the pleasure is lost in unpleasant thoughts. We have been, critics tell us, a most extravagant nation. In this present time of financial stringency is an op portunity to correct this and improve our homes and our ways. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question. —Please tell me how to make whitewash or kalsomine stick to walls? Reply.—Add two ounces of comluon glue dissolved in water, to every two! pounds of the whiting. After dissolv ing the whiting in water add the glue I and thin the mixture with skim-mild to a consistency that will let it be ap-' plied with brush. This will stick to i any surface that is not oily. The white- ! wash can be colored with dry paint powder to any desired shade.'

Into French. He did not know that they ran something like this: Good keep you safe, m.v love. All through the night; Rest close In his encircling arms Until the light. And there was more ot it 1-Ie only knew that there was a pathos in the tune which spoke to his warm heart; which caressed and captivated hlra and which made him long deeply for a happiness he thought It most unlikely he would ever know. There had been many pictures added to his collection; Miss Redmond at dinnei Miss Julia Redmond —he knew hei first name now—before the piano; Miss Rectmonct in a smart coat walk llig with him down the alley while Pitchoune «ihn:f<i livtne leaves nm an parittons of rr.bbtts hither and tnitner. The Count de Sabron had always dreaded just what happened to him. He had fallen in love with a woman beyond his reach, for he had no for tune whatsoever, nothing but his cap tain's pay and his hard soldier's life, a wanderer's life and one which he hesitated to ask a woman to share. In spite of the fact that Madame d'Esclignac was agreeable to him, she was not cordial, and he understood that she did not consider him a parti for her niece. Other guests, as well as he, had shared her hospitality. He had been jealous of them, thougb he j could not help seeing Miss Redmond's | preference for himself. Not that ha wanted to help it. He recalled that she had really sung to him, decidedly j walked by his side when there had I been more than the quartette, and lie j felt, in short, her sympathy. "Pitchoune," he said to his compan | lon, "we are better off in Algiers, rnon j vieux. The desert is the place for us. j We shall get rid of fancies there and j do some hard fighting one way or an ! other." ; Pitchoune, whose eyes had followed the cat out of sight, sprang upon his master and seemed quite ready for the new departure. "I shall at least have you," Sabron said. "It will be your first campaign. We shall have some famous runs and I shall introduce you to a camel and make you acquainted with several donkeys, not to speak of the historic j Arab steeds. You will see, my friend, I that there are other animals besides I yourself in creation." " A telegram for mon capitaine." | Brunet came in A ith the blue envelope which Sabron tore open. Tou will take with you neither horses nor dogs. It was an order from the minister of war, just such a one as was sent to ! some half-dozen other young officers, all of whom, no doubt, felt more or less discomfited. Sabron twisted the telegram, put it ; in the fireplace and lighted his ciga rette with It, watching Pitchoune who, finding himself a comfortable corner in the armchair, had settled down for a nap. "So," nodded the young man aloud, j "I shall not even have Pitchoune." He smoked, musing. In the rigid dis- ; cipline of his soldier's life he was used ■ to obedience. His softened eyes, how ever, and his nervous fingers as they pulled at his mustache, showed that j the command had touched him. "What shall I do with you, old fel- ' low?" Although Sabron's voice was low, I the dog, whose head was down upon his paws, turned his bright brown I eyes on his master with so much con fidence and affection that it completed the work. Sabron walked across the : floor, smoking, the spurs on his heels i clanking, the light shining on his bril- ] liant boots and on his uniform. He was a splendid-looking man with race and breeding, and he c6mbined with : his masculine force the gentleness of ■ a woman. "They want me to be lonely," he thoughts "All that the chiefs consider is the soldier—not the man—even the ; companionship of my dog is denied me. What do they think I am going to do out there in the long eastern evenings?" He reflected. "What does the world expect an uncompanioned wanderer to do?" There are many things and the less thought about them, the better. "A letter for Monsieur le Capitaine." j Brunet returned with a note which he 1 presented stiffly, and Pitchoune, who i chose in his little brain to imagine i Brunet an intruder, sprang from the chair like lightning, rushed at the servant, seized the leg of his panta- j loons and began to worry them, growl ing, Brunet regarding him with adora- | tion. Sabron had not thought aloud ; the last words of the telegram, which ; he had used to light his cigarette. j . . . Nor will It be necessary to take j a personal servant. The Indigenes are I capable ordonnances. I As he took the letter from Brunet's ' salver he said curtly: "I am ordered to Algiers and I shall not take horses nor Pitchoune." The dog, at mention of his name, eet Brunet's leg free and stood quiet, his head lifted. "Nor you either, mon brave Bru net." Sabron put his hand on his servant's shoulder, the first familiarity he had ever shown a man who served him with devotion, and who would have given his life to save his mas ter's. "Those." said the officer curtlv. | "are the orders trom neaaquarters, ana i ; the least eald about them the better." - | The ruddy cheek of the servant . | turned pale. He mechanically touched t i his forehead. i; "Bien. mon Capitaine," he mur t i mured, with a little catch in his voice, i He stood at attention, then wheeled ! and without being dismissed, stalked out of the room. Pitchoune did not follow. He re mained immovable like a little dog cut ■ from bronze; he understood —who r | shall £ay—how much of the conversa s tion? Sabron threw away his ciga rette, then read his letter by the man i tleplece, leaning his arm upon It. He i | read slowly. He had broken the sea) ' slowly. It was the first letter he had ] ever seen in this handwriting. It was I | written in French and ran thus: Monsieur—My aunt wishes me to ask ; you if you will come to us for a little I muslcale tomorrow afternoon. We hope you will be free, and I hope, she added. ; ! that you will bring Pitchoune. Not that j I think he will care for the music, but afterward perhaps he will run with us as ' we walk to the gate. My aunt wishes me | to say that she has learned from the col • j onel that you have oeen ordered to Al l Kiel's. 11l this way she says that we shall . - ave an opportunity ot wishing you bor j IHI A M yy y wi 111 He Stood Long Musing. voyage, and X say 1 hope Pitchoune will be a comfort to you The letter ended in the usual formal French fashion Sabron, turning Hie letter and rereading it, found that it completed the work that had been go- j ing on in his lonely heart. Ho stood j long, musing. Pitchoune laid himself down on the j rug, his bright little head between his paws, his affectionate eyes on his mas j i ter. The firelight shone on them both, j the musing young officer and the al- j most human-hearted little beast. So j Brunet found them when he came in j with the lamp shortly, and as he set ! it down on the table and its light | shone on him, Sabron, glancing at the ordonnance, saw that his eyes were I red, and liked him none the less for It CHAPTER VII. A Soldier's Dog. "It Is just, as I thought," he told Pitchoune. "I took you into my life, i you little rascal, against my will, and i ! now, although it's not your fault, you I ' are making me regret it. I shall end, | j Pitchoune, by being a cynic and mis- ! | cgynist, and learn to make idols of i i my career and my troops alone i ! all, they may he tiresome, but they i don't hurt as you do, and some other j things as well." Pitchoune, being invited to the musicaie at the Chateau d'Esclignac, | went along with his master, running be- ; hind the captain's horse. It was a j ! heavenly January day,-soft and mild, j i full of sunlight and delicious odors, ' and over the towers of King Rene's ; castle the sky banners were made of ; celestial blue. ; The officer found the house full of j people. He thought it hard that he might not have had one more intimate : picture to add to his collection. When j ! he entered the room a young man was playing a violoncello. There was a I group at the piano, and among the peo- j | pie the only ones he clearly saw were 1 the hostess, Madame d'Esclignac in i ! a gorgeous velvet frock, then Miss j : Redmond, who stood by the window, I listening to the music. She Baw him j come in and smiled to him, and from that moment his eyes hardly left her. j What the music was that afternoon j the Count do Sabron could not have ; told very Intelligently. Much of it was sweet, all of it was touching, but when j Miss Redmond stood to sing and chose : the little song of which he had made ; ; a lullaby, and sang it divinely, Sab i ron, his hands clasped behind his back ; and his head a little bent, still looking j at her, thought that his heart would | break. It was horrible to go away and j not tell her. It was cowardly to feel | so much and not be able to speak it. ; , And he felt that he might be equal I to some wild deed, such as crossing the room violently, putting his hand over her slender one and saying: "1 am a soldier; I have nothing but a soldier's life. I am going to Africa tomorrow. Come with me; I want you. come!" All of which, slightly impossible and ! quite out of the question, nevertheless charmed and soothed him. The words of her English song, almost barbaric to him because incomprehensible, fell on hia ear*. Its melody was already « K H ft K St E. AUGHINBAUGH I THE UP-TO-DATE PRINTING PLANT | i J. L. L.

"Monsieur de Sabron," said Madame d'Esclignac, "you are going away to morrow?" "Yes, Madame." "I expect you will be engaged in some awful native skirmishes.

The young soldier's dark eyes rest ed almost hostilely on the gorgeous marquise in ner red gown, ife felt that she was glad to have him go. He .wanted to say: "I shall come back, however; 1 shall come back and when I return" . . . but he knew that such a boast, or even such a hope was fruitless.

As the marquise moved away tier progress was some- j thing like the rolling of an elegant velvet chair and while his feelings ! were still disturbed Miss Redmond crowed the room to him. Before Sab ron quite knew how thejr had been able to escape the others or leave the room, he was standing with her in the winter garden where the sunlight came in through trellises and tho perfume of the warmed plants was heavy and sweet. Before them flowed the Rhone, aolden in the winter's light, j The blue river swept its waves around j old Tarascon and the battlements of King Rene's towers.
