A side issue of his great friends, the Beales, had failed, carrying down en army of credulous investors. Walter went to his uncle and sug gested what aslsbtahce and sympathy, he might proffer, but the sullen old man rebuffed him. That very after noon a barefooted, wild-eyed' girl rushed into his office. "Oh, Doctor Ridley!" she pasped., "there's been an accident Miss Dar ley—" and fainted away. Walter was at the works .fast as hla feet could carry him.

He heard that Mr. Weare was severely ill with a contagious disease, but he was not aent for. "Then Bertha waa absent from home for two veeks.

Panic has been made into 'panlk* and check Into 'scheck,' record Is 'rekord'- wheri the German uses the word, and strike, In order to preserve the proper pronun ciation, is written, 'streik.'

MERRI'S ADVICE SUGQE8TION8 FOR A MERRY HAL LOWE'EN PARTY. i' v.. The Night and Its Associations Lend Themselves Readily, to the Mak Ing of Most Enjoyable En-'" .tertalnment. Early in October the letters begin to arrive asking for suggestions for tho ever-popular Hallowe'en frolic, which occurs upon the last day of this ^glorious month: Each year it seems aa if there could be nothlng,neyr,but I never fall to And some clever favor or-some different way to present the old stunts.. We all love mystery, and as time goes on there are always, young people for whom it may be a first time to celebrate this fascinating special day. Witches, bats, owls and black*-pussy cats, with Jack o'l&nterns of all slzqp, are the accessories one must have, and-our Irish'friends In clude the fairies, brownies, and all the wee folks who dive and delve in the underground world. First of all, there must be an invi tation that will tell a bit what the party la to be, and to add to the fun have these mysterious messages de livered by a little "brownie*' carrying a witches' lanterd' (','Jack lantern"). This invitation may be written upon #narrow strip', of paper and enclosed in an English walnut shell from which the. meat has .been removed. Glue the edges toget&er, leaving an end of red and yellow baby ribbon cut to which to attach a wee envelope with the address upon it and on the card In side write "Crack the nut and a mes sage you'll' find, which answer at once and you'll be kind." To save space this Invitation may be written on the typewriter: I am going to have a party, On Hallowe'en night at eight. The witches and ghosts are coming. So be sure and not come late. Marjorie King. If the hOBtesa wishes, she may tel ephone all the girls and ask them to come dreBsed as ghosts and ask them to come 15 minutes before the hour: Bet. It will be best for the. one who opens' the door to be dressed as a witch, in red cape, black skirt, and tall black hat with a red band. Sew black paper cats, owls, bats and lizards on the cape and ornament the hat with the very realistic spiders that are made of wire and for sale at the fa vor counter. After the boys come, and tbey may wear, brownie and hobgoblin costumed if they like, ask them Into the living room and let the gboats file' in one by. one.. No one must-speak a work except the hostess, who will ask them to form for the Virginia' reel, which they must do, silently. If by a laugh or familiar gesture a boy guesses who a girl is, and correctly,, she removes her ghost costume. Dancing will probably be the favorite amusement At 12 serve refresh ments from a table with a witch's cal dron for a centerpiece, made from a black kettle, mounted on broom stick bandies. Run red and yellow ribbon' to each place (Jock Horner pie style) and attach the ribbons to tiny witches' caldrons at each place, made by fas tening three sticks of red and yellow candy into a tripod and filling the ket tle (doll size) with safced nuts. In the center of the caldron have far vors Indicative of the future, like a' week book for the.

GOOD IDEA FOR PIPE RACK Horseshoe Design-Is One.of the Most Popular Among Men Who Use" Fraa«"*nt Weed. This'-practical pipe rack 1a quite easy to make and it would form an acceptable gift to a smoker, aa it is constructed to represent a horseshoe it should bring good luck to the recipi ent. In making it,. In the first place, a "horseshoe" is cut out in stiff card board. It should measure six Inches In width and 7% Inches in height. The card Is smoothly covered --with gray watered ellk and edged with a white silk cord. Seven little rings (bone, brass 6r ordinary key rings well answer the purpose) are tied on to the shoe w|th narrow ribbon in the position of the nails in a real horse shoe.. :V BEST WAYj TO MEND GLOVES |.-T—— Neat and- Durable Method Outlined Here, lr Worth Most Careful risrSi" Consideration, i-f A heat and durable method of^ mend ing kid gloves is to buttonhole around the' edges of the tear or hole in the glove before drawing the sides of the worn place together. The mending stitches will not then be so likely to tear out.' When cleaning white kid gloves, put one of the gloves upon the hand (the other hand muet be left free to do the work) and immerse in a basin of gaso line. Wet a small soft brush with the liquid and rub upon ^t a good white soap. Scrub the glove gently with the soap and gasoline, rinse in clean gaso line and hang' lit the shade t» dry. Treat the other glove in the same man ner. The rinsing gasoline may be re turned to a separate bottle for future use in washing, but not rinsing gloves. The soapy—gasoline is, of course, thrown away. Gently pull and stretch tnt after they are dry, before attempting to put them on the hands. -j-, WjjgtJwJ-. Jr-i HOLDS UMBRELLA OR PARASOL Useful Caal, Easily Designed ^and Made, Wi|l. Protect Articles When '6ns Is Traveling. Both umbrellas and sunshades should be covered when one is travel ing, to keep them from duat. The mak ing Of such a case as we show here is quite a simple matter. It Ib very useful as a. woolen scarf or1 other small wraps, and a wooly cap may easily be rolled up in it as well as the umbrellas. There are varluos materials in which it may be made. A piece of water proof shieetlng or cravenette material if it is likely to be where It may get wet or for inside a carriage, linen pr holland may be used but it must be at least eight Inches wider than the length of the umbrella, and not less ttyan half a yard across. The lining and places for the pock ets will bo. seen from the Illustration they should be sufficiently wide at the top for the rolled-up umbrella or sun shade, and long enough to cover it completely fix them on the lining aijd stitch them as shown '-the edge of-the top should be turned In with a deep hem or bound to strengthen It after & A these are fixed, place the lining over the outside and bind* the edges with braid or ribbon. *1 Initials or'monogram of the owner may be- .worked on the end that wraps over and ribbons sewn on so that when the casjp is rolled round it may be tied up securely: the outstanding ends may be wrapped over the um brellas before they are tied up: Tinted Curtains. White curtains are apt to soil* very quickly. It Is a good plan to tint them an ecru or yellow shade, ^although their appearance may not be quite so quite 4 of dainty as when their lace it snowy hue... Rinsing the curtains In weak tea or coffee results In" a pretty shade of ecru, but, as the stain washes out, the tinting must be'repeated each time the curtains are cleaned. Horse radish dye Is more permanent, but It will hot resist soda. It is prepared by boiling two handsful of bOTseradlsh leaves in half a gallon of water for 30 minutes. Strain this decoration and then steeD the curtains In it until the desired shade, is' obtained.- Rinse through cold water before hanging them up to dry. When VIeitlng. Put Into your suitcase or trunk a strong sash curtain ^extension rod and several long hat'pins. If space is lim ited, stretch'this rod upon/the hook supports of the closet. Hang waists and light skirts of this rod by pass ing the hat pin through one aide of the eollar band. or. skirt band,'then over the rod and through the other side. Diagram A, on the left,' explains how this may be done. Two little slits are made with the point of a pen knife through the shoe, and the rib bon is threaded through the two silts in the way illustrated and It is an easy matterthen to tie the ring in ita Place. The rings hang downwdrdd, and to Insert the pipes tliey merely have to be lifted forward and the^ stems of the pipes placed in them in the man ner shown in diagram B, on the right of the sketch. A smart bow, with a loop arranged above it, Is sewn on to the top of the rack, and by {.his loop the rack may be suspended from a nail in the wall. Instead of the ribbon a ring' may be sewn on if preferred, and will answer the same purpose. Invisible Darn. For most rents-baste a piece of thin paper under the rent, drawing it into perfect shape then darn neatly with ravelings of the material. If one has no pieces these can sometimes be ob tained from the raw edges of the skirt gores. A French._.patch i8 made with out turning the edges under. The piece la smoothly fitted in and a piece of thin paper basted on. The edges of the patch are then darned with very fine stitches. Always press a darn carefully after finishing It. To Color Gloves. To color kid gloves, put a handful of logwood Into a bowl, cover with alcohol and let It soak for a day. Put one glove on the hand, dip a small cloth or sponge Into the liquid, wet the glove 411 over, rub it dry and hard Until It shines and It will be a nice purple. Repeat the process, and it will be black. For a Linen Gown. It Is remarkable how really "dressy" a simple linen gown may be made to 109k by'using detachable cuffs, collar and .girdle of satin. -A woman whose purse Is very slender, but who always appears well dressed, waa recently seen in a pale-green linen on which she had put cuffa and collar of black satin embroidered* In a large scroll design of pale green, the exact shade of the linen. Sh# wore a pleated gir dle with one long embroidered end. A few mornings after she was seen In a perfectly plain green linen with white collar and cuffs—the same gown, denuded of Its silken trappings. To the masculine eye (a quite im portant one) milady had two green linen frocks. Newest Scarf. The newest scarf is that made of embroidered tulle, bordered with ma rabou or swansdown and lightly fringed at the'ends. These scarfs are very wide and long. The effec tive thing Is to wind them loosely about the figure., with one long end thrown over the left shoulder. lr --«." v.*. ALMOST EQUAL TO CHICKEN Salad Made From Leftover Portions of Veal Joint Will Be Found Most Acceptable. After all available slices have been cut from the cold roast veal, and Just before the remaining bone goes into the stew or soup pot, there will be usually a few choice bits of white meat to be cut from portions here and thero which will make a perfect substitute for chicken s^lad. On dayB when poultry Is cooked a little of the fat .can be skimmed from the rlbhest •to^k or saved from the roast or fricassee. This, flavored with a little of the juice of chicken meat and thoroughly cooked, can be put away In a sealed jar or jelly glass for flavoring purposes. Chop the veal Into small bits, mix with the flavored chicken fat in quantity sufficient to flavor the veal, and add to this an equal amount of chopped celery, pre pared carefully by removing the stringy portion and leaving only the tender. Juicy Interior. Where the meat portion Is deficient a little crisp .lettuce broken into bits is sometimes^ an addition, saving some of the per-* feet leaves In which to place the filling. Make a mayonnaise dressing by using the yolks of one or two eggs, according to quantity desired, and beating in, drop by drop, suffi cient olive oil to thicken to the con sistency of heavy cream. Any hard boiled eggs left can be utilized to imprpve the salad, the white cut into )strips for the filling and the'yolks nibbed to a paste and added to the mayonnaise. Season dressing with salt, lemon juice, cayenne, a few dropB onion Juice, celery salt and some of the chicken flavoring. Mix some of the mayonnaise with the meat filling, pour Into the care fully arranged lettuce leaves that line the salad dish put some extra mayonnaise on top or' reserve to serve with each portion, chill and garnish with the white tips of celery. This makes a delicious, dainty and In expensive salad, a perfect substitute for chicken filling, and can be pre pared entirely from leftovers If the precaution is taken to save the email amount of chicken /fat and flavoring required. Mutton Steak." Florentine. Cut the meat of a leg of mutton In thick slices, rub each slice, over with salt, pepper and grated nutmeg on b6th sides. Season bread crumbs jwlth thyme, savory, cloves, mace, salt and pepper, and bind them with beaten yolks of eggs. Then divide and mold the mixture into small balls. Butter the edges of a pie dish, line 'thim with paste and put in the slices of mutton/ together with the balls, also four chopped shallots, a little powdered herbs and two or three an chovies.

Af cheap and durable toaster for a gas stove Is. a piece of sheet iron. Over this a' five-cent wire toaster can be used without danger of burning blackening the bread. BOOK HEROINE IN DUB CLASS Plain Mrs. Brown Proved by Figures That She Had Her Beaten With out Any Trying. Old Brown looked up from his book and across at his wife. "In this book," he said, "the heroine fails in love with the hero at first sight, and then waits ten years for him." '"What of that?" pooh-poohed Mrs. Brown. "Why, I've waited 20 years for you." "Twenty years!" gasped old Brown. "Why, you snipped at me when I popped the question after we'd been courting a year."* "I know," replied his better half. "And since then I've waited about five years for you to return from foot ball' matches, and four from cricket matches, and three for that new dress that, your 'dead certainty' has been go ing to provide. I've waited upstairs, downstairs, inside, outBlde—in fact I've waiited so long and regularly that, between you and me, that hero of yours strikes me as a miserable, im patient little mugwump!"—London Tit-Bits. Presumption. Seth Low, the president of the Na tional Civic Federation, said in New York the other day of an article against arbitration: "The author of that article shows an amazing degree of ighorance. He shows presumption, too. He is like little Willie Budd. "A man rang the bell at Willie Budd's house one day, and Willie, aged eight, answered It 'Is Mr. Budd in?' said the man.
