She was a very methodical young woman and she worked in one of the government laboratories producing some very complicated sort of sta tistics every day but Sundays, holi days and the two weeks of her vaca tion. And it was one of the labo ratories where thcose- two weeks of vacation might he taken to suit the convenience of the wage earner at any time between June and the end of September. Miss Methodical went about the problem of selecting her two weeks with the same precision with which determined in the morning whether she would need to carry an umbrella with her that day or decided the color and cut of her new suits all with de liberation and dispassion. Other young women might have been influenced by the consideration of when their friends were going va cationing, but not so with Miss Meth odical. She rcasoncl out that the worst thing that could happen to any vacation was to have it coincide with a set of rainy days, and that one might as well have no vacation at all as to lake it when the skies were pouring rain. She, therefore, consult ed the weather reports for the last twenty years enough to establish a scientific av erase and after due figuring she discocrcd which twe consecutive weeks between June I and October I are lcat likely to hae rain and, with the calm -alisfaction that comes with scientific achievement, hc rcquc-trd and had granted to her the privilege to take her two weeks v. ithin this dry season. Well, you caii imagine what hap pened just what usually does with such carefully laid plans. The very weeks that she had chosen as on the average mot favorable to vacations proved to be that vummer. the very wettest, and the days of her aca-, tion v ere nio'tlv --pent waiting in vain for sV:c to grow brighter.

This is made possible by the arrival of a noveltv in the shape of win dow shades of glazed flowered chintz. These shades will not only do duty for shutting out the view and glare.- but will serve as the decorative feature as well.

To temain oung. drink water pure and soft water." So s.i s a famous physician. Age. he says, "is dryness and ossification " The summer, which naturally produces thirst for water, is a good time to de velop the health-giving habit of water drinking. Different authorities give different amounts of water as the proper ones to drink, but no hard and fast set of rules on this subject can be laid down. Drink a little more water In the course of tho day than j.ou are in the habit of drink ing: that is a good rule for the beginner. Gradually increase the amount until every day jou aic drinking from three pints to two quarts of water. There is a difference of opinion as to the best time to drink water. Some physicians and dieticians say not to drink It with the meals, and some say that It Is needed then. The only way to find out whether it agrees with you at mealtimes is to try drinking It then. If you have indigesion after meals, try eat ing without drinking, and drink between meals. A glassful of water as soon as you waken in the morning is a good thing. Another at bedtlmo is good. If clear water is unpleasant to you, and It Is to some persons, try drinking it with a little lemon Juice, without sugar, squeezed Into It. The lemon Juice gives It some character and taste. This Is not lemonade, however, of the sweet, over flavored sort. ThU sweet lemonade does not take the place of water. Neither does milk, which Is a food In Itself, and which really does not contain such a large percentage of water as asparagus does; and neither do the usual bever ages, coffee, tea and chocolate. They are either -tlmulants or food drinks, and In no w' supply the part, which water should tike.

Todav is the fourteenth birthda of the little girl who is said to be the prettiest princess in Europe Yol?nde. daughter of King Victor Kmmanuel III and his wife. Queen Helene. of Italy. Today is also the one hundred and third birthday of Camilla Dufour Toul min. novelist and translator. Her birth place and home was in England and at an early age she showed remaikahl precocity. At three she could read with ease. When she was eight her father died. leaving Camilla and several vonncer daughters unprovided for. thus depriving her of the advantages of schooling. But Camilla more than made up for this deprivation by private read ing and study. It vvas not till she was twenty-six that she began to write, but her literary ca reer was not a long one. For fifty years sh was a constant contributor to Chamber's Magazine, a record in maga zine writing that has seldom been equaled. At thirty-two Camilla Toulmin mar ried, becoming Mrs. Newton Crosland. although in her profession she was still known by her maiden name. Her hus band was a London wino merchant of literary and scientific tastes. Shortly after her marriage Camilla became greatly interested in the subject of spir itualism. .In which she vvas a thorough believer, and her book on tho subject, "Light in the Valley." called forth a good deal of amusement and criticism. Her translations of the novels of Vic tor Hugo are her greatest contribution to literature and show remarkable abll ity in the use of the English language. At eighty she wrote her memolr3 called "Landmarks of a Literary Life," which met with great success. (Corrrmht. wis) DMLY SHORT STORY. GERALD'S WIFE. By IZOLA FORRESTER. Brodcrlck swung off the 4:33 express, walked quickly up the steps leading from the railroad platform, and took his first look at nnevine. inose wno uvea in Pinevllle proper were content to call It Pihcvillc. Gerald had written that they did not live in Pinevllle proper but In Plneville-by-the-Sea, otherwise Pinevllle Improper. All that Broderick saw were pines, plenty of them, a flat white ribbon of roadway, and a hit of a postoffico rough ly shingled In the midst of the nearest clump of pines. He stepped Into the postoffice as the central spot of civiliza tion. Someone vvas stamping letters be hind the glass enclosure, a girl with dark smooth hair. Beatrice had smooth dark hair. He watched the girl stamping letters with Interest, and wondered why some one did not tell her to wear her smooth, dark hair in two soft braids around her head, crown fashion, as Beatrice did. 'Where do the Vaughans live, please" he asked finally when the stamping ceased. "The Vaughans? Oh. Gerald Vaughan and his wife? It's a brown house down near the shore, with a wide veranda and a funny 'roof. About a mile straight down the road." I A wide veranda, and a funny roof. That sounded like Gerald. He wondered h'ow Gerald's wife liked It. Beatrice was artistic, but not artistically eccentric She had a horror of things odd, bizarre, so-called Bohemian. And yet she had married Gerald. And Gerald's brother knew that Gerald was utterly odd, bl zarre and Bohemian so-called. He walked on down the flat white rib bon roadway, and wondered 'whether he would find her like. the girls Gerald had aln:ays admired. A lithesome, limp.

And as he watched her he had stopped row ing, and they had drifted slowly In the sunset glow that flooded the lake while he told her. There had been no actual engagement. He had nothing to reproach her with. He had not been in a Position to ask her to be his wife then, but he had thought a girl like Beatrice had meant more by a kiss, a handclasp, a few vague words o' understanding, than other girls. He had thought she might wait until next summer. And now. In April, he had returned to New York to learn that Gerald was In disgrace. had marrle on nothing, elored to Plne-ville-by-the-Sea. North Carolina, and his wife was Beatrice Stafford. Gerald's mother had said they were penniless. Gerald's father had remark ed that be rtirin'f c!a i rin TT.AW , could exist upon love and art More or less for Beatrice's sake. and a little for Gerald's, Gerald's ; brother had taken It upon himself to j visit the bridal couple and help Ger- aiu nmotnering his own love, he had made up his mind that as long as Beatrice had married a Vaughan she should not suffer from It. There was no bell at the door of the little brown house with the ftinny roor. it vvas merely a bungalow In weathered shingles, and he pounded on the door lustily before It opened, and Beatrice stood before him She vvas not the Blessed Damozet type yet. Her smooth dark hair was wound about her head In Just the same crown fashion, and she wore a snori uarK uiue linen sKirt. and a white shirt waist. The sleeves were rolled to her elbows, and from her finger tips to elbow dimples there vvas I flour sprinkled. j He had not expected to see her face I to face so soon, nor alone.

"I thought you were In London." she said. lou don t give a teilovv a very decent welcome after lies traveled from London to this wilderness to say congratulations." He stepped into the hall after her. She hesitated and laughed, looking at her floured hands. "I can't shake hands with you. and and the biscuits are in the oven. I shall have to watch them. Do you mind coming out to the kitchen?" He didn't mind. There appeared to be only three rooms, the studlo-slt-tlng room, the dining room and the kitchen. Collapsible ready-ln-a-mlnute studio divans were In the sitting room and dining room In lieu of bedrooms. It was all charmingly, most uncom fortably rdd. bizarre and Bohemian? "Wher Gerald?" he asked, when he had found a chair In the kitchen. Beatrice knelt beside the stove to look at the biscuit. He could not see see her face. "He went to the postoffice for the last mall. You must have missed him." "Well, what ever made him come to this lost corner?" "Oh. because It was the chance of something definite, you know. Don't you know?" she added quickly, see ing the puzzled look on his face. "Well. Gerald's chum. Netherby Ames, broke all to pieces last fall, overwork, and so on. and he was ordered down here. And he couldn't afford to come and stay Indefinitely, so he pulled a few wires and things happened. Me was made postmaster here at Pine vllle. And he got lonesome and heal thy, and workful again a month agu, so Gerald's In his place, and he's , New York. Don't you see? It was real ly very definite, and businesslike, and right, under the circumstances." "Oh. certainly, under the circum stances" agreed Broderick. "So old Gerry's postmaster instead of artist." "Both." she corrected "He .has lots of time to study and it's good for him. the responsibility. I mean. You wouldn t know him." "I suppose not." assented Broderick. uneasily. He tried to reconcile his lit tle circle of v the universe, to make the chaotic Jumble fait into place and harmonize. Gerald, Gerald, the help less, erratic fantastic Irrational. Joy ous-hearted, penniless artist, a person of matrimonial responsibility a post master. But then he remembered tne young, smooth haired person stamping letters. Of course Gerald had round bla usual way out or the difficulty. He had hired some Pinevllle law to For these Charming NEW BLOUSES The manufacturers favored the Xew Store with these charming blouses at a specially low price and we share the price advantage with you.

Beatrice making bis cuit. He looked at her with troubled eyes seeing endless vistas of Beatrices making biscuit throughout the years. "Don't you miss New York?" "Oh. so much." she said. "I'll never be happy until I get back." "Have you given up your own work?" "Only for the time being. I shall take It up again of course. I shall have to." Broderlck's hands tightened In a sudden grip- So she was to work again, turn out her endless succession of lit tle wash illustrations tor second rate monthly magazines. Gerald would not mind, would not see the point. He would think he vvas being broad-minded and Bohemian to let his wife carry on her own art Irrespective of him. But Beatrice, saw the point. He tosc from his chair suddenly, his face white with the anger and love he had smothered. Before he could stop himself the words came leaping to his lips: "Why did you do It?" "Do what?" She stood beside the little bare kitchen table, her face raised to his. her eyes bright with startled wonder ment at his tone. "Why did you marry Gerald?" "Marry Gerald! IT' Some one irai coming along the white roadway. From the kitchen window two figures could he seen, and she pointed to them. "There is Gerald, and that is his wife, my sister Barbara. I am merely at tendant star to the honeymoon. They brought me along to well, to make the biscuit." A minute later, and Broderick met the bridal couple on the wide ver anda under the funny roof. The bride was the girl with the smooth dark hair who had been stamping letters, and she laughed at mm. "I knew who you were, but I want ed Gerald all to myself, and I knew Beatrice would take care of you." "She did." answered Broderick. hap pily, and as the rest went Into the house he paused to brush ofT traces of Hour from his coat collar.

I have asked thousands of men what one thing seemed to them to con tribute most to failure, and. while there appeared to be an unimportant differ ence of opinion, practically all of these men of mark were certain that lazi ness and loafing had more to do with lack of success than had anything else. It Is true that nblllty counts, and that a man without It cannot hope suc cessfully to navigate any channel. For tunately, however, none of us Is with out some ability. I admit at the outset that men with only ordinary capacity cannot occupy the positions held by those of enormous ability, and that It Is useless for the mediocre man to attempt to force him self outside of the regular roads of life. Yet ability, no matter how great may be Its magnitude. Is worthless and useless unless coupled with activity and having ambition as the guiding star. The man of ordinary capacity, who Is willing to work and who" gets out of himself all of which he Is capable, will stand higher In any community than will he of great ability who Is too lazy to use what he could not help pos sessing. The loafer is not on good terms with himself or with the world. He Is pre destined to disaster, a menace to so ciety. I am not suggesting that you. my reader, work Incessantly and forget to play, for recreation l as necessary to the rounding out of a man as Is at tention to the major duties Loafing I not resting. The loafer. while h is loafing, contributes nothing to his bodily health or to his mental ac tivity. He Is no better than a hibernat ing animal: no, not as good, because the animal goes Into winter quarters that he may not overtax his strength, and that he may be prepared to live when his sea son opens. Jn every city. In every town, and In every village." hundreds and thousands rf men are loafing on the sidewalks, lean ing up against the buildings, seldom thinking, often silent. Just occupying so much space. They are not as efficient aa the hltchlng-post, because the latter. In animate though It la. has Its use in tho world. ak . ' Nothing coindBRo Me loafer, and. if it did come, he would r.ot seize upon It. He would be better off, and so would the world. If he ware tOaced upoa a scavenger scow, towed out Into the broad ocean, and dumped with other refuse into the bottom of the sea. Nothing worth doing, whether it Is work or play, has any value to the participant, unless he enters into it with enthusiasm and allows it to con tribute to his betterment. If he Is tired mentally or physically, he should rcht, hut he need not loaf. Kesting is one of the necessities of h!.s life, an I resting gives him enjoyment, because he knows that through it he will be better able to take up Ins work, to be more proficient in the doing of his duty; hut loafing, pure and simple loafing has nothing to recommend it and everything to condemn it. Nobody wants the loafer. He does not know- how to work: and. when he does work, his work amounts to very little. He is a drone, altogether good for nothing, who furnishes himself with the poorest kind of society. Don't loaf rest! Make resting a le gitimate part of your life Play when you play and put your heart into it; and when you work, work with all your energy, with brain and body harmoniously coupled together, each doing its duty, each helping the other.

SUPERFLUOUS HAIR REMOVERS ARE DANGEROUS Don't Use Poisonous So-Called Su perfluous Hair Removers.

The only safe way to remove hair Is to devitalize It. It Is uscle.s to use pastes or rub-on preparations because they only remove hair from the surface of the skin. De Sliracle. the original liquid depilatory, devitalizes hair by attacking It under tho skin ns well as on the skin. Imitations of De Sliracle are as worth less as pastes and rub-on preparations because they lack certain ingredients that De Sliracle alone contains which give It the power to rob hair of its vital ity. Remember. De Sliracle Is the only depilatory that has a binding guarantee In each packago which entitles you to your money If It falls. Insist on tho genuine De Sliracle and you will get the original liquid hair re mover. Others are worthless Imitations refuse them. De Sliracle Is sold In three sizes. 50c. JL00 and $2.00 bottles.
