BARRASS FAIRY WITH
SOME PRACTICAL JOK
ING WHEN HER BEAU
COMES TO VISIT HER.
Mr. Starr Is a widower Methodist minister with five charming daughters.
Prurience, the eldest Is nineteen. She keeps house. Fairy, aged seventeen, Is
a college freshman. Carol and Lark, twins, are In high school, and Constance
Is In the grades. Mr. Stark Is assigned to the congregation at Mount Mark,
la., and the advent and establishment of his Interesting family In the parson
aje there stirs the curiosity of the whole town. The story concerns the
affairs of the parsonage girls. Prudence has her hands full with the mis
chievous twins and Connie. Fairy has Just announced that her beau Is
coming to spend the evening. The twins decide to have some fun, and have
made their plans accordingly.

though, thanks very much."
So the twins plunged in, cnrefully
keeping Connie beside them. Connl
had a dismal propensity for discov-
eries the twins hud often suffered
from It.
Then they all three went to bed. To
be sure It was ridiculously eurly, but
they were all determined.
You keep your eyes open, Fairy,
Prudence whispered melodramatically
"Those girls do not look right." And
. she added anxiously. "Oh. I'll be so
disappointed if things go badly.'
Fairy was a little lute getting up
. stairs to dress, but she took time to
drop into her sisters' room. They were
all in bed, breathing heavily. She
walked from one to another, und
. stood above them majestlcully.
"Asleep 1" she cried. "Ah, fortune
Is kind. They are asleep. How
love these darling little twlnnles In
their Bleep!"
An audible sniff from benenth the
covers, and Fairy, smiling mischievous'
ly, went Into the front room to prepare
lor her caller.
The bell rang as she was dressing.
Prudence went to the door, preternat-
tirally ceremonious, and ushered Mr,
Ilubler into the front room. She did
not observe that the young uinn sniffed
in a pecullur muuner us he entered
the room.
"I'll call Fairy," she said demurely.
"Tell her she needn't prlpip for
Die," he answered, laughing. "I know
just how she looks already."
I5ut Prudence whs too heavily bur
dened to laugh. " She smiled hospi
tably, and closed the door upon him,
Fairy was tripping .down the stairs.
very tall, very handsome, very gay,
She pinched her sister's urm as she
pa.ssed, and the front room door
swung behind. But she did not greet
ber friend. She stood erect by the
door, her head tilted on one side,
-sniffing, sniffing.
"What In the world?" she wondered.
Eugene Bubler was strangely quiet.
He looked about the room In a pe
culiar, questioning way.
"Shall I raise a window?" he sug
gested finally. "It's rather er hot
In here." "
"Yes, do." she urged. "Raise all of
them. It's do you do you notice a
a funny smell In here? Or am I Imag
ining It? It It almost makes me
Bick!" .
"Yes, there is a smell," he snld, in
evident relief. "I thought maybe
you'd been cleaning the carpet with
something. It's ghastly. Can't we go
somewhere else?"
"Come on." She opened the door
Into the sitting room. "We're coming
out here if you do not mind, I'rue."
And Fulry explained the difficulty.
"Why, that's very strange," said
Prudence, knitting her brows. "I
Was In there right ufter supper, and I
didn't notice unythlng. What does it
Bmejl like?"
"It s a new smell to me," laughed
Fairy, "but" something about it Is
strangely suggestive of our angel
twins."
Prudence went to Investigate, and
Fnlry shoved a big chair near the
table, waving her hand toward it light
ly with a smile at Babble. Then she
sank into a low rocker, and leaned
one arm on the table. She wrinkled
her forehead thoughtfully.
"That smell," she began. "I am
very suspicious about It. It was not at
nil natural "
"Excuse me. Fairy," he said, ill at
ease for the first time in her knowl
edge of him. "Did you know your
sleeve was coming out?"
Fairy gasped and raised her arm.
"Both arms, apparently," he con
tinued, smiling, but his face was
flushed. '
. "Excuse me just a minute, will you?"
Fairy was unruffled. She sought her
sister. "Look here, Prue whut do
you make of this? I'm coming to
pieces ! I'm hanging by a single thread,

Her sleeves were undoubtedly ready
to drop off at a second's notice I Pru
dence was shocked. She grew posi
tively white in the face.
"Oh, Fairy," she walled. "We are
disgraced." 1
"Not a bit Of It," said Fairy coolly.
"I remember now that Lark was look
ing for the scissors before supper.
Aren't those twins unique? This is
almost bordering on talent, isn't It?
Don't look so distressed, Prue. Eti

snatch of song.
But Prudence did n poor Job of en

absence. She felt really dizzy I Such

parsonage life. She was glad to make
her escape from the room when Fairy
returned, a graceful figure In One blue

A little after nine she called out
dismally, "Fairy!" And Fairy, fearing
fresh dlsnstcr, came running out
"What now? What"
"I forget what you told me to say,"
whispered Prudence wretchedly,
"what was It? The soup Is ready, and
piping hot but what Is it you want
me to say?"
Fairy screamed with laughter. "You
goose!" she cried. "Say unythlng yon
like. It doesn't make any difference
what you say."
"Oh, I nin determined to do my part
just right," vowed Prudence fervent
ly, "according to etiquette and all.
What was it you said?"
Fairy stilled her luughter with diffi
culty, and said In a low voice,
Wouldn't you like a nice, hot oyster

So Fairy returned once more, and
soon after Prudence tapped on the

her curly head inside. "Wouldn't you

It speuks well for the courage ol
Bubble, and the attractions of Fulry
that ho came to the parsonage again
and again. In time he became thf
best of friends with the twins them
selves, but he always called them "th
adorablos," and they never asked hin
why. The punishment Inflicted upon
them by Prudence rankled lu their
memories for many months.
1 "The offense was ognlnst Fairy,'
said Prudence, with a solemnity she
did not feel, "and the reparation must
be done to her. For three weeks you
must do all of her bedroom work, and
run every errand she requires. More
over, you must keep her shoes well

PLANNING THE BULB BEOS
By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN
, There is no more profitable pastime
for the winter days and nights than the
planning of the bulb beds that are to
come with the new season. Everyone
knows Just how large a place ln the
lawn the beds can have. There Is no
question as to the location of the beds,
Why not plan an arrangement that
will make your beds attract attention
as the distinctive work of a person of
ideas?
First, measure your lawn space and
.decide. how many beds you will have,
Then take a sheet of paper and lay off
on It the entire lawn nnd draw into
It a number of designs. The more you
practice making drawings for the beds
the easier it will become and the more
apt you nre to get something that will
make the passers pause to admire not
only the flowers but the genius of their
arrangement. Hyacinths, tulips and
daffodils, with a background of lilies,
makes a fine combination. There Is no
limit to the number of designs nnd ar
rangements that can be made, and ev
ery shape and angle known to the
geometry can be utilized in the plans,
As an item of home pleasure and
Instruction some slight regard might
be offered to the children for the
brightest suggestions. It will create a
new interest among them ln the flow
ers and will prove of material value
as well ns having educational elements,
There are so few things about the
management and making of a home
where the children ever get a chance
to take a hand in suggesting work that
they usually like the dignity of being
consulted.
THE BEE AS A GARDEN AID
By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN
All persons who are Interested in
,the garden should study the question
of keeping bees. . The relationship of
the bee to the culture of flowers, fruits
and vegetables is so Important that it
ought to have much more attention
than Is usually given to it. I do not
know anything that Is of more mo
ment than an intelligent understand
ing of the bee question.
'ihey not only fertilize, but they
serve to produce. It is not by any
means necessary to start the keeping
or Dees upon a large scale. One may
make a start with one or two colonies
and from the beginning can ascertain
whether or not the project is going to
find favor.
As a rule it Is better to buy in frame
hives, but where the item of cost is
not important the box hives may be
taken and the new owner will soon
learn to transfer the bees without
trouble.
It is even possible to keep a few
colonies ln the backyard of a city home
Where they will not annoy the neigh
bors. The keeping of bees in a city
yard is not, however, recommended
excepting for the most enthusiastic I
devotee and It had Its obvious draw
backs that do not in any way apply
to the resident of the country, or
even of the small town. There a bee
colony miur be kept in an attic if neces-
sftry, with only the necessary for see
ing that the hive is placed with an
opening at a window or through a hole
In the wall that will permit the free
movement of the bees.
Among thoso who have had experi
ence In bee rulstng In connection with
farm and gardeu work the Italian bee
Is preferred. But the fact that black
bees are only available need not offer
any obstacle. If an Italian queen Is
procured and placed In the black hive
she will transform the black colony
into Italians In such a short space of
time that one will be surprised. Na
ture offers no other Instance of the
power of a queen ns one finds ln the
ready handling of a strange hive by a
queen who not only enforces her sway
but Impresses her characteristics upon
her followers. '
The use of the bees Is not confined
to pollinating flowers and vegetables,
A couple of colonies will provide honey
enough for the table and then leave
some for sale.
And it is not a difficult matter to
learn how to handle bees. One soon
learns how to treat them so as to have
the minimum risk of stings. Another
Interesting thing is that the bee han
dler after a time becomes immune to
a large extent from the effects of
stings until a "bite" counts for less ln
the form of annoyance than the av
erage mosquito sting. After a time
the swelling that follows a bee sting
will not appear on the hand of the old-
timer.
UVere Is some merit also attached
by tradition, whether correctly or not
I shall not attempt to discuss, to the
sting of bees. One of the ancient Ideas
Is that rheumatism may be cured by
submitting to the gentle attentions of
the bees. But my mission is to aid ln
the culture of flowers and ln the suc
cess of gardens and does not even
remotely lead to the practice of medi
cine, even ln the most Incidental form.

are uppermost ln their minds. When
they come to me I make thera play.
I get them Interested ln something else.

Undoubtedly, It presents a rich ap

may be bestowed by those who possess
the means, but most of the average
readers will find something else In the
garden that presents Just as rich an
aspect with less requirement of labor
to 'bring it to perfection. The chief
reason why It Is a society favorite is
that only the best equipped places can
afford to take part ln the competition

The Armenians.
The New International Encyclopedia
says: "By langunge the Armenians,
or, as they call themselves, Hulk, nre
entitled to rank as a very old branch
of the Aryan stock, ln some respects
Intermediate between the Aryans of
Europe and the Aryan peoples of mid
die Asia. Physically also they are of
a primitive type, short and thickset,
dark-skinned, and of exaggerated
brachycephallsm, in part artificially
induced. They are thought to be re
lated, on the one band, to the 'Alpine'
stock of Europe, and on the other to
the Galtchas, etc., of central Asia,
They Inhabited ln early prehistoric
times a considerable portion of Asia
Minor, and have contributed to, or bor
rowed from, Aryans of other types,
Semites, Caucasia peoples, and later
Intruding Europeans and Turks. Prof.
F. von Luschan (1911) is of opinion
that the modern Armenians are the
descendants of the pre-Semitic popu
lation of the region, whom he identifies
with the old Hittites. He also believes
that from this same Armenold race
came the so-called 'Alpine race' of
Europe."

Women Win In Russia.
Moscow university, the oldest and
most authoritative university in the
empire, has ever kept Its doors fast
against feminine ingress. Now, at
last, this barrier has been swept away,
and the Russian ministry of education
and the faculty council of the univer
sity have unnounced that hereafter
women will be admitted In full equal
ity with the men, in all courses.
The faculty council, in providing for
this new arrangement, has stipulated
that the woman students desiring to
matriculate Into the university, must
do so by examinations held ln the
boys' gymnasia. The gymnasia, ln Rus-
Bla, cover the currlculums undergone
In America by the high school and the
freshman and sophomore years pf college.
The women's Institutes are not as
rigid as the gymnasia, and it Is for
this reason that the university de
mands that the women be put on ab
solutely the same standard as the
men.

Poisoned Eggs for Snakes.
An Inquiry recently received by the
poultry department of the University
of Missouri states that the writer had
found a snake swallowing an egg In
the henhouse and had killed others
near, but that eggs continue to dis
appear both at night and ln the day
time, and asked how to poison eggs so
ns to kill the snakes. Prof. H. L.
Kempster replied : "Insert a few
grains of arsenic through a small hole
In the large end of each egg or get
your druggist to, do it for you. Be
very careful that each egg Is so marked
that it cannot possibly be gathered up
by mistake and sold or used on the
