Many Revelations
of a Young Wife
The Purr of a Cal and (hr Stn> patliy of
a Servant.
j J do not know how long 1 sat look
ing dumbly at the shattered pieces of
glass, all that was lett or my treas
ured vase. 1 was stunned at tlie
storm of anger in Dicky which 1 had
aroused by roy ultimatum on our j
household finances, and iny deter
| ruination to earn some money of my
I own.
| It scented ages before I stirred.
; Then i bent to pick up the pieces of
] glass. At my movement the kitchen
■ door opened swiftly and Katie rushed
| in. I bad a sudden sick knowledge
l that she had been Us oiling and look
ing during Dicky's outburst.
"Oh, poor Missis Graham," she
crooned, coming over to me and put
Iting her arms around me. "You not
i tcel bad for dot. Dot notting for
Meester Graham. He mean notting.
| Many t ime I see heem mad, he trow
I tings on floor, nearest ting he can get
hands on. One time he trow omelet
he no like, it go ull over stat-u-a-ry,
make heem nightcap for head,” Katie
giggled reminiscently.
"Hut he got over dot mad joost as
queeck.” she went on. “Bimeby you
sec he come back, lie say 'Oh I so
sorry, 1 nevaire, neveaire do eet
!again — till next time." Katie giggled
again. "You not feel bad. Alan like
dot If you do not do everything they
want, and if you do all times vat dey
want, uotimes vat you want, den dey
tink you are carpet, dey wipe feet on
you."
Through all my natural shrinking
from sympathy of any kind, and my
distaste of having a servant know
anything of my ahairs, the conscious
ness of this girl’s hearty, sincere feel
ing soothed me, while her homely
philosophy litted in with my own re
flections.
Katie'* kin illy Offer.
“Thank you, Katie," 1 said. "Will
you kindly brush up these pieces be
fore you go?"
She brought the broom and dustpan,
gathered up the pieces, carried them
to the kitchen, returned and made a
pretence of straightening up the liv
ing room, changing the position of
seven chairs, and arranging the books
and magazines. Evidently she had
something on her mind. Finally she
came close to me.
"O, say, Missis Graham, 1 no like
to leave you here alone tonight. Be
sides 1 scared go home every night.” |
A shrewd look came into her face, j
She hesitated a moment. Reading her |
1 wondered what kindly falsehood she |
would Invent to cover up her desire j
to stay with me. 1 waited but a
moment.
"A man he spik to me last night on
the street. I scared and run. I 'fraid
lie spik to me tonight, too.
"How did the man look, Katie?’ r
asked, half-smlltngly in spite of my
heartache.
"Oh! a great beeg man. with beeg j
black whiskers." Katie evidently was j
determined to paint a suffleently !
strong picture now she had seized i
the brush. "Hees eyes look like dis |
at me." Katie rounded her own. I 1
could see that she fancied herself an |
awe-inspiring spectacle. "If he spik
to me tonight I shall joost die, I
know."
"But there is no place for you to
sleep." „ . „
"Oh, yes. Missis Graham, You come
with me. I show you. j
I followed her to the kitchen. She
threw open the door of the unused
closet I had given her for her things.
’Here,’’ she said, "l sleep here."
The Maid's Bedroom.
“Why, Katie,” I exclaimed. “There
isn't room here for a bed, and, in
deed, the closet, while a large one,
holding our trunks, seemed but a
more cubby hole for a sleeping place j
Hut as I looked at It I vaguely re- i
membered hearing the woman who j
had rented the apartment speak of j
"the maid's bedroom.” 1 had paid
no attention the phrase, for 1 had not
then intended to keep a maid. Was
this what she meant.
••Oh. yes. Missis Graham," carolled
Katie again, and stooping behind the
trunks she brough out a queer look
ing iron framework which I hud
noticed, but In my ignorance of house
wifely ways had never bothered to
investigate. Pulling it out it reveal
ed itself as a small, low bed, with a
fairly clean mattress and pillow held
In its iron framework,
"Bee," said Katie gleefully. “At
night I pull heem out—so, he nice bed
for me. In morning I shut heem up,
so, he no in way.”
"Katie, do not say 'him' when you
speak of things like beds, chairs,
tables, dlBhee. Say 'it' or 'them!'”
"All right,” answered Katie. "Thank
you. I like to splk the English right.
You teach me. I thank you. You let
me sleep here, please? This is such
nice room. Down at my cousin's,
leetle room like dis, me and three
children sleep. I no like.” She Bpoke
wistfully.
To think that this cubby hole seemed
a desirable sleeping room to anybody!
The picture of Katie and three chil
dren huddled In one no larger decided
me. 1 would let her stay. Doubtless
her company might often be welcome,
1 reflected grimly. If Dicky and I kept
up the pace we seemed to be setting.
“Very’ well. Katie," I saJd at laBt.
"You may stay if you will be very
careful to throw open your window
each day a long time and air your
bedding.” There was a fair-steed win
dow in the closet, or I never should
have given my consent to her sleep
ing there. “Come with me. and I will
give you linen and a blanket."
“Oh. thank you, Missis Graham. I
do everything for you." Katie grasped
my hand and kissed it. her Invariable
method of showing gratitude.
As I handed her the sheets and pil
low case, and the only extra blanket
:ny limited linen closet contained, I
voiced a doubt that had been In my
mind since I gave my consent to her
staying.
"Are you sure you will be warm
enough tonight. Katie? I’ll get you
an extra blanket or a comforter to
morrow.”
"You get me notting.” Katy’s voice
was decided. “I plenty warm. If I
cold I put my coat over me. Pretty
goon it get spring, get warm, no need
blanket. You not spend your money
for dot.”
The glrl’a warm-hearted interest
was a balm to my bruised sensibili
ties. 1 patted her shoulder and spoke
warmly.
“You are very good to me, Katie,
Thank you. Now go to bed, that’s a
good girl.”

CLARENCE IN CANDYLAND.
Clarence was getting thin- HI* I
checks, wliich used to be a ruddy
pink, were growing pale, and his j
whole manner was listless. The tact
was that Clarence was eating too
much candy.
It was all in vain that his mother
talked or punished. Just as soon as
he was out of sight of home, away he
would run to the little store at the
corner .and stuff himself with every
kind of colored sweet.
"Candy, after your meals will not
harm you, my boy,” said the doctor;
"but If you wish to be strong when
you are a man, you must eat your
usual meals three times a day. If
you had to live on candy alone' for a
few days, I amagine you would pretty
soon find out how badly you would
feel.”
“Wish I could have nothing else for
a week,” laughed the boy. "It would
be Just what I would enjoy.”
The doctor said no more, but as he
went away he thought how dreadful
it would he If ClArence should ever
happen to be carried away to Candy
land. He was a man who had had
long experience, and knew of strange
things taking place. People even said
he knew how to make magic, hut I
do not know whether this Is true or
not.
At any rate. Clarence was very
much worried after this talk, but he
got 10 cent3 worth of peanut sticks,
and ate them so fast that he forgot
all about what the doctor had said.
But he could not swallow a bit of
dinner. Yet, after he went to bed he
felt awful hungry. He thought of
the cold lamb, the raw tomatoes and
the rolls in the pantry, and It made
his mouth Water. "I think I will get
up and eneak down to get a lunch,”
he said. But when he put his foot
out of bed the flood felt strange. It
was no carpet at all, but felt erumb
lv, just like cake.
Neither did the room seem to be
In place, for, Instead of the walls, he
found he was looking out into a for
est of very queer trees. The trunks
were all of brown gingerbread, for he
could see the molasses oozing out for
sap. The leaves were thick and heavy,
and seemed to be sweetmeats, just
like his mother had in her china jar.
Down below the gingerbread trees
was a wide field of buns. Very pretty
they looked, shining golden in the
sun and dotted with raisins, swaying
on slender stalks. Clarence thought
this looked very attractive, so he
started out to explore. Down the
brown-sugar road he ran, till at last
he got to a queer cottage made of
taffy. All its sides were polished
candy, its window frames fashioned
of hard gumdrops; the legs of the
sticks, and the seats chewing gum.
The round tops of the tables were
cherry pies. Big pots of charlotte
russe sat all around the room like
rubber plants. But what attracted
the child's attention was a fountain
which spouted in the yard, fizzing
away in bubbles. This singing water
came up through a spout, and all
around it were great mounds of pink
and chocolate ice cream.
Clarence was hungry, so he took up
a shell from the side of the foun
tain and began to eat.
"Qee, but this Is fine," he cried.
It’s a really, truly ice cream soda
fountain. I can get all I want right
here, and either chocolate or peach."
So he stuffed till he could hardly
walk. Then he walked into the bun
held and ate five or six of them.
After that he walked around for sev
eral hours, admiring the bushes, on
which grew chocolate cream drops,
the big lakes of strawbery Jam, the
patches of sugar-cherry bushes and
fences of stick candy. Through the
place flowed a stream of maple syrup.
By sunset Clarence was hungry
again, and again he filled up on Ice
cream, cake and buns and candy.
Then he lay down on a bed of layer
cake and he went to sleep. Early In
the morning he was up and made an
other meal of cake, ice cream and
candy, but by this time he was be
ginning to get a bit tired of this food.
All the morning he walked, but at
noon he returned to another dinner of
candy, cake and ice cream. By tl\is
time it was growing awful, for he
was really hungry for real good food.
How he longed for a dish of beans, a
hot potato and a slice of roast beef.
A saucer of sliced tomatoes, with cold
ham, and hot, buttered biscuit would
have made him happy. But no, he was
in Candyland, and had nothing else
to live on the rest of his life.
As the sun dropped down In the
west Clarence threw himself down by
the side of the soda fountain. The
very sight of candy made him ill.
"Oh!" he wailed, "if I could only
get back on earth again, only one
hreakfast of hot oornbread, fried po
tatoes and hash." ,
Then he arose to his feet, for far
down the forest rose the mellow tones
of a bell. Softly Its peals broke on
his ear. Then he opened his eyes, to
And the maid holding the breakfast
bell right over his head and the de

rolls and coffee sifting Into the room.

Diary of a Well
Dressed Girl
How She .Made a Smart School Frock for
Cicely.
“Too bad there isn't an old clothes
man here, Robin, so I could get rid
of this collection of useless clothing.
There isn’t a thing in the whole lot
worth taking home.” I quite agreed
with mother’s remark when X viewed i
the old-fashioned suits, dresses and
blouses which littered the floor.
I don't dare offer them to anybody
for fear of insulting their good taste,
but some of the material is worth
using again. The trouble is that the
pieces are too small for anything but
children's frocks.
I saw the sleeve of a blue taffeta
dress sticking from beneath the pile,
and pulled it out. It did look hope
lessly antiquated with its narrow
skirt and much bloused bodice, but,
as mother had said, there wasn’t a
break in the silk, and it was such a
lovely navy blue that I began to won
der If I couldn’t make it into some
thing for Cicely.
By covering the skirt with a long,
full tunic of contrasting material I
knew it would meet the requirements
of the present mode, but the bodice
was the stumbling block. It had short
tucked sleeves, and even if X had rip
ped out the tucks the machine stitch
ing would have shown, making the
material useless.
Then I remembered that sleeves of
transparent materials were being !
used in many of the smartest frocks, j
and this solved the problem of the '
blouse.
I told Cicely of my plans for the
new frock and then sent for enough
fine French serge to make the tunic.
When the serge arrived it was a
trifle darker in shade than the taffeta,
but that added to the charm of the
frock.
After I had fitted the foundation
skirt of taffeta snugly about the hips
I made the tunic by side pleating the
serge in four groups of six pleats
each, making the pleats to fall over
the hips and down the centre front
and back.
I attuched the tunic to a narrow
belt of serge, which fastens at the
back beneath three cloth-covered but
tons. The tunic is detachable, and
can be worn with different frocks,
which will make it a welcome ad
dition to a schoolgirl's wardrobe.
The skirt being such a wonderful
success, I started the bodice, confident
that it would prove to be equally
smart.
The front is cut in four sections,
which I joined with silk-covered cords
and has much the appearance of a
vest. Six small buttons and button
holes serve to fasten it. and at the
same time add an effective trimming
to the blouse. From navy blue chif
fon I made the long bishop sleeves,
finishing them with wide cuffs of taf
feta. I made the sleeves rather full,
for snugly-fitted sleeves are not prac
tical for a school frock—particularly
if they are made of chiffon.
They are joined to the armholes
with the cording, and I trimmed the
cuffs in the same manner.
A collar of white organdie and a
bow-tie of black taffeta finishes the
neck line, and Cicely has a girlish
up-to-date school frock which only
cost the price of a few yards of serge.
Moral—Be sure that, your old gar
ments are absolutely worthless before
wishing foT the old clothes man.
Caring for the Icebox
The common Icebox can be made a
thing of beauty if properly cared for.
There are many little things which
others have found helpful In this line.
The Ice problem comes first. To
have the Icebox completely filled twice
a week has been found more practical
than buying a little piece dally. The
full box retains an even temperature
and food Is better preserved.
New boxes are on the market now
with facilities for placing long objects,
such as tall water Jugs, upright. The
center shelf is easily removed or
transferred, like those of a bookcase,
and leaves room for watermelons,
large pumpkins, etc. These are or
dinarily hard to dispose of.
The use of newspapers as an Ice
preservative Is to be recommended.
Do not swaddle your ice, however, or
the food In the lower part of the re
frigerator will decompose. Simply
lay them on top, so that the ice is not
affected by the incoming air when the
door is opened.
Do not transfer food straight from
the table, if it is still warm, to the
icebox. The doors must not be left
open, as It stands to reason that the
air you have been cooling for hours
escapes by this method In a few
seconds.
Insist upon the white enameled
boxes. They show the results of your
efforts to keep them clean. The dark
ones assume a worn look and have
often an unpleasant odor.
Washing soda and water should be
used to flush the waste pipe once or
twice a week. Take out each rack
and scald it, drying in the open air
when possible You would be sur
prised to see the ugly slime which
forms on the patf underneath when it
has not been carefully drained and
scalded. A refrigerator treated in
this way will have no objectionable
odor.

can go wherever I widh and return
whenever I want to.
A HEART-BROKEN GIRL.
Surely, dear little sixteen-year-old,
you don’t really "want to leave your
home, do you? Not for the reason
given anyway. 1 am sure that it is
for your benefit that such a rule has
been made by your father, ana by
observing that rul© carefully he will
make exceptions and allow you to go
to parties (once in a while). Nine
o'clock is the hour that most girls
should be home. It would injure
your health to remain up late, and
you couldn't attend to business the
next day.
Please don’t think that I advocate
all work and no play; no, indeed I do
not. but on the other hand one cannot
work if they have too much play.
Try to adhere to your father's rule,
and when the time comes when you
want to remain out longer, perhaps
to attend some social function, I am
sure that he will give his consent.
Too many girls think that because
they are helping to keep the family
circle banded they should he given
more privileges. If they only real
ized that when their parents refuse
them very often it is for their ben
efit!
Try to be satisfied. Brokenhearted,
and within a year you will be very
thankful that you heeded the well
meant advice.

CARE OF GLOVES
The care of gloves In summer Is a
greater difficulty than the care of
gloves In winter, because summer
gloves become soiled more quickly
than the winter ones. For one thing,
everything Is dustier In summer than
In winter. The windows of cars and
trains and houses are open and we
go about In open automobiles and
almost everything we touch is dusty.
The moisture of the hands in summer
also adds to the difficulty of keeping
gloves clean, says the Danbury
News. And then the fact that we
wear lighter gloves generally In sum
mer 1b another thing that makes It
hard to keep our gloves clean In
warm weather.
Obviously, the most economical
summer glove Is a wash glove. These
are now of so many sorts that every
taste can he satisfied. For very warm
weather perhaps the thin silk gloves
are most comfortable. These wear
out more quickly than the heavier
ones, and are, therefore, not so
economical for hard use. But they
are easily washed and dried. Use
lukewarm water and pure soap and
rinse In clear water. Hot water turns
white silk yellow, and should never
be used on white silk gloves; and, in
deed, the lukewarm kind is better to
all gloves.
The various sorts of fabric gloves
are admirable for summer wear. They
can be easily washed In cool water
and good soap, and they dry quickly.
They are now made in such good
style that the best dressed women
do not hesitate to wear them. Tt
really pays to get a good quality for
constant wear, as the finger tips last
much longer in the more expensive
sorts.
WOMEN SHOULD NOT CLAIM TOO MUCH
Mary Ware Dennett, formerly cor
responding secretary of the National
American Woman’s Suffrage Associa
tion, writes an article In the Woman’s
Home Companion entitled "What the
Ballot Will Not Do.” She makes the
point that many speakers for wom
an’s suffrage do the cause an injury
by claiming that the ballot. If placed
in the hands of women, will bring
about too many specific reforms. Her
Idea Is that women should ask for
the ballot on much broader ground*.
On this subject she writes In part:
“So it behooves us to go slowly
with our bragging of what we have
done and our promising of what wo
will do with our votes, and to turn
the attention of our audiences to the
fact that we are asking for the vote
just because we are people, units in
the community, and, as such, must
be counted in when the affairs of
the community are arranged.”
Using Women's Brains
There is still another prevalent no
tion that half of the world's brain
power is quite sufficient to manage
all of its more important affairs sat
isfactorily and that the other half
should be excluded. To support this
notion, as John Stuart Mill wrote:
"It is not sufficient to maintain that
■women on the average are less gifted
with certain of the higher mental fac
ulties than men or that a smaller
number of women than of men are
fit for occupations of the highest in
tellectual character. It is necessary
to maintain that no women at all are
fit for them and that the most emi
nent women are inferior in mental
i faculties to the most mediocre of
men." . . .
We do not mean now particularly
female suffrage, so declares a con
tributor to the Saturday Evening
Post. We mean the total educa
tion of women. In spite of the big
advances in that field which have
occurred since Mill wrote. Especially
in comfortably offT families there is
undoubtedly a prejudice against seri
ously educating women for any im
mediately productive work.
That the young daughter of the
family should be seriously trained to
earn a living Is rather shocking to
papa and mama. It conflicts with
their conventional ideal of her as a
social ornament- She may study the
same books that her 'brother does
and pass the same examinations, but
what Ib finally required of her is
something utterly different from what
is required of her brother, and be
cause of that her total education is
entirely different from his. She ex
pects to win the race that is set
before her by charm, not by intel
lect. Praotlcally she meets more in
centives to do her hair prettily than
to develop her mind.
We do not think any fair-mindsd
person who takes stock of the charm
ing women of his acquaintance will
deny that a considerable portion of
the world’s brain power is practically
unused. In view of the muddle the!
world gets into with what brain '
power it does practically use this
seems a large preventable loss.
