Eddie ate op--; per from a tray Tobe brought him and went to bed in a square, hlnh-ceilfnged room. Tobe, I throughout the night, dozed close to his master's ; bed. Strange sounds noises that did not exist In New York kept Ed die awake for hours, it seemed. There was the distant baying of hounds in the woods, the chirpfng of an occasional night bird, the rustle of "wind in the trees, the disconsolate .lowing of a- cow.. Sometimes he imagined the house j creaked. Through an open win dow the night air yas a gentle breeze, laden, with sweetness, . but it was alien to his nostrils. IUC SClUl"UuJ ftuc lilt ftuiu - lure of the room bulked large and ghostly;: the carved posts at the foot of bis bed were motionless sentinels; there was a vague gleam on a maliogany highboy. It was strange that his past life, . so close to him in the point iof ac tual time, had receded so distant ly in importance. The schemes of the gang, his old thrills and ex pectations, began to lose all value. Tha girl, Bernice Veressi, came before him vividly and his mind reproduced her warm, compelling vitality but. oddly, there was no lure, no desire, in the picture. When, morning came his abund antly youthful strength had been restored. He awoke thinking about Marian Thorndike and she was in his mind like impalpable, powdered gold. With the begin ning of day, Eddie found it was not difficult to accommodate him self to the new routine of life. I don't .know, anything about the ' hard f eelinga between year father and Mr. Paradlne," he told her, "but you can be certain that the old colored man upstairs is as rood as any trained nurse 0B1 earth.

""I don't know who you are. or where you came from," the said, j steadily. "It's the funniest thing; I ever heard of the way yon just ; sort of dropped into the house and started living nere. I'd like to know how it all came about:" I 1 Eddie gave her a sketchy ex planation ef his presence. Omitting the sinister, background of his New York life. He told her he IVaa tired of the city and wanted to try his luck somewhere,; any where, in the country. He was afraid lest she think him an unfit person and he hoped, desperately. that she would not take any preju dice against him or regard him suspiciously. But she listened to his story inattentively, and he felt a chilling sensation- that she was really taking little notice of him. "What this house needs is a woman to look after it," she said with a feminine irritation. "Ev erything is topsy-turvy from cel lar to attic. I don't suppose the furniture has been really dusted in years." She walked to the window and touched a pane with the tip of her finger. "Somebody certainly ought to wash these windows." She was dressed in her riding- clothes and Just to be in the same room with her elevated his spirits until he felt as though he trere in flated with some ethereal gas. At one moment he was floating GOOD-NIGHT STORIES By Mu .Trell a , The ShadowHTiildren Try to Help XoTfsick: Mr. Frog, bat dike. At' three o'clock he' began to be despondently fearful she would not come, j At four o'clock she arrived. She went upstairs immediately; her interest in Eddie, apparently, .Was negligible. J While she was upstairs he waited impatiently for her return. He met her coining down at Jhe foot of the stairs and they went into, the living-room. 'I don't know what more could be done for him than is being done," she siidfseriously. "Do you intend to'-fay here?" "For a while till he gets bet ter, or worse." ''It's a shame that a man of his calibre should die alone without silly, bitter Ideas these old people; with a kind of excited joy and the I next instant all the pleasure cling to." uui sne was mistaken Jiaaie heart. He realized how crude he knew all about bitter fends and was, how vile had been his back he realized, philosophically, that i ground. The gulf between them human nature might be the same j yawned wide and Impassable, all over the world. When Marian had gone the ef Mij. Flor.l Hanid. I Yam and Kparf the five little shadow children with the turned-about names were in the (garden one day when they met a frog. It was a very worried-looking frog. "What's ite matter?" Hanid asked it. The frog croaked mourf ully. "I'm In love." Is said. "In love i-with whom?" ex claimed the shadows.! "Haven't you heard? I'm' in f ed love with Miss Morse. "That's no reason! to be wor ried, it is?" Knarf aked. "Oh pet, it is. I ( begged her to marry me and she said; 'My dear Mr. Frog, I'll jsk my uncle if he'll allow me to marry you "And did she ask him?" Yam wanted to know. I 'Yes, she asked him. But he said: 'I must think this over. I'll tell you next week". That was last week. He's toUell her this afterncon. I'm on my way to her house this moment to learn his decision. And I'm terribly wor ried. Suppose she should not be able to marry me." j Then poor Mr. Frpg croaked in wouia suaaenly arain out or ms dejection. "If only! I knew whe ther she loved me or not!" Now the shadows-children felt very sprry for the frog and they were eager to aid him. So they all thought and thought and thought. . i fit's very kind; of. you to bother? abiut me," Mr. jFrog iald . "It's j really more than I deserve. All at once Knarf gave a shout: "I i know how you can v find out whether she loves yon 'or not!" "How? How he asked ex citedly. 'I'll show you. Jusi come with m4." And . tjie little shadow-boy ran ahead. . Tn and oAt of the flower-beds, he ran,, squeezing himself through the thick grass clumps and springing lightly over the pebbles. Behind him came the frog and the other shadow children. By and by. they reach ed the edge of the duck-pond and Knarf suddenly stopped un der a daisy. "Now we'll be able to tell," he said. Then he stood on his tip toes and tried to reach the petals of the daisy. They were quite a good deal out of his reach. "Just stand on my back," the frog suggested, trying his best to be helpful. Knarf stood on the frog's back and grasped one of the petals in both hands. Then he pulled with all his might. He wasn't strong enough to pull it out, however. "Help me," he said to his com panions. Then thev all clamber- upon the frog's back and all grasped the petal at once. -With a sharp tug, they finally plucked it. Then they did the same to the second petal. Each time a petal was plucked, Knarf shouted down to the frog: "She loves you. She loves you not. She loves you." At length there remained but Knarf called dawn, as theyjluck ed it. - - ." "Thank you." the frog said gratefully, as they jumped to the ground again. "I feel ever so much relieved. I'll go to see her at once." And he hopped off joyously. At that moment a curious thing happened. One of the ducks, wading out of the pond met Mr. Frof. "Pluck," went the duek and down the duck's throat went the lovesick Mr. Frog. The shadow-children watch ed his sudden disappearance with . surprise all except Knarf who turned away in disgust. Home-Ma Br ELEANOR BOSS king Help COMKOitTABLK CLOTHES HEliP i TO MAKE HOUSEWORK EASIER r From her art student days in Ptfris Lois has transplanted one habit into her present d'omestlcity work clothes that are comfort able, but good to look at. A unique costume but much to be said for it. f "l don't like aprons, bungalows or any other kind," she explained. "They're too aggressively domes tic. And hot. I'm used to these things "that I U3ed to wear, in my studio, and what was comfortable enough for painting is comfort able enough for cooking and house-cleaning, I find. Try it." What she designs and wears is a sort of glorified pajamas'. Sleeve less blouse with a deep V-neck, slipping easily over the head and with no buttons or clasps. This item hangs outside loose-fittingn trousers which are buttoned at the side, and have, therefore, no elastic to bind the waistline. When Lois feels affluent she gets a couple of yards of silk; otherwise she makes the outfit of cotton, cre tonne, satine or other colorful bits she has a genius for picking up at small prices. True, it does look more studio-like than kitcheny, but the idea has much to recom mend It. For one thing, there, are no billowy waves around the knees or ankles, although the costume covers her adequately. It's very cool, especially since no other gar ment needs to be worn. Incidentally, it's a good-looking outfit, because Lois uses all sorts of interesting new fabrics and color schemes. Black silk relieved by edgings of bright strips or fu turistic angles appliqued at one or two places. Cool greens, edged with yellow and black. No two " Humph' he said, "that's just like a frog.

What could be more cheerless than the custom, still followed by many housekeep- ' ers, of wearing around the house the street clothes that have seen better days? Or even party cloth es; No doubt it's more eConom- leal to wear last year's silk as a house dress than to throw It away. But is it comfortable? Maiaie, in deed, looked rather depressed, running the vacuum cleaner while arrayed In a passe georgette Jrock. And what modern ' housekeeper could be merry if she haM to wear checked blue aprons, gathered in front, and tied in the middle, bag fashion the uniform of the sedate housewives of the nineties? Colorful smocks are inexpen sive. gobd-lQofcing and as practical to the wjjman-jhb works at home as they aye, t the office woman. And you can kave a number , in so many gar patterns and colors that thera'a plenty of variety with a small outlay. Smocks are an excellent protection, even for street cfctbes, for ordldnary house hold duties cooking and dusting. Or if water's to be splashed about good-looking rubberized costumes are available. Many are of rubber ized silk, colorful and good look ing, appearing more silky than rubbery to the eye. Easy to keep clean-; for they may be washed in a little soap and water and dried with a soft towel immediately. Even less expensive is the new paper composition apron which comes in a completely'enveloping size. It's waterprpof and stain proof and light-weight and costs little. Doesn't need any laundering just an occasional wiping with a damp cloth. And as it costs little you can afford to throw these aprons away when they look a bit shabby.

COPELAND, M. D. United States Senator from New York, Former Commissioner of BtaltX, New York City. OTHING can be much more comforting to its possessor than a clean, clear akin. Everybody wants it and seeks it. ) Unfortunately there are many diseases of the skin. Per haps Ahe most common is the condition called "eczema," er "salt rheum." , Like any ether inflammation of the skin, the first symptom ef eczema is redness. Not only is the affected part always red, but under excite ment, irritation from rubbing or scratching, ex posure to heat, or violent exercise, the redness is increased. ' After a while little blisters form on the red dened skin. As these break, there is more or less moisture on the affected surface. But the disease does not stop here, i It is not long before scales and crusts take the place of the blisters. The affected part Itches, especially! when the redness is increased from any cause. At times the itching is almost unbearable. It is difficult to tell the difference between simple inflammation of j the skin, called "der matitis," and true eczema. The former is due usually to some outside irritation of the skin, and eczema is due to some internal cause. J : t i Any skin blemish ts probably an evidence of lowered resistance.
