Rhe haa made him a charming home, and plant a aharming gar den. Fho has taken the prim, opin ionated Edwin in hand, and hat made tome progreat toward re vompina him. Although the hat not oroo'trn David Carroll, or her trlrmlahlp and work with Charlotte in Wrmhirrham, Emilii it brainnino In believe there it hopt for married lilt with Edwin. pMILY u itruggling with thi Servant Problem. She surveyed the unkempt negro girl who aat be fore her on the edge of a kitchen chair. "You Bay Aunt Mandy aent you?" "Yas'm. She Bald yo girl had done gone to Deo-trolt, an' to' me to come talk to you. Emily had Infinite confidence In Aunt Mandy. "Can she recommend . you ?" Thore was a slight hesitation. "Yas'm." Aunt Mandy's recommendation carried some reservation. Emily fc! sure. "All but what?" she prompted with a'smllo. "She say to' me to tell you 1 wuz a good cook, an I wuz faithful, but wuzn't very clean. It ain't my fault. Miss Emily," the protest burst from a full heart, "1 Jus' ain't got no clo'es much. It takes all I kin make to pay fo' my vlctrola an' feed me an' Rosebud. She's my baby," ah explained. "But doesn't your husband help lane care or you and Rosebud?' There was another hesitation. longer this time. "Aunt Mandy say to tell you I ain't ma'led," Narcissus confessed. "Me an' him wub almln to git ma'led, but his wife came back from Chattanooga an' commencod raisin' Cain an' he bad to go live witn huh to keep huh quiet. An1 hones'. Miss Emily, this heab's the only outside baby I evuh had In my life." fcmily bent her head suddenly When she looked up her face was . grave. "I can overlook that. And I have uniforms I'd want you to wear, anyhow, but you must keep them very clean. We'll try It for a week and see how we got along.' When Nnrclssua had departed Emily thought how much she would have enjoyed, In spite of her resolu tion, telling Charlotte about this ser vant. She told Edwin Instead, that evening after dinner, Edwin looked startled. "And you've hired hor?" That was what he had gotten out of the story. She realized regretfully mat he dldn t consider It either fun. ny or tragic, "Why not? I think I can make an excellent servant of her.1 He put down bis newspaper. It was quite an occasion when Edwin put down his newspaper; reading it was becoming his evening ritual. "I'd rather you wouldn't have servant of that sort, dear." She smiled at him. Already she was learning shamelessly bow to "handle" Edwin, and smiling that way was one of the most successful methods. He hadn't yet gotten used to II. "Rut thoy'ro nearly all 'that sort. And I'd much rather help her to make a living than have her acquire a second Rosebud In the process of keeping up the first one." He looked at her very hard. He said gravely: "You say astonishing things, some times. CUE waited until bedtlme.and then J returned to the topic. "Edwin, why do you shy away from the sub ject of bnbles.'" He was meticulously hanging up bis business suit "I don't, except when you Joke about It. It's Just that the whole subject Is rather sacred to me." W hat an amazing lot of sanctity thore was In the world, then, she thought, and wisely refrained from saying so. Edwin hung up ihe suit and came hack to sit beside her on the bed He was glad Kmlly had brought up the subject, since It gave him the opportunity (or which he had been walling. Ho had boon restrained by this aims rollconce from forcing tho topic upon Kmlly. but now he foil that ho could speak frankly. "To tell you the truth, sweet heart, he had taken one of her hands and was looking at It thoiiKht fully, as If he'd never seon It before. "I'd like a child more than anything In the world, wouldn't you? I think It would be a good thing for us both," For herself, she knew be meant; to curb the spirit of levity and bind her Irrevocably to her home and him. And for himself, to supply the confidence In bis own masculinity that he bad always lacked; to make him also a member of the Lodge, She Bald slowly. "Let me think about It awhile." She shelved the problem the next morning for the more Immediate one of entertaining her bridge club; of seeing that the creamed sauce creamed properly, and that the rolls rose to feather lightness. Being hostess left Emily free to wander about during the game, which was really preferable to play ing. She enjoyed bridge, but not with the passion that led some of ber friends to place It next to their chil dren and before their husbands In Importance, Bridge, she felt, should be a game and not a religion. Bits of disembodied conversation floated about. "He's getting bis stomach teeth now, and It's making him dreadfully fretful. Or. Gaines had changed bis diet three times and nothing seems to agree with him. But It's one of those things you have to endure, I suppose." The voice was complacent, and Emily wondered Jdly It she herself would ever unconsciously adopt It. She must remind Charlotte not to let her! Dorothy Shane broke In casually, 'I wish to goodness they'd standard ize contract rules before I put any more heavy study on them. BUI says they're Just like health and accident policies: about the time you think you know what they moan you find clause that nullifies everything that's gone bofore." - Someone else laughed. "Joe says be plays by ear and gets along Just aa well. He does win a lot of money, but the strain on his partner Is tor-rifle." POWER ACT HELD A NOTHER snatch, that carried In a brief lull. "I'd never been to a funeral like that before, and It wns the weirdest thing you ever saw. In addition to pall-bearers and honor ary pall-bearers and escorts of honor, there were thirty good-looking wo mon, all dressed In white and carry ing wreaths of flowers!" Dorothy paused In the middle of a deal. "What wore they his concubines?" Oh, no," Evelyn's souse of humor was non existent. "They were flower-bearers." "Not" Dorothy wldoned her eyes. Where did 1 stop doallng?" Still another voice, nearer at band. "George asked ma what I wanted tor my birthday, and I told him If he wanted to make me really happy he could give me a load of well-rotted manure " Emily laughed aloud, a burst of rippling, spontauoous mirth. They looked at ber In surprise, and some one asked: "What on earth" Nothing," she said. "It's Just that the conversation sounds from here like 'cross quostlons and crooked answers.' " Dorothy's mascuraod eyes nar rowed In quick comprehension. "It killing, Isn't It? Especially when you sit oft and llston." That, Emily realiiod, was what she had been doing throughout hot married lite: sitting off and listen ing. Wns Charlotte right, after Bill And then she rcnllzcd that sh couldn't chango now, whether Char lotte was right or wrong. Edwin waited tor the guests tc lopart bofore he came home, and then to moko doubly sure came In by tho back way. Ho had the limit man's horror of women en masse. He glanced at Ihe card tables ant his mouth grew suddenly stubborn Emily sighed. Did they smcke here?" he de mnnded abruptly. It was obvious lhat they had. "Cer talnly. Why not?" You know how I fool about smok lug." Yes, 1 know. But If Iboy smoke nyhow, I don't aeo why they houldn't smoke hore," Ills mouth was still stubborn. Well, I wouldn't think ot having a lot of men hore, tor Instance and doing something you disapproved of." Kmlly looked demure. "I'm sure yon wouldn't." lo realized ansrlly that she wns Inughlng nt him. "1 suppose I'm old- fashioned and all that, but I can't dp It." Ills tone wns an oven blond of apology and complacency. And wouldn't want to help It It yon could, would you?" Suddenly she was ashamed of he? laughter. Dearest. I'm Incorrigible. Tlcnst forgive me." She klssen him, and hit arms closed hungrily about her. tCopprlaht t!SS. tu Marian dims Hn-hns: I'ses Pram.

Noticeable Is the fact that the tall and external ears of tropical ani mals are mvich larger than those of the Arctic.

This is due to the fact that the larger the animal, the smaller amount ot skin surface It has per pound 01 body weight. A mouse haa many times as much skin surface as an elephant for Its size. Greater skin surfaco gives rise to greater heat radiation, so that a small animal in cold climates must generate more body heat to maintain Its body tem perature than a large animal.

The story persists that he killed himself at the pre dicted time so that his prophecy would be true but this has never been proven. Although he had a little knowledge In many sciences.
