City Recorder.
* began Ida Dalton, sitting on
the low stool before the fireplace,
"that at last I have found the road
to economic Independence.”
"But what can you do?” asked an
old friend.
"That’s what I asked myself for
a number of years. ‘What can you
do’?’
"Won’t you tell us, Ida?’ asked
another girl.
•‘It Isn’t a secret ?’ questioned a
third.
They were all having tea and a
reunion at the home of a classmate
of school days.
At last Ida was persuaded to re
veal her secret
“Of course you know the sort
of town we live In—one of those
suburban places that has hundreds
and hundreds of homes whose own
ers don’t go abroad for everything
they want. Neither do they go to
town If they can find what they
want at their doorstep. In a rich
er community they won’t look at
anything produced In the vicinity.
In a poorer one, they couldn't af
ford nor appreciate my—my Inven
tion.”
"Dear me—It sounds like boot
legging, Ida,” sang out a member of
the group and drew her chair
closer Into the circle.
“No,” laughed Ida, “but as we
said at school when we played hide
the thimble, you’re getting warm.
Mine la for external heat and quite
within the law.”
“I’m consumed with curiosity,” ad
mitted every girl present
"I call my little studio—which Is
no more than my father’s old barn
glorified by Interior and exterior
decoration nnd dignified by the
name of studio—’The Faggot and
Flame.’ ”
“An alluring name, Ida.”
“It was an Inspiration—the name.
I make and sell what I call faggots
for the fireplace. I save. beg. bor
row, even pick up all the newspa
pers and magazines I can possibly
get my hands on. I soak them in
water in little piles and roll them
Into twists about ten Inches long.
This while they are thoroughly wet
and pulpy. Then I put them out on
the fence and on a rack I have
had made, to dry tn the sun for
days. After a while, as I put out
more wet parcels, I bring the dried
faggot-like twists In and shake Into
each, between the folds that may
still exist, a quantity of powder
that we call driftwood powder.”
“But—Ida—aren’t they expen
sive?”
"N—no. I sell them for fifty
cents a dozen, tn a package and
you tuck one or two away among
your logs when your fire is laid tn
the fireplace.
Extravagant folks
will use several faggots In an eve
ning. but what Is fifty cents If you
are having a party about your
hearth and can get such wonder
fully beautiful colors out of your
logs—greens, blues, purples, just
Hike the driftwood we love to pick
up on the shore and build a camp
fire of. I keep my own fireplace go
ing all day and In the evening so
that folks who come to buy may
see how pretty It Is. I can’t make
enough to keep my orders filled.
One person sees the pretty fire and
asks what It Is. It hardly needs the
little advertisement card I carry In
local papers. I am addlug toasting
forks, a special wrought Iron chest
nut roaster which 1 have designed
and am having made—by the way,
it Is being made by an old friend
of ours—Ilort Bailey
Remember
Mror
“Something tells me the wrought-
iron ehMtnut roaster is the kernel
of the romance," suggested the girl
who, perhaps knew Ida better than
any of the other friends.
“Bert and 1 were always—
friends,” admitted Ida.
Just then a step was beard on
the porch.
“I declare—speak of an angel and
yon hear the fluttering of its
wings,” cried the hostess, jumping
up to admit none other than Bert
Bailey.
The young man was obviously
shy In the presence of the girls
who were expecting no male In
truder. He apologized and spoke
to Ida about some business that
had come In—a quick and large or
der—while she was out.
“And you have driven all the
way over—to tell me,” said Ida
gratefully.
“Of course," he said lamely.
And most of the girls could see
that any excuse that could bring
that man to Ida’s side would bring
him.
“I’ll go home with you In your
car," said Ida hastily.
As she left, the girls promised to
be In her studio two weeks from
that day. “We'll sit before the
pretty fire and—I’ll tell you a
secret,” she whispered, as she fol
lowed Bert.
“It’s no secret, dear,” her hostess
assured her. “He adores you.”

The art of Interpreting dreams Is

you dream you stand naked In the
public streets. It's a sign of great
trouble and distress. If you dream
you have lost a tooth, you may be
sure you will shortly lose a friend.

“personal guarantee” means very little to you
unless you know the man who makes it.
Ninety per cent of the things bought for your home
are selected by the lady member of the firm. She
is the purchasing agent. Most men admit that she
is a capable buyer, and the reason is this: She must
be shown — convinced by proof— that an article is
what she needs and is worth the price!
*For that reason, she sees the advantage of dealing
with a local merchant — a man whose “personal
guarantee of satisfaction” means just uhat it says.
She knows that what he advertises in this paper is
entitled to her consideration. Because she has confi-
denie in her neighbor—the local dealer—she can
safely invest the family funds in what he guarantees.
