Sure enough, on her right The list of things on the scroll reads like a course of study for school and includes geography, botany and astronomy, so I will leave it out this time. I was surprised at the way they handle the books in the Library. There are almost fifty miles of book shelves in the building, and when a member of Congress wants a book to refer to 1 guess he wants it right away, S0 you can see that the li- brarian must have some_good syS- tem for finding things. Bernard R. Green figured out the book stacks' plan and I agree it is a good one. There are almost 250,000 feet of shelving in the building and they can put in about five million dif- ferent books. Machinery delivers books from the stacks to the read- ing room and from the reading room a cable that runs all the time goes down to the basement .and up to the top to carry the books. A pneu- matic tube will take your slip for a book to the right place, where a clerk will find the book and shoot it back through the tube in a very few min- Rut when a congressman calls utes. for a book it is_delievered to him through a_tunnel under the plaza, where the Presidents are inaugurated, right to his page waiting for it without gomg to the library at all. It certainly seems strange to be on that plaza and think of what is 5oing on right below you. The Library was founded in 1800 and it has had two fires, in 1814 and in 1531, but none since it was in the new building, which will be twenty-five years old next year. Re- member 1 wrote vou about that date and how I thought it ought to be celebrated in some way? 3 There are many special collections in the Library, such as Thomas Jeffer- son's library, and it is one of the places you surely want to v visit often, just as often as 3 RUSSELL BURKE, .

This way, isn't it?” They left the Grosvenor Hotel. where Louise, with Madame de Mel- bain, had arrived about an hour ago, and turned towards Battersea. Louise began to talk, nervously, and with a very obvious desire to keep the con- versation to indifferent subjects. Wrayson humored her for some time. They spoke of the journey - suddenly determined upon by Madam de Mel- bain on receipt of his telegram, of the beauty of St. Etarpe, of the won- derful reappearance of her brother. “I can scarcely realize even now. she said, “that he is really alive. He is so altered. He seems a different erson_altogether." ¥ “He has gone through a good deal,” ‘Wrayson remarked. She sighed. “Poor Duncan!” she murmured. “He Is very much to be pitied,” Wrayson said_seriously. “I, at any rats, can feel for him." He turned toward her as he spoke, and his words were charged with meaning. She began quickly to speak of something else, but he interrupted her. , “Louise,” he sal *from St Etarpe?” “What do you meau?’ she asked. “I think that you know very well"” he answered. do. At St Etarpe you were content to accept what, believe me, is quite 4nevitable.

He Jed the way toward an empty seat. “Let us sit down,” he said, talk this out.” She hesitated. “I think—"" she began, but he in- terrupted her ruthlessly. “If you.prefer it, T Baroness with vou,” he declared. She shrugged her shoulders and sat down. “Very well,” she sald. “but I warn you that I am in a bad temper. I am hot and tired and dusty. We shall probably quarrel.” He looked at her critically. She was a little pale, perhaps. but there was nothing else to indicate that she had Just arrived from 2 journey. Her dress of dull black glace silk was cool and spotless, her hat and veil were immaculate. Always she had the air of having just come from the ‘hands of an experienced maid. From the tips of her patent shoes to the fall of her veil she was orderly and correct. “It takes two.” he said. “to quarrel. 1 shall not quarrel with you. All that J ask from you is a realization of the fact that we are engaged to be mar- ried.” She withdrew the hand which he had calmly possessed himself of. “We are nothing of the sort,” she “and declared. He looked puzzled. “Perhaps.” he remarked. “T forgot to mention the matter last time I saw you. but I quite thought that vou would take it for granted.

In fact. the sooner better.” Of her own free will she laid her hand upon his. He fancied that be- hind her veil the tears had gathered in her eyes. “Dear friend,” she said -softly, “I [ cannot marry you! I shall never mar- ry any one. Will you please believe that? It will make it so much easter for me."” He was a little taken aback. She had changed her methods suddenly. and he had had no time to adapt him- self to them. “Don’t hate me, please.”” she mur- mured. “Indeed. it would make me very happy if we could be friends.” He laughed a little unnaturally, and turned in his seat until he was facing her. “Would you mind lifting your veil for a moment, Louise?” he asked her. She obeyed him with fingers which trembled a little. He saw then that the tears had indeed been in her eyes. Her lips quivered. She looked at him sadly, but very wistfully. “Thank yo! you mind asking yourself whether friendship between us is possible! Remember St. Etarpe, and ask your- self that! Remember our seat amongst the roses—remember what you will of that long golden day.” She covered her face with her hands. “Ah. no he went on. “You know sible. I cannot force you into my arms, Louise. If you care to take up my life and break it in two, you can do it. But think what it means! T am not rich. but T am rich enough to take you where you will, to live with you in any country you desire. I don’t know what your scruples are— I shall never ask vou again. But, dear. you must not! You must not send me away.’ i She was silent. She had dropped :lll'r veil and her head had sunk a lit- e. “If T believed twat there was any- body else.” he continued. “I would go away and leave you alone.

He has abandoned his quest alto- gether. He has told me so with his own lips.” “You are sure of that?’ she asked softly. “Abselutely.” he answered. She hesitated for a moment. He re- mained purposely silent. He was angi- ous to try and comprehend the d of her thoughts. “Do you know why?" she asked. *“Did he find the task too difficult, or did he relinquish it from any other motive?” “I am not sure,” Wrayson answered. “I met him the night before last. He was very much altered. He had the appearance of a man altogether un- nerved. Perhaps it was my fancy, but “Well?' she demanded eagerly. ““That he had come across something in the course of his investigations which had given him a shock,” he said. “He seemed all broken up. Of courge, it may have been something else altogether. He has ceased his investigations alto- gether, and broken with Sydney Barnes. The afternoon was warm, but she shivered as she rose a little abruptly to her feet. He laid his hand upon her arm. “Not without my answer.” he begged. She shook her head sadly. “My very dear friend,” she said sadly, “you must always be. That is all!” He took his place by her side. *“Your very dear friend.” he repeated. *“Well, it is a relationship I don't know much about. I haven’t had many rela- tionships amongst vour sex.

You are only postponing the time when 1 shall claim you.” She made no remark, and behind her veil her face told him little. A moment later they issued from the and- stood on the pavement before the baron- ess’ flat. She held out her hand without a word. “I think,” he said, “that I should like to come in and see the baroness.” (Continued in ToMOITow s Stary = THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

I never pass one by without my spirit lagging behind, longing to forsake the safe highway and follow that uncertain, shadowed trail. Where does it go after that first turning by the oak? What scented valley does it tread, what brook shares its small gossip- ing, what tip-toe heights wait at the journey’s end? nd oh, what odd regret is yours leaving it behind! You might have met such tingling adventures if you had left the stupid, beaten path and followed through the trees. That plain, safe road would do for common people, common But it you had just for the once defied the hum-drum calls, what magic might you not have come upon! And if there had been danger—? Would not those dangers have been almost a rellef after the tiresome safety of your «aily round? And surely you could cope with dangers which more timid folks might dread. Do wood roads make you feel that way, my Pal? I wonder if perhaps the call of that dim, winding path is not the same call that lures the sinner from the straight and narrow road?

BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Just a word for worried mothers: Put a little faith in others. Jenny Wren. “Come with me,” said Farmer Brown's Boy to his mother, and led the way out of the house to the door- yard, where hung his old coat from ene of the posts to which was fas- .ened the clothesline. Very much .uzzled, his mother followed. Some dfstance from the old coat Farmer Arown's Boy stopped. “Now watch,” said he. Hardly. had he spoken when Jenny Aren arrived with 3 straw and dis- appeared in one of the sleeves of that old coat. Farmer Brown's Boy was watching his mother's face, and he laughed right out at the expression on it. At the sound of his laugh Jenny Wren popped out and began to scold as_only Jenny can. It made Farmer Brown's Boy laugh again. “Didn’t I tell you my coat has been taken?" said he. “Well, of all things!" said Mrs. Brown as Mr. Wren arrived with a stick and disappeared in the sleeve of the coat. “Whatever posessed those birds to start a nest there? It is too bad they will have had all their work for nothing.” “Will they?” asked Farmer Brown's Boy. “Why, of course they will. What a silly question. I shink you better take that coat in at once before they waste any more time and work,” de- clared Mrs. Brown. “I wag thinking of leaving it right where it is,” replied Farmer Brown's Boy, watching his mother’s face from the ‘corner of one eye. “But it is a perfectly good coat!" exclaimed Mrs. Brown. “I know,” Farmer Brown's Boy hastened to say. “But after all it is an old one and I don't really need it. Supposing you had a house half built and a giant should come along and carry it off. How would you feel? Mrs. Brown looked into the freckled face turned toward her and smiled. “I should feel exactly as you think 1 would feel,” said she, “and I guess that is_just the way those Wrens would feel. After all, it is an old coat. and I guess you can do as you please with it. 1 am afraid it will blow down if a heavy wind comes up, and that will be as bad as if you should take it away. Now I must get back to work.” Farmer Brown's Boy stood for a few minutes watching Jenny and Mr. Wren. Then he turned toward the barn, and as he walked he whistled. Jenny Wren watched him out of sight 2nd in her eyes was & shrewd twin- e. “What did I tell you? sharply to Mr. Wren. “What did you tell me about what?" asked Mr. Wren. looking puzzled. “About Farmer Brown's Boy, pi snapped Mrs. Wren. Vhy—why"—Mr. Wren hesitated. “Didn’t 1 tell you he is one of the best friends we have?’ demanded Jenny. “Yes." replied Mr. Wren. “Yes, you did. Perhaps you are right, my dear. Perhaps you are right. You usually are. All the same I don't feel exactly comfortable now that he knows what we are doing. Fiddlesticks! sputtered Jenny. “Fiddlestieks! Get busy or we will never get this nest finished.

Potatoes, Beets and Eggs. Mash some boiled potatoes and to every quart of potatoes add one heaping tablespoon of butter, one tablespoon of salt, one-half teaspoon of pepper and hot milk or cream to moisten. Mash the potatoes in the kettle in which they were boiled and beat them with a fork until they are light and creamy. Turn them into a hot serving dish and care- fully mold them into shape with a spoon. Garnish with slices of pickled beets, hard-boiled eggs and parsley. —_— Peach Tapioca Pudding. Peel twelve large peaches, cut them in halves and remove the pits. Sprinkle with one-half cup of sugar and allow to stand overnight. Mix one cup of tapioca with one quart of cold water and allow to soak overnight. In the morning cook the taploca in a double boiler for one hour. Remove from the fire and add one-half teaspoon of salt, one-half cup of sugar and the juice drained from the peaches.

Address Dr. William Brady, in care of The Star.) The Anhedoniacal Posture. Splanchnic anhedonia, Which Wwe have been talking so glibly about lately (as though we knew more than the general run of doctors), is that incapacity to be quite happy which inevitably goes with the health impairment caused by sag- ging or displaced abdominal organs. Mind, many of us have loose or floating kidneys, sagged stomach or dropped colon without any serious disturbance of health, just as many of us have eyestrain, cardiovascular disease, tuberculos or cancer right now and without serioug health dis- turbance, just a knowledge that we are somewhat below par, which we are fond of ascribing to the bad weather, overwork, family cares and other equally impossible things. It seems to be human nature for us to wish to evade recognition that there is anything really the matter with our own health, as witness the pop- ularity of that good old subterfuge of the peerless prevaricator—‘merely functione! trouble”—as though all ase were not functional from st to last. Why one indi more than anoth idual suffers much r from splanchnop- tosis, or displuced viscera, is_not particularly a health question. Why does one person suffer more than another from hot weather or mos- quitoes or quacks or eyestrain? It iS a question of personality, tem- perament, nervous Stability. It de- pends on the equipment or reserve of energy on handd to start with and the extent to which this reserve is drawn on in other way: Thus, following any severe illnes: latent eyestrain, from the irregu larity called astigmatism, which all of us have more or less, is likely to manifest itself if we put the eyes to much use In reading or other near work, and go dogtors commonly ad- vise ' against ch reading shen. Likewise, when one's reserve of en- ergy has been heavily drawn on by illness, or by other strain, or when the reserve falls to a low ebb from any cause, then very likely visceral sagging or displacement w begin to produce marked symptoms. This change from latency to activity goes with the change from lying abed to gewing up and about—in sport. trouble begins when the indi- vidual assumes the upright or ver- tical posture, for then, if there is any sagging. the sagging gets in its worst work. ’ There are three vertigal postures commonly assumed by the most high- ly developed and most easily de- ranged animal. rst. the erect pos- ture: second, the slouchy posture: or caricatured » the slouchy L postures third, the exaggerated erect’ posture. Of the and the evaggerated may be called anhedoniac. Scientific obgervation has demon- strated this physiological fact: An individual with or without visce- roptosis or sagging of the stomach or colon can, by assuming a per- fectly ercct posture and voluntarily drawing the abdomen inward and up- ward at same time. lift the stomach or colon two or three inches A perfectly erect posture may he learncd—that is, the sense or ing of it may be acquired—by ing with back to a wall and keeping as many points of the hody, feet, limbs and head in contact with the wall as one possibly can. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Cross-Eyes. Can a person eighteen years old be cured ef -cross-eyve without a dan- gerous operation? (D. D. J.) Answer—Usually the eyes may be straichtened by means of an op- eration, which involves no danzer, if the oculist cannot correct the trou- ble with prisms. Often one eye (the deflected one) is blind, and in that case it will probably diverge again, even after it has been straightened. Buttermilk. Every night before retiring I drink one pint of ‘s Bulgarian but- termilk, with a few saltine crackers. I love buttermilk and thought I might as well have the best. Do you not think 's Bulgarian but.- termilk is the best kind? Is my habit salutary? (C. M. T.) Answer—Buttermilk is wholesome if ‘you like it, and it may have an improving influence on the bacterial flora of the colon. Metchnikoff ad- vised drinking each day one pint of skimmed milk which has been boiled five minutes, cooled to body warmth, and sowed with a culture of Bul- garian lactic bacilll to ferment it— that is, to sour it and cause some curdling. I know nothing of the particular brand of milk you men- tion. All buttermilks or fermented soured milks are much alike, in my judgment. Every One to His Own Tastes. Is it good to take a cold shower after strenuous exercise, or a good sweat? (Mrs. M. P.) Answer—Vigorous youngsters may enjoy a ccol shower after strenuous exercise, and gain in health thereby. Most of us grown-ups will find a dry rub and air bath, or at most an ex- ceedingly timid wash with luke-cool water for the indispensable spots, more to cur lLiking and our health. Surely it would not be advisable to attempt to induce artificial sweat- ing after strenuous exercise—exer- cise itself is the only healthful way to induce sweating for those able to exercise.

Phone Col Cleaning Program. .| Housecleaning need not be the bug- bear it has long been regarded in many houscholds. If the work is cag: fully planned, if the kind of furnish- ings that are easy to keep clean are chosen and handled in the right way, and if provision is made for kecping all the dirt possible out of the house, there will be no need for the up- heavals that result in discomfort 1o the entire household. The following are good rulcs by which to organize the housecieaning: . Keep dirt out of the house ing the walks, steps, porch. regularly and often. by sereening windows and doors near the ground and by insisting on having muddy s and coats cleaned, or left out- Lessen the, number of dust-collc ing places, Such as unnecessary ¢ boards, grooved and carved Woo work, floors with cracks, rough-fin- ished walls, elaborately carved and upholstered furniture, superfluous | draperies and bric-a-brac. Remove dirt frequently and syste- matically. This keeps the house and furnishings in better condition, and makes the need of heavy cleaning less frequent. Clean by taking the dirt away, not by scattering it, to settle again else- where. Do heavy cleaning a little at a time to avoid the hard work and discom- forts of the old-fashioned spring and fall housecleaning. Have a supply of good cleaning tools such as your work calls for, and keep them in good order in a convenient place. Use water and cleaning agents spar- ingly because otherwise they may spoil finishes and weaken glue, paste or cement. Watch for troublesome insects and animals, and take prompt measures to et rid of them if they appear. Make all the family help by leaving things where they belong, and in good condition. 4 These rules are given hy the United States Department of Agriculture in & new Farmers' Bulletin, No. 1180, Housecleaning Made EasieT.

Crochet covers in cherry-red silk over spherical-shaped wooden beads the size of cherries. Run thin green silk cord or embroidery to form the stems. Bunch them into an artistic group by having the stems of different lengths. Fasten them to a red velvet bow or tc green velvet leaves. Your crocheted cherry ornament will look quite chic on a sport hat. FLORA. B.cdcnmnthm: Use two quarts of either red or white currants, {rom which the stems have been removed; three pounds of sugar, oné pound of chopped raisins and two oranges, peeled and sliced.
