Pack the pleces of silver so wrapped in a box with close-fitting cover and put in a drawer or on a closet shelf. When wanted again, rub the flour off with a soft cloth, and it should come out bright and shining. It is well to rub the pieces vigorously with the cloth before washing, first in cold water, then in hot soapy water in which a little washing soda has been dissolved. Hints for Hollow Ware. Hollow silverware does not lend it- self well to this treatment. It can be polished, rubbed very dry and covered with a Canton flannel case made to inclose the piece neatly. When want- ed, remove any tarnish that may have come by moistening a cloth in a solu- tion of household ammonia and water. Rub well; do not dilute the household ammonia very much. It is not very strong anyway. The silver should be well washed in hot, soapy water im- mediately after the ammonia rub, so that none of the ammonia remains more than a short time on the silver. ¥ Cases for Silver. One reason why spoons, forks, knives and any flatware of silver that are kept in Canton flannel cases remain bright longer than those mere- ly laid in silver drawers is because the gases and moisture are kept away" from them.

Will you please to tell me, Brother Fox, how you think a lobster could grow with- out getting rid of his old shell every 50 often, and getting a new one?” This was too much for Reddy. The more he thought it over, the more clear it became that lobster inside « hard shell couldn’t grown any more than to fill that shell out. But it was just as hard for him to see how it was possible for a lobster to get out of his shell. “Have you ever seen a lobster out of his shell?” he asked. Barker smacked his lips. “I should say 1 have,” said he. “Just talking about it makes me hungry. I have a notion to look around under the sea- weed around these rocks and see if I can find one right now.” “Wait a minute! Wait a minute!” cried Reddy. “If you please, how does a lobster get out of his shell?” “Oh, he does it easily enough,” re- plied Barker carelessly. “Some of those joints become soft and he draws those claws back through them. Then the shell cracks in cer- tain places and he draws himself out. Then he hides. You see, there are a lot of fish that are tickled to death to find Big Claw out of his shell, not He can't protect himself at all then. He has claws, but he can’t pinch. 0ld Big Claw just lies low until he gets a new shell. Then, if he is any size at all, he doesn't care much who finds him.” “How long is it after he leaves his old shell before he can safely move about and come out of hid- ing?” inquired Reddy. ‘Oh, about a week,” replied Barker. “Can he pinch then?” Reddy. “Can_ he pinch!” exclaimed Barker. “Can he pinch!

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX /hich Helps Husband Most, Wife Who Saves and Looks Shabby or One Who Spends and Looks Smart?—Toil for Worthless Brother. DEAR MISS DIX: My sister-in-law is so saving that she really doesn’t keep herself looking decent. Never has anything but the cheapest clothes. Won't even -have her teeth fixed, although they badly need it; puts every penny in the bank. She criticizes me because I dress well and take care of myself; but I notice that her husband never fakes her out, while mine is proud to be seen out with me and to show me off. Which one of us is right? MRS. EXTRAVAGANT. Answer: Parsimony and extravagance are equally to be condemned. If you have to lean to one side or the other it is probably better to be too stingy than to be too wasteful, for, at least, the tightwad does not hurt any.one but himself, whereas others always have to pay the waster’s bills. Of course, there is @ happy medium in spending, as in everything else. Fortunate are those who achieve it, who know when to open their pocket- books and when to snap them shut: who are liberal without being extrav- agant; who keep well within their incomes and save up something for the rainy day without becoming penny-pinchers. But when all {s said—when you leave generalities and come down to brass tacks and small incomes—there is no more difficult problem that a woman has to solve than whether it is better to be frugal or extravagant, and how much she is justified in spending on personal adornment. Because few married women have any way of earning money they feel that the only way they can help their husbands is by saving. Therefore, the wife who is ambitious for her man becomes a nickel-nurser. She pares every expense to the bone. She scrimps the very food they eat. She eliminates every pleasure and grace of life. Her talk is always of money, money, money. She works so hard that she grows old and ugly before her time. She never has any pretty clothes and looks the shabby household drudge that she fs. But instead of her husband and children appreciating the sucrifices she makes for them and being grateful for the money she has saved for them, they invariably look upon her with contempt. They are ashamed of her ap- pearance, » Look around among your acquaintances and you will see that the best- loved wives and mothers are not the ones who have pinched to help buy a home or send their children through college and who are wearing year-before- last's bird nests on thelr heads, but the frilly ladies who always kept them- selves well dressed and attractive-looking and who have taken their share of pleasure as it came along. Nor can a woman always be sure that the best way of helping her hus- band is by putting every nickel in the bank instead of some of them on her back. A man's wife is his show window, where he advertises whatever measure of success he has met with, and it hurts his credit for her to be shabby and ill-dressed. T once heard a doctor whose miserly wife always looked as if she had Jjust been fished out of the raghag say to her: “For Heaven's sake go and get yourself some good clothes! Buy the best vou can find. You are ruining my practice by the way you look, for people are bound to think that I am either such a poor doctor that nobody will send for me or else that I am so mean and stingy that I won't give my wife a de- cent frock.” So there is that side of the question to be considered, too, and it all comes back in the end to the wisdom of steering the middle course. The best way to do is to make a budget and decide what you can afford to spend after you have laid up a certain amount as an insurance against the future. Then spend the balance on good clothes and good times. e DOROTHY DIX. . AR DOROTHY DIX: We are two sisters, both working women, and we have a ne’er-do-well brother whom our father has supported for years to please mother. A few weeks ago he got in trouble, and begged us for half of the money we had saved up to get him out of jail. In order to keep from breaking mother’s heart we gave it to him against the advice of our father although it took the savings of years. He is now out of jail and again annoy- ing the life out of us for more money MARY AND MARTHA. Answer—Refuse to give him one single, solitary cent. If you don’t you will spend the remainder of your lives toiling to support a worthless loafer, for the more you give him the more he will demand. You will become merely the slaves of a jailbird. The most senseless thing that any family ever does is to impoverish itself to pay some black sheep “out of trouble,” and protect him from the punish- ment he deserves. The idea is, of course, that it saves them from disgrace, but this is not true. Everybody knows that the boy who steals is a thief whether his parents sell the house over their heads and take the last cent they had saved up for their old age to pay back the money he has purloined, or ;‘liha:ihfir they let the law take its course and he gets the jail sentence that is his due. When we save the sinner from the consequences of his sin we aid and abet him in sinning. We encourage him to go on in sinning hecause he feels that he can sin with impunity. The idea behind our whole system of punish- ment of criminals is to reform them by teaching them that wrongdoing doesn't pay and that if they break the laws they will be punished for doing so. Many a hoodlum has been turned into a decent citizen by three months of hard labor in a reformatory. s It is parents who are accessory before the fact, as the law puts it, to half the crimes that are committed by lazy, shiftless young chaps, who would rather graft a living than work for it. They know that their parents will pay their fines and as long as mother and father can toil they know that they will never be without a place to sleep and something to eat. 8 Don’t encourage your worthless brother in his wrongdoing because mother weeps and robs you of your hard earnings to give to him. Have enough backbone to refuse to be the goat that she wants to sacrifice to the DOROTHY DIX. s e e EAR MISS DIX: I have been married five years and my husband is yery good to me and the children. He makes enough money to keep us dom- fortable. We own our own home, have a car, a radio, ete. He helps me with my housework when the girl is gone and almost every morning gets up and gets breakfast for the whole family while the girl shes and dresses the children and I sleep serenely on. HHe never interferes with my plans, but Somehow I don’t trust him. If 1 could only believe in him I would be perfectly happy. He will agree with anybody on any subject. He changes his opinion as often as he does his coat. This shocks m: honesty. What shall T do? Can you give me a slogan to live by? JULIA K. Answer—I don’t wonder you can’t believe in such a husband. He scems too good to be true. broad enough to let other people enjoy their own opinions in peace is to be blessed of the gods, and the best slogan I can suggest for you to live by is that expressed in the popular song, “Ain't We Got Fun?"

Many of the horses igid principles of To be married to a man who never argues and who is | tween the South Carolina Militia, under Col. Andrew Williamson, and the Cherokees at Eseneka, an Indian village on the frontier. Col. Willlam- con had been assembling a force at Picken’s Fort since July 1 in prepar- ation for any hostile move the sav- ages might make. He decided that the time had come to take the of- fensive against the mixed assemblage of Indians and Tories, whom Cam- eron, the British agent, has been or- ganizing for warfare against the lib- erties of America. On the night of July 31 he started out from this fort with 350 horsemen to surprise Cameron at Oconoree Creek, near Eseneka. The business of sitting within the fort and allow- ing the other side to do all the at- tacking had lost its attractiveness for the frontiersmen as soon as they were well provided with arms. A small but strong dose of aggressive tactics might have a desirable effect upon the red warriors, said they, and might ward off complications of a more dangerous character. ‘Willlamson’s men did, indeed, sur- prise the Cameron outfit in the end, but not until they had themselves en- untered a surprise. Oconoree Xeek flows through the village of Eseneka. Willlamson had been told, probably by rascally Tories, that the hither bank of the creek was desert- ICED "SALADA" So pure and refreshing. Try it dropped and panic seized the entire party, but Col. Hammond managed by some miracle to rally 20 men to his side for a charge upon a fence from behind which the heaviest fire was coming. This display of courage took the fight out of the savages for the time ebbing, but not until 18 fron- tiersmen had been wounded. At daybreak Willlamson dmmyefl‘ the houses on the hither bank and ordered an advance across the stream, but only to be met with the refusal of his men to follow, when Hammond a second time saved the situation, declaring that he would go alone if necessary, and wading into the stream with only three men at his side. Inspired by this spectacle the rest immediately followed and with a shout crossed the stream and rushed the houses on the farther bank, driv- ing out every last redskin in short order. They then burned the houses, some 6,000 bushels of corn and other provisions and returned to the fort. SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y. CORY We's goin’ to the seashore tomor- row.

In her own room crouched down beside the bed, Leila yielded to the re- lief of tears. The scene in the library had shaken her to the depths. Barry's part in it, she dismissed without a second thought. Not even the sugges- tion that she live with the Kingsleys as one of the family, had tempted her for a_moment because of the feeling of loathing that he inspired in her. He hadn't even been man enough to come to her first with his proposal of marriage. Doubtless he had not given a thought to the fact that she might refuse. What sensible girl in her po- sition could possibly refuse to become Mrs. Barry Kingsley, to have maids to wait on her, all the pretty clothes | she wanted, a car, and luxury? No, it wasn't the thought of Barry that seemed to drain the blood from her heart and send it in hot waves all over her body, it was the knowledge that Richard Kingsley loved her. She had known it when she had first en-| tered the room and had seen that look i on his face, but she hadn’t known her | he had touched ‘ | own feelings, until her. Those words of his, “Do you respect me, Lelia?" still echoed in her ears. Her hand still tingled from the pres- | sure of his, and the touch of his lips | against her palm made her heart sing | with a kind of ecstasy that she had | never before experienced.

Not even when the girl's ankle had been sprained had she come to see her, she had always sent Kuwa or Marie with messages she had wanted conveyed. Now. as Lelia con- fronted her, Mona's face was white with anger. There was a pinched look about her delicate nostrils, and hor blue eves were bright and hard. “I want you to get ready to leave this house by tomarrow morning,” she said evenly. Leila had risen to her feet and she now facéd Mona with a look as haughty as her own. “I shall go at once, Mrs. Kingsley. In fact, I shall be glad to go.” Mona sneered. It was as if she had worn her breeding like a veneer and was now shedding it. “You thought you were very clever, didn't you, setting your cap for the son of the house and thinking to get away with it.
