She may have looked enviously at the millionaire’s daughter riding in a heated limousine and thought of her as one who might live forever without ever knowing what it is to shiver. Undoubtedly rich women could ar- range their lives so that they never feel the cold in Winter, but the fact is of course that daughters and wives of millionaires do a lot of shivering. City houses, apartments and hotels may be kept at hot-house temperature, and so may small suburban houses, but the spacious country house is usually cold enough. “It seems to me that the richer people are the colder their houses,” writes a young friend of mine who is spending the Autumn visiting rich folk who still linger on at their coun- try estates. *“I wonder why it is! ‘There is a very rich woman here who The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle (Copyrigh: SLEEVES |!

If she spent the ce of just one of these dresses to more coal 1 think she might make {her rooms a little less like the Arctic | regions.” | Doubtless, you yourself have visit- ed just such spacious count houses where nothing but a fur-trim- med velvet evening dress would have made you at all comfortable. The sketch shows a sort of tea gown recently made for one of these poor little r irls who spends much of her time in her charming country house that is seldom what most of us_would consider comfortably warm. Made of black velvet with gold agd rl trimming, it is really a zorseous sort of gown and is worn appropriately for informal dinners, a faint glimmer of brilliants ay red beneath the hem of her chiffon evening frock. Just an in- | triguing sps 1s she danced. And this was because she was wearing |a little underslip with small rhine- stones sewed on the points of the [ rufles.

Mi- nerva, goddess of women's arts, chal- lenged the mortal girl to a contest of their skill. Both wove, for days and weeks, and when at last Minerva gazed upon the hand‘work of the girl, she was so enraged that she changed Arjadne into a spider, and bade her spin on forever, Does this mean that Minerva was really outdone, and that, like a de- feated chess player who knocks the board over, she fell back upon her divine prerogatives, having been fairly v 30.

I do not know the answer to this question, but the naturalist concedes to no human being strength as great as the output of the spider. It is known that a spider’s web is stronger than steel; or, more precisely, if steel were spun out as fine as the gossamer of a spider's web, a fly could break it. Conversely, were a spider's web as thick as,” let us say, steel wool, it would be strong enough to trap a man so_that he could not escape.

He was born in 1807, died in 1882, He was a descendant of Joha'and Priscill; * inclaing ship “of Miles i “Tales of a Wayside Ins There lived some years ago in the city of Perigueux an honest notary public, & man of unoffending, quiet dispositton. He was the father of a family, though not the head of it; for, vou must know, he was henpecked. Finding no peace at home, he sought it elsewhere, and at length discovered an inp where he might rest, smoke his pipe, drink sugar-water and play dominoes. He had for a bosom friend a wine dealer who lived about three miles from the city and passed his evenings at this same inn. The bad practices of this wine dealer finally influenced the notary, who became addicted to wine. Thus these two were often drunk together. The nervous system of the notary at last gave 'way under the strain of the liquors, to which he was not used. He began to see strange things, but the worse he grew the more he smoked and tippled. His wife alternately stormed, remonstrated, entreated, but all in vain. She made the house too hot for him. He retreated to the inn. She broke his long-stemmed pipes. He substituted a short-stemmed one, which he carried in his vest pocket. Thus the unhappy notary ran grad- ually down at the heel. What with his bad habits and his domestic griev- ances, he became completely hipped. He imagined that he was going to die, and suffered in quick succession all the discases that ever beset mortal man. Every shooting pain was an alarming symptom, every uneasy feel- ing after dinner a sure prognostica- tion of some mortal disease, Then one December afternoon when the notary sat moping in his office a carriage stopped at the door and a loud knocking aroused him. It was a message from his friend, the wine dealer, who had been gsuddeply at- tacked with a violent fever, and, grow- ing worse, had now sent in great haste for the notary to draw up his last will and testament. The case was urgent and admitted neither excuse nor delay. Arriving at the wine dealer’s house, the notary saw there was no time to lose. Papers were got in readiness, and the notary was finally able to guide the sick man's hand as he scrawled his signature at the bottom of his will. Later that evening the wine dealer pasfed away. The doctor spoke to the notary as he was leaving. “Dreadful sickly time this!” he ex- claimed. “The disorder seems to be spreading. Two died yesterday and three today. It is scariet fever. You should be careful, my friend.” “Scarlet fever!” said the alarmed notary. “Then I am a dead man! Tell me, what are the symptoms?” he asked, putting his pipe hastily into his vest pocket. “A sharp burning pain in the right side,” said the doctor. “Oh, what a fool I was to come here!” moaned the poor notary. And nothing _could pacify the wretched man. He was sure he was going to die from scarlet fever. There was nothing to do but take the doctor’s horse to return to the city, for the carriage in which the notary came had returned long ago. So the notary mounted this raw-boned steed and set forth upon his home- ward journey. The night was cold and gusty and the wind right in his teeth. Overhead leaden clouds were beating to and fro, the trees by the roadside groaned with evil omen and the notary was filled with symptoms of disease and dire presentments of death. Suddenly, after a mile or so, and just as the apprehensions of the no- A Real Test. The educational tests showed Don as a genius.

She said what she hoped for rather than what she expected, for Don as the family chore boy was a distinct loss.

LONGFELLOW. tary were subsiding, there came a sharp pain in his right side which the street, seeing the notary dash by so madly, joined in the hue and cry and ran barking and yelping at his horse's heels It was now late at night, and only hero and there a solitary lamp twinkled from an upper story. But on went the notary, down this street and up that, till at last he reached his door. There was a light in his wife's room. The good woman came to the window, alarmed at such a knock- ing and howling and clattéring at per door so late at night, and the notary as too_deeply absorbed in his sor- and worries to care much what his wife might think of his rousing at this absurd hour of a stormy night. “Let me in! Let me in! Quick! Quick!” he exclaimed, almost breath- less from terror and fatigue. Vho are you, that you should come to disturb a lone woman at this hour seemed to pierce him like a needle. “It is upon me at last!” groaned the fear-stricken man. ‘“Heaven be merciful to me, the greatest of sin- ners! And must I die in a ditch, after all? He! Get up! Get up!” And away went the horse and rider dowp, panting and blowing like a whirlwind. At every leap the pain in the rider’'s side seemed to increase. At first it was a little point like the prick of a needle, then it spread to the size of a half-dollar, then it cov- ered a place as large as the palm of your hand. It gained upon him fast. The poor man groaned aloud in agony. Faster and faster sped the horse over the frozen ground; farther and farther spread the pain over his side. To complete the dismal picture, the storm commenced—snow mingled with rain. But snow and rain and cold were naught to him, for his frozen arms and legs were frozen to icicles he felt it not. The fatal symptom was upon him. He was doomed to die, not of cold, but of scarlet fever. At length, he knew not how, more dead than alive, he reached the gate of the city. A band of fll-bred dogs that were serenading at a corner of of the night?” cried the sharp voice of his wife from above. ‘Begone about your business and let quiet people sleep.” “Come down and let me in! your husband. Don’t you know my voice? Quick, 1 beseech you, for I am dying here in the street!” cried her husband in a loud voice. After a_few moments of delay and a few more words of parley, the door was finally opened and the notary stalked into his domicile, pale and haggard in aspect and as still and straight as a ghost. Cased from head to heel in an armor of ice, as the glare of the lamp fell on him, he looked like a knight errant mailed in steel. But in one place his armor was broken. On his right side was a cir- cular spot as large as the crown of your hat and about as black. “My dear wife!” he exclaimed, with more tenderness than he had exhibited for many years. “Reach me a chair. My hours are numbered. I am a dead man!" And, exhausted, the notary sank into the chair his wife offered. Alarmed at such exclamations, his wife stripped off his overcoat. Some. thing fell from beneath it and was dashed to pieces on the hearth. It was the notary’s short-stemmed pipe! He placed his hand upon his side, and lo! it was bare to the skin! Coat, vest and linen were burned through and through, and there was a blister on his side as large as your hand. The mystery was soon explained, symptoms and all. The notary had put his pipe into his pocket without knocking out the ashes. And so my story ends. Oh, you wonder whether the poor notary died? Yes, he dled. Of what? ‘Why, of—of a sudden.

She carried a can of green gloss paint, a nice, shiny can with a bright and glossy label. “Is this the paint you are looking for, father? It was on the garage [sheit.” Father looked unutterable things at Don, who said brightly: “But, father, you sald a can of paint, and that's a box of paint. A can has a handle. 1 was looking for a can with a handle.” “Yes? What 1 sent you for was green paint—green paint.” You see, educational tests, tests upon educational experiences that school life furnishes, are but one phase of experience.
