Then after a cordlal word to Lillian and Marion Harriet Bralthwalte turned to Dicky, H “KHichard, you absurd boy !" she scolded, “what did you mean by pie- turing your apartment in sueh awful colors? Why ! it's charming !" “Delightful,” big Edwin Yiraith- wailte, echoed, his cyes following his wife's uround the room which 1 tele- graphed a glance of appreciation and thankfulness to Lilllan, and preened myself a bit at Dicky's look of as- tonished approval Lilllan had softened the old-fash- foned and ugly eleetric chandelier over the table with impromptu shades fashloned from the soft-tinted paper surrounding the flowers, and decked it with trailing vines, Instead of being the ugliest thing in the room it was suddenly the prettiest, strik- ing & noto which Lilllan had carried out in the decking of the table be- neath it. And the softened light mellowed and lent beauty to every- thing else in the room. Even the atrocious coarse luce curtains at the windows became delicate and filmy in the glamour of that coloring. 1 enjoyed their Inspection to the full, and then, remembering the apartment upstairs exactly like our | own which I had tried to make com- fortable I was afrald would now ap- pear doubly unattractive by con- trast, 1 hastened to explain. “I am afraid Dicky is partly right, Harriet. These rooms are awful from an artistic standpoint, al- though they are clean and com- fortable. But Mrs, Underwood is a genjus at this sort of thing, and I turned her loose in here a few min- utes ago with the results you see.” “I thought I lamped your fine Italian mitt,” Dicky commented with a grandlose bow to Lillian. “But, Harriet,” drawing a chair forward and putting her into it, T am afraid daylight will compel your agreement with me that it is nothing but a dump, pure and simple.” “I wish I had one like it his sister retorted, and, remembering Dicky's captious criticism, 1 could not resist flashing him a triumphant 8rin as 1 answered: “You have the one directly above this on the next floor. Would you like to go up there and rest for a few minutes while I get dinner on the table?” “Oh ! indecd 1 would,” she an- swered, promptly rising. “How about you, Edwin?" Her big husband looked up quizzi- cally from the armchair in which he had ensconced himself. Marion was perched on his knee, and his strong fine face wore the contented look which the proximity of a child al- ways brings to him. “You couldn’t drag me from this spot with twice twenty wild horses,” he sald firmly, “1 will consent to wash the dust from my hands and face before dinner, but I know Madge will let me do that down here." The difference in the name each gave me was indicative of the per- sonality of each. Harriet, who in- herits the dignity and precision of her mother, always addresses me by my full name of Margaret, although I do not think she dislikes the dim- inutive as does my mother-in-law. But Edwin Braithwaite, famous sur- geon, always calls me Madge, the name which Dicky has endeared to !flwr F‘rom John Alden Prescott to Sydney Carton, Continued. 1 stood around, Syd, and tried to look interested in the baby, but, hon- estly, all I could think of was that money. As far as Leslic was con- cerned, however, I might have been & table or a chair. Finally little Jack stopped that rasping cough and breathed casier. She then turned to me and said curtly, “I'm tired. I shall lie down for awhile.” “But Leslie,” I expostulated, “'please tell me if you got the money from your father. It is absolutely impera- tive if I wish to hold my position With Pullock that the money is turned Pack into the gencral fund today.” “All right,” Leslie said, “I'll give ru the money,” and picking up )wr} andbag which she had dropped in my room when she went to care for| the baby, she opened it and pulled oul; @ roll of bills. i You can imagine my surprise, 8yd. 1 could not and still cannot under-| stand why Leslie should have cash| instead of a check, but I was happy enough to get the money in any| form.

Yet we are continually hearing this advice, in one way and another from those who should know better. The death of A. R. Smith, secre- tary of Dover College, England, while playing golf, has been made the sub- ject of much newspaper comment on both sides of the ocean. It is not right to exaggerate such events, It scares a lot of old fellows out of their only fun in life, Golf wasn't to blame at all, but something else in body condition, that golf helps to overcome every day. Mr. Smith was 65 years The broadcaster at once this query—"At what golfers quit the game?” John D. is almost 90 and still at it. It might just as well be asked, at what age should we begin? No definite information or statistics are available, on the age of golf play- ers, in the hundreds of clubs in this country. The only statistics we have, is that thousands are greatly bene- fited every day by, this open-air exer- cise. To say that arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) has pro- gressed so far, at 60, that golf club swinging is dangerous——is pure bunk. The fact is, there is much co- ordination between mind and muscles in this wonderful ‘game. The leg muscles are strengthened, also those of the abdomen, back and shoulders, The ankles, which often stiffen up a bit at 50—are kept free and supple by stretching, and turning. * While the strokes, hazards and distances keep the mind interested. A new club has recently been formed in Chicago, limiting its mem- bership to those over 50. Over 100 sign up the first week.

In a few minutes she came out and handed me 12 five hundred dol- lar bills. As I felt the peculiar tex- ture of our American money in my hands a cold perspiration broke out all over me. For a moment I could not speak and then rushed to take her in my arms. Something in her face stopped me and I stammered my thanka. “Leslie, dear girl, you surely know that I appreclate what you have done for me. I know how hard it was for you and I certainly will pay your father back very soon. 1Is he better “Ye anyone know steely. “Then your mother gave you the money. How kind of her.

JOHNNIE. THE TOO FRIENDLY FAT LADY. Mr. Skinner, the Living Skeleton, was having a most uncomfortable time on this, his birthday. His plat- form in the side show, and that of Miss Boggs, the Fat Lady, were side by side. There was a reason for that, He made Miss Boggs look even fat- ter than she was, while she made him look all the thinner. Mr. Skinner did not like this ar- rangement, The truth of the matter was this: He found.the Fat Lady al- t the CIRCUS and h1s CUFFY BEAR ~ ~ By ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY and asked him to bring the Living Skeleton a glass of water. She insist- ed on loaning Mr. ‘Skinner her Wan. She remarked that he looked !'peak- ed.” Mr. Skinner started violently when she said the word ‘“pcak-ed.” A tremor passed over his bony frame. For a moment he thought the Iat Lady had called him by his first name, which was Ed. 2 Mr. Skinner was feeling o discour- aged that evening that he came near staying away from the mess tent at The far Lady tapped the Living Skeleton on the shoulder " What ke 00-Uful gyes you have,® she saud | too friendly {8he was forever Dbestowing sugary smiles upon him.

He didn't want to see the ¥at Lady any more fhan he had to. He hadsa wild idea of hiding un- der a circus wagon and making a meal of peanuts and popcorn. But he thought better of it. He de- cided at last that he would wait un- til he was sure the Fat Lady was in the midst of her supper. Then he would slip into the mess tent and find him a seat near the door, where he could slip out if she made the elight- est move toward him, When Mr. Skinner, the Living Skel, cton, stepped into the mess tent he lad a great surprise. From a long table fons of the side show rose and began to cheer. Everybody was looking at him. At the head of the table the Fat Lady beckoned to him and peinted to to the empty chair besire her. And then she began to sing, He's a Jolly Good Fellow!"
