A GLASS HOUSE, HERB was one thing which Margie did not like about Willis Channing. That was his atti- tude toward Frank Spafford. When she told Spafford that she was in- terested in young Channing, instead of blackballing him and trying to throw stones at him, he stepped aside like @ man and let her decide for herself whether or not her interest was serious. But Channing immediately cast a slur upon Spatford when she spoke of him as an architect and a society “PF; map. Although the men had never met, each had a fair idea of the other’s character through her interpretation of vartous incidents which she re- lated. “How do you know Frank Spafford isn't engaged to that debutante, Lelia ‘Whitting?" Channing asked. “The paper said he wag, and uoless 4 news- paper retracts a statement it is al~ ways tras. You want to go slow on that society fellow, Perhaps he in- tends to marry Miss Lelia and just calls upon you because you ate an ‘unusually pretty little working girl in his estimation.” Margie didn’t like this slur against’ young Spafford. In the firat place it showed a jealous, vindictive spirit upen Channing's part, and im the sec~ ‘ond place this new angle worrled her. Spafford seomed so agitated and s wrought up the night he called and told her his rumored engagement was all nonsense that she did not think of doubting his word. Coult any man looks so white, sa utterly perturbed if he were not so deeply annoyed at heart? And yet she found doubt creeping into her brain every time she thought about Spafford. Although he gave pvery evidence that he cared for her seriously, had mgt proposed, Chan- nite had proposed. *.

Do you think I am going to let strangers ruin my things?" “Well, I only suggested it,” said Mr, Jarr. “You. know.

BURGER’S PATH, N the Sevente-nth Century, when the green grass grew all around New York, from the north side of Hanover Square to the river's edge beyond presesit Pearl Street, there was a. grassy bank shaded by native forest trees, on which visitimg Indian tribes used to cunp, Just in front of this ran a deep ravine, ? Burger Jorrissen, whose farm occu- pled part of this land, was ordered by the council in 1646 to make a' good wagon road which would pun. along this ravine, and fence it so that no one would fallin. This cartway came to be known as “Burger's Path.” “Burger's. Path" wae a much-used road about the time that the city made contracts for cleaning the atreets at thirty pounds sterling per annum. Before this time each man kept his own street clean, or at least that portion of it which was in front et his own door, Perhaps it was o crime wave sweep- ing the village that made it meces- sary, in 1697, one year after the street cleaning contract was made. for the city to provide means for lighting the streets.

Alkali in Sham Bad for Washing Hair Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, it dries the scalp and makes hair brittle, The best thing to use is cocoanut ofl shampoo, for this is pure and entirely greascless.
