I suppose It's too late to whip it out of me. Ruth did herself less than justice. She had been willful, snd she had flirted in an innocent way, but she was far from fickle. A few boys had plunged fathoms deep in love with her, but it had been good for their education. Ruth was as clean as the windswept hills, and there was in her a deep loyalty. Hopelessly he threw out a hand. My own fault, I reckon. I spoiled you let you run hog wild gave you your own way. If I'd used a quirt on you, it might have been better. Ruth knew why he had been so indulgent. She reminded him of the young wife he had lost two or three years after her birth. I took advantage of your goodness to me," Ruth agreed. "Your brothers are boys Fm proud of fine steady young feUows who will do to ride the river with. I know they will be with me long as they can stand and fight And I thought I could depend on you too, even if you are a wild colt I didnt figure you'd walk out on me to join my worst enemy."

Girl, youre laying up trouble for yourself unless you change your ways, and trouble for anyone fond of you. Youd ought to go down on your knees and thank God you didnt marry this scoundrel. You would have paid for it aD your life. Ruth knew this was true, and admitted it Tm ashamed of myself, she said with unwonted gentleness. Chiswick looked at her, started to speak, then turned on his heel abruptly and strode out of the room. Ruth knew why he left Her attitude lapped at his resentment and weakened it He did not want to forgive her yet not while the passionate abhorrence of what she had done was still hot in him. (TO BE COST1VUED) Light and Heavy Salads. Originally salads wer mad of greens with m light but zestful dressing. GraduaUy they wer modified to fit the occasion- - Fruits, cheese, eggs, fish, and meat are now put into salads and used as the main dishes at luncheon and supper. A good rule to follow is to use light salads with heavy meals, heavy salads with otherwise light meals. Soaking Clothes. Do not soak clothes so long that the dirt is distributed through the fabric and gives an ugly color to the clothes. If soaking in hot water, never allow the water to become cold before washing. If you are going to soak the clothes over night, be sure the sudsy water is cold, else your clothes will be a poor color. Starching Curtains. Some laundresses claim that if curtains are dry before being starched they will keep clean longer. Moths Lika Soiled Cloths. Moths do not attack clean woolen articles as readily as soiled ones. Drying Striped Blankets. When drying blankets that havs colored stripes, hang them so that the stripes are perpendicular to the ground; any dye that runs is then less apt to go into the rest of the blanket. Tarnished Silver.

It Was Quite Natural for the Justice to Inquire Bright colored yams may be sub- stituted for the stocking strips or combined with them if desired. Either plaids or stripes may be worked out, and the best results will be obtained with a simple color scheme such as the one suggested here. Dye the stockings before cutinch wide ting. Cut the strips and about an inch longer than the space they are to fill. Taper one end of the strip so that it will pull through the burlap easily. If long strips are needed, cut around and around the stocking spirally instead of lengthwise. Now, draw out one thread of the burlap; then tie one end of the next thread to the tapered end of the stocking strip as at A.
