Ginger sped away to don ber sis ter"s organdie before she carefully re-moved tbe frail golden dishes from smong tbe wedding treasures In her sister's chest, and carried them gin-gerly down tbe stairs. When, some sixty minutes later, Kddy Jackson appeared In the open doorway wltb his customary blithe. "Hello, everybody," 1 ravishing vision presented Itself. Marjory, lovely, laughing, sat among the cushions In tbe wide conch by tbe floor lamp, wltb a delicate cup poised between ber white dngert. At ber side, with the shining array of tbe golden coffee set on a small table close at ber hand, was Ginger In blue organdie. "Come In," she called brightly. "We are having our coffes slowly, so you can Join us." "Coffee f Oh, Indeed. I see." Eddy's voice was enigmatical, but, rallying with a visible effort, be proceeded to Introduce bla friend, Alexander Mur-doc- k. a genuinely romantic figure, al-though neither garbed In conven-tional dress suit nor shining coat of malt. He waa very tall, wltb a great ease ot manner and complete wtrb sleek dark hair, and dark bright eyes, and a thin brown face. Ginger could have danced with Joy. She poured the coffee with lingers tbat trembled Just a little, casting dis-creet proprietary glances at Uurjory to make sure that she remained viv-idly alert and Interested, and frowning terribly at Eddy Jackson on the side. Eddy studied tbe delicate lines of bis small cup wltb a significant fascina-tion, balanced the small saucer pre-cariously on bis large hand, and emp-tied the cup in two large draughts, requesting more, and again more. Alexander Murlock, on the other hand, as became a genuinely romantic figure, bandied bis with an ease, a finish, bo i of long and steady custom. Ginger flashed trfnmpb at ber sister. "Ton seel" her expression proclaimed. "Just as I told you I Am 1 so dumb?" "Marjory and I have not been abroad yet, Mr. Murdock," she said. In a tone which Implied that their depar-ture was a mere matter of days. "It must be very fascinating." "Father went on a tour of tbe Holy land," volunteered Marjory, "before we were born." "For myself," continueu Ginger, pausing for a light touch of her lips to the rim of tbe golden cup, for sue abhorred black coffee, "1 abould not care ao much to do tbe Holy land. 1 want to go to Paris and see Mont-martr- e, and tbe boulevards, and the Follies, they don't bave things like that In the Holy land.

"Do let me fill your cup," she cooed. "Too see," continued the low, slow voice, "1 took on a Job today, and shall go to work tomorrow." Ginger leaned forward. She did not breathe.

It was dim cult of approach, for there were oo stairs leading to It, and sole admis-sion was by means of s wabbly old ladder of all rounds, which, carefully balanced against tbe wall at tbe end of tbe upper ball, led to the trapdoor which opened upward Into the attic. Ginger loved the attic moat of all for Its Inaccessibility. The trapdoor, which swung on a hinged lock and bad to be pushed upward wltb one band, was no obstacle, but an added charm Id ber eyes. On the attic aide of tbe door, aba bad, wltb ber own bands, driven a big staple, added another hook, and when aha went thltber on matters of any special moment, abe locked it furtively behind ber. Tbe studio waa her sacred retreat, and on tbla particular Sunday after-noon she had a definite motive In re-tirement, for abe aought the guidance of the Muses. Ginger hsd made a find. Eddy Jackson bad brought to the parsonage, as a 8atnrday gift from his mother, a jar of preserved peacbea wrapped Id an old page of the New Tork World. Helen had crum-pled It lightly Into the waste basket, where tbe sharp eye of Ginger Ella had espied It, whence ber greedy fin-gers bad resetted IL And from It she learned, to her delight, tbat tbe New York World would pay live dollars eacb for the Bright Sayings of Chil-dren. One of Ginger's great grievances In Ufa waa tbe tendency of her sisters to recall, and repeat, smart snylngs of ber own childhood Sucb repetition reduced ber to abject and helpless fury. But she noted that tbe auditors alwaya laughed, am-ple proof ot the presence ot bumor. She cast about In her memory for the most amusing of these pseudo and unable to discover merit by ber own Judgment, aha hit upon the one that bad produced the greatest gales of merriment Merely changing namea and relationships from ber own and Helen'a to tbat of a mother and daughter, she wrote: "Mrs. Ingraham spent an entire afternoon assisting a neighbor to cut out and fit a gown, and when tbe gar-ment was entirely finished, she wished to make payment for the time con-sumed. Oh, no,' said Mrs. ingraham pleasantly, 1 shall not take a cent for It I did tt entirely out of friend ahlp.' Tbe neighbor was Insistent, but Mrs. Ingraham remained firm, and would not take tbe money. At last ahe turned to Alice, Mrs. kigrabam'a email daughter standing near, and said. 'Alice, tell me, how can I make your mother take tbla Ave dollars which she baa fully earned? Alice considered a moment, and then gravely, 'You might give It to me, and ahe will borrow It' " Ginger wrote, corrected, and copied. Tben ahe read It, dls.asteful'y "It's a dumb thing, ahe thought frownlngly. But the memory of unfailing laughter encouraged her, and ahe folded It neatly, tucked it into an envelope, and addressed It In a Drm large band. At alz o'clock, the girls cume to-gether In the kitchen where they hur-riedly set out a light supper, tn order to be at church again at seven for tbe meeting of the Epwortb league. Mr. Tolllver did not attend this, aa it was a service especially calculated to en-courage and train the younger mem-bers of the congregation tn active par tlclpation, and be Inclined to the belief that they took part wttb more free-dom In bis absence.

"It's a Dumb Thing." and hurried down the flagstone path toward her own home. Ginger's eyes were stormlly reflec-tive. "H'm," .she muttered. "U'ml Man-ma- Tbe darn thing'a catching." Later that afternoon, Edd.v Jackson, calling by telephone, got Ginger on tbe wire. "Have you anyone there who would like a little beauing?" be Inquired teasingly. "Marjory would like It 1 suppose, but I'm here to see that she doesn't get It" "Miriam there r , "No, she baa gone to Chicago with father. Helen haa gone driving, and for dinner, with the mathematical squire, and won't be borne until late. Margie's here, I'm here, and if you want to bold hands we can get Miss Jenkins." "I dont But 1 have a chap here man 1 met In Chicago a long time ago pretty nice fellow lives In New York Just back from a two years' tour of the world and all points east I thought perhaps Marjory might take htm on. for the evening, but aince Miriam la away, you would bave to d me."' Even over tbe telepluae Eddy could feel the sudden avarice tn Ginger's voice, the covetous glitter of ber bright eyes, the guile In her flying thoughts. New York Chicago around the world "Why, Eddy of course I Td love to. Marjory will adore it me, too. You know I always enjoy yoa, Eddy, you've got ao much sense." "We'll breeze In sbout eight, then." Ginger flew up the stairs. "Margie, Margie," she called. "Quick put on the dress." Marjory's calm was maddening. She waa manicuring ber pink nails. She looked up evenly, looked down, con-tinued to polish. to Mr. Tolllver and Miriam, starting for Chicago. Sucb tremendous Issues were involved in this small Journey. Perhaps he would return without the hated glasses, perhaps tbe dear tired eyea would see once more tbe love tbat shone In theirs. Perhaps tbe dreaded operation would be declared Inevitable. Perhaps tLlngs would Just drag on and on, month after month, as they bad dragged tn tbe past They went . out to tbe veranda, Miriam leading tbe way with tbe light bag.

Prior to bis Inauguration In New Tork, congress requested the then postmaster general to fit np, tor Pres-idential use, a suitable mansion The house at No. 1 Cherry street, built In 1770, on what was known as Cherry hill, because a cherry orchard once stood there, was selected. It was "Ave windows wide," three stories high and Dot overly spacious or suitably lo-cated. Every room was fitted up In the most lavish style of the day. The seeming extravagance startled tbe fro gal folk of tbe times. An account written by an eyewitness at the time, declared tiiat "The whole of the Orel and second story Is papered and the floors covered with the richest kind of Turkish and Wilton carpets." Tbe first congratulatory visitors which the first President received here were the members of the New York Chamber of Commerce. tn sfter years this bouse was used aa a music store snd also as a bank. It was demolished In ISM and the chair used by the president of tho New York Historical society Wat built from material taken out ot It ' Tbe western approach to tbe Brook-lyn bridge now passes over tbe site and one of the abutmenta carries a tablet which reads: "The first presi-dential mansion, No. 1 Cherry 8treet, occupied by George Washington from April 24, I78fl. to February 2a 1790. Erected by Mary Washington Colonial Chapter, April 80, 1809." "Home, Sweet Home" it LIOME, SWEET HOME," that moat endearing song which has touched countless hearts, flrst sung In Covent Garden theater, London, In 182,1. waa written by an who, at the time, bad neither home nor wife, apparently waa homeless during most of his life, never married and thus attempted to Instill Into the minds of those for-tunate folk who were privileged to enjny tbat which fate bad denied him a full appreciation of the blessing that waa theirs. And while It earned a rather princely sum for its pub-lishers, the author appears to have gained little financial reward for Its production. ' John Howard Payne, who was born In 1791, lived for a time during his early years, in a aturdy, simple, homey house In the little community of East Hampton on the southern shore of Long Island, the memory of which etched Itself deeply Into his sensitive being. ,,-- In later life, Payne was appointed consul of tbe United States at Tunis, Africa. He died on that far-o- ff con-tinent In 1852, In bia sixtieth year. Many years later bla remains were brought to this country and under g trees in peaceful Oak Hill cemetery in Wash-ington, D. C. Meanwhile the quaint "home" more than 200 years old shingle-cla-d, weather-beate- vine festooned, standing with bne end facing the street, has been carefully preserved as a memorial to Its author. Lafayette Square LAFAYETTE square, that place Just across "The Avenue" from the home of the President of the United States, was so named by the Father of His Country and first Used aa a parade ground for troops. Today It Is an ideal spot In which to sit and dream on a summer day. .,, i- : ,, An assortment ot trees mottle the sunshine on the lawn, winding walks invite, benches lure; trusting pigeons and squirrels beg; five noteworthy monuments bid for attention one to General Lafayette, another to Kos-ciusko the bero of Saratoga ; a third to Rocbambeau, who came to Amer-ica with an army to assist Washing-ton ; a fourth to Von Steuben who proffered bia services to congress and became instructor general of tbe Con-tinental army; the fifth a huge bronze casting affair, a aid to be tbe first successfully made in America, to Andrew Jackson. .

The subsequent tangle enabled Thomp-son tn shoot the second deer, his sea-son's limit , t Ancient Property Laws Protected the Weaker the law provided that a husband could not sell or mortgage his wife's prop-erty, nor could a son dispose of his mother's property. If a mother dies, says this ancient statute on property, and leaves children, the father has power over her property, but be can-not sell tt or mortgage It unless the children consent when they come of age. Moreover, If the father marries another woman after the flrst wife's death, the children of the flrst wife shall bave power over their mother's property, renames are provided for tbe violation of any of these pro-visions. I Tbe oldest Greek statate now ex-tant, governing the disposition of "real" property, cdmes from the Is-land of Crete. This Is the law of tbe city of Oortyna. dating from perhaps a G 400. This Inscription, the larg-est existing fragment of any Greek law, came to light lesa than fifty years ago; for the stones on which It was chiseled had been burled for 2.000 years or more and Its discovery made a sensation in the learned world. It was about thirty feet long tn Its orig-inal form ; the broken pieces are now scattered In several museums. These laws show that more than 2,000 years ago women In this Creteao city could own property.
