fiwenda started to ner
foot urilrilv 99 lier train milled Into the
station. New York, and she almost nap
ping! With frantic ' haste she reached up
for her suitcase, then grabbed her coat
from the back of her seat, preparatory
to following the crowd. A minute more
and she was standing on the platform
looking about for someone that might
possibly be Fern Ellison. i
"I know this is Gwenda,' said a soft
voice at her elbow, and she turned .to
look into the laughing blue eyes of a
very pretty girl.
"Yes, this is me, and you, why you
must be Fern," she said with a happy
laugh. "I am so glad to meet you,
Cousin Fern, and I'm kind of forlorn
and frightened and everything, and I
do hope we shall be good friends." Here
a tear splashed down on Gwenda's new
glove and Fern put her arms around
her new cousin and kissed her hearti
ly. "Come along. Let's find a taxi and
get up to the studio, fast as ever we
can, you're all tired out, my dear, and
hungry, and maybe a bit homesick.
Oh. I know all about it." ?
Together they made their way out to
the treet and hailed a taxi and before
she could open her mouth, so it seemed
to Gwenda, still bewildered from her
long trip, they were up in Fern's studio,
cosily esconsed, she on a long divan and
Fern in a most marvelously deep arm
chair, with the teapot steaming away
under their noses.
After the first breathless greeting and
entrance, she settled herself back
among the cushions just to .let herself
"feel" that she was really here at last
and in this particular corner of Para
dise. "It's most too wonderful to be true,
that I am really here at last," she said
with a happy sight. "And this place
of yours is too beautiful for words,
Fern. I never realized that there were
such places to live in in the world."
"Oh. yes, we live in such places nowa
days, "thank goodness," said her cousin
with a laugh. "I can imagine what the
farm is like, big and cold and full of
well, duties, mostly, eh, Cousin Gwen
da?" "Yes, mostly," answered Gwenda, "we
don't go in for anything like this. Why,
mother would think that I was on the
road to perdition if she could see me
"They WORK
while you 6leep"
f(w)
Do you feel bilious,' constipated4, head
achy, upset, full of cold, Take one or
two Cascarets tonight for your liver and
bowels. Wake up with head - clear,
stomach right, breath sweet and feeling
f.ne. No griping, no inconvenience. Cnil
dren lova Cascarets, too. 10, 25, 50
cents.
a
now. with my feet up on. cnmsun tuu
this vpilow lamp at my
head, and no work jn my hands what
soever!" '
Here the two girls broke into peals of
laughter.
"Poke your . nose about as much as
you like, Gwenda," said Fern. "Take a
look at your very own bedroom and see
what you think of it." and she drew her
cousin along after her to inspect her
new sleeping quarters. ;
Gwenda gave a gasp' of delight as she
stood in the room and took in every de
tail, from warm, soft rugs to the marvel
of a low device done in old blue and
gold that Fern assured her was a bed,
but a new sort of a bed. There were
piles of harmonious colored cushions
heaped up on it, and a small, low table,
generously laden with books in wonder
ful leather covers, at the side. Gwenda
felt confused at the very thought that
she, plain Gwenda Channing, was ac
tually to sleep in such a bed every night
and for ever and ever so long. ;
There were a few good prints on the
wall, and one or two daring paintings,
evidently done by Fern, herself, wmcn
Gwenda admired extremely without m
the least understanding why. In every
way it was a dream-room, made to
make happy the heart of a girl.;
Gwenda hugged herself to think tnat
she was to be part of all this gorgeous-
The girls made a tour of inspection,
ending with a visit to Fern's studio.
Here Gwenda saw an amazing array of
paintings, in all stages of completion,
arid was more than ever impressed with
the idea of her cousin's cleverness.
"Some of those things are just
'faddy " explained Fern with a laugh,
"but we are all more or less 'faddy,
down here in Greenwich Village, as you
will soon find out, Gwenda, my child,
But we are idealists, too, in our way,
and we dare to do the things that half
the world still only thinks about.
"I love it all, I love it all,' said Gwen
da, "and, oh, the sunset," she cried as
she ran to the window and caught a
glimpse of the twilight sky bending
amorously over Washington Square and
its park. "It's more beautiful than any
thing in the world."
"Yes it's nretty nice from this win
dow," said Fern, '.'but come and rest
again or you'll be too tired for any
mortal use this evening1 and some or
my friends are going to drop in to meet
you." - a

OFFICIMTtEA PARTY

New York, Feb. 11. Uncle Sam's

hotels and Broadway's daintiest tea
rooms each afternoon, seven sturuy
ftnnir rf nparlv a thousand cups
of tea in the workaday environment
of a government warehouse.
Scores of samples were offered these
rnnnoisseurs. They sniffed,
sipped, tasted and then used a gigantic

Francisco, Tacoma, Chicago and St.
Paul. ,. V ,
Each year they choose eight mini
mum . standards, and - no tea below
the fixed quality, purity or fitness for
consumption may be imported.
Tea, they exclaimed between tastes,
is the superb stimulant. It keys up

and Peary drank it exclusively in his
final das,h for the pole. Furthermore',

In the old days of thed: raft an ex

"Any previous military experience?"
"Lord, yes, boss," replied Sambo
"Ise an old-timer. Ise been shot at

"Arriving at Victoria station the

of the London 3orning. Post,. "I gave

In the sere and yellow leaf of his
career, Mr. Moneybags began to think
about the future, and one day he visited
the clerk of the local cemetery . in the
hope of striking a bargain. To his dis
may, the clerk named a price which
the old miser considered out of all urn-
portions to the value of the small plot
he was after.
"Absurd! Ridiculous," fumed Mr.
Moneybags. "Can't you reduce it?"
"It's the usual fee," replied the clerk
politely.
"WellI'll not pay it!" exclaimed Mr.
Moneybags. "The risk is too great."
"What, risk?" asked the clerk.
"What risk?" reported Mr. Money
bags. "Why the risk of losing it all!
I may died at sea!"

WEALTH depends quite as much on conservation as
on production. TIMELY use of paint and varnish in
.1921 will prevent enormous waste of property due to
deterioration. To postpone painting is false economy. It
costs more not to paint than to paint. Save the surface
and you save all. Every time you save a surface you help
reduce the cost of living.
