They all loved It and sat In It when they could, but Joan Worth was the one who loved It best, who worked In It, and dreamed * * ? ?? U over It, always seeing oeauiy u> ? at any season of the year. "Joan's children have gone to bed under a white blanket," smiled Mrs. Worth when the first snow came. The others looked out, seeing the arbor a great hump of snow, and garden benches misshapen oblonra. Every bush and vine wore a bridal veil of white, or sparkled with Icy diamond drops. The sun shone wanly. "Well, Joan, my dear," said Nan briskly, "what has your garden to offer today? A bouquet of Icicles?" Joan looked out of the window? "I believe I can get a winter bouquet ?there are some dried clematis seeds and downy fluff, the barberry bushes are full and red." "Is there any romance in your garden of dreams?" asked Nan gently. Joan's thin face flushed and her eyes were very soft. "I am sure It must flower there, Vnn * Vaii i-amamhflr VTOT1T S9?f?nhen i^au i a v/u vuivuiwvi ^ w used to sit there with you?" she smiled as Nan looked down at her engagement ring. "That Is true," said Nan softly. "Stephen always said the garden had a great deal to do with his courtship I But, my dear girl, I am not talking about us; I am speaking about a romance for you In your garden 1 Are you sure there Is not a root somewhere T" Joan laughed. "There's love In a mist?and love lies bleeding,' and bride roses," she said mischievously. Nan looked up shrewdly. "Those Sowers are all asleep?like you, Joan Worth I" she declared, and stopped I teasing Joan. She felt sorry for her younger sister who was so timid and retiring that only a very bold and persistent lover could win her love. "And where Is such a man?" Nan asked herself?"Stephen was the last eligible inun In Little River?" And then she thought, of Stephen's cousin, Mark Raymond?she had only met him once but he was a large, blond young man with an aggressive nose and chin and persistent blue eyes. "I must ask Stephen to bring hlra over tbe next time Mark comes to Little River," she thought, and planned some pretty * frocks for the unsuspecting Joan. The afternoon that Stephen brought SJarl^ Raymond was a Saturday halfholiday. Nan had persuaded Joan to weur a vivid orange flannel frock j which made the girl look like some brllllant-plumaged bird. Donning an uld russet cloak, she prowled around the garden, seeing It sometimes as It would be when the flrst buds pushed j through. She was plnnnlng the garden for another summer, when a quiet voice I spoke. "Any room for weeds In your . garden. Miss Joan?" She turned quickly to meet the admiring eyes of Mark Raymond?she had not seen him for I . - . ..I several years?sne naa t>een a sman | girl then at her first grown up dance, and Mark had taken pity on her mortification at being a wallflower, and i had given her the most delightful I evening of her quiet life. She was | glad to see him. "There is always room for friendly weeds, Mr. Raymond," she said. "I will have to explain?right along here Is the place where my dahlla9 stand, all In a row like soldiers, and 1 as I raised them all myself for several years, I have named the different varieties after the twelve disciples? see the stakes with the labels?" Mark went down the row, glancing at the labels?he read them aloud, "Matthew, Mark, Luke, John?" and so on. "So I am not a weed after all," Bald Mark Raymond. "I am a nice dahlia in a lady's garden!" "You are named for a saint," said Joan primly. "Of course, I am only a humble namesake," he said meekly, his blue , eyes never leaving her vivid face, j wondertng why he hnd ever called j this child pjpln 1 "Seems only last week that you and I had our fhmous evening at the charity ball," he went on. "It Is ten years ago," Joan said, and when he did not answer she looked up to find him regarding her with the queerest expression?mingled admiration, wonder, amazement, as If he had Just discovered a great treasure. Perhaps he bad?for Joan was twenty-two, and the sweetest girl he had ever seen. What bad he been doing all those years while she was growing up? Perhaps she was en- j gaged, as well as Nan! He must find out. His aggressive chin was not there for nothing at all I "So It Is yon that are engaged to old Steve," ha murmured mendaciously. "Mercy no," aald Joan briskly. "It Is Nan?and we must go In now and have some tea." They came up the garden path together, talking, and Nan, waiting for them, turned away from the window, while Stephen stirred the Are. "How about It?" asked Stephen, grinning. "It will be all right?I saw his [ eyes?we will have a double wedding. I Steve!"

'The day Is at hand for school authorities to extend the same opportunity to children who desire to take up music as a life work. "1 "Music Is a healthful Influence Parents are learning that the band is better than the 'gang' for their youngsters. "Music Is a mental stlmulunt. A survey recently conducted in the schools of a mid-western city revealed that children who had studied music j averaged considerably higher In all lines of school activities." Nineteen Miles an Hour Is Most Dangerous Speed When the automobile speedometer hovers around 19 miles an hour, It is the most hazardous pace at which a motorist can travel, In the opinion of John N. Mackall, chairman of the Maryland state roads commission, who asserts that 95 per cent of all trafflo accidents occur while cars are proceeding at thla speed. He said: "Ninety-five per cent of the automobile accidents occur as a result of a speed of 19 miles an hour, as statistics show on the sworn testimony of those who figured In the accidents. t "I am not Interested In speculations as to the moet comfortable rate of speed when a crash occurs. What I am Interested In Is to avoid the crash by reflation of traffic at a uniform and reasonably rapid rate of speed. I cannot say definitely what Is the most | desirable minimum. That must be de- i elded by tests. "It is certain, however, that a rate j of 28 or SO miles an hour would tend to eliminate the Jockeying for position j In line which results when one auto- , mobile creeps along at 15 or 20 miles an hour In front of other machines which want to get somewhere. "With a rate of speed sufficiently rapid to obviate the necessity of one machine getting out of line to pass another, the greatest cause of automo- i bile accidents would be removed." To Spend Half Billion on 1926 Music Lessons Elkhart, Ind.?Half a billion dollars will be spent by Americana for music laasons between now and next June, It Is estimated by the Conn Music Center. The estimate Is based on a statistical study by J. P. Blake of St Louis. According to Mr, Blake, there are 266,000 teachers of music who regularly practice their profession In the United States. These teachers average 20 pupils each. Allowing an average of two lessons a week for each student for the 25 weeks between n . and iune, means a total of 250,000,000 nraslc-lesson hours, which at the average fee of $2 per hoar, brings the Income of the masic teachers up to moo0,00a .f . mobile Acciaenu. . Fatigue plays a far more Important part In causing automobile accidents than Is generally recognized. A motor truck owner was driving to a distant city at night to be there for a load early In the morning. He had been working hard all day and was fatigued. At a grade crossing he came Into collision with a train and was killed. It Is quite likely this mun went to sleep at the wheel. In any case he was ordinarily a careful and cautious driver. He knew the road well. He was familiar with the crossing. There Is every Indication that the accident was due solely to fatigue. A party of tourists started out to make a long motor trip. In order to make It In the shortest possible time they decided to keep going night and day. One would drive while the others Slept, or at least tried to sleep. The Journey ended In a fatal accident be> fore the goal was reached. Needs Recharging. The human system Is a good deal like a storage buttery. When the current In the battery Is low, It falls to turn the starting motor. Even the light may be dim. That battery will not work well again until It la charged. The only way a fatigued man can become alert again Is to have his vitality recharged through complete rest. The Imperfect rest he gets while riding In a car Is not rest enough. He needs good, sound sleep and plenty of it. a vnnne nerson can usually regain " ?? O m his vitality more quickly than one along In middle life of an old person. He sleeps sounder and he responds more quickly to rest. Persons of all ages, however, are subject to fatigue. The only difference between ages Is the rate of recovery. Reactions Slower. At the beginning of a long trip any driver Is far less likely to meet with an accident than he Is as he nears the end of a long, continuous drive. At the start, he Is alert. If there are careless and reckless drivers on the road he Is able to avoid a collision. After 100 or more miles of 'driving he Is far less alert. His reactions are slower. When he gets In a tight place he falls to respond and the chances are greatly against him If an accident Is Imminent. , This means that a person should avoid driving when fatigued, when tired out because of having driven a great distance already or having done work that proved tiring. If he has not had his usual amount of sleep he Is also fatigued and should avoid driving. The distance a person can drive without becoming fatigued will vary with different people. A person who Is driving every day and who Is driving long distances can drive more miles a day without fatigue" than a person who drives only a few days a week and then but short distances. r*ljp Only a proeperoue railroad eon render the traneportation Tie* needed by the people of a proeperoue oountry. -| S o i RAL %eS J, .. !<..
