"It's risky to be too sure about anything," Mary reminded her. haven't bought a new dress since you were married-that's two years ago. Men like variety, and that means clothes." Laura dropped her sewing and went to her bedroom, to return with a green lace dress over her arm.

When she held it up for inspection, Mary laughed. "'That's what I mean, dear. I know that dress and so does everybody, else, and that includes worn it to every party for two summers. I'll bet Stan groans when he sees it "I'l bet he doesn't!" But Laura's laugh was shaky. "I'm going to remodel it over taffeta with a big orange figure in it and use an orange and green "What are you wearing to the club Saturday night?" Mary demanded.

"That green lace again?" Laura nodded. "Don't do it! Let's go shopping tomorrow. You'll have to let me come along. I don't trust you You might down." Next evening a new dress hung in the back of Laura's closet under a bright chintz cover. At dinner she was uncertain whether to mention it to Stan, but the little numb aches in her heart made her want to get a hint from him.

Had she waited too long? She served the dessert-and announced: "Big newsl Your wife has an absolutely new dress for Saturday night." Stan looked up, but as if he had not heard. "I said, I have a new dress for Saturday," Laura repeated sharply. Stan came to earth. "Swell," he said. "But if she went in her pink gingham she'd still be the prettiest girl in the place." "Stan Rogers, I haven't any pink gingham!" He caught the hurt alarm in her voice and came around and kissed her.

"That's for the pudding," he said, "and this is for the dress. Tell us about it." Saturday night when Stan telephoned that he'd be late she was half relieved. The lovely dress would burst upon him with full effect. She drove over to the club alone, parked the small coupe, then gathering up the luscious flounces she crossed to the veranda where she intended to wait for Stan. For an instant she paused in the door to look at the -and gasped, Opposite, talking with a group of hypnotized stags, was the most beautiful girl she'd ever seen wearing the duplicate of her new dress.

The rich apricot tones of the silk flushed the girl's creamy skin, brought out the copper in her hair, deepened the brown in her eyes. With a swish of taffeta Laura fled. She mustn't cry, but she had to get away-away from the contrast between her own gentle prettiness and that other woman's beauty. Fifteen minutes later when she climbed the steps of the club again, there was Stan watching for her. Her heart shrank.

To see her come for the fiftieth time in this old green rag! He hurried to her. "I was sorry to be late. The old man kept me to talk about new work and a raise," he said softly. "'That means the house-now." Tears prickled her eyes. "Oh Stan!" she hugged his arm.

Then she flashed a look up at him. "Is that why you've been so so dumb lately?" "If dumber than usual, it might be so. Very heavy thinking." Suddenly he frowned as if trying to recall something, At last with a terrific effort he remembered. "The new dress is a knockout," he declared with enthusiasm. "My dress?" she said, unable to believe her ears.

"Sure, the new dress I wasn't to see until tonight. It's swell!" Laura laughed with almost hysterical relief. "What's the matter?" demanded Stan. "Didn't I say the right thing?" "You said the perfect thing," she assured him. They swung out among the dancers.

"Don't let me she said meditatively after a while. "I must telephone Mary Crampton the first thing in the morning." Police Etiquet in Japan Translated, a notice central police station in Kobe, Japan, read: "At the raise of the hand policeman stop rapidly. Do not pass him or otherwise disrespect him. When a passenger of the foot hove in sight tootle the horn, trumpet at him melodiously at first. But if he still obstacles your passage tootle with vigor and express by word of mouth warning, 'Hi Beware of the wandering horse that he shall not take fright as you pass him by.

Do not explode the exhaust box at him. Give great space to the festive dog that shall sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement of dog with wheel spokes. More and more of it, but perhaps you'd rather walk. How Fiber Rugs Are Restored Life and color can frequently be restored to some kind of faded or soiled fiber rugs with four hour household enamel.

How to Clean Feathers The best way to rid feathers of lice and mites, says a writer in the Montreal Herald, to put them in an oven and subject them to the greatest heat possible without letting them burn. They will catch fire easily, so it will be advisabie to place them in a receptacle raised a couple of inches from the bottom of the oven and it may be necessary to open the door of the oven if the heat cannot be carefully regulated. Heat will dry out or cook th- eggs as well as lice so that they cannot reproduce. Feathers can be dyed; that is, the wing and tail feathers.

Downy feathers would be spoiled by dyeing the same as by washing.
