Her holiday had done her a world of good. On the morning of the fourteenth day she came round to see me in a state of immense excitement. Her spirits were rather dashed whenI told her that Bellamy would not be back ti - tea time. It .vould take some time to snake him presentable. He was not the extraordinary looking creature he had been; but he still looked odd. The hair on his head was not more than a sixteenth of an inch longer than the hair on his chin; and that was lot any length to speak of. She went away to shop to keep herself quiet. I drove round to their flat and got a suit of his clothes and underlinen and his motor. ear. Then I chose a -black wig at Clarkson's and ordered it to be sent round to hie flat. I got to Bostocks fairly early. Bel- lamy had no. notion that his sentence expired that day. He had the - idea that it ran for another three months. I set Mrs. Whitcomb to make coffee and fry eggs and bacon. Then I went up to Bellamy. T was in great spir- its.

There are innumerable ways, but what is new in one locality may be old in another. Here is a very pretty way: Write invitations on colored paper cut the shape of butterflies,. some of them apparently alighting on the corner of a picture, or .hovering over a bowl of flowers. Others should be suspended by means of fine sewing silk over the flowers which you use for your centrepiece. Place -cards may be decorated with - butterflies done in water -color and favors might consist of paper baskets,' filled with candy, a butterfly perched on the handle. Doilies can be cut in butterfly shape, out of crepe paper, and you could serve a dainty luncheon, with a butterfly salad to carry out the idea. Make the salad of pineapple, cutting each slice in half; and laying the curved edges together on lettuce leaves. The body and antennae are made of red or green sweet peppers, the "wings" can be decorated with maraschino cherries. Serve the salad dressing in a bowl, so that the "but- terfly" may be served with nothing to detract from its beauty. If you can arrange to have hot rolls, they also would make the "butter.fly." The gifts should be wrapped in white paper, tied with'narrow ribbons of various colors, with one long end left in tying the bows. Attath a paper butterfly to this end, then conceal the packages, hiding them behind pictures, in vases, under sofa cushions and similar places, leaving only the but- terfly to show. The luncheon being finished, some one might play a selec- tion from "Madame Butterfly" while the bride is instructed to collect all the butterflies she can. find. The hunt and the opening of the packages will provide entertainment for the rest of the afternoon, If you want something humorous, use this scheme: Invite the bride-to-be and her friends to luncheon or supper, seat all at the table, having previous- ly placed the gifts in a basket which is placed under the table in front of, the place occupied by the guest of honor. With ' the gifts, place an . alarm clock, set tri go off whilethe meal is in progress. The 'consterna- tion caused by the sodden "going off" i of the alarm will create great merri- ment and the investigation which fol- lows reveals the collection of gifts.

One day when she was talking to the family' doctor she asked him just what her trouble was, Ile looked at lie, keenly :for a moment. Them he replied, "Your batteries • need re- newing!" She looked up with a start, but he continued, evenly: "That vacation you were going to take late in the fall must come right now You are not in any special danger yet, but by late fall you will be. If you want to be on the safe side you had better renew those batteries right away. And don't forget that you have two -cell batter- ies. . You have a physical and a spir- itual store of cells' that need renew- ing. Neither set will do without the other. The Sabbath, instead of being for you a day of rest, has always been your busiest day, and I know that you have had little time. for meditation and spiritual Culture. It is the soul that feeds the body, and the soul may starve and wear out just as the body may. Nothing has gone wrong with your body or soul but what can be cured. Your body needs rest, and your soul needs to feed in the green pastures and to lie by the still waters with the Good Shepherd. Try it and you will come back as good as new." HOUSEHOLD HELPS.
