Malleson wish you to give up social-
isni—at least your active interest in
it—now that he is at hand to mono-
polize your attention? To judge from
all I have heard of his five years of
dictatorship in Romario—and I have
heard quite a lot from various sources
—I imagine that he can't possibly be
in agreement with us, even in the
mere matter of fundamental demo-
cratic principles."
"Mr. Malleson has always under-
stood that I am a Socialist, and knows
what to expect," she answered with
a smile.
The greetings between SIoane and
Mrs. Falloden and the tennis votaries
were scarcely over when the maid
brought the tea, and with the tea
came John Malleson, erstwhile dic-
tator -president of the Republic of
Romario. He was of. middle height and
carried himself with the easy dignity
of the diplomat rather than with the
brusque smartness of the soldier, for,
in spite of his military victories, which
had given him the reputation the
world over of a miniature Napoleon,
he was more statesman than general,
and—as unmistakably he looked in his
neat riding breeches and khaki shirt,
open at the neck—more prince of men
than either. His face was bronzed,
the face of Caesar, but with a small
brown mustache above the chiseled,
laconic lips. His gray eyes were un-
fathomably distinctive of the master-
ful genius that burned within him.
"This is my friend, Mr. Sloane,
John," announced Joyce.
"Pleased to meet you, often heard
of you," said Malleson pleasantly, as
the two men shook hands.
During the first amenities of tea-
time the conversation was general and
parochial, and neither Malleson nor
Sloane acquitted himself with more
than average banality. It was obvious
that the Mannering twins, two girls,
and the two sons and the daughter of
old man Heuling were in a great tak-
ing at the presence of the man whose
name had been for the last few years
so much in the world's eye and on the
world's lips, whose sudden career as
dictator of a South American repub-
lic had seemed like some breathless
chapter out of a glorious romance. Of
course they had met him before, when
he was a nobody, merely the son of an
old family friend . of the Fallodens.
But now !natters were different„ and

• Malleson had gone to Romario on
business; for his father, had entered
that country during one of its dis-
tressful and periodical revolutions, a,
revolution that for once had succeed-
ed, in so far as anarchy and a. too in-
discriminate brotherhood of man may
be called success, had exerted himself
primarily in the protection of the.
small colony of Americans and Euro-
peans from massacre, and, in so doing,
had discovered in himself the innate
capacity for leading men.
It was a small step from that to
-obtaining the confidence of the law-
abiding citizens of the capital,, and a I
still smaller one to blooming, by the.'

Romarian territory. She was severely
punished, For the first time in history
the Romarians defeated the Tarra-
gonians.
Malleson returning from his cam-
paigns in triumph had devoted hint-
ee1f enthusiastically to the internal
welfare of the country that was now
completely his. In this task' he suc-
ceeded admirably, and when his term
of office was over and he returned to
the States, he left Romario immeasur-
ably greater and ,incredibly happier
than he had found her. To the Rom-
arians he had become a hero, a savior,
almost a fable, the establisher of a
new prosperity, of a new earth if not
quite of a new heaven. They called
him, half in awe and half in affection,
"El Establecedor." Malleson the
Establisher."

on his knee his teacup, with a large

Suddenly from the house came Mal-

"Yes, Hayward?"
"A telegraph for your Excellency,"
announced that functionary.
He handed it to his master who,
with an apology to Mrs. Falloden,
opened and read it.
"Thanks, Hayward. There's no
answer/'
His man bowed respectfully and re-
tired. He liked these little ceremonies
and performed them with a genial
flourish, much to the amused tolerance
of the shrewd gentleman he served.
"May I have another cup of tea?"
asked John innocently.
Mrs. Falloden, talking to one of
the twins, did not hear the request.
"Mother," said Joyce, "His Excel-
lency desires another cup of tea."
Her voice vibrated with obvious
italics; the scorn was unmistakable
and unmistaken.
"My dear!" mildly expostulated
Mrs, Falloden. "Certainly, John.
Pass me your cup."

T}IE OLD-FASHIONED PARLOR.
Of late years we country house-
wives have been rather priding our-
selves upon getting farther and far-
ther away from old-fashioned notions.
Any new idea has been accepted as
an improvement.
But were all the old-fashioned no-
tions without virtue? There is the
time-honored parlor. What unnum-
bered jokes have been dedicated to its
memory. And how progressive we
felt ourselves to be while we snatched
open the blinds, flung up the curtains,
and brought in the workbasket, the
children's toys and father's cata-
logues. "Now," we said, "it is a liv-
ing room. It looks lived-in."
Alas, it does! Particularly if there
are children in the family, and if
mother is adding to her household du-
ties those innumerable ones that most
farm women assume—sewing, can-
ning, gardening, chicken and turkey
raising and what not. When a car-
load of acquaintances honks up to our
door near the end of a trying • sum-
mer week, what housewife hasn't
thought with longing of the old-
fashioned, dark, cool, orderly parlor
which she has progressively trans-
formed into a lived-in room.
Ideas in decoration change. We
needn't have wax flowers and pampas
grass in a best parlor to -day. But
who hasn't longed for a half-hour rest
in this dim, cool, quiet room on a
bustling, blistering summer after-
noon? Who hasn't longed for its free-
dom from dust and disorder, flies and
shabbiness, when callers arrived in
the busy season?
Grandmother was a busy woman
with a big family. She knew what
she was about when she instituted
.the best parlor. The children kept
out because it was uninteresting and
more or less unsafe. Flies kept out
because it was dark and sacredly
clean. -Dust and heat kept out be-
cause it was closed against them.
What a haven of quiet and rest and
preparedness!
It is all very well to talk about
ideals and methods and modern labor
savers, but what busy, ambitious farm
woman has sufficient time and
strength to keep an,ideal home during
the rush season? If my experience
and observations are correst, it simply

POLISHING MOPS.
The writer knows of a near -fire
which resulted from stowing a polish-
ing mop in a closet. This was an
ordinary floor mop, oiled with a mix-
ture of turpentine, linseed oil and wax.
Two days after this was stored, open-
ing of the closet revealed the mop
handle standing, with the rag portion
burned to ashes and the floor under
this burned through to the sub -
flooring. A test was made with a rag
saturated in the linseed oil mixture
and this placed a safe distance
from the building in a metal can.
When this was reduced to ashes in
a similar manner this concluded the
evidence that oil -soaked rags are
mighty dangerous leads to fire.
Though simple and harmless- ap-
pearing materials may be used for.
polishing floors and furniture, keep
these in metal containers, and if pos-
sible on some tile or concrete floor, to
avoid risk. A wooden box is a very
unsafe method.
