PLT TO THE TEST.
(Copyright 1920 by W. Werner.)
Jessie Prentice stood before the glass
looking at beraelf. She had done her
. hair a new way and waa wondering
whether it was becoming as she hum-
Ak’ d a musical favorite. When the door-
rang down stairs she started eager-
ly. She was expecting a girl to go with
her to the movies. Entering the sitting
room the words "Hello Grace!” were
on her lip*. Instead of uttering them
she stood staring with a sudden change
of countenance. "Ob mother I” she
said.
Au elderly woman sat on the edge of
a huge leather chair. She was a little
battered forlorn sparrow of a woman
in a worn black cone nnd hat with a
a black scarf twisted round her throat.
Her fare was pale meager wan with
sagging lines and despairing eyes. A
batbag lay upon her lap.
There was a moment in which Mrs..
Prentice seemed to wait for a kiss or
more welcoming wufd. Then she said in
the must humble of voices. “I’ve
brought you a hat dear.”
“Oh. a hat!” Jessie’s face bright-
em d. She wanted a hat. “Let me sec
it” she commanded.
Mr?. Prentice removed her black cot-
ton gloves full of holes thrust her hand ।
into the bag and took forth a small hat ।
of dark blue silk with a little gold col-
ored ornament.
“Oh say!” Jessie snatched at it and
examined it eagerly.
“Do you like it?” Mrs. Prentice
asked.
"Ever so much. Is the silk new?”
“No. Mrs. Graves gave it to me—”
“Mother!” Jessie’s pleasure iu the
J^w hat vanished. "I wish you
^^ouldn't go about asking people for
f things.”
“But that’s the only way I can get
things for you dear” Mrs. Prentice
* said. "Ami when I’ve fixed them up
like that they’re never recognized. If
you’d ever seen that silk! It was all
soiled and creased. 1 had quite a job
with it but it looks nice doesn't
it?”
“Yes.” Jessie spoke grudgingly. "But
1 bet the silk wns out of that
old blue skirt of Mrs. Graves*. Oh
dear I wish you wasn’t such a beg-
gar.”
The woman's tired face bleached to an
appalling whiteness. She swallowed
hard and her small shape trembled ami
she rose to her feet. At that moment
the doorbell rang again and Jessie
throwing aside the hat ran to an-
swer it
“Ready?” cried a girl's high voice.
Two girls bad come instead of one. Past
them went a small dark figure with a
white face nt which they stared curi-
ously. Jessie did not speak. She was
highly flushed as she shut her mother
out into the dark and cold but it was
only with annoyance.
In the sitting room Grace Balcolm
picked up the little blue hat. "Why
this is awfully prettyl” she exclaimed.
“Is it your? Jess?”
••Yes.” Jessie set her lips tight.
“Never mind the hat Grace. Come
on. We'il be too late for our favorite
seats if we don’t hurry.”
“Hore” Grace said holding out the
hat. Aren’t you gohig to wear it?”
“I guess I will” Jessie answered
impatiently. She put on the hat. "I’ll
have to sneak to Mrs. Potter.” she mur-
mured.
Mrs. Potter was in the dining mom

back of the sittiug room etanding
among her plants in the hay window
bZ'king out into the street. She could
.only walk a few steps nt a time with
Xerutcb. There was suffering in her
fine face. She turned her hind slowly
as Jessie entered "I am going now
Mr*. Potter” Jessie said.
"Very well. Colne directly home
after the show.” The woman's cool
glance followed the girl up mol down.
•’A new lint eh?” she said. "Did your
mother bring it just now?"
"Yes.”
"It's very pretty. She lias a gift for
doing such things." She appeared ready
to say more but she did not.
Jessie in her new hat was conscious
Hint she looked as well as her two
stylish friends. After the show Jessie
bit with her head full of romance and
pictured beauty. She lmt"d to go home
but Mrs. Potter had com mil tided and
she dare not disobey.
Four years before when Jessie and
her mother came from the south in
search of better times Mrs. Potter had
taken the girl into her home. She did
it for two reasons —because she wished
to help the sad little middle-aged mother
who had found life such a bard joyless
fatiguing thing and becatise she had
taken a strong fancy to Jessie herself.
The Potters had sonic money nud lived
in a comfortable old-fashioned way. Jes-
sie had only light tasks. In return she
wns given a nice home good food aud
uplifting associations. Hut she was

not clothed beyond a few essentials.!
Her mother hud to we to that.
Mrs. Prentice had very little money.
She had been trained to no labor. She
had married while extremely young a
man who had come of a good south-*
eru family. Jessie waa the last of many
children and the only one wno had lived.
Her father had died leaving them very
puur. For years Mrs. Prentice hud
gone from pillar to post us she ex-
pressed dt nud us a last venture had
come north. Shi* bad a’few rooms where
she lived with great self-denial fur
every penny she could save from her
own exxtennes went to Jessie. People
were good to her and gave her many
things which she had the cleverness to
reconstruct gracefully. So Jessie was
always prettily dressed and as she was
attractive she went with girls in a bet-
ter station of life than her own.
Her home and her companions caused
her to be ashamed of her mother. She
hud no idea of making any return for
the favors she received. More and mure
she accepted things as her actual
right.
She left the girls nt the Potters’
gate nnd went into the house alone.
Without removing her things she hiuited
up Mrs. Potter whom she found still
in the bay window sitting now with her
crutch beside her.
Mrs. Potter sat looking as Jessie lifted
her hands to remove the little blue hat.
"Don’t do that” she said. "Mrs. Ball
in whose house your mother lives tele-
phoned me a few moments ago. She

Leoking at Herself.
says your mother has been taken sud-
denly ill. She doesn’t want you but
Mrs. Ball thinks you'd better go. I
think the same.
Jesssie's hands fell to her aides.
"Mother ill I” she exclaimed. "Why
she was all right when she was here!
What cun be the matter?’’
“I don't know. 1 only know that
she needs you and that your place is
there. I've been thinking fur some time
that your place was there. Four years
ago you were a child but you are not a
child dow. You are old enough to be
facing life on yuur own responsibility
—to be doing something for your mother
—if you an* ever going to. The time
seems to have arrived when you must do
sumethiug for her.”
Mrs. Putter spoke forcibly. Under
the words and their implication the light
that the evening had brought to Jessie's
face faded. She clung to a chair look-
ing down.
"You understand me dou’t you Jet-
sic?” Mrs. Putter said. "1 want >uu to
go at unci? —tonight—now—to your
mother and to stay with her und cure
for her —if necessary work for her to
procure comforts for her. You are well
equipped for life. You need uut be
utruul of anything you may have to
face.”
Jessie lifted her face. Her eyes were
hard and light. "I see” she said tartly.
"You are tired of me. You want to get
iid of me. Why didn’t you* tell me be-
fore?” She turned to leave the
room.
But Mrs. Potter’s voice arrested her.
There was singular puwer in that quiet
voice. "Stop!” she said. "1 uni going
t<> say sumeuiiDg I didn't intend to say
when 1 began though 1 ve lung thought
it. You are growing selfish and cruel.
Yuu do not treat your mother kindly
and she is your best friend. I am only
your friend as long as you pieuse me.
You don't please me now. And so I tell
sou to gu.”
Jessie felt that she was turned uut.
She rushed up to her room flung sonic
things together and left the house.
She di<l not even say goud-bye to Mrs.
Potter.
Her mother was sitting beside a
little coal fire. She looked up piteous-
ly as Jessie entered. "Oh 1 didn't
want you to conn* dear” she said
hoarsely. “I didn't want to bother you.
I've hail some medicine and I’ll be all
light now. It’s only one of those spells
with my Dealt.”
Jessie’s chin quivered. "I've come tu
stay mother.” she said. "Mrs. Potter
ha? turned me away. I've no one but
you.” And she knelt down und hid her
fare iu her mother’s knees.
It wus u very different life that Jes-
sie led iu those three rooms from the
one she had led at the Potters. For the
first time she felt the pinch of poverty
and tile woe of being neglected fur the
girls dropped off us mhhi as they found
she had gone home to her mother.
Mrs. Prentice's daughter was quite
another thing from Mrs. Potter's pro-
tege.
It was u bitter experience but it
welded her to her mother for her mother
understood. She began also to un-
derstand her mother. They stood alone
together; they must rely upon each
other.
After a time Jessie began tu realize
that they could not both live on $3 a
week and thut she must euru some-
thing. She had studied shorthand and
typewriting without much idea of put-
ting it to any use and so found her
preparation all too inadequate for tak-
ing a job. Still she got one und truined
herself tu keep it by practicing from her
mother's dictation at night. She did su
well that tin* fiim raided her pay so
that she was able to move into pleas-
anter rooms and buy many comforts
for her mother. Mrs. Prentice’s health
was improving wonderfully ; she began
to look almost happy.
One uigli when Jessie came home
from work she found her mother ad-
miring u beautiful potted plant. "Mrs.
Potter brought it” she explained. "She
came in her wheeled chair. She said
now thut we hud downstairs rooms she
could come very easily. She is a blessed
woman. Jessie and I believe next to me
the best friend you will ever need to
have.”
Jessie could not believe it then but
uk time passed and sho came to euru u
really comfortable salary und to be u
reul daughter to her mother she grew to
understand Mrs. Potter's method with
her by its result.
"When she turued me away that
night she put me to the test” she told
her mother. “She sent me to you. und
mo proved the wisdom of her fricud-
ship.”

would Lave been aotoniohed. Also bad
she known that it was the cause of his

thought ut some way to get hold of her

During dinner Kane Vundcrwuter ex-

that of the one abused the one who
hud suffered and she the cause. As al-
ways it affected Elaine. Before they

ten her uwu anxious night in pity fur
him. He had told her be hud walked

"Don’t talk of such things Kane. It

"But 1 can’t. Mr. Gregg absolutely

"Theie are ways. We must find

"Say nothing for a few days. Go

। S'luirrel was darting up a hickory tree
with a mouth full of leaves. "There’s
going to be a Terrrible Storm.” called
Nibble cheerfully "the Mallards just
told ine about it.”
"Who doesn't know (hat?” snapped
Chatter fussing with a clutter of leaves
mid twigs in the crotch of his hickory.
"My home's not half done. I thought
I'd take my time and make a good one.
! Now here comes this Storm! If I enu’t

' Yah!” And he swore in Squirrel Inugu-
■ age becuuse one of the sticks he was
! using ha<l snapped and he had to go
for uimthbr one.
"The Ducks say you mustn’t lose your
temper because something always hap-
pens.” quoted Nibble. And he didn't
mean tn be impertinent. Hr was just
pleased with himself for remembering
it.
’ It'll happen to you. then.” Chatter
retorted in a rage. “You and yonr

tniml my business for me until Silvertip
catches you.” But there's no way of
knowing how much angrier Chatter
might have been because right then
something <lid happen. He gave one
-hriek —“Hooter!” —and made a fly-

Mis Hooter dapped her beak nt the
"Stickly Prickle*!” said Nibble to
himself —that really isn’t swearing.
‘What me those owls doing out this
time of the day?” For he could see
Hooter flapping sleepily along behind
his mate. It was too early in the after-
noon for him. It was a badly frightened
rabbit who made the best of his chance
while they were chasing Chatter to dart
across the Clovcrpatch and into the first
shock ho came to.
But ho didn’t stay there. Just as he
began to breathe again he heard the
voice of Mrs. Hooter right above him.
She was speaking crossly to her hus-
band. "Pay attention.” she* said. “It
may he three days before wo can hunt
again. He went in there. I saw him.”
Nibble guessed that a small brown
rabbit was the “he” they wantc<|. w
ho slipped out of the other side of that
shock and ran across to the next.
“There he goes!" acrooched Mrs.
Hooter. "Thore he goes! Catch him.
<|iiick!” But Hooter was too slow.
Nibble was safe again.
But was he? For in that second
shock slept—Silvertip the Fox!
Silvertip was curled up in a ball with
his tail about his feet fast asleep. Of
course ho woke up the minute he hoard
the Hooters and pricked up his ears.
Whatever were they shouting about?
Iu all that noise ho never heard the
soft sound of Nibble’s breathing right
behind him. He never sniffed anything
but Owl. For they were very close.
“Go in and drive him out!” ordered
Mrs. Hooter.
"I—er—l've never done anything of
the kind” Hooter objected. “I don’t
think I care to begin.
"Coward!” hissed Mrs. Hooters. And
sho flew into a terrible temper. She
shook him until his beak rattled. Then
sho bounced him down. "You see to it
that you catch him when he comes
out!" sho raved. “I’ll go myself!”
And she did. Right into Silvertip!
And let me toll you that for one min-
ute feathers flow nnd fur frazzled. Then

“What’s in a Name?”
I RSI LA.
The ancient Romans were apparently
fond of wolves and boars; at least many
of the masculine and feminine names
originating from them wore derived
from their terms for animals. One of
these is Ursula which comes from the
Roman L'rsus moaning bear.
Ursus as a proper name was pop-
ular in early times among semi-Romans
and Gallic bishops. But it was per-
haps some allusion to the Pole star
which made Ursula (little bear) furnish
the name of the heroine of the curious
legend of Cologne that the Breton
maiden who. on her way to her be-
trothed British husband was ship-
wrecked on the German const and slain
by Attila king of the Huns w ith 11009
virgin companions. The skulls of the
maidens are shown at Cologne and their
princess’ name has been followed by
noble Indies.
The Irish word Mahon nlso signifies
hear an<l hence some of the MacMahons
of Ireland have turned themselves into
Fitz I'rsulas. The popularity of the
name has spread into nil the countries
of Europe nnd has been copied to some
degree in America though most of our
I'rsulas nre of foreign extno tion. The
English have two other chnrming forms
besides Vrsula: they are Ursel and ;
I’rsley. France favors I’rsulc and many '
a roligiousc has borne the name of Si
ter Ursule. Spain adopted the form
of Frsola while Portugal accepts the
English version of I rsula. Italy fol-
lows Spain with I’rsohi. The unmis-
takable Teutonic interpretation is Uriel
or Vrschcl. Urssala comes to us from
the Russin nnd tin* Dutch have a pe-
culiarly tnusicnl Orseline.

This beautiful amber stone is said to
shine like the sun in the dark mines
where it is found und the ancients be-
lieve that certain rays of the sun are
imprisoned in the stone. For that rea-
son it has the beneficial effects of sun-
light ou its wearer nnd dispels evils nnd

rors of the night. But it must be set

for the development of negligees just
now and some really charming things
are being brought out. Oue model re-
» ently seen was of bla<-k crepe de chine
the accordion-pleated skirt being topped
by a coat that was square and straight
and on Chinese lines and richly decor-
ated with appliqued designs and em-
broidered bands. A negligee of black
Georgette was made over a lining of
yellow satin and trimmed with yellow
and black ostrich feather rosettes.
Chinese suggestions are worked out
effectively in many of the newest neg-
ligee garments. Une model recently dis-
played appeared to be an exact replica
of the costume of a Chinese lady. It
consisted of a pleated skirt and loose
fitting jacket of black satin the latter
embroidered in dull blues and greens.
Some exceptionally lovely negligees
show harem skirts of plain satin and
straight ovcrblouses of self-fabric veiled
in chiffon or Georgette in contrasting
color.
The general tendency appears to bo
to make all these garments simple so
far as actual style line is concerned
and give them distinction by the color
scheme and decorative features.
