over a day that was aunlit and pleasant. Long blue shadows and dusky traceries like so much delicate lace, lay along the white of the snow. We recall now, that the crispness that had been about was disappearing, leaving a mildness in its place, which we might not have noted if the jays in the old orchard had not been chattering about it, when we were at our wood-getting, in the de- light of afternoon. Hearing, we fancied the forecast a present ending to the Coverlet, that lies white and only thinly now along -lhe fields.

Beyond our window, is dim and we indeed found a suggestion of an impending thaw in the soft wind of dusk. James looks up as the fire crackles sud- denly in the silence sending a bright cascade of sparks, like a Winsome and miniature display of fireworks, dropping to the hearth. “I'm thinking. Ellen." he says over his glasses, "we sha'n't be doing much more at the wood this week. I believe we're going to get rain!"

Both of us are popular. money for everything he

DEAR MISS DIX: g ber of orders ln which we both hold 051C85- Now here is the trouble: My husband finds r r wants, but none for giving us a decent home. We still ive in the it- tle shack in which we moved when \Ve first came to U115 Plllce- The" is not-n window or door in it‘ that fits nor a modern convenience nor comfort‘ m,- have 1' a whole piece of furniture, I cannot entertain as the other women do and l am ashamed to ask anybody to my house, but when I talk about giving up my offices and break- lng away from the crowd my husband says I am crazy nnd am trying to ruln him. If we could not afford a better home, I would content myself with his, but we can. What can I do? i DOWNHEARTED

ANSWER: Nothing. Unless you have the courage

to go out and rent the kind of house that you know you can afford and buy the kind of furniture you need and also can afford and then tell your husband that. he can come along and live comfortably with you and pay for it, or else you will take in board- ers nnd pay for it yourself. ' I knew a woman who had a husband like yours and she followed this plan, and, after throwing n few fits, the husband went along meek- ly as llifarys little lamb, and was as proud us punch of his new home and the standing it gave him in the community.

HARD TO UNDERSTAND

I can never understand a man not wanting to own his own home and not taking an interest in making it as comfortable and beautiful and attractive as he can. To own your own home is the outward and visible sign of success. It ls a badge of good citizenship rind it brings some of the purest happiness that the human heart ever knows.

And to a woman her home means even more than it does to a man. Its four walls make her world. There her llfe works itself out. It is the scene of her activities. It encompasses her desires and aspira- tions.

It is strange but true that men do not realize how much a wo- man's home means to her, nor do they realize the value that a wo- man sets on her belongings, nor how her happiness is bound up in chairs and rugs and draperies. If they did, they would not be, as they so often are, so nlggardly about buying new furniture.

DEAR MISS DIX: f aniilfhfgh-school graduate and have been graduated ln a stenographic course, but by the looks of my typing you would think I nod never seen a typewriter before. My mother pesters me because I haven't got a job and all my other friends have. What do you think I should do?

DUMBBELL

ANSWER: In my oplnlon, typewriters are the most tempera- mental animals there are, and, if you haven't an affinity for one, there is no use in monkcylng with it. So pass up stenography as a career, ll; is not for you. Turn your attention to something for which you have an aptitude. :

Perhaps you have no marked talent. Not very many persons are born geniuses, but there ls some one thing for which all of us have a particular turn and the thing to do ls to find out what that ls. Th9 b“! W5! l5 liking. What do you like to do? What do you enjoy doing? By this I don't mean what you would like to do, but what you actually do like to do.

It to not generally a good idea to use a very deep pan when baking biscuits. as this tends to prevent them from browning evenly on the sides as well as on the tops. An inch-deep pan usually suffices, un- less one intends to bake those very high southern biscuits.

joined a vaudeville troupeand soon became the undisputed queen of the place.

Men paid a dollar a diance, the girls getting twenty-five cents on the dollar plus the price of the drinks. Kate always drank iced tea, wore high-necked shirtwaists and lonig skirts.

The Yukon proved to be a bonanza for the girl with the lrish smile and golden locks, and she became a success right from the start.

O

Now in the “big money," she financed Alexander Pantages‘ first venture in the theatre business. and for a time performed in his first vaudeville show. Kate's money put Pantagcs on his feet so that afterward he became a successful West Coast theatre owner and producer.

The star's first love affair was with handsome Floyd Warner, a cowboy whom she got to know by correspondence. For some reason or other, the couple couldn't make a go of marriage, and Kate di- vorced him after they'd been mar- ricd a shiort time.

In those days Dawson was a little world of its own, a law unto itself, a to\vn where tragedy

and joy walked hand in hand. Gambling flourished openly. Money was tossed about with reckless abandon. People were

drunk with pleasure and riotous livin-g. That's a picture of the gold city in the year i698. Meas- ured by any standard, it was the fastest city on the American con- tinent.

Housing conditions were a scri- ous problcm and thousands of persons spent the winter of '98 under tents. Foods of all kinds were sky-high. Take, for in- stance, beef, which sold for one dollar per pound on the hoof.

The men who trekked to the Land of Promise encountered un- told hardship; and for the one who found the rainbows end and the pot of gold, a hundred loft the digglngs poorer than when they had arrived. But the curse of the yellow metal got into people's blood, and you might just as wcll place a branch in the path o! an approaching hurricane as try to stem the swelling tide of gold-seekers.

Klondike Kate was a witness tn much of this misery. She livcd in the Yukon long enough to get a first-hand picture of all that want. on.

The Pantages Theatre was a1- ways the scene of much activity. When one-half of the population was out digging for cold, the oth- er half was whooping it up.

The bar was never without its line of patrons. Sidebyside, could be seen miners fresh from the diggings, the smell of powder and carth still clinging to their tat- tered garments, while another group — the kings of the Klon- dike — stood hard by, drinking their liquor in unison with the others.
