PECULIARITIES OF SENATORS
"Than. Miss Whitman, please con
sider yourself employed. Report for
dutjr at eight tomorrow morning—and
you'll pleass wear uniform and cap
in the office.” Bo spoke Doctor Blair
on the first of September when he en
gaged Ilortense Whitman, trained
nurse, as office assistant.
"There’s just one thing," said Hor-
tense. “The arrangement Is for me to
be in the office every morning, Includ
ing Sundays—with two afternoons off-
a week. I shall not aak for nny full
days—only if 1 should be atlll wfth
you by the ISth of April I’d like to
have the whole day off.”
Doctor Blair studied the nurse as
she made this request and for the first
time realized how very young and
naive she seemed—unbelievably so,
thought Doctor Blair, after the wear
and tear of hospital training.
“It cornea on a Wednesday—" she
was continuing.
“Oh, that’s perfectly all right Of
course you’ll still with me. I
wouldn't take you on If I thought I
was going to ha\a to dig op another
nurse In such a •bort time. Of course
you’ll have • day off now and then—
that's qotts all right Hers. I'll put It
down on my (took pad—April 1&—

In the year when you are to ‘have
things all your own way,” ahs told
Bobby.
It had not been easy to din Into the
little five-year-old mind Just what Hor-
tense meant, but when Bobby did
grasp the Idea he waited in joyous ex
pectation. So he made bis plans and
until the morning of the 15th he re
fused to tell hla aunt what they were.
For breakfast Bobby wanted to eat
on the “best dishes”—the few pieces
of green glazeware that constituted
liortense’s afternoon tea set, and ha
, wanted to eat sitting on the floor. Hia
aunt had also to sit on the floor. Thus
far his wishes were simple and inex
pensive.
“Now,” said Bobby, jumping up and
down with glee as Hortense washed
up the dishes after breakfast “Now
the party’s coming. <You don't know,
do you?”
"No,” assured Hortense.
"Are you surer* quizzed Bobby.
“Didn’t he tell you really and truly?
I told Doctor Blair he mustn't say
one weeny word about It to you.”
“Doctor Blair?" asked Hortense.
“What has bs got to do with tho

When you open boxes, take up car-
peta, or do anything that produces a
crop of bent nails, or useless tacks,
sa\e them. Then, the next time you
repot or transplant flowera, scatter
the nails and tacks through the bot
tom layer of the soil, set in the flowers
or plants, and fill the pot with rich
loam. When you water the plants
the nails will rust; the product of
this oxidation will enrich the soil re-
* markably. You will be agreeably sur
prised with the strong and beautiful
growth of the plants. “

cared for after school hours until her
duties at the doctor’s office were over.
Once when Bobby had acquired • j
Muck eye and another time when he
had been rather painfully scalded on-
the arm through a’too great eagerness
to examine the mysteries of the radia
tor In liortense’s little apartment. It
was necessary to consult the doctor.
On the latter occasion the doctor had
to call at t/ie little flat to see the boy.
And on thfrse few occasions the doctor
had come'to know and like the young
ster Immensely.
It was Tuesday, the 14th of April.
After afternoon office hours the doc
tor sat at his desk consulting his en
gagement pad to see what was on foot
for the remainder of the afternoon.
“Miss Whitman,” he called to Hor
tense, who was sterilizing some Instru
ments in the little operating room ad^
Joining, “you know you’re to have a
day off tomorrow. It’s the 15th.”
“Is It quite all right?” aiked Hor
tense shyly, coming Into the doctor’s
office. “I don’t want to inconvenience
you—"
“I’ve made no appointments for to
morrow," said the doctor, “so I shall
be able to maoafe. Qf coarse I shall

eagerly at Hortense, not at Bobby.
“You know I’ve been In love with you
from the first—”
"How could I have guessed It?” she
asked in surprise, and then, as the
doctor looked pleadingly in her eyes—
“And this was the birthday Bobby

Coal in the Congo.
