This proven fact, ns may rendily lie perceived, enables the Cumpnny tu use about one half of tbe cement ordinarily used, thereby cutting the cost very mnterinlly. On a test brick, mode VI to 1, 1200 pounds per square inch wns applied without crushing. Walls and flooring are of a plastic material applied with a trowel nnd adheres to either wood, concrete or iron in n manner impossible to duplicate, thus eliminating thc cost of wood or metal lath nnd mnkes nil iil.sulut.-ly fireproof construction. Tho material used fur this plaster tins stood 1700 'degree. F. of beat, and showed no crocks when nir or water ended. The cost of this material is about one half that of the nr Hilary plaster and less than half tbe cost of any aggregate, tile or simple flooring. An imitation marble Is produced iu uny size, thickness or color, at a cost of otic-ip.itrtcr that of real uinrl.le, and as this material is niunufaf lured, it eliminates the additional cost caused hy cutting, trimming nnd fitting murble slabs.

Sir John aurvejred tlv nttes for a moment and then turned to the reporter in a kind and fatherly man- ner. "Young man. will you let ma give you a word of advicer" "Certainly.

I bud feared he would turn out oue of tUtma mo called fascinating society men thai I did not admire. He was very deferential to me, but If he bad heeu told tbat I bad beeu picked out for him he ahowed no consciousness of the fact. Altogether our meeting waa satisfactory to all respects but one. Mr. Rucklln showed no etgu whatever that he took more Interest lu me tbun wua warranted by tbe fact that I waa man-bed wltb blm at a wedding ceremuuy. However, the acquaintance msde on that occasion was continued, and Ur. Bucklln became a regular caller at our bouse. Be waa usually very busy, but found time to ahow me some st- CeutloD. Tet It seemed to me tbat be waa doing It to plea*** Clara, wltb whom be waa on very friendly terms Occasionally 1 would twit her wltb Ibe failure of her plan for me. whereupon ahe would say: "I don't think John considers himself able to marry Just now. Ilealdes, Il seems to me tbat you treat blm with marked Indifference." Aa to her excuses for Mr. Buck Hu. t did nut consider tbem or any moment whatever. I was surprised at her saying thut I treated him with Indifference, for I wus not conscious of doing aa And yet Clura was doubt- leaa right. If n mai'ih la designed by a mutual friend and Ibe man lo tbe cat* doea not make a move lo a matrl- moots! direction the girt la very likely to treat blm wltb either Indifference or sometblog more pronounced. Tbera was good reason why t should marry. The family purse waa not plethoric, and father was growlog too old to remain much longer In bualoeae harness. About thai time we discharged our housemaid, giving out tbat we couldn't get a servant, but really because wa couldu't afford to keep one. I did ibt work tbat the housemaid hid done. When I swept and dusted I planed my dress back and wort a towel over my bead. Father encouraged me by saying tbat I looked prettier In that costume than wben dressed for A ball. Out morning I waa sweeping tbe par lor. It waa separated from tbe dining room by folding doors aa well aa a portiere. At this particular time tbe folding doors and tbe portieres were both cloaed. I beard the doorbell ring. I couldu't go to tbe door In sweeping costume, but father had not yet gone out, and I knew ht would do so. 1 waa about to run opetelra when I beard father's atep lo Ibe ball and knew I was too late. Fearing be snlgbt bring aome one Into tbe parlor, 1 stepped between tbt folding doors tod tbt portiere. I bad scarcely got Into concealment wben father entered tbe room and wltb blm another person. I couldn't act wbo this person waa, but all doubt on the subject was onou removed by bearing ibe deep sounding voice of John Bucklln. Naturally 1 waa very much astonished. MI must go Into an explanation." be Mid lo father, "for ranking a call al tbla unusual hour before I stale tbe object of my visit. | aall this afternoon for South America, and oo far aa I can Judge I see uo proe|ttct or my gttUog back here possibly fur years." J surely thought I should faint. "I ebal-.fpiter tutu some particular*," continued tbe man who bnd been picked out for me, "the reason fnr whlcb Will apftrnr its 1 proceed. I have been admitted lo a iwrlm-rshlp wltb tbe Arm by whom I have been employed ■nd am gulug to South America to •pen a branch house there 1 confess Ibat I dislike going from home, breaking Uea that have been forming ores •Iocs I waa bora, to dwell iseos-g •Uingers."

"I hare uut. lu uny event I would have naked your permission tu do so, and this very uuusuul busie renders It essential." "Sn far as I am concerned," ssld father. "I hnve nn objection. 1 will call Sadie, nud If you think you can in dure her to consent to hui h a husty marriage you ure ipiite welcome to try. Itut If you will lie guided by an older man, n married man. you will not word yuur proposition tu her as you bave to me.

Father went to the door uud culled me. of course then* wua nu answer, lie weut uut lnio the hall and called again. Theu I heard him go upstairs. "Where's Hiidie'*" "She's below." "No, ahe Isn't" "She surely Isn't up here." "Find tier." Imagine my feelings, standing boll upright in the narrow space l-ctween Ihe door* mid the portiere, the man who had pt'i|iuHe.i lor me so near Ibal I was afruid he would hear me breathe, angry with him at bla out- rageotiH proposition tu take me away tu amuse him, sure to be discovered In this uiiloitiiiiiite, disgraceful poaltlou and, worse than all, lu sweeping costume. 1 surely thought 1 should suffocate. Well, | must do something. They all knew that I was In (lie boost and would bunt till they found me, I could better endure tu face my lover. My lover-Just think of III Belter call him my buyer-I n pet dog for bla amusement! Better Ibat 1 aboutd come out uf hiding aud face blm than be cuujjlii eavesdropping. I tried three limes to make a move befort i succeeded. The third lime, my heart beating like n kettledrum, my face red Sa a beet, I ladled fur the door leading Into (he hull, culled to father, "Never mind: I'm here In ibe parlor," then slammed II to Impress It upon everyone without Ihe room tbat I was abut up wltb my prupot-er and waa to be let alone. Then 1 turned uud faced blm. And he faced me. I don't know whlcb waa the more ludicrous, tbe gape on bin face or the mortification mingled wllh wounded pride on mine. It aeemed .'.hat we two rather than take up low* aud murrlnge were shout lo spring at eacb other Ilka two wild animals. The proper thing for me to have done under the circumstances was to wait fnr him to speak. But consider Ibe situation. If ll was uut enough to rattle any girl, hud she even the heart of a fish, then I am no JnuVe of situations. Instead of appearing sensible of Ibe compliment he mul paid me In asking me to Ik> hla wire, instead of explaining that 1 had been an enforced eavee- drupper. Instead of saying a lot of things I sin.uld hnve snld. I did what I should not.
