quality which was above price to her
clients, and rare as it was valuable
she never told.
She did not need to advertise That
would have been breach of the gem
tility of the Formaday family. But as
patronage flowed in Miss Formaday
took a neat place of her own-''The
Adullam Studios she called it, and it
had upon the door the name tAdullam
in delicate aluminium letters upon an
azure ground.
To the Adullam studios flock those
who are discontinued and those who

whose wives will not be properly boss

chondriac, the nerve unsettiing person
who suspects everybody and trusts no.
body, and the still more terrifying indi-
vidua1 who has lost property and
friends and can talk of nothing else.
Most of Miss Formaday's money,
however, is obtained from ladies who
come to complain of their servants
At first Miss Formaday expected to
give advice as part of her services. She
quickly found, however, that this was
not always desired. Her clients wanted
to do all the talking themselves. So
she simply sits and listens, and through
that simple expedient has obtained the
name of being the wiseSt and most
sympathetic adviser alive.
Her office hours are from 10 till 8.
She can bear no more. AT the close of
each days SeanceS she takes a BATH
hangs her garments in the fresh air
upon a clothesline, puts on others and
has a run in the park, where she
breathes long and deep. These precau-
lions are necessary to rid her of the
grievance microbe. which otherwise
might strike in on herself. The mi
crobes of the winners and those who
think the world is against them are
hardest to get rid of.
Miss Formaday is coming money in
her new profession. Society people
who snubbed her when she was poor
begin to recognize her again. Even
though she is earning money, she is
doing it in a perfectly womanly way,
with no brasSy outward appurtenances
of trade. and this is consoling to her
and satisfactory to them. She is sue
cessful She already has an automobile
and a toy Pomeranian puppy In a
year or two more she thinks she will
be able to keep up with the fashions in
feminine neckwear.

1 visited very charming country

bit of the interior decoration am told
that it is one of the newest things The
sitting room, which leads out of the

and decorated in an entirely different
manner. For instance, the ceiling of
the hall is long, low and raftered; the
furniture is rich and rather antique.
Now, to enter the sitting room, which
opens by means of broad folding doors,
you must go down couple of steps
and this allows you to enter a room
very high, studded, filled with sunshine
and fitted in a way to enhance the sud-

have no idea what pretty effect it

old bachelor brother, Mr.. Hyliver. As
happens sometimes, Mr.. Hyliver, bald,
plump in the stomach and forty, was
hopelessly in love with girl of eight

him, though he spent fortune on her
in flowers and bonbons. He was two
years older than Miss Formaday, but
he chose to consider her his maiden
aunt or his grandmother and daily told
her his tale of unhappy love for anoth-

and the hours stretched into days and
weeks when she came to add them up.
Lady fingers and lace had alike to be
sacrificed to this insatiate, bald bache-
