At this moment the door opened again

She stopped. They were quite alone
in the one silent street Of the stricken
village. She looked up into his face.
Her hands were running over the
breast Of the tattered coat he Wore: It
was lamentably obvious, even to him,
that she loved him. In her anxiety she
either did not know what she was do

knew or not.

He walked on almost roughly.

"Of course Catrina went on, with a
sudden anger which surprised herself,

she asked innocently.

trap.
Catrina winged. One does not vince

"Only that?" she inquired.
Paul glanced at her.

They walked on in silence for few
moments. Paul seemed tacitly to have

Catrina stopped short. She stood for

II congratulate you," she said. II
only hope she will make you happy.
She is beautiful, I suppose?'
''Yes," answered Paul simply.
The girl nodded her head.
"What is her name?'
"Etta Sydney scarborough"
Catrina had evidently never heard
the name before. 1t conveyed nothing
to her. Womanlike, she went back to
her first question.
What is she like?''
Paul hesitated.
"Tall, suppose?' suggested the
gtunted woman at his side.
"Yes.''

stepan Lanovitch, secretary and Or
ganizer of the Charity league.
The Countess Lanovitch belonged to
the school existing in Petersburg and
Moscow in the early years Of the cen
tury-the school that did not speak
Russian, but only French; that chose
to class the peasants with the beasts
of the field; that apparently expected
the deluge to follow soon.
Her drawing room, looking out on to
the Neva, was characteristic of herself.
Camellias held the floral honors in vase
and pot. The French novel ruled su-
preme on the side table. The room was
too hot, the chairs were too soft, the
moral atmosphere too lax. One could
tell that this was the dwelling room Of
a lazy, self indulgent and probably ig-
norant woman.
The countess herself in nowise con-
tradicted this conclusion. She was
seated on a very low chair, exposing
Slippered foot to the fame of a wood
fire. She held a magazine in her hand
and yaWned as she turned it's pages.
She was not SO stout in person as her
loose and somewhat highly colored
cheeks would imply. Her eyes were
dull and sleepy. The woman was an
incarnate yawn.
She looked up, turning lazily in her
chair, to note the darkening Of the air
without the double windows.
"Ah,' she said aloud to herself in
French, when will it be tea timer
AS she spoke the words the bells Of
sleigh suddenly stopped with a rattle
beneath the window.
Immediately the countess rose and
went to the mirror over the mantel-
piece. She arranged without enthu-
s1asm her struggling hair and put
straight lace cap which was chronic
| ally crooked. She looked at her re-
lection pessimistically. as we'll she

Steinmetz came into the room with

"Catrina has gone out-on a day like

INAUGURAL BALL ROOM.
The General Scheme of Decoration
Proposed.

James Rush Marshall, chairman of the
committee on decoration of ball room, has
given out the following statement:
THE design used on this occasion differs
somewhat in the arrangement of the bunt-
ing floral display and electric lights from
that Of the previous occasion. The feature
of the overhead canopy has been dispensed
with, partly because of increased security
against fire and partly to relegate the bunt-
ing to the more legitimate use as drapery
and as foil for the floral and illuminated
decorations. This treatment permits the
recognition of the two-storied arcade as
decorative feature, it's form not being OBJ
secured by swathing with fabrics. Though
a small amount of materials is used, 1t is
of better grade, and this, with the fire.
proofing. which has been made mandatory
by Congress, has considerably increased
the cost All the drapery above the arcade
is of a uniform blush color. designed to
serve as a background and throw into re-
lief the more brightly treated facade, with
it's gallery crowned by tall evergreens and
the sculptured decorations, which serve to
unite this architectural feature with the
main mass of the building. At this level
each of the tall evergreenS has IN front OF
1t a column. supporting ball and eagle, as
a browning ornament, these being connected
by festoons OF drapery. The whole tone OF
this series OF ornaments Is in ivory.
I'VE have sought, while harmonizing the
three elements of drapery. floral treatment
and lighting. to avoid any indiscriminate
mixture of these elements, giving each a
chance to assert itself in the whole design.
With this object in view, the draping is
kept quite distinct. including broad turkey
