CHAPTER VIII.

Slivers and his friend Villiers were
by no means pleased with the existing
state of things In sending Vandeloup
10 the Pactolus claim, they had thought
that Madame Midas would fall in love
with che attractive Frenchman, and seek
for divorce IN order to marry him
which divorce Filliers would of course re-
sist. unless she hribed him by giving him
an interest in the Pactolus. But they had
both reckoued wrongly, for Madame was
not in love with Vandeloup. and acted
with much circumspection. Consequently
SHvers and Co, not finding matters going
70 their satisfaction, met one day AT the
Office of the senior partner for the purpose
Of discussing the affair and seeing what
could be done toward bringing Madame
Midas 20 their way of thinking.
Then, suppose you so cut to the Pac-
tolus and see your wife" suggested Sliy-
ers

his best unless he was well dressed.

About Napkins,

At the best houses, napkins are still
laid at the left of the forks or upon the
service plate If preferred.
Sometimes they are half folded over
with small piece of bread or dinner
roll inclosed, though ordinarily these
are now laid upon the bread and butter
plate.
The napkins is folded square, with
the initial or monogram of the hostess
on top.
Napkins folded in fancied shapes are
not tolerated outside of country hotels
and restaurants.
The luncheon napkin may be smaller
than the dinner one.
Napkins should be ironed while quite
damp, so as to give them the gloss and
finish so desirable in all table linen well
