Of the others. Nevertheless. she was
nervous and embarrassed over the sit

fear that the Iron Count had heard and
seen enough to form a pretty good opin-
ion of what had passed between her
self and Baldos IN this remote corner
of the park. A deep sense Of shame
was taking possession of her.
Marlanx, smiling significantly, looked
into her brave little face and permit

did you learn to say you all in
| America ?" he asked. Her heart gave
a great leap. There was something
SO subtle in the query that she was
vastly relieved.
"Never mind about that, sir. You
won't tell me what you said in your
note to Ravone."
81 cannot"
"Well, he gave you one in return. II
you are perfectly sincere, Baldos, you
will hand that note over to me. 1t

as you vow, it does not jeopardize

| He hesitated for a long time; then
from an inner pocket he drew forth a
bit Of paper
"I don't see why it has not been
destroyed" he said regretfully. what
neglectful fool have been"
sYou might have said it had been de-
stroyed," she said, happy because he
had not said 1t.
"But that would have been lie.
Read it, your highness, and return 1t
to me. It must be destroyed"
sTt is too dark to read it here" With
out word he handed the paper to her
and called the chair bearers, to whom
| he gave instructions that brought her
speedily beneath one of the park lamps.
She afterward recalled the guilty i'm
pulse which forced her to sit on the
telltale note while the men were carry
/ ing her along in the driveway. When
| it was quite safe she slyly opened the
missive His hand closed over hers
and the note, and he bent close once
more.
"My only fear is that the test viii
make it impossible for me to kiss your
hand again." said he in strained
voice. She looked up in surprise.
sThen it is really something disloy-
alp
II have called it test, your high
ness" he responded systematically.
"Well, we'll see" she said and forth
with turned her eyes to the all impor-
tant paper A quick fash crossed her
brow; her eyes blinked hopelessly. The
note was written in the Graustark Ian
guage!
| 'T'll read it later, Baldos. This is no
place for me to be reading notes, don't
you know; really, it isn't. I'll give it
back to you tomorrow" she was in
haste to say.
| An inscrutable smile came over his
face.
"Ravone's information is correct,
am now convinced he said slowly.
''Pray, your highness, glance over it
now, that may destroy it at once" he
persisted.
'gThe light isn't good"
ut seems excellent"
/ @And never saw such a miserable
scrawl as this. He must have written it
on horseback, and at full gallop."

| II really cannot read the stuff. You
know his handwriting. Read it to me.
I'll trust you to read 1t carefully"
This is embarrassing, your highness,
but / obey, of course, If you command.
Here is what Ravone says:
1--WE have fresh proof that she Is not the
princess, but the American girl. Be ex-
ceedingly careful that she does not lead
| you into any admissions. The Americans
are tricky. Have little to say to her and
guard your tongue well. We are all well

SacRef Po1Oders.

Every woman delights in a delicate
sachet powder, for this is an age Of per-
fume. Strong pungent odors should be
avoided for several reasons and one
should also avoid using continuously the
same perfume. otherwise the olfactory
nerves will lose their fine sensibility or
else acquire an unhealthy irrItability.
Change your perfume rather for one Of
the same accord. for there are odors
that harmonic just as chords in music
For example. sandalwood accords we'll
with rose-geranium, acacia blossoms or
orange flowers. Change one for another
or mix equal parts OF any two Musk
suits with tube-roSe, rose. tonka bean
or jonquil; but very little musk is neces-
sary in q mixture. it is so strong, and
never is IL used alone by a woman of
refinement. Such, determinations will be
as readily made by keen or well-edu-
Gated nose as a tune by a cultivated ear
Ihe pleaSantest mode OF using per-
fume Is to have a little sachet of what
ever scent be preferred, distributed
throughout ones personal belonging
Have one in the writing desk. one in t. .
handkerchief case, another in the collar
box and several in the shirt waist box
and the dresser drawers. In this way a
delicate fragrance is constantly about
one. yet is not strong enough to be dis
agreeable or too demonstrative for re-
finement.-Selected.

TRAVELLING BAGS
Fot Women Are More Expensive Than
Ever.

With the price Of leather advancing
and that OF silver soaring higher, the
woman who invests in a travelling bag
this summer viii have TO pay an in
crease of from 81 to s. more than was
asked last year For in addition to the
advance In the price OF leather. silver
fittings have gone up. so that a bag
equipped with toilet articles in silver
viii sell at an advance Of from s. TO 5.
This big advance IN the prices OF bags
that are now considered so necessary for
weekend trips or for long tours is
caused, according 70 one dealer. by the
enormous demand for feathers and the
shortage in the supply. while the silver
pieces have gorc Ip because Of the in
crease IN the cost OF the crude metal
Dark bags are more stylish than
brown. or the light tan ones. and walrus
and black cali skin with brass trimmings
are decidedly smart. Elephant, seal and
the sea elephant are also in demand.
though none is - smart as the smooth

z SIMPLE DINNER MENU FOR
ENTERTAINING x FEW FRIENDS
For the HouSekeeper Who Keeps No Maid or Who
Is Temporarily Without One

A letter received from a personal
friend has furnished me with text for
our weekly article and, as il is in line
with the experience OF many women. 1
do feel that ! cannot do better than to
quote a few lines. 1t Is hard TO tell

How can I best accomplish the simple
entertaining Of friends?"
There are few OF Us who have not, at
some time or other, been called 10 90

the sake OF the younger housewives who
are struggling with the problem. let me
