CHAPTER v.-ContInued.

The inevitable happened, for Vim
cent, with half-articulate cry like
a wild animal, raised his clenched fist
and struck at me. Fortunately for us
both, he struck wildly in his anger and
caught the blow on my arm.
"You liar!" he shouted, ooh, you
liar!" and in a rage that shook him
from head to foot he rushed from the
room and slammed the door.
was sick at heart as stood staring
after him to think that matters had
come to such pass between Vincent
and myself. Although no man can
hear himself called a liar, even by
his best friend, without resenting it,
still, when the first flash of my wrath
had passed, forgave him for it, for
knew that the heat of his passion
would permit no satisfaction but vio-
lence. and, of course, if he really cared
for the woman, the words / had used
were about the most insulting possible.
However, had done what seemed to
be my duty, and | only reproached my
self bitterly for not having told him
of the secretary's marriage before his
unhappy infatuation had gained such
Roadway. But he had disarmed my
first suspicious and I had never
dreamed that anything so serious was
on foot. That was restless night for
me and 1t was dawn before / fell into

1t first came to your view, but now
has grown almost hideous?
But that is Mrs. Roosevelt's fix pre-
cisely. Congress last winter did not
make any allowance for new furniture,
carpets, rugs or hangings of any kind.
The allowance was merely for mainte-
nance. That, of course, covers any
repairs that may be needed to furni-
ture, hangings or draperies, but 1t
does not permit the introduction Of
new things.

Capital Laundry War Is Taken to Court

they have attempted, and in some in
stances have succeeded, in employing
drivers of the Model Laundry Com
pany, through whom greater part of
the laundry business is controlled, and
have made threats to establishments
selling laundry supplies that they
would be boycotted In the future by
members of the exchange IL they con-
tinued to sell their goods to the COM
plainant.
For many months the laundries OF
the national capital have attracted the
attention Of the official element In the
city. Dinners seven nights a week
have made great demand on immac-
ulate dress shirts, not to speak OF the
other accessories OF statesman's
wardrobe. Last winter a Pennsyl-
vania congressman introduced bill
making 1t penal offense or some
thing Of that kind TO tear shirts, etc..

Changes Likely by Coming New Mistress

on the walls of that apartment during
the Mckinley administration. She also
selected furniture less ornate than the
Louis XVI of the Mckinley regime.
Col Bromwell in submitting his es-
innate this year for the probable cost
Of maintenance and renewals at the
White House during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1910. set the figure at
$4,000, or $4,000 more than the cur
rent fiscal year.
That means that $4,000 will be at
the disposal Of the new mistress next
summer. Inasmuch as the appropria-
ton bills for the year beginning on
July l must all be passed before
March 4, mere nod from the new
first lady of the land, If she has any
particular idea of how things should
be done, will be sufficient to get more
money for her, even IL her husband
has not been indicted into office.
With $4,000 to start with, the new
first lady will be able to get new
dishes II she does not like the kind
used by the Roosevelt family, and
probably have the wall coverings in
several of the rooms changed. In a
pinch 1t might be made to cover the
cost of few bits of furniture to take
the place Of the ugly stuff in the east
room.
During the first year Of a new fam
lily in the White House the cost of
new furniture and maintenance runs
up to about $1,000 q week.

MI AN, mere man, rules the furniture
NA and the arrangement of things In
the White House. In this instance, the
mere man is Col Charles S. Bromwell.
He is young engineer so youthful in
appearance that the silver eagle on
his shoulder straps, indicating the
rank of colonel, certainly looks like
stray bird. He is a colonel only while
he is in charge Of the White House.
Being an engineer it would be i'm
possible for Bromwell to have the
Japanese vases in the wide entrance
hall of the White House set more than
a sixteenth of an inch out of line. 1t
would also be impossible for him to
have a mirror hung at An angle never
before known in the White House.
Congress in failing to provide for
any new furniture or anything else
new this year remembered that 1t is
the custom when there is a new first
lady of the land in the White House
for all the authorities to bow low and
ask her pleasure in regard to things.

W ASHINGTON. - Have sympathy
w for Mrs. Roosevelt, wife of the
president, She, of all beloved wives
in the land whose husbands have an
income more than sufficient to afford
a bare living, is most to be pitied.
Every other such wife in the land has
added something to the house since
returning from her summer spent
away from home. There Is probably
not another woman in the land who
has not added at least one piece of
furniture, had a room papered, bought
new curtains for at least one room,
added rug to the children's bedroom
or has done something of that kind.
But Mrs. Roosevelt has no addition to
boast of.
When she got back to the White
House not long ago she found every.
thing just as it was when she went
away. Some painting had been done
inside and out, but that is all. 1t
might just as well not have been
done, because the new paint is just
