Shirley Claiborne had been out Of
college a year and afforded pleasant
refutation of the dull theory that ad-
vanced education destroys girls
charm or buoyancy, or whatever 1t Is
that is so greatly admired In young
womanhood. She gave forth the i'm
preston of vitality and strength. She
was, beautifully fair. With high color
that accumulated her youthfulness. Her
brown hair. caught up from her brow
in the fashion Of the early years Of the
century, flashed gold In sunlight
Much of Shirley's girlhood had been
spent in the Virginia hills. where Judge
Claiborne had loPg maintained refuge
from the heat OF Washington. From
childhood she had read the calendar of
spring as 1t is written upon the land
scape itself. Her fingers found by In
stinct the first arbutus. She knew
where white violets shone first upon
the rough breast of the hillsides, and
particular patches of rhododendron
lad for her the intimate interest Of pri
vate gardens.
AS the Claibornes fingered at their
table short stout man espied them
from the door and advanced beamingly.
"Ah, my dear Shirley, and Dick! Can
it be possible? l heard only by the
merest chance that you were here. But
Switzerland is the real meeting place
of the world"
The young Americans greeted the
newcomer cordially. A waiter placed

thur Singleton was an American,
though he had lived abroad so long as
to have lost his identity with any par
ticular city or state Of his native land.
He had been I'm attache of the Ameri-
can embassy at London for many
years. Administrations changed and
ambassadors came and went, but Sin
gleton was never molested. 1t was said
that he kept his position on the score
of his wide acquaintance. he knew ev
cry one, and he was great peddler OF
gossip, particularly about people IN
high station.
The children Of Hilton Claiborne
were not to be overlooked. He would
impress himself upon them, as was his
way. for he was sincerely social by in
stlnct and would go far to do kind
ness for people he really liked.
"Ah me! You have arrived oppor
tunely, Miss Claiborne. There's mys
terry in the air-the great Stroebel is
hereunder this very roof and in a
dreadfully bad humor. He is dan
gerous mana very dangerous man,
but failing fast. Poor Austria! Count
Ferdinand Won Stroebel can have no
successor. He's only sort of hold
over from the nineteenth century, and
with him and his emperor out of the
way-what? For my part see only
dark days ahead" And he concluded
with little sigh that implied. crum
bling thrones and falling dynasties.
The reader Of the Neue Freie Presse,
preparing to leave his table. tore from
the newspaper an article that seemed
to have attracted him, placed it in his
cardcase and walked toward the door.
The eyes Of Arthur Singleton lighted
in recognition. and the attache, mutter-
ing an apology to the Claibornes, ad-
dressed the young gentleman cor
daily.
"Why. Armitage, of all men" and he
rose, still facing the Claibornes with
an air of embracing the young Ameri-
cans in his greetings. He never liked
to lose an auditor and he would in no
circumstances miss chance to display
the wide circumference of his acQuaint
ance.
"Shirley-Miss Claiborne-allow me
to present Mr.. Armitage." The young
army officer and Armitage then shook
hands, and the three men stood for a
moment, detained, it seemed. by the
old attache, who had no engagement
for the next hour or two and resented
the idea Of being left alone.

His voice and manner were those OF
a gentleman. His color, as Shirley
Claiborne now observed. was that OF
an outdoors man. She was familiar
with 1t in soldiers and sailors and
knew that it testified to a vigorous and
wholesome life.

RERMUDA LILY FROST.

Hundreds Of thousands Of Bermuda Easter Nlies
destined for New Yorks Eastertide are to be left
uncut to die on their stems. in the heat or
tro7icaI sun Yet the crop of lilies is better than
ever before on the islands. This Is not why they
will not be cut The reasons for this tragedy are
various One the importers say, is the lateness OF
Easter There will be many hcme flowers by
April IS that it will not be worth while 10 incur
the expense of importing thousands Of boxes from
the far south.
Furthermore the shipment Of lily bulbs for Easter
planting has made great inrOads on the cut lily
business-in reality. has eclipsed the latter. The
bulbs are planted by the florist TO meet the Easter
season and retail for g stem carrying two bios
SONS. at approximately 81 a plant That gives
handsonler profit than box of cut buds-three
dozen buds. on less than dozen stems. at 50
keep
For long time the importation of cut Easter
lilies has been an unsatisfactory business The
buds could not be relied upon The average lily
stem, that carried four buds. did not yield four
white blossoms. They picked badly. they
were CareIessly packed and the houses to which
they were sold wholesale their arrival failed To
appreciate the fact that the fragrant white bios
SONS had been cut 4 week before So the Old i'm
porters of Bermuda lilies say -rnphaticaly that
they will handle them more. preferring to raise
their own lilies from bulbs. So the splendor OF the
coming Easter holidays will depend upon the uly
bulbs nourished in the northern climate. the
other spring blooming flowers that vie with
them The only real Bermuda lilies that will find
their way TO Ne York will be those by winter
