rational man must have something be-
sides physical beauty; there must be
wit, intellect. accomplishments. Usual
ly we recognize the beauty first. and
then the other attributes, one by one,
as the acquaintance ripens. With me
the things have been switched round.
The accomplishments came first; ] be-
came fascinated by a voice n a mind.
But when l saw her face. ~ Oh,

her; the woman herself has warned
me; the primal instinct of self-preser-

If / have hurt you with any; of my

now realized that his friend was In a
bad way. Stfn. there was a hidden
gladness in his heart that HiIlard, al
ways railing at his tMerrihew's) affairs,
was in the same boat now. and rudder-
less at that.

matter of fact, your gibes nave been a

Nothing. When we nave seen Flor

pleasant foolery Of casting a line, of
drawing the bait. OF lifting the hook.
and Of reeling in. -Four pounds, Jack.

And so naturally they fell to recount

sciously.
There you go again. laughed Merri-
hew. You tack that sigh to every
thing o say; and that's what I've
been complaining about"
Hillard was human; he might be
deeply in love, but this had not des-
troyed his healthy sense of humor. So
he laughed at himself.
Then they unused silently for a while.
On either side, from their w~fndow-bal-
.cony, the lights of Lungarno spread out
in a brilliant half-circle. repeating
themselves, after the fashion of women,
in the mirror of the Arno. On the hill
across the river the statue of David
was visible above the Piazza Michel
angelo,
You never told me what she was
like said Merrihew finally.
Haven't I? Perhaps you never
asked. We went through the Pitt
Palace today. / couldn't drag you
from Raphael's Madonna of the
Chair She is as beautiful as that"
"Imagination is a wonderful thing,
was Merrihew's solitary comment.
Mine has not been unduly worked
in THIS instance" Hillard declared with
emphasis. Beauty in women has al
ways been to me something in the abb
stract, but it is so no longer, There is
one thing which I wish to impress upon
you, Dan. She is not an adventures.
She has made no effort to trap me. On
the contrary, she has don all she could

you, frankly. Jack. something's wrong.

be & en- to a friend who travels much
should be mad from a circle of PASTE
board, four inches ~insdiameter. another
circle three inches In diameter, and a
bone or wooden ring three inches in
diameter.
Cover the two p~asteboard circles with
a layer of cotton batting, then OUT
side and in with ecru china silk of a
firm quality. Cut a strip of the silk
twenty-five inches long and six deep,
join the ends together, gather the bot
tom and overcast to the largest circle.
Gather h upper edge around the bone
circle.
Overcast or fasten the smaller circle
of pasteboard to the top of the bone
ring at the back. for a lid, and pro-
1t with a loop to fasten on a but
ton just below the ring on the bag.
Make a loose channels bag to slip in
side the silk one to hold powder and
puff, Such a cast is collapsible and
much lighter than carrying a glass or
silver powder box in a travelling bag.

Upon the counter of a lingerie shop.
very exquisitely wrought with hand
embroidery and inset with lace as deli
cate as a cobweb, lay a pair of stock
ings, the price of which was $500.
"They are made for a BRIDE" said the
attendant, land are of the very best
quality p~rocurable. The SILK is all
hand-woven, and the lace, which, as
you will see, is inset in panels. is real
and very costly
do you sell many" I asked.
Not very many but still an appre-
ciable numbe of pairs each year" was
the reply. THE stockings are usually
bought to be worn only on the wedding
day, n are afterwards kept a. heir
looms, to be handed down from mother
to daughter, with the idea that they
will be worn on successive wedding
days"

possessed a temper which was backed
| by considerable strength, and only on
rare occasions did this temper slip from
his control. Thoroughly angry, Hillard
was not a happy man TO antagonize.
Yes, / am sure. And yet. as I think
it over, as 1 ~recollect the woman" went
on the colonel, with a smile which was
evil and ~insinuating. We'll, |
shall not question you. The main thing
is, you annoyed me In Monte Carlo
I was practically alone. Here the scene
is different; it is Florence. Doubtless
you win understand" He struck out
with the gloves.
But they never touched Hillard's face.
! His hand, expectant of this very move
ment, caught the assailant's wrist, and,
with a quick jerk brought him half
way across the table. He bore down
on the wrist so fiercely that the Italian
cried family. Hillard. with his face
but a span from the others, spoke
tensely, but in ar undertone.
Listen carefully TO what I have to
say, signore. l understand perfectly,
but I shall fight no duel. 1t is an OBJ
| solete fashion, and proves nothing but
mechanical skill. 7 do not know what
kind of BLACKBOARD you are, but black
guard | know you to be. II you ever
address me again l promise on the
word of a gentleman to give you a
whipping which will hav a more last
ing effect upon your future actions
than a dozen sermons If hat will not
serve, I shall appeal &c the police"
"Pcltroon,"
las often as you pleased" Hillard
flung him off roughly
A small but interested crowd had
gathered by now. and Merrihew saw
visions of Italian jails. Through the
crowd the ever-present carabinierl
shouldered their way.
TT is nothing said the colonel, mo-
tioning them to stand back, which they
did with a sign of respect.
This sign gave Hillard some o for
thought. His antagonist was evidently
a personag of some Importance.
Figure of an American pig"
Hiilard laughed. II might have
broken your wrist, but did not. You
are not grateful
The carabinieri moved forward again.
THE affair is over" said Hillard
amiably. This officer has mistaken
me for some one he knows
The scar was livid on the Italians
cheek. He stood undecided for a space
His companion laid a restraining hand
on his arm. He nodded, n the two
made off. What might in former days
have been a tragedy was nothing more
than a farce. But it spoiled the night
for Merrihew, and he was for going
back to the motel Hlllard agreed.
