next month when l was back in Rich

young English lord to dinner, / watch
ed everything he did and noticed that
he dropped his napkin in his chair
when he left the table, 1 have since
learned that it is quite customary over
there. We don't do it, you know. but
really they would look nicer in the
chairs than a lot of linen wads stuck
about among the finger bowls and salad
dishes. They would be less suggestive

Kitty Cosby drew a full breath when
Mrs. Cranston paused.
And pm top of all that you say he's

smile. We'll, I'll tell you. you'd bet

I'm safe here or not. I always did love

Lydia would hate to- cause discord in
lthe family, 1 know, but nine girls out
of ten would fall dead in love with thai
sort of man under those circumstances,
and they would want to stick to him,

MISS MORSE ENGAGED.

Newark is interested in the an
nouncement of the engagement of Miss
Alberta Soul Morse, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank e. Morse, of Boonton,
and Professor Orville Johnson Oswald,

luncheon given recently at the home
of the bride-to-be. Miss Morse and
her parents are former Newarkers and
were well known in social circles here.
The guests included Miss Ethel
Fiske, of East Orange; Miss Christine
Phelps, of North Adams, Mass; Miss
Esther King, Miss Julia Adams, Miss
Lillian Smith, all of Brooklyn; Miss
Lucy Soule, OF Allegheny, N. ~; Miss
Eleanor Smith, of Troy Hills, and Miss
Ethel Morse. Miss Florence. Garrison,

do, Kitty; 1t don't do. Something has
got to be done"
Yes, but what?' said the girl. "You
can count on me. I'll earn my board
while I'm here If I possibly can. How
does Governor Telfare like his rival?"
Hes simply crazy, Kitty. He is Just
at the age to want to do things in a
hurry, too. Folks say he neve cared
for his dead wife, and I suppose this Is
really his first owe affair. He conlded
in me and said he simply could not
bear a refusal. Then, just as I have
explained to you, I told him what we
feared in regard to Lydia's sympathy
I called 1t that-for George Buckley and
advised him to handle her cautiously.
He turned as white as a sheet, and his
proud, thin lip curled like an angry
dogs.
"Do you mean to tell me, Mrs.
Cranston,' he said, that I have a rival
In that man, the son of q Georgia con-
vict-I, the only living Telfare in the
line-I. who have been honored by my
state as the Telfares before me nave

ground, under the roof of the most
a~ristocratic family of the Old Domin-
ion. a maj of that rank?'
II was awfully frightened over his
manner, but I simply held to the
ground tina Lydia nae a good heart
and was loyal to her unfortunate
friends, and nat if he wanted to lose
her by being imprudent and rousing
her anger l should feel that I had given
him due warning. He cooled down a
little, and my talk didn't do the cause
a bit of harm, for he simply logged
Lydia's footsteps all the rest of his
visit, and when he went back to At
lanta. he sent her fully $50 worth of
roses. The major says l ought never
to have mentioned George ruckley's
name to him--that Governor Telfare is
a most dangerous man, with a violent
temper. He says he'd actually be
afraid to have the two men meet here,
but / wouldn't. Buckley is a brave
man, I've no doubt, but I'd venture
anything that he'd control himself un-
der any circumstances"
When the two ladies had gone back
to the house and parted in the big hall
Miss Cosby turned into the parlor.
where our heroine sat at the piano,
idly running her hands over the keys.

ROUND ABOUT
THE H.O M E


There is nothing that appeals to the
esthetic perceptions Of the dainty
woman as keenly as q well-appointed
dressing table. The very sight of a
neatly arranged toilette table is delight
full to the average In selecting
articles for such, one can purchase a
cheap assortment of pieces that are
dainty, if necessity compels one to make
a choice of less expensive luxuries, and
the finer articles must needs go 10
those more fortunate with ready
money.
In purchasing silver articles one
should avoid too ornamental pieces, for
they are not good style, and all who
have bought the plain silver articles, as
smooth almost as a dinner knife, de-
plore the tiny scratches they display
after short usage. s.

ITO have you with me, dear, in this
quiet placer" smiled Lydia. looking up.
mo" The visitor bent over the
| speaker. Guess again"
I'm not good at guessing. It's tire
some, like playing Whist when one is
out of practise"
Lydia, every girl in our set simply
went wild when we heard about the
marked attentions o were receiving
from Governor Telfare. You know
there are piles and piles of marriage
able girls in the south and very, very
few young. unyoked governors"
That's quite true" said Lydia, with
a non-commlttal smile.
at would be nice, DEAR went on
Kitty, ito be tile mistress of that man
sion in Atlanta and preside at every
function of state in the town, That's
about the nearest approach we make
to royalty, you know. Goodness knows,
if l had the MONEY I'd buy me an earl"
Lydia bowed her head over the keys
and laughed merrily. ut wouldn't be
mean?"
Il should say not Miss Cosby was
trying to probe the laugh.
Look here. Kitty" Lydia said, sud
denly rising and laying her hands on
Miss Cosby's shoulders and pressing
them down firmly. Take my advice
and turn in and have a good time while
you are here and don't waste a minute
fooling with mammals plots. She's as
transparent as a psne of glass, and so
are you, darling. Transparency is CON
tagious. You used to be harder to see
through"
THE ideal" Miss Cosby said. "Why,
Lydia, you silly goose" But she
seemed unable to defend herself against
the implied charge and could ouly re-
peat, 1.-THE idea of such a thing!"

NEEDLE and THREAD
A Hint as to Braidi1g.

In braiding. sew in the stitches so
that the needle sticks back into almost
the same thread of the braid from
which it has been pulled. almost con
cealing the sewing: sew closely, so the
braid does not "wabble." Use your
mind at every turn of the braid, always
remembering to make sharp corners il
they are so designed. never forgetting
to keep the shape of the long curves.
and, above all. not losing sight of the
spirit of the pattern. In selecting the
braid have a thought as to its pliabiiity,
and don't make a match that doesn't
match.
