At that moment the great han door
was opened, and the first guest, a tall,
slight, well-made man, with a trim grey
moustache, entered, n was shown
into the dressing-room. Lord Baude-
sert Their took his stand, or rather his
seat, near the door of the drawing
room, with Mrs. Vereker at his side.

planned to Sir Percy, "at balls. 1t is

sympatheticaily to Lord Baudesert,
"that the govt is troubling you this
evening. / have not heard you speak
of it for months"
Haven't had a touch since the last
ball." calmly replied Lord Baudesert,
and then he stood up to greet the early
guest. who entered without showing
any awkwardness at his somewhat pre-
mature arrival.
Delighted to see you,' said Lord
Baudesert, with the greatest cordially.
sIt is not often you honor a ball. Let
me introduce my nephew and new sec
rotary of the Embassy to you-Sir
Percy Carlyon. Senator March
The two men shook hands. and in
stantly each received a good impression
of the other.

March. who was chairman of the COM
mittee on foreign relations, had spoken
upon IL. He gave a brief resume oil
what he had said. and Lord Baudesert,
in a few incisive sentences, threw a
Hood of light upon b subject Sir
Percy listened with interest TO what
Senator March had to say. III was MS
first informal conversation with an
American public man and he admired
the ease. the simplicity and the SUD
lime common sense with which senator
March handled h complicated aues-
ton. and so expressed himself.
..There is no excuse for our treating
any question except in the most sen-
sible. practical manner, sWereu
senator Marcn. In Europe you are
sbackled with the traditions and Gus
toms of a thousand years. You can
take down even a lettering wall WIFI

/ with us it is all experimental. Never

Sir Percy at every moment felt more
and more the charm of Roger Marcns

was senator March without appFecla-
ton of this cleaa-lfmbed, ciear-eyeo
t~cnsdishman. Half an hour passed
quickly in animated conversation pc
fore there was another arrival, put
then the stream became a torrent. III
twenty minutes the rooms were fui
and the dancers wera skimming arouno
the ballroom to the thrilling strains o.
n,lsic. Mrs. Chantrey was easily idcn-
tifed by Sir Percy. She was a big
handsome woman. with an enormous
gown of various fabrics and colors, whe
SO bIazed with diamonds that she
loked like a lighthouse.
Sir Percy was not a dancing man
nor did he ever admire dancing as an
art until he saw the soft-sfow, rhyth-
mical waltz as danced by Americans
His duties as assistant host kept him
busy. but. like a born diplomat, he
could see a number of things at ono
and pursue more than one train Of
thought at the same time. AS he talked
to men and pm OF many different
nationa1ities, ages and conditions, his
eyes wandered toward the ballroom
where the walters floated around

Jane, Sarah n Isabella, accus-
toned to these compliments. only
smiled family, but Sir Percy, looking
Lord Baudesert squarely in the eye,
remarked:
"They don't dress like American girls
because they are English girls; and,
for my part, l never could understand
how any sane man could prefer an
American to an English girl. AS for
Aunt Susan's gown, it is very hand
some n appropriate, and she should
not pay any attention to your views
on the subject"
Mrs. Vereker looked apprehensively
at Sir Percy. whom she regarded as a
superserviceable champion, likely to
get her into additional trouble.
"oh, my dear Percy!" she FASTENED
to say, Lord Baudesert's taste in
dress is perfect. / am sure 1 would
be as smart as anyone if l only knew
how, but we are at the mercy of the
dressmakers, and Lord Baudesert can't
understand that"
Lord Baudesert can understand any
thing he wants to- answered Sir Percy,
laughing.
Then Lord bduueSeTl fduSicu, lOo.
Sir Percy's determination not to he
bullied by him was an agreeable sensa-
ton to Lord Baudesert, accustomed as
he was to be approached on all tours
by the aides Of his family.
The occasion to worry his woman
kind. however, was too good for Lori
Baudesert, and he began again to his
nephew:
IT hope, my dear boy, you will
meet a friend of mine tonight. Mrs.
Chantrey, a widow, very handsome. fine
old Boston family, with something like
a billion of money
Mrs. vereker sighed. Mrs. Chantrey
was her rod of scourging, which Lord
Baudesert freely applied. Then, taking
his nephew's arm, the ambassador
walked into the next room, and out
of Mrs. vereker's hearing expressed his
true sentiments.
"You will see American women in full
force tonight he said. "They are
strange creatures, full of esprit, n
they have brought the art of dress to
the level of a fine art. Be sure to look
at their shoes and their handlerchiefs.
I am told that their stockings are
works of art. Don't mind their
screeching at you; you will get used
to it. There is great talk of their won-

Lord Baudesert, marrying an Amer
lean heiress is about the poorest in
vestment any man can make, If he has
an eve to business. In this singular
country money is never mentioned by
the bridegroom. That one word settle
ment' would be enough to make an
American father kick any man out OF
the house. The father, however,
is certain to mention money to his
prospective son-in-law. He demands
that everything his daughters huspand
has should be settled on the wife, and
generally requires that his future II
in-law's life be insured for the wife's
benefit. Then, whatever the American
father has 10 give his daughter he ties

AS soon, however, as they caught Lord
Baudesert's eye they left off dancing
and scuttled back under h wing of
their mother.
..You seem to have terrorized those
girls pretty successfully" remarked Sir
Percy; why don't you let the poor
things nave a little independence?

FROM YOUR RAINCOAT.

coat to the waste-bag. You a make
many little things which would de-
mand too much of the expensive oiled
silk, and the waterproof cloth is of
lighter weight than oilcloth, which you
probably would purchase. An apron
with a bib can be made for wash-day.
A large enveloping cap for the hair
will protect from water when windows
are cleaned.

are no longer limited to the oid-clothes
box, since it can appear in extended

FINALLY SECURE JURY
 IN NIGHT RIDER CASES

Union City, Tenn. Dec. s.--rhs jury in the case of Garrett Johnson and Ar thur cloar. alleged leaders of the Reel foot night riders. charged with the murder of Captain quentin Rankin. was completed late today. The testi- mony will be started when court con- venes tomorrow morning.
 Whom court convened today. two jurors were excused from the panel on the States motion. on the grounds that statements made by them prior to their selection as jurors disauaiified them from service. This left nine jurors in the box and for . time 1t seemed doubtful if the panel was to be filied.
 Three were finally secured. The at torneys for tho defendants. challenged the entire jury. averring that the court had. on its own motion. summoned ve- niremen from only certain districts in the county. which. they claimed, was e violation of the constitutional rights of the defendants. The motion was argued at some length before Judge Jones to be finally overruled by him.
 The oath will Dc administered to the jury tomorrow morning.
