LAUNDERING THE FRILLS
Pow Of 5astins Stitches Run Near
Outer Edge Saves Much Trouble
In ironing.

Before putting in the laundry the
one-side plated frills and frilled ecl.
lars which are SO pretty and popular
and yet so hard to do up" run a row
of basting stitches about an inch from
the outer edge. That y.ll hold the
plaits in position while washing and
will save time and trouble later In
Ironing. This is especially true IL you
are not the proud possessor of a pat
ent plating iron
These fFills, by the way. should.
when possible, be made separate from
the blouse and buttoned, hooked or
pinned on, so that they do not have
to go so often to the tub. They real
ly do not get dirty so quickly as the
more exposed parts Of the blouse, and
they are a great nuisance usually to
wash and iron, even with the precau-
tion mentioned. II you buy a ready
made blouse with frills stitched on. II
is an easy matter to rip them of and
supply buttons and buttonholes.

| She couldn't tell in what direction ii
might not strike out a spark of horror
next
The rustic of final departure was all
over the house The people in the
box were stirring and beginning to
stand up; and Flora saw Kerr turn
and look at her. She wanted some
one to stand between herself and
Kerr, and it was to Harry that she
large and adequate. but because she
thought she saw in him an inclination
to step into that very place where
she wanted him. She saw he was
little sullen, and though she didn't
suspect him quite of jealousy, she Won
dered If he had not right to blame
her for the appearance OF Irritation
that she and Kerr must have pre-
scented. Then how much more might
he blame her for what she had actual
ly done-for deliberately showing the
sapphire to Kerr The very thought
of it frightened her. She talked the
harder, she even took hold of Harry's
arm to be sure of kee ping him there
between her and what she was afraid
of. as they came out on the sidewalk
and stood waiting in the windy night
for the approach of their carriage
lights.
Row upon row of street lamps
fiared in the travelling gusts. The
midnight noises of the city were at
their loudest; and half their volume
seemed to be a scattered chorus of
hoarse voices yelling all together like
pack of wolves. What was this fresh
quarry of the press. Flora wondered,
that made it give tongue so hideously?
She had stopped her head to the
carriage door, when Harry stopped
and took one of the damp papers from
crier in the pack. She saw the head
line. 1t covered half the sheet-the
great figure that was offered for the
return of the Chatworth ring.

She felt of the stone. She drew off
her glove and tried to look at it in the
dim light, but couldn't get a CLEAN out
OF 1t. She was as impatient for the
lights to go up that she might secret
ly be cheered by its wonder, as she
had been that afternoon to get back
from the luncheon and make sure il
was still in the drawer. She must
see 1t in spite of Clara at her right
hand, whose little chiseled profile
might turn upon her at any moment
a full face of inquiry.
She held her left hand low in the
shadow of her chair; and e, as the
lights went up again, there was any
change in the sapphire, it was merely
sharper brillianee, as if, like an eye.
1t had moods, and this was one of its
moments of excitement In its ex-
traordinary luster it seemed to pos
sess beauty that could not be val
ued; and she wanted to hold it up to
Kerr, to see If she couldn't startle him
out OF his mood-to see if he wouldn't
respond to it, yes, there is more in it
that you can touch"
She turned to him with the daring
fash of timid spirits 1t was so sharp
a motion that he started instantly
from his reverie to meet it, but his
alaerity was mechanical She felt
the smile he summoned was slow. as
If he returned, from a long distance,
a little painfully to his present sur
roundings.
The intermezzo was playing, and to
speak under the music he leaned so
close his shoulder touched her chair
Through that narrow space between
them, almost beneath his eyes, she
moved her hand-a gesture so slightly
emphasized as to seem accident. He
had started to speak, but her motion
seemed to stop his tongue. He looked
hard at her hand, and something vio-
lent in his intentness made her clutch
the side of the chair. Instantly she
met his look, so fiereely, cruelty chal-
longing, that it took her like a blow
For a moment they looked at each
other, her eyes wide with fright, his
narrowed TO a glare under the terrible
intentness of his brows. What had
she done?
She was as shaken as if he had
seized hold of her. If he had snatched
the ring off her finger she wouldn't
have been more shocked The whole
box must be transfixed by him, and
the whole house be looking at nothing
but their little circle of horrori She
was ready for it. She was braced
for anything but the fact which ac-
tually confronted her-that no one
had noticed them at all. 1t was mon
strous that such a thing could have
been without their knowing! But
there was no face in all the orchestra,
the crowded galleries, or the tiers
Of boxes to affirm that anything had
happened; no face in their own box
had even stirred, but Clara's, and
that had merely turned from profile to
the full, family inquiring, mild, and
