CHAPTER XII.

The summer swooped down on New
York in the latter days of June with
a rush. as is its wont. The walls of
the new house on Riverside drive
were up to the heavy cornices, and
the roof was closed in. for Eunice had
given orders that the work was not
TO be stopped nor the original plans
one whit altered.
Nearly every afternoon she and old
John would drive up there after the
heat of the day. for. having made the
seductive acquaintance OF the Clare
mont, the old man developed a per-
feet mania for dining on its covered
piazza, and SO there was usually re-
served for the young beauty and her
rough and rugged escort his favoritc
corner-seat. whence they could see the
noble river losing itself In the haze
7ortEward.
On one vi these trips. as they drove
slowly past the new mansion, Eunice
was sure she saw Wilfrid walking
away with hasty strides. his back
towards them.
Poor fellow" she sighed How
he must miss it all. What q dreadful
change for him to go back to the life
he always hated so,"
For by dint of careful inquiries she
had found out that Stennis had ap
piled to his old firm. and was again
doing desk work drudgery from nine
to five at SIS week.
Perhars-for who may fathom tn,
heart of maid,-it was the knowl
edge of this that kept her In town nj
that summer. She often talked OF 20
ing away somewhere. discussing the
merits OF several places of which she
heard-the Berkshires, the Hamptons
and even Newport-but John Treveccs
seemed very hard to move Just then.
"Bide bit. lassie." he would say
There's a mort o time ahead O. -

Upon the sheltered deck of . south

two figures. Wilfrid Stennis and
Eunice. his wife. They had been mar
risd that morning. John Trevecca
was also on board. but in the smo-
king.room. out OF the night air.
The Highland lights on Nayesink
were flashing like twin-stars against
a pale streak OF clear autumn sunset
which threw into relief the rounded
hills OF Staten island.
His arm was around her waist, and
her head was pillowed on his shout
der, careless Of any chance beholders.
Two sentences are all we need to over
hear of their murmured conversation:
"Eunice means happy victory you
know" the girl Was saying. 1T has
certainly proved SO for US. Don't you
think so. Wilf?"
He pressed her closer to him for
answer, and then with his free hand
he pointed to the dying day. saying:
AT evening time 1t shall be light"

When purchasing utensils and dishes
for cooking. choose the size most suit

In buying roast, too small a one

To have mere than three buttons on

New things in cotton and linen are

and silk combinations have been used
to produce a number of new crepey
stnffs, lovely in texture and coloring,
and the shartung finishes are also
closely duplicated in silk and cotton,
mercerized linens. etc. Broche cotton
foulards,, initiating the foulard de-
