new mother did was to put an arm
about her and draw her closer.
The Mortimer home was only three
blocks away from Georges. 80, when
dinner was over, George declared that
he would run ov r and take look at
his own house. He wanted to wander
about the rooms a bit. to fancy how
1t would look when Fortune walked
at his side. He promised to return
within an hour. He had forgotten
many things. ordinarily important;
such as wiring his agent, his butler
and cook, who were still drawing their
wages. He passed along the street
above which was his own. He paused
for = moment to contemplate the
great banking concern. And the pres
ident of this bank was the elder
brother Of Ryanne! Lots Of queer
kinks IN the world; lots Of crooked
turnings. He passed on, turned the
corner, and strobe toward his home

he noticed two automobiles. He gave
them only a cursory glance. He took

feet in width, running to the dividing

his own A grille gate protected this
court. George had key. The gate
opened readily enough. His intention
was to enter by the basement.door.
But he suddenly paused. To his
amazement he saw just below the
library curtain thin measure Of
light. Light! Some one in the house!
He did the most sensible thing pos
sible: he stood still till the shock left
him. Some one in the house, some
one who had no earthly or heavenly
business there! Near the window
stood tubbed bay-tree. Cautiously
he mounted this, holding the ledge of
the window with his fingers. That
he did not instantly topple over with
n great noise was due to the fact
that he was temporarily paralyzed.
Here was the end of the puzzle. The
riddle of the United Romance and Ad-
venture Company was solved. At last
he understood why Mrs. Chedsoye
had sought him. why Ryanne had kid
mapped him. But for his continuing
his journey upon the German-Lloyd
boat, he would have come home a
week too late; he would have missed

wine was, after all, inconsequential. It

was seized with a horrible desire to
yell with laughter. He felt the each

swallowed violently and gnawed his
lips. They had got into his house un-
der false pretenses and had tunneled
back into the MISUNDERSTANDING
Bank, of which Horace's brother was
| president and in which he, George p.
4. Jones. always carried a large pri.
vate balance! It was the joke OF
the century.
As quietly as he possibly could, he
stepped down from his uncertain
perch. In the fine fury that followed
his ainazement, his one thought was
to summon the police at once, to con.
front the wretches in their villainy;
but once outside in the street. he

gone to parsonage; Mrs. Grundy
would prudently have suggested it.
The trivialities Of convention, how.
ever, had no place at that moment in
their little Eden. They were a law un-
to themselves
Into twenty shops they went; mo-
.diste after modiste was interviewed;
and Fortune at length found two mod
els. These were pretty, and, being
models, quite inexpensive. Once,
George was forced to remain outside
in the carriage. 1t was In front of the
lingerie shop. He put away each re-
ceipt. Just like husband upon his
honeymoon. Later, receipts would
mean as much, but from different
angle of vision, He bought so many
violets that the carriage looked as
though 1t were ready for the flower
carnival. He laughingly disregarded
her protests. 1t was the Song of
Songs.

last, dropping the bundles upon the
carriage floor. "Now, it Is your turn"

This oversight was easily remedied;

more difficulty than Fortune; ready
made suits were not the easiest things
to find in Naples. By noon, however.
he had acquired a Scotch wooden for

and till this minute I never once
thought of IT.
How they laughed! Indeed, so high
were their spirits that they would
have laughed at any inconsequent
thing. They lunched at the Gam
brinus, and George mysteriously
bought up all the pennies from the
hunchback tobacco vendor. Later, as
they bowled along the sea-front
George created small riot by fling
ing pennies to small boys and whining
beggars. At five they went aboard the

A GRACEFUL GOWN OF PLAIN
AND FIGURED CREPE
BY MAY MANTON

Crepe is one of the prettiest and
most available of fashionable mate
rails. 1t drapes most beautifully. 1t
takes lovely lines and it is service
able. This frock combines plain with
figured and is trimmed with touches
OF velvet. II IS very lovely, very at
tractive and, what will surely be a
welcome. statement, it is simple and
the making means no difficulty. The
skirt consists of only two pieces with
the trimming band arranged over it.
In this case it is made of one mate
rial above the band and another be-
low The waist is perfectly plain
one, but the collar is novel and the
little vest portions are distinctive.
In this case 1t is made with the long
sleeves that are so fashionable, but
il the cuffs are cut shorter the
sleeves become of three-quarter
length. This skirt is made short but
long ones are much worn, and for
many occasions are to be preferred.
If more elaborate gown is wanted
charmeuse satin could be used
throughout with the skirt made long,
the collar of all-over lace and the
revers of satin of a contrasting color.
If very plain dress is wanted the
trimming band can be omitted. II
treated IN thar way the. skirt would
be closed invisibly at the left side.
AS illustrated it is closed on a line
with the waist.
For the medium size the waist will

| would advise you to consult q
physician. Heavy rings under the
eyes are usually Indicative of some
internal disturbance. Probably your
liver or kidneys need attention.
For the white spots on your cheeks
steam the face at night until the
pores open. Then rub in quantity
of good cold cream and steam again
for few minutes. Then wipe off all
OF the cream and rinse in warm
water, after which wash with liquid
green soap. Rinse thoroughly and
apply a wee bit of cream to prevent
irritation. Do this about twice a week
for time, but cleanse the face thor
oughly every night. At first ! think
you will have to squeeze out the
white accommodations, after the pores
have been opened.
