 and fall in love with herb 1 That has nothing to do with it, he said, resentful that Lady Diana's name
 had been brought into 1t. 'It has everything" she asserted. ''Very we'll, then, have it your own way,' he said. eff I've been fool I'll stop in time There's the truth and that 1s-goodby." To the relief of Brancaster a servant entered and gave him a note, which he saw at once had been written by Beverley.
 q was to ask your lordship to read it at once,'' the servant said and with drew.
 With a muttered apology Brancaster tore open the envelope, and then, hay ing partially read the note, looked keenly at Mrs. D'Aquila. About me?'' she asked. "Yes,'' he answered.
 EPray read it,'' she said with shrug of indifference
 Brancaster read aloud:
 fI do not wish to seem personally discouFteous to your guest, and I am very sensible of the consideration due to the feelings of woman, but trust her visit today will be short one, and I must ask you to let her understand, with as little offense as may be, that now you are recovered, her visits here must cease. I hoped her own common sense would have prompted her not to call again; but, since she has, you must make it clear that cannot receive a lady whose exact position and relation to yourself cannot explain to my granddaughter Diana"
 The woman stopped him with a fu- rious gesture.
 Thanks" she said savagely. ''So it's once again Df? I am to be humi1iated for Dill Insulted for-Di! Thrown over by you-turned out by him-for- D1! Very well! Tell him what I tell you, that when next we meet I trust shall be able to explain correctly the precise nature of my position and rela- tton-to-him-and to you-and to-Df!'

 Suit coats hang loosely from the shoulders, are rounded below the waist at the back and tilt up in front.
 It is season of luxuries in dress garnitures, and gold and silver silken cords and jet will be much used.
 The tunic may be treated in so many ways that every woman may adopt this most fashionable detail.
 Evening toilettes are a com bina- ton of sheerest tulles or mousseline, exquisite Iaces and bands of fur.

CHAPTER NIL

''The Whip and Lady DiI" @H HERE was only laughter and
 jovial clinking of glasses as Beverley entertained the hunt @ at breakfast in the great hall of Fa1conhurst, while outside the hounds were being prepared for a big meet The men, in their red coats and full hunting fttogs,'' seemed so many figures stepped out of the frames of the portraits on the walls behind than of the almost princely family of Bev- er1ey.
 But at one end of the table little withdrawn from their neighbors the Rev Werner Has1am and Captain Sar- torfs were talking. The clergyman looked anxiously up and down the board.
 seWhere's Brancaster?' he asked, his uneasy conscience troubling him.
 But Sartoris was perfectly at his ease, and the others anxious tones passed by him.
 "Oh, he's driven down to the sta tion,'' he returned in a casual tone sHe's been fussfng all the morning About-a parcel or something he wanted from town
 Hes quite recovered?" asked Has lam.
 '"They think so. Talks of hunting to- day." said Sartor1s.
 'eBut his mtnd-his memory?" the uneasy clergyman asked.
 Sar4or1s shrugged his shoulders in their well fitting red coat.
 f'Why?' he asked.

PARK THEATRE

The patrons of the Park theatre are looking forward with pleasureab1e an- ticipation to the forthcoming engage ment of Mollfe Williams and her own company of burlesque stars which opens Thursday. This is her second season as a star and Max Spiege1 has surrounded her with the greatest equipment that money can buy. Three sets of scenery are used and they are said to be revelations of scenic art. The chorus is said to be the handsom- est ever seen in burlesque and is com- posed of sixteen show girls and eight dancing girls. There will be daily matinees.
 Madame Nazimova, undoubtedly one of the most rarely gifted of players, is this season presenting her latest sue cess, Bella Donna,'' which scored so heavily in New York last year. It is remarkable play, an adaptation from Robert Kitchens well known novel Of the same name by James Bernard Fa- gan, and from the actress standpoint a remarkable part, for it permits her greater scope to show her artistry than any role in which she has yet been seen. Bella Donna IS unquestionably one Of the big successes of the year and with Nazimova in the title role, will be presented at the Park, Nov. 19.

There are no longer any territories
out Of which new states may be Gre
ated in continental United States. Ar
iona and New Mexico were the last
of them. Tt does not follow, however,
that the formation of new states by
the division of some of those already
in existence is impossible. 1t has long
been regarded as a probability that
Texas would some day be cut up into
two or more independent states, but
the older Texas becomes the farther
away does this probability SEEM
Strange to say, since the last of the
territories were taken into the Union,
not Texas. not one of the large Pacific
states, not one of the trans Missouri
or middle western states, but a. New
England state, and that the most east
ern of the sisterhood, was the first to
talk of division. Very likely the idea
of giving Names Aroostook district
Independent sovereignty was merely
transient one; at all events, it appears
to have been dropped. But hardly less
surprising or interesting is it to find
that a part of Florida is looking to-
ward the possible setting up of a sep
arate establishment.
Florida has peculiar geographical!
coniguration. If a line on the map be
drawn north and south along the west
ing Tampa bay, it will be found to
cut off a strip in the northern part
Of the state of fully ten counties in
width. The counties in this over
hanging western section of the state
number more than ten, of course. They
are Escambia, Santa Rosa, Walton,
Holmes, Washington. Jackson. Cal
houn, Gadseen, Liberty. Franklin,
Leon, Wakulla and Jefferson-thirteen
and these constitute West Florida,
the section that some propose shall
become a separate state of that name.
These counties have an aggregate area
of 1880 square miles. Anticipating
that objection might be raised to the
admission to the Union of the proposed
state on the ground of its smallness,
the secretary of the Pensacola Com
mercial Association recently compiled
some statistics going to show that
West Florida would exceed in area
Vermont, New Hampshire Connect
cut, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, New
Jersey, Maryland or Delaware, while in
population it would exceed that of Ari-
IONA, Delaware, Nevada or Wyoming.
Moreover, so these statistics show, the
new state would have a greater coast
.ine-excluding the shore line of bays
than any one of thirteen Of the
twenty seacoast states Of the Union.

Our Estimate of the
Modern Old Maid.

Ordinarily the unmarried woman is
classified in the same category with
the mother-in-law, the stove pipe, and
such other recalcitrant unmanageable
things as may be considered legitimate
stock-in- trade for amateur jokesmiths
and vinegar and water cynics.
We are accustomed from early child
human, but somewhat different and
apart from the woman who is married
We. somehow or other, acquire the
notion that they would have married
If they could, and that, having failed,
they are disappointed, desolated and
soured.
On the other hand, in our estimate
Of the unmarried man we are striking
~ kind. He is supposed to be by choice
free from care and ever happy and
jolly.
The old maid suffers shameful in
justice.
It Is not fair to assume that she
could not marry II she would, at the
same time assuming that the bachelor
would not though he could
Whatever may have been the char
acter Of old maids in the past, which
literature and tradition have obscured
In a mist Of prejudice. it is certain
that the old maids of this day, as a
rule, are not inferior but superior
women.
In freshness of beauty and vivacity.
it must be conceded, they surpass, as
a rule, married women of equal age.
In intellectual attainment and refine
ment, as well as in executive ability
and physical activity, they easily lead
their sisters. who are better provided
for perhaps. but handicapped by babies
and endless home and social duties.
The typical unmarried woman, to-
day, is a woman with mission Of her
own. She is generally educated above
the average level and her views, her
sympathies and her purposes are
broader than the average woman's
scope.

The President and
the Office.

IL President Wilson adheres to his
position to pass all the applications FOR
appointments to the members of the
cabinet, and there is every reason to
believe that he will do this, he will
save himself a great deal of worry
and trouble and will in addition to
this have a much larger amount Of
time to devote to public business.
When a new administration comes
into power accompanied by a change
or party, 1t Is reasonable to suppose
that for the first year or two at least
one-hah of the presidents time is oc-
cupied in filling offices. This is wrong.
In most instances. except large
places like cabinet portfolios and for
eign appointments, the president is not
personally acquainted with the appli-
cant and has to rely on the judgment
of other people. If this is true it
may be just as well to let the other
people do the appointing and shoulder
the responsibility.
Every step that Woodrow Wilson
takes strengthens the belief that he
is going to make great president.
