But Della | want you to wear it

'I'll stay in no place where l have

say anything about caps"
Now this was not only discOncert-

went on stolidly MASKING the potatoes,
while Helen stood uncertainty at the
door

She left the kitchen with flaming
cheeks The insolence OF that girl.
Why as soon as Warren came
Just here the hall door opened and
shut with a bang and Warren entered
with a brisk, well did she come"
Yes, but not till after three"
Yes. but oh, Warren, she is so in
solent!"
'Insolent? How"
why she won't wear a cap. She
flatly refused to-"
ooh, blame the cap, What differ
ence does it make so long as she does

But Warren I've already said she

We'll, I'll not"
But we can't afford to let her dis

And we can't afford to be without
girl, now, either. If you get rid of

How soon do you want dinner serv

with the white apron, but with def

1t was a defeat, a fragrant defeat.
Helen realized that. She had crossed
swords with Della ODonoghue and De-
liza ODonoghue had won. But Helen
resolved that it was a victory that
would not be repeated.
If Della remained, she must be dis
ciplined-quietly but firmly discip-
lined. But since she could depend on
no help from Warren, she must depend
wholly on herself. And she resolved
that the disciplining should begin with

PLA YING WITH CUPID---AFTER

with q face which bears no sign of
the malice in his heart he submits to
every torture she imposes
And bides his time.
What hour marks the beginning of
the new game where Love is the jug
gler and the plaything in his hands
is the bruised and aching heart of his
tormentor no one knows.
The inexperienced declare that that
hour never strikes. The love-scarred
know that IL struck when they were
merriest, and that in twinkling they
found themselves the sport of that
which had been their game.
The girl who is playing with Love
grows tired and bids Love 20. He
turns to depart. and there comes to
her a swift revelation of the dreari-
ness of life without him. and she com
mands him to stay.
The hour has struck; He refuses
and then she drops to her knees and
begs for that which she once scorned
Only stay she EnpIores. and you
may do with me as you will" And
Love stays. and fgr every tear that
she has made himSshed he makes her
shed a torrent
Every little pinch and bruise on his
body has made a mark on his heart
that is charged 10 her account for
which she must pay in humiliation
and anguish. No cold-blooded. calcu-
lating enemy who starts out to destroy
and lets nothing under heaven inter
rupt or change or balk or defeat his
plans, was ever more ruthless than
this little God OF Love.
Love is. as the young hope, the only
real joy life holds And only those
who have known it know the depths
OF despair and sorrow.
In the beginning IL is the ptaything:
in the end the hearts of men and wom-
en- are its toys.

Study the hat question.
Hats are so important. and in spite
of all the jokes about more careful
selection being used in the case of
hats than that OF husbands. the gentle
art OF hating is much neglected !
Women will insist on getting a hat
like that 'adora bic dream Mrs. Next

trying to fOist on some one all season

to affect and effect-and now all

Sit YOU down in front of a mirror

demand a hat that has some clear

in its treatment of blond hair. A

But if You substitute for maline good
