Bother That Puck of Shakespeare
was right: What fools these mortals
be, she was very glad that she pos
sessed a true sense of humor, spiced
with harmless audacity. What a
dreary world it must be to those who
did not know how and when to
taught They talked of the daring OF
the American woman: vino but a
French woman would have dared
what she had this night? The taxi
cab She laughed. And this man
was wax In the hands of any pretty
woman who came along! SO rumor
had it. But she knew that rumor
was only the attenuated ghost of
Ananias, doomed forever to remain
on earth for the propagation of in
accurate whispers. Wax. Why, she
would have trusted herself in any
situation with man with those eyes
and that angle of jaw 1t was all
very mystifying. "Follow him; see
where he goes" The frank discus
sion, then, and the calm dismissal
We're but a woman's discrimination.
And he had gone to Flora Desimone's.
The carriage stopped before a hand
some apartment-house in the Avenue
de Wagram. The unknown got out,
gave the driver his fare, and rang
the concierge's bell The sleepy guar
dian opened the door, touched his
gold braided cap in recognition, and
led the way to the small electric
lift. The young woman entered and
familiarly pushed the button. The
apartment in which she lived was
on the second floor; and there was
luxury everywhere, but luxury sub
dued and charmed by taste. There
were fine old Persian rugs on the
floors. exquisite oils and water colors
on the walls; and rare Japanese silk
tapestries hung between the doors.
In one corner of the liVing-room was
bronze jar filled with artificial
cherry blossoms; in another corner
near the door hung a fiat bell-shaped
piece of brass-a Burmese gong
There were many photographs ranged
along the mantel-top; celebrities,
musical. artistic and literary, each
accompanied by a liberal expanse of
| photographic ink.
She threw aside her hat and wraps
with that manner of inconsequence
which distinguishes the artistic tenn
permanent from the thrifty one, and
passed on into the coy dining-room.
The maid had arranged some sand
witches and a bottle of light wine.
| She ate and drank. while intermit-
tent smiles played across her merry
face. Having satisfied her hunger,
she opened her purse and extracted
the banker note. She smoothed it out
and laughed aloud.
ooh. IL only he had taken me for
ride in the taxicab!" She dubbed
again with merriment.
Suddenly she sprang up. as If in
spired, and dashed into another room,
study. She came back with pen
and ink. and with a celebrity that
came of long practise, drew five
straight lines across the faint violet
| face Of the bank-note. Within these
lines she made little dots at the top
and bottom of stubby perpendicular
strokes. and strange interlined hero
glyphics. and sweeping curves, all of
which would have puzzled an Egyptol-
ogist If he were unused to the ways OF
musicians Carefully she dried the
composition, and then put the note
away. Some day she would confound
him by returning it.

are studying for the opera, per-
haps?"
Yes, that is it
The eagerness of the admission con-
WINGED him that she was not. Who
she was or whence she had come no
longer excited his interest. He had
the Calabrian's address and he was
impatient to be off.
Good might" He rose.
Monsieur is not gallant"
81 was in my youth he replied,
putting on his hat.
The bald rudeness OF his departure
did not disturb her. She laughed
softly and relievedly. Indeed there
was in the laughter an essence of
mischief. However, if he carried
away mystery, he left one behind.
AS he was hunting for a taXicab the
waiter ran out and told him that he
had forgotten to settle for the wine.
The lady had refused to do SO. Court
landt chuckled and gave him a ten
franc piece. In other days, in other
circumstances, he would have liked to
know more about the unknown who
scrubbed notes on composition paper.
She was not an idler in the Rue
Royale and it did not require that in
definable intuition which comes of
worldly wiseness to discover this fact.
She might be a friend of the Desimone
woman, but she had stepped out of
another sphere to become so. He
recognized the quality that could ad-
just itself to any environment and
come out scathelesS. This was un-
deniably an American accomplish

Frenchwoman. He dismissed the
problem from his mind and babe the

she engaged a carriage. So that was

moment she had rebelled, but her
curiosity was not to be denied. Be-
sides, of what use was friendship if
not to be tried? She knew nothing of
the riddle, she had never asked a

a trunk tray. with this man s
name scrawled across it, and
upon this flimsy base she had
builded a dozen romances each OF
which she had ruthlessly torn down
to make room for another; but still
the riddle lay unsolved. She had
thrown the name into the converse
ton many a time, as one might throw
a bomb into a crowd which had NO
chance to escape. Fizzlesi The man
had been calmly discussed and calm

Dressing for the Theatre
My Dear Miss Doom:

My Dear Miss Doom:
tbronpb vo,1r wonderful column by
wednesday what would be best to
ear to one of the New York Theatres,
an evening dress of messaline, low
cut and having short sleeves, CLOAK,
brown coat suit. or white serge
suit. I never went to a large theatre
and am at loss to know what TO
wear fhlEDA ",
Either the white serge suit or the
dark brown one, with pretty lace
or silk. or even dainty lingerie
blouse, would be in better taste than
the blue evening dress, as you Will
probably make the trip in train. a
decollette gown of so light snaae
would look queer unless covered by
a long evening cloak. And an evening
cloak wouldn't look right with nat.
And you wouldn't want to go to New
York bareheaded. AND, so there you
are. Wear one of the suits, be sure
your gloves are spotless and run
along and have a good time

There is no doubt that the trans

'ong shoulder seam, slightly gath

Good Dressing

Some girls think that dressing well
is a matter of pillng on the finery.
Mother wears her old suit one more
year, so that daughter may have
willow plume on her fall hat. Father
has his shoes resoled and wears
much darned hose so that Miss
Vanity can have patent leather pumps
with imitation cut-steel buckles and
thin silk stockings.
While mother is doing the dishes
daughter is upstairs polishing her
tingernails. and when mothers tired
head Is throbbing with the thought
of work to be done daughter is cover
ing her poor, silly, empty little head
with frizzes and rats and curls and
puffs, till 1t looks like a garden gone
to seed.
AS for the clothes. when Miss
Vanity has completed her toilet she
is so dazzling with flashy colors and
cheap jewelry that you almost have to
wear goggles to look at her without
hurting your eyes.
The worst of it is that after all her
trouble, instead of saying, How
pretty she looks" people just nudge
one another as she goes by and say:
Doesn't she look silly?"

For Fancy Workers

The new mosaic filet embroidery,
though but just introduced, is al
ready immensely popular, and one
sees it applied to every conceivable
object from sofa pillows and baby
carriage robes to pin cushions, dress
er scarfs, etc.
1t consists in enclosing the woven
pattern in any square meshed lace
by working it over and over with
silk braid about one-eighth of an
inch wide, which is known as filet
braid, and which, at first glance,
looks like baby ribbon. 1t is, how
ever, very much more soft and pliable
to the touch than any ribbon.

Trust one of these will suit you.

BIuing for Gray Hair

Dear Miss Doom:

white hair. Is this true? If SO, please
tell me how to use it, and win the
thanks of GRAY HAIR.
After your hair has been shampooed
rinse it in water to which few drops
of bluing have been added. Be care
full not to use too much, as this will
make it weird color. The right
quantity will make your hair clear,
pretty white.

Honey Vinegar

Add a pound and a half of strained
honey to a gallon of water. Then
keep it in a warm place for few
months and it will be ready. If it is
not strong enough add more honey.
Three pounds of honey to gallon
of water is good proportion. While
not suited for all purposes, in the
making of salads and for ordinary
table uses there is nothing that can
be compared to honey vinegar.

how to do this. I would not like to

piece it will not scratch. Then rub
the places vigorously with flannel
dipped in chloroform.

way to make an oatmeal bag for the

Would you mind telling me how it
was done? My face gets SO chapped
from the wind, and l hate to use
cold cream. OATMEAL.
1t is very simple. You place an
ounce or two of oatmeal in the water
in which you wash your face. 1t will
smooth and soften the skin. Do not
use the same bag the second time, Of

make admirable jelles. Fully ripe,
but not overripe, fruit is required for
this purpose. All fruit must be care

Acid fruits make the best jellies.

with any fruit which will jell. Take
equal parts of the fresh fruit and
granulated sugar. Mash the fruit or
put it through a fruit press or colan-
der and stir with wooden spoon I'M
til all the sugar is dissolved; then
pour into glasses and let it stand un-
