tage of the fact that she is in your
house to pay her attention and to fat

head, and now you throw the blame
on her!"
Tom Marshall shrugged his shout

We'll, IL she didn't like 1t l wouldn't
do I'll" he insisted.
Good h%eavensl" calculated his wife.
Are men like that? Is that the
way they talk Of women-of decent,
pure women?"
Again her husband laughed. Your
ignorance of men and of ONE is
colossal" he sneered.
Il know many good women, and I
know myself" she affirmed stoutly,
and l know-youl"
II hear the sneer In that last SEN
tenoe my LADY," exclaimed the angry
man. And l suppose you think l de-
serve 1t! You expected to marry a
man who was a creature of your
imagination, a kind of Sir-Galahad-
Lord-Fauntleroy who would think only
Of his soul and never of his body.
And because you didn't find me that
kind you feel that you have fallen
into the clutches of a brute and a
beast. I'm a mere man, that's all I
am-do you hear? No better and no
worse than hundreds of other hus-
bands whose wives think they are
pretty lucky to be so comfortably
married. You say you know yourself,
and l suppose you think you do. So
do I, and,I know you are the coolest
bit of humanity that ever lived; with
out feeling, except along the high and
lofty lines laid out by yourself-and
ideals no mortal man could live up
to. Perhaps II you were a bit DIFF
ferent l might be, too. There! take
that or leave 1t as you pleased"
He flung himself from the room,
while she stood white and shaken.
Yet ten minutes later, when Ruth
anne to the door to ask If it was not
time to down and light the tree, the
mother said cheerfully: YES, tell
your father that we are all ready for
him. Call Miss Drayton, too" And,
as the child obeyed, the woman
strengthened her faltering will by the
thought, TT is for the children's sake!"
1t was for their sake, too, that, a
week later, she dismissed the COVER

"Oh, I see; but aren't you going

smilingly.

"and Philadelphia is still nearer. Ned

Tom returned as expected on Mon
day evening. His wife had bought
tickets for a lecture which she wished
the girls to attend, and to which the
governess accompanied them. The
mistress of the house was thus alone
by eight o'clock. She had planned for
this, as she would prefer that there
should be nobody else at home when
her husband returned. 1t was half
past eight when she heard his latch
key turn in the lock. She sat In the
library while he closed the front door,
hung his hat and coat on the rack,
and came down the hall to the room
in which she waited. Then she rose
to meet him. He started slightly at
sight for her.
"Why, Louise! I was wondering
where you all were. Didn't you hear
me come In? Where are the girls?"
He spoke unembarrassedly, and, as
his wife looked at him, she wondered
If long practice had accustomed him

Artificial SILK.

, Much artificial silk is made from
cotton or pine wood pulp completely
dissolved. This forms a slightly viscid
fluid which is pressed through fine
holes. The strands coming from these
holes, after being solidiied and pur-
fed, have an appearance very similar
to genuine silk, but they are solid in
stead of hollow, about one-eighth as
strong as real silk and very much
weaker when wet. There are several
different kinds made by different proc.
esses, but none of them are as strong
or as durable as genuine silk and none
will endure heat and moisture as we'll
as real silk. Most of them would be
ruined by moistening them and at
tempting to press them with a hot
iron.
