widely experienced, and speaks French.

interest on the part OF Americans of

finance the European relief project. En-
tertainmenta of various kinds and other
means Of raising money are being ar
ranged at many places and in all sec
tons.

name after another announced. The
mingled perfume of flowers was suf-
locating, and the gay orchestra music
came to her like mockery.
VIII 1t ever end? she wondered.
and glanced YEARLY at the line TO
see II any more guests were arriving.
A sudden wave OF color dyed her face
and then receded. leaving her like
marble. Coming in the door was
Luther Kerton and a strange girl whom
she surmised to be Miss Danley.
why didn't 1 realize he would be
here? He's a friend OF DR.. Connought,
and might have known he'd come"
She greeted them mechanically when
her turn came. She saw Mr.. kerton' 5
keen eyes sweep her in a searching
glance.
She held herself erect. a smile on her
lips, while her thoughts were: AT any
rate he doesn't find me wearing his
roses"
When her duty on the reception COM
mittee was over. it was a relief 10 Mar
garet to be cornered by the mother Of
one of her pupils. She was surprised to
find herself giving intelligent answers to
Mrs. Warrens questions about Nellie's
English themes. II was queer what one
could do.
She resolutely kept her eyes turned
away from Mr.. Kerton, though not for
one single second did she lose conscious
ness of his presence.
Covertly she studied Grace Danley,
who was making her stately way about
the room. Something in her cold, self
satisfied elegance depressed Margaret
with a sense OF her own loneliness.
Still the music and hum OF voices
surged about her.
When the crowd clears away a little
from the door 1 will go upstairs she
decided. again conscious OF a feeling of
trembling faintness. Il guess il would
have been better II had gone down to
dinner
She was leaning YEARLY against the
mantel when she saw, with a feeling of
desperation. that Luther KertOn was
coming toward her. There was no chance
for escape.
It's so close and crowded in here let's
go out on the campus, Miss Semeron."
Margaret's brown eyes pleaded protes-
tation. What should she say? How
should she say Il?

But Kerton was not waiting for any
thing TO be said. Even when outside.
Margaret could not speak; that firm
hand on her arm seemed TO dominate
her, and they crossed the grounds in ST.
Ience.
"Oh, why does he make things 20
hard - she wondered bitterly.
Other couples were strolIing about the
moonlit campus, and the soft strains OF
a waltz floated out to them. They sat
down on a bench.
Margaret murmured something about
the large number OF guests. in a piteous
attempt to steer the conversation into
safe channels, though she knew he had
not come out there TO talk about the re-
ception.
Il must congratulate him on his en-
gagement-oh, how shall I do it nat
urally?''
At that moment she was startled BY
KertOn's voice: You know the old say

brings another soon? I trust that may
come true in my case. Margaret I re-

Danley."
Her moment Of weakness was over now,
and in its place was outraged pride-the
SemerOn pride!
For a moment he stared at her in
blank smazement, then a light broke
over his face.
Why, it is my brother Lawrence who
is engaged to Grace Danley. HIS initials
are the same as mine. Does that explain
why you have avoided me all the even

DYE COST UP 100 PER CENT:
CLOTHING PRICES TO FOLLOW

New York. Aug. 1.-THE price OF fall
and winter clothing probably viii be ad-
vanced from 10 to 3 per cent. owing to
the fact that the European war has
made it impossible for the American
clothing dealers to get sufficient aniline
dyes. Manufacturing plants in this coun-
try can produce only about 20 per cent
OF the amount of dye needed.
America had on hand only a limited
supply of dyes when war was declared
between Germany and Russia. Suspen-
sion of the traffic of German liners and
the closing down OF some of the dye
plants In Germany mean that no dyes
will come from the other side for many
months.
The price OF the dyes on hand here
already has risen 100 per cent.

U. S. sol MS A WARNING
NOTE TO ORANGE GROWERS
ALLEGATION OF SHIPMENTS OF
FRUIT UNDER FALSE
DESCRIPTIONS

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 1.-The de-
partment Of agriculture has discovered
that certain oranges are being shipped
under false descriptions in the bills of
lading or invoices az to their variety.
The department has examined some OF
the shipments and las found that
while these ORANGES are being sold to
consipnccs as being a better variety
than they are, the actual boxes OF or
anges are either not labeled at all or
are not labeled In accordance with the
variety mentioned in the records Of
sale. Some of these oranges are rep
resented. for example as being Nalen-
cias, and examination shows them To
be another variety
The matter is being carefully inves-
tigated with a view 10 determining the
rights of the department under the food
and drugs act To take action against
such shipments. I'm the meantime, job
bcrs and others are advised to examine
oranges packed in boxes either unlab-
cled or without any distinctive varietal
DESIGNATION in order 10 satisfy them
selves whether these oranges are as
represented by the producer or shipper.
Similarly retail purchasers who are
in the habit of buying oranges accord
ing to variety should assure themselves
that the oranges are as represented by
the dealer
