CHINTz NEEDS GREAT CARE
Precautions Must BE Taken When
There 10 Need Of Washing TINS
Delicate Fabric.

The housewife whose home Is flled
with dainty chintz draperies and COW
ers is often troubled by the fact that
each time her chintz Is washed It's
lovely designs grow bit lighter. un-
til they are so faint as to be almost In
distinguishable.
OF course the fading Is all due TO
the way the chintzes are laundereo'
and a little more care in that depart
ment will keep the bright colors prac-
tically the same as new.
The chintz should be soaked In cold
water made briny with plenty OF salt
and vinegar. When the brine has thor
oughly penetrated all through the
goods a little hot water should be run
into the tub; not enough to make the
tub full of warm water. just enough to
make It tepid. The washing should
not be done with q very strong acid
soap-in fact. soft soap 10 prefer
able.
When the chintz IL hung up to dry
care should be taken that 1t is not
put up in the direct sunshine. but IL
hung in the shade. When not quite
dry it should be taken down and ironed
from the wrong side. The great thing
in preserving the colors Of chintz ID
not to let heat come in contact With
che right side Of the goods. or
course the irons will have to be fairly
hot in order that the chintz may look
fresh and without wrinkles. but this
heat should be applied to the wrong
side of the goods.

At that moment we were startled
by the sudden appearance of Elaine.
She entered the room carrying in
her arms a huge bunch Of roses which
she had evidently just received.
The moment she saw Craig, how
ever, she stopped short with 2 look of
great surprise.
Her keen eye had not missed the
fact that several of her letters lay
scattered over the top of the desk.
What are you doing with my let
tiers, Mr.. Kennedy" she asked. in an
astonished tone. evidently resenting
the unceremoniousness with which he
had apparently been overhauling her
correspondence.
AS guardedly as possible, Kennedy

time. If you would be SO kind as to

He did not finish the sentence.
Aunt Josephine had already begun to
withdraw and followed.
For a moment or two Craig and
Elaine looked at each other, neither
saying q word, each wondering just
what was in the others mind.
Craig cleared his throat, the obvious
manner of covering up his emotion.

the recent return to Miss Dodge" for

She had dropped her eyes. But he
persisted, taking a newspaper clipping
from his pocket and handing it to her.

Elaine read no farther. She handed
back the clipping to Kennedy. AS her
eyes met his she noticed his express
sion of deep concern, and hesitated
with the reply she had evidently been
just about to make.
Still, as she lowered. her head, it
seemed to give silent confirmation to
the truth of the newspaper report.
Kennedy said nothing. but his eyes
continued to study her face.
He suppressed his feelings with a
great effort then, without q word,
bowed and left the room.

An hour or so later, Elaine, whose

Look, Walter" he exclaimed as he
drew out the paper from the machine.
l bent over. and together we COM
pared the rs with those in the Clutch
ing Hand letter. the paper from the
bomb and the letter which Craig had
taken from Elaine's desk.
As Craig pointed out the resem-
blances with a pencil my amaze
ment gradually changed into
comprehension and comprehension
into conviction. The meaning Of it all
began to dawn on me.
The writing was identical. There
were no differences!
While we were locked In the secre-
tary's office Bennett and Elaine were
continuing their chat on various social
topics. Suddenly, however, with q
glance at the clock, Bennett told Elaine
that he had an important letter to die
tate and that it must 60 on at once.
She said that she would excuse him
few minutes, and he pressed a but
ton to call his secretary.
OF course, the secretary did not ap-
pear. Bennett left his Office, with
some annoyance, and went into the ad-
joining room, the door to which Ken
nedy had not locked.
He hesitated q moment, then opened
the door quietly. To his establishment
he saw Kennedy, the secretary and
myself apparently making a close ex-
animation of the typewriter.
Gliding. rather than walking back
into his own Office, he closed the door
and locked it. Almost instantly fear
and fury at the presence of his hated
rival, Kennedy, turned Bennett, as II
were, from the Jekyll Of a polished
lawyer and lover Of Elaine into an in.
sanely Jealous and revengeful Mr.
Hyde.
With q look of intense horror and
loathing Elaine watched him slowly
change from the composed, calm. in
tellectual Bennett she knew and re
spected into a repulsive, mad figure Of
q man.
And his long, sinewy hand slowly
twisted and bent until he became the
personal embodiment of the Clutchine
Hand.
As Elaine, transfixed with terror
watched Benefits astounding meta
morphosis, he ran to the door leading
to the outer ONCE and hastily locked
that also.
Then. with his eyes cleaning Will
rage and his hands working In murder
Gus frenzy. he crouched nearer and
nearer, toward Elaine.
She shrank back. screaming agar
and again in terror.
He was the Clutching Hand.
