PROLOGUE.

The ONCE Of foreman OF the Jury IN

whose qualifications lay in his absolute

man of tenacious tendencies, is the law

ter1ously in his home. In presenting
the Ease to the jury Deake Gilbert, the
prosecutor, explains the facts In detail,
and the evidence all points to the guilt
Of the accused. The foreman. home
ward bound, assists Barbara Frayne,
q young horsewoman. and unwtllingly
listens to a declaration on the Emory
case. Barbara believes Miss Emory
to be innocent. The foreman visits
the Of the murder. Viewing
the home from the outside, he over
hears Madeleine Mapes, the housekeep-
er. endeavoring to persuade Betty
Field, another servant, to forget all
about a blue skirt she had e the
former put in the furnace. At this mo-
ment Barstow's assistant, Mr.. Hunt,
visits the women in an effort to get
them to leave the neighborhood where
their testimony might injure the ac-
cused. The trial opens. Lambert forces
valuable testimony from the architect
who had drawn the plans for the Shaw
house. Gilbert produces evidence that
forged Shaw checks were made out to
the order Of Alice Emory. When court
adjourns Lambert gets a message to call
up % Pollicet and is told by Miss
Frayne that she occupied Miss Emory's
room on the night of the murder and
that Miss Emory was not there. Soon
thereafter Lambert is approached in
a dark lane by a man who Lambert be-
lieves is Barstow's assistant, Hunt. but
who calls himself Gilbert's assistant
and gives the name Corning. This
nan tries to worm from Lambert his
reason for desiring to leave the Jury, but
fails. Lambert meets the real Corning
later. Barstow requests a delay In the
court proceedings because of Illness,

catching up to Miss Frayne on the way

 Have the melon well chilled. then split in two lengthwise and with vegetable scoop or tablespoon, using rotary motion, cut out individual cones of luscious scarlet flesh. Arrange on low glass dish or platter, on a bed of grape leaves or on individual dessert plates. Another way is to cut the melon crosswise in slices about an inch thick. Remove the rind with little cooky or vegetable cutter, stamp into diamonds, circles or hearts and ar range on a bed of leaves. Another popular way where the melon is to be brought to the table whole is to take long bladed sharp knife, insert the blade near the top of the melon, then cut diagonally down toward the other end, leaving four or five inches as a base. Remove the knife and again in sert the point three inches to the left of where the knife was first inserted and cut diagonaIy toward the far end of the first cut, thus making a saw tooth. Continue to cut up and down in this way until you have gone com pIeteIy around the melon. when the teeth can be readily pulled apart, This is the best way to cut melon at picnic or clambake.

 Take all the red pulp and juice of a ripe melon and to every two quarts a1- low a half pound of sugar. Flavor with lemon if desired. Freeze. When half frozen add the stiffly whipped whites of two eggs and continue freezing.

 MELON time extends over much 2 longer period these days than 1t did even ten years ago. The transit facilities and careful distribution and oversight of cars now covering the out put of every state in turn enable the
 melon lover to begin his feast early in June and keep it up into September or even later.
 The national taste for watermelon might lead us to think it a native of the soil. but Asia and Africa both lay prior claims to being it's original habi- tat This, however, is certain-the In dians of the southwest and the de- scendants of old diff dweIlers are as enraptured with the melon as the ne gro himself.
 While the energy or heat producing value of the watermelon is not as high as the musknelon. it is one of the most wholesome and refreshing of natures S purifiers If unripe it is apt to produce colic, but thoroughly ripened it's juices carry away with them feverish tenden- cies and are considered beneficial in their effect on liver, kidney and blad- der.

 It is a rather difficult matter to judge a melon because the edible portion is so far from the outside. Weight is the first consideration, the juice of a full ripe melon betokening it's richness. Some judges of melons proceed by pressing the sides together. If a crispy sound is heard the chances are that the melon is ripe and sweet, while another well known expert states that his fla vorite method is to lay melon on it's back, white. side up, then scratch the skin of the lightest part. If this seems tender and the melon is yet firm to the pressure of the finger, so that it is diff cult to pierce it with the nail, it prob ably will prove a good melon. The

Fillet Crochet Makes Quaint Cap

WHERE seems to be an endless va
 riety of uses to which hI1et crochet can be applied. A large square of this crochet could be made into a very charming boudoir cap. A square with a rose pattern would be very pretty, although the extremely conventional designs are equally good.
 The square should be made with fifty or sixty codonnet, as it will be more attractive if the mesh is not too fine. A picot edging may be added to the edge of the square, or it can merely be finished with two rows of the plain mesh.
 When making this cap a casing is stitched around the inside of the square. forming circle by eliminating the cor ners- An elastic Is run through the casing; then the corners are wired with fine millinery wire, so as to make them stand out. The front and back corners

 The skirt is quite original in its draping- It is arranged in loose plaits to the band and so manipulated that where the border edge overlaps the front seam the material forms a sort of cascade drapery. This means that the front is elevated above the sides and that the hem line is uneven. A par tfcu1ar feature is the double belt of the green border. which is separated by a flat piece at the back and drawn over the hips to contine the material there about This arrangement imparts slim line which might otherwise be lacking.

 Now some information regarding the new fabrics. French serge is revived in many pf the new frocks and suits. It makes an; ideal material for hard service wear and it also is very well liked for sefnidress models. It com pines admirably with satin and also with braid.

We shall see it in novelty weaves and all manner of widths and used in a variety of ways. old and new, but always Attractive.

Attitude of Woman Toward Her Job

STTE1E women of today are not inter
 ested in their homes, because they have been taught by their mothers to consider all work in connection there with drudgery. whereas housekeeping today is a science.' asserts Mrs. Heath, president of the Housewives league of New York city.
 If the woman of our day would only recognize that marriage is business concern of which she forms a responsi-- b1e partner. it being her function to ad- minister the funds which her husband provides for the making of the home, she would assuredly learn to qualify as home administrator in the true sense of the word.
 'AII the problems of commerce are hers to deal with and solve under the new conditions of this century, in which she occupies the position of con- sumer rather than that of producer. Let her accept her new role as an >in- telligent consumer, taking an active fn- terest in market values, food conditions and all economic problems of the day. uniting with her co-workers to obtain organized purchasing power and or ganized consumption. the most urgent home needs of this age.''
 Mrs Heath maintains that, although women during the past years have housewives. who form the greatest class of all the women of the world, have hardly felt the stir of new ac- tivities and have been satisfied like dreamers half awake to listen to the catchwords of the day-pure food, eco nomicai buying. poisonous preserva- tives tainted milk. etc.-without at tempting to investigate their true meaning or in what measure they were nersonally concerned herewith.

WHEN the lacquer of your brass bed w becomes tarnished don't send it away to be reIacquered and pay about S2O for it. Just follow these rules and save your money.
 First rub the brass thoroughly with a piece of flannel dipped in whiting; then take 10 cents worth of shelIac dissolved in enough alcohol to make it thin. and apply with a small brush.
 This can be done quickly and easily and will make the bed look as pretty as if you had sent it to the factory.
