fiashy restaurant. Inez said word
or two to the manager, who looked past
her at Louise with an eye the color of a
gun-barrel.
"All right" he said curtly, and made
sign to the head waiter.
Inez walked with a languid stride to a
table at the edge of circle of polished
floor She took up the menu card and
ordered with an experienced air.
"Just salad for me, whispered Louise
you're not paying for this, you little
boob, Inez returned under her breath.
Its on the management. All you have
to do is to dance-and look pleasant
Two men at nearby table, having
eyed them with interest from the moment
of their arrival, now spoke to the head
waiter, and few minutes later he brought
them up to Inez.
Sure, said Inez Muldoon rising with
languid promptitude in response to their
invitation to dance. Louise, after an in
stant's hesitation, followed her example.
She felt at first confused and stiff. This
was very different from teaching dancing
N the center of the dancing floor was
bull's-eye of colored glass; the room
was lined with mirrors; in one corner
the water of fountain cascaded over
colored lights; the orchestra was a bizarre
combination of banjos, piano, and drums
The endlessly multiplied lights, the little
glistening tables repeated in every mirror

ing up under the feet of the dancers,

When they sat down again Louise saw
that Inez Muldoons manner had changed.
She was vivacious; she had hung out all
her banners for the benefit of her COM
panion. He was man with a great deal
of nose and crinkly black hair getting thin
on the temples, and he wore huge blue
diamond on his little finger. The girls
began to eat their dinner.

But the head waiter, lowering over
the man with the diamond, looked at
her quickly with an eye like a sinister
fish; and lnez pressed her knee warningly
under the table. The cocktails were
brought
Inez and the man with the diamond
became animated. But Louise's COM
panion drank his cocktail meditatively,
smile of speculation on his rather thick
lips. He had reddish-brown eyes with
wary twinkle in them, and he wore an eX-
pensive-looking necktie after Bakst. He
regarded Inez Muldoon and her new con-
quest with tolerant knowingness; but
when he looked at Louise it was as if here
was specimen he had not yet classified.
He was, at this stage of the evening, con-
servatively friendly. Louise liked him
great deal better than the man with the

began to give way to CLEAN of interest.
He became more attentive, more alert.
By this time Inez Muldoon and the man

to draw away her hand.

Louise put her lips to the green liqueur,

The man took her in his arms and they
gided off.

to himself, shat you're the real thing"
And his red-brown eyes grew avid.
The eerie blue light streaming up
through the bull's-eye in the center of the
floor made Louise feel as if she were
dancing at the edge of a crater; the null
tiplied lights on the little tables all ran
together; the voices became louder and
meaningless; the room grew immense and
rocked to the syncopated plinkety-plink
of the banjos. Louise's feet felt heavy

could have stopped her; for, in that in

his thin overcoat, something that Louise
had lacked awoke in her-a deep and

door of the house; but the third time,
with laugh that was like sob she went
in and ran up the stairs.
Shirley had not latched the outer door
behind him. Louise pushed it open with
out sound, and stood in the narrow hall

and incredulously he stared for long in

blazed with wondering rapture that
Louise was never to forget. AS if afraid
she might vanish, he hurled himself across
the room and caught her in his arms.
"Weejy, l thought you'd never come

There dropped from Louise's soul even

men at jacques. She chung to Shirley

had never felt before.

and at the same time some
thing within her shrank and
quivered.
When they came back to the
table Inez Muldoon and her
companion were on their feet.
Come on; we're going to a
show they announced.
The man with the diamond
was paying the bill and the
head waiter was bending his
back. They all walked out
across the dancing floor.
"Son, order us two taxi
cabs" said the man with the
diamond to the first boy in
the hall.
Louise put her hand up to
her head.
Il don't believe I'll go, she
said slowly. "My head aches.
l guess I'll go home, Inez."
They gathered around her,
rallying her, accusing her of
being a gutter. Inez Muldoon
took her by the arm.
"Come upstairs a minute
while l fix my hair, Lou she
said. And Louise followed her
to a chintz-hung dressing
room. Inez seated herself in

began carefully to repair her
complexion.

she said rapidly. @Those two

Troublesome Disease PreventabIe by

Prepared by United States department of
agricultural
Watermelon growers in various Sec
tons of the country frequently suffer
loss from disease which blights the
foliage and spots the fruit. The leaves
are covered with irregular dark, dead
spots and may die before the melons
are ripe. The trouble develops on the
fruit in the form of water soaked and
later sunken spots Of varying size,
which come to have a pink center
made up of masses of the fungus
spores. As the disease progresses the
melons decay. This is anthracnose
and is caused by parasitic fungus
related to those which produce the ap-
pie bitter rot and pod spot of bean.
The fungus causing watermelon an

loupes and squashes, but probably not,

as rule, any other cultivated crops
Warm and moist or rainy weather is
especially favorable to the spread and
development Of anthracnose, and for
this reason it was more prevalent than
usual last season. The losses were
particularly severe in some districts
where melons are grown on a large
scale for carload shipments.
The department of agriculture has
found that the disease can be con-
trolled by spraying with bordeaux
mixture and trials Of this treatment
are recommended. The methods to be
employed are substantially those in use
for potatoes, cucumbers and other truck
crops. The following points should be
observed to insure success:
Use fresh homemade bordeaux mix
ture. In preparing it follow directions
exactly, as much depends on the way
the ingredients are combined. Use a
good spray pump, operated at a pres
sure of 100 pounds or more. Spray
thoroughly. The time Of application
depends on the weather and the de-
| velopment Of the crop. The disease
usually appears when the fruit is near
ly grown. Watch carefully for the
leaf spot and spray as soon as any ap.
pears. In any case, make an applica-
second week later.
Observation-Disclosures sulphate, four
pounds; quicklime, four pounds; water
to make fifty gallons.
Prepare the copper sulphate by sus-
pending it in gunny sack just below
the surface Of several gallons of wa
ter in clean barrel. When the sui
phate is dissolved, which requires three
or four hours, remove the sack and
stir into the barrel enough additional
water to make exactly twenty-five gal
Ions of the copper solution.
Prepare the lime by shaking it slowly
and thoroughly in clean barrel, strain
and add enough additional water to
make exactly. twenty-five gallons Of
lime milk. Stir thoroughly.
Pour the two. ingredients together
into another barrel or, better, directly
into the spray tank, if it will hold afif-
ty gallons. It Is highly important to
stir the mixture: very thoroughly and
to strain both ingredients before they
are combined, as otherwise clogging
Of the spray nozzles might result. Use
copper or bronze wire strainer of
eighteen meshes to the inch. Do not
put copper sulphate or bordeaux mix
ture into tin or iron vessels. Use wood
or copper containers. Mix the bor-
deaux as needed and apply at once.
It Is never so good after it has settled
Every one who uses bordeaux mix
ture frequently and in quantity will
find it convenient to keep concentrated
stock solutions on hand, as these keep
indefinitely if the water which evapo-
rates is replaced.
Build an elevated platform to hold
the barrels. Suspend fifty pounds of
copper sulphate to dissolve in fifty
gallon barrel of water. Stake fifty
pounds Of lime in another barrel. Add
water to make fifty gallons Of lime
milk. When bordeaux mixture is need
ed stir both stock barrels and take
from each as many gallons as the
formula calls for in pounds. Dilute
the copper sulphate in one barrel and
the lime milk in another, each with
half the water, and let the two run
together into the strainer of the spray
tank.
