She Chooses Her Gowns the Same
 1T choose my gowns the same way, she said, c1amly.
 You mean that you let Mrs. k. choose them, too?'
 No not Mrs. R.; I don't care so much for her taste in clothes, but Louise, you know has the clothes sense to perfection, and I try never to buy or plan q gown without asking her advice"
 Don't you want to have any indi- viduality?"
 "I don't think that prevents. She doesn't select the thing. She mere ly guides my taste just as Mrs. k. does"
 The mutual friend looked even more mortified.

How Madge Diplomatically Contrived To Make Mrs. Graham Remove
 Her Coat.

do not know when simple prOb- lem has so perplexed me as did the dilemma I faced while sitting op- Dosite my mother-in-laW in Fraunce's Tavern.
 With the obstinacy of spoiled child the elder Mrs. Graham was per sisting in sitting with her heavy cloak on while she ate her luncheon, al- though our ta ble was next to the big, cid fireplace in which a wood fire was burning. Indeed. it was the tables location, which she had se- lccted herself, that was the cause of her obstinacy. She had construed an innocent remark of mine into q sur upon her choice, and had evidently decided to wear her coat to emphaslze the fact that in spite of the hre she was not too warm.
 As watched the beads of perspira- ton upon her forehead, and her furtive dabbing at them with her handkerchief, I realized that some thing must be done. I saw that she Would soon be in a condition to re- ceive a chill, which might prove fatal.
 A sudden inspiration came to me. Perhaps if l made some excuse to leave her for a few minutes she would take advantage of my absence to slip off the coat, when she would not do it if my eyes were upon her. With an unpleasant recognition of the fact that I was fast becoming an accom- rlished teller of half-truths, I spoke to her.
 Will you pardon me for a mo- ment?' I laid down my bouillon spoon and rose. There are some things of which I must remind Katie. l should have 'phoned her before"
 I may have fancied it. but I thought saw an expression of relief come into her eyes,
 By all means" she returned, and I walked swiftly into the hall.
 "Where is the telephone booth " I asked of the man who had opened the doorway.
 "Right back here, behind the tap room.''
 It was not until I entered the booth that l realized the incongruity of being directed by a colonial majo domo to a twentieth century tcle- phone booth behind "taproom.'
 If this were hundred years ago I should have to dispatch a mounted

our own apartment. The chances were all in favor of my mother-in- law seeing him before I could get a telephone message to him. This was something I devoutly desired to avert. i did not wish Dicky to have the slightest idea that I knew anything or suspected anything of the secret between himself and Lillian Under wood before I had a chance to talk to him. Like a fencer who plans for his opponents weakest point, wished to catch him off guard
 But I managed to keep all trace of my thoughts from my face as I walked back to my table, and saw with much qualification that my mother-in-law had removed her heavy coat and was eating the main course of her luncheon with evident relish.

 We shall be home in an hour or two, Katie, and l am afraid Mrs. Graham will be chilled through. We shall have had luncheon, so don't bother about that, but have her tea things ready. and keep a kettle of boiling water on the simmerng bur- ner so that she can have a cup of hot tea the moment she gets in.
