CHAPTER III.
The MARQUIS

'Will you drive with me to the
station to meet the 5:30?" asked
Betty, as she and Natalie, in neg
ligee, sat in her high-ceilinged
bedroom, which was ample
enough to serve also as boudoir.
Garter comes on the same train.

But Natalie declined, and Bet
ty met the $50 at. 6 o'clock -
which was very fair for the South
ern.
Three-quarters of an hour
later Vendome, seated at Betty's,
pretty dinner table, knew that his
memory of his fellow guest had
played him false. Mrs. Ire
maine was even more beautiful
than he had pictured her in his
dreams.
Suddenly becoming conscious
that he was almost staring at
her, Orme sought frantically for
some topic of conversation to eff
face his embarrassment. Shifting
his eyes reluctantly from Natalie's
lONeiy lace ne 1OuHd IL.
Isn't that new picture,
Betty, the portrait yonder?" he
asked, nodding toward the oppo-
site wall. when a young Officer
In continental uniform looked
from his furnished gold frame.
Yes" she said. 81 must tell
you about the marquis. We found
him, short time ago, In the at
tic--packed away behind the ac-
cumulationss of generations. Why
he should ever have been put
there, We can't imagine. Maybe it
happened in wartime, before Cen
Sheridan placed a guard about
the house and gave Mrs. Single
ton the written order requiring
all federal soldiers to spare the
place. Well, one day last Spring,
during a general cleaning up Of
the attic, the picture was brought
to light; dusty and furnished BY
age. On the bacq, is this in
scription:
Portrait of Adrien, Marquis
de Chavenis, Lieutenant Colonel
of Engineers, Continental Army,

General the Marquis de Lafayette
Presented by him, August IL,

of his esteem and affection, to
his comrade-in-arms. Colonel

How very interesting" said
Vendome. 81 suppose It is a
Peale?"
Betty nodded affirmatively. .,
what happened to the mar
quis, when the French revolution
came alone? Did he escape the
guillotine of the Terror"
"I've looked up the record"
said She HE did not escape. He
was one of the last to be be-
headed. -
Peace be to his ashes." said
IVendome, raising his glass to the
portrait. I'VE can we'll take It
that he died as became a gentle
man of France-and that reminds
me of a rather queer incident
that happened the other night. II

Dyed Furs Cause skin Diseases.

Cases of skin disease caused by
dyed furs have become so common
that DR.. George Manghill Olson of
Minneapolis urges. in the Journal OF
the American Medical association,
that the use of the dye called par
aphenylendiamin and known TO the
trade as paramine, ursol, etc, be pro-
hibited by law. All the cases report
ed are traceable to furs dyed brown
or black with this dangerous deriva-
tive of anilin.
The trouble comes generally on the
neck where the fur collar has been
in contact with the skin, and appears
often after the fur has been wet by
rain, snow CT the breath of the wear
er, or after the wearer has had close
shave. The black pony coats worn
by women are the worst offenders, as
all of them are dyed with parapheny-
lendiamin. It's presence can generally
be detected b. examining the roots of
the hairs. which will show here and
there an unnatural brickrei color.
