was to minister to her needs, mentally and

wanted TO assure myself that Harry
Underwood was nowhere to be seen. As
walked down one of the asles between the
tanks OF seals his voice sounded in my ears
There was n note In 1t which told me
that / no longer need be afraid of his an
noying me, at least not on this occasion
He was palpably nervous and anxious and
his words were hurried
Just forget my spiel of few minutes
ago. he said in an offhand manner which
with him serves instead Of an apology "T've
got something important to say TO YOU,
something which went clean out of my head
Don't let Dickys mother know who l am
at least that I'm LIS husband or any,
thing about Lii and me until I have a
chance to see Dicky. The old girl magines
she has grievance against Lii and there
is no use opening old sores unless you
have to-"
gazed at him open-mouthed. ct don't
understand" l said vaguely.
His eyes dropped before mine He stirred
uneasily. NO, you wouldn't" he said eva
siVeiy, and then, as If with a sudden de-
termination, there is no need you ever
should know. 1t is a matter that doesn't
concern you in the least. Take my advice
and don't ever try to find out"
But Mrs. Graham does know who you
are; / just told her.
He uttered a long. low whistle, which
expressed CONSERVATION more wildly than
any words would have done.
We'll, the fats already in the fire"
Then he commented cynically. II wish YOU
JOY of the mess. Good morning"
He raised his hat, made me a courtly |
bow, which Is one of his chief accomplish-
ments, and went toward the ferry entrance |
leaving me bewildered and upset with what
he had just told me. Chagrin, anger jeal-
ousy-all swept over me.
Here from another source was CON-
frmation of my suspicious that there had
been some secret in the past life of my
husband and Lillian Gale Of which I had
never been told. I stood perfectly still for
moment or two while the conflicting emo
tions which Harry Underwoods words had
raised had their way with me-
Then another thought crept into my mind
What was Harry Underwood's real motive
in giving me this warning? Was he sincere |
in his desire to avoid trouble or had he
taken advantage of the unexpected situation |
to try to lessen my confidence in Dicky?

that II is better to have few frocks that

The bodice has that broad fiat effec,
both back and front, that is so smart nj

sleeves have turned-back cuffs ornamente6
with row of squares embroidered with
black SILK, This same trimming appears
on the revers, collar and about the waist

frock. It was side-plaited with a wide box
piait In the front and at the back Each
plalt hangs "as straight as a die" The
wide hem is turned up on the outside and
machine stitched
An effective trimming touch which
Helena had added to this frock took the
form or belt loops made Of narrow strlps
Of broadcloth There were placed on each

l am convinced that coat dress of
white tan or champagne -colored broad

GIVE Just heard the saddest thing
unused friend of mine one day. you
remember that pretty little Dorothy C,
who came out last year? She told me this
morning that her mother mad lost so
much money recently she the daughter)
felt obliged to go to work" Sad that
the mother had met with misfortune; but
could not agree with this girl as to
poor little Dorothy"
Poor little Dorothy" indeed! How
dreadful that she should settle down to a
life Of usefulness instead of keeping up
the eternal and internal round Of lunch
cons. teas, dinners, balls.
This young girl displayed unusual ar
tistic ability while at school; In the life
which was originally mapped out for her,
her talents would literally have been
buried, confined to the furnishing Of her
own boudoir, perhaps. But now she has
entered the shop Of an interior decorator,
and, in a remarkably short time has
shown herself capable Of really splendid
work
Do you doubt that she is happy?
