room. 'T must wash my face and
hands and brush my hair first"

advised.
II can't" I reminded her, for,

talk instead"
She smiled constrainedly. Thank
you," she murmured. Il hope you
will try TO forget much that 1 said
just wanted you to understand
about these rooms. 1 was sure you
| would be interested in them if you
did. And 1 knew that if you under
stood you would ask no questions
about them. My brother is very
sensitive in speaking of my poor
sister. ] wanted to spare him the
pain of answering any questions"
81 see," L rejoined. 81 certainly
would not think of asking him
about such a private matter as his
wifes illness or death"
When she had gone, 1 sank upon
! the couch on which she and I had
been seated, and reviewed, bit by
bit, the conversation we had just
had, l supposed that she had spoken
{ truly when she said that it would
be painful to Brewster Norton to
speak of his dead wife-the mother
of his favorite child.
Yet she knew me very little if she
! fancied that L would ask my en-
ployer any questions about these
rooms-as to who had formerly oc-
cupied them, and for whom they
had been so daintily furnished. And
if had asked, why need she dread
my doing so? 1 had never supposed
| that she was so fearful of having
her sisters husband wounded.
Then a sudden idea assailed me-
Was she afraid that Tom might
| have told me something against his
| stepmother? She had probably
noted that he and / were on pleas
ant terms and wanted to prevent his
/ saying to me anything disparagine
| of his fathers second wife. Well
/ she would never learn from me that
! Tom had criticized her. His conh-
| dences were safe with me.
She had tried to insure his silence
| by advising me not to allow him 10
talk of the dead woman. 1t was
not well, she had intimated, for
young people to dwell on sad things
She had also eXacted from me a
promise that l would ask no ques-
! tons about her sister. 1t was all
a puzzle to me. But it was none OF
my affair.
A Puzzling Query
Having returned to the point at
which l had been at the beginning
of my talk with Mrs. Gore, | arose
and got ready for dinner. No, i
would make no inquiries with re-
gard to Grace's mother. She had not
died here. I was not superstitious
yet I was rather glad that this
pretty room had not witnessed her
demise. How and where had she
died, anyway?
Then realizing that l was asking
of myself the very question that
Mrs. Gore had requested me to re-
frain from asking anyone else, /
shook myself free from these futile
conjectures, got ready for dinner,
and ran downstairs.
Mrs. Gore was certainly an excel
lent manager. In the few hours be-
fore our arrival she and the ssr-

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

w THATEVER else may
w come, whatever else may
w go, the chemise gown
will remain throughout the sea-
son, and a very charming, gen.
orally becoming and attractive
garment it is. This one is made
with a separate guimpe and
here, the guimpe is of Geor-
gette crepe while the gown
itself is made of charmeuse
satin. If you want a simple
morning gown, you can follow
the suggestion shown in the
back view and use serge over
crepe de chine. If you want an
evening gown, you can make
short sleeves and you can use
Georgette crepe for the blouse
with any silk or satin for the
gown. The banding shown is
embroidered but baby Irish lace
tinted to harmonic with the
silk is smart.
For the medium size will be
needed, ~ yards of material
SO inches wide for the gown,
IA yards for the guimpe por-
ton with 3H yards of banding
for the skirt, q yards for the
girdle and IA yards of lacefor
the sleeves.
The pattern No. o3S7 is cut
in sizes from "a to AZ inches bust
measure. 1t will be mailed to
any address by the Fashion De-
partment of this paper, on re-
ceipt of fifteen cents.

CARE OF inner
TUBES IS EXPLAINED
BY Tire expert

allow am ] to know when an inner
tube is 'done?' is a question am asked
repeatedly" declares G. f. Drummer.
manager service department, The Good
wear Tire and Rubber Company.
1T is the natural inquiry of a tire
user who has had several repairs made
ON his tubes and wishes TO obtain the
utmost mileage from them, yet wants to
avoid the inconvenience OF making a
tire change on the road due TO tube
trouble.
Gin these times when economy is the
order of the day, a tire user holding an
old tube in his hand, can well afford to
ponder a minute before casting it aside
Thorough
ct is difficult sometimes TO determine
lust when a tube is unfit for further
use. However. porosity in tube usu-
allv indicates that it has attained its
three score and ten. In this stage Of
use. very small cracks can be observed
in the rubber if il Is stretched and eX-
amned carefully. The next develop
ment is splitting when the air pressure
becomes too great for the tube TO bear.
"lf the rubber in a tube is live it
may successfully bear as many patches
as a beggar's coat But due care must
be exercised in the INFLAMMATION of the
patch TO the tube, that too large a por-
ton of the tube around the patch is not
cured. Ii portions of the tube have
been overcured in patching operations
disaster is sure TO follow.
81 believe that the lack Of proper care
of the tube is responsible for most oI
the troubles tire users experience. Tho
