Whats that smell?" he asked.
It's ammonia, sir, the ammonia
pipe has burst" He spoke respect
fully, but Warren took no notice of
this fact.
Wen change our table," he said,
stopping eating.
It's the same all over the dining
room, sir" the waiter returned. 1T

Helen noticed that although the
other people noticed the odor, they
were all taking it as a joke. War
rem was the only one really angry.
After all, ammonia is not an un-
pleasant odor. Helen saw no rea-
son to make a fuss about it, par
tiCularly when they had guests.

tor sir the waiter said, smiling
and proceeded to do so. But the
ammonia was escaping from other
places in the dining room.

Helen tried 10 demur, Warren in

quite a distance away. His manner
ir comparison with that of the head
waiter was brusque and rude. Helen
felt mortified, as she and Mrs. Ste

longings across the dining room.
She noticed that theirs was the only
party changing their table.

such a thing happening in a first
class place
"As if they could help it," Helen
could not help saying. 1T isn't

sponsible."
There ought not to be a chance
for such thing to happen" War
ren insisted. Spelling peoples ap-
pctites and losing good trade"

She was right, it was almost gone,
and all this trouble for nothing, to
say nothing of the fact that they
were all made uncomfortable by the
fact that Warren was so obviously
put cut. If only he could take such
things as a matter of fact and laugh
at them, instead of feeling himself
personally affronted, but he invari-
ably acted just this way, and some
little thing always happened to put
a damper on his good spirits.

CHAPTER VI
CODyTiCht. 1918, Star Co.


The room to which Dora conduct
ed Cynthia was large and tastefully
furnished. A combined dressing
room and bathroom opened out of
it on one side. On the other was
the small room, connecting with
Dora's apartments beyond.
Your room and mine are just
alike in size. and arrangements" the
young hostess explained. Yours has
been a guest chamber until now

off my wraps"
II do not want to be alone, and
want you to come back" Cynthia
replied.
When Dora had gone to her room
Cynthia took off her dress. drew
a wrapper from her suitcase and put
it on. Then, as her cousin returned
and bade her lie down, she stretched
herself upon the divan. Dora seated
herself in a big chair close by her
cousin and drew a long breath of
contentment.
Now this is what I call satisfy
ing!" she exclaimed. Are You GER

VERY certain" Cynthia assured
her. II could not sleep if I would.
And I would rather hear you talk" :"
Her desire was gratified, for Dora
chatted vigorously, interpreting bits
of information with questions about
Cynthias life since they had met as
very young girls.
An Anectionate Heart
AS Cynthia watched the glowing
face and sparkling eyes she became
more and more impressed with the
fact that her cousin was very pret-
ty She was also convinced that be-
hind the girls merriment was a
warm and affectionate heart.
I'm planning lots of good times
for us to have together" Dora said
at last. There are quantities of

FddS in Lingerie
From the New York Herald

(From the New 1ork t1erdlu)
Fashion is indulging her caprices
in most wonderful bits of lingeries
and they are a delight to behold. She
is hoping, too, that even her most
conservative followers will be con-
vinced that they are practical to
wear because of their comfortable
lines.
Lingeries seems lovelier than
usual this year, because there are so
many patient French fingers whose
only means of livelihood is the maxi
ing of dainty garments. Pajamas
fashioned along Chinese models Of
fer wide opportunities for hand
work, Pale blue crepe is utilized for
the development of n most unsual
pair of pajamas, the trouserettes
being finished at the lower edge with
deep hem of black satin, The
jacket Is In square effect, bound
froat and back. armholes and neck,
with satin, There are no sleeves.
In fact, the. fashionable trend Is
toward the sleeveless sleeping gar
ment. Hyglenists argue that 1t is
more healthful, while designers de-
clare that 1T offers wider field for
individual development

Warren, I think 1t was very nice
of YOU TO think of this, said Mrs.
Stevens, as they entered the dining
room.
Wasn't it nice?" said Helen hap

theater and l thought it wuold be
nice for the four of us to have din

Warren thinks they have about
the best table d'hote in town." said
Helen, as the were seated around
cosy table for four.
We'll, we ought to have won
derfui evening" said Mrs. stevens
Il hope the play is as good as they
tell us it will be. They say 1t made
. great hit out of ,own."
Glad it's a comedy said Warren
looking down the menu. None OF
these teary dramas for me-
You're right" agreed Mr.. Ste
Vons. and then Warren began IL
cive his order to the waiter.
Helen wGs anxious for everything
to so off all right that evening, and
as the SteNcnSeS were easy BOllE
people and did not rile Warren UNI
less he was playing bridge with
Mrs. Stevens, who was not a good
bridge player, there was really nc
reason why the evening should not
bring forth a lot of fun.
Good food, eh?" queried Warren
rs the first course was brought.
He was in a fine humor this even
ing; playing host always made him
particularly genial. Good food and
good service appeal 10 a man OF
Warren's type far more than caba-
ret or dancing.
As they were about to begin on
the soup course, Helen noticed an
acrid odor which seemed to come
out of the radiator back of her. She
raised her eyes to see if Warren
noticed it and met those of Mrs
Stevens instead.
Smells like ammonia Mrs. Ste
Vens returned. The smell was get
ting stronger every moment and
involuntarily Helen's eyes began to
blink. 1t was ammonia, and a very
strong extract of it at that

Cozy comfort will always be
provided by this garment. 1t
wraps about one in the most
attractive, pleasing manner and
it has such smart and distinctive
touches that it makes an especial
appeal. AS you see it here, it
is made of bath robe flannel,
but you could copy it in cor
duroy or in terry cloth or in any
material that is adapted to the
bath robe. If you like, you can
omit the pockets and use a belt,
but there is a certain smart
ness and distinction in the
pockets that are buttoned up
over the girdle that most girls
will like. The terry cloths are
being shown in singularly at
tractive colors and are charming
for such garments. The ro be
that is made of corduroy serves
as a negligee as we'll as a bath
robe. A rose color or a blue
would be pretty lined through
out with white China silk. The
bath robe fannels include both
wool and cotton, but the cottons
are amply warm and just now,
when there is a shortage of wool,
it is wise to give the cotton
preference.
For the I6-year size will be
needed, 615 yards of material 27
inches wide, S yards SO or A..

in sizes for 10 and I8 years. 1t

terrupt meas Dora started to
speak. Il want you to understand
my attitude. My mourning makes
my accepting invitations for awhile
yet out of the question-and, to
speak the truth. Dora, 1 have little
heart for society affairs. But L want
you to promise that this will make
no difference in your plans. You
must go about just as usual. l shall
be content here with my books and
I lovely surroundings. So please do
not give me a second thought"
Dora had kept silent as long as
she could. Now she bent over and
kissed her cousin impulsively. You
dear thing" she exclaimed. IF you
feel like that you shall go nowhere
YOU don't want to go. But surely,
even in mourning, one likes good
music"
"Of course." Cynthia smiled at
the eager face so near her own. II
shall love to go to some concerts.
Also-while l shall not accept invi-
tations-it will make me happy to
meet your friends. l am prepared
to like them very much"
Dora flushed. There is one friend
you must like Cynthia. l may as
we'll tell you about him now-for
it's soon going to be announced. |
want you to know it first, because
you are like a sister to me from this

He is Milton Won Saun. He's

Thank you for telling me about

Il know it is. Yet when you've
| known a man always it does not
seem so very wonderful as books
and people claim, does it?"
"I do not know" Cynthia replied.
Il have never been in love-"
We'll, it's just liking somebody
more than you like other men,
Dora confded. That's all there is
| to it."

Dora shook her head. "No-hes

Chicago longer than he meant to,
for he has a college friend there
who has decided to come on to New

would be nice if they came on to-
gether. He-Milton, l mean-has

But you hear from him con-
stantly, of course?" Cynthia asked.

This was most unjust of your father.
On the invitation of a young mans
mother and with the permission OF
her own mother, of course a girl NAV
make q visit such as yours. The fact
tnat MS sister is your chum adds to
the complete propriety of the situa-
tlon. In all questions of proprietv
there are often differences of opinion.
Now Your father was worried over the
fact that his daughter had made this
VISIT to young mans home. 1t was
his love for you that lead to his attt-
tude. There oughtn't to be any fam
lly quarrel. Just explain to your
father that you see how ii was that

conservative about their daughters.
but that what you did is considered
perfectly proper and that you don't
want him to dream for moment
that you would ever do anything that

Advice to the LovelOrn
by BEATRICE FAIRFAX
LASTING LOVE

DEAR MISS FAIRFAN:
Five years ago | announced my
engagement to Il highly intellectual
young man five years my senior.
Our marriage was not far off when
we had n dispute and parted. /
have had several offers of marriage
since that time, but never took them
seriously. He has resided in my
neighborhood all these years, and
yet has never made an attempt to
see me.
DO you believed in lasting affec-
ton, as l feel | could never be in
terested in any one else, and am
satisfied to so along this way for
the rest of my life; or should |, IN
very material way, smother the
finer feeling within me, and sim
ply marry the next man who asks
me just to escape that sour term
old maid" in later life? b. l.. q.
NO, OF course you won't do any
thing so foolish as to marry the
next man who asks you in order to
avoid being called old maid later.
The term is no longer in use any
way. Dignified, self-respecting
women have far more respect for
themselves when they do work they
like than they could possibly have
for themselves were they to marry
cold-bloodedly in order to be sup
ported or just to have the title of
matrcn. If you really care deeply
for this man who no longer shows
any interest in you, perhaps you
will not mind sacrificing your pride
in order either to recover his friend
ship or to assure yourself once for
all that he can never have it. Your
disagreement was serious. Perhaps
the man feels that there is a wide
gulf of misunderstanding or of un-
fair treatment between you. To
bridge it you must make a big ef-
fort to find out if that one quarrel
has killed forever the possibilities
for friendship between you. Either
do that or accept the fact that the
man is out of your life forever. If
he is out of it then get something
else to fill the empty chair" work
or worthy emotion.
