caring us all for spite? What else
is it but cheap, nasty spite?"
"It's a great deal more than spite,"
Bayard groaned. "Do you think I'll
accept favors from a man who has
been courting you and got caught at
it? I'd rather starvew
"Well, / wouldn't!" Leila averred.
"And I'm not going to starve. And
I'm not going to let you commit hari-
kari on Wetherell's doorstep just to
spite him. I tell you again, once for
all, there was nothing wrong in Weth-
erell's behavior, absolutely nothing.
It's outrageous that you should accuse
me of such horrible things"
So Bayard was coerced into having
his life saved by his enemy. 1t was
one thing, however, to consent to deal
with Wetherell, and another to devise
tolerable reconciliation.
"Well," Bayard sighed, ''beggars
can't be choosers. If I'd saved my
money I shouldn't have to take Weth-
erell's money"
Bayard called up the president of
his company at the office. His Grafton
made a huge success. Bayard began
to smile to himself, to wink at the
spectators, and finally to share in the
apparent rapture of his distant ear
tO-ear.
The end of the matter was that when
Bayard left the telephone he was a
new man. He had cunningly raised
his chiefs hopes to the highest de-
gree, yet withheld the name of the
English agent. He explained that he
intended to take Leila's advice and
use his knowledge as a lever for his
own advancement and Clay's.
Clay and Bayard sat down to make
figures, and the talk grew too tech
nical for the women to endure. After
hearing the first music of Bayard and
Clay chanting in hundreds of thou
sands of dollars Daphne stole out un-
needed and went up to her own room.
Mr.. Chivvis was sitting by a win
dow in mournful idleness. Mrs. Chiv-
Wis was stitching away at her en-
broidery. She was cheerful-for her.
She told Daphne that she had found
a market for her needlework; the
prices were poor but they were real.
She advised Daphne to get to work
with her.
Daphne had not the courage to say
that her brother and her betrothed
were about to become plutocrats. She
said only that she was very tired.
And there is no more exhausting drain
on the nerves than their response to
unexpected good news. It is more
fatiguing than bad. She was sur
prised and shocked, too, to find how
snobbish she was all of a sudden
about the petty earnings of a Chivvis.

with his firm because of the huge
orders he brought in. He took all
the power that was accorded and
Srasped for more. His most reckless
audacities were rewarded with sue
cess. He rode tidal wave and swan
with it so well that all his progress
seemed to be due to his own power.
Bayard astounded Dutilh with the
solution OF that old account, and with
cash payment for new gowns in
celebration of his new glory. He did
not forget his own people. He tele-
graphed his mother a thousand dol
lars and almost slew her with amaze
ment. He telegraphed his father SIM
ply the price of railroad ticket to
new York and a peremptory sum-
mons to take the FIRST train east.

limousine with crest on door.
Gradually her scheme enlarged. She
would devote her shop to the whole
mechanism Of the boudoir. ''Boudoir-
wear" was the word that pleased her.
1t was in human nature that the
partners should quarrel over a name
for the baby before the baby was
born. They spoke of themselves as
"The Firm"
Finally Daphne, claiming the ma
jority Of the power, voted en- bloc for
"Boudoirwear," and claimed the vic
tory. Mrs. Chivvis surrendered with
the amendment that "Miss Kip"
should be at one side, "Mrs. Chivvis"
at the other. She bribed the assem-
bly, by promising that cousin of hers.

fGhfANT manufacturers, in making
lf1 silk. use a large amount OF tin
in order TO give false weight" said
Harvey L. wilson,
Most silks are originally sold by
the pound, therefore the more foreign
matter. such as tin and salts and glue,
csed the more weight is obtained
when the raw silk goes to the
manufacturer 1t is just as it came
from the silk worms, and IL contains
lot Of gummy matter that has to be
boiled out This boiling process.
which removes all the impure and AMI
mai matter, reduces the weight OF the
original raw silk about four ounces

IL is true that pure silk goods viii
rot crack, nor rot readily by means
Of perspiration. and it is also true
that much Of the modern silk OF today
viii crack and fail TO pieces. even
before it goes to the cleaner.
Thousands and thousands OF wom-

row, have found a new dress cracked

garment is weighted with tin and acid

The salts and muriatic acid in the
system and the heat from the body
coming in contact with the acid sized
materials are some OF the griefs and
sorrows to the individual wearer, as
well as the cleaner.
IN some cases as much as 40 to so
percent Of tin is used in the manufac-
ture and dyeing OF silk. When the
cloth IS exposed to the air, the LIQUID
tin absorbed by the fiber in the dye
bath crystalizes, and when the fabric
tcalled silk by courtesy is put under
strain like that Of madeup garments.
these crystallized particles actually
cut the pure fibers and therefore
cause the crack and ruin the cloth.
Artificial silks are so heavily sized
with glue that they will streak cas-
