The Driskos were to leave early the
next day. That same evening Made

magazine from the little newsstand

night, and the streets were crowded
with men in uniforms. In the tea

them in scores eating ice cream and
drinking soda water.

young officer to another as they were
strolling around the circle.
Madeline looked up. The voice-shs
had heard it before and it startled her
out of her usual poise.
Recognition was instantaneous and
all the pride and resentment were for
gotten as though they had never ex-

''Madeline!" exclaimed Hereford,
his handsome face aglow with sudden
JOY.

of church and poured out their
young hearts in love and contritiOn,
for they had nothing to quarrel about

Saying good night in the hotel par

The Course of !
True Love !
BY LILLIAN H. CROWLEY }

Madeline Drisko was really the hap
piest girl on earth, and why shouldn't
she he? She had everything to be
desired. including youth. beauty and
love.
The latter had come into her life
only recently, and the gods had nath-
ing more TO bestow on her.
Madeline's home was in New York,
but she, with her brother and wild.
owed mother, had gone to Honolulu
on business and pleasure trip com
bineG.
She loved the beautiful islands of
Hawaii the marvellous climate: the
sea. the SKY, and the mountains. There
was the most gorgeous scenery. She.
loved the picturesque natives and the.
plaintive music they played on the
ukuleles. 1t was all very wonderful TO
Madeline and she was charmed with
the place.
Il should love to stay here forever ="
she exclaimed rapturously to her
mother.
The indulgent mother smiled but
shook her head. "We can't remain
here always This is only memora-l
BILE holiday"
Then Madeline met Hereford Lang
don.
Hereford's parents were from New
England, but he had been born in
Honolulu. His father had large BUSH
ress interests there, and Hereford was
his right-hand man. .
Certainly fate had been very good
to Madeline in bringing this great love.
into her life in this most romantic
and beautiful country. Her mother
and brother. though loath to have her
settled so far from New York, were de-

every quality to make their loved one
happy.
Followed delightful days of love and
sunshine-then came the quarrel
All over a trivial matter, too-as are
most lovers quarrels. Hereford, aston
ished and heartbroken, tried to ex-
fused to listen. Hereford stumbled
home in the moonlight with his brief
dream of love destroyed.
Madeline nursed her pride and would
not send for him.. Then Mr.. Langdon
sent his son on a trip to another island
to be gone week.
Hereford held to the hope that Made
line would be in lenient mood by
the time of his return.
She, not hearing from him, became
angrier than ever and would not lis

generous heart.
Several days after Hereford's de-
parture, which was unknown TO Made
line, Tom Drisko received telegram
calling him to San Francisco on urgent
business They left at once.
There was no time for Madeline TO
see Hereford, even if she had been so
Inclined and she thought she wasn't.
On the way over to San Francisco she
had more time TO think over the fool
ish quarrel. She wished she had let
Hereford explain. The remembrance
of his srieved look and his sad eyes
hurt her conscience and kept her from
sleeping.

we land she said to herself This
thought was "a source of great conso-
lation. and she began to be almost
happy.
When they arrived at San Fran
cisco and found no word from Here
ford she was angry with herself for
having capitulated even IL Hereford
didn't know it.
Hereford had lived on the hope that
his sweetheart. would relent and let
him explain when he returned. which
he knew he could do if she would only
listen.
The blow fell. The Driskos had left
days before. and there was no word
for him. Many times afterward, when

Madeline To listen To him he did not

had planned TO travel in Mexico.
Then came the entrance of the
United States into the war.
Hereford strongly patriotic always,
had an additional reason for enIisting
his country first. and thereby a
means of forgetting his lost love in
work, the more dangerous the better.
Madeline had been on feyerish
round of sightseeing and pleasure in q.
vain endeayor to forget. To lose re-
memorance was impossible, and she
begged her mother 10 return home. On
the way east Mrs Drisko asked her

Heavy satin cloth of silver and rich
faille are the materials that are in de-
mand for formal evening gowns. These
materials are gorgeous in themselves
and therefore adapted to the present
styles in evening dress, which depends
upon graceful draping Of the figure and
not upon embellishments for interest.
1t is beauty of fabric and beauty of
lines that must hold the attention.
Sometimes, in the simpler models,
the drapery suggests the ease and flow
ing lines of the classic Greek garments,
and sometimes a single piece Of mater
ial appears to be wrapped about the
figure, with long loose end forming
train. But an artist in draping may
use material more freely than is indi-
