What Is he, Aunty Rose?" asked
Carolyn May In some trepidation. for
the ~housekeeper seemed to be much
moved.

Aunty Rose did not notice that Caro-
lyn May did not venture to the door OF
the sitting room to bid either Uncle
Joe or Miss Amanda goodnight. The
child followed the woman upstairs with
fnltering steps, and In the unlighted
bedroom that had been Hannah Stages
she kneit at Aunty Roses knee and
murmured her usual petitions.

Amanda. now they're so happy" was
a phrase that might have thrilled
Aunty Rose at another time. But she
was % deep in her own thoughts that
she heard what Carolyn May said per-
functorily.
With her customary kiss, she left
the little girl and went downstairs.
Carolyn May had e so much exeire-
ment during the day that she might
have been expected to sleep at once,
and that soundly. But II wa not 30.
The little girl lay with wide-open
eyes, her imagination at work.

Aunty Rose had expressed her own
feelings, to herself. III Uncle Joe and
Miss Amanda were going to be mar

thought Carolyn May chokingly.
All the emptiness" Of the last few
months swept over the soul Of the lit
tie child In a wav that her natural
cheerfulness could not withstand. Her
anchorage in the love Of Uncle Joe
and Miss Amanda was swept away.
The heart Of the little child swelled.
Her eyes overlooked. She sobbed her
self to sleep, the pillow muffiing
the sounds. more forlorn than ever be-
fore since she had come to The Cor
ners.

was, when the train came along Caro-.
Ign May. after seeing Prince put into
the baggage car, climbed aboard with
the help OF a brakeman.
"Of course. II he howls awfully," she
told the baggageman, who gave her q
check without question, Il shall have
10 go In that car and sit with him."
There were not many people In the
car. They steamed away from Sun
rise Cove and Carolyn May dabbled
her eyes with her handkerchief and
told herself to Be brave.
The stations were a long yyay apart
and the conductor did not come
through for some time. When he did
open the door and come into the car
Carolyn May started up with a glad
cry. 1t was the very conductor who
had been so kind to her on the trip up
from New York.
The railroad man knew her at once
and shook hands most heartily with
her.
Where are you going, Carolyn
Mayr" he asked.
"All the way with you, sir" she re-
piled.
ITO New York;
"Yes, sir. I'm going home again."
"Then I'll see you later" he said,
without asking for her ticket.
The conductor remembered the little
girl very well, although he did not
remember all the details of her story.
He was very kind to her and brought
her satisfying news about Prince in
the baggage car. The brakeman was
nice. too. and brought her water to
drink In a paper cup.

told her long ago that there was no
other city like IL in the world.
She knew One Hundred and Twen-
ty-ffth street and its elevated station.
That was not where she had boarded
the train going north, when Mr.. Price
had placed her In the conductors care,
but 1t was nearer her old home-that
she knew. So she told the brakeman
she wanted to get out there and he
arranged to have Prince released.
The little girl alighted and got her
dog without misadventure. She was
down on the street level before the
train continued on its journey down.

At the Grand Central terminal the
conductor was met with a telegram
sent from Sunrise Cove by q certain
frantic hardware dealer and that tele-
gram told him something about Caro-
Ign May Of which he had not thought
to ask.

only for each other.
Even a child could see something of
this. The absorption Of the two made
Aunty Roses remarks very impressive
to Carolyn May.

which the trouble in Carolyn Mays
heart and brain seethed until II be-
came unbearable. She was convinced
that there would soon be no room for
her In the big house, She watched
Aunty Rose pack her own trunk. and
the old lady looked very glum, indeed.
She heard whispers of an immediate
marriage, here in the house, with Mr..
briggs as the officiating clergyman.
Carolyn May studied things out for
herself. Being a child, her conclu-
sions were not always wise ones.
She felt that she might be a STUN
bling block to the complete happiness
OF Uncle Joe sand Amanda Parlow.
They might have to set aside their own
desires because OF her. She felt vague
iy that this must not be.

CHAPTER XIX.
The HON. Of Carolyn May.

1t was some distance from the rail-
road station to the block on which
Carolyn May Cameron had lived all
her life until she had gone to stay
with Uncle Joe Stage. The child knew
she could not take the car, for the con-
ductor would not let Prince ride.
She started with the dog on his
leash. for he was not muzzled. The
bag became heavy very soon, but she
staggered along with 1t uncomplain-
lngly. Her disheveled appearance,
with the bag and the dog, gave people
who noticed her the impression that

to her expectant family.
But Carolyn May knew that she was

memories Of her fathers CHEEKY spirit.
Yet It was the only home. she felt.
that vas left for her.
She could not blame Uncle Joe and
Miss Amanda for forgetting her.
Aunty Rose had been quite disturbed,
too. since the forest fire. She had
given the little girl NO hint that pro-
vision would be made for her future.

through the Harlem streets, shifting
the bag from hand to hand. Prince

EhdleSS Ingenuity and small pieces or bits and scraps of silk or ribbons appear to be the most valuable assets of those who love to do fancy work and almost every woman delights in making pretty things. The uses that the ingenious find for the odds and ends of silk and velvet that accumu- late in the scrap bag, make a scrap bag q regular treasure. There is long list of fascinating trinkets and belongings that spring from this un- pretentious source, most of them per sonal things dear to dainty women.
 Gold lace, gold net, lingerie lace, made silk flowers and fruits are the elegancieS that join forces with silken stuffs to fashion all these trinkets and perfumed powders scent many of them.
 Starting out with the simplest and smallest, there are little sachet bags, two or three inches square, made of bright colored ribbon and filled with cotton scented with sachet powder. A half dozen of these little bags, each having a tiny gilt safety pin in it's edge, are tied together in a package with a narrow ribbon. They may be pinned in the dress or placed in glove, handkerchief or veil boxes or with stationery, pervading everything with delicate odor. Or the bags may be cut heart shaped, pinned in TOW to the edge of narrow ribbon and placed in Il little box to be used as desired.

 Little ribbon or silk roses, flowers and fruit are used on so many of the things made of silk that one must learn how to make them among the first things. They are used in finish ing touches in all sorts of boxes and toilet belongings-glove, handkerchief and powder boxes, talcum powder and toilet water bottles, pin cushions, comb case and all the requisites of the toilet table. These are covered with silk bound with gold braid or lace often having little frills of lin- gerie lace and the little flowers finally added.
 Candle shades and candle shields, small screens for telephones and other things, innumerable pin cushions and pin trays, bon-bon boxes and picture frames, all are covered with silk and decked out with laces and braids. Then there are the needle and scissor cases and all the company of work bags that prove joy forever to their owners, together with jewel and pow der bags crocheted of merceriZed cot ton or of silk floss and lined with silk The coat hanger finishes the list of per- sonal belongings, but it does not cover all the uses for pieces of silk, which include many furnishings fo;' the home.
