BACK AGAIN

BACK AGAIN
CHAPTER 81
The well dressed girl who alighted
from a taxi and ran UP the steps Oh
the Driscom home late one July az
~ternoon was a very different person
from the one that a dragged her
self and q suitcase up those same
steps not many months before.
"Why, Miss Louise-uh, Mrs. Nor
ton, beg pardon, / wouldn't know you
now, you're looking so fine.' was
Anne's enthusiastic greeting at the
door.
"Feeling fine. thanks" Louise an
swered. "Father homer"
"Yesm. him and a friend Is In the
library" Anne told her. "Iu send
John out for your trunks"
Louise wanted to look her best
when she saw her father and make
as great as possible the difference
between her appearance wnen sne
left for the country three weeks ago
and now. She ran up to her room
and washed off the train dust, n
combed her hair. Then, standing py
her mirror to powder her nose,
making funny little faces at herself
as women invariably do when they
use a powder puff, she began to ex-
anime herself closely.
Yes, she was changed indeed. Her
cheeks had filled out and had a
healthy color; her hair, sunburnt al"
most to a gold in places from her
- hours in the open. had never looked
90 pretty. Her eyes sparkied, her
figure was straight and slim, n
we'll set off by her pongee suit In
deed, from the top of her fashiona-
BILE hat to the tip of her patent leath-
or boot she was the personihcatfon or
healthy. we'll cared-for young wom-
anhood.
"Why, my dear, this is a pleasant
SURPRISE" her father exclaimed when
she entered the library a few min
utes later. II did not expect you
back until August"
I'm only a few days ahead OF
time Them" Louise answered as she
kissed him a~ffectionately. The visi-
tor had risen as she entered and Mr..
Driscom turned to him..
MY dear, let me present one OF
my oldest friends. Murray Butler"
he said. my little daughter, Muir
ray, Mrs. Morton. You've never met
her
Louise held out her hand with a
friendly smile, and Murray Butler
took it. He was tall, one of the
tallest men she had ever met, and
lean, with dark grey eyes and dark
grey hair. He was a fairly WELL
known artist, a man possibly forty
eight or fifty. He always wore dark
gray suits cut on rather youthful
lines and affected colored ties of I'M
usual patterns-she learned later.
Mr.. Driscom looked at his daugh-
ter, his old eyes alight with pleasure.
Doesn't she look well?" he asked
at length.
Like a rose In bloom Mr.. Butler
agreed and Louise blushed with
pleasure and looked, indeed, like a
summer rose.
Shall / ring for tear" she sug-
gested. "You are going to stay for

with pleasure, If I may" the Wis
tor accepted.
I'm afraid the hot city doesn't
agree with you, my DEAR" Mr.. DTS
com said after q time, watching
Louise closely while she poured the
tea over great Jumps of ice In tho
IT came back to work." Louise
answered. 81 know that's the best
thing for me to do now, and I know
what l want to work at too"
whats that?"' Mr.. Butler asked
with interest.
1.-THE sort OF decorating I lie at
my little house in the country"
Louise explained. Father. you new
er saw my house, and now it's rent
ed to strangers and I suppose you
never will"
AR you going in for interior
decorating 2" Mr.. Butler asked. IT'S
rather an overcrowded field, unless
you're an expert"
mo, I'm not 50 ambitious as you
think" Louise answered. II want to
decorate nurseries, and I've an idea
quaint New England Or Priscilla
cradles initiated in plain wood, and
the funny chairs they made for
children 200 years ago, and the small
chests of drawers. But instead OF
Did mahogany I'll do them in sani-
tary enamel with fairy tale figures
painted on them"
That's a good idea" Mr.. Buffers
voice had ceased to be bored.
i've learned how to paint a lit
tle," Louise went on, enthusiastic
over her idea. "I shan't start work
until fall, and meantime I'm going
to take painting lessons to improve
myself"
Better walt awhile before you
plunge into work." Mr.. Driscom adj
vised. II ave an idea for something
that will do you much more good
than that"
Louise turned to him questioning
ly.
I'm going to South America for
that firm you've heard me speak of
and L want to take you along" he
said. i've been trying to persuade
Murray, but he won't come"
Louise smiled with pleasure. South
America! What a delightful adven-
ture it would be to &c there.
Tomorrow-Murray Butler.

My Own Recipes

When a or gravy made of
milk is served 1 seldom mash pota-
toes. Carefully prepared boiled po-
tatoes with a milk gravy are just as
attractive and n~ourishing as mashed
ones. In fact almost the SAME
amount of the same foods are includ-
ed IN both.
CORN MOCK OYSTERS
2 cups canned corn

SHORT COVERING !. MADE HIGH RANGE
 FOR ALL GRAINS
A Liberal Export Business Was Said to Have Been Done
 After the Close
Nv Asannint.d Hr..a

Chicago November 1S.--Short cover ing made a higher range for all grains today with wheat leading The inar- kets were oversold and offerings were light, but the upturn failed to hold as heavy selling developed and coa-se grains broke sharply. At the finish wheat showed a net gain of Y to 2hc. with December s1.7s% to 1.sO, and March $1,7oA to $1.OTh; corn was quarter cent high to 1 cent lower; oats were unchanged to 1sc lower and pro- visions were unchanged to 35c nigaer.
 There was a general disposition by early buyers to take profits in wheat many not caring to leave their trades over Sunday in view the disappointing action of the stock market. New York reported two cotton oil exporters in financial difficulty, which also aided in depressing prices. Three was some iexport demand via the gulf, but iles were not reported. A liberal export business was said to have been done after the close yesterday.
 Coarse grains were under pressure, but with the exception of oats, prices failed to show much weakness and practically all trading demand reported for corn at the seazoard was above es- terday's close
 Provisions averaged higher with grains and hogs.

OVER PRIVATE WIRES
s. R. Stewart 6 Co.is Letter

New Orleans, November 12-lverpo0l
 was closed today The early morning weather was generally fair and cold with
 the exception of southern Texas and
 Florida, where rains are predicted. Re- ports from sections covering the entire
 belt were to the effect that what was
 left of the cotton crop had been dam frosts and picking of the low grades
 had ceased throughout all sections. On the issuance of the consumption
 report for the month of October, show
 ing figures to be S99,S37, against 556,00o
 at the opening. our market opened about
 15 points lowerN with practically no rally
 during the short session. It sold as low
 as 17.21c for December, but on the week.
 end covering rallied at the close to + 45c
 Selling was on the bearlsh consumption
 figures and no betterment in the general
 situation. There was fair trade de-
 mand, mostly fixing prices on old busl-
 ness Hedge selling increased in the New York market by southern spot buy- CTS which carried their March and July into new lows, a feature of the trade in firm there of 5000 May at the low figure of 17.50c.
 The news in general was as bearish as ever and reports throughout the south gave the impression that spots were weakening further The majority of the people who are close to the situation in spot cotton are bearish. There may be lower prices next week, but we cannot help but believe we are safe in advising the purchase of cotton on further breaks, as favorable news is overdue. and little of this is needed to bring about an up- ward bound.-S.

WEEKLY DRY GOODS
By Associsted Press

New York. November 13.-There has been auickening in the movement of cotton goods at first hands, although at extremely low prices. The reduc- nons made on percales, prints. dinims and other goods were of drastic char acter. Agents are willing only to take business for delivery till January i.
 Buying of prints and percales has not been as large as usual when new prices are named because of the abandonment of protection and price guarantees an ] the uncertain attitude of one large rrinter who has not yet annonuced his policy. Shirtings are being bought moderately by manufacturers A more active business Is reported among traders who are liquidating stocks of goods held by exporters and cancelled because of inability to arrange pay mont. Some business has come for ward on fine fancy wash goods of novelty character and there has been a little more buying of spring goods ranging in price from 13c to 65c a yard In unfinished goods lines prices have gone lower and the trading has been very light. Unbranded lines of bleached cottons are offered at lower prices. Liquidation is still noted in many lines of staples and convertibles, but On the whole there has been more of a response to new values this week than there was week ago.
 Yarn markets are lower and very ir- regular in price. Curtailment of pro- auction has increased very much since the first Of the month, some centers now operating hardly 40 per cent of capacity. Wage reductions are be- coming more general.
 Prices are: Print cloths, 2S-inch s4& 64s. 7c; 64x60s. exc; 3Sh inch 64xs4s, '1ec; brown ssheetings, southern stand ards 15c; denims, 2.20s indigo, 25c; tiekings, S-ounce, BOG; prints. 12c; sta- Ple ginghan, 1115c and FOG; dress gjnghams, 25c and 27c.

Weekly Financial Review
By Associated Press

New York, November 13.-Additional downward turn of values in the se- curities market this week accompanied the further Ievelling of prices in the commodities markets. Losses of to almost 25 points in a wide varie.y of stocks established low records .or a period of 1 to years.
 The same reasons of general eco- homie character which proved effective during the proceeding fortnight vcle again operative, Chief among ehese were the tense credit situation. further diminution of production in alm ost every branch of manufacture and col lapse of foreign exchange.
 Heavy accessions to the country's unprecedented gold holdings and re- turn to this market of vast sums re- leased from crop moving centers failed to bring any relief to the strained monetary situation. save for ternpo- try easement of demand loans
 Tn the steel and iron trades and :uore particularly in the textile and kindred industries the reversal made grea.e r progress with consequent reduction of wage schedules. contracted payrolls and increased unemployment sev eral of the leading railway systems s.n- nouncing further laying off of em- ployeS.
 The break In international remit, tances appear affected practically every financial center of importance on the hemisphere, excepting the British Is es. It extended to South and Central Amer ioa, where trade distortions threatened the international obligations.
 The note of qualified optimism sounded by the federal reserve board respecting future conditions was shared by conservative banking interests which, however. again stressed the inn portance of limiting credit sto essential projects.
 For the first time, since the early autumn no new cap issues were an- nounced and the trend ofe the bond market suggested that latest events had prompted increased caution on fhe part of investors.
