inspectors were all too busy asking
Claire what her mother looked like
and what hotel she stayed at; and
Claire would use her exquisite hand
kerchief on her more exquisite eyes
and say she supposed 1t was Hotel
d'Angleterre-they always stopped at
d'Angleterres when they travelled.
Finally I managed to induce an inspec-
tor to take his eyes off Claire for a
minute and devote them to the bag
gage of middle-aged person-my-
self-and he cast glance over my
suitcase and Mrs. Delario's. which was
open on a bench beside mine, and said
That's all right. Where does the
young lady come from, and isn't 1t
awful her mother isn't here. and may
be she's met with an accident on the
way and been killed"
Claire heard him-and almost faint

these words I noticed that one of the

seconds later saw my cousin. who

stances. perfectly natural thing to
do? Well, the moral is "don't''-don't
you're sure It's yours. That old slip
per nearly cost me my sanity and my
life!
Now when I unpacked I found the
slipper, but even then 1t didn't occur
to me that 1t wasn't mine-I merely
wondered how I'd lost the mate, ard 1t
was couple of days before I got to
the bottom Of the other suitcase and
found my own pair neatly done up In
tissue paper. OF course l knew In
stantly that the old slipper was Mrs.
Delario's. and remembered then how
I'd carried 1t off; but didn't have a
box suitable for sending 1t through the
mail to her, so 1 set 1t on chest

Braid and buttons have been the ac-
eustomed decorations for suits for so
long time that we take them as n
matter of course and are not surprised
to find them among any seasons pro-

when they almost disappear and then
comes time when there is no getting
away from them. They have been ut

We had some discussion on this,

this incident that started us talking
gems and gem values. subject that
had been my pet delight since child
hood when learned the story of the
ring that was one day to be my own.
A few days later she came to my
stateroom with very mysterious air,
said she had some stones she would
like TO have me value for her, and pro-
duced a package of topazes. She said
she had bought them in a little town
in Belgium.

for it. She appeared so much i'm

may some day"
l didn't think anything of this at the
