hurt me, as if she hated to remind me that I had not supplied an heir for the Lorimer fortune. That fact came up every day of my life. Chrys referred to it more than once, and suggested that look into the future, through the vision of some spirit control. I Ob- jected strenuously: in fact, the family was getting pretty tired of the seance habit We had so much ouija de- mentia in the family for the next few weeks that we rejoiced when Chrys announced that her agents had found at last nice tight little yacht. It was in San Francisco harbor. and she and Katherine Miller would start west at once.
 "Of course our Chrys has picked the finest thing of it's class. Bob an nounced when he heard the name of the yacht. The Blue Bird'' was built for western lumber king. She has made a dozen trips between San Fran cisco and Honolulu"
 have often wondered if Chrys real ized that she was undertaking that voyage partly for the sake of conceal ing her heartache. Her affairs cc. : tainly moved pretty rapidly after she had had q certain lengthy interview with Jordan Spence. Of course no one can guess the details of that unhappy hour, but they must have been some thing pretty awful, l should say. At any rate, Jordan Spence, who is the most polite of men. fairly rushed from the house. He had to write Mother a little note the next day. And Chrys went straight to bed after that talk with her lover. She said that prob ably she had touch of flu and she would like to be left entirely ot herself, and the ministrations of her maid.
 At the end of three days she came one risen from the dead. She never spoke" of Jordan Spence and of course no one else dared to do so.
 If she insists on wrecking her hap piness on her silly belief in spiritism nobody can save her. said Bob. But I wish Spence had thrown her ouija board out of the window before he left"
 I've read of unhappy lovers who came to grief on account of their re- ligious differences, but never, never before have 1 heard of a romance being shattered to bits for the sake of a few ghosts. more or less"
 "Chrys is honest, at least" said her twin. A lot of girls think a husband will stand for any kind of silly busi- ness after the wedding. They do not play fair. Some of them intend to sit down and wish their way through life which means that the husband has got to hustle some. But you can bet that the lazy kind never give away their system-until they have the man tied tight"
 Poor Chrys will certainly pay dear ly for her honesty. Maybe a trip around the world will cure her heart ache.'
 Here's hoping It sounds like a big adventure, of course. for two girls to cruise around just as two men would do- But the dangers dwindle-only don't tell Chrys so-the dangers shrink quite little bit when you remember that we can keep in touch with Chrys by wireless most of the time Thanks to modern science, Chrys can't lose herself on the seven seas, you know. If she could, I'd certainly object to her little project for rescuing her father Gro Be Continued)

When Hostess EntertainS At
 Spring Party

Original invitations to an early spring party may be sent out in tn. form of spring rhymes or jingles, writ ing them on pale green paper and tying them with yellow ribbon
 The rooms may be appropriately dec orated with apple blossoms. These are quickly made by pasting on bare branches little blossoms cut out from pink paper. Other spring flowers can also be utilized for decorations.
 Unusual place cards may be made by pasting a pussy willow on the card drawing head. tail and whiskers around it. Then sketch in 3 baclS~round ap- propriate for the person. For instance. the bride-to-be's card should show | s1t admiring bride, the home loving girl would receive a cat before a kitchen range, the book fiend a spec tacled cat busily reading.
 X popular game to start the evening is to tangle string all over the room. Each person is given an end and told to wind up his or her ball. Each string ends in a favor. In another game, pen ciIs and paper arc passed around. A cross the top of the paper arc written the words. girl curl. spring. ring, or any other similar words.
