LET us talk over your Palace o.

And as time went on they elaDora'
ed and amplified the idea. as tht
needs Of the people among whom the!
lived became more apparent to them
To him 1t was fanciful idea. largely
of interest because it gave him oppor
tunity to talk with the little dress
maker. To her, 1t was the opportun
ity for which the greatest heiress II
England had gone searching In White
chapel.
But first came the "Stepney Dress
makers Association" Never befor
had London seen such business, con
Quoted upon such extraordinary prin
ciples. The young women employees
actually were encouraged to leave
their work at certain hours, te
exercise and play. They were fur
nished appetizing food at the expense
of the shop. Lawn tennis courts wen
provided for them. In the evenings
they were encouraged to dance ano
sing. And a share Of the earning Of
the establishment was theirs.
Miss Kennedy's hacker in this ven
ture was supposed to be the wealthy
Miss Messenger, Of the brewery. The
young cabinet-maker, already deep In
love with the dressmaker, suggested
that Miss Kennedy might persuade
Miss Messenger to start the Palace OF
Delight, as he now called it.
"What is a Palace Of Delight" he
was asked.
"Truly wonderful it u.s." said Harry,
ito think how monotonOus are the
gifts and requests Of rich men.
Schools, churches, almshOuses, hos
pitals-that is all; that Is their
monotonous round" Then he proceeded
to give his imagination full sway In q
day-dream that. unknown to him for
the time being, was to become won
derful reality through the magic Of
the Messenger millions.
While the Palace was growing, Miss
Kennedy, through her supposed influ.
snce with the unseen Miss Messenger
was bringing sunshine into the lives
Of the poor folk Of Mrs. Bormalack's
boarding house. The seekers for
peerage were set up In the Messenger
mansion in the city, and had q taste
Of all that wealth could bestow. The
discoverer of the Tablets Of Stone had
his discovery put into a book. and was
sent home to Australia glowing with
Joy and pride. The sleight-of.h
man was given opportunity to prove
his skill. and proposed marriage in re.
turn. All this through the dressmak.
er's Influence" with the heiress Of
the brewery.
The young cabinet-maker, for his
part, found the long-missing valuables
and freed the old clerk from the sus.
picions he had labored under for thir.
ty years. At the same time, Harry
discovered proof that he himself was
fairly well-to-do person.
He laid his heart and fortune at the
feet Of the dressmaker. The day for
the wedding was set.
All this time. be 1t remembered, the
young man had no inkling of the girls
identity; nor did he know that his
imaginary Palace Of Delight actually
was taking form In brick and stone
The girl. however, had long since dis
covered the secret Of Harry's life.
Harry saw his Palace Of Delight
only when all was completed. It con.
tanned a great hall, where a thousand
couples could dance without crowd.

ground for children. There was a con.
cert room, with organ and piano and
platform; rooms for painting. draw

small arts.
> I'm the Palace Of Delight" said An.
gela. I'VE shall not be like a troop Of
jewellers. thinking Of nothing but
dance and song and feasting. We
shall learn something every day; we
shall all belong to the same class.
This is our own palace. the club Of
the working people; we will not let
anybody make money out Of it. We
shall use 1t for ourselves, and we shall
make our enjoyment by ourselves
The first notes of the great organ
OF the Palace were the wedding
march Of the girl and the man. The
first festivities within the walls at.
