CHAPTER CLXXXIX.


 It was with a gasp of amazernent that I stepped over the threshold of the ballroom at Carlier's- Naturally Valerie Cosby had taken charge of the arrangements for her own. dance. and those arrangements passed any flights of which my imagination was capable. The thought of the cost staggered me.
 A soft green light pervaded every thing. The great ballroom had been made to look like a fairytale grotto under the sea- In the centre was a fountain of crystal spray, sparkling in green and blue light, and in the pool below it floa.ed white water. At one end of the room there was . crystal grotto leading off to q con- servatory hung in rare sea plants At the further end two giant shells of pale pink. one to hold the orchestra playing Hawaiian waltzes. was draped in green sea weed and red hibiscus The other was half hidden behind moss-hung rocks that looked like cliffs. From it the band blared out one-steps. The chandeliers were of crystal, and green lights played on | them and the crystal balcony In this strange light the women moved around like pale wratths. weighed down with brocades and tis- sues and gleaming jewels. Everyone looks half-drowned, " muttered Jim. You're a white lilac now, Anne" He looked critically at my simple costume of pale green silk, | hung with petal on petal of cloudy | lavender tulle
 ! Now soft gold radiance lighted the crystal grotto. and a big seasheH | chariot, drawn by white ponies, | swung out of it In this sat Valerie | Cosby, creamy and beautiful in the | light, that served to soften her ripe | lips and bring out seaweee glints in Il her lacquer black hair Valerie. smil- | ing in languorous triumph and kiss ing her hand and crying aloud well l splendent in the blue and green robe about which she had built her whole | evening.

ANNOYING NAILS.

Finger nails are such small things and yet they are so curiously sensi- tive that a rough bit of skin pulled off hastily will start a sore that will be annoying for weeks. Perhaps it's their very smaliness, and their apparent ,insignificance. that causes them to be so much neslected-in re- taliation for which they will develop all sorts of troubles.
 They do not need much care and it does not take much time to keep them in condition But the care must be intelligent, or the time will thing to remember is that the nails. like every other part of the body, sometimes require to be fed.
 We all know the sad story told by any pair of old, work-worn hands the blunted finger tips. enlarged knuckles, marked. misshapen nails There is something unusually pa thetic about hands that have labored story. too-the woman or girl who does not have to do more than -he average amount of labor. who simply doesn't know how to look after her nails. Here are some simple direc- tions:
 Give them a minutes care a day. rather than an hour once in two weks. Scrub them with soap and water; clean with the tip of the file dipped in q bottle of lemon juice if there are any stains on the fingers; shape every other day with piece of punice board-4O seconds time this takes: above all. push back the cuticle daily with an orange wood stick-this gives that clean edge ev- cry woman SD desires 10 see And rub the nails with cream every day if they are dry. every few days otherwise If you want the cuticle cream. which is healing and astrinrent and saves many hours manicuring. send to me for the for mula of 1t I know It's value ana will be glad to send it
