CHAPTER CCI-
 It wasn't until Saturday morning that I had any way of guessing whether or no a weekend spent with the Cosbys. would be pleasant
 Friday evening was taken up in motoring to the Inlet House, dining there and getting settled That evening was too busy and rushed to have any particular flavor of its own pleasant or otherwise
 I woke Saturday morning with that queer feeling of uncertainty that generally greets one in a strange bed The room was steeped in gray. yet the hush of early morning wasn't over the world. Lifting myself on dangling from its chain looped over the head-board of his bed. Nine Not early a bit
 got up and tip-toed into the bath room. Then I found out that instead of our room being the dark and dreary inside room I had thought. this was a gray and desolate day. Cold rain sianted down. Little gusts of wind rustled the green-tipped branches of bushes and trees The window-shade, flying out in the wide space where the top sash had been drawn down. Tapped back and forth just out of reach
 Everything seemed horribly de-
 
 1 days in the country before. Days of sewing and going bustling about the household tasks Days spread out happily toward an evening of apples 1 stocking alarming and patching and reading of news aloud to make every one cosy and cheery.
 But I didn't fool myself about this day. It would be nothing like those | I remembered so longingly. It wasn't.
 Before I was dressed Valerie Cosby telephoned that I must breakfast with her in her room, since Lane in | sisted that he and Jim would shoot fast down in the grill and had read the papers. Now breakfast in any l bedroom is a pet aversion of mine | But when it's some one else's bed

 however. so I accepted with my bes, imitation of alacrity-
 I found Valerie propped up on three or four pillows She wa:

 around her head was an oriental tur,

 Lovelorn

 and Romance.
Marring at Eighteen.

MarrinS at Eighteen.
 Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 25, with a college education.
 have recently met several young ladies, but there is only one among them I could love. She is IS, poor and pleasing, but the others are rich. like the poor girl very much and can Sympathize with her and can give her a beautiful home and everything she needs. She reciprocates my love. The only obstacle is the parents Of the girl. They believe that a girl Of l 8 is too young to marry; and sec ondly, that she ought to help in the house little longer.
 Show a little more character. Of what good are your college education and the success of which you sepak if you haven't enough stamina to get what you want If you are not man enough to wait for the girl-nor yet to fight for her, you deserve to lose her. Go and prove your right to have what you want.

other details of everyday Egyptian

other details of everyday Egyptian life.
 These two are evidently original ideas, woven into the silk tapestries by use the objects that they saw before them as they sat at their looms in the open.
 American women are particularly indebted to Marie Antoinette because it was she who was responsible for the reduction of the size of designs used on silk. In those days of the very full skirts and elaborate trains large designs on fabrics were effective. whereas with the American styles of today very large designs would show as splotches rather than decorative embellishments. Therefore when Marie Antoinette abolished large designs and instituted an art regime Of smaller and more dainty motifs she conferred a real boon upon millions Of women who were to follow her.
 To bring the story of design as ap- piled to fabrics for women's wear up to date would mean to write a vol ume, and even if that volume were compiled it would necessarily show throughout a distinct influence exert ed by women.
 Art of the Land.
 Although few American women realize it, the colors which they find pleasing and popular are created and decided upon for their benefit right in the United States and are prepared at least one year in. advance of the time that they appear on the market The designs for the silks and other fabrics are usually bought in Paris at the studios of designers who still draw heavily for ideas upon the early art of their own country. Some of those designs are brought out a few weeks after purchase and some are kept for as long as ten years until the manu- lecturers here feel that some particu- lar design or designs will prove popu' lar. And again it is the women who influence those decisions.

Why be so anxious about your souls salvation You didn't make your soul and you're not fitted to judge what saves or damns it. All you have to do is to keep 1t functioning along in kindliness and common sense. A lot of us would be more humble and polite if we'd put our own souls on the rummage counter and begin to look for the values in the other fellows system

 There are lots of adventures in life Hunting lions, building homes, eating tomales, all such are attend ed with dangers and delights But the greatest adventure of all is NE1GHBORING WITH FOLKS. No matter what it costs you in time, money or heart strain, that game is worth playing for its own sake It is the ELMER OF YOUTH if you go at it rightly, looking for the pow CT and beauty that lie in every hu- man soul, and the punch and laughter that may come from every human contact.
