averted, voice almost lnaudlble. They
were both standing now. Harrlet's head
turned aside, so that he could not see
her face, but her soft fingers resting In
his.

with rather confused laugh. He pat

Richard said, with more force than elo-

was partly amused and partly embar-

He watched the young, slender fig

they disappeared among the great
trees about the house.

Care Of Palma

Palms like plenty OF air at their

Idea TO stir the top soil In the pot
with little stick now and again.
Wash the outside Of the pot quite
often to remove the dirt accumulation
which makes the receptacle less por-

however, allowing the soil to remain

paused.
Well" Harriet said. 81 met Roynl
Blondin one night. He lived In our
WATERFOWL. He had a dreadful
artificial sort OF mother. My sister
didn't approve Of her at all. A friend
of his named Street was an artist. and
he had a nice little wife, and baby
and they lived In a big, barnlike sort
Of studio. II seemed wonderful to me
They loved each other, and their baby
hut they We're so free! They would
have the whole crowd to dinner
twenty of us, bread and red wine and
macaroni and music and talk: II was
wonderful-or thought so! II was
so different from Linda's ideas, of

and Five Hundred. loved the studio
and they-they all loved me, and he
-Royal-loved me especially. He used
to talk about Yogi philosophy and
Oriental religions and poetry, and oft.
or awhile II was understood among
them all that he loved me, and him
And we were engaged. OF course
Linda suspected, and there was oppo.
sition at home. but In the studio, help.
ing the Streets get their suppers, Il
seemed so right-so simplel Royal
said he did not believe In the orthodox
ceremony Of marriage. He argued that
no one could live up to Its promises,
and believed him. Miriam Street
the artists wife, was a poet, and she
wrote the ceremony by which we were
married. We had big supper, and
they were all there, and this poem
this marriage poem-was beautiful. II
was published In magazine, after
ward, and called a Marriage for True
Lovers II had part for the woman
TO say, and part for the man, and
Royal and I said those, and then II
had part for the woman's friend
and the mans friend, and for all their
friends. And then there was a promise
that when love failed on either side
the two we're free, to keep the memory
of the perfect love unstalned by the
ugly years"
She paused; Richard did not speak
She had told him this much In sim
pie, childish voice, voice that was an
echo of that old time, he knew. Pres
emily she went on:
There was music, and then they all
kissed me, and we had supper, and
they drank our health. I went back
that night to my sisters; Royal
stayed with his mother. We planned
to go away on our honeymoon the next
day. l did not tell Linda and Fred

 In person Mrs. Tempe Fitts Flaw kins is tiny and dainty, with soft white hair and sparkling black eyes. Now isn't that a lovely combination? She possesses a decided sense of humor and keen interest in all that goes on in the world. Miss Tempe" as she Is affectionately called by her intimates, is a welcome addition to any gathering. She is such good com pany. Her anecdotes are as clever and her whole conversation is so merry-her eyes twinkle with fun, and her wit is keen. Her friends often laughingly remark. Miss Tempe isn't going to miss a trick. She has just got to know, so one needn't waste time. but tell her at once what's go- ing on."
 She's cute, That's just what she Is. am quite sure that when she was a girl in her teens, there wasn't a prettier girl or one who had more chic as the French say than Tempe Fitts. She always halls me as Part ner," and l am delighted to stop and pass the time of day and tell her all the news. Her children pet and adore her.
 She Is a communicant of the Church of the Advent. All her people, and her hustAnd's people. were Episco- palians. Mrs. Hawkins has within her potent elixir of youth, and this makes people single her out as an Interesting person and one worth knowing.
