 am so glad I found you, deal little secret drawer.
 I shall keep as long as shall live your one secret and I will never dis. close your hiding place to anyone. am quite sure when John'' mother gave me this beautiful desk that she never had an idea of inc wonderful treasure she was bestow- 1 ing on me. It is the dearest posses sion I have.
 1 It thrills me through and through l to think that I have found this so- cret drawer which has held for hun dreds of years only this scrap of paper upon which is written: "I hope whoever shall come after me, that finds this hidden. drawer, will make it, as I have, a reccptical of all h.. hearts secrets.
 "One of the greatest mistakes a woman can make is to let anyone see into the inmost recesses of her soul. Yet we poor feminine things are built in such way that at times we must dsgorge our over- charged hearts.
 Invariably when we do this to mortals we come to find disillusion and grief. but this dear place of silence has kept all my secrets and know it will keep those of the next woman who finds her way to it.
 They tell me now that I am going to die. and so I am taking back my condolences and laying them. one by one, upon the fire, for no one, not even those who have loved me best, may know-as these yellowing sheets of paper could tell--that the gay little Marauise. as they called mo at the court, was beloved of a king"
 Who was the gay little Mar quise?" I do not know. but I do know that she loved devotedly and was loved in return; and by king.
 In this secret drawer she Hlaid her heart and this silent friend she has passed on 10 me.
 Oh, gay little Marauise, I am sorry for you tonight for both you and your kingiy lover have been dust for hum dreds of years. Probably in some for gotten garden in France the old rose trees arc whispering to each other or when he picked g blossom, kissed 1t and gave it to you and you placed 1t above your heart. Those rose-trees are waiting--wsiting until you come again, and you are dust.

i Dear little Marquise. I wish you I could know that my love has just be- gun, for tomorrow ] shall go to m,
 lover to be his until death do Us part"
 Tomorrow will begin that new life, that life for which every woman feels herself born; life the fulness and bliss of which every woman dreams; life the loss of which is the greatest tragedy that can come to any one of her sex.
 wonder if every girl on her we'd ding eve looks forward to the never ending happiness that is to come to me. wonder if before my mother slipped away from her fathers house to become my fathers wife, she was thinking the thoughts that l am thinking now. It seems 10 me, dear little Marquise, that no one, not even you, has loved and is loved as |.
 First in this new life there will be the joy of belonging. Has every ether woman's soul thrilled as mine does when her lover whispers, Sweetheart you are mine?" AL ready have learned this means more than all else the desire to pos sess and to be. possessed in turn.
 John will belong to me. In all the world there will be no one as near to him as l. When he is happy, will be happy; when he sorrows. I must grieve and even if disgrace should come it will be mine to share.
 After tomorrow we two will be one.
 Oh, gay little Marquise. am afraid that you never were quite happy because In :he vague message that you have left behind, it seems that you could not acknowledge your lover before the world. You never had the delicious thrill of pride in your lover. Only this little secret drawer knew that you were his and he was yours.
 But tomorrow, I---Leslie Hamilton --am going to proclaim my love to the whole wide world. Tomorrow l am going to John before God and man with pride on my brow, love on my lips and devotion in my heart.
 Poor little Marquise. My tears are falling on your written confession. I am sorry for you as l contrast your love---your lover with mine.
 You loved king whom you could not acknowledge.
 I love q man whose love for me is to be proclaimed tomorrow where : Il the world may hear.

What Grace Draper Threatened When She Discovered Katherine Vas
 in Iha NcNI Rnnm


 She Discovered Katherine Vas
 in the Next Room
 'lf you weren't so cross" Linda whined childishly, T could tell you q lot more about that nurse"
 Grace Draper eyed her keeny,
 I'm not cross, you little fool" she said indulgertly. Go ahead and spill all the gossip you've got in your sys- tenn"
 Well, in the first place she isn't a prisoner, like this one"--shc jerked a contemptuous hand toward me. She's here to take care of the sicK man, and she's allowed to go through the halls most times. and down 10 the kitchen al certain hours, And the man is somebody's white haired boy all right. The Prince himself came 10 see him last night"
 The devil he did !" Grace Draper calculated. Now, what does that mean?'
 Madgc Pleads For Katherine.
 She strode up and down the room for few seconds, evidently ponder ing Linda's revelation.
 T don't like the idea Of the nurse" she said at last. "The man is prob ably one of us. l wonder If she is. What does she look like"
 She ain't bad-looking dame," Linda said judicially. "A bit smaller than this one, with brown hair and brown eyes, and little bits Of hands"
 Without warning, Grace Draper whirled and fixed her eyes upon my face, In my tense interest in Lindas description of Katherine Pickett had forgotten Lillian's first command ment of a poker face" and I saw, too late. that Grace Draper, her merfl- ory challenged by Linda's description, had discovered my intense interest in Linda's description
 So " she said after seconds de- liberation, T think I'll get lamp at this nurse"
 She hurried out Of the room while came back a few minutes later, her body was quivering with rage.
 T though so." she said, towering above me. She's your friend, and she's been planted in this job. We'll. there's one comfort Neither she nor you will ever get out of here to spill anything
 For Katherine I did what I would have scorned to do for myself:
 She stood by you once," I remind ed her. for weeks--brough you back from death itself-''
 "l'd Start the Third Degree-' A sneering little laugh interrupted me. You'll probably admit yourself that she might have been in better business, she said, and there was no hint of any softening in her tone. Nay, nay. little one," she went on mockingly, don't deIude yourself I haven't hundredth cubic inch of soft feeling left in my system for any body. let alone any friend of yours. II have no delusions concerning you" l answered with steady voice. t Thor would have asked any favor for myself.' She laughed again, and there was something. in her laughter far more sinister than imprecations.
 Which shows you have lingering remnant of common sense,' she com mented, then turned to Linda,
 You'll probably have this baby on your hands till tomorrow, Linda" she said. "Ill relieve you some time in the night so you can get some sleep and I'll look in on you once in awhile. Blast her--she can sleep if she wants . to. while I've got enough on hand to

FOOD LUXURIES
BY BERTHA E. SHAPLEIGH or Columbia University

 There comes time, perhaps in April or May, or in some parts of the country December and January. when the housewife in buying supplies is sorely tempted to buy, what seems to her, unwiscly and possibly cxtrav- agantly. There aye vegetables and fruits which arc a little out of season, and she longs to purchase delicacy for the family. There is, think, a Justification for such expenditure at times, and the wise woman will buy pleasure giving" foods, and balance her budget by having a cheaper cut of meat or less expensive vegetable another day. If during the week a meal or two contain surprise--sg fovorite dessert, or D cake or pie. an unusual salad. or a choice cut or meat, the housewife can keep her family satisfied and happy. It is the deadly monotony Of food. no matter how good 1t may be, that we cannot stand without fussing.
 Sometimes the color of strawberries are as appealing as the flavor. Who cannot be moved by the combination of strawberries, sugar, butter, hot biscuits and cream? In combination it is the fashioned" strawberry shortcake which some consider the only real" one. Others are equally pleased with cake filled with berries, and white on top, with beaten cream.
 For breakfast or lunch on a warm spring day is there any dish more inviting than broiled shad roe on bed of watercress' ~
 Or some days there will be mush- rooms in the market, cheap and good. One can make meal of creamed and salad.
