Try the time the entire house

- were eight men and five
women; all outwardly presentable
at first glance. In actual fact q

social Outcasts, blackballed to

raked out of London.
Lunch was served at once and
proved a hilarious meal. Lady
Tallbois presided at her first func-
ton as hostess, and the details are
best passed over. Nor is it nee
essary to linger over the events
or the afternoon. Castleshannon
raided the stables and some
scratch races were organized in
the park. Agnes. whose eyes were
shining with excitement, was made
much of to her face and laughed
at very thoroughly behind her
back. Several of the guests at
tempted to get her to themselves
for various reasons of their own,
but they were detached by the
watchful Drummond, who was
more than a match for any of
them.
Throughout the day, in fact,
Drummond steered her tactfully
through all difficulties; she recog.
nized his aid, and was more than
grateful. There were many quaint
incidents, but nothing startling
happened until dinner, when Lady
Tallbois appeared in an evening
gown Of pale pink silk, diamond
star over her forehead, and took
her place at the head of the
table.

Knayth cellars flowed like water,

of company that was consuming

had fine sense of social values
and had quickly sized up the
guests upon whom he was wait
ing.
Toward the end of the dinner
Lord Castleshannon rose to his
feet, his eyes nearly as pink as
Lady Tallbois' gown, and turned
toward her with trimming glass
in his hand.

He made q florid and flowing
speech, which, absurd though it
was, made Agnes flush and laugh
with pleasure. For some time

standing up.

CHAPTER ~.
'SThe TTnbidden Witness "

The long dining hall was empty,
The fragments Of the Knayth Cob
let had been swept up, the scat
tered jewels gathered. On the
table still stood the dessert and
the wine. not yet removed
Lady Tallbois came into the
room very quietly, as though she
was seeking a refuge where she
could be alone. She was as pale
as her dark complexion would
ever allow her to be, and wore q
strangely forlorn look. After
staring dumbIy round the room,
she allowed her supple body to
drop Imply into an armchair.
II don't know" she muttered,
that I'm getting much out of a
peerage and a million, even now
that they're mine"
Outside the half open window,
a pair of eyes were watching her
furtively. They were barely Wis
ible-merely couple of points of
light in the gloom. She did not
see them.
II don't have any luck at ALL"
murmured Agnes.
With a bitter little sob, she COW
cred her face with her hands.
For some time she remained so.
There was dead silence in the
room.
Presently the door opened gent

Until she died, Clancy would

sought her pleasure in listening to
the music of the BIRDS" the answers
tell vivid story of life in Illinois
homes. The home maker, extolled by
others in song and story, finally has
written her own epic, officials of the
economics association believe.
Purpose of QUESTIONABLE
The purpose of the questionable
was to gather information on which
to base a practical schedule of house
hold work, giving woman an equaliz-
ed ratio of work and recreation.
The women are asked the size of
the family, number of boys and girls,
names of father and mother, their
ages, whether there were any rela-
tives living in the home dependent
on the family, how much time was
devoted to household work, how
much to recreation, and what sort
of labor saving apparatus was in the
home. The QUESTIONABLE was ac-
companied by seven blank pages or
which the women were to put down
their schedule of work for each day
in the week.
The answers showed that. there is
greater sharing of work and play in
the farm home than in the city home
That is, country women work more
and play more than do city women.
1t was also shown that in the homes
of the high grade workingmen there
was fine cooperation between hus-
band and wife and children. The
size of the home averaged eight
rooms, although it varied from two
to eighteen. One-third of the homes
reported no pantries, and one-third
had no baths.
Other Facts Brought Out
Other facts brought out were: For
ty per cent of the women carried
the water they used from wells, while
about six per cent had running water.
One-half of the homes were lighted
by electricity, one-tenth by gas and
one-third by lamps. Fuel showed
many combinations, but wood was
more used than any other fuel, then
came coal and oil, coal in winter and
oil in summer, and in one home only
corn cobs were used. Sixty-two per
cent of the homes had furnaces and
thirty-nine stoves.
IOWSI uIlNcll WdSulIlS machines
were in ffty-three per cent of the
homes, and one-ffth of them had
hand power machines. Thirty-seven
per cent had no washers at ALL
Brought An Apology
Ten to fifteen minutes was the
average time spent in eating a meal.
Forty-fve to sixty minutes spent at
table brought an apology.
The versatility of the home maker
was shown by one woman who spent
her time as follows: Intending auto
top, one hour; baseball, thirty min
utes; stocking, fifteen minutes"
AS for recreation, there were pic
mics and auto trips and club meet
ings. Nearly every one read some
thing.
Care of children was listed as work
by some women and as recreation by
others.
