NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY


 Nicol Brinn, placing his hat upon his head. stepped out before the porch of the Cavalry club.
 The chauffeur closed the door, and returned again to the wheel Im- mediately the car moved away. At the illuminated number Nicol Brinn scarcely troubled to glance. Com mon sense told him that it was not that under which the car was regis tered. His interest, on the contrary was entirely focused upon a beauti- full car. which was evidently awaiting some visitor or member of the club. Glancing shrewdly at the chauffeur. a smart, military y-loolSing fellow. Nicol Brinn drew a card from his waist coat pocket. and resting it upon n wing in the light Of one of the lamps, wrote something rapidly upon it in pencil.
 Returning the pencil to his pocket: Whose car, my man" he inquired Of the chauffeur.
 Colonel Lord Wolverham's, sir
 Good" said Nicol Brinn, and put the card and a ten-shilling note into the mans hand Go right into the club and personally give Colonel Lord Wolverham this card. Do you un- derstand?"
 The man understood Used to dis eipline, he recognized the note of command in the speakers voice.
 Certainly, sir" he returned, with out hesitation: and stepping down upon the pavement he walked into the club.
 Less than two minutes afterward highly infuriated military gentle- man--who. as it chanced. had never even heard of the distinguished American traveler-came running out hatless into Picadilly, holding a crumpled visiting card in his hand. The card. which his chauffeur had given him in the midst of thrilling game, read as follows;

SELECTION OF TURKISH
TOWELS

BY looking at the smooth, plain bor-
der at the end of a Turkish towel, YOU
can get a better idea of it's quality
than In any other way. The finer and
more closely woven this border is, the.
better your towel.
Then examine the loops. A long,
loose loop will pull out much quicker
than one more tightly woven. The
best tQweling is made Of good yarns
two OF more threads are in each loop,
and the ground is substantial Sew
eral alternating threads hold the loops
in place, consequently they do not
readily pull out The poorer quality
of towels have an altogether less sub
stantial weave, and you can easily OBJ
serve this at the ends where there are
no loo45s.
Then, too, the closely woven, short
looped towels also feel much softer
and are pleasanter to use than the
loosely woven ones. These surface
loops hold the air and help in drying
the body, while a smoothly woven
towel would be much less effective
No doubt the majority of people pre-
fer the softer bath towels though for
men and women who delight in the
cold shower and the brisk rundown.
there are the coarser towels that pros
duce more friction. The Turkish
towels used in the majority of bath-
rooms are frankly all cotton; though
many linen Turkish towels are sold.
In order to meet the demand for a
cheap towel, manufacturers some
times use too great haste and careless
methods in the bleaching process, and
as a result the cotton in the towel
becomes overbleached and is greatly
weakened. You can generally tell
when a towel has been weakened in
the bleaching, by stretching the ma
terial tightly across the fingers, and
noting whether the threads give way
and spread apart too readily. Linen
towels are less likely to be affected
by too strong bleaching than cotton.
And it is because cotton does become
overbleached so easily that you must
use special care with Turkish towels
in the laundry
Newer kinds of bath towels are
made of porous material, the air being
factor in drying. These resemble
knitting, with the open meshes the
same size. The drying quality of
these towels is good, but soiled spots
are hard to eradicate.
Toweling may be purchased by the
yard but as this requires the house
wffe's time to scallop or hem the ends,
1t is seldom an economy.

SHOPPING FOR A SPOOL OF
THREAD

Some housewives think they are be-
ing economical when they buy cheap
sewing cotton, but the time actually
lost in using rotten or inferior thread
through breaking, and its poor wear,
turns what in the beginning may look
like a small economy into real ex-
pense
The best sewing cotton to buy is
a soft-fnished, round, slx-cord thread.
BY six-cord thread we mean that
two yarns or phys are twisted together,
and then three of these are twisted
IN the opposite direction.
The quality of. thread depends upon
the length of the cotton ibers used
in making it. The best thread is
made out of high-grade Sea Island
or Egyptian cotton, but 1ow-grade cot
ton is used in making up the cheaper
qualities, and basting threads.
But it is not so much the kind Of
cotton used, as it is correct spinning,
and freedom from knots and slugs,
that guarantees the housewife against
that worst possible annoyance-kink-
ing of her thread while sewing.
Some women prefer always to buy
waxed thread, because it kinks so
little. But it is just as well to know
that when the finish of such threads
is washed away in the laundry, they
are really weaker than the ordinary
soft-fnished cottons.
You buy the different sizes oG
thread by number. The higher the
number, the finer the thread SpooIs
of black and white cotton are put up
IN 81 sizes-from Nos. s to 200 Up to
100 the thread is six-cord, but above
that, it is usually three-cord.
A shopper is often disappointed to
find that she cannot get just the nuns
Der of thread that she, asks for. AS
a matter of fact, between the Nos. 100
and 200 there are six numbers, but
often only three or four different sizes
SO if you ask for No. 12O and cannot
End it, but can get No. 130 the.
chances are that the size Of the
thread will be about the same.
In buying, always notice the number
of yards printed on the spool label,
as well as the quality of the thread.
Remember that a very slight variation
in the shape of the spool may make
considerable difference in the amount
of thread you get for your money.
