and blot out the recollection. She felt
that she had been contaminated.
Presently Madeline Hammond again
awoke to the fact she had learned
the preceding n%Ight--that there were
emotions n which she had heretofore
been a stranger. She scarcely remem-
bered when she had found It neces-
sary to control her emotions. There
had been no trouble, no excitement.
no unpleasantness In her life. 1t had
been ordered for her-tranquIl. luxu-
rious. brilliant, varied, yet always the
same.
Then Madeline heard Florence rap
on the door and call softly:
"Miss Hammond. Are you awaken"

Presently there were slow. reluctant
steps outside the front door. then a
pause. and the door opened. Stewart
stood bareheaded In the sunlight. Mad
eline's glance ran over him swift
as lightning. But as she saw his face
now she did not recognize It.. The
mans presence reused in her a revolt.
Yet something In her, the incompre-
hensible side of her nature, thrilled In
the look Of this splendid dark-faced
barbarian.
"Mfr. Stewart. will you please come

Madeline went to the door. The
mans face was hard, yet Ii was sad,
too. And II touched her.
II shall not tell my brother OF your

1t was impossible for her to keep the

COlors for Evening

THE colored evening gowns
far outnumber the black, but,
in many houses. one finds black
models frightened with silver,
gold, steel enbroideries. or
touches Of bright color. Worth
has q series Of somber-toned
evening gowns-such as dead leaf
brown or gray-which give new
note to q world used to black,
white, or vivid color at night.
Cheruit's evening gowns are
either Of plain colored material,
citron velvet for example, made
with very long-waisted. tight
bodices, and skirts draped low on
the hips. or showing her long,
slender line, broken at the knees
in front by a frill Of the material,
or they are in her newest line,
which is short in front and trails
on the floor In the back, in a
rounded train. Martin ct Armand
show q new series Of their sur.
prise dresses; for example. q long.
beaded tunic Of tango colored
and silver beads is detachable and
reveals a simply draped silver
gown under It. which, is ITS slip,
but can be worn alone. Beers

Evening.

AN effort is being made by the
milliners to revive the evening
hat, for, they declare with some
reason, that large hat is never so
charming as when it is worm with
a decollete gown. But the large
evening hat, suitable for dining at
restaurants, must still dispute ia
vor with the head-dress which out
lines the form of the head and
keeps it sH1rll. Suzy uses tulle
for some charming examples Of
head.gear, which are half way be-
tween hats and head-dresses. One
of them consists Of q band Of rib

hair, which ties In a great bow

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root, physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle i'm
