Wash Silks Can BeLaundered
 Easily

THE silk wash frocks that are So popular this summer can be easily
 laundered at kome. The work should be done quickly so the colors do not run.
 Add one tablespoonful of any relia' ble soap flakes to a quart of very hot water and whisk it until you have good suds; then add cold water until the soapy solution is almost cool. Press the garment up and down in this, working the studs through the soiled spots. Rinse in several waters of same temperature as the first until the last water is clear. Squeeze the gar ment instead of wringing it Hang in the shade and iron before it becomes dry. Do not sprinkle silks, this causes spots.
 Silk can be ironed either on the wrong or right side. In latter case cover with a thin cloth; this method is preferable if the silk is very thin.
 If the silk is too wet when ironed it may become stiff and papery which is quite objectionable. Never use a hot iron as this will injure the fibre, it also gives an unnatural stiffness to the silk and may change the color.
 If you want to retain the original crispness use gum arabic. Add about two level teaspoonfuls of the powdered gum to one quart warm water. Strain through a cloth and use this as the final rinsing water. It is advisable to have this ready before beginning to wash as silk should be speedily put through the entire washing process.

OAAAA 4AAAo AVV
 TJHE train was nearing New York.
 Rain was dashing against the
 car windows.
 Marian Horton tried to shut out the thoughts that thronged her brain-rec- ollections of visits she, Lois and her father had made to the great city in the days that were no more. Then the approach to the metropolis had thrilled her with joy.
 | Now she was burdened with a sense of depression and oppression. She won dered if it were a premonition.
 Already she was homesick-homesiek for the place she had believed she would be glad to leave. She even re- membered Lois with longing. Suppose the child should be ill, or unhappy But she would not be, of course. Lois was seldom ill. And if she were Tn trouble of any kind she could summon the two school teachers who rented the rooms on the upper floor of the Horton house. Marian seldom gave them a thought, except when they paid their rent. But now she was conscious or warming of the heart toward these comparative strangers. 1t was because they were in the home she had just left.
 She was assailed by dreadful doubts as to the wisdom of the step she had taken. Only those who have gone through an ordeal of uncertainty can understand her abject misery.
 Yet when at last the train rolled into tke Grand Central Station, she seized her handbag and suitcase and followed the other passengers from the car. She shook her head with determination at the porter who offered to her baggage. She must begin here and now to save money. She was strong and would not pay unnecessary tips.
 She had packed a trunk and left if at home subject to her orders. With her she had brought only such clothing as she was sure she should need.
 Arrived at the entrance of the sta tion she paused. The rain was anrning to sleet. Her fellow passengers had been met by welcoming friends or had hurried off with a certainty of purpose that showed they were not strangers in the great city.
 Taxi, ma'amY a porter asked. But again she shook her head. Going out into the street, she hailed a passing car marked Forty-second Street Crossing She asked the conductor to let her out at Eighth avenue. Here she took a downtown car, and at the end of ten minutes reached the address she sought.

 Not my girlish looks, but my girlish go, is what women envy most. For mine is the freside age. Yet four times daily appear, ever on my toes, acting like a girl in her teens.

CHAPTER aS
morning I sat long over

THAT morning I sat long over my
 coffee after Manville had left.
 Had I been wrong in other cases where I had accused him In my mind of being with Mrs. Markham? My face burned as I remembered what l had done the night before and I breath ed a prayer of thankfulness that I had not been observed. I felt very humble and went about my tasks in a very different spirit than I should had Man. vile not enlightened me as to his com panions of the night before.
 June and Mrs. Clayton both called during the morning. I explained my looks by saying had one of my head aches. Neither made any further re- mark. although I half expected the next time went anywhere to hear that Mrs. Clayton had reported had been crying and given her own version of the cause.
 Regardless of my headache and my hot and swollen eyes, was so happy I longed to take June into my confidence and tell her how mistaken had been in Manville. But could not very we'll explain my misery unless also told of the espionage, of which was now most heartily ashamed So I refrained from mentioning anything of the circum. stances to her, although she remained some time after Mrs. Clayton left.
 T am going to give another bridge, Susan. It is a shame that your light should be hidden under a bushel," she added with a laugh. You play a per fectly dandy game and none of your friends, or Manville's either, know it. am going to give you regular com ing out bridge party. You are a de- butante at the game. Just wait and see how astonished they will all be. If you don't win the prize l swear l will never speak to you again"
 Don't get me nervous by talking like that or I surely will not win it." I replied, yet felt no fear that my play ing would be criticized. I had worked too hard and knew the rules by heart. Yet as June told off on her fingers those whom she proposed to invite l saw I should have to keep all my wits about me and not allow myself to feel nervous over the outcome.
 Manville wis very nice when the in vitation came.

 The famous feat of Lord Byron ir swimming the Hellespont has been re peated by Capt. D. Pratt Mannix, Oi the United States navy. The swim was accomplished by Captain .Manni1 on October 6, 1923, a fact authenti cated by the following document signet by an officer and three petty officers who followed the swimmer in a smal boat to act as witnesses:
 'aThis is to certify that on October 6, 1923, Capt. D.

was sure he must have done. Now his freckled face wore n puzzled look. Just coming out of the house was Farmer Brown.
 Hi, dad! Please come over here and count my chickens for me-. called Farmer Browns boy. Farmer Brown came and counted the chickens, all the time wondering why he had been asked to.
 Il made twenty-one," said he; 'ten black and eleven white"
 Count lem again !" cried Farmer Browns boy eagerly.
 So Farmer Brown counted them again, and just as before he got ten black and eleven white. Just what I make the countw cried his boy. I've counted and counted until hardly know if am on my head or my heels, and always get it the same"
 Farmer Brown looked as if he didn't understand it all. s'Well, what of it?' he asked at last.

We Women

Three Men
 WTOMEN seemed to want to serve w on juries in the state of New
 York, as a matter of political privilege and right, but three men, among others, opposed it. The national woman's party was behind the bill with that idea in mind, and it was interest ing and amusing to note that the three men who so strenuously objected to it were unmarried. They accused the women in charge of the promotion of the legislation with attempting to de stroy love, home and family life.
 l ask you!
 Isn't that just like men?
 What, bluntly, do those three bache- lors know about love anyhow? They haven't even given it chance, and yet they presume to speak with some au- thority about 1t. Besides, what spe- cific information have they tending to show that love and homes and family life actually have been destroyed by women serving on juries? l could take their argument more seriously if only one of them confessed to having broken or destroyed a home or family. But they came into court with clean hands and they admitted they were unmar- ried.
 The three bachelors went even fur ther. When equality comes in at the door," they said, love flies out of the window" This, of course, is old stuff, but I am by no means convinced they are right. When did they ever see love fly out the window? Would they rec ognize love if they saw it? Their knowledge of the subject; at best, is second hand. No court would accept hearsay evidence as legal testimony.
 Perhaps the lack of equality between those who try to build happy homes i, responsible for the wrecks of SO many families. Equality is a synonym oi justice. Justice like love, should work both ways. Privileges should be tht same, even in such a comparatively in significant matter as the right to serve on juries.
 Men who object to su; a thing ar, merely prejudiced and no prejudiceC man can disc ;s equality of love. Un married men who venture to talk abou it only make grotesque fools out ci themselves.
