Eternal Love Letter.

Whoever started the ancient pas
time of writing burning love epistles
certainly began "a deal of trouble for
the world.
While young people are madly in
love with each other-so that their
thoughts turn to poetry and tender
words and moonlight and all that
sort of thing-their first impulse is
to seize a pen and pour out their
hearts on paper.
And the trouble is-most of them
do. There are more old love letters
lying around loose in the world than
we know what to do with.

receives a rather tender epiStle from

CHAPTER xxi.
The Dinner.

But while Elinor Ramsey and Bar
bara Stevenson and some of the other
girls who were staying with thelr
families at the Poppy Inn were furl-
ously jealous of Fay and fer they
hated her, Elsie Norris was not at all
worried.
That first night, to be sure. she had
worried lest Dean be attracted toward
Fay Then Dean had given a dinner
for IL at the charming old colonial
house, and since then Elsie had been
quite serene and untroubled where
Fays charms were concerned.
On that evening Fay had gone to
the dinner, escorted by Jack. She had
worn the black and silver dress and
her grandmother's gorgeous old shawl
and had looked delectable. The excite
ment of going to Deans home had
made her amber eyes starry, and al
though she had perhaps been uncon-
scious of it, she had dressed to impress
Dean with her beauty. 1t had not
been SO easy to do that.
At the table Dean had placed Elsie
at his right, while Fay sat several
seats removed from him, between Jack
and Dick Preston. This did not sur
prise Fay for she realized that she
was a newcomer in the group and her
very presence in the Hampton house
she owed to Jack. Therefore. she was
charming to him, and divided her at
tentions between Jack and Dick, which,
although nice for Dick, did not please
| Elinor Ramsey at all.
Perhaps it was because of Fay's ra-
diant animation that there were times
| during the meal when conversation
| dragged and heads We're turned in her
direction. Certainly, as from time to
time her laugh rang out or she made
some gay sally, the others around the
board lapsed into silence so that they
could hear what she was saying.
At these times the girls wore a
| strained smile on their faces, conscious
| that there was nothing TO do but make

But Peter didn't sit very long. A
dog surprised him where he was sit
ting. 1t was a strange dog. 1t was q
dog Peter never had seen before. OF
course, Peter took to his heels. He
darted away right under the very nose
or that dog. Away went the dog after
him, And how that dog did bark. !.
Peter lodged as only Peter can. The
dog kept after him for quite distance
and then gave UP the chase. You see,
he heard his master calling him You
should have seen that dog as he crept
up to his masters feet. His tail was
between his legs and his head hung
low. You see, he knew that his master
would scold him. He wasn't supposed
TO chase rabbits. He was out to hunt
Bobby Coon. lie wouldn't have
thought of chasing Peter had not
Peter happened TO jump out from un-
der his very nose. This was more than
he could stand
SO. after he had been thoroughly
scolded, this dog was sent on by his
master and at once he began to run
about the Green Forest with his nose
to the ground. He was trying to find
the scent of Bobby Coon Now Peter
had discovered right away that that
dce was iIOL NtIy 10 DE feared.
and Peters curiosity led him to turn
back when the dog turned back. Peter
didn't know who those hunters were
after. He didn't know it was Bobby
Coon. So he was full of curiosity to
see what was going to happen.
What did happen was that once
again he jumped out from under the
very nose of that dog. and away they
raced 1t was more than that dog
could stand to have Peter right under
his very nose that way. This time
when the dog returned to his ma ster
he was punished. Then once more he
was sent to look for Bobby Coon's
trail. and again all he could find was
Peter Rabbits. Peter seemed to be
taking great delight in running races
with that dog. The truth is he was
enjoying it. He was sure in his own
mind that there was no real danger
from that dog. and he knew that that
dogs voice would keep away other
enemies. So Peter was having q per
fectly good time. He probably would
have enjoyed it still more had he
known just what he was doing You
see. the truth is he was spelling a
hunting party. That party was after
Bobby Coon. and because Peter kept
getting in the way of that dog and
leading him away, Bobby Coon
couldn't be found. He was doing Bob
by Coon a good turn. a very good
turn, indeed, but he didn't know it.
You know. all of US often help others
without ever knowing it.

away from her. Since then he had

that he did not approve OF Fay, and
the knowledge made her exultant. on

impetuously to him and said, lightly

NY Neighbor Says:

Eggs covered with boiling
water and allowed to stand for
five minutes are more easily
digested than eggs placed in
boiling water and allowed to
boil furiously for three min
uteS.
On taking cakes out of the
oven, place the tin on a wet
cloth for 10 or Is minutes. The
cakes can then be turned out
without the aid of a knife, and
will not stick to the tin.
Boiling water should be
poured at once over fruit stains
on linen tablecloths. Milk
used immediately-wiIl remove
ink stains.
When using valuable vases
for table decorations fill them
with sand. This makes them
stand firmly, and renders them
far less liable to being knocked
over and broken.
Sprinkle a little sugar on a
coal fire that is slow in COM
ing up.
Pitted prunes added to gin
gerbread batter improve the gin

Wood Fires.


The clear, crisp days. with frost
in the air, are at hand. Is there
anything in the world so delicious as
the fragrant odor OF the first log fire
on your hearth? Is there anything
throughout the season more endear-
ing than the sight of a thousand thin
spirals of blue smoke curling up into
the still cool air of November from
tho homes of men in town and
country?i
Washington is a home of hearths,
just as it is a city of homes. There
was a time, in those days when bad
taste was rampant about a decade or
two ago, when the fireplace was
omitted from domestic architecture in
favor of mechanical heating con-
trivances. furbished up into poor
resemblances of the hearth But
time will never displace the hearth
the hearth that, under the name of
focarum, was the heart of the an
cient Roman home. The Soodly old
name was corrupted to foyer in the
speech of the medieval French
barons, in their cold stone castles,
heated only by the great logs on the
hearths. Strange that the foyer
should now mean a peculiarly drafty
anteroom of a theater!
With the woods of Maryland and
Virginia so close to us, we Wash
ingtonians have the finest wood in
the world to burn. II you want to
see where your cord wood comes
from, go down to the wharves of the
Potomac in southeast and see the
quaint sailing vessels that bring up
your hearthwood from the old wood
lots down 50 ;am-the same forests
from which Washington probably got
his fuek for the innumerable roaring
fireplaces of Mount Vernon.
The Virginia pine, that is good for
little else, is an immemorial, fragrant
fuel wood of the Nations Capital.
Before it's warmth have been toasted
the hands of countless famous states
men, diplomats and warriors.

pulled ourselves out of that depres-
sion, and now we are wearing colors
rich and rare and really beautiful.
And so having really established
colorS, having persuaded women that
there is nothing crude or childish in
wearing the most Succulent OF green's,
the most flaming of reds, the mel
lowest of yellows and the winiest of
purpleS-having thus instituted
revival of colors-fashion turns about
and does something quite striking
with all black.
Quite often recently it has hap
pened. in gatherings where well
dressed women were the rule rather
than the exception. and where colors
of all the most approved shades We're
represented, that the most notably
well dressed or the most strillingly
fashionable person present has been
dressed in black. But there is never
ANYTHING dull or colorleSs about this
new fashionable black. 1t must seem
to be even more brilliant and radiant
than colors to be really smart. Often
black Is combined with gold or silver
to give this brilliant effect--some-
times with rhinestones or other brill
liants.
l hear that so far in Paris no
street costume mas appeared lDdl
carried with it more chic and real
smartness than one of all-black cloth.
1t was worn with an all-black hat, and
the very sheer black stockings that
are SO much talked about yet so
seldom worn. But it is only the very
exceptional woman who could wear
this all-back street costume to such
good advantage.
Sometimes a long tassel of gold or
silver is the note of brilliance about
black velvet afternoon frock, and
sometimes gilded nutria gives the
bright touch to an otherwise all-black
coat or frock. Then, too, bright col
ors are often added to black. These
may be introduced by way of full
or flowing Seorgette sleeves.
