CHAPTER XXIX.
Perry Does Some Thinking.

In the days that followed Perry
found his thoughts dwelling more and
more upon Natalie Dennison. OF
course. he told himself that he
thought about her simply because she
was a foolish little modern, and need.
ed protection. but in reality his feel
ings went deeper than that.
There vas something personal In
his attitude toward Lucien Bartlett.
Perry knew Lucien fairly well by
reputation. and liked him. or had.
Now he found himself so resentful
toward Lucien that he could not think
Of him at all without anger.
Lucien was married. He had wife
and children. What business had he
to compromise Natalie Dennison's s
reputation, to be seen with her con-
stantly. If she knew no better. then
certainly he ought to he able to think
for both of them. Natalie was only
a baby and doubtless thought 1t smart
to have a married man running after
her.
Perry began to feel ashamed of his
friendship with Martha. and this too
irritated him.
OF course. there had been nothing
in it. and yet he had paid Martha
conspicuous attention and people al
ways nlagnif1ed everything. He Won
dered if he had been accused of be-
ing in love with Martha. He Won
dered most of all what Natalie
thought about 1t.
He remembered the look she had
given him in the theater. super
cilious little look that had made him
long to shake her. She had seemed
amused. She had glanced 1t: him
tolerantly as though he and Martha
were a couple of children. The mem
ory of this ranked. and yet Perry
saw no reason for his state of mind
He had always professed con
tempt for the younger set. He had
always despised modern girls with
their predictions for petting parties
and their surreptitious sips from sill
yer TASKS. Now he found his atti
tude undergoing change.
He began to wonder if all these
things hadn't been exaggerated. He
began to find it hard to believe that
all these young girls had had the ex
perience accredited to them. And
naturally enough when he thought OF
such things Natalie served as an ex
ample. Certainly girl who looked
like Natalie could not have expert
erced very much. OF course II was A
part of the spirit of the times to pre-

this funny attitude of his when stran-

Louise answered her cheerfuily:
oh, don't worry about that. Pretty
nearly all men are like that. They
give you a terrible rush and get
awfully sentimental about you when
there's nobody much around, but
they are ashamed of showing their
feelings when they're in public. He

acts different"
Mary was comforted. as so many
girls are when this sort of good

ears.

They also denote the inspiration to

dication present to warrant confidence
in the future. A girl. however, will
suffer more than boy, and will have
less recuperative power. In character,
both boy and girl will be resolute and
fearless. They will be quick to form
judgments, resentful of all unfairness,
quick to learn and just as serene in
trouble as in prosperity. They will be
worthily ambitious, and bend all their
efforts in order to achieve given

to know of them. The mending does
not detract from the original beauty
Of articles. 1t can be used to especial
advantage in lingerie when the worn

places. cut the whole top off in a
straight line. Make the cutting deep
enough entirely to take away the bad
parts. Hem the new top Of the gar.
ment and replace the needed part as
directed below.
Mending Fabrics.
If the garment is silk use silk for
the mending material. II not. use a
fabric to match the article. 1t may
be in the same color. or 1t may be In
some pastel shade that contrasts, for
two colors are combined In new
lingerie in the way this work is to
be done. Cut strip the same size
as the one taken off. allowing for
narrow hem on one edge ana wlder
one at the other for a drawstring to
be run through. Seam widths and
make hens.
Setting on New Stuff.
Join this piece to the top OF the
garment with a strip of insertion. Or
baste the edge of the garment to stin
paper. Also haste the new top portion
to the same paper. leaving about one
quarter inch between the two edges.
Re sure that the seams in each por-
ton come opposite one another. Sc
a crochet silk or highly mercerized
crochet cotton and fagot stitch the
two edges together. Sew on shoulder
straps In places corresponding 10
those on the old discarded top portion.
Run ribbon through the top hem and
the garment will look like new. This
method is used for finishing many
new pieces Of lingerie so the old
article should look like new.
Net. Lace. Etc.
A wide piece Of fine net may he

top with a hem for the drawstring, or
use a lace.finished beading. II some
of the best parts of discarded por
tions are cut into small squares, dia-
monds or circles and blanket stitched
on to this footing at intervals, a
smart effect Is gained. A very wide
lace may be used for the top portion
in place of the net.
Easy Mending.
An easier method of renovating
underarm worn places is to cut out
pieces shaped like a half moon tor
half Of a dress shield and fell 1t down
on the garment under the arm. Cut
away the stained or torn part. Turn

You may be one of many women
who know all about laces. linens,
furniture and other household ar
ticles, and nothing at all about china.
The words Dresden" "Sevres."
"Wedgewood" and others may just
remind YOU of advertisements or hear
say. If that's true, it's about time
YOU became better acquainted with
china.
In the first place, there's only one
certain way to tell china correctly.
You must know the various makers
marks on the undersides of the
pieces. Some people think they
can tell the make of piece OF china
by the surface pattern, but they can't.
You'll find old Wedgewood designs
on Dresden ware and Dresden designs
on Worcester pottery.
Worcester ware, by the way. is
often initiated by manufacturers or
cheap pottery Real Worcester is
marked with four WIS intertwined
within a circle. Above the circle rests
crown and beneath the name
Worcester. If the pottery was made
before 1888 it's called Royal Worces-
ter. Another English china OF the
same class is called Crown Derby.
It's device consists of two interlacing
D's on which a crown is mounted
When buying Dresden china bear
in mind that there are all kinds and
grades of Dresden ware. The best
is from a former royal factory at
Meissen, On the reverse side you
will find crossed swords. Almost as
good as the Meissen ware is the china
which comes from the Rosenthal fac
tory in Dresden. On the reverse side
YOU will find the name. "Rosenthal." "
The chief difference between the fine
Dresden ware and the cheap repro
ductions are the greater beauty and
durability of the original.
