CHAPTER I.
The Masuu erade.

Mark Burton hadn't seen Jessica in
10 years
The last occasion had been at the
death of her father. and he remem
bered clearly a pale faced little girl of
10 years, her looks not at all improved
by her red and swollen eyelids.
At the time he had felt vaguely
sorry for her. wasn't as If Morgan
Bartlett hadn't left her fairly well pro.
vided for. She would have enough and
would come into the principal at the
age of u. In the meantime a sister
of her father would look after her and
bring her up. But Mark, her father
best friend, had been appointed
guardian.
Mark. who was considerably younger
than Morgan Bartlett, hadn't relished
the job. In spite OF the fact that he
would have no real responsibility for
Jessica, he hadn't liked the idea of
being guardian to a girl. Why had
Morgan done it?
He remembered now as he stood in
the doorway of Mrs. Maynard's draw
ing room that at the time of her
fathers death he had been almost
afraid of Jessica. She had been so
small and with eyes too big for her
face. She had shaken hands with him
shyly when he had said good-by. He
SlliI remember the lOucn Oh those
cold little fingers and the droop of her
features as she had tried to smile at
him.
Which was Jessica in the mad
throng that swirled about him? Mrs.
Maynard. Jessica's Aunt Maude, had
written him to come back at once. He
was Jessica's guardian, and it was
necessary for her to consult with him
about the girl.
This mad impossible generation of
young people," she had written. Il
don't know what we're coming to. /
tried to bring Jessica up right. have
been strict with a certain amount of
leniency. But she's as spoiled as the
friends she cultivates. She thinks of
nothing but good times. She goes
around with a mad crowd of young
people who call her Bunny, and I've
come to point where can do moth
ing with her."
It was Jessica's birthday, and she
was having a masquerade party. There
was every conceivable kind of costume
present. Spanish girls with high
combs covered with lace mantillas.
Chinese mandarins, little Japanese
geisE1as, one gorgeous South Sea Island
beauty with a grass skirt and little
above 1t, a Rumanian peasant, two
sheiks with faces mysteriously cowled

A Bird of a Buy.

In China the people are so fond of
sin ging birds that women carry them
about in cages, and each tries to have
the best singer. In japan women try
with zest to obtain birds of particular
breeding and unusual plumage as well
as birds gifted with song. In America
birds mean bright cheeriness and dabs
of color in an existence that may be
without either.
Nobody can be told what kind of a
bird to buy. 1t would be akin to
telling a woman what sort of a hus-
band to accept. There are gay birds
from Borneo, Madagascar, Australia,
Africa and even from far-away
Cathay. Surprising as it may be TO
some women, male birds have the
most striking colors.
Parakeets have saucy call, and
when one becomes piqued their Per
sian-like colors make amends for their
lack of manners. Love birds are
bound to interest the newlywed with
bird cage to populate. They only live
happily in pairs, and they may be had
in green or yellow. depending on your
| taste or the coloripg of the room or
cage.
Mexico produces other things than
revolutions and bandits, and one of
| them Is bird called the clarina. He
| is an excellent song bird, If that is
| your preference. with a thrilling,
| throaty song. Besides, he has beady
bright eyes that win ones sympathy.
Your dealer will tell you how to treat
him. where to place him and what to
feed him, as he will about any of the
other birds.
For the small apartment with the
kitchenette a small bird is ones best
buy. Again there Is a startling varie
| ty. There are wax birds, finches, Java
sparrows and, as you know. canaries

the pepper-fed canary. The latter are
fed on pepper from their birth, and
their color Is deep orange.
