other kind of love. the kind that
swept a man off his feet and made
him desire one woman out of all the
world.
Perhaps he hadn't it in him to care
like that. He had trified too long; he
had loved too many times lightly. But
there were times even lately when
his thoughts had turned in on himself
and he had wondered. At these times
he realized quite we'll that If ii were
possible for him to feel such love,
woman of Dorothy's type could
never arouse it in him.
Dorothy came and curled up on the
big couch beside him. Mr.. Carter
had advised her not to be seen any
where with Tony until Helen had
been given back to her; and so they
had been spending the evenings at
home. She hadn't minded. however.
Each evening she had worn a diff
ferent dress for him. and Tony was
not like Ted. He commented on her
clothes. He was even thoughtful
enough to ask her to wear certain of
his favorites.
Then there were the little dinners
with candlelight shining on silver and
crystal. And afterward there would
be coffee in the living room. Tony
made the evenings so charming.
Dorothy broke in suddenly on
Tony's thoughts.
You seem rather silent tonight,
dear. Is it because of tomorrow? You
needn't worry. When the Judge
awards me Helen there can't be any
unpleasant publicity because every
one will be on my side. Of course, I
suppose that girl on the Bulletin win
write something nasty about me, Just
on general principles. And / was so
nice to her, too. wonder why she
has it in for me?'
Tony felt a slow, hot flush creep up
into his face. He rather hated to re-
member that incident with Miss An
derson. 1t made him feel cheap and
unworthy, perhaps because she hadn't
led him on in any way. He had
taken advantage of her simply be-
cause he was so sure of himself
where wmen were concerned and she
was stenographer in his office. There
were times when he wondered if she
had taken her revenge on him in that
article about Dorothy. But even
Tony's conceit could not make him
believe that Jill cared anything about
him. Certainly she hadn't shown Il.
II think I'm depressed tonight" he
said at last. MY partner doesn't
seem to feel as confident Of the out
come as your lawyer does"
Dorothy pouted prettily.
Don't be silly. dear. You'll see.
And don't be depressed. I'm the one
who is facing the ordeal. not you, and
l need your support to give me conf.
dence."

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
The English Flag.

Up to the twelfth century, in Eng
land, there was really no generally
accepted British flag, each powerful
nobleman sailing. as it were, under
his own colors. which served also for
his followers.
But with the reign of Richard the
Lion Hearted" famed in song and
story, came the beginning of the flag
of Great Britain as we know 1t today.
For the new flag of England. King
Richard took the three lions of his
own personal seal, and this insignia
forms the first of the four divisions
that constitute the present British
flag.
The next two corners. one showing
the fighting lion Of Scotland, and the
other the harp of Ireland, were later
added to signify the union Of these
elements of the empire.
And in the fourth division we again
find the original three lions Of Eng
land.
Over all appears the Cross of St.
George, representative of the British
standard as the Stars and Stripes are
Of ours.

There is no piece of furniture that
requires more care in order to keep it
in good condition than the dining room
table. 1t Is likely to get scratched,
for the utensils used for meals are
often sharp or pointed. The wood
may get blistered by hot dishes or dis
Oolored by their steam or heat. When

as in the days Of a generation ago,
these tables We're not so much care.
Now with the bare table but partly
covered with centerpiece or small
cover, and with the polished wood con-
spicuous both during meals and be
tween meals, the surface must be in
fine condition, if it is to add a decora-
tive element
There are simple ways Of taking out
scratches that are not deep. Rubbing
the surface with any good polishing
oil or even with a cloth moistened
with kerosene will be effective. If
the latter is used, it must be Just
after meal, in order that the odor
may be gone by the next meal time.
Beautiful Finish.
A fine finish that is put on costly
dining room furniture is made by
many coats OF eggshell varnish over
as perfectly finished wood as the
craftsman can succeed in getting. If
the surface of such a table is to be
done over, all the old varnish should
be removed The reason for this is
that if but part is removed, the finish

must be carefully sandpapered after
the varnish is scraped off. Every
atom of dust must be wiped off after
ward. and the wood must be perfectly
dry before the first coat of varnish is

Table Rungs.
The rungs of tables should be pol

are similar to the refectory table so

also have the cross-sections of wood
convenient for foot-rests, though to-
day dining room chairs are low
enough for these foot-rests not to be
needed. Once the benches or stools
were high, and foot-rests added com.
fort to diners, even if they were not
actual necessities.
Whenever there are scratched parts
of dining room tables, they should be
finished when the top is done over.
