the suspicion had become almost a
certainty In my mind. though Lii
llan's unquestioning acceptance OF
the situation had shaken me a bit.
Something drew my eyes 70 the
corner OF the veranda where Kath-
crime sat beside Mother Graham.
both naturally a bit removed from
the excited chatter concerning the
school. The face OF my mother-in-
law-who knew nothing OF Llllian's
almost hysterical fear OF Samuel
Brixton-held an approving smile.
and I remembered that both Caro-
Ign and Ronald Brixton had shown
unusual Difference to her upon be-
ing introduced - the hall mark Of
their careful training. Katherine
was smiling also. but knowing
every line or her expressive face. I
saw at once that her smile was n
perfunctory one. and that unohtru-
sively she vas watching tho faces or
Samuel Brixton and Charles Owen.
I was not surprised when she shot
a swift glance mt me and flashed me
In her own ve~rnacular. Not SO
good" I stgnaled my agreement.
and resolved that I would talk TO
her at the first opportunity.
But this was not my only resoiu-
ton. 1t was vitality necessary. I
told myself. that Samuel Brixton be
given no opportunity TO talk to Lii
Ian by herself until the next day.
She was too shaken and overjoyed
by her meeting with his wife TO be
her usual poised and resolute self.
The keenness OF her perceptions
was blunted by emotion, and I knew
that Charles Owen. at least. was
shrewd enough~to realize that fact
and to advise his brother to act
upon II.
I looked again nj Charles Owen
expecting 10 find him watching Ill.
Ian. Instead 7 found his eyes fixed
upon my face searchlngly. apprais-
inEly. And when they met mine
they did not finch. but engaged my
glance as n rapier might flash TO
meet another. Was II my fancy, or
was there an unconscious challenge
I'm that glance. Had Charles Owen
discovered that I distrusted both
him and Samuel Brixton. and meant
10 guard Lillian against their ma
carnations?

One Of the most attractive novelties
are the pillows designed for use in
the sunroom. They are made OF
heavy Italian linen crash. the right
side being deliberately patterned in
the raffia. The patterns. al a little
distance. look like embroidery done
with wool. They are in a~rabesque
and conventionalized patterns. each
in two contrasting colors. or in a
pleasing combination OF colors. The
pillows are square or rectangular in
shape. the having a new
sort or pompon asset made Of raffia
as a finish.
Some Of the patterns are all black
with floral punches in the center
like old tapestry designs. others have
plaids In three-lnch squares OF two
colors. Sometimes the linen crash
Is dyed TO match the contrasting
plaid. Then there are fascinating
slippers the patterns OF which are
worked in at the sides and across the
toes- The slippers are fine for
travelling. as they fold into q tiny
package. Though. having no sole.
the weave Is such that they protect

been one OF the most pathetic.
yet one OF the bravest figures OF
history.
She has been blamed for much.
yet when one considers her youth
and sudden transition from the
simple. almost austere regime in
which she was reared. TO the
splendors OF the French Court.
surely there must be some excuse
for her.
Married when she was but fifteen
years old. with all a girls dreams OF
love and romance running through
her adorable golden head. IL must
have been a terrific shock to be
bereft OF all the love and affection
with which she had been reared.
Her mother. the famous Maria
Theresa, OF Austria. was a devoted
mother. and the little Antoinette was
her ~favorite.
When she was told she was to be
married TO the dauphin. she pictured
a life OF love and romance, with her
self playing the role OF devoted wife
and loving mother.
But such was not to be. IL was
not until after she had been married
! seven years. in fact after the visit OF
| her brother Joseph to the French
Court. that she and Louis really
knew what II was to be in love. She
had learned to love her husband. but
he. blinded by the malicious gossip
with which ne had been RECALLED.
| treated his wife as though she were
a stranger.
Can one wonder then. that de-
| prived OF the loving alteration OF
