He didn't answer. But he

felt his breath on her face as
he bent down to her lips.
That was the way all Of
their arguments ended In those

For the first time it struck
Lovejoy that the little house

And she saw a good deal Of

Sometimes she would come
dropping in during Lovejoy's
busy morning to say Hello TO

lesson.
At such times she would be
beautifully and plainly dressed
in . black habit and shiny
boots, and she would talk
carelessly Of English saddles"
and Kentucky five gated
horses" and other things that
were Greek to Lovejoy.
One rnoSning in early Decem-

wrapped up in silver fox furs
and black cloth that brought
out her golden blondness.
"Just look at this" she said

''But why do you want to

the loveliest thing I ever saw in
my life.
'No. it isn't. It's old-fash-

Washington Fashions

Many of us are privileged to
see very little of our homes in
the daytime during the winter
months. It is, therefore, most
important to have every room
we'll lighted, and as charming
by lamplight as by sunlight.
The science of modern light
ing has done a great deal that
we should be grateful for. Not
only have 'lumineurS," as light
ing experts are called in France,
achieved wonders in design
ing lights and effects that pro-
tect our eyes, but they have
created designs that are more
beautiful than lights have ever
been before, and that add a
great deal of charm and beauty
to a room. Gone forever are the
days of unSightly electric light
bulbs, of ugly fixtures, and of
inharmoniouS lamps.
We have known tor some time
that indirect lighting is better
for our eyes, but it has taken
several years to perfect lights
for home use. First we had
tall metal stand that threw the
light on the ceiling, but was
not particularly d ecora tive.
Many women used it only for
bridge, and put it aside between
times. Now that same light
has been improved, has had
added three candles that give a
light below also, so that it may
be used for reading, and is cov-
cred by a smart silk shade. so
that it looks just like any other
lamp.
The best part about the new
lamps is that, while they may
be strictly modern in their ef-
ficiency, they follow designs
that fit in with every period, so
that you may carry out your
decorative scheme perfectly.
One small Junior twin" bridge
lamp illustrates this perfectly.
It is of sleek polished metal,
but its base is like a spinning
wheel base, so that it will be
perfect in an early American
home. and the two parchment
shades have delicate prints of
the Cooley type. 1t is especially
good for a small room.
A convenient innovation in
the way of modern lamps is
the addition Of q tray placed
Just where ash trays may rest
