her $50 counsel fees.

answer.

death early this week when an
automobile in which he was driv-
ing to a fire in Branchville

simpler.
"Never mind that now," Mrs.
Carstairs said quickly, you get
undressed and into a hot tub.
Then you climb right into bed.

and look you over, after your
dinner"
"I'm perfectly all right"
Fanchon protested, please

woman told her. smiling,
You're to have a light supper
on a tray and I will have one
with you. Then the doctor.

She left the room after a
word to the maid. The little
straw suitcase had been brought
up and was on the canvas lug

toward it.

told her, there is nothing of

Very good, Miss Evelyn. May
I run your bath?"
Please" said Fanchon.
There had been plenty Of
servants on the plantation.
Fanchon was perfectly accus-
toned to service, although she
had lacked it for eight months
or more now. But it was easy
to slip back into the old ways.
In The Bathtub
Presently she was lying full
length in the great marble tub,
her bandaged arm a little awk-
wardly out of the water. There
was a warm scent of fragrant
bath salts. The bathroom itself
was quite beautiful, tiled in
green and black and white.
Fanchon closed her eyes and
dreamed. But it was all a
dream.
Later, rested and refreshed
she was in the big swan bed,
with pillows piled in back Of

room. Emma appeared, with a
table that swung out over the
bed and tray. On the tray

Then she discovered that many of her

She had done so already. The

viii Men Become Kiss-Shy?
Men will soon become kiss
shy. A popular young bachelor
assures me Of this.
If the women continue to be-

once dominant sex will have to
take matters into its own

make the world safe for
romance. If women continue
to be the hunters and pursuers,
men will have to defend them
selves.

If women insist on being
