At Mario's the walls are a dark
red satin where they aren't dark
satiny wood. There is a long
lounge carpeted thickly with red
velvet where you pause, slouched
luxuriously on deep red divans,
and sip cocktails before going on
into the restaurant. At the end
of the lounge there is a glittering
black and chromium bar. Behind
the bar there are sliding mirrors.
Behind the mirrors there is music.
Clinging, moaning music. Sliding
music. Niger music. That was
why Lewis liked to come here
he liked the music coming from
behind the mirrors like that.
Coming from nowhere. Just
there.
He waited until they had had
two cocktails, then he said: Tell
me as much or as little as you
want to, Ann, but Of course, l
can't help knowing that you and
Kipp have quarreled. that that's
why you decided suddenly to come
to Tracy'S. -"
Ann said: Eyes, we have quar-.
relied. but don't think I want
to talk about it, yet. If you don't
mind, Lewis. ="
He had said: I'm sorry, Ann,
it was stupid Of me to expect you
to. forget it, will you?"
She had said, yes, of course:
and thought how golden his hair
looked against the dark paneling
of the wall, and how glacially blue
his eyes were smiling at her over
his cocktail glass, and how kind
he had been to her about every
thing.
Other people had been kind to
her..
Carlotta had been. for in
stance.
Carlotta knew a great many
pleasant young men and agree
able older ones and she brought
them home with her and intro
duced them to Ann. Invariably
they asked her to go places and
do things with them and oc-
caSionally she went. But they
seldom, if ever, asked her the sec
ond time. They did not find even
ings spent with Ann, just at this
time, particularly satisfying. She
was lovely to look at and pleasant
to talk to. she listened nicely
and laughed in all the right
places; but all the time they had
a curious feeling that she was
actually not aware of them at all
they found this q bit discon-
certing and not at all flattering.
They said: "She'S probably in love
with her husband hes abroad
or something -" and didn't ask
her to dine or dance again..
Steve had been kind to her. He
didn't seem to mind that habit
she had of occasionally slipping
away from him of not being
there at all. He called her up
once or twice a week and took
her to dinner. Because he knew
she preferred quiet places where
there was no music, he usually
took her to a sUnall hotel in the
FortieS.
Sometimes they talked about
Middleton, New Hampshire, and
sometimes they talked about
AIMS work and sometimes they
talked about the books Steve had
to review and the things he was
doing
He was still seeing quite a lot
of Cynthia, it seemed. And grow
ing too fond of the brat too,"
he admitted candidly, his eyes
slightly surprised. "Once you get
below that Park Avenue manner

"she's just a good all-American
girl"
They never talked about Kipp.
But sometimes Carlotta did.

How 1t Started
By JEAN NEWTON.
Torture" "

THERE" writes Dryden, thou
= mayst torture one poor word
10000 ways"
This use of the word torture in
the sense of twisting language from
its proper meaning, distorting, if not
deforming, it, supplies the key to the
intrinsic significance of the word.
We have torture from the Latin
tortura, meaning twisting, wreathing.
Originally torture was used in con-
nection with the infliction of ex-
cruciating physical injury and pain
upon humans, through twisting OF the
various limbs and organs Of the body.
This was the favorite method of
savages and brigands, for the pur-
poses of extortion, extracting informa-
ton, revenge or out of sheer hatred.
AS the forerunner, possibly, of our
third degree, torture was an ac-
credited part of the quasi-judicial sys-
tenn for making unwilling witnesses
talk. In 1851, for instance, there was
passed in England an act whose in
tent was assisting the sayd commits
sioners for the putting the prisoners
to suche tortours as they shall think
expedient."
Naturally enough, torture was also
used in its secondary sense of mental
anguish, torment or agony, self-in-
flicted or otherwise.

hoped to be his dinner, and station

The mother anchors her pretty
sculptured eggs on the plant. The
mustard, blooming early, develops
her seed children soon after her
flowers fade. The caterpillars are
not slow either, and are soon creep
inT from the eggs and hastily filling
themselves with any part of the plant
that their appetites dictate. In a
very short time they have matured
and change to chrysalids under a
protection close by the plant.
In the South there are two broods
year. Otherwise the little changing
one will rest quietly in his chosen
retreat until the mustard blooms
again.
The tribe of the orange-tipS rep
resent a hardy lot and the members
trace their ancestry back a million
years. Fossil remains prove this
statement. They have learned to
adapt themselves to conditions, and
though their giant neighbors have
long since departed, the fragile but
terf1ies manage to flourish. Their
favorite plants belong to the Cruel
ferae family, the filustards, and here,
among the delicate foliage. bright
yellow flowers and the warm SUM-
shine you may find the prize orange

The Romance of Your Name.
BY RURY HASKINS ELLIS.

THE origal form of this name was
"Kelsale," which was introduced
into England at the time Of the Nor
man Conquest. The name is thought
to have Scandinavian background,
and the family of Kelsey is of Scot
tish ancestry. Several towns in Cotln.
ties Lincoln and Suffolk, England,
bear this name. In Cornish-British
it signifies dry neck" The surname
has been spelled Kelley. Kelsay and
Kelsey. The Domesday Book and the
Hundred Rolls of 1878 indicate that
the Kelsey family was in possession
of manors and estates of great i'm
portance in England prior to that
date.
The founder Of the family in Amer
lea was William Kelsey, who came
over from County Essex. England;
about 1882. He was a member of
the original "Braintree company"
which came with the Rev. Thomas
Hooker and settled in Cambridge,
Mass. A great number of the men,
bers of this company became dissatis-
fled with Cambridge as their perma-
nent home and moved to Connecticut,
where they established New ToWne"
which later became the city of Hart
ford.

Avenues of Fashion
For the Gentleman

~ ONT get us wrong or think
we're putting on the dog
when we term the sailor SEN
nit "boaters" because this is
what they actually are, and no hat has
q more authentic background. Per-
haps because the English are a bit
closer to its traditional source they
have retained this name-while we in
this country know it as the sennit,
or sailor, which is equally descriptive
Of Its original source.
Contrary to the present under
standing of straws, if one has ever
given 1t any thought at all, straw
braid for hats, although they may
have been used in one form or the
other in all parts of the ancient world,
did not originate in their present form
in the Orient, from which they are
now imported. but were an important
industry in England, to a greater or
lesser degree, from the sixteenth to
nineteenth centuries.
It may be worthwhile to annoy you
with an additional note that the regu-
lation type Of headwear furnished to
the sailors of the British Navy and
copied by those on merchant duty was
OF straw. and while they were a far
cry from present-day so-called sailor
model straw hats, they undoubtedly
placed this name in general usage to
describe the wide -brimmed straw hat.
Seamep further contributed to the
nomenclature of straw braids with the
word sennit, which is nautical term
describing a certain method of braid
ing. being a corruption of the words
"seven-knit.'
The "boater" slant comes from the
fact that at Eton there was inaugu-
rated the famous June 4 ceremonies,
celebrating the birthday anniversary
of George ", and they took for this
occasion the outfits of contemporary
seamen and officers. part of which out
fit was the hat in question, which they
used until this day for the ceremony
of boating on the Thames. Thus the
boater. or sailor straw, Is truly an
alumnus of Eton.

~ pretations of authentic sailor

Ganization Of 423 new Federal
savings and loan associations
during the past year, John H.

Including 159 associations pre-

took advantage of their legal privi-
lege to be converted to the federal.
lied type, there were $40 Federal
savings and loan associations In
operation in Al states as of Decem-
ber 81, 1894, Mr.. Fahey declared.
He points out total assets of these
bodies are $139, ,306,620 as COM
pared with $280,750 held by those
same 159 associations on Decem-
ber 81, 1898.

applications for Federal charters
are now pending from I'll add.
tional new associations and from

resources aggregating $247 ,180, ,064
Mr.. Fahey denies the Federal
associations have been formed to
compete with established lending
agencies. He asserts:
Ear from fostering the Gre
