If you want your linen to wear

folding tablecloths and sheets
lengthwise, as is usually done,
fold them the other way oc-

the folds are sometimes changed

the same place.
Order hyacinth, tulip, narcissus,
snowdrop and crocus bulbs now.
In preparing beds for these bulbs
mix bonemeal literally into the
soil, but never permit manure to
come in contact with the bulbs.
They should be surrounded only
by soil or sand.

know-though Davis and Bee did
that she was bearing him another
child. Yet Davis could not feel that
his wife "loved" him; and he longed
as never before for love to reassure
him and give him boldness.
He became more sensitive to COM
parison Of himself before her with
men who continued to succeed, and so
he avoided the homes Of many Of Bees
friends. By himself in the day, he
called on the men at their Offices; he
looked up mere acquaintances and
even strangers who were suggested as
possibly having a job open. He put
down his pride mercilessly, except that
he refused to take the position which
his father-in-law patiently made for
him in his office.
Jeb was still doing splendidly. The
insult equities" were still quoted
high. Jeb had proved himself much,
much wiser than other men; he pros
pered in the panic; and Davis could
not bear the thought of him. Yet he
had to see Jeb at the house.
Bob Gleneith was the one who, usu-
ally, invited him. Gleneith had liked
him best Of Agnes friends, and now
he was doing business with Jeb; for
Bob badly needed some new fnanc-
ing which Jeb had proved able to ar
range. Jeb liked to come to the house.
Not infrequently, therefore, four sat
down at the dinner-table-Father In
his own place, the Dark One in her
mothers place, Davis on one side, Jeb
on the other.
Cravath still served the table: but
the house staff had been cut in two.
So there sat Davis at the table ST.
lently between his wife whom he NO
longer supported, and her father who
lodged and boarded them both, and
who paid even the nursemaid; and op-
posite sat Jeb Braddon. whose opinions
constantly were asked, and given,

Never would she have blamed or re-

sorry for him, and shown 1t. But that
was what, last Of all, Davis desired ;
he could have borne reproach better
than pity. Agnes wished she could
have been there to prevent Bees pity
ing him; to show him something like
admiration.
She did not believe that she could
have felt for him admiration; but she
could have feigned something to satisfy
him; she knew how Davis had needed

CHAPTER XI

Bee gave up her home the week be-
fore Christmas.
"Not before Christmas !" Davis pro-
tested to her.
"What would Christmas be to us in
the house, under the circumstances%
Bee retorted. "And the boys are too
little to know. Let's get it off our
hands,"
ooh, God!" breathed Davis, and
held her to him.
Technically, Bee could have kept the
house; it was in her name, and her
father offered her a monthly allow
ance large enough to pay grocery and
furnace-bills, light, telephone and
wages for one servant; but Bee spared
Davis even discussion Of this. She
dismissed all her maids and turned
title Of the house over to the bank
which held Davis biggest note: and
she sold everything she possessed that
would fetch price-except her en-
gagement- and wedding-ring.
So the girl whom her father had al
ways called Dark One returned
"home," to his house, with her babies
and her husband.
"Bee Ayreforth is perfectly wonder
full with her husband" the neighbor-
hood said. This will make them much
closer together" For the neighbors
knew that Davis and Bee needed to be
brought "closer" - whatever that
meant. The neighbors did not yet
