the atmosphere of the room was thun-

ture him gloating over his victim with
that blandly sardonic air she had
learned to associate with his most
terrifying moods. Then and there her
mind was made up. Dallas had wanted
to bluff; but, now that he was out of
the game, bluffing was too dangerous.
Hadn't Grundt himself warned her
- people don't take chances with
Clubfoot? Let him suspect her of
trickery and he would be capable of

AS though he could read what was

himself with a defiant dignity that
made her heart ache - there was a
lump in her throat as she turned to-

chair, his dubious lips pressed firmly
together upon a freshly lighted cigar,
Grundt was contemplating her through

breakfast are probably intended also
for soup and will do until you are able
to add either dinner soup plates with
rims, or cream soup cups and saucers
for luncheons or informal evening
meals.
Personally l dislike china plate for
dessert, and would suggest that you
get deep glass plates with fairly wide
rims This plate should be put on top
of a china plate for stewed fruits (even
at breakfasD and for all desserts that
are very liquid and eaten with spoon.
In addition to the breakfast and
dessert plates, the dinner plate should
be ten or ten-and-a-half inches in
diameter. Do not under any circum-
stances buy service plates that are out
of harmony with the china used for
other courses, or unlike your bread and
butter plates, and do not have them
overlarge.
The regular medium m-sized plate al
ready noted for breakfast, lunch and
in-between courses at dinner, can per-
fectly we'll be used as service plate or,
if you prefer, you can use the dinner
plate Cream-soup cups and saucers
seem essential in this day of infor-
mality, and in many houses the soup
plate from which soup is eaten with
tablespoon makes its appearance not
more than two or three times a year.
The bread and butter plate is little
plate of about six inches or less. If we
consider quantities for eight, this would
mean three times eight medium sized
(9-inch) plates. Qf your dining table
is small perhaps you will prefer 81a-
inch plates.) At dinner this would be
eight for fish, eight for salad and eight
for dessert. You put the salad plate on
the table as a place plate first, then
take it away and bring it back again.
Eight dinner plates. Eight deep glass
plates with rims, with finger bowls to
match. Then either eight Cream-soup
cups or else eight soup plates with rims.
Eight after-dinner coffee cups and
saucers. With that, two vegetable
dishes possibly three. And at least
three platters and a gravy boat.

would have to be very closely allied if

Whether you choose decorated china

white china of the same color and tex

shape, but it would be impossible to
use translucent milk china (actually

a colored tablecloth or else on bare
table of dark wood or black glass, with
plate mats so small they are not seen,
makes charming table in any type
of house. China of any other color
would depend upon the color of the
table upon which it is to be set.
Obviously if the china of your table
setting is fine porcelain, your table
cloth should also be a fine one. Or the
surface of your table should be either
of glass or of mahogany or other very

aside. "So?" he muttered thickly while
a sort of spasm shook him. You'd

Il feel responsible for MIR. Dallas
and if you want the indicator word,
you'll have to let him CO."
She was aware that the whole ex-
preston of Grundt's face was chang
ing. The eyes were suddenly aflame
with a murderous light, the pendulous
cheeks shook, the mouth slavered with
little beads of foam that bubbled at
the gross and pouting lips. Then with
out warning, he roared, "Anna!'
Obediently Frau Schratt bobbed
out from among the shadows at the
door. Grundt had shifted his gaze
from the girl to Dallas. He barked an
order across his shoulder in German.
Patricia did not understand what he
said but she was watching Robert and
it seemed to her that he had suddenly
grown rigid under his bonds.
With shrill cackle the old woman
had shuffled to where a tall stove, tiled
with white porcelain, straddled a
dusky corner of the library. She
stopped to the brass door. There was
the glimmer of red Goals in the gloom,
the clatter of iron on iron. The sound
caught Patricias ear. She swung
round and saw Frau Schratt, a pair of
tongs in her hand, withdrawing a
glowing coal from the oven.
Grundt had risen to his feet. Hirsute
and forbidding, he lowered above the
writing table - his eye never left
Dallas. Still Dallas remained silent,

Silence once more, razor-sharp with

The upshot of this last night ap-
peared to be that there are at present
no funds in sight for starting either
the new War Department or the
Headquarters Company building, de-
signed as separate structure. The
Fine Arts Commission, DR.. Charles
Moore, its chairman, said yesterday,
approved plans for the Headquarters
Company building some time ago.
A. E. Demaray, acting director of
the National Park Service, limited yes

to take over an apartment house to
solve the problem, although he said
that would be done reluctantly.
The Headquarters Company is really

ministrative purposes, officials said.

link in the national defense set-up.

wise.
For some time now, the Army has
been trying to get funds for a new

to be located in the vicinity of the
Naval Hospital-from the Public
Works Administration-but without
success.
Although President Roosevelt, in his
budget message, recommended funds
for beginning construction of the new
home for the War Department, 1t now
appears that the House Appropriations
Committee on May z knocked out a
preliminary estimate of $4,000 for
starting the new War Department.
This was to be the beginning of a
s23,670,000 project for purchasing
land and building a new official home
for the Army here. This Is designed
to occupy the area bounded by
Twenty-flrst, Twenty-third, C and E
