CHAPTER IL

WE WENT to our rooms in the
great log house at the camp and
got into riding clothes. The house
was lovely, spreading out so that
all the rooms were on one floor
The furnishings were in keeping
with the wilderness of the sur
roundings, but pre-eminently COM
Portable. In the great living room
where Olga had sat, the heads of
animals decorated the walls
moose and deer and elk-and the
manteI was made of a huge log
split lengthwise and supported by
rough-hewn blocks of granite.
The bedrooms were bright with
Indian rugs and Indian blankets,
and sweet with the fragrance of
bay and cedar.e There was bath
with its water piped down from
the lake. felt my pulses pound
ing. It seemed to me that at any
moment the masquerade might
end and should find myself back
in the parsonage, milking the COW
or washing dishes for my mother.
Yet 1 was uplifted and eager III
anticipation of my meeting with
Mimi, and I chatted quite freely
and confidently with Olga when
we went back to the living room
to have tea and sandwiches in
front of the roaring fire.
Our hostess talked to us of our
trip. knew at once that she was
not at ease with Lionel, and his
manner to her held a touch Of
half-insolence which I resented.
He was guest in her house, and
it seemed to me he should have re-
membered it.
+ When we had finished our repaSt
we mounted our horses and started
out to meet the others. Lionel
knew'the way, and our horses took
the road at a good pace. We came
to the lake to find a dozen people
gathered in gay canoes and on a
low, long pier which ran out into
the lake. They shouted when they
saw us, and one of the girls de-
tached herself from the rest and
ran to meet us.
She had scarlet handkerchief
bound about her head so that
could not see her hair, but I felt
that it must be Mimi, and I was
assailed by sort of dizziness.
Then heard Lionel saying
"Bernice! Bless your heart, ole
girl, but I'm glad to see you!"
AS she came up to him, he lifted
her to his saddle-bow and kissed
her. She was a little thing, with
dark flashing eyes and an oval
olive tinted face.
This is Jerome Chandler, ,
Lionel said. 'faniliarly known as
Jerry"
She swung herself up to my sad.

up to Lionel's. "Shall kiss him
too?" she asked, and I was aware
Of the invitation Of her lips anc
eyes, as years ago I had beer
aware of it in the lips and eyes Of
Theresa.
Well, I accepted the challenge

such as floor lamp, will accentuate
the bass notes. It Is obvious, there
fore, that with all of these lamps going
together the music which is produced
will be a pleasant and authentic
blending of all the necessary elements
for perfect reproduction.
The inventor OF this unique sys-
tenn claims that the average radio
has note of its own which you hear
in the form OF boom in the bass.
This boom used to be a very popular
feature, and was played up to a great
extent, but 1t isn't really good sound
reproduction. It was caused by the
sounding board effect OF the speaker
mountings and the cabinet itself, and
is definitely eliminated through the
use Of multiple. variously toned horns.
When an orchestra is playing it is
possible to get an almost uncanny
rendition of the music with this sys-
tenn. The horns located in the lamps
are entirely concealed, so that it is
almost impossible to find the place
from which the sound is ceming, and
the spreading out effect of the ar
rangement makes 1t particularly
pleasing.
An outstanding feature which will
appeal to radio fans and music lovers
alike, not that there aren't some that
are both, is the flexible control OF the
sound which is possible through the
use of the little control box. This
box takes the output of the radio set
and breaks it up into the high, mid
die and low notes. A small knob on
the face OF the box, corresponding to
each OF these ranges, enables you to
bring out a violin so that you will
think it is in the same room with

BY LAWRENCE CROLIUS.

If you have an old radio which oper-
ates satisfactorily but emits harsh,
rasping sounds, you will probably be
pleased to hear about the revolu-
tionary new reproduction apparatus
which can be easily and quickly at
tached to your present machine.
BY hooking up one of these systems
to the old standby it is now possible
for you to enjoy the very finest music
and speech programs with lifelike
quality which We will wager you didn't
think possible from out-of- date radios.
OF course, your set can't be in too bad
condition, or one Of the kind that Just
can't make good music regardless of
the loud-speakers which are attached.
1t must be one of the many which are
inherently good, but are limited by
poor reproducers.
This new system makes use of a
number Of combined lamps and speak
ers which are connected to your set
through a control box Each of the
speakers, usually three are used, is of
a different size and construction, so
that you not only have number of

Why is it that the cords on elec-
trical fixtures are almost never quite
long enough to reach to the available
socket or plug connection? Either
that, or why is it that plugs in walls
or baseboards are almost always out
Of reach of fixtures? OF course, you
could provide every fixture with a
great long length of wire which would
reach anywhere in the house, but that
would be pretty cumbersome.
This unfortunate condition has been
remedied by small device which
holds 10 feet of wire in a convenient
bakeliate case. A small reel inside the
case holds the wire In readiness to

It was the violinist first visit to Paris after
the war Hating private performances. he had
set his fee for this favor at $1,000. Miss
Maxwell got her wish. Music is sincere
passion with her. She can play almost any
instrument by ear and has conducted orches-

her own.
1t was during the boom days after the war
that Miss Maxwell reached the height OF her
fame in Paris. The city was overrn with
wealthy Americans. She became sort OF
liaison officer between her fellow countrymen
and titled Britons, who liked her zest and her
spectacular parties. A troupe of trained seals
was let loose during the fish course at one of
her affairs Always audacious, on another
occasion she made up as Lloyd George and
rode along the Champs Elysees in an open
barouche with Prince Murat, who imper-
sonated Clemenceau Crowds cheered them.
But her most extravagant conceit was her
Epyptian party at Karnak. She cornered all
the tans in town and led her guests out to the
desert for an Arabian nights festival. There
had been nothing like it since the Pharaohs.
Her fame spread. In London she launched
the treasure hunts which had the Bright

atmosphere almost continuously since she left
San Francisco after the earthquake and
moved effectively through South Africa, Lon

She conquered New York last of all.
Venice was the first significant step. 1t was
still the dreamy city of waterways, the haunt
of honeymooners and artists, but 1t wasn't
smart Miss Maxwell couldn't bear such
inertia. She asked the Podesta (Mayor):

but Miss Maxwell pressed the point and won.

A nine-hole golf course was laid out. Cup
races we're inaugurated. Celebrities focked to
the Lido.
The night club in the floating barge was an
added Maxwell touch. The Lido became one
of the most popular points for the smart set
of Europe Miss Maxwell's fame spread.
Soon she was summoned to Monte Carlo to
breathe life into resort that was slowly
going dead. She descended on the Prince of
Monaco like a whirlwind. Under her expert
touch bathing beach was wrung from stony

Her home is somewhat movable, but is

Elsa Maxwell's story goes back to her early
days in San Francisco. Her father had an
insurance business IN Sausalito and she at
tended Denham public school "a fat, jolly
little girl who always led the parade. She gave
her first party at the age of five, and before
she was ten she had taken some friends out in

When war was declared she wrote the first of

active career of war work, running benefits,
