Her words failed to inspire hint. He took her hand and lifted her fingers deliberately 0 his lips. "I was foolish," he groaned,"to think that you could feel as I do. Good-bye!" Geraldine was alone when het moth- er came into the morn a few minutes later. Lady Conyers was looking a little fluttered and anxious. "Was that Captain Granet?" she asked, Geraldine nodded. Lady Conyers' anxiety deepened. "Well?" "I lia,ve sent him away," Geraldine said quietly, "until the end of the war." Granet brought his car to a stand- still outside the portals of that very august club in Pall Mall. The hall - porter took his name and in a few minutes his -uncle joined him in the strangers'room. "Back again so soon, 'Ronnie?" Granet nodded. "America's off," he announced shortly. I thought I'd better let you know. It must be the whole thing st ow." Sir Alfred was silent for a moment.

I wonder whale. er one of those fellows in the Park had an accident with his rifle." He glanced thoughtfully across to- wards where a number of khaki-cla1 figures were dimly visible behind the railings. Geraldine looked at him severely‘ "Of course," she began, "if you really think that I don't know the dif- ference between the report of a pistol and a rifle shot—" Ile interrupted her. "I was wrong," he confessed. "For- give me, Yeu see, my head was a little turned,. Some one did delibers ately fire at me, and I believe it was from a, grey ruing, ear, 1 couldn't see who was driving it and it was out of sight almost at once." "But I never beard of such a. thing!" she exclaimed. "Why on earth should they fire at you? You haven't any enemies, have you?"

"Well. I've been under fire before," he remarked, smiling. "Get into my ear at once," she di- rected.

Some bands will need enlarging, others must be taken in.° Sleeves require epeeist] attention and should not only be repaired but should be adjusted to fit both in width and! length, for an ill fitting sleeve wears' out much more quickly than one which is comfortably loose and does not draw either at the elbow er the armseye. Those garments that have passed' the stage of usefulness in their pres- ent shape but have sufficiently good material to warrant putting them into another form, should have the hems' and facings ripped and the seams cut. When the repairs have been made and the usable material ripped, it is time to think of the renovation. The' first step is a careful sorting as to ma- terials, type and amount of soil, color and the best method of cleansing. Some garments will need only a good airing and thorough brushing to re- move the surface dust, others will need stains or spots removed and still others must be completely immersed in some solution to remove the dirt. Some silks will wash but unless designated as washable when per- ' chased, they are usually more s,atis- faetory if dry cleaned. All woolen materials ean be washed but require eareful handling and the style of •a germent often makes dry eleaning more desirable because ,of the greater ease in pressing after this treatment. Therefore, we must divide the soiled garments into those to be washed and those.to be dry cleaned. These groups should again be sorted so as to clean the lightest in -color and the least soil- ed first and finish with the darker and more soiled. Spots requiring. epecial attention should be outlined -with basting thread as they are less con- spieuoue after the garment is wet. Both silk and wool are animal fibres and are destroyed by alkalies so should be washed in soft water with a mild neutral soap which has. been melted and whipped into a good suds before the goods is immersed. The use of a good brand of soap flakes is a great convenience geld time saver.
