But the secret of rnaking the room bright and attractive lies in getting the right color and the right texture. The color must match the wall paper; be a little stronger, so as to separate ;the window from the wall a little, and also be something like the rug and upholstery in tone, For example, t'an walls may have tan, ecru, brown, or, for contrast, blue, or blue and tan, or blue, tan, and brown. They may even show a little orange or red. But be sure that some of the colors in the curtains are in walls, rugs, and chair coverings. For the bedroom we often choose a plain color that is exaetly the same shads as the color of the flowers in the -able sleeve. Charnbrey, gingham, khaki, linen and cretonne are good for this design.

"I told him that you were riot well enough to see anybody, but he said he'de driven all the way from Dedbury, my lady." Ruth had been caught at a disad- vantage and she was aware that her face betrayed something more than surprise at this visit. And Fletcher, '• before delivering the message,' had come sound in front of her so that ' Fletcher had a good view of her face,' which' was not even in the shade of her parasol, raised at the first sound of Fletcher's footsteps. "Please say that I am too ill to see: anyone, Fletcher," she replied after a ' pause. "Surely Mr. Merrington did not drive over in a.. car?" • "Yes, my lady—or I should say Mr. Ardington, drove him." "Oh, Mr. Ard4ngton is here, too, is he?". "Yes, any'lady." And at that moment Ardington him- ( self appeared, walking along the top. of the sea wall. He raised his hat as he, •saw Lady Bradney lying almost length on a deck chair' that had an extension on which one could rest ote'a feet. It was an unpardonable intrusion, ,but anyone could walk along the sea wall. It was a public pathway and a favorite promenade for visitors in the slimmer time. She telt that Merrington would never have dcm,,we shu:th. alovely a thing.g. day, Lady ,Brad_ ney," said Ardington, "and what a, chaiimieg little place you've got here!' I reall didn't expect to find you out of doors. I hope you don't it link that I thought I'd come across you like this. "Escape? From what?" Arditigton hesitated for a moment.

So they went through Iilythe to Folkestone and had, tea at a large botol. Afidwhen. y had finished their tea Ardington suggested that they should go on to Dover and home through Canterbury. "Won't that make rather a long trip of it?" queried Merrington. "Oh, there'll be plenty of daylight; old chap.

At any rate he had followed them down to the coast from D,edbury in a car. Ardington had seen 'him in the village, and had seen himdrive into South Barton.no more than a hundred yards behind them. Ardington smiled cruelly as though , the sight of the man amused him. But he listened to every word of the con- versation between Ruth and Mereing- ton—noticed every tone and inflection in Ruth's voice. ' The visit lasted for twenty minutes. Merrington had failed to persuade Ruth to give him any more sittings, i d Ruth said, quite openly, that was too tired to talk any longer, so the two men rose to depart . "I am so very sorry," said Ruth, holding out her hand to Merrington, "but I am going up to London in a few days to see a doctor. Later on I am sure I shall be able to let you finish my portrait. And in the meantime you must work hard at Mr, Arding- tolLse;rington did not smile as their, hands touched. There was a pathetic look in his eyes. Re turned away, crossed the bridge and, walking along the wall, went down the stone steps and disappeared from sight. "I should like to have a word with ;you, Lady Bradney," said Ardington in a loty voice. "Do you think, if I helped you, that you could come in- side? What I have to say cannot,be said out here." "I will send for Fletcher," she re- plied. ' "No. You are quite well. Don't be foolish. You forget that I know all about you and Merrington." He gave her his arm and helped her to walk into the drawing -room. „ Then he closed the window. "You were quite right to give up the sittings," he said harshly. "But Mer- rington insisted on coming down here to s.ee you. ow listen to me. You ve got to keep all your wits about Do you see that man who has juat climbed up the wall ---chap in a grey flannel suit?" "Yes, I see him," "That's a detective, and he's follow- ed us down here from Dedburs. It's his business to see that Merrington does not eseane."

Well, there was ilothing for it now loot to see Merrington—t0 see the two of them—even, it it were only, for a few minutes, "Oh 2 am much better, thank you " she answered with a smile.

It is not ialways necessary to use a mop for the thing which man intended it to be used when he manufacture.d it. The most satisfaetor mo I ever used to wipe up linoleum floors was a com- Imercial dust mop. If it had been oiled, so much the better; oil helps to put a poliah on the linoleum' and hardens the surface, protecting the design and keeping it clean longer. For dusting and polishing nay stove I have a cotton dish mop from the five -an -ten-cen store. The soft cot- ton reaches all the crevices, wipes away the dust without, leaving any scratches, and soon contains enough polish to brighten up a really dirty stove. Best of all, its handle is far enough from the scene of operations that it may be kept bright and clean, not blacking the hands as the stove cloth is prone to do. When not in use the mop is stuck, top down, in a round baking -powder can.For apply- ing the blacking to the stove I have a cheap, flat paintbrush; the vigorously used mop does the rest.

Across the Rhine a company of French engineers were building a pon.- toon bridge to join their restored pro- vince of Alsace with the German land' on the other side, which France holds as a defensive bridgehead. One of the pontoons gave a lurch, and in a mo- ment two French engineers were in the stream. Away the swift current swept thena as if to certain d,eath. Just 13elow,them on the bank stood Max Fladt, the innkeeper of Kehl -on - the -Rhine, oeposite Strasbourg. The two men were enemies o'i his country, and he knew that seven Germans had recently been condeinned to death for damaging French property and were even then in prison at Mayence. Never- theless, flinging off his -coat, he plunged into the river. A strong man and an expert swimmer, he caught the two Frenchmen as they were passing hint and brought them" safe to the shore. , A day or so later Max 'received a visit from the French general in com- mand, General Niche'.

BUCHAREST,' Greek Orthodox Church Cele- brates "Water's Holy Day" With Great Cerernonictl. Toward the end of January tl2e Greek Catholic or orthodox church in Bucharest celebrates "water's holy day." This is one of the greatest festival days of the church. It is devoted to the rernenibrance of the day when Christ went down to the Raver Jordan to be baptized by John the Baptist, writes I-Ianne Sento. In all orthodox countries, as in Russie, Geeece, Serbia, ,Bulgaria, Armenia and Rumania, the day' is celebrated with great -splendor. •The 'running water, wells, • rivulets, streams and lakes, is hallowed on watei's day and ,poseeseeS at that time a miraculous power. Men go out that, morning to have ice cold water from the pump in the yard run over their head heti bodies so that they may be protected against all sickness during the year, Every- where- processioes are held by the clergy, followed by, the town euthoe- ities, soldiers and the people. The procession goes to the nearest river. There a golden cross is theovin into the water by the highest clergyman. Two merf of the people jump into the ice cold water to get the cross out again. Since the winters are ex- tremely cold in Russia and Rumania, a hole -must be made in the ice for this ceremony. In Russia a soldier used tO be ordered to dive for the cross. In Rumania, however, rt is usually a peasant who offers himself for this service in the hope of a big reward. • Picturesque Processien. The bigger the town is the more splendid is this procession. In Bu- charest, where are situated therking's residence and the homes of the -high- est Roumanian clergy, the processiori is particularly brilliant. The train goes from the king's palace, through the main street, the Caleo. Victoriei, down to Slater church, and thence to the Daxnbovita river. At the head of the,procession .walk two priests ivith the golden cross. The metropolitan -primas follow With the king, other members 'of the royal h�us&ndforeign princes. Next comes the entire Setinue of the 'king, the ministers and foreign ambassadors, the city authorities and '''high army officers. After the church ceremony is over, the king views a parade a sol- diers. in former times; before King Carol became sovereign of Roumania, the prineesecalled voyveds or boyars, and their wives a-ppeared at the Pro- cession in their exquisitely beautiful national costumes on special two - wheeled carriages pulled by two, four or six horses, according to the rank of the owner. That was. a colorful sight. e'''e • Though the 'modern water's day procession lacks this particular trait the procession is still very pictur- esque. - Easy ruitninfe Mowers that cut widfi razogike he,eness.
