Household 'Hints.
An empty baking ppwder can makes
an excellent nut (shopper.
Medicine stains can be removed
from -linen with strong ammonia. ,
Ginger cookies are improved if
inixed with coffee instead of water.
A piece of 'cheese grated over a
simple salad is a great improvement
Red currants ...added to the rasp-
berries give raspberry jam a delicious
flavor. .
Flour the cake pan after you have
greased it, to keep the cake from
sticking.
Tooth 'brushee should be dried in
the open air and the sunshould
shine on them •
Nutmegs will grate more satisfac-
torily if started from the bottom end.
Vinegar and honey mixed in equal
parts is a great relief for a cough. .
To make perfect tea, remember—
good tea, boiling water and a hot tea-
l)
Carbolic acid is a good, disinfectant,
but useless unless diluted with at
least 20 times its hulk in cold water.
A bit of vasehne will remove mild
dew or stains from any kind- of
leather,
Always start the rice pudding on
top of the stove, allow it to boil, stir-
ring it frequently, . until the ries) is
done, then set it in the oven to brown.
When fish comes into the house a
few hours before it is cooked, it
should be cleaned, wiped dry andput
into a closely covered vessel, not tin,
and pat as near the ice as possible.

CHAPTER XXXVIII,
The carriage drew up at the thea-
tre, andhe handed -her out—a little
'awkwardljr perhaps, but without abso-
lute clumsiness. They found all the
rest of the party already in their seats
and the curtain about to go um They
took the two ead stalls, Trent on the
outside. One chair' only, next to him,
remained unoceupied.
"Yoe people haven't hurried," Lady
Treshian remarked, leaning forward,
"We are Inc time at any rate," Er-
nestine .answered, letting her cloak
fall upon the back of the stall.
The curtaia was rung up and the
play began. It was a modern society
drama, full of all the most up-to-date
fashionable jargon and topical Mis-
sions. Trent grew mare and more be-
ivildered at every, moment. Suddenly,
towards the end of the first act, a fine
cleametic situation leaped out 'like a
tongue of flee. The interest of the
whole audience, up to then only. mild-
ly amused, became suddenly intense.
Trent sat forward in his seat, Ernest-
ine ceaSed to .fan herself. The man
and the woman stood face to face—
the light, baclinage which had been
passing between them suddenly end-
ed—the man/with his sin stripped
bare, mercilessly exposed, the woman,
his accuser, passionately eloquent,
pouring out her scorn upon a mute
victim. The audience knew what the
woman in the play did not know, that
Pc was for love of her that the man
had sinned, to save her from a ter-
rible danger which had hovered very
near her life. The curtain fell, the
woman leaving her room with a final'
taunt flung over her shoulder, the man
seated, at a table looking steadfastly
into the fire with fixed, it/meth-1g eyes.
The audience drew a little breath, and
then applauded; the oechestra struck
up and a buzz of conversation hegan.
It was then that Ernestine first
noticed howdabsorbed the man at her
• Ode had become. His hands were
gripping the itirns of the stall, his
eyes were fixed upon the spot some-
where behind the curtain where this
sudden little drama had been played
out, as though indeed they , could
pierce the heavy upholstery and see
beyond into the room where thee vefy
air seemed quivering, still with the
vehemence of the woman's outhoured

him.back with a start to the present.

with the forcefol eageenessa of his

Trent tuened sharply and the light
cited out of his voice. Surely it was
an evil omen, this man's coming; for
lit was Captain Francid who had tak-

watching his astonishment with a
somewhat saturnine smile. .•

Ernestine heard and leaned forward
smiling. Trent did as he was asked,

with set teeth and an ill grace. Prom
then, until the curtain went miler the
next act, he had only to sit; still and
listen. -

Afterwards the play scarcely
ful-
fclled the promiseof its commence-
ment. At the third aet Trent lost all
interest in it. Suddenly an idea cc=
aimed to him. He drew a card from
his pocket and, scribbling a word or
two on it, pasted it along to Lady
Tresham. She leaned forward and
smiled aPproproval upoa him.

"You are all coining to supper with
Inc at the 'Milan,'" he said; "I am

She smiled upon -him, evidently -
pleased.
?What a charming idea! But do
you mean all of 'us?"
"Why not?"
He found Ms carriage outside with-
out much difficulty, and (Trove quick-
ly 'round to the Milan Reetaurant.
The director looked doubtful,
".A. table for eighteen, slid- It is
quite too late to arrange it, except in
a private 1:00111."
"The ladies prefer the large room,"
Trent answered decidedly, "and you
must arrange it somehow. I'll give
you carte blanche as to what you
serve, but it must be of the best."
• The man bowed. This must be a
millionaire, for the restaurant was
the "Milan."
"And the name, sir?"
"Scarlett Trent—you /nay not know
me, but Lady Tresham, Lord Coniston
and the Earl of Howton are amongst
my guests."

The name of Scarlett Trent was the
nsflieuhich impressed him. The Eng-

spect for, but a millionaire was cer-
tainly next to the gods.

said. "And about the flowers?"

"I have been telling Captain Fran-

lightful invitation.
"I hope that Captain Francis will
join, us," Trent said coldly.
Francis stepped behind for a mo-
ment to light a cigarette.
"I shall be delighted," he answered.
* * * .
The supper party was one of those
abiolute and complete successes which
rarelyfan to the lot .of even the Most
carefully thought out of social func-
tions. Every one of Lady Tresham's
guests had accepted the hurried in-
vitation, every one seemed in good
spirits, and delighted at the opportun-
ity of unrestrained conversation after
• several hours at the theatre. The sup-
per itself, absolutely the best of its
kind, frmn the caviare and plover's

ed in one of the handsomest rooms in
London, was really beyond criticism.
