"That might be an ill wish," she
answered lightly,—"if you did not care

"You know I do," he whispered, and
he raised her fingers'to his lips.
With a vivid blush, Lady Constance
withdrew her hand from his grasp, and
left the room. Going straight rep to
her own apartment, she flung herself
on her knees. The kiss he had im-
pressed on her fingers seemed to burn

"Just a snack, Judson. Don't put

directly."
While the estimable Judson went off
toget this snack: which resolved it-
self into an exquisitely -laid lunch --Mt.
Vermont dropped into a chair, and
surveyed the scene through the open
window. Strange to say, his thoughts
seemed to run similarly to those of
Lady Constance, earlier in the day; for
he exclaimed under his breath:
"It's a large stake, worth playing
for. Awkward my missing him," He
smoothed out,,a pile of deeds and docu-
ments and replaced them in his leather
bag. "He would have signed these
without a word here; at his chambers,
he'll amuse himself by reading them,
confound itl"
A rustle of silken skirts attracted
his attention; the scowl vanished, and
he readjusted his smiling mask as the
door opened and Lady Constance en-
tered the room. ,
She had been informed of his sudden
arrival; and, though heartily disliking'
him, she was yet bound to play the
part of hostess while her aunt was
.nesting. •
Mr. Vermont bowed low over her
extended'hand, as over that of an Em-
press.
"I hope your ladyship is well," he
asked
"Quite, thank yon, Mr. Vermont,"
she said with cold indifference. "I
suppose you have come down to see
Adrien? He started for London be-
fore breakfast this very morning."
"So I have just heard," he returned
sweetly, "I am not greatly surprised,
as Lady Merivale was asking after him
last night. I expect she summoned
him."
The girl's face paled ever so slightly,
though she strove to give no sign that
his shaft had hit home. ' Adrien had
received a letter that morning, as she
knew, ane having been brought up to
her by mistake. -
"Very likely," she said imperturb-
ably. "I daresay he had to attend to
some business too."
"Adrien is very changeable," Ver-
mont said reflectively, "one can never
Count on his us m ovonents; following
him is like wild duck shooting, down
the river on Monday, and up the Pens
on Tuesday. I'm sorry I missed him,
though, for I have several papers
which ha most see."
Lady Constance tried to appear
smypathetic.
"It is a pity „you' weren't earlier,"
she said with a smile. "Still', I daresay
you know where to find him,''
"Oh, yes," returned Mr, Vermont
glancing at her from the earner of
his eye, as he 'aimed. hie second shaft.
"Iie will be either with Miss Lester oe
her Ladyship; ho fluctuates between
these two points of haprpinessas a
rule,'"
Tattd'IV Constance did not eppear per-
turbed in any way by this news,
"Lady Merivale is a charming wo-
man," y)te said, briefly. _, "But w, o is
Mies Les'tier?"
"She is also a charming woman,"
was the smooth reply) "but with the
difference that she is unattached—save
to the theatre,''.
"Yes," she replied. "Uncle,, thank
you so much for letting us have the
ball—"
"Nonsense, my dear," he returned.
"Adrien told me you wanted it, and
that was sufficient Why didn't you
ask me yourself? Have I been such
a cruel guardian?"
"'Ng, 'no" she cried, and coming
round to him impulsively, she pressed
her lips to his forehead. "You've
been he dearest uncle in the world.
Indeed, no father could have been bet-
ter."
Rubber Supply Steady
While Leather Gets Scarcer.
This Explains Low Price of Rubber Foot-
wear in Spite of Increase in Cost of
Chennica1s, Fabrics' and Labor.
,The war is using up enormous quantities, both of
leather and rubber. At the same time it is seriously
restricting the output of the former, much of which
carne from Russia—while rubber production keep's
pace with the demand. From the great plantations
now reaching maturity in Britain's tropical Dominions
will come this year 150,000 tons of raw rubber -75%,
of the world's production, and anincrease of over.
40,000 tons over last year.
Thus, thanks to the British Government's foresight
in encouraging these plantations, the Allied armies •
have been abundantlysupplied with all the rubber
products they need-ermany and her allies have been
cut off—ai'rd the price to the world at large has actually
been reduced. 'Meanwhile leather has been getting
scarcer and more expensive -80% higher than in 1914
--and the end is not yet,
At normal prices -a pair of good shoes• cost about
four times as muchas a pair of rubbers—and would
last twice as long if rubbers or overshoes were worn
to protect them. Or a pair of heavy 'rabbets for the
farm cost much lets than heaVy sh.oes,, and -would stand
much lucre wear in had weather. So even before the
war rubbers were a mighty -good investment,; to say

Now, when leather 'costs .so much' more Inrorortion,
the saving from wearing rubber. footwear is so outstanding
that no ono who believes in thrift will think of doing without
rubbers, overshoes, rubber boots, or whatever kind of rubber
footwear best suite his needs. Nor will he who is anxious to
help win the war, far by wearing rubber ho conserves the
leather that Is so source, yet so absolutely necessary to the

"That reminds me,", she continued:

"My success," echoed Mr. Vermont,

QUEER RUMANIAN GARB.
The Wallaehian' Peasant Usually
Dresses in White.
The Wallachian peasant who has
not adopted the homely clothes that
come from the ready-to-wear factor-
ies of,western Europe is a picture-
squely dressed man. His costume is
white. The trousers are something
like twice the length of the leg and
are made to fit with numerous wrink-
les; his shirt is made to hang tunic-
like over his trousers and is gathers
ed at the waist with a red belt; his
coat is a sort of military cape, usually
of brown woolens or of tanned sheep-
skin.
The peasant woman usually grows
some silk, She buys the silkworm
eggs and uses the spare bed, if there
be one in the house, as a hatchery.
She feeds the worms on mulberry
leaves, and, if the ants do not invade
the place and destroy 'the worms, she
soon has enatugh fiber for a veil or a
waist. She spins and weaves it her-
self. She has a keen appreciation of
color values and combinations. She
embroiders her dresses with thread
she has grown from the seed, so to
speak, for she plants'the flax, gathers
the fiber and carries it through all the
processes, from breaking and cording
to spinning.
THE PATRIOTIC FUND.
How the Women of Vancouver Influ-
ence Subscriptions.
The truth of the old adage that
"Union is Strength"'has been redis-
covered by the soldiers' wives of
South Vancouver, B.C. In this sub -I
urb there are 724 families being help-
ed by the Canadian Patriotic Fund.
The soldiers' wives and mothers have i
formed, among themselves, an asso- 1
elation. They meet regularly for so-
cial intercourse. They contribute
time, service and money to patriotic
causes. They stand by one another
in trouble. They restrain any ..nient-
her of their group who may be in-
clined, by extravagance, to bring dis-
credit on the Patriotic Fund. This
body of women are just beginning to
find what power they can exert. Their
combined monthly cash income
amounts to about $50,000. Not satis-
fied with the way in which the South
Vancouver merchants arc . contribut-
ing to the Patriotic Fund, they have
determined to use their power to en-
large the shopkeepers' horison, They
have recently had printed a small
window card intimating that Mr.
Storekeeper is giving to the Patriotic
Fond. Where this is the case, the
card is put in his window and the sol-
diers' wives spend money where the
card appears. Acting on the principle
that "One Good Turn Deserves An-
other".

oroughly and bake forty minutes in a
slow oven. Perhaps some reader
knows of another recipe.
Popovers,—One egg, one cup of
flout•, one.cup of milk, pinch of salt.
Sift the flour into a bowl with the salt,
then add slowly the milk,' mixing thor-
oughly. Separate the egg, add the
sligttly beaten yolk, then fold in the
white after it has been beaten to a stiff
froth. Fill muffin pans' only two-
thirds full and bake in hot oven for
ten minutes. They Should be served
while hot. Use no baking powder
with this recipe. This quantity will
make isx popovers.
Almond Soup. -The ingredients re-
quired are a -quarter of a pound of
almonds, ground, one quart of milk,
two cloves and a blade of mace, one
large onion, two ounces of butter,
salt and pepper and one tablespoonful
of cornflour. Place the milk in a
saucepan with the cloves stuck in the
onion and the blade of mace. Allow
it to simmer' gently for half an hour.
Remove the onion and mace and
smooth the ground almonds and corn-
flour with a little cold milk, Stir
this into the milk and heat gradually
until slightly thick, Fried or toasted
sippets should be served with the soup,
Ginger Nuts.—Take four ounces
butter, one-half pound flour, three
ounces sugar; one-half ounces ground
ginger; one egg and a little milk.
Rub the butter into the flour with the
tips of the fingers; then add the sug-
ar and ginger. Beat the egg until it
froths and add to the dry ingredients,
together with enough milk to make a
smooth soft paste. Roll out to about
one-quarter 'inch thick and cut into
mall round biscuits. Line the flat
baking tin with a greased paper and
bake for about ten minutes. Very
probably the oven was too hot for your
shortbreads. They are very hard to
bake, because they require very lit-
tle heat.
Macaroons.—Pill patty tins with

ingredients:. One-half pound flour,
five ounces butter, one ounce meter
sugar, one yolk -of egg, cold water,

While Playing Cards.

contain a paragraph stating that some
victim of Shell shock has suddenly re-
covered his speech, and theseariety of
the methods is curious. Here are a
few:
1. Grew excited over a game of
cards. •_
2. Fell downstaids,
3. Had a tootle pulled out at the
dentist's—without anesthetic.
4. Choked through inhaling cigar-
ette smoke.
6. Underwent a flashlight photo-
graph. •
6, Put the wrong end of a lighted
cigarette in his mouth.
The card cure, on the whole, seems
the least painful.
