But during an- other long night Mary Kate was wide awake, tossed and tortured by a pour- ing river of thoughts, half finished, half assimilated, crossing and re- crbssing each other- like thoughts in delirium.

Her heart beat hard, her senses hum- med, she was restless, impatient, wanting to break i er cup frantically, instead of placing it gently in the saucer, wanting to get up and scream, instead ,f answering the family ques- tions in her usual one. After dinner she stepped out into the backyard, and looked up at the early stars. Her two hands she pressed frantically against her heart. "This is awful!" Mary Fate said panting. She thought of the telephone inside the house behind'her. What number should she call, to get Chris- topher Steynes? The need of his voice tore at her, the hunger for his pres- ence made her feel sick and weals. ' She incagileed herself at the tele- phone, "Hallo. Is Mr. Steynes there?" "This le he speaking." "Oh, Chris, this is Mary." Ile ...waled hes' "Mary." It sounded like a new name, different from any other name, as he said it, Mary. It was a beautiful name. Then what would he say? What else could he say except, "Did you want to see lie?" And what else could she say but "No"? It would be dangerous to see him. Mother, Mart, Cass would all be puzzled by her following up any such friendship. She quivered from head to foot. She put her hands over her face, and bow- ed her body backward end forward under the soft sprang night sky, her breath :-histling as it came and Went. Her mouth was day, and ber hands cold. "I can't stand this!" said Mary Kate. She had a longing to tell her big brother, to be "said by Mart," as tl e fancily always was. But a telegram from Mart, received that daj, had said, "Having fine time, home Wednesday or Thursday." No hope there. And Chris would sail on Saturday. Cass tame out, laughing to find her among the empty barrels ant clothes- lines, and put his arm about her. "Hello, sweet' Whatcha doing out are all alone?" "L—l—looking up at the stars, Cass. It's so lovely out," Her heart was .mffocating her. Not being Chris, he was nothing, he was nobody. His kiss meant nothing; she was out of his arms restlessly, before she was fairly in them. The huge bulk 'of the apartment houses behind the O'Hara home was marked into rising tiers of lighted windows now; little blocks and angles of gold rose fairy-castlewise in the young darkness, The air was sweet and languid and tired tonight; win- dows everywhere were open, and voices and snatches of laughter, and the whining of phonographs pierced the night. Cass and Mary Kate followed the wooden path to the side• fence, and hung there, staring at the side street. The great cigarette sign loomed and flashed and faded, off to the north, and the footsteps and the chatter of pass- ers-by were sharp in the mottled glare and shadow. Some were hurrying to church, for Lenten services, and some moving even faster toward the skat- ing rinks and dance pavilions of Sut- ter street. A movie theatre, a few blocks away, sent banners'and darts of red light up into the dark, and at the drugstore earner a little serpent ran tirelessly about an illuminated pestle' and mortar. '141ary Kate could remember leaning on this old fence ever since she could rememberannythin,; tonight Cass p'.It his arm about her. She stirred un- easily under his embrace. "Something the matter tonight, dear?" She was frantic. Suddenly every- thing fell to pieces'; she couid,not help it, it had to conte. "Oh, Cass—j have to tell you. We can't—I don't want to be ncarried, dear! Listen. I like you -terribly. But I don't want to get married—" She spaced the last words, giving them emphasis. She had turned to face him now,' and had put an im- ploring hand on his shoulder.

Why Sea Water is Blue The color is due to copper, thinks a German chemist. The azure hue, he believes, is caused by the presence of dissolved copper compounds, which have this color, as In the well-known blue vitriol or cop- per sulfate. The chemist's name is Richard Will- statter, and his findings are announced by a correspondent of tbe American Chemical Society in a press bulletin issued by that body (New York), We read: "The color of sea water was dis- cussed by Willstatter and Fritz Haber on a trip to the Canary Islands. Haber, who deyeloped synthetic ammonia, up- on which Germany based its war plans, and who is not infrequently described as the greatest of living Germans, pre- ferred the physical explanation that the color is evident because of tbe great depth of the water. "Willstatter contended that the blue, which is visible even in such a thin layer as in a bathtub, is due to com- plex copper compounds of the nature of cupri'amino salts. "'The conditions for then' formation are present,' he explained, 'beeauee of the Itnown content of copper in sea water and the formation of ammonia, and especially of organic amino-oom. pounds as a result of the decomposi- tion of protein'," Those Who Read in Bed (Frani the New Yorker) There are no late -hour devotees As, irreproachable as these, Who sink to rest in pillowed nooks And stick their ostrich heads in books.

Must Have How to Prolong Life Of House Plants First Necessity of House Plants and Cut Flowers is Water, ;Expert Claims llousewives: will welcome the valu- able hints given in this article by it, Alfas Drought, Dept. of Ildrticulture, 't7, of Wisconsin, .in The Christian Science Monitor. "The knack of prolonging the b. of'cut flowers, writes .Miss Drou "lies in the loving of them, un standing what they 'retiuii'e • and c fully tending their requirements simple procedure. ' Obviously.the primary requirement for cut flowers is water and plenty of it; Under.

If they are frosted, they may be thawed by immersing diem fora theme in sleep, cold water, but the blossoms sbpuld not be touched with the hands. If the flowers are merely' Chilled, they will usually revive by being placed where it is pool for an hour or two, before being arranged fors]isplay in vases. In this way, they gradually become' acous- tomed to the Changes in temperature from extreme cold to very warm: Watering :the flowers .on their ar- rival is not enough, for the water should be changed,ouce a day to pre- serve the freshness of the Rowers. It is Ifkewise advisable to 'cut a quarter or half an incb from the stems each day so that the water will reach fresh tissue. With some flowers, like the chrysanthemum, it is well to split the end of tbe stem about an inch, to in- sure the water reaching the blossom. Cut with a sharp knife or razor blade. Scissors are likely to press the stem, shutting off the water channels. Many flowers, such as gardenias, or- chids, violets, anti lilies of the valley Profit by bbing In cold air at night. These may exon be put In the refriger- ator from evening until morning. Most all eut flowers, carnations ex- cepted, will preserve their freshnes for a longer time if they are plunge into water the full length of the stem and put in a cold place during th night. A cool room in the basement or a vestibule or entry is often a satis factory place in which to put them. -,In the morning, then, they are ready feu a change of water and rearrangemen in their vases. Keeping Fragrance of Violets The sweet, elusive fragrance of via lets may be preserved by closely cov- ering then! with waxed or tissue paper at night before they are put into cold air. Otherwise their fragrance is pro neatly gone the second day, With violets~ it is wise also to remove the cord around the bouquet at night, so that they will be assured of getting all the water they should have for preservation. When the flowers look a trifle withered, try cutting the ends of the stems and dipping the froeh ends into quite warm water. This will expand the walls of the passages in the stems so that more water can get -to the blossoms. Carnations, too, respond to warm Water treatment. They suffer Con- siderably when out of water, although they fail to show it at the time, As soon as carnations are received from tile florists they should be plunged up to their necks in warns water. The fibers in the stem expand ruder this treatment so that more water is drawn up through. the water passages than would be the case when they are contracted by cold water. They lnay be kept in a pool place for an hour or two, then placed in the living room, dining room, or library. Car- nations make excellent bouquets, and their keeping qualities are quite re- markable, Willi proper care, preser- vation for two ar even three weeks is not unusual. Some potted plants may. be used as cut Rowers with good results, Ciit'ysan- themums, waren fully developed, as most of them are now, evil) last longer if they are relhaved from the plant and kept in water in a fairly cool place. They may' be kept two or three weeks after cutting, which fa cin- Siderably Longe;! than they will keep on the' growing plants after they 'are fully developed. te Taking Caof Cyclamen This is the season of the year when the cyclamen is in all its glory, The principal difficulty in keeping oycla- men results from improper watering. Water should not be put directly on tbe centre or crown, as this causes the crown to rot. These plants may be watered either by setting thein in a pan of water to soak tip -the neceesary moisture, or by carefully pouring the water around the crown instead of on top of it. Given sunlight and proper watering,- the cyclamen Is a profuse bloomer and will last three or four months. The Chinese primrose is also a fayorite at this time of the year, it tikes neither susdeat changes of tem- perature nor a dry atmosphere. Fre- quent washing of the leaves of the plaints helps 'to preserve the freshness of -the delicate blossoms, while a large bowl of water in the -roam, or. a' pan of water attached to the radiator, will help appreciably in prolonging the beauty of the plait,` They Need Light be ght, der- are- -0 er-are--0 6 d s e Packed full of tender, plump, um -rushed Sultanas, retaining the fine flavor of the fresh fruit.
