Sometimes she merely stenographer, as her cousin, Ce- tumbled into bed, leaving all the de - cella Moore. Sheila, a firebrand, tails of her toilet until morning, for Joe always left .the house at half past six, and the Women of the family had the suite to themselves. Mrs. Carscadden was the last to retire, unless Joe or Sheila were out late at a party or theatre, Sho feund mysterious things to do in the kitchen, and pottered about them en- definitely. ndefinitely. Joe's early coffee was mixed at this time and set on the breakfast stove, although •as his mother invariably joined him at breakfast it might have waited until morning. Fasting herself, she watch- ed, him eat, walked with him to the subway, stopped on the way home for marketing, and even then could prepare the eight o'clock breakfast she and Sheila and Angela so en- joyed. On the morning after the eventful day of the lost jobs and the discov- ered money, they all breakfasted to- gether, and once again Sheila returned to the attack. "Listen, Ma, supposing I go to this 88th Street place, say, Saturday afternoon. It'll be my last morning` at the office and I'1] be free after one. And supposing that some butler or somebody won't let me in to. see this 'G. C. Ii.,' whoever she is, and suppose they're nasty to ine. Then am I to hand it over to somebody who'll pocket it themselves." "It'd he no sin on your soul if they did," Mrs. Carscadden answer- ed readily. "I'll tell you what!" e'heila sud- denly exclaimed. "P11 get myself up —well, you wait!" Her eyes were dancing. "Pll fix 'em! . Pll bet I get my blue coat!" she raid. "Sheila, how?" Angela demanded, eagerly. But Sheila would only laugh, and made no answer. • That evening, immediately after dinner, when Joe and Angela and Mrs. Carscadden were lingering over the remains of the meal, Sheila sud- denly appeared in the bedroom door. Or rather, someone appeared who must be Sheila, but who was not in- stantly identified even by her moth- er, brother and sister. She had strained her hair back from her always rather pale face, which was devoid of powder or lip reel, and looked young and pathetic, She wore, an. old black dress of An-. gee's that was scanty and tight on her more generous figure. "Me mamma and papa is dead, and I wor'rks for a lady that bates me," she said, in the soft, pathetic accents of County Mayo. "I found the little purse, and sure I t'ought at fir'rst T cud' pay me doctor's bills wi't it. But thin I rimimbered that there'd be no blessin' whatsoiver on that--" The appreciative laughter of. Joe and Angela interrupted the pitiful; story. Even Mrs. Carscadden laugh -I ed. But immediately her taco sober ed into a sort of scandalized pride in this prodigy who was her child.' her rebellious daughter. "You're not goin' there like that?" "I am, too!" "They'll give you another fifty. you big liar," Joe grinned. "No, but honestly, do you see how they can help handing it all back to me?" Sheila asked complacently "Oh, Mrs. Carscadden, dear'r," she added, sitting down at the table, and fixing her mother with tragic young eyes, "it's a har'rd winter on the poor'r—it is, include. Me man has been home it's t'ree weeks now, wit' his fut swelled up the size of a gourd, and me bad luck is that an- other little one is comity—" "Sheilal" her mother interrupted sharply. Sheila began to laugh, lay - in ben hell down among the litter- ed dis les of the table. CHAPTER VI. A half hour of ablutions usually followed the signal for breaking up the evening group . Joe poured hot water into a basin, removed his up- per clothing, and washed vigorously at the sink. Angela put on an old cotton kimono, and sat on the edge of the double bed, brushing her fair, lifeless hair. There, was no wash- stand in the tiny bathroom; the tub was customarily occupied by the wash -boiler and other cumbersome articles, such as a market basket and an old umbrella. Sometimes Sheila removed these impediments and took a bath. More often she waited until Joe was through, and then used a fresh ROYAL YEAST CAKES are always FULL STRENGTH Cushions Can ,Be Smart MAYFAIR NEEDLE -ART DESIGN NO. 142 This warmly -lined pillow, decorated with a graceful design in shades of brown and gold, gives a smart and inviting appearance.

"That kind of fun is a !yin' kind. of fun," the mother protested. But the others' amusement was soften- ing her, and she added, half under her breath. "To hear ye, I'd think me own sister Maggie was talkin.' She'd the very voice you have." "Do you care if I do it, and don't lie at all, Ma?

And as her only further comment after a general inspection of Sheila's costume was a reluctantly admiring: "You're a holy terror, and I would not wonder did the police take you up!" Sheila was free to escape, with one more burst of laughter, into the winter streets, to follow up the in- vitation to adventure.

Mencken shows that he can speak with greater force as a critic than as a supporter. The best he can say of Governor Landon is: "He would cut a poor figure in opera, but .he looks to me a pretty good hand with a shovel. He probe ably knows a great deal less than the Hon. Mr. Roosevelt, but much more of what he knows is true." That sounds like faint praise — weak language for Mencken. He becomes recognizable only when he turns to denunciation of the "New Deal". Then he says: "It is . the most discordant and self-contradictory gallimaufry of quackeries and false pretences ev- er seen on earth." Only Mencken could attempt to take part in a political campaign with a word like "gallimaufry" on his lips. He alone, in seeking to say that many policies of President Roosevelt have seemed to oppose each other to defeat each othet— would- mutter "gallimaufry", which means, according to the dictionary, "heterogeneous mixture, jumble, medley'.' It is a Mencken custom to "have a word for it", and, if possible, a most unusual word. Storm On The Coast (Daniel W.
