household. Martin hat, on opportunity
to go to ``e.•tnaay tostudy r,.edicifie but
lack of funis will not permit. 'Chris-
topher Steyhes is being pursued by a
Russian countess ar? her daughter and
in order to discourage their attentions he
proposes that Mary Kate act as his wife
at eeceptl0n'gtven co the duchess, Mary
Kate accepts and meets Stephen at Bur-
1'•tgame. The ruse works like a charm.
After the reception Stephen takes Marie
to his house where she is to receive (he
countess at dinner nextdaY.
CHAPTER XX,—(Crent'd.)
Mary terned. the Ivey in the door,
and crossed the room' to draw the
shades at the windows. A low light
was bighting in a bedeide lamp; one
of the beds was neatly turned down,
Ler old-fashioned peach -colored night-
gown and Wrapper and slippers were
laid iii t'@fiddle@s,
!'he room was very quiet; the single
light made onlya pool of rosy bright-
ness in the soft dimness. Delicious
right s'ents drifted in from ,he gar-
den; scents of grass and drowsy flow-
ers. Except for the distant honking
of an occasional motor horn, there was
sound.
Standing in the centre of the room,
stricken motionless by the power of
her own thoughts, Mary ':ate stool
still for a long time, The farred wrap
was on her arm, the petals of the
ivory satin skirt settled. about ier,the
pearls smouldered in opal colors on
her ivory throat.
"You fool—" she said•present:y
aloud, "You poor fool—"
Foot To tate a chance like this!
To deliberately place herself in this
situation.
Her face burned. Her breast rose
and fell. She bit her lip—thinking.
"Wny, nobody that hated me -could
de a meaner thing than this to, mei"
eLtry Kate ,aid. - •
She t'ad done `. in young audacity
add high spiel a sand confidence. )t
had bees just masquerading, just play-
acting, a few hours ago. Now it was
different.
Some things were wrong, and some
eight, The definition cane to her as
freshly as if it had never been made
before. Wrong. She was doing some-
thing very wrong.
"It would be diffs,ent even if I
.ved ' Christol.hce Steyees," she
thought "It would have some excuse
then,"
Loved him? She loathed him. She
loathed the snrcothness, the laughter—
she had once called it hideously laugh-
ter with which th's undertaking had
been managed.
Her side of it—her reputation and
feelings, were noticing to these men,
Chris, Gordon i ountrce, young Archi-
bald.' They thought this a joyous sort
of joke—and Christopher was going to
give her a cheque for it.
Anger suffocated her. She would
hot touch his cheque.
Mary Kate flung up her head, and
began to move rapidly about the room.
She carefully hung the furred wrap
in the closet, balanced the exquisite
ivory gown on a padded hanger, put
the pearls away in their old-fashioned
case.
The plain ring—her wedding ring
from the five -and -ten -.cent store --she
flung from the open window far into
the dark garden. Let it fall into The
new grass somewhere and . ct away.
Her breath was coning fast, but
she would not cry again; now and
then she stopped, and covered her
shamed face with her hands.
She had imagined that Christopher
night make love to her tonight, fool
that she was! She had imagined her-
self dignified, reserved keeping him at
bay.
But she had never imagined the
humiliation of his casual laughter, his
desire to let his friend in on the joke,
his e.tsy trust that money would make
everything right,
She would tear up his chemo before
his'eyee. But no, she couldn't do that.
That would rob the affair of its last
shred of dignity. If it were not ter
the money, who earthly reason had she
for beiug, here at all? She had -never
seen Christopher Steynes until the day
when he had made his preposterous
proposition.
An older woman would have seen
the wholeplan in its arrogance and
insult. Ansi an older woman wet d',
have quietly declined to have anythiicg
to do with it, or him, An older' wo'
man—Mother, '
The thought of her ncother„ over
whelm„d her, and she felt a desperate
homesickness for the ,shabby house in
O'Farrell Street, the 'kitchen, the fa -
milia_' voices,. the purity and safety
and simplicity of homer

brushing•her hair severely, washing
.This mail had hired her,,as he might
oave hired any -poor littje street walk-
er, to -play a part. Rich and idle and
perfectly willing to run ell, soyte at
risks himself, he had needed a pretty
rrl foe. e few hours, and without•the
slightest difficulty he had found her—
bed found her willing to take chances
['5'1 Al* vier then his own!
Well, inerya few hours she would be
home this secret shut forever in her
own heart; she would be home again,
wiser and older and gadder, and ready
to forget the paste and, tarp .only to-
ward the future—toward being every-
thing that Cass and Mother and Mart
and the children could ever want_her
to be.
And meanwh.le, she told herself bit-
terly, she had the satisfaction of
knowing that everything that these
spoiled young men believed of poor
girls was true. They could be bought,
they had - no pride, they night be
laughed at with perfect impunity.
"And I have a stain against my
name forever!" she said aloud.
But it couldn't' be quite as bad as
that. Some people, Mother and Mart,
if they ever found out, would surely
believe her story. They would know
it was only the appearance of things
that was against her.
"But you didn't deliberately pack
your things—and lie to me—and go
down tothat man's house Mary Kate,"
she could hear her mother say. "You
knew better than that, dear. You
knew that that was wrong?"
Suppose Mary refused to tours
money made this way? Suppose Mart
drove her out of the house—
He couldn't do that! Mother
wouldn't let him.
She got out of bed, and knelt down
in the dark, 'and prayed, her hands
over her face.
"Please get me dut of this. Have
etc safely at home, and none of them
knowing—none of them angry at me.
I didn't mean to do this! I thought,—
only thought—"
What she had thought was 'already
'vague and far -away. She could not
recall it. Her mind drifted idly, while
she remained on her knees, went to
and fro in a wearisome weaving With-
out beginning or coherence or end.
The ivory dress—the spring -flushed
countryside from the train—a parrot
on a perch—home again and silence,
and normality once more—the bridge
game, and herself so fatuously self-
satis'ied with her make-believe posi-
tion anal her jewels—I
She was still kneeling when a faint
sound stopped the blood in her heart,
and brought the salt water to her
mouth. Her fingers -her spine, grew
cold; her very brain seemed frozen.
This for an endless second. Then
her heart began pumping so violently
she thought it would suffocate her. She
remained absolutely motionless, not
making a sound, not moving, by the
faintest hundredth part, a fibre of her
being..
Somebody was fumbling cautiously
with her window shutter. Like a blind-
ing flash of light she considered it.
Just a latched shutter, with a bolt; a
string cleverly inserted might lift the
bolt, and if it were lifted, it would
make just that faint scratching sound
—that shadow of a sound—
Mary Kate's starting eyes were
turned toward it in the dark. Her
finger-tips were pressed against her
cheeks, her mouth open. Outside, the
black g,ttden, and the country night.
Behind her as she knelt here on the
floor beside the bed, the mysterious
unfamiliar passage of the dark house.
Where was Chris? Had he coin back?
Where were 'the servants?
She could not move, She dared not
make a rush, for that' locke.d door be-
hind, hes and stumble blindly through
the: dark • house, screaming for help,
with 'perhaps this murderous house -
.breaker's hands throttling her even
while she screamer —
"I'm 'imagining it," her sick spirit
tried' to say, deep within her. `"Oh,
my God, save me! Oh God, help me!
Oh, get me out—"
Theshutter- clicked audibly; this
was not imagination: Swallowing with
a dry throat, only determined not to
faint; Mary. Kate rose to her feet,
stumbled backward toward the door
without daring to turn her back to
the shutter, and put shaking hands on
the key.
This without a sound. She' eould
hear her own,heart pounding; nothing
more.

Dairies Find Pint Bottles
Are Least Easily Broken'
The quart milk bottle "gets it In
the neck," so to speak. A survey
made by the Bureau of Dairy Indus-
try, United States Department et
Agriculture, indicates that quart bot-
tles break more readily than pints
or smaller bottles. In nearly half
of the milk plants studied this was
the case, Half-pint and smaller bot-
tles, known to the mint trade as
"jars," led the breakage in a third of
the plants and pints made the best
showing.
As a rule, quart bottles brealc more
easily than smaller bottles when sub-
jected to the same blow, and pints
probably break more easily .than
"jars." But the smaller bottles gen-
erally got more blows and strains in
the average plant, especially in the
washing machines, conveyors and hot,
tling machines. When bottling
cream, the light jar often sticks to
the valve and is dropped' on the floor:
In the server, covering sixty-nine
plants, each Dene 1,000 quart bottles
were handled 9.6 of then were brok-
en; each handling of 1,000 pints re-
sulted In the breakage of 7.2 and
each handling of 1,000 "jars" result-
ed in 8.1 being broken.
Making Stockings
:Mothers who have several children
about the same age will find it a good
plan to mark each child's stockings.
Choose brightly colored wools, and
with a darning needle run two or
three stitches of the wool (a differ-
ent color for each child) along the
top of the Grose. If this method Is
adopted much inconvenience may be
avoided.
It is advisable to sprinkle a little
easter sugar over sticky sweets in-
tended for children. This prevents
them from sticking together in a
mass. The sweets should be stored
in airtight tins or bottles,
Should there be any difficulty in
giving powders to a child, cut a ba-
nana in two, scoop out a little of the
fruit, then place the powder in the
'cavity and put the two pieces togeth-
er. The probability is that the child
will eat the banana without noticing
the presence of the powder.
A WHEEL
And, after all, the world is nothing
but a wheel. In its whole pgrlphery
it is everywhere similar; but, never-
theless, it appears to us so strange,
because we ourselves are carried

Clean Curtains
The home maker who likes wide-
open windows and cool night breezes
is often discouraged at the frequ-
ently with which curtains must be
laundered. There are two ways,
however, in which she can keep her
curtains fresh and still have plenty
of air.
The first is by purchasing a set of
flat brass rods for each of the win-
dows that remains open. These rods
are screwed into the window trim on
either side and when opened, extend
like arms. The curtains are Kept
back by these rods and are prevented
from flapping against the screen or
dragging across the sill. When not
in ttse, the fiat rods fold back against
the woodwork.
The other way is to fashion miaow
protectors of oilcloth or waterproof
material and dress the curtains in
these each night,
To make these -protectors, use 54 -
Inch material, oilcloth preferably, in
a color to match the hangings. Cut
the 54 -inch material in half and for
each window cut a length of it that
will reach from the largest opening
of the window to the floor, when the
curtains are long. If they are short,
out the oilcloth their length. Then
screw a hook in either side of the
window trim the height the windows
are usually raised. Sew two loops
of tape in each corner of the oilcloth,
and at night encircle the curtains in
these oilcloth protectors and slip the
loops over tiro kooks. These cer-
tain protectors are also available in
household departments of stores, but
although they are grade still more
efficient by snaps up the sides, they
cannot be procured in all lengths.
This fault the home maker can elim-
inate if she fashions her own,

Of That Id Attic
By Mien, Johnson Keyes
In the Christian Science Monitor,
Why leave the attic a waste of
trunks and cobwebs?' Architectural-
ly, this upper chamber often has much
charm. Its. drooping roof, its deep
.dormer windows, its beams, are quaint
and delightful. Almost every family.
would welcome an additional roam,
erect if this could be made comfort-
able only for a part of each year. It
is hard to cool an attic in summer
and in many cases it Is diifeut to
warm it in winter, although this is
the easier task. Between seasons, if
not for longer, it may become a pleas-
ant retreat for the person seeking'
aloofness in order to carry on some
special work.
Moreover, everyone who decides to
decorate an attic has a pretext for
becoming that delightful thing, a ro-
manticist- Indeed, this Is necessary
if the true garret flavor is to bo ex-
pressed. Elsewhere; conventionality
commands, but an attic may be a
phantasy, with the family history or
some one of the family enthusiasms
for its theme.
In color the garret should be vigor-
ous, with large areas of brightness
Penetrating large areas of shadow.
One must not fail to let the shadows
Im'k, for they typify the half -under-
stood things, the mysteries of a reced-
ing past, which are the very breath
of an attic's being; but one wishes to
interpret them cheerfully.
Sage -green and black accented by
scarlet is a delightful color scheme.
The floor may be made black by
means of paint err dyed carpeting; the
walls a sage -green, the gable of the
dormer windows, scarlet. Another at-
tractive harmony Is made up of brown,
somewhere between cinnamon and
seat, and a strong u:sItrs•of--roses pink,
accented be, robin's -egg blue, In this
ease the floor should be brown, the
walls pink and the dormer recesses
blue, The brown gamut, from cream
to tawny autumn shades, though less
original, is always pleasing and may
be dramatized by notes of peacock
green.
Furniture Unlike That Elsewhere
Garret furniture must be quaint or
at least extremely simple in form.
Colonial pieces are the best if avail-
able, although such foreign curiosities
as may have been brought home from
China, India, Spain or where not are
even more exacting.
Old chests express the attic charac-
ter, which stands for accumulations;
rind—bo it whispered—romantic-look-
ing trunks of antiqued leather, stud-
ded with brass, may be bought at a
number of department stores, guaran-
teed to kik then' ancient part when
in the proper environment! If recep-
tacles must be bought, ono of these
may well prove more picturesque than
any series of drawers.
Fabrics Important Factor
Cretonnes, chintzes and printed lin-
ens are here in their element. Pic-
torial designs are specially desirable.
There is, for instance, the MVloby Dick
pattern for a home with a whaling an-
cestry; also available are absurd maps
revealing diminutive continents in-
habited by strange fauna. Farmers,
milkmaids and windmills appear in
pastoral scenes.
Any such fabric—chosen according
to the history and character of the
family—may be used as curtains, cus-
hions, chair -backs, couch throws and
wall panels, Too much of one pattern,
however, loses its interest by reitera-
tion, and more than one pattern is dis-
turbing. So the figured goods should
be varied by plain, in the solid tones
shown in the patterns. All the de-
signs mentioned are developed in a
number of color scales,
Accessories of Many Sorts
A shelf between two salient points
is effective for an ornament or two,
but these must be ht character, Ship
models and the dashing tallyhos and
coaches now in vogue aro particularly
fine, The greatly eimplifiet), half -lite
Maces animals and birds available in
pottery, wood, metal and various 'com-
positions may be used in a way to de-
velop the character of the room, as
doorstops, booloends, or merely as
bric-a-brac.
Maps, globes, old-fashioned dolls and
other playthings, of the long -ago
should certainty be present; tin types,
miniatures, silhouettes,. samplers,
crewel work, all become articulate, as
it were, wider garret eaves. If anefeet
collections survive, 1)e they of clocks,
costumes, fails, nautical instruments
or whatever, they should be featured
ender safe protection, - •
The modern worker, retiring to such
an environment to write a book, to
illustrate a story, to design a frock,
will feel her busy finger tips brushing
thervibrating strings of incessant time,
Will not her book be more universal,
her drawings more profound, her
dress more unigue because she is eon -
scents of 'the•fluit'of the ao-called past

added to a three -egg omelette before
beating up the eggs helps to produce
