Hut It Is such a cool, calcu lating, noonday-glare sort of thins that the old charm has fled and the gilt been metaphorically rubbed off tho ginger bread. "What la lovo?" the curious Inquirer asks. "It Is the light that never was on land or sea," says one sentimentalist. "It Is an exaltation, nnd a poet's fiream," replies another. "Absurd and ridiculous nonsense I" cries the modern scientist. "Lovo Is nothing more aor less than a. very common and ordinary disease!" This Is a disconcerting statement, to say the least of It. It knocks the bottom out of sentiment and turns Hfo from poetry to prose. According to Dr. Richard J, Tlvncn, love Is a complaint much more Intractable than measles, but ho holds out some hope that the malady can bo cured by the surgeon's knlfel This Is poor comfort "This malady that people call love should io properly termed nnnphylaxls," "saya another doctor, "and It Is a con dition of lack ot resistance. Whenovcr women are In question, men aro In a chronic state of anaphylaxis." Tes, It Is true that men do seem In clined to follow tho Path of Least Re sistance, or-4n ethical terms, they nd vocate the principle of Lalssor Falre. I cannot quite see that this condition of theirs should be fastened upon by science as applicable to the gentlo passion only I rf $ iv A 1 f OLD-FASHIONED WORKERS AND NEW -FASHIONED KITCHENS By MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK AUXliUll, III- i-. A certain well-known woman recently moved from her country home Into a less modern furnished city house for tho win ter. Her country kitchen was modeled on the most efficient lines with the new est labor-saving equipment. There was a tireless cooker, a dishwasher, an enamel ed sink, aluminum utensils. Nothing was cluttered, everything had Its special place, and the kitchen was a Joy In green and white. The kitchen to wjilch they moved was nearly twice ns largo as Its chief orna ment was a large coal range. There were Bo modern devices, only a slate sink nnd tare floor. Everything was kept In closed cupboards, and It was fully 25 feet to the pantry. The mistress deplored the step-taking room, and made some re marks about how old-fashioned It was. The worker who was, in many respects above the average, looked around nnd said, with her eyo on the ornate calen dar on the bnck door, "Well, but this Is & kitchen you can take right Into your heart!" Nothing: more could bo said. This worker liked a kitchen which was a combined sitting room and a cozy place rather than a convenient place, to work in. Prom her point of view, she preferred a loosely shaped room with everything awkwardly arranged to a smalt compact room In which kitchen operations were put first Her comments were Interesting because It gave the point of view of the old-fashioned (and still very prevalent) worker to whom. In foot, the ldtohen Is her sole domain. Bho does not care so much about easy work as she does that the kitchen should have a certain sense of largeness and familiarity. She la the 3dnd of worker who prefers to stay in the kitchen as much as possible and take her rest in the kitchen rather than to get through quickly and tako her rest or recreation In her own room or else where. Bo for. the old-fashioned worker the old-fashioned kitchen still seems best. 2,'ttlclency leaves her untouched, but "he bathes herself in sentiment. The new efficient sanitary Ideal" for the kitchen cannot proceed any more rapidly than these Ideals are grasped and desired by the worker who Is to use the kitchen. It oeems therefore, almost unnecessary to struggle for these Ideals of sanitation, no pshea, and step-savins; work until we Jiavo workers who appreciate the Ira provetuents, . The reason the Ideals hava been ditching on with suoh great enthusiasm Is that they have appealed to the rota trua Bret, and particularly to the woman frtio d hr own work. In ray constant axparlenco with this problem I find the W0BMB who aro most keenly In earnest, - Hrto r taost desirous of efficiency va t fc- sunt of going Into their pocket InrAa for !bor-sa.vIn equipment, are the youwai whs hold the reins ot housekeep Ud tm, thtlr own hands.

XiiNMtyifMac atni t s tiw &td fur s lilt jUb A DISEASE Men follow the path of least resistance In most things. "Married men have an Immense ad vantage over the bachelor In tho co operation of two minds lies wisdom," as serts a third doctor. "I could never give Solomon much credit for being wlsc-ho had 700 wives. When he wont beyond his own little family circle ho had no more wisdom than a rabbit and no moro moral sense than n tomcat. I need only refer to the eplsodo of tho Queen of Sheba." Certainly Solomon must havo been a most complete victim of anaphylaxis! There can bo doubt on that score. Ho should havo been operated on long beforo the advanced ntago camo on. Under tho Influence of love, people will certainly act In tho most extraordinary fashion. I have known tho mildest nnd meekest of men becomo like rnmplng, roaring lions. Thus doeB tho gentlo pas sion Inspire them. Conversely, I have known tho most bom bastic, bumptious men to becomo ns quiet nnd unassertive as tho proverbial mouse. Tho victim of Love or, as wo are now told to call It, Anaphylaxls-ls generally pretty hard to get along with In ordinary, humdrum, everyday life. Down In tho depths one minute, up in the heights tho next, hlB movemontn and his moods arc dreadfully uncertain. The celerity and tho frequency with which the average youth of a certain nge can fall In and out of lovo (a astounding. Five cases of passionate attachment In one week isnot uncommon to bashful 18. Ho takes all Ave very seriously, too. It must bo very trying for the poor boy. How to do Justlco to five all nt once is a hard matter. I do not think that tho scientific defini tion of love v. Ill ever have the popularity which Its enthusiasts crave. People will continue to fall in love in tho good, old fashioned way in splto of surgeons and specialists. Tho ups and downs of being In lovo aro doubtless sufllclentty trying without bringing In long-winded Latin names and tongue-twisting appellations to confuse the victim of the gentle passion. THE ITCHEN ilVW.31 - , .U, At. class of really trained household workers who shall value the mechanical labor saver and not let tho bread-mixer rust In the closet; to a worker who would prefer to d work quickly, in a con venient area, and go out when finished, rather than to take twice as long to do the same work and lump down In the kitchen afterward. The new-fashioned kitchen appeals only to the new-fashioned worker. If wo want tho one, we must at tho same time develop the other. The Luncheon Party Dear Peggy Of course, I know I've neglected you horribly of lato, but really nothing very out of the ordinary has been given until yesterday, when Helen Miller announced her engagement and then she gave the moot fascinating little lunch I've been to In a long time. As you know, Helen's favorlto color Is lavender, so all the decorations wero of that shade. OrchldB and lilies of the val ley composed the centrepieces, and at each guest's place was a little lavender natln vanity bag. Naturally, we were all ex cited to see what was inside, so when we opened them we found the cutest little black cats with lavender ribbon around their necks to which a card was attached with his name and hers written on It. Imagine our surprise when we read that! And who do you think Is the man? Don Fisher! And now for the luncheon.

Fifty thousand pounds is demanded for the return o! Ouy. Lady Anne agrees to pay ft. Xord Arthur and Denham take the money to an Island and toalt. A boat drifts to them. In U is a dead man. CHAPTER XX "It's Anderson," said Denlinm, kneel ing down on the berth and looking Into the face of the dead man. "I saw him that day In the West Wooas." "Anderson, eh?" said Lord Arthur slowly. "Then, this is the boat we were waiting for?" "I'm afraid so, my lord. Let me pull him out and have a look at him." "Not yet, Denham not yet the rest of the boat we mutt search It at once." They made their way through the cabin door Into the fo'c'sle. Tho light of tho red lamp fell on the glittering engine, the two berths filled up with odds and ends, on a box of tools half under water, and some pieces of broken crockery, Hut there was no living soul to be seen. Lord Arthur forced open the skylight and climbed, up on the deck. The cojd wind hurled a shower of ley spray into his face. "Anne," he muttered. "Oh. Heaven." Denham thrust up his head through the skylight, "I'd better start baling out the water, my lord," he said, "I'll light the lamps nnd see If I can get the stove to burn." Lord Arthur made no reply. Ho was thinking of his sister-lnlaw, of the story he would have to take back to her, "You'll catch your death of cold there, my lord," Denham continued, "have pneu. monla very likely you'd best come down there's a lot to do down here." Lord Arthur roused himself, and, re entering the fo'c'sle, closed the skylight In a few minutes Denham had lighted a couple of lamps and ar oil -stove, which he placed on the table. "You have a Iook at Anaerson, my lord," he said. "Perhaps a drop of brandy might put lire into mm, it wouiq be better for us If he lived, my lord. There's a good deal we'd Ilka to learn from him." lord Arthur" went to the corner, and dragging the man out from the heap of rugs laid him on the cushions ot the berth. A. very short examination of the body was sufficient to tell hira that An derson was dead. lie hadheen shot through the heart. The body was already quite cold and stiff. ''Had a quarrel, I expect, my lord." said Denham "about the division of the spoil. The other fellow has made off with the boy." "You think sot" said SJsrlet eagerly. 'Suro of It, my lord well, we aan't do anything lust yet. We'd better bale out the cabin and then try to dry our clothes One must look after oneself, A bit of ORIGINAL IDEAS AND SUGGESTION FOR THE SOUTH hard work won't hurt us save us from a. chill perhaps." "What a sensible person you are, Den hame. But we'll put this gentleman In tho fo'c'slo first. Poor deyll, he's paid dearly enough for his sins." They moved tho body into tho forepart of the vessel, laid it on a berth, closed tho eyes and covered tho dead man over rev erently with a rug. Then Denham closod tho door and they set to work to get rid of some of tho water. It was not until thoy had thrown 20 buckets of It over board that they remembered that boats of any bIzo nro usually provided with some form of pump. They searched and found It on the port sldo of tho cockpit. "That's better," said Lord Arthur, catching hold of the handle. "You go and see If you can find some food cocoa I fancy hot cocpa or soup. I can manage this by myself." Half an hour later the water was pumped out of every part of tho boat and n kettle was singing on tho top of tho ollstove. Denham had found Borne dry clothes'"Jn an airtight locker nnd had changed'Into n thick white Jersey and a pair of llannels, Lord Arthur Merlet had decided to do no more than remove his overcoat and put on a dry oilskin. "I've stood a good deal worse than this," ho said In reply to Denham's en treaties "slept night after night In the rain. Look sharp with that cocoa." The detcctlvo1 tilled up tho two cups with boiling waiter and added soma con densed milk and sugar. Then, ho began to open a tin of sardines. "Any bread In tho place?" queried Lord Arthur. "Somehow I don't fancy " Ho paused suddenly nnd looked past Denham at tho cockpit, dimly seen In the light that streamed from the open door of tho cabin. It seemed to him that some thing was moving nlong tho edge of the boat something that looked uncommonly lllto n man's hand. "What's tho matter, my lord?" queried Denham. "Nothing. What are you talking about? I was saying I would have some broad, If there was any." "I thought you saw something outBlde there, my lord." "Nothing at all, Denham," said Merlet sharply, but at the same time he moved his foot and kicked his companion gently on the Bhia "I felt a tlngo of rheumai tlsm, that was all. Have a look for the bread, that's a good fellow," And then he added In a whisper, "Some one on the starboard, side. Get quickly out of foo'sle and lie on deck (111 I give you a hall." Denham made his way to tho locker at tho end 9f the cabin. Merlet rose to his feet. "There are some lockers out tn the cockpit," he said, "I'll run through them, One can't eat sardines with cocoa and no bread." He picked up one of the hurricane lamps B. A. Jochmann B.

With this, smart llttlo gown, Elinor will wear a cute boat-shaped Scotch hat In black satin, and black patent leather shoes with light uppers.

Ho know that some one else was close to the boat, probably crouching under tho curving side of her and within a yard of whero ho knelt. The man, whoever he was, would havo less chance of escapo If no alarrr was raised until the occupants ot the boat were both clear of tho cabin. He opened one locker after another, pulling out various articles and replacing thom giving Denham time to tako up his position on tho deck. Then ha roso to his feet, shouted "Hello, Dcnhnm!" nnd sprang over tho edge of tho boat onto the sand. A dark form, crouching under tho sldo of tho vessel, bolted out like a rabbit from Its hole and went Hying along tho spit toward tho shoro. "Fire at him," shouted Lord Arthur. "Fire at him," and as they started oft in pursuit ho took out his revolver. "Steady, my lord," snld Denham, grip ping him by the arm. "One can't go shoot ing about like that that won't do In Eng land." Lord Arthur flung off his oilskin, which was hampering his movements. "We's got him all right,' he said; "he can't get oft tho Island yet." "By the way ho came," said Denham, breathlessly. "You tako the right of the Island, my lord I'll tako tho left." They spernted whon they reached the shore, nnd Merlet ran swiftly Into tho wind-swept darkness, stumbling over thick tufts of grass and holes In the ground. They met again at the far end of the island. "Seen anything of him?" gasped Merict "No, my lord he's slipped us. Our lampB gave us away." "What did you make of him?" "Small chnp, my lord active as a cat bluo Jersey and trousers looked like a sailor." "At all llko Vertlgan?" "Might havo been him, sir, but I don't think Mr. Vertlgan could run like that." "Well," grumbled Merlet, "wo'vo lost him." "It's warmed us up, my lord, anyway." "Yes, It's done that, and no more. Hhall wo get back to the boat? I'd llko some of that cocoa." "I'd Just like to tako a drawing of these footprints, my lord, while they'ro fresh. I'll Join you In n few minutes." Lord Arthur made his way back to the stranded motorboat and, entering the cabin, poured back tho cocoa Into n sauce pan and held It over tho stovo to warm. A few minutes later he was sipping a cup of the welcome beverage and gazing thoughtfully out into the darkness. "Can't make head or tall of It," he muttered; "nnd I doubt If any one else can."
