She wanted to ink her who else be longed to the fnmll.v, how sho hml hap pened to choso this neighborhood In whtrh la Hvp. nnil so forth, hut Instead she went Into the kitchen selected her best aluminum pnn, knocking down two more in her hurry, and went back to the door. Sho hoped the filrl would say' something more or would perhaps in vite her to come oter and do something, but sho simply took tho snuccpun with n merry "thank ou," and vanished in itlo tho door opposite. Ruth was forced to curb her curiosity whether she wanted to or not. The next morning, however, after she had kissed Scott good-by, and after she bad warned him that it was bad luck to come back, when hp did como back, live minutes after starting, for his rnlncoat. and she had kissed him again, and started him off, and sho was beginning to' take the things off the table, the bell f rang. Ruth went to the door filled with expectancy, and discovered a good looking man in the hall. "I beg jour pardon," he said polite ly, "but I wonder it you would mind going ov to my wife. She isn't feel- cll, and I have to go out. i- too much trouble? 1 think tired with moving." "Ccrtr jy, I'll ho right oer," Ruth returned and turning back to get her key and n turn down the gas flame on the stove, she hurried across the hall. The apartment next door was similar la shape to her own, only that it was a back apartmcut und looked out on nn nllcy. The day was dreary outside, and it lind begun to raiij, but inside! it looked cheerful enough, for there was a soft glow oer cver thing. Thick rugs were thrown over the Uoors so 'closely that there wus little of the floor Bhowlng. Ruth had nlwajs hated the ugly oak floors witii their varnished look ; here they did not show. Ruth glanced Into the kitchen as she passed, and snw that it was in wild disorder, but the ret of the house although not entirely to rights was picturesquely in disorder. The plain npnument house wallpaper was almost covered with heavily em broidered hangings in blue nud dull green and gold, and on h couch in the living-room lay the pretty girl who had como to the door last night. She wore a gorgeously embroidered Chinese cout and trousers and cunning Chinese slip pers. She did not look tired, but her lovely hair which was hanging -down her back, Ruth saw was more beautiful than ever. Jlost women when they un bind their hair never know what to do with it and they therefore braid it in Ugly braids for the night. This woman's hair was not exactly curly, but it wns bushy and stood out all around her like a halo. Ruth thought she had never teen anyone so lovely. ''Can I help jou do anything?" she asked ; sitting down on the edge of the vouch. "I know how hard it is to get settled." "Oh, no, I'll manage, but 1 did want someone to tnlk to. I hate rainy wea thpr. Here, sit over in this chair, jrou'll bo more comfortable. She wns looking Ruth over as she spoke with bright sharp ejes. "That's the dear est little houscdrcss," she excluimed, almost in the same breath. It sounded friendly and sweet, but it actually em phasized the difference between the two women. Ruth knew that she could he as attractivo ns this stranger in such a sitting, but in n simple giugliam dress she looked like a bourgeois housekeeper, while this woman in satin and embroid ery looked like n beautiful bird of some rare kind. Her ery maimer of speak ing of Ruth's simple attire emphasized this fact, although Ruth was too much interested in this new friend to bc ISve tMt she had done it purposely. "I sTTpposo you thought I wns crazy when jou got my message. People don't ordinarily make friends like this, do they? Especially in New York." "I suppose thoy don't in some places," Ruth assented laughingly, "but there aren't so many barriers in a 'wall: up' place like this us there are in some of the more expensive apartments." "I sec." Returned the girl, "I shall want lots of advice from jou, where to go for supplies and so forth, all tho little humdrum things that go to make up housekeeping. I hate it all." Ruth was silent. She didn't like it herself, but she was too practical not to want to hnve things neat about her, therefore what thero was to do she did. "I can see when Dan doesn't get much to eat," the girl said lightly, "and my housekeeping will) be rather sk4chy to say the least. I suppose you're very efficient, now, and know tho bes cuts of Mieat and everything there is to kuow." Iller tone was not suecriug but there was a nine 01 maucc in it. ' "I didn't know a thing before I was married," Ruth returned quickly, and ( a little sharply." Hut it the thing is there to do and there's no way of , getting out of it unless jou leave it ( undone, I do it." VI know jou're a wonder," sighed tho girl, and even that implied that sho was half "making fun.
