OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
WHAT HAPPENED TO JANE
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
CHAPTER 50
(Copyright, 1916, Star Company)
The few words about children 1
brought nearer together the two wo
men so unlike in character. ft was
less than a week after the conversa
tion just recorded that, without warn
ing. Mary spoke of something over
which she had evidently been brood
ing.
"You like children, you said," she
remarked. "Would you be glad to
hnve one of your own?"
Jane flushed hotly. .Mary had
never asked her as direct a question
as this before, and it confused licr
strangely. For the young wife had :
not let herself think much of this
matter.
"I—l—don't know. Mary," she
stammered. "If 1 had a child, of
course I would love it—but 1 would
not be sorry not to have one."
"Sometimes they're blessings, some
times they're—not," Mary affirmed.
"That's true. But whatever they I
«re, their mothers love them," Jane
ail used aloud. She felt at ease again.
The question had evidently been put
in an impersonal way. "Yes," she |
ißdded. "if I had a child I'd love it
no matter what it was. Wouldn't
>'ou. Mary?"
"i'd love it so that 1 would die for j
St?" the other murmured. As on a
former occasion when this subject j
•was broached, Jane saw a strange !
3ook come to the blaok eyes. Was !
jt the Indian in this woman that made j
3ier so vehemently when motherhood |
Mas mentioned'.' Were the Indians es- i
jpeeially devoted mothers'.'
The wonder made her ask an odd
question: "Would you really die for
« child, I wonder, Mary, if ho was
Hot all you hoped he would be?" |
"Yes." declared the other fiercely.
•'l'd die for him, if it would help; j
3'd even kill for him, if necessary, j
If his life and his good depended on I
it!"
The words were not terrifying, but , 1
»s she listened to them the younger;
"woman felt a subtle dread, as if in ,
the presence of some sinister and:
fearful influence —as one might feel, i i
ehe thought timidly, in a house one j;
knew was haunted —if one believed in
ghosts.
Afterward, when Jane reviewed !'
Ihees circumstances, it seemed a re- ■
markable coincidence that only the 1 '
Jiext day a letter came for Mary Baird. I
But life is full of coincidences that!'
tseems too remarkable to be true.
Jake had brought the mail from j.
•the village post office. There was i
nothing for Jane, so she did not see!

the letters. But as she sat alone read
ing. she fancied there came a sound of
muffled sobbing from the room at the
end of the hall. That was Mary's
room, and Jane recalled now that she
i had heard the housekeeper come up
stairs some minutes ago. but had not
given the matter a second thought.
Hurrying down the hall, Jane
knocked on the closed door. There
was a rustling of paper, then Mary
appeared at the door. Her face was
haggered and her eyes rimmed with
red.
Jane spoke gently. "I don't want
worry you," she said, "but have
| you had bad news?"
The thin lips twitched. "Yes."
Mary murmured. "I've heard of the
illness of—of—a—a person -I'm in
terested in."
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" the exclamation
was sincere and fraught with sym
pathy. It brought tears to the keen
eyes.
| "But don't you want to go away for a
day and see—that person?" .lane sug
gested. "If so, I will be glad to do
: your work."
"lie wouldn't let ine go, Mary whis
pered.
"Oh. I'm sure he will!" Jane exclaim
ed. For the moment her pity rendered
her oblivious to the fact that her hus
band's sympathies were not as tender
as hers. "Ask him—and 1 will do all 1
.can to -orsuade him to send you."
"I ve got to go—l've got to!" Mary's
intensity of anguish swept away pru
dence and the discretion that had made
her lower her voice .iust now, and she
spoke loudly. "Whether he says I can
or not—l must!"
•She stopped with a gasp.
The room in whose doorway the two
women were standing was at the bead
of the stairs. A slight sound made
them both turn. On the top landing
stocd Augustus Reeves. As Mary, over
wrought and nervous, met his angry
glare fixed upon her. she uttered a faint
scream.
With a bound, the man cleared the
space between himself and her.
"You ——!" he burst forth, hurling
a vile epithet at the startled creature.
"So "ou've been telling my wife, have
you? 1 heard you! And 1 heard her
say that when 1 knew what you'd told
her I'd Jane!" Interrupting himself
and wheeling upon the girl—"it's an in
fernal lie, everything she's said —a lie,
T tell you: She's a liar, and she's a bad
one through and through! Surely you
don't believe her?"
"Augustus Keeves!" The woman i
who for an instant bad cowered under
his tongue-lashing now faced him fear
lessly, her voice ringing out as if in
command. "Be quiet, for God's sake,
unless you want to ruin yourself! Be- :
fore Heaven, I have not told her a
word—not a word!"

FROCK OF PLAID
IN MISSES SIZE
For Smart Spring Wear, Two
of More Materials Will
Bo Combined
By MAY~MANTON
£826 With Basting Line and Added
Seam Allowance ) One-Piece Dress for
Misses and Small W omen, 16 and 18
years.
Here is one of the prettiest, smartest
frocks that could be offered. It combines
i plaid taffeta with the new crepe gabar
dine and it is most charming both in ma
terial and treatment as well as in its lines
and cut. It is simple too and easy to
make, especially so because of the seam
allowance and basting line included in
the pattern. The skirt is a simple one,
, gathered at the upper edge, but the trim
ming portion that is applied over it gives
it an entirely novel effect. The blouse too
is p.ain with the trimming arranged over
the lower edge, but as a matter of course,
if a simpler dress is wanted, these trim
ming portions can be omitted and the
plain blouse and skirt only used. No
i more fashionable combination of materials
! than these could be suggested, but there
are of course many others that arc equally
good. Plain silk could be combined with
striped or plaid or taffeta could be com
bined with velvet or plain serge with plaid.
For the 16 year size will be needed, 6
yds. of material 27 in. wide, yds. 36,
4 yds. 44, with 2% yds- 36 or 44 in. wide
for the trimming portions.
The pattern No. 8826 is cut in sizes for
16 and 18 years. It will be mailed to any
address by the Fashion Department of
this paper, on receipt of ten cents.

OUT OF POLITICS
FOR GOOD--TAFT
Hopes to Live and Die a Pro
fessor; No One Indis
pensable
Sfecial to the Telegraph
Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 11. For
mer President AV. 11. Taft, now a'
professor of law at Yale, yesterday j
practically announced his elimination
from politics, and his determination
never again to seek public office, when !
he said, in his rooms at the Bellevue-
Stratford Hotel: —
"I am now in a respectable profes- ,
sion. 1 hope to live and die a profes
sor."
This is as near as the former Presi
| dent ever has come to an announce
; ment that he was through with ail
participation in practical politics.
Mr. Taft came here to address the
members of the Uw Academy of
Philadelphia at the hotel last night.
He had been asked what he thought
of the chances of Theodore Roosevelt
to obtain the Republican Presidential
nomination and of the effect on the
anteconvention campaign of Justice
Hughes' positive refusal to allow his
name to be used in connection with
| the nomination.
"I am hermetically sealed," he re
plied to both questions.
Won't Comment on Brantleis
Then he was asked to comment
upon President Wilson's appointment
i of L.ouis D. Brandeis to the supreme
1 court bench.
"Excuse me." he said, dramatically
waving his hands and smiling with
the old Taft smile upon those sur
rounding him.
"Some of your friends." he was told
! "in press dispatches a tew days ago,
i said you ought to be sent to -Chicago
las a delegate to the Republican con
vention so that you could work in the
interests of men of the type you
would like to see become the party's
standard-bearer."
"What have they against me." he
j asked laughingly, "that they should
i wish me trouble?" Then, in a more
j serious tone, he added:
"The people are not herding for
| any one man. No one man is indis-
I peiisabie lo the country at the pres
ent time."
Use New Searchlight
in Submarine Operation
To assist battleships and destroyers
in locating submerged mines, an Am
erican has developed an under-sea
searchlight equipment which, when
used in conjunction with a special
' water glass, makes it possible to dis
! tinguish objects at a distance of 2,-
000 feet. A powerful electric lamp is
mounted on one side of a vessel be
low the water line, at its bow. This
may be turned to different, angles by
an operator on deck. Immediately
forward of this is the glass, similar
to a modified periscope, forming the
| ship's under-sea eye and used to fol
low the illuminated path. When a
mine is located in a vessel's course, a
! torpedo is launched which may be
; discharged electrically. This is
watched and at the proper instant dc
i toned. thus exploding the mine. It
is believed that the device could also
be used on mine sweepers lo advant
age. From the February Popular

IMPORTANT
NOTICE
Careful investigation made by the Laundry men's National
Association of America, both among the selling agents of dye
stuffs and the manufacturers of wash goods, shows that there
is a shortage of permanent dyestuffs almost amount
ing to a famine, and that industries depending upon fast
colors are in many cases closed down.
€| That the better quality of shirtings now being worn, are per
haps in most cases, fast colors, but that this condition cannot
possibly continue for any great length of time.
That the wash goods in which the colors are most question
able at the present time are: Red Tablecloths and Nap
kins and Towels with Red Borders; Blacks in Cotton
Ginghams which are apt to wash lighter and in some cases
"crock" when the damp goods are folded. Black Stockings
will probably "bleed" and turn lighter. Light Goods with
Blue, Red or Black Trimmings are apt to cause trouble.
C| Some makers of wash goods are already notifying their pa
trons that they cannot guarantee the permanency of colors.
<1 Under these circumstances, and for the further reasons that there is no known
method whereby fugitive colors can be washed so that they will not run and
no way of knowing whether colors will run or not, except by washing, we beg
to notify our patrons that while we use every care in the handling of colored
goods, we cannot be responsible when these goods fade, as some of them surely
will.
<1 In view of the situation we strongly urge our customers to use as much
white goods as possible until such time as the permanent dyes will again be
available.
