And if I felt in that manner as I entered the house I felt it to a still greater degree when 1 was welcomed by that most lovely old black slave woman of the high temper and good cookery. She opened the door for us herself, though a nice boy the color of a chocolate bon-bon stood in wait ing to perform that office. She had aj spoon in her hand, and upon her! head was a spotless white turban, asi also was an apron of an equal spot lessness tied around her very largo J waist. "You, Mas' Robert, you done coniei home from the heathen land to keep my food waiting jest like yo' father did from the minute I ontied him from my apron string. Come right into the dining room 'fore my gravy curdles and the liver wing I done] saved for you gits too brown in the skillet," was all. of the introduction j or greeting that she gave to me as| she waddled along behind Mr. Buzzi Clendenning and myself, driving us I down the hall and into the dinins room. "Gee, I hope Kizzie killed by the | half dozen last night. If there aren't three chickens apiece you'll be hun gry, L'Aiglon," said Mr. Buzz Clen denning. with a laugh, as he seated himself beside me and unfolded his, napkin. "I wish that you might call me Robert, Mr Clendenning," I said, ; with a great friendliness, as we fin ished the nice lunch. "Sure, Bobbie, and you'll forget that I wouldn't let you kiss me, won't you?" he answered as he drew back from the table and lit a cigarct after passing me the case. "Every body calls me Buzz the Bumble Bee because of a historic encounter of mine with a whole nest of bumble bees right out here in the general's garden. It is a title of heroism, and I'd like to have you use it as if we'd been kids together, as we were slated to have been.

Fortunately, there's a new and re markable process that really removes every hair entire, root and all! It is different from and far better than electricity, depilatories, the razor, or any other method. If you'd like to try it, just get a stick of phelactine from your druggist, follow the simple instructions —and with your own eyes see the hair roots come out! Roots are removed instantly, easily, leaving the skin perfectly smooth and hair-free. Phelactine is non-irritating, odor less. and so harmless you could eat it! It is so reliable that every stick is sold on a satisfaction-or-money back basis. Resorts ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.

Whitesell City Clerk must have partly betrayed my yearn ing to her. for I saw an expression of confusdl question come into her eyes that looked into mine; then the beautiful thing that had como into my Mr. Buzz Clendenning's eyes for me came also into hers in place of the question. I saw then in those eyes a sister born to the boy Robert Car ruthers of a great French strange ness. "I've been thinking about you all morning, Mr. Carruthers. and hoping Buzz would bring you with him to see me first of all. I wanted to be the: first one of the girls to say, 'Welcome : home' to you." And as she spoke those words of much tenderness IJ again bent over her hand in saluta- [ tion, because I could give forth no i words from my throat. "Sue, you are the real sweet thing j —and now notice me a bit, will j you?" said my fine Mr. Buzz Clen denning with both emotion and a j teasing in his voice. "I know I j haven't got French manners and don't look like L'Aiglon, but I'm an affectionate rough Jewel." "Please don't mind Buzz, Mr. Car ruthers —he just can't help buzzing." "For always I will be your humble Mile. Susan," was the answer I made into her laughing eyes. "That will do, Robert. You don't know how spoiled Susan is, and j you're making trouble for me. Be- i sides, you haven't seen the baby Belle In war paint yet. Let's go call j on her now!" And that Mr. Buzz Clendenning was in a moment ready for making more new friends for me. "Come on. Susan, we can tie Prince Bob on the running board." "Why. there's Belle at the gate now, and — it's Mrs. Whltworth with her. I wonder when she came from New York," said Mile. Susan as we went to meet the guests ap proaching, I on the one side of her and the Mr. Buzz on the other. "The beautiful Madam Whltworth came down upon the same train which I ocupied," I said as I re membered to raise from my head my hat by that action on the part of my Mr. Buzz. "Oh, then you have been present ed to L'Aiglon " said Mr. Buzz to that Madam Whltworth, who stood smiling while I was presented to the very lovely girl of very great blond ness, who both blushed and what is called giggled as I kissed her hand, though in her eyes I found a nice friendliness to me.

Really I don't know what we'd do if there didn't happen to one domestic person in the family." The speaker was a dark, vivacious looking girl with a careless way of saying exactly what she thought, re gardless of tact. Colby Burns had been attracted to her first by her very intense way of living. She, seemed to be all youth, all fire and indeterminate impulse. It was un usual to see a New York girl with so much nerve and naivete. Gen erally they posed as being blase and worldly. Colby stole a glance at the girl who was supposed to like washing dishes. She was so very different from her sister that she might have passed unnoticed if not called into observation by the careless remark. Now she looked up and met the grave eyes of the stranger her. sis ter had brought home to dinner. It was the first time these two young people had looked at each other during the evening. Ann smiled a little and Colby was con scious of a feeling of interest. The girl had wide gray eyes and reddish hair. She wa tall and slight and might have been quite wonderful to look at if she had been dressed be comingly and had taken the trouble to smile. "Do you really like to wash dishes?" he questioned. The girl spoke, and her voice was the loveliest oae Colby Burns had ever heard. Her eyes, too, lighted up and her slim little face became alive with humor. Burns did like a girl with a sense of humor. "Of course you know the story of the ill-fated youngest," she said. "In the case of a boy, he has to wear ths madeover clothes; in the case of a girl, she has to do the dishes and seldom says whether she likes to do them or not." Ann turned to Evelyn, whose face had suddenly darkened and who was making signs at her mother to make Ann stop talking. Everyone won dered what had possessed Ann to do such an unheard-of thing. Ann, who had always been forced to take sec ond place whenever Evelyn had brought her friends to the house. Ann, who because of her inher ertt sweetness, never had time to have friends of her own because she was too busy doing things for others. Fashions of To-Day - By May Manton fVVhat girl could ask a pret tier frock than this one, made of foulard with a detachable collar of white organdie? It is exceedingly smart, yet it is ab- simple and that com bination of smartness with sim plicity means an ideal costume for the younger contingent. You can, of course, copy it in one of the fine cotton voiles that are being so much used or you can use the model for organdie or for handkerchief lawn, but the foulard is always serviceable and the white or gandie collar gives just the touch of Summer-like dainti ness that is essential.

But to-night Ann was on a strike. No one knew that she had made a resolution to speak out to the first person who seemed at all interested. That the first person happened to be a new friend of Evelyn's could make no possible difference. "Then yoti're not really domes tic," Colby Burns inquired, trying to draw the girl out. "Oh, no! It's just taken for grant ed. I'm really no more domestic than Evelyn. Very few girls are, you know. Perhaps you don't know girls very well, Mr. Burns." "I think I've stumbled on a new variety," Burns returned. "Anyone to hear you talk, Ann would think that you were a regu lar Cinderella," said Evelyn angrily. "Oh, no," protested Anne. "You didn't think 60, did you, Mr. Burns?" "Not at all. I simply took it that you didn't like to do dishes any more than any other girl of your age." "Which was quite right," said Ann, with her quick, birdlike little laugh. "Well, I don't know what all the fuss is about," Evelyn continued more smoothly. She was too tact ful to allow Colby Burns to see that she was annoyed. Wasn't he quite the best looking man she had met In a long, time, and hadn't he a splendid position. "I'm sure that if you had a friend here, Ann, I should be quite glad to give you a chance to entertain. But suppose we go and do the dishes. You won't mind wiping them for me, will you, Mr. Burns?" Evelyn had quite an en trancing vision of herself as domes tic and sweet in a big beruftled apron. "Oh, no, Evelyn, I was just teas ing," Ann said penitently. "Of course I'm going to do them. You know you hate dish water, and I'm used to it." ' Atjd I'll help you," said Burns eagerly to Ann. Ann laughed. "All right, but I "Warn you, I'm mighty particular." And Ann vanished into the kitchen with a pile of china followed by Colby Burns. Evelyn was ready to cry with surpressed anger and vexation. "Mother .what do you suppose has come over Ann?" she questioned petulantly. "Why don't you say something to her? She has no right to in terfere with my callers." "Strikes me," put in her father, who had said nothing during the discussion, "that Mr. Burns rather wanted to help Ann. After all, Evelyn, yon don't do very much to make it pleasant for your sister; I thing you brought the whole thing on yourself." Out in the kitchen gray-eyed Ann. her arms deep In hot, soapy dishwater, was entertaining Evelyn's beau. Cinderella had waited a long time for the prince to make her a princess. After all, Evelyn had so many friends, what did just one matter, if he happened to appeal to Ann? ! "THEIR MARRIED LIFE" | | Copyright by International News Service Copyright, 1917, International News Service. Helen eyed the place as they turn ed in at the door,*with some suspi cion. Somehow it did not appeal to her. Not that she had ever heard of it; in fact, when Warren mentioned going there for dinner she had as sented laughingly asking if it were some place he had just discovered. "No," he had responded, "but the food is excellent. I think you'll like it." They went in the doorway, which was simply the area of an old-fash ioned brown house. Many of them are now used tor restaurants —some excellent ones, some fair and some hardly second rate. "My!" exclaimed Warren: "they have made some improvements since I washere last." "Oh; haven't you been here lately dear?" asked Helen. "Not in ages." They had reached an empty table now, and Helen was drawing off her gloves and was looking around the room. It was decorated wiht a great deal of shoddy, neargilt trim mings. and was lined with cheap mirrors. Most of the people at the different tables looked very much like the trimmings, Helen thought, and her words voiced what was in her mind, as she said to Warren: "Perhaps the atmosphere has changed, too, since you were here last." Warren looked around. "Oh, I don't know! You can't get every thing, you know; and the food is so excellent here and so cheap that of course the crowd isn't always just what could be found in some of the exclusive hotels." "But they all look so cheap. War ren. I have been In restaurants be fore where the crowds were far dif ferent than this one. The women look so loud." "Well, don't start to nag now that we have come here. It's the same every time we go anywhere, unless we spend a lot of money. You wom en are always such sticklers for the respectability of the crowd. What difference does It make if we get good food and good service and go on our way without bothering anyone?" "I should hate to be seen here by anyone I know." "Well, don't worry, you're not likely to be. Not many people know of this place anyway, it's a real fine if you want good food and plenty of it for a reasonable price." Helen was silent. All that War ren thought of was plenty of food and bought reasonably. To a woman the food was not of such importance as the place and the daintiness of the service. Warren spoke of good service by which he menat prompt service. Helen was now eating soup out of the thick soup plate which had been served to her from a huge greasy tureen. To be sure the soup was- good, Helen was fair enough to admit that but it had slopped over the side of the bowl and when the waiter had poured it out, and this fact almost took her appetite away. Warren, who was hungry and was eating the soup eagerly, had not noticed any- NERVOUSNESS AND BLUES Symptoms of More Serious Sickness.

He was contemplating the next course with eagerness, tell ing Helen that there were not many places when you were served lobster at such a price. The meal slowly dragged to an end. Helen was very quiet, and War ren finally remarked upon it. "WHat's the matter? Aren't you hungry? You're not eating anything.' "I wasn't as hungry as you, dear," Helen explained. "You don't like the place, do you?" "Not much," she admitted. "WeU, cheer up, and be a good sport. We won't come here again. But don't you think things were good?" "Oh, yes; but that's all." Warren had the good grace not to be angry at Helen's lack of en thusiasm. He had eaten a hearty meal, and felt in a good humor. Some noisy cabaret had started an>l Warren sat back in his chair to enjoy it to the full. Several Ha waiian boys came out-and a little girl who danced. She was rather sweet and showed quite extraordi nary talent. Even Helen was dis posed to be enthusiastic over her. Several of the men at the surround ing tables began to throw some coins out to the boys, the oldest of which could not have been more than twelve or fourteen, and they picked it up grinning delightedly from ear to ear. Warren put his hand in his pocket for some change and drew out a fifty-cent piece. .
