It wasn't until Saturday morning that I had any way of guessing whether or no a week-end spent with the Cosbys would be pleasant. Friday evening was taken up in motoring to the Inlet House, dining there and getting settled. That evening was too busy and rushed to have any particular flavor of its own—pleasant or otherwise. I woke Saturday morning with that queer feeling of uncertainty that generally greets one in a strange bed. The room was steeped in gray, yet the hush of early morn ing wasn't over the world. Lifting myself on one elbow I peered at Jim's watch dangling from its chain looped over the liead-board of his bed. Nine. Not early a bit. I got up and tip-toed into the bathroom. Then I found out that in stead of our room being the dark and dreary inside room I had thought, this was a gray and deso late day. Cold rain slanted down. Little gusts of wind rustled the green-tipped branches of bushes and trees. The window-shade, fly ing out in the wide space where the top sash had been drawn down, flapped back and forth just out of reach. Everything seemed horribly de- j pressing. Yet I had known gray | days in the country before. Hays i of sewing and going bustling about the household tasks. Days spread out happily toward an evening of | apples and nuts and cider, with a little tocking-darning and patch ing and reading of news aloud to make everyone cozy and cheery. But I didn't fool myself about this day. It would he nothing like those I remembered so longingly. It wasn't. Before I was dressed Valerie Cosby telephoned that I must break fast with her in her room, since ! Lane insisted that he and Jim would i shoot a little pool after they'd had j breakfast down in the grill and had i read the papers. Now breakfast in j any bedroqm is a pet aversion of mine. But when its some one else's j bedroom—words fail me, but ideas i don't. I knew what Jim expected of me, however, so I accepted with my best imitation of alacrity. I found Valerie propped up on three or four pillows. She was dressed in a shadowy affair of yel low chiffon and swansdown. Wound around her head was an oriential turban of cerise and gold. She looked ready for a fancy dress ball, i But her room was strictly in neg ligee. Neglected would be more like l it. Bits of lingerie were flung over ! chair backs and across bureau tops, i Hoxes of powder spilled amid brushes ind mirrors and amber monogram- i med in gold. Cigarette stubs and cold £ cream shared a w;ndow-sill. The t covers on what was evidently Lane j Cosby's bed were crumpled in a HEINZ OVEN BAKEE BEANS j off the family | pocketbook With meat so high, and not so } good for us anyway, what a boon to have a food so rich, so j good, so nutritious and so easily i 4 prepared as Heinz Baked Beans!

' "I ordered for both of us. Choco- late and rolls. Soft-boiled eggs and griddle cakes," said Valerie Cosby luxuriously. "I didn't know just ' how much of a breakfast you made. > But if we had a good meal now we won't want anything till tea. That's ' the way I keep my weight right ' without dieting." "That will be plenty," I managed i to say. I knew I couldn't get much down t in that untidy room, and my break l fast is always coffee and rolls and fruit. I don't have to worry about my figure, and lunch is my best meal. I wondered uneasily if Jim, too, would forego the noon meal, i I made a sorry enough breakfast. Valerie's little dog, Rammi, had come along and she put the tiny little white rat of a toy Egyptian on the edge of the tray to lap up the vegetables and meat scraps. This for me was the last straw. Then I had to stay in the room while Valerie went through a long intricate toilette that kept us housed in her unaircd room until 12 o'clock, j By the time she was ready to go downstairs I had a raging headache j and it didn't improve a bit when' X saw my own drab reflection in the mirror elevator as we went down jto the lobby. Nor did Jim's first I words of greeting lift any of the storm clouds from my day. "Look who's here," he cried. "The | gQOd fairy who'll chase the rain away. Valerie Cosby, you're the first woman I've ever seen who acctually is more radiant jn the morning than at night." "It's this little green and gold batik smock," explained Valerie, with a manner two parts compla cency and the other part intimacy. "I knew you'd like it. Shall we kill the day with a little session of pok ,er? Of course youv'e found a few i men to play. Cosby?" | I'd never heard a woman call her i husband by his surname before, and iValerie caught my surprise and drag ged it into the limelight. "Jim, your wife's shocked. Is it i the poker—or my calling my big brown bear 'Cosby?'" she ventured in her creamy voice. "Oh. Anne's a Puritan—but she'll learn," said Jim, leaning across her chair-back so that his lips came close to the burnished waves of her lacquer-black hair. "Will you chip in on a little poker, Anne?" "I don't play—and I'll spoil the game," I said with what I meant to be the manner of a good sport. I'll be all right—l'll find a magazine. Shall I meet you here for lunch in i an hour or so?" > • "Lunch? When we've just break- , fasted!" exclaimed Valerie in an ' amused voice that made me feel like 1 a terrible greedy. "Oh, we'll be ' playing till six, won't we?" 1 "Of course," said Jim, smiling at i Bringing Up Father "• " Copyright, 1918, International News Service i%/ il/ cManus IF MOiOAND i>MOKEt> 111 | h,ov/ I ( HERE A VERT TT IT PI tAY- , x- VF THAT r ~ j ONE. -OF THE^>E'CICjAR c S-\T'LL I I I l\ | FINE IT r -r-/~\ _S? , THAT CICiAR J CURE HIM OF £>4 A DOLLAR- J , 1 -£?

He led me aside under the unwav ering eyes of Valerie Cosby' and said | in a low angry voice: j "Why don't you eat when other | folks do? If you want lunch, order it in your room and pay for it. You know we're guests and we can hard ly suggest meals our hosts don't order. But I beg of you, Anne, just for this once, don't insist on having everything your own way." I thought of that dreadful break fast for which I hadn't been offered a single choice of my own. Yet I didn't answer Jim because my voice couldn't have found a way to force itself out of my throat. With a start I realized that I was thinking about the petty annoyance of the day, and passing by the big trouble that had once worried me so. Jim was pre paring to mamble again. Didn't I care? (To Be Continued.) Commissioner Asks for Information on Roads County Commissioner C. C. Cum bler said to-day that letters will be sent to the officials in the various townships and boroughs in which State State-aid road' improvements are contemplated, asking for com plete information about the amount i of available funds the districts have ! for the work. | The townships' officers are to be notified also of the communication sent to the county commissioners by the State, giving a list of eleven secondary highways which are to be improved during the next few years.

Promptly at a quarter of twelve Delaine and the limousine were in front of Samuel Lelghton's house. David had driven the car a short way uptown and back, just to be sure that he understood it thorough ly and that his hands had not lost their cunning. On this point at least he had no cause for nervousness. Nevertheless, he felt uncomfort able as he glanced up at the win dows of his employer's home. He did not know what a chauffeur should do at this juncture. Should he ring the bell and announce his presence, or should he wait outside until it suited Miss Leighton's pleas ure to come out? At the end of five minutes the front door opened and his employ er's daughter appeared. He sprang down from the driver's seat and opened the door of the car for her. He knew that chauffeurs did this, and was aware that it was expected of him. He felt as if he ought to uncover his head at the same time, as he had always been most courtly j in his manners to women. But he recalled his present position, and touched liis hat as he had seen coachmen do. Miss Leighton paused, her foot on the step of the car. "Smith," she said, "of course you do not know yet what my wishes are. But I always like my chauf feur to announce to the maid that he has come. Hereafter ring the bell as soon as you arrive and tell Norali that you are here." "Yes, Miss." She stepped into the car, sat ■ down, and looked at him as if wait ing for some action on his part. For a moment he was all confusion. Plainly something more was ex pected of him. All at once he no ticed the fur motor-robe, and, un folding it, threw it over her knees. "Thanks," she murmu.red. She directed him to drive to an address on Park avenue. There she ordered him to tell the hallboy to j announce to Mrs. Duflteld that the car was here. David Returns This command obeyed, David re turned to the automobile and stood as he had seen other chauffeurs do, by the open door. The wind swept down from the north and out of the corners of his eye he saw Miss Leighton draw her furs more close ly about her neck. Then, looking at him, she spoke suddenly: DAILY HINT ON FASHIONS ! A CHARMING DRESS FOR "PARTY" OR "BEST WEAR" 2814 —Soft crepe, voile, batiste. Swiss, dimity, nainsook or silk would be lovely for this dainty model, with trimming of lace and insertion. The underwaist could be of lining and over laid with material below the : bolero edges.

The abrupt question startled him into a momentary dumbness. She e repeated the query, her voice stern: n "I—l—do not need'one, Miss," he stammered, t "But you do," she insisted. "I e can see that you are cold. You - should have brought your overcoat, t Don't you know that this sudden t cold weather might give a cold that might lead to pneumonia?" He appreciated that evasion would - do no good. He was chilly, and had e been chilly ever since he took the r car from the garage. He had re -1 fleeted with relief that his livery si would undoubtedly include an over- B [ coat. . J "I am sorry. Miss, but I have no I overcoat that would be suitable for e me to wear while driving." "But you surely have an outer -.coat of some kind," she insisted. 1 "What have you been wearing this Autumn?" i, How persistent she was! "My 1 army overcoat," he said bluntly. | She caught her breath in sur , | prise. "Your army coat! You were .•Jin the service?" "Yes, Miss." 1 "I am glad you were!" she said, i and now she smiled kindly. "I was wondering why a strong young man i like you was out of the service. By the way—how does it happen that i you are out of it now?" 3 He swallowed hard yet he an . swered: "My health, Miss. I had a t slight accident." a "That accounts for you looking 1 rather pale and thin. What kind of an accident did you have?" "To a lung." t "A lung? What do you mean? . You have no tubercular trouble, . have you?" No Tubercular Trouble "Oh, no," he hastened to reassure her. "It's only the result of an ac . cident. I will be all right before long, I hope." She looked at him searchingly. "Were you" she began. But at that instant, to David's relief, Mrs. Duffield came out of the house and hurried across the side walk. "I am so sorry to have kept you waiting, my dear," she said. "But my clocks are all wrong." "That's all right," the girl re joined, absent mindedly. Leaning forward, she addressed David just as he took his seat. "Smith, drive around by your home or boarding place and get your overcoat." The man was silent long enough to sunjmon courage to protest. "Indeed, Miss Deighton," he sniil, ; speaking through the open window J of the car, "I would rather not do that, I do not need the coat." Her face flushed as if she were displeased, but she spoke calmly. "Very well. Drive down to Carne gie Hall. I want to get some tick ! ets," she added, turning to Mrs. Duffield. David DeLane piloted his car down Fifth avenue, his face was hot with a mixture of indignation and amusement. He wanted to laugh, yet felt an impulse toward pro fanity. He could not blame his young mistress for speaking to him as she did. He had put himself in this position. The errand at Carnegie attended to, a short shopping tour followed. David was learning readily the i rules to be followed by a chauffeur who drives through the shopping district. Yet he drew a breath of relief when at last Miss Leighton spoke the welcome words: "Home now, Smith. Do not drive by Mrs. Duffield's. She will lunch with me." To Be continued. Advice to the Lovelorn A SLOW WOOING DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I have known a very respectable girl for ten years; the fact is I al ways dearly loved her, but never told her. About a year ago I joined the army. In a short time I wrote her a card, then it got to be very friendly letters, and when I came home about,two months ago I called on her, ana she seemed greatly pleased to see me. I told her of my love for her, and she readily told me the same thing. Since then I have been calling on her and taking her out. But when we come home she insists on having a hugging and kissing party for a half hour or so. Now, the question I would like to have answered is this: Is this proper, for she is a girl I can trust, knowing her so long. She is as good a girl as can be found. A CONSTANT READER. I am afraid you are to self-con tained temperamentally to realize how much the young lady must think of you. Remember, you have known her for ten years, and doubtless during much of that time she cared for you, but owing to the restrictions thnt hedge in "the fair" under such circumstances, she was unable to show it. Finally the war brought matters to a taidy climax, and thy ,:iil is demonstrative—well, it's up to you to become engaged and hurry up tne wedding.
