10 P§] HOUSEHOLD jj|l TALKS Henrietta D. Grauel Color in the Home The beauty of the home does not lie in the quantity or kind of furniture purchased or the amount of money spent in the house. It is not super fluitv, or effusiveness, or any great effort th»it charms and attracts. It is an intuitive touch, an indefinable art applied to covering faults or emphasiz ing good points. Housekeepers have lived, done their best and gone to their graves without ever having had an attractive bit of color scheme in their homes. Others there have been, who, with only the 1 gentle touch, the seeing eye. ha\e brought beauty into every part of the home life without effort. There is rest fulness in color and there is also a glorious sense of power to be imparted with thus means. Color heightens ceilings, and lowers them. It broadens rooms and con denses them. Artistic lights enhance natural beauty: shadows deftly placed, give superior loveliness to brilliant col ors that, if left to glare would mar an entire room. Color in the home begins with building of the house. How reck lessly interior wood work is chosen, i how carelessly windows are placed. Booms are made dark by porches that are not decorative or useful but are stuck on the house because other folks have them. Your acquaintances pene trate no further than the hall, the li j brary or the parlor, or whatever you call your best rooms. Their certain . social rites are gone through and they leave you. but they take away impres sions. strong or weak, colorless or vivid according to what you have placed be fore them. You have the opportunity to influence every one who steps across your threshold, through the eye. The eye records impressions, it is the gate way to memory, to thought, to expres sion.

You don't consider whether the drafts are strong enough for the large coal or whether it would be bet ter to try a medium coal or a very hard coal or any of the many other influences that go to make up a successful furnace and a warm home.

' Warrington whirled upon him sav agely. "Thanks? Don't thank me, you weak-kneed fool!" "Oh. 1 say. now:" the other pro tested. "Be silent! If you owe that scoun drel anything, refuse to pay it. He n»ver won a penny in his life without cheating. Keep out of his way; keep out of the way of all men who prefer to deal only two hands." And with this advice Warrington stepped out into the hallway and shut' the door rudely. "Pay the purser and get a box of ci gars." Warrington directed James. "Never mind about the wine. I shan't want it now." James went out upon the errands im mediately. Warrington dropped down in the creaky rocking-chair, the only one in the boarding house. He stared at the worn and faded carpet. How dingy everything looked! What a sordid rut he had been content to lie in! Chance: to throw this man across his i path when he had almost forgotten him. forsotten that he had sworn to break the man's neck over his knees! In the very next room! And he nad permitted him to go unharmed simply because his mind was full of a girl Ue would never see 6gain after tomorrow.

He leaned toward the window sill and opened the cage. Rajah walked out. muttering. • ••••• • When it was possible. Elsa pre ferred to walk She was young and strong and active, and she went along with a swinging stride that made ob vious a serene confidence in her ability to take care of herself. What the un knowing called willfulness was Bimply natural independence, which she as serted whenever occasion demanded it. She loved to prowl through the strange streets and alleys and stranger shops; it was a joy to ramble about, minus the irritating importunities of guide or attendant. It was great fun. but it was not always wise. There were some situations which only men could successfully handle. Elsa would never confess that there had been awkward moments when, being an ex cellent runner, she had blithely taken to her heels. In her cool, white drill, her wide, white pith helmet, she presented a charming picture. The exercise had given her cheeks a bit of color, and her eyes sparkled and flashed like raindrops. This morning she had taken Mar'ha along merely to still her protests. "It's all right so long as we keep to the main streets, * said the harried Martha, "but I do not like the idea of roaming about in the native quar ters. This is not like Europe. The hotel manager said we ought to have a man." "He is looking out for his commis sion. Heavens! what is the matter, with everybody? One would think, the * way people put themselves out tp warn you, murder and robbery were daily occurrences in Asia. I've been here four months, and the only dis agreeable moment I have known was caused by a white man." "Because we have been lucky so far, it's no sign that we shall continue so." And Martha shut her lips grimly. Her worry was not confined to this particu lar phase of Elsa's imperious moods; it was general. There was that blond man with the parrot. She would never feel at ease until they were out of Yokohama, homeward bound. "I feel like a child this morning,' said Elsa. "I want to run and play and shout." "All the more reason why you should have a guardian. . . . Look, Elsa!" Martha caught the girl by the arm. "There's that man we left at Manda lay coming toward us. Shall we go into this shop?" "No, thank you! There is no reason why I should hide in a butcher shop simply to avoid meeting the man. We'll walk straight past him. If he speaks we'll ignore him.' 1 "I wish we were in a civilized coun try." "This man Is supposed to be civi-' lized. Don't let him catch your eye. Go on; don't lag." Craig stepped In front of them, srail- j ing as he raised his helmet. "This is, an unexpected pleasure." Elsa. looking coidly beyond him, at tempted to pass. "Surely you remember me?" "I remember an insolent cad," re-i piled Elsa. her eyes beginning to burn dangerously. "Will you stand aside?" He threw a swift glance about He saw with satisfaction that none but, natives was in evidence. Elsa's glance roved, too. with a little' chill of despair. In stories Warrington would have appeared about this time j and soundly trounced this impudent scoundrel. She realized that she must settle this affair alone. She was not a soldier's daughter for nothing. "Stand unfit**" 44 Hoity-toity!" he laughed. He had been drinking liberally and was a shade reckless. "Why not be a good fellow! Over here nobody minds. 1 know a neat little restaurant. Bring the old lady along." with a genial nod toward the quaking Martha. Resolutely Klsa's hand went up to her helmet. nt;d with a flourish drew out one of the long steel pins. "Oh, Elsa!" warned Martha. "1e still! This fellow needs a les ion. Once more, Mr. Craig, will you stand aside?" Mad he been sober he would hare scon the real danger in the young woman's eyes. "Cruel!" he said. "At least one kiss," putting out his arms. Klsa. merciless in her fury, plunged the pin into his wrist. It stung like a hornet, and. with a gasp of pain, Craig leaped back out of range, sobered. "Why. you she-cat!" "1 warned you," she replied, her voice steady and low. "The second stab rill be serious. Stand aside." He stepped into the gutter, biting his lips and straining his uninjured band over the hurting throb in his wrist. He had had wide expedience with women. His advantage had al ways been in the fact that the general run of them will submit to insult rather than create a scene. This dark eyed Judith was distinctly an excep tion to the rule. Gad! She might have missed his wrist and jabbed him in the throat. He swore, and walked off down the street. Elsa set a pace which Martha, with !ier wabbling knees, found difficult t< T-'ntain "Yon mtgtit have killed him!" she cried breathlessly. "You can't kill that kind of a snake with a hatpin: you have to stamp on its head. Br.t 1 rather believe it will be some time before Mr. Craig will again make the mistake of insulting a woman because she appears to be defenseless." Elsa's chin was in the air. The choking sensation in her taroat began to subside. "You know and the purser knows what happened on the boat to Mandalay. He was plausible and affable and good look ing, and the mistake was mine. I seldom make them. I kept quiet be cause the boat was full up, and as a rule I hate scenes. Men like that know it. If I had complained he would have denied his actions, inferred that I was evil-minded. Heavens, I know m * : - "Now, Not a Single Word of This to Anyone." the breed! Now not a single word of this to anyone. Mr.'Craig. 1 fancy, will be the last person to speak of it." "You had better put the pin back into your hat." suggested Martha. "Pah! I had forgotten it." Elsa flung the weapon far into the street. Once they turned into Merchant street, both felt the tension relax. Mar tha would have liked to sit down, even on the curb. "I despise men," she volunteered. "I am beginning to believe that few of them are worth a thought. Those vvho aren't fools are knaves." "Are you sure of your judgment in regard to this man Warrington? How c~n you teil that he is any different from that man Craig?" "He is different, that Is all. This afternoon he will come to tea. I shall want you to be with us. Remember, not a word of this disgraceful affair." "Ah, Elsa. I am afraid; I am more afraid of Warrington than of a man of Craig's type." "We are always quarreling, Martha; and it doesn't do either of us any good. When you oppose me I find that that is the very thing I want to do. You haven't any diplomacy." Warrington's appearance that after noon astonished Elsa. She had natu rally expected some change, but scarcely such elegance. He was. with out question, one of the handsomest men she had ever He was hand somer than Artlwf because he was more manly in type. What a mystery he was! She greeted him cordially, without restraint; but for all that, a little shiver stirred the tendrils of hair at the nape of her neck. "The most famous man In Rangoon today," she said, smiling.
