8 HOUSEHOLD TALKS Henrietta D. Grauel From a Housekeeper "Our latest household improvement Is large and brown and helfty and hails from Virginia. Her name is Isabella and we have the lady's permission to call her Izzy or say the whole thing. Probably we will learn to say Isabella after a while, but so far we stutter a little. "This morning she asked me where J kept the bed stick? Now a bed stick is something new to me, but I saw by her look of disdain and the way her two hundred and something pounds suddenly grew stiff that I was 'mighty poor white trash' not to have one. So 1 said, 'lsabella, if you need a bed stick have one made at once.' A little later I saw Isabella makiifg beds with a bed | ' ! iv* I.l' nui | S Stations, points of Interest.

The article, I will have you know, is really just a stick (in this case a broom handle), and after each cover is laid on the bed Isabelle proceeds to smooth every wrinkle out with it. I suppose she is accustomed to feather beds, but she did give the coverlets a trim, neat look that was most inviting. "After watching her make one bed I saw that she did not need any su pervision. She turned the mattress end for end and put the sheets on just right,—wide hems at the top and nar row at the bottom and she was suffi ciently well tutored to get the blankets even and with the opening where it should bo. Thanks I give to some care ful Virginia lady for teaching Isabella the right way, and to my new "improve ment' I shall give something substantial in the way of a ticket to a picture show or an extra afternoon for herself. "I wish you could see how dainty my guest room is now. Perhaps, if f teil you about it you will visit me. You ppmember it is a side room, not very light nor ltrrge. so I used a plain, pink pebble paper with a white border sten ciled with rose vine and buds. It was not difficult to find cretonne that matched the border and this I used for curtains. I lined these with dark sateen and they slide easily 011 a rod and shut out the light nicely. "All the furniture for this room was worn so I repaired it using white enamel. As it looked plain and cold I marked a little design 011 the head and foot board of the bed and 011 the chair backs and then touched it delicately with piuk. .It is so simple that even I could not fail and the result is that this room looks sweetly pretty, whole some and clean. "I must not forget about the floor. I sewed many carpet balls this winter and they made a rug large enough to do for this room. It is vefy light and altogether suitable for it can be washed.

"Are you a cousin or a brother that you know my name?" asked the an cient woman. "Everyone knows the name of th® oldest woman in the Sahara,'' said Hainmet Abou, "and the victorious are always brothers.'" "What do you want with me?" she asked, thinking or the neipiessnesß ot the village. Hammet Abou pointed to the hut. "You have a white captive In there la he alive?" "What is that to you, son of a dog?" "The mother.of many sons Is wise," said Hammet Abou portentously, "but she does not know that this man car ries the Evil Eye. His dog carries the Evil 'Eye for his enemies. Your people j have gone to battle. Unless this man is cast out from your village, your j young men, your grandsons and your sons will be destroyed." The old woman regarded him calmly. I "1 do not. fear it," she said tran- : qullly "We have had corn and oil In ] plenty. He is sacred." For the first time she looked at his companion, tall and slender and evi dently younger. "You favor the coward Franks," she said in a high voice. "You have come to fall upon us In our desolation." She was about to raise the peculiar j wall which would have summoned to her all the women of the village The I dogs of the place had already begun to • show their noses, and the villagers were drawing near the people under the palms. Now the young man began to Bpeak swiftly in a language that she did not understand, addressing his j comrade. The language was so curious \ that the woman, with the cry arrested Dn her lips, stared at him. Pointing to nlB companion, Hammet Abou said: "Fatou Annl, this great lord kisseß your hand. He says that he wishes he could speak your beautiful lan-! guage. He does not come from the j enemy; he does not come from the French. He comes from two women of his people by whom the captive is j beloved. He says that you are the | mother of sons and grandsons, and that you will deliver this man up into our hands in peace." The narrow fetid streets were be ginning to fill with the figures of j women, their beautifully colored I robes fluttering in the light, and there j were curious eager children who came running, naked save for the bangles upon their arms and ankles. Pointing to them, Hammet Abou I said to the old sagq: "See, you are only women here, I I Fatou Annl. Your men are twenty j | miies farther aouth. We have a cara- I van of fifty men all armed, Fatou j Annl. They camp just there, at the ' ! edge of the oasis. They are waiting. ' | We come in peace, old woman; we | ' come to take away the Evil Eye from j i your door; but if you anger us and i [ rave against us, the dogs and women | of your town will fall upon you and j destroy every breast among you." She began to beat her palms to ! gether, murmuring: I "Allah! Allah!" "Hush," said the Bedouin fiercely, j "take us to the captive, Fatou Anni." Fatou Annl did not. stir. She i pulled aside the veil from her with ered face, so that ber great eys looked out at the two men. She saw her predicament, but she was a subtle Oriental. Victory had been in her ! camp and in her village; her sons and ! grandsons had never been vanquished. Perhaps the dying man in the hut would bring the Evil Eye! He was j dying, anyway—he would not live '■ twenty-four hours. She knew th« ! for her ninety years of life had see I many eyes close on the oasis under | the hard blue skies. To the taller of the two Bedouins j she said in Arabic: "Fatou Anni is nearly one hundred i years old. She has borne twenty chil dren, she has had fifty grandchildren; she has seen many wives, many brides | and many mothers. She does not be lieve the sick man has the Evil Eye. She is not afraid of your fifty armed j men. . Fatou Anni is not afraid. Al lah is great. She will not give up tb<s Frenchman because of fear, nor will she give him up to any man. She gives him to the women of his people." With dignity and majesty and with great beauty of carriage, the old wom an turned and walked toward her hut , and the Bedouins followed her. CHAPTER XXII. Into the Desert. A week after the caravan of the Due ; de Tremont left Algiers, Julia Red mond camo unexpectedly to the villa of Madame de la Maine at an early morning hour. Madame de la Maine saw her standing on the threshold of her bedroom door. "Chere Madame," Julia said, "I am leaving today with a dragoman and twenty servants to go into the desert." Madame de la Maine was still in bed. At nine o'clock she read her pa pers and her correspondence. "Into the desert—alone!" Julia, with her cravache in her gloved hands, smiled sweetly though she was very pale. "I had not thought of going alone, Madame," she replied with charming assurance, "I knew you would go with me." On a chair by her bed was a wrap per of blue silk and lace The com tesse sprang up and then thrust her feet into her slippers and stared at Julia. "What are you going to do in the desert?" •vvaicn: ■ "Yes, yes!" nodded Madame de la Maine. "And your aunt?" "Deep In a bazaar for the hospital," smiled Miss Redmond. Madame de la Maine regarded her • slender friend with admiration and envy. "Why hadn't I thought of It?" She rang for her maid. "Because your great-grandfather W»s not a pioneer: MISS Redmond answered. The sun which, all day long, held the desert in its burning embrace, went westward in his own brilliant caravan. "The desert Diossoms like a rose, Therese." "Like a rose?" questioned Madame de la Maine. She was sitting In the door of her tent; her white dress and her white hat gleamed like a touch of enow ; upon the desert's face. Julia Red -1 mond, on a rug at her feet, and in her i khaki riding-habit the color of the : sand, blended with the desert as : though part of it. She sat up as she I spoke. "How divine! See!" She pointed to the stretches of the Sahara before her. On every side they Bpread away j as far as the eye could reach, suave, : mellow, black, undulating Anally to small hillocks with corrugated sides, 1 as a group of little sandhills rose soft |ly out of the sealike plain. "Look, ! Therese!" I Slowly, from ocher and gold the I color changed; a faint wavelike blush ' crept over the sands, which reddened, ! paled, faded, warmed again, took ! depth and grew Intense like flame. "The heart of a rose! N'est-ce pas, I Therese?" "I understand now what you mean," said madaine. The comtesse was not a dreamer. Parisian to the tips of heij fingers, elegant, fine, she had lived a conventional life. Therese had been taught to conceal her emotions. She ! had been taught that our feelings i matter very little to any one but our | selves. She had been taught to go j lightly, to avoid serious things. Her | great-grandmother had gone lightly to i the scaffold, exquisitely courteous till the last. "I ask your pardon if I jostled you in the tumbrel," the old comtesse had said to her companion on the way to , the guillotine. "The springs of the cart ; are poor"—and she went up smiling. In the companionship of the Ameri | can girl, Therese de la Maine had } thrown ofT restraint. If the Marquise i d'Esclignac had felt Julia's influence, i Therese de la Maine, being near her I own age, echoed Julia's very feeling. Except for their dragotnan and their 1 servants, the two women were alone j in the desert. Smiling at Julia, Madame de la | Maine said: "I haven't been so far from the Rue de la Paix in my life." "How can you speak of the Rue de ! la Paix, Therese?" "Only to show you how completely I | have left it behind." Julia's eyes were fixed upon the lim itless sands, a sea where a faint line Julia's Eyes Were Fixed Upon the Limitless Sands. lost Itself In the red west and the hori zon shut from her sight everything that she believed to be her life* "This is the seventh day, Therese!" "Already you are as brown as an Arab, Julia!" "You as well, ma chere amie!" "Robert does not like dark women," said the Comtesse de la Maine, and rubbed her cheek. "I must wear two veils." "Look, Therese!" Across the face of the desert the glow began to withdraw its curtain. HOTEL IROQUOIS] South Carolina Avenue Beach ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.

"Like a rose!" Julia murmured, "smell its perfume!" She lifted her head, drinking in with delight the fragrance of the sands. "Ma chere Julia," gently protested the comtesse, lifting her head, "per fume, Julia!" But she breathed with her friend, while a sweetly subtle, in toxicating odor, as of millions and mil lions of roses, gathered, warmed, kept, then scattered on the airs of heaven, intoxicating her. To the left were the huddled tents of their- attendants. No soonei had the sun gone down than the Arabs com menced to sing—a song that Julia had especially liked: Love Is like a sweet perfume. It comes, it escapes. When It's present. It intoxicates; When It's a memory, it brings tears. Love is like a sweet breath. It comes und It escapes.
