Grauel Some Notes on Aiternoon Teas Receptions, luncheons anil dinners | are pleasant way of paying social j debts in a wholesale manner, but for pleasurable visiting nothing equals the afternoon tea. This occasion may be formal or other- 1 wise, with cosy things passed along with the freshly brewed tea. I'lain bread and butter sandwiches, small cakes and rookies or fruit punch and home-made ' take or iced ten and sweet sandwiches make a friendly excuse for calling a simple gathering a "tea." If a large number of specially in vited guests are to be served yon will need flowers, color schemes and an elaborate service. Usually there are special friends who delight to "pour" and these may be given charge of the j important part of the affair. Little ' tables are placed for them if the sen ice is a la buffet, and the tea service is j arranged upon it. Other friends may assist in the serving or you may have j maid service. Sometimes lnrge tables are used with ( tea service at one end and chocolate at ! the other and the other refreshments j arranged daintily between. Or the guests fill the dining room and are served standing, again small tables are brought 1o various groups. These problems decide themselves when \ Mixed Nut Coal Now $6.55 Sept.

"Are you in j earnest?" she cried after searching inv face rather intently for a moment. "Unhappily, yes. Will you let me ex plain"— "The idea!" she exclaimed as she 1 drew herself to her full height and withered me with a look of surpassing scorn. "Am I to regard myself as a | prisoner, Mr. Smart?" J "Ob, 1 beg of you, Mrs. Titus"— I began miserably. > "Please answer my question." Her tone cut me like the lash of a | whip. My choler rose. "I do not choose to regard myself as i a jailer. My only object in opposing this"— "I have never known anything so ab-! surd." Two bright red spots appeared |in her cheeks. "Your attitude is most j extraordinary. However, I shall go to I the city this morning, Mr. Smart. Pray ; i give me the credit of having sense i enough to— Ah. Colingraft!" The two sons approached from the breakfast room, where they had been enjoying a 10 o'clock chop. Colingraft. I noting his mother's attire, accelerated I his speed and was soon beside us. I "Going out, mother?" he inquired, I flicking the ash from his cigarette. "If Mr. Smart will be good enough J to withdraw bis opposition," she said | icily. !Ie gave me a sharp look. "What's j UP?" j "Mrs. Titus doesn't seem to realize I j the risk she runs in"— I "Risk? I)o you suppose, Mr. Smart,! | I would jeopardize my daughter's"— j ! "What's up?" repeated Colingraft in j sistently. I "Mr. Smart calmly informs me that I j am not to go into the city." "1 don't see that Mr. Smart has any thing to say about it." said her son | coldly. "If he"— He paused, glaring. ! I looked him squarely in the eye.

I don't think he suspects that ' j the countess is here, but I greatly fear j that he believes I am interested in her i cause. He suspects me. You have j heard of our recent encounter.

Well. 1 can only say that Dil- ' iingham is a fool, and I don't purpose [ having ray own safety threatened by"—' "Your safety?" exclaimed he. "I like that! What hare you got to be afraid of?" "Yon seem to forget that I am bar tering a fugitive from justice." I said i flatly. Mrs. Titus gasped. "How dare you"—: "The Countess Tarnowsy is wanted by the authorities for kidnaping, and I think you know the facts quite as well as I do." I went on harshly. "God knows I ani doing rh.v best to protect her. lam risking more than you seem to appreciate. If she is found here my position isn't likely to be an en viable one. 1 am not thinking solely of myself, believe me. but after all I j contend that I have a right to assert I myself in a crisis that may affect nie J vitally. I trust you will see ray posi- | tion and act accordingly—with consid- ; eration if nothing else." Mrs. Titus did not take her eyes off mine while I was speaking. There was an expression of utter amazement; ; in them. No one had ever opposed her j before in just this way, I gathered, j j She didn't know what to make of it. j J "I fear you exaggerate the extent of 1 your peril.

"Leaving me out of the case alto- 1 gether, don't you think it is a bit un- i j fair to the countess?" I asked in some i i heat. "She doesn't want to go to jail." I "Jail?' she cried angrily.
