But then, you see, I am young—really young.”’ ~ aaavii (Continued) “I’d even sleep in the studio, but have made one concession to my poor family. They’re not reconciled* but, after .ail, 1 am twenty-four—and spent two years in France. 1 have had three orders for portraits—friends of the fam ily, of course. 1 must be content with ‘puli' until I am taken serious ly as an artist. If I can only ex hibit at the next Academy 1 shall feel full-fledged.” ■'Ami what of your new circle?" ’T’ve been to several parties and enjoyed myself hugely. Some of them get pretty tight, but I’ve seen people tighter at house parties and not nearly so aniusing. And then Gora and Suzan! I’ve never liked any women as well. . . . This is the first.dinner of the old sort I’ve been to since I started.” "Ah?" asked Clavering absently.. “Why the exception?” “Well,*you see, I am tremendous ly ißtrlguee, like every one else. I’d met her several times at home, and she came one day to my stu dio, where the Sophisticates made the most tremendous fuss over her But I was curious to see her in her own old home, where she had reigned so iong ago as Mary Og den. Mother. thing was stair carpet anti her bedroom.” Her tone was lightly impersonal, and still more so as she added:' “Why don’t you write a novel about her, Lee? She must be the most remarkable psychological study of the age. Fancy living two lifetimes in the same body. It puts reincarnation to the blush. I sup pose she’ll bury us alh” Clawing shot her a sharp inves tigating glance, but replied suave ly: ‘Not necessarily. The same road is open to all of you.” Miss Goodrich bad never looked more the'fins and dignified repre sentative of her class as she lifted her candid eyes with an expression cf disdain. “My dear Lee! Really! There are some women above that sort oi thing.” "Above? I think I follow you. But of course she's given hidebound conservatism a pretty hard jolt.” "It’s not that— really. But all women growing old and trying to he or to look young again are rath er undignified— according to our standards at least, and I have been brought up in the belief that they are the highest In the world. And then, one's sense of humor ! •‘Humor! Is that what you call It?” (Damn all women for cats, the best of them. Anne!) •‘Why yes, isn't it rather absurd —lor more reasons than one? To my mind it is the complete farce. She has regained the appearance— and—possibly—the real feeling of youth, with all Its capacity for en thusiasm and unworn emotions—it mar be- certalnlly the interior should be in some degree a match, for that marvelously restored face and body-but the whole thing Is an “ eXical by the fact that she else does youth in .amen really “ "Experience has fault me that It means quite a “ un #° f things.

And an gry as he was, it amused him to hear Anne’s little gasp of pleasure. “Yes, doesn’t she?" Miss Law rence blew a ring and smiled sweetly. ‘T’ve.always been jealous of Anne. She’s such a beautiful height I’m so glad the giraffes of the last generation seem to have died out. Too bad, when Madame Zattiany, rejuvenated herself, she didn’t slice off a few inches. She dwarfs'even -men of your height, although, o£ course, you are really taller. But then tall women ’’ She shrugged her shoulders, her crisp voice softened and she went on as if thinking aloud. “Do you know ... to me she does not look young at all. 1 have a fancy she’s hypnotized every one but myself. I seem to see an old wo man with a colossal will. . . , But Fd like to know the name of that whitewash she uses. It may come in handy some day. Not for another ten years, though. Oh, Lee 1 ! it's good to be really young and not have to be flattened out on a table under broiling X-Rays and have your poor old feminine de partment cranked up. ... 1 wonder just how adventurous men are ?” But Clavering, although seething, merely smiled. He knew himself to be like the man who has had a virulent attack of smallpox and is 'immune for the rest of bis life.' Nevertheless, he would cheerfully have twisted her peck. She was holding that slim lily like throat up for his inspection, a cigarette between her thin ’‘starlet lips as she looked at him over her shoul der. At sixteen she could not have been more outwardly unblemished, and she emanated a heady essence. Her long green eyes met his keen satiric ones with melting languor. But she said unexpectedly: “I hear she's going to marry Mr. Osborne,’ mother’s old beau —or is that Mr. Dinwiddle? How can one straighten out those old-timers? But ft would be quite appropriate, it she must'marry— and 1 suppose she’s dying to; but I notice she hasn't asked either of them to night. I Suppose it makes her feel younger-to surround herself with young people. It certainly makes me feel frightfully young 1 mean she does.” "Do you think it good manners to discuss ybui hostess at her own table?” "Oh, manners! You’ll always be a Southerner, Lee. New York has always prided Itself on its bad manners. That is the real source of our strength.” "Pretty poor prop. It seems to me a sign of congenital weakness.” "Oh, we never defend ourselves. By the way, I hear Jim Oglethorpe rushed poor little Janet off to Egypt because he found her In your rooms and you refused to_ marry her. You’re not such a gal-** lant Southerner, after all ” "What a lie! Who on earth started such a yarn?” But he turned cold, and his hand shook a little as he raised hi? wine glass. “It’s Ml over town, and people think you really ought to marry her. Os course those ridiculous little flappers don’t care whether they are talked about or not, but their families do. I hear that old Mrs. Oglethorpe 1b quite ill over the scandal, and she always swore by you.” "Mrs. Oglethorpe, I happen to know, as I dined there last night; wap never better and is delighted with the idea that ,Jim has taken Janet abroad to get her away from that rotten crowd." She looked nonplussed, but re turned to the charge. “How sto ries, do get about! They even say that he horsewhipped you " “Pray don’t overtax your powers of invention.* You know there’s no suflh story going about or every body here would have cut me dead. Try another tack.” (To Be Continued), EDWARDS CHUD IS Young Boy Fataly Burned Thursday Succumbed ,to In juries Late Friday • Willard Philip Edwards, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. T. W.

The school made a fine showing last Sunday both in- the number preesnt and 60 cents out of ettery dollar you spend for coal goes up the chimney! f Government experiments have proved t S \ that the ordinary under-draft stove wastes g,l L W about 60 per cent of the heat value of the V// 1 fuel, in soot, smoke and gases, which escape up the chimney. w And it has been proved in thousands of homes that Cole’s Hot Blast Heater, by stop ping this fuel waste, saves one-third to one half in fuel Cole’s Original Hot Blast Heaters Cole’s Hot Blast burns your fuel twice. First it burns the soot, gases and smoke, by mixing them with superheated air and driving them back upon the fire, where they are completely consumed. Then it burns bed of clean coke which is left after the fuel gases have been extracted. There are other important advantages which mean much to every woman. Cole’s Hot Blast Heater means a cleaner home, because there is no spilling of coal and ' ashes on the carpet. You pour the coal in at the top of the stove instead of throwing it in at the side. And , the ashes are removed without spilling. Only one-half the ashes to remove. You can sleep later every morning, toe, because this heater holds fire all night and there is no fire to build in the morning. Just open the draft. This stove will actually hold fire from Saturday night to Monday morning. ’ - ’ This stove burns any fuel—hard or soft coal, coke or wood—with the same saving, and the most steady, even heat you ever saw.
