PAGE FOUR years best book by Americas besi l s Woman Writer \) (T) 'BILACK OXEN "4> XL (continued) Mary, being human, felt the pin pricks, but was glad on the whole to be t rid of them. Thoss first weeks of almost girlish pleasure in what was to her a novel society, bad vanished forever on the night of her dinner. Scornful and indif ferent she might be, but although they could not kill her youth, they drove home to her what she had guessed in the beginning, that the society and the companionship of young people fashionable young people, at least —were not for her. Their conversations, interests, shal low mental attitude to life, bored her. That curious brief period of mental rejuvenescence had been due to the novelty and excitement of being In love again, after long and arid years. And now, Judge Trent had told her that she would be free to leave in a fortnight. She had walked the three miles from Broad Street with a buoyant step, and she had vowed that never, not for any considera tion whatever, would she set foot in America again. Vienna was the city of her heart as well as of her future exploits. She would buy the old Zattiany palace from her wid owed niece in-law and make it the most famous rendevous in Europe. But of all this nothing to Clavering unt.l they were in the Dolomites. Sh? ring for her maid anil ex (hanged her tweed walking suit for n tea gown of violet velvet and snow white chiffon, with stockings i:n I slippers to match. She expect ed no One but it was always a de light to her to be exquisitely and becomingly dres ed. Even in the seclusion of her Hungarian estate she had arrayed herself as appro priately for outdoors, and as fas tidiously for the house, as if she had been under the critical eye of her world, for daintiness and lux ury were as Ingrained as ordinary cleanliness and refinement. During the war she had not rebelled at her hard and unremitting labors, but she hail often indulged in a fleeting regret for the frequent luxury of the hath, the soft caress of delicate underwear, for charming toilettes; end she had sometimes scowled at her white cotton stockings with a feeling of positive hatred. Judge Trent, while she was stilt in Austria, had sont her a check for forty thousand dollars. She had given half of it to relief organ izations in Vienna, and then gone to Paris and indulged in an orgy of clothes. She looked back upon that wholly feminine reversion, when she had avoided every one she had ever known, as one of the com pletely satisfactory episodes of her life. Even with uhrestored youth and beauty, and a soberer choice of costumes, she would still have ex perienced* a certain degree of ex cited pleasure in adorning herself. She had always liked the light freshness of chintz in her bedroom, ■esttffig luxury, to her boudoit', but here she had furnished no boudoir; her stay was to be short', and her bedroom was as large as two ordi nary rooms. She spent many hours in it, when its violet and white sim plicities appealed to her mood. To-, day it was redolent of the lilacs Ciavering had sent her, and through the open window’s came the singing of birds in the few trees still left in the old street. She loved comfort as much as she loved exercise, and after her careful toilette was finished and her maid had gone, she settled her self luxuriously in a deep chair be fore her desk and opened one of the drawers. The European mail had arrived yesterday and she had only glanced through half of it. But she must read all of those let ters today and answer some of them before the sailings on Satur day. The telephone on a little stand at • her elbow rang, and she took the receiver from its spreading violet skirts and raised it to her ear. As she had expected, it was Clavering. He told her that he had promised Gora Dwight the evening before to ask her permission to announce their engagement. For a moment she stared into the instrument. Then she said hur riedly, almost breathlessly: “No — I'd rather not. I hate the vulgarity of congratulations—publicity of my private affairs. I've always said that when one marries a second time the decent thing to do is to marry first and tell afterward." “But they guess it, you know." “That is quite different." It was Madame Zattiany who spoke now and her tones were deliberate and final. "Quite a different thing from being congratulated, and tormented by newspapers.” She dismissed the subject. "I shall be free tw r o weeks from today. What do you think of that?” Her voice was both gay and tender. "Judge Trent will see at once about engaging my stateroom. Don't tell me that that play of yours will prevent you from follow ing shortly after." “Not a bit of it. We shall only be gone two months, and even if Hogarth succeeds in placing it with his manager as he expects, it might be several months before rehears als," 666 is a Precsription prepared for Colds, Fever and Grippe It is the most speedy remedy we know, Preventins Pneumonia y "The telephone rang, and ... as she had expected, it was Claver ing.” “Then it all fits in quite charm ingly. You are coming to dinner tonight?” "Well, rather." \ "Mind you come early.l have many things to tell you.” "It’ll not be for that I’ll come early." Mary smiled and hung up the re ceiver. She would have to let him return to New York for a time — possibly. But herself, she would go on to Vienna. No doubt about that. She returned to her letters. Those that required answers she placed in a separate heap with a penciled note on the back, for she was neat and methodical; site even slit the envelopes with a paper-knife that was always at hand for the pur- i pose, and the envelopes were drop ed at once into the waste basket. The contents for th® most part were expected, and related to her work in Vienna, the disposition of moneys she had sent over, and the usual clamoring for more. But when she had read halfway through a long letter from Baroness Tauer sperg, in whose capable hands she had left the most important of her charities, she involuntarily stiff ened and sat forward a little. Several pages of her friend’s let ter were always devoted to busi ness, the rest to gossip. In return Mary enlivened her own letters with many of her American adven tures. although she had made no I (mention of Clavering. “I need not ask if you remember Hohenhauer,” continued Frat? von Tauersperg, “although, I suppose, like the rest it us, you saw nothing of him after the war. He was, as j you know, not in bad standing with the new Government, like the re actionary nobles, as he had always been a liberal in politics, and had a ; good record as a generous and just , landlord. But they did not have I intelligence enough to ask him to . be a member of the Cabinet, or to . send him to the Peace Conference, ; where he alone, of all Austrians, perhaps,* might have won some ad vantage for this wretched country. “The present Government*seems to have appreciated that initial mis- TOILET SETS In D'jer Kiss, Mary Garden and Many Other Lines NATHAN MURRAY Druggist 120 W.

That means, we think here, that he will soon have the whole thing in his hands. The first step he took was to pay a visit to Bavaria and have a conference with Count L„ and no doubt you will surmise what that means. He went incognito, however, and few people even here in Vienna know of that visit, much less the rest of Europe. Very shortly he goes to America, whether for reasons con nected with his sudden Interest in Bavaria, I have no means of know ing, but ostensibly because his New York lawyers demand his presence in regard to the large sum of mon ey he invested in the United States. The Government makes no objec tion to this journey, as you may im agine, for they know they can de pend on him to spend it in the cause of Austria—under his leader ship! Imagine what it will mean to have the income of several mil lion American dollars rolling in to be exchanged for Austrian kronen! Or the capital, iflhe thinks the end justifies it. “No doubt you will see him, for he always had the greatest respect for your opinion—was It not you w’ho advised him to sell out practi cally everything he possessed, ex cept the land in Galicia, and invest it in America? I have no doubt he will confide in you and ask your ad vice. You have a wonderful flair for politics, dear Marie, and you know what we all expect of you. Hurry, hurry and come back to us. We need you in a thousand ways. But what a rest that sojourn in the gay and brilliant and rich city of New York must have given you. It is both wonderful and saddening to read of the almost unbelievable contrast to our poor Vienna. But they are generous. The second check from your Vienna Fund came yesterday. Do leave the oeuvre in reliable and sympathetic hands, dear Marie, so that it may go on until —well, God only knows when.” (!'• Be Continued) With congress meeting Jan. 3 resolutions against swearing prove absolutely useless to most men.
