, i.te rhange of manner—“ Tony, come and
be an angel, and tell me what to say to
thi° fiend of a dressmaker.
The studio was full of mysterious
shadows The two silver lamps which
swing from the ceiling, their wicks float
ing in scented oil, served only to diffuse
the shadows, not to dispel them.
It was a magnificent room, finely pro
nortioned, so large that tn winter It took
, un fire s to warm it, two blazing fires
nt pine logs—for Anthony Barrington
i ove d sweet-smelling wood. Tonight, chill
and damp for all that it was August,
Barrington had lighted one. It burned
dull? with a sullen concentration, and no
ieap and play of lilac-tinged flame. Its
red glare fell crudely on the faces of Tony
Bavington and his wife.
She crouched In her favorite position
on the rug by his knee. He lay back
with his eyes fixed on the Are. His
brows puckered in a frown, and his hand
rested heavily and half-unconsciously t>n
his wife's shoulder. Edith's face was
turned in the direction of the fire also,
but here eyes were closed and her hands,
hidden in the folds of her soft draperies,
were tightly clenched.
Yet as she crouched there she was al
most happy. The renewal of her hue-,
band's tenderness enveloped her with a
sense of delicious completeness, and for
the moment the man -nstairs crouching
In the darkness of the cupboard was hard
ly a reality. She had pushed all contem
plation of the inevitable away from her,
and was content to sit there, living ou|
her woman's hour to its last moment.
Barrington himself seemed half asleep;
from time to time his hand moved gently
across the woman’s hair in a sort of me
chanical caress. Quietness and peace
brooded in the room.
Suddenly through this silence, shrill and
distinct, came the sound of a woman’s
cry.
Barrington started to his feet.
Mercy on us, what's the matter now?”
he cried, and made for- the door. With the
opening of the door the sound came again,
more distant this time.
“It sounds like a woman in hysterics."
Edith said. Fear was gripping at her
heart. The cry was a woman’s yet every
alarm which shook the house seemed to
her to be centered round one thing.
On the landing they met the butler,
white and scared looking.
"What’s all this noise about?”
"I hardly know, sir. VfctoVlne has had
a fright—thinks she saw something.”
Saw something! What kind of thing?”
"A mouse?” put in Edith, contempt
eusly
"No. my lady, a ghost.”

“A ghost!" The exclamation was shrill
and Edith’s.
'"What nonsense!" said Barrington,
sternly. He looked, not at the servant,
but at his wife. He saw that her face
was gray, and that she trembled violent
ly. ’W nat did she think she saw. and
where?”
"In my lady’s bed room," said the but
ler. "She was laying out my lady’s things.
She fancied she saw' something or some
one moving in the room—a white figure.
She called to it. and went into the dress
ing room, but it hid vanished.”
“Such courage was very unlike Vic
torine," said Edith, with tremulous con
tempt. "I can not imagine her chal
lenging a ghost.”
"She thought it w r as the housemaid,
my lady; but when she entered the bed
room there was no sign of any one or
anything, so she ran foolishly screaming
through the house.”
“This is a very remarkable story,” said
Barrington. «
Again the remark was addressed to the
servant and the look to his wife.
“S<y remarkable that I believe it to be
untrue,” said Edith. "Where is the fool
ish girl now?"
“In the housekeeper’s room. Os course,
it may be only her fancy. Then I feared
it might be a thief," the butler answered.
"Tut, tut!” said Barrington. "When
men set out to rob they do not choose
6 o'clock in the afternoon to invade a
lady’s bed room. Go downstairs and try
and see that better order is kept."
The servant turned and went down
stairs, with a distinct sense of injury
Barrington looked at his wife.
“You look frightened,” he said
“I am frightened."
She made a little movement toward
him. but he did not respond.
“Come. I thought you had more pluck
than that. Os what are you frightened—
of me or the ghost?”
Shaky Nerves.
Edith Barrington shivered.
“Os neither, really, I suppose; only it’s
all a little spooky and unpleasant."
“1 should certainly have thought you
beyond such fears." he asid. "Victorine
evidently suffers from a guilty conscience
That is why she fled from the ghost. I
suppose, for form's sake, we bad better
have another look around.”
They were at the boudoir door, and
Edith would have hung back, only her
husband was already halfway in the room
when he spoke, and she was forced to
follow him. Together 'hey made a round
of the room, and it seemed to her that
Barrington's search was perfunctory to a
degree. But she. with the daring of
desperation, even tried the door to the
dress closet.
“Locked?” asked Barrington "No one
could hide there, then AVell. every
thing seems serene, doesn't it? 1 am
afraid it was a spook."
“Victorine has the key of that.cupboard
—she keeps my keys. I expect the silly
girl saw a curtain waving in the wind,
and tried to terrify us all to death."
The dressing gong booming through the
house ca ised her to start violently, and
her husband turned to her.
“Your own nerves are not much to
boast of.” he said.
At that moment a knock interrupted
them. It was the housekeeper.
"1 have come to tell you that Victorine
is poorly, my lady,” she said. “I am
afraid she Is quite Incapable of performing
iter duties."
Edith frowned and said it was tiresome,
and was about to refuse the housekeep
er's timidly offered assistance, when Bar
rington forestalled her.
The Maid 111.
"Ah. yes. .Mrs. Marlowe, stay." he said,
with a heartiness of manner not habitual
to him. “Mrs Barrington is tired and
a little upset by this ridiculous fuss. I
believe she is afraid to he left alone in
this haunted room. I think I shall have
to question Victorine."
He laughed and left he room, with just
a passing word to his wife.
The progress of Edith’s toilet was a
continuous mental anguish. Barrington's
conduct left her vacillating between hope
and despair. Despair had the louder
voice. It -rled insistently that there was
something sinister in the calm with which
Barrington bad listened to the butler's},
story, something appallingly suspicious in
the careless manner in which he had gone
around the room “for form’s sake.”
Thanks to her maid's absence ami to
her own nervousness, the last gong sound
ed before she was really” ready to go
downstairs. She would have given the
world if she had dared to remain behind
even for a moment, hut at all limes her
husband was a stickler for punctuality,
and tonight delay would have been con
firmation of his doubts —if he had any
doubts.
As dinner progressed Mrs. Barrington
began to feel that it might be possible
he had none. Not for weeks had Tony
been so charming and irresponsible, so
full of quips and jests, of plans and
projects for the future. What seemed to
her somewhat promising was that he did
not ignore the alarm which had occurred.
He discussed laughingly the advisabil
ity of putting the matter into the hands
of the Society for Physical Research if
any further manifestations took place.
“Victorine may be clairvoyante," he
said, seriously. “She has all the charac
teristics of the type. It may prove an
intensely interesting, case. Edie. What
a pity she is in bed, or we might have
had her in and taken down her deposi
tion.”
“1 don't think there is much of the
clairvoyante about Victorine." said Edith,
and the matter dropped.

THE “FASCINATION POSE.”
Isy GABY DESTAS.
PART 11.
r|x HE American dances like the Tur
I key Trot and the Grizzly- Bear
which 1 have been introducing
in Europe are taking like wild tire over
here.
in the first place, they are new; they
are American, and they are so differ
ent from the old-time waltz. You can
make them different or "Oh! so differ
ent,” with the accent on the^exclama
tion. according to the way you dance
them.
Os course, on the stage one has to be i
sensational. No one would pay the
slightest attention if one merely
watzed around, especially in ordinary
clothes. When I am doing a simple
little step or dance I am much more
particular about having startling and
original costumes than when I am
dancing a sensational novelty, which is
sure to take without the aid of startling
gowns.
Oriental Dress.
With these American dances I think |
I have struck on a very happy combi
nation. A dress which is staid, to say
the least, and just the kind of thing
that one would wear in the street, with
a panel of satin in front and a “V”
shaped bodice. But if you look more
closely you will realize that it is not
quite as demure as it looks, for under
the panels of the front breadth the skirt
is arranged into a trouser effect which
enables me to kick and dance without
being hindered by my skirt. I think
this is rather original, just .like the
dances. Most artists who have clung to
the modern evening dress have their
skirts slit at the side, but that has been
done so much that my innovation'was
really m eessary.
The reason people are so crazy about
dancing the Tin-key Trot and the Griz
zly Boar is because of Ute syncopated
time—the alternate rocking of the body
and swinging of the feet. When the
cake-walk first came out, Paris went
mad about that, but the cake-walk is a
lonesome dance compared with the
Grizzly Bear. You can dance a cake
walk all by y ourself as a "pas seul," but
no one can dance the Grizzly Bear
without a partner.
The pictures illustrated here show
some of our steps and poses in the
new dance, of course. 1 don’t expect
ball iboin amateurs to copy them, for no
gild with a po tty party dress wants to
crouch down and half recline on the
floor, and, personally, I don’t enjoy it
myself on the stage, for after- each per
formance my frocks have to be freshly
cleaned and renovated, no matter how
immaculate th" stage hands keep the
; floor.
All the fancy dances which are
| founded on Spanish dances and, of
course, you know by this time that
the Turkey Trot and the Grizzly Bear
came front Spanish South America, via
San Francisco —Weil, all of these dances
are built up like the Spanish dances
of a certain measure of steps and then
a pause or even a full stop of the mu
sic; during this time the dancers hold
the last position of the dance. This
position is called a pose, and must be
graceful and attractive. Many of the
modern dancers make these poses gro
tesque. but I would not do such a
thing it is all very well for a pretty
woman to try to be funny, but no one
in the world is beautiful enough to do
NOT MEANT FOR AMATEURS.
grotesque things and keep her reputa
tion for grace and looks. Besides that,
J think grotesque dancing is inartis
tic. An artist can get very near the
ridiculous, or even vulgar, but the
moment she crosses the line she is no
longer an artist.
An Imitation.
| Now, in dancing the Grizzly Bear I
I give an imitation, but 1 hope it is an
l elegant version of the dancing bear
with arms up and knees bent as he
hops about. My partner faces me in
this and often we cross our arms as in
the picture and hop backward or for
ward ■or to the side, as we have ar
ranged, according to the music of the
dance.
Beginners think this is very easy,
but no two people can dance these
steps without a good deal of practice,
unless they are holding on to each
other. The hold is done by grasping
each other’s shoulders, or I grasp my
partner's shoulders while he takes me
around the waist with kneps bent as in
the picture. We hop and sway with
the music. This is the real Grizzly
Bear step, and I don’t see anything ob
jectionable to it. though of course one
can make it so if one wishes to.
After beginning the dance in this
way' we let go of each other, and hop
one in front of the other for four
steps, as shown in the illustration,
each dancer going in the opposite di
rection. only for two steps each, then
stopping and making the other two
steps back again, so that you land in
tile original position with the man
back of tlie girl. The pose for the end
of this measure is a backward flinging
of the girl over the extended arm of
the man behind her.
They now take hands, her right
hand being tn his right, and she being
(lose to him in the ordinary- dancing
position. He takes a quick step back,
she pirouettes or whirls away from
him at arm’s length. He pulls her
back again and they alternate back
ward and forward for -eight more
measures; the final pose ends with her
close to him looking into his eyes, in
what is called the "fascination pose”
of the waltz.
Suddenly each of the partners begins
to sway in opposite directions; the girl
sways the farthest, and he catches her
around the waist as if she were about
to lose ber balance. Turning her
around so that she faces the audience
with her back to him, they once more
begin to sway, she bending very low
and he catching her. At the end of the
eighth measure they are bo4h bent to
the floor, where they assume the nosi
tion illustrated.
Not for Amateurs.
But while this is a very- pretty part of
the dance, it requires almost acrobatic
skill and I shoul-dn't recommend it for
the amateur. In dancing these dances
fortunately one can leave out such
steps as are not appropriate for the
time and the place and adapt others to
one's purposes and one’s costume. That
last item is a very important one for
the girl, who will And that the modern
frock keeps her from being over-ath
letic or trying any gymnasium tricks in
the ball room.

HUSBAND, sed Ma the other nite,
you remember you & me was
speeking about littel Bobbie

I reemember, sed Pa. You yvatiled
me to git him a job down on the paper

on the idee, sed Pa. Weil, what is on
yure mind now?
I have thought of a other skeem. sed
Ma. You know that Mister Upton that
jest cairn here from San Francisco, he
is going to start a skool for jur

Wat? sed Pa, another skool for jur
nalists. It seems to me,, sed Pa, that
there is moar skools for jurnalists than
thare is jurnalists themselves. In she
good old day s, sed Pa, wen 1 was lern

went to a skool. I jest went into a
newspaper office & took the good with
the bad, mostly kicks & cuffs & other
well ment advice. I started at ten dol
lars a week, sed Pa, & every time biz
ness was bad & thay dident have the
munny to pay me thay used to stand
me off or fine me six dollars for miss

sed Pa. but I managed to git thru it

the only' way to lern to be a riter.
But this Mister Upton is a vary

Well, sed Pa, if his wife sed so it

are moastly knocks, if she gb/es him

stick to the thing I sed first. Speek

A Free Prescription That Does Its
Work Over Night—You Can Pre
pare It at Your Own Home.
"It s my- own discovery, and it takes
just one night to get such marvelous
results," answers .Miss Grace Benson,
when her friends ask her about the
marvelous change in the appearance of
her hands and arms. “You can do the
same thing if you will take my advioe. ’
she says. "I feel it my duty to tell
every woman what this wonderful pre
scription did for me. Just think of it!
It did all this in a night.
"It affords me a world of pleasure to
tell anyone else jpst how such remark
able results were brought about. I
give you; absolutely free, the identical
prescription which has removed every
defect from my hands and arms. You
can form no idea of the marvelous
change it will make In just one appli
cation. The prescription, which can, bo
prepared at your own home, is as fol
lows ;
“Go to any drug store and buy an
ounce bottle of Kulux Compound. Pour
the entire bottle of Kulux into a two
ounce bottle, and quarter ounce of
witch hazel and fill with water. Mix
this at home, then you know that it is
the genuine article. Apply night and
morning. The first application will as
tonish you. It makes the skin transpar
ent. removes all discolorations such as
tan. sun spots, freckles and coarse
pores, roughness and wrinkles, atwl. in
fact, every blemish the hands and arms
are heir to. It also produces a mar
velous effect on the neck and shoulders.
"If the neck is discolored from being
exposed to the sun or from wearing high
collars, this prescription will immedi
ately relieve that condition. No matter
how rough and ungainly the hands and
arms, or what abuses they have had
through hard work and exposure to
sun and wind, this prescription will
work a wonderful transformation in
twelve hours at the most. Thousands
of women are using this prescription
with just the same results as I have
had.”
