Th? woman crouching outside the door
listening heard a sudden blundering
movement —a rush nf feet across the
room, a clink of glasses and the sharp
Itush of a siphon, and clasped her hands
closer against her lean breast
Inside the room Barrington stood with
the glass In his hand, the sweat dripping
off his face: his knees were snaking; It
was more than he could bear. He was
a coward: he could not face it—not that—
not to be shut up forever In a prison
house of darkness. He set the glass to
his Ups—there was forgetfulness, at least
to be purchased here; purchased at a
price, to be sure—the price of self-re
spect.
His self-respect! He laughed aloud.
His seif - respect!
The woman outside the door trembled
at the laughter, there was th? ring of
madness in it. She glanced round her
fearfully over her shoulder into the shad
owy hall The silence that followed that
laughter seemed full of voice* The stairs
creaked stealthily as under the pressure
of some invisible fool From the kitchen
cam? the loud ticking of the white-faced
clock that, as she held her breath, whir
red and broke into the hour Twelve
o’clock, and al! the long hours nf the night
tn pass before she dare hope for help or
succor; they stretched out before her in
a far-reaching vista of terror, peopled h\
gra> shapes of fear, these hours of the
night shut up here alone with a half-mad
man
But th? laughter was not repeated;
allene? settled down Ilk? a pall on th?
Jonelv house Presentls sleep crept on
th? woman out of the ambush of her
fatigue. her limbs relaxed and she fell
aide ways, sprawling grotesquely across
th? mat So Anthony Barrington found
her when he opened the door in the dawn

He stood for a moment looking down at
her: then woke her. gentlx enough, and
told her to get off to bpd She went
limping and stiff after her hours in that
cramped position Iler brain was more
bewildered, her sight more blurred than
that of her master, who had been drink

As Barrington stumbled up the stairs
h? knew that, by all the laws of justice,
he should have been drunk. but he was
pot drunk It seemed to him that his
brain had never been clearer, his visions
mor? unblurred or distinct. It was as
though a veil had been drawn from the
face of life and he saw with a marvelous

kitchen?”
Afr«. Jones—‘‘No, Theodore. It’s washday you know,
and what you smell is the suds-steam from the wash
boiler.”
Anty Drudge— ‘‘Why don’t you use Feis-Naptha and do
away with the washboiler? Then there will he no

The Different Kind of Soap. That,
in a nutshell, is Fels-Naptha.
Different —because Fels-Naptha i s
more than a soap —it is a different way of
washing.
Different —because Fels-Naptha gets
the wash ready for the line in about half
the time of any other soap.
Different —because Fels-Naptha itself
does the work of loosening the dirt from
the fabric, which every’ other soap leave.s to
you to do with the washboard.
Different —because with Fels-Naptha
there s no backac he: no need for long
bending over the tub, as with other soaps.

(Posed by La Petit Adelaide and .1. J.
Hughes, of “The Winter Garden.")
By LA PETITE ADELAIDE
ITS difficult to get something really
new that will be a simple waltz or
two-step at the time.
Now that everybody’s doing it. almost
everything has been done, but the “hoop
dance" is really novel, and I am glad to
describe it for dancers, who enjoy a
new trick that would not be too diffi
cult with a little practice and by sim
plifying the steps.
Os course, It is not possible to trans
plant the dance as I do it on the stage,
directly to the drawing room, but ft can
be so modified that it would make a
very pretty feature for cotillons, fancy
dress balls and parties, where eccentric
dancing is expected.
As most society girls go in for fancy
dancing nowadays, some of these odd
dances appear at all balls The hoop
dance, which Is comparatively dignified
and sedate when you think of others we
have had. is especially adapted for the
ball room
I dance the hoop dance to a slow
waltz; the amateur should divide the
waltz off in eight bars, using from eight
to sixteen bars for each one of the steps
and features.
The hoop which we use is aluminum,
because it has to be very strong as well
as light. But this would not be neces
sary for the hall room dance, as some
of the features which require a strong
hoop can not he used, except by an ex
pert dancer.
Covered With Satin.
My hoop is covered with Jteavy satin
to match my gown My partner is in
evening dress and the biaek of tits
clothes and white frock make a good
contrast.
If this dance were to be used at a co
tillon as part of a cotillon, the hoops
could be of different colors and might
be arranged to match the girl's gown.
By simplifying the dance,(as I am going
to do for you. several couples could (lo
It at the same time: the hoops could be
of wood, the ordinary hoop used by
children at play. The hoop should be
big enough to go around two partners
and leave a foot of space between them.
To begin with, the partners advance
from opposite sides to the slow move
ment of a waltz At the end of the
fourth bar they should meet, the git!
having brought in the hoop, which the
man takes from her. holding it behind
him The hoop should be raised above
his head, and without touching each
other it is quite difficult for the ama
teur to do this, as the ordinary dancer
depends so largely upon ttjo guidance
of a partner to keep absolutely in step
It will help you to look right into
your partner's eyes, and also you must
be perfectly sure of how many bars yon
ate going to do together in this'way. At
the end of the sixteenth bar the man
turns the hoop forward and brings t
over his head and that of the girl, plac
ing the side of the hoop at her back and
bringing both of them into the circle.
They are now held in the ting, and
Ishe leans fa- back against the hoop, but
without holding on to it. He leans

( i TWAS reading the other day about
} a foreign princess that came
oVer here on one of our best
young steamers." said the Manicure
Lady. "There was an awful interest
ing story about her. It said that she
was one of the most beautiful young
women in the world, and then the story
went on to say that she thought the
American men were kind of coarse."
"I guess she was at least haft right."
said the Manicure Lady's friend, the
Head Barber. "Thetv was certainly
enough coarse work on their part this
morning. I shaved four of them this
morning and had to cut the hair of one
of them, and 1 didn't get a tip out of
the crowd. If that isn't coarse work
there ain’t no such animal, as the
farmer said when he looked at the
camel."

Continuing to waltz, but without

Another Motion.
Without losing step, the girl waltzes
around again, ’facing her partner,
swings the hoop over his head, so that
it catches them both around the waist,
both partners bending very far back
and continuing to waltz. This, of
course, is quite difficult, but an inex
perienced dancer would not have to
bend back so far. and the dance could
be very slow at this part.
After this, in my dance, I begin a
regular whirlwind, ending up by sitting
inside the hoop and being swung
around by my partner, who holds the
end of the hoop behind his neck, of
course, an especially constructed hoop
Is necessary and the trained dancer.
The amateur dance may end with
the two dancers inside of the hoop,
holding to it with their hands and
dancing rapidly In a circle while they
work their waV off the stage. The
minute you hold on to the sides of the
hoop the dance becomes very much
easier, and I suppose it would really be
better for the ordinary ball room danc
ers not to let go of the hoop until they
have a good deal of practice.

"Why?” asked the Manicure Lady.
"He ain't much of a provider up home.
George, but he's got as much brains as

"But you don't hear about a lot of

There is no way of forcing such a
