THE GEORGIAN’S M AGA ZINE PAGE, “The Gates of Silence” By Meta Simmins, Author of'‘Hushed Up" TODAY’S INSTALLMENT. The woman crouching outside the door listening heard a sudden blundering movement —a rush of feet across the room, a clink of glasses and the sharp •fush ot a siphon, and clasped her hands tloser against her lean breast. Inside the room Barrington stood with the glass In his hand, the sweat dripping off his face; his knees were shaking; it was more than he could bear. He was a coward; he could not face it—not that— •iot to oe shut up forever in a prison house of darkness. He set the glass to his lips—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 self-respect! The woman outside the door trembled at the laughter; there was the 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 voices. The stairs creaked stealthily as under the pressure of some invisible foot. From the kitchen came 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 all the long hours of the night to pass before she dare hope for help or succor; they stretched out before her in a far-reaching vista of terror, peopled by graj’ shapes of fear, these hours of the night shut up here alone with a half-mad man. But the laughter was not repeated; silence settled down like a pall on the lonely house. Presently sleep crept on the woman out of the ambush of her fatigue: her limbs relaxed and she fell sideways, sprawling grotesquely across the mat. So Anthony Barrington found her when he opened the door in the dawn ing and came stumbling out. He stood for a moment looking down at her; then woke her, gently enough, and told her to get off to bed. She went limping and stiff after her hours In that cramped position. Her brain was more bewildered, her sight more blurred than that of her master, who had been drink ing during the night. As Barrington stumbled up the stairs he knew that, by all the laws of justice, he should have been drunk, but he was not drunk. It seemed to him that his brain had never been clearer, his visions more unblurred or distinct. It was as though a veil had been drawn from the face of life and he saw with a marvelous clearness the beauty of things as they were. There was apparently not only for getfulness at the command of the yellow Imp in the spirit decanter-—there was the gift of sight. It was raining heavily when Betty IJ '-SCS * "Vvl 1 A S2_X3Lil■■ ii fii iCm v^g^^w^lK.' l Anty Drudge Tells How to Prevent Washday Smells. /owes- “Holy smoke! Is some one burning glue in the kitchen?” Mrs. Jones —“No, Theodore. It’s washday you know, and what you smell is the sud«-eteun from the wash boiler. ” Anty Drudge — “Why don’t you use FoJs-Naptha and do away with the washboiler? Then there will be no steam to permeate the whole houseorery washday.” 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 Felt-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 leaves to you to do with the washboard. Different —because with Fels-Naptha there’s no backache: no need for long bending over the tub, as with other soaps. Different —because Fels-Naptha saves the clothes: (1) from weakening of the fibre by heat; (2) from the wear of hard rubbing. Different —be cause Fe 1 s-N apt h a actually does in cool or lukewarm water what the best other soaps will not do even in scalding hot water. F'ollow directions on the red and green wrapper, summer or winter. Lumsden came through the station gate at Kenworth and stood looking about her for the vehicle that Nanna, Barrington’s servant, had told her would meet her. It was windy also; as she stood on the step little gusts of rain dashed against her face. She put back her veil. It pleased her to feel the cool, damp breath of the wind against her hot cheeks. The driver of a ramshackle fly addressed her, touching his hat. "For the Chantrey, miss?” he asked, and Betty was conscious of a start. It was not so that she had been accustomed to be met on her visits to Barrington in the past. Her brother-in-law's servants had always been of the smartest. “Mrs. Galbraith said she hoped you would excuse it being a keb, but she’ll ex plain.” Betty thanked the man and got into the cab. As she leaned back in he ciR-ner she thought there would be much that Nanna Galbraith must explain. The old servant’s second letter had only reached her yesterday, to be followed later in the day by an urgent telegram that had re sulted in this journey. * Was it anything about Edjih? What had happened to Tony—what was this danger that threatened him? Nanna had been mysterious and incoherent, after the manner of the inexperienced letter writer. Poor Tony! Betty's lips twitched. What a dreadful blight had descended on them in the days that had followed the one mad hour of joy when love had come and kissed her on the lips under the trees by the riverside. In Betty's calendar all dated from that day—the news of Toby’s death had. come then —Edith had brought her news of Lavasseur's return into her life. Even in her thoughts she could not go through that record of horror again. She tried to forget—to occupy her eyes and her mind with the countryside that was visible through the rain-blurred windows of the cab. A Changed Man. The drive seemed interminable, and the house, as she approached It, struck on her with an air of intolerable depression, it looked so dark and dreary with those funereal sentinel trees. Betty felt a thrill of thankfulness at the first glimpse of Nanna's familiar face; the second showed her how changed the old woman was. There was a haunted look on the comely face, a furtive fear peeping from the blue eyes. "Ah. thank heaven, you’ve come, miss!” she said. Her old voice trembled. “No; the master's no idea you're coming; he —well, you mustn’t be took back by the master. He's a changed man. Miss Betty. His eyes have been troubling him, or something. He’s never been the same man since—since —” To Be Continued in Next Issue.

(Posed by La Petit Adelaide and J. J. Hughes, of "The Winter Garden.”) By LA PETITE ADELAIDE. IT’S difficult to get something really new that will be a simple waltz or two-step at the same 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 it 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 ball room dance, as some of the features which require a strong hoop can not be used, except by an ex pert dancer. Covered With Satin. My hoop is covered with heavy satin to match my gown. My partner is in evening dress and the black ot his 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 io do for you, several couples could do it at the same time: the hoops could be of wood, the ordinarj’ 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 girl having brought in the hoop, which the man takes from her, holding it behind him. The hoop should be raised above hfs 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 the 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 you are going to do together in this way. At the end of the sixteenth bar the man turns the hoop forward and brings it 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 ring, and she leans far back against the hoop, but wiUK><it holding on to it. He leans m x <? ■ak JL j / ~ ‘ <Y. A'4 >«*<*.-***' - / / '-Owl if II Second Position. 'against the hoop, holding it first with ' either hand. They dance eight bars in | this manner, and another eight in I slightly quickened tempo, the man hav ing let go of the hoop, so that they are whirling around, keeping the hoop in the air by pressing against it with their backs. How to Dance It. Another eight bars is danced with the hoop circling them around the neck; to keep the hoop firmly In place you have to press backward and it takes some practice before you can waltz this way, each one bending back, with the hoop around the neck Os course, if the stronger partner pulls In one direction, the weaker one has to follow, but this looks awkward, The Manicure Lady s By William F.

"Ther«» 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 I 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.” “I think them foreign princesses is awful interesting, George,” said the Manicure Lady.

Continuing to waltz, but without touching, the girl turns round inside the hoop. This brings her with her back to her partner, facing the rim of the hoop around her neck. She takes the hoop, swings clear of the man, raises it above her head, so that it . IMIL 4IT "fl/-'» s Wr>T i t B 9 < AfJ®* -WK?

This makes a very pret ty effect, and is not difficult if you have already gotten accustomed to the mod ern dances in which the girl dances in front of the man, so much of the time. Another Motion. Without losing step, the girl waltzes around 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 baek 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, w r ho holds the end of the hoop behind his neck. Os 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 way 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. He had a poem all wrote out in de fense of the American man. He showed it to the old gent first, and father gave it a kind of a knock by telling Wilfred to wait till he grew up to be a real man before he wrote poems about real men. The poor boy took it kind of hard, be cause I know’ he had his heart all set on going to the apartments where the princess is stopping, getting an au dience with her and reading the poem. "The poem was kind of punk at that. It went like this: “ ‘Fair princess from a foreign clime. To you I write this little rhyme. If I could meet you for a chat. To American men you’d lift your hat.'” "I guess it’s just as well that the princess didn't meet your brother,” said the Head Barber. "Why?" asked the Manicure Lady. "He ain't much of a provider up home, George, but he's got as much brains as a lot of barbers that I know." “But you don’t hear about a lot of barbers wanting to meet any princess,” said the Head Barber. "No," agreed the Manicure Lady, "I ain't heard nothing like that* lately.” Advice to the Lovelorn By Beatrice Fairfax PLAY TIT FOR TAT. Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been going with a certain young lady for about two and a half years. I went roller skating some time ago and expected to see her there. And naturally I expect ed to skate with her. When I got to the rink I found that she was skating with some young man whom 1 had never seen nor heard of before. She no more than rec ognized me and stayed with the young man all afternoon. I acted as if I didn’t care, and skated with another young lady most of the afternoon. I just received a letter from her telling what a nice fellow he is, PERPLEXED. Reply very courteously, and tell her what a nice young lady you skated with.
