The wnman crouching outside the door listening heard a sudden blundering movement —a rush of feet across the room, a clink of glasses and the sharp gush nf 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 shaking; 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 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 1t 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 nf some invisible foot. From the kitchen came ths 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 nf the night tn pass before she dare hope for help nr succor; they stretched out before her In a far-reaching vista nf terror, peopled by gray shapes of fear, these hours of the night shut up here alone with a half-mad man But the laughter was n«»t 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 Ro Anthony Barrington found her when he opened the door in the dawn ing and came stumbling nut He stood for a moment looking down at her; then woke her. gently enough, and fold her tn 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, be should have been drunk, but he was not drunk It seemed to him that his brain hj»d never been clearer, his visions more unblurred <»r 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.

Jonss “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 suds-steam from the wash boiler.” Anty Drudge—“ Why don’t you use Fels-Naptha and do away with the washboiler? Then there will be no steam to permeate the whole house every washday.” The Different Kind of Soap. That, in a nutshell, is Fels-Naptha. Different —because Fels-Naptha is more than a soap —it is a different way of washing. Different —because Fels-Naptha gets the wash read}' 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 wash boa rd. 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 Fels-Naptha actually does in cool *or lukewarm water what the best other soaps will not do even in scalding hot water.

(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 tiick 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. 1 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 he 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 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 biack of his clothes and white frock make a good contrast. If this dance w ere 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 girls gown By simplifying the dance, as 1 am going to do for you. several couples could do 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 Tn 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 his head, and without touching ea< h 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 light into your partner’s eyes, and also you must be perfectly sure of how many bars you ate going to do together In this way At the end of the sixteenth bar the man turns the hoop forward and Inlngs 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 ling, and she leans fa back against the hoop, but without holding on to it. He leans ■ * Hwk JL SSI ' X S 'US FC * Second Position. against the hoop, holding it first with either hand. They dance eight bars in this manner, and another eight in (■lightly 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 ft with their backs. How to Dance It. • Another eight bars is danced w ith the hoop circling them around the neck; to keep the hoop fljmly 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, e e The Manicure Lady @ /?v William F.

"Ther«. was clrtainiy 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.

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, that i’ 22 'BL **> Jwi i .■<■- * f i\V'jp r M S'B ■ First Position. makes a frame: the man standing be hind her, or I should say waltzing be hind her, holds the side of the hoop out and sixteen more bars are danced in this position. 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 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 quit.e 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. 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 heatt 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.

Unless you are engaged, you haven't the right to object, no matter whom she goes w ith, CONCEAL YOUR LOVE FROM HIM. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am eighteen and have known a young man for two years. I have been going out with him qaite a bit lately, and I love him very dearly. He is 21 years old. Can you give me advice on how to find out whether he loves me? HEARTBROKEN. There is no way of forcing such a condition if it does not exist. Neither is there any way of compelling an ad mission of love. The most effective plan is to conceal the state of your heart from him and feign indifference to the state of his heart. You sign yourself ‘'Heart broken.” Never for a moment let him know that your heart is even slightly involved.
