i-or'd it be 7 Was it he who was dream

,*re farce of his own imagining? Mr.
Brotherson was whistling in his room,
gaily and with ever increasing verve, and

v-jtliam Tell which had seemed to work

the floor stamped upon it.
•The man is too strong for me," he
cr ied ' His heart is granite; he meets

The Danger Moment.
r„r a day Sweetwater acknowledged
himself tn he mentally crushed, disillu
red and defeated. Then his spirits re
gained their poise. It would take a heavy
weight indeed to keep, them down per
manently
His opinion was not changed in re
gard to his neighbor's secret guilt. A
demeanor of this sort suggested bravado
, Tl , r than bravery to the ever-suspicious
detective. But he saw. very plainly by
thir time that he would have to employ
more subtle methods yet ere his hand
would touch the goal which so tantallz
inglv eluded him.
His work at the bench suffered that
week: he made two mistakes. But by
Saturday night he had satisfied himself
he had reached the point where he
would be justified in making use of Miss
i lalloner's letters. So he telephoned his
wishes to New York, and awaited the
promised developments with ah anxiety

Anfy Drudge Dries Miss Pretty
girl’s Tears.
Drudge— “ Why, what’s the matter, dear? What
are you crying about?”
A/i.ss Prettygirl— “Oh, my beautiful new waist is ruined
and it just makes me sick. That clumsy Will John
son upset a plate of refreshments on it last night at
the party, and spoiled all my fun.”
<4nty Drudge— “ And his, too, I’ll warrant. But dry your
eyes, dear. It was all an accident, no doubt,but you
feel so badly that you have to blame someone. Now
if you had only known of Fels-Naptha you could have
passed it off as a joke, enjoyed yourself and spared
Will an uncomfortable time. ” ,
There’s a right way and a wrong way
to do everything.
And there is a new way and an old
wa y to do almost every th in g.
The new way to wash clothes is the
Fels-Naptha way —in cool or lukewarm
water, no boiling, cither in winter or sum
mer, and little rubbing.
And the Fels-Naptha is the right way
as well —saves time, saves the back, saves
hiel, and the wash comes out cleaner,
sweeter, whiter.
It is up to you to choose between the
new and the old, the right and the wrong
way of doing your washing.
Simple directions for washing and
other household cleaning arc printed on
the inside of the red and green wrapper.
Brotherson’s being at home. Nothing
would have lured Sweetwater out for a
moment, though he had no reason to ex
pect that the .affair he was anticipating
would come off til! early evening
But it did. Late in the afternoon he
heard the expected steps go by his door—
a woman s step. But they w*ere not
alone. A man's accompanied them.
What man? Sweetwater hastened to
satisfy himself on this point by laying
his ear to the partition.
Instantlv the whole conversation be
came audible.
"An errand? Oh. yes. I have an errand!”
explained the evidently unwelcome In
truder. in her broken English. "This is
my brother Pierre. My name is Celeste
Ledru. I understand English ver well.
I have worked much in families. But he
understands nothing He is all French.
He accompanies me for—for the—what
you call it? les convenances. He knows
nothing of the beesiness."
Sweetwater In the darkness of his clos
et laughed In hfs gleeful appreciation.
"Great!" was his comment. "Just great!
She has thought of everything—or Mr.
Gryce has.”
Meanwhile, the girl was proceeding with
increased volubility.
"What is this beesiness. monsieur? I
have something to sell—so you Americans
speak. Something you will want much —
ver sacred, ver’ precious. A souvenir
from the tomb, monsieur. Wilu you give
len —no, that is too leetie—fifteen dollars
for it? It is worth —Oh, more, much
more to the true lover. Pierre, tu es
bete. Tiens-tu droit sur ta chaise. M.
Brotherson est un monsieur comme II
fact."
This adjuration, uttered in sharp repri
mand and with but little of the French
grace, may or may not have been under
stood by the unsympathetic man they
were meant to impress. But the name
which accompanied them—his own name,
never heard but once before in this
house, undoubtedly caused the silence
which almost reached the point of em
barrassment. before he broke it with the
harsh remark: .
"Your French may be good, but it does
not go with me. Yet it is more Intelligi
ble than your English. What do you
want here? What have you in that bag
you wish to open; and what do you mean
by the sentimental trash with which vim
offer it?"
“Ah. monsieur has not memory of
me." came in the sweetest tones of a
really seductive voice. "You astonish
me. monsieur. I thought you knew—
everybody else does—Oh. tout fe monde,
monsieur, that I was Miss Challoner's
malil near her when other people were
not near her the very day she died
A pause; then an angry exclamation
from some one. Sweetwater thought
from the brother, who may have misin
teri > 'ed some look or gesture on Broth
etpart. Brotherson himself would
to show surprise in any such
noisy way.

New Dances to Succeed the Turkey Trot §3
rrAHERE is a difference between the
dances of last year and those
which will be popular this com
ing season.
Last year to dance well you had only
to imitate some one else.
This year, to be a successful dancer
in the drawing room as on the stage,
you must have imagination and origi
nality.
As far as the stage goes, the turkey
trot and similar dances are a thing of
the past, and nothing is so completely
dead as a thing that is passed in the
theatrical world.
The dances which we do could be
transported to the drawing room with
out any difficulty at all. There Is noth
ing suggestive about them, and, except
in a few cases, the acrobatic features
could be eliminated without detracting
from the dance.
My first dance, and 1 speak as the
elder sister, being fifteen minutes older
than Rose, is a dance of flirtation and
coquetry; almost any good dancer could
arrange it by simplifying it a little and
make a very pretty drawing room dance
of it.
It is danced to waltz time and the

two partners, while keeping in perfect
rhythm, do not clasp hands until the
very end of the dance.
Now, when two amateurs start out io
do a dance of this sort, they ought to
think up a good little story, or a series
of incidents which they could drama
tize while dancing.
The story must be cut up in different
sections or incidents and each incident
must be fitted to a certain number of
bars of music. We are using the beau
tiful Strauss waltzes and other Strauss
numbers, which can be had at any mu

YOUR MOTHER IS UNREASONABLE '
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young man 24 years old. I
and am engaged to a young lady of
sixteen. \Ve were to have been 1
married in Maj and she had all her
wedding trousseau ready. Her par- i
ents are willing, but my mother ob- 1
jects strenuously. 1 can not tell '
why she dislikes it so much, as the
girl is of a good family and very
pretty, with a real good education
My mother suffers intensely with
her heart and 1 fear if I marry so
much against her wishes, it will kill
her. E. K.
If your mother had objections to the
girl, It would be your duty to consider
them, but I gather her objections are
based on the fear of losing you. This
maternal selfishness is deplorable, and '
not uncommon. If "reasoning and pa
tience and coaxing fail to win her over. |
marry without tier consent. You owe II
to the girl.
THE MAN WAS RIGHT.
Dear Miss Fairfax;
I am a voung girl seventeen years
old and love a boy two years my
senior. I see him every day. but
have not yet received an Introduc
tion. The manner in which he act
ed, it seemed as if he eared for me
also, but at a ball 1 saw him, but
he did not come over to ask me to
dance with him I do not know
what this means because I deatlj
love him. HEARTBROKEN
It means thf man respects you so
much he deems an introduction neces
sary before asking you io dance with
I him
Don't expect or accept any attention*'

clans alone, your coquetry dance begins,
the man and girl ente.rlng from differ
ent sides of the stage.
1 am going to outline a simplifies
version of our dance, which could bi
followed out by two ordinary goon
dancers.
The main thing to remember is that
you must he abaold.ely certain of your
incidents and the action that Is to go
with them and exactly how long each
one is going to take.
Musical introduction.
Entrance to waltz step from opposite
side of the room, eight bars.
Meeting in the center of stage or
room with curtsy on the part of the
girl, salutation on the part of the ma.i.
eight bars.
Waltzing promenade side by sid.
both looking at each other, the girl
coquetting with the man. and he flirting
with her
He endeavors to catch her and she
leads him on. always managing to es
cape before he comes up to her. This
could be made Veyy pretty in a drawing
room or ball room, by waltzing around
different objects at the sides of the
room, such as chairs, pedestals, etc.
The way it is done depends entirely
upon the amount of space and dramatic
talent, as well as the grace and ability
of the dancers. Gestures and 1 facial ex
pression must suggest a violent flirta
tion.
The chase becomes wilder and wild
er. the dancers waltzing and turning,
w ith arms extended and swaying.
The man catches up with the girl,
puts his arm around her and tries to
kiss her; she bends back and puts her
hand before her face.
She escapes again, and the .same
thing is repeated. This time, after the
unsuccessful kiss, they waltz together
for eight bars; she, however, does not
hold him as in the ordinary waltz, but

The end of the dance can be either a
fast waltz together, or the girl once
more escaping from the man, and
waltzing quickly away from him.
A- very pretty step is one called
"Skating,” which must be done to two
four time instead of to the waltz meas
ure; a long glissade or skating step is
taken with the right foot, both part
ners facing in the same direction.
There i» a momentary balance with
the left foot up. a slight hop with the
right up, and the two-step is resumed,
with the next glissade on the left foot.

Daysey Mayme never stands in line.
Stepping ahead of all the women pres
ent, she said in the loud and lofty tones
of i hose to whom the high cost of liv
ing means nothing:
"Send me up two cheap little steaks.
Oh, about $3 each, if you have them. I
guess that kind will do."
The butcher’s eyes glistehed at such
an order, and the other women who
had been grumbling because soup bones
had advanced from nine cents to eleven
cents, stared in amaze.
Having made the desired Impression,
Daysey Mayme followed the butcher to
the back of the store, presumably to
see what he was going to cut off.
When they were out of earshot of the
others she said in a whisper: "I have
changed my mind about the steak.
Please send up five cents worth of
liver."
Then, with her nose held so high she
had to stand on tip-toe to powder it,
she walked out.
