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.

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. To Be- Continued in Next Issue 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 Il- I'l ~ ‘1: ■ // mßw bM| IIHIpL WSsimw I tt-t, aßjjii > v WI K I MH Mbl H I ft / f sCBB Aral ® wpm PR 'jwKMK&a v a ■ [ b - ' & BL. 9MrW' ' wl 1 /I*-. .wl* v / /I k J • KghMSk R J w J r i .j THE DOLLY SISTERS AND MARTIN SROWN, OF "THE MERRY COUNTESS” COMPANY, IN TWO OF THE DANCES THAT ARE DESTINED TO BECOME POPULAR IN BALL ROOMS THIS WINTER. 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 sic store, at)d are in mo.-l of the albums of dance music.

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 Do You Know--- Hamburg, the first city to perceive the danger of the modern long hatpin, has provided its conductors with boxes of hatpin point-protectors. Ladies with unguarded hatpins may now choose be tween getting down from the car and giving the conductor an extra penny for a couple of the municipal point protectors. The deaths in Irish work houses during the past year included those of no fewer than seventeen centenarians One of these persons was stated to be 110 years and another 108 years of age. while two had reached 107 and three 106 years.

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. Up-to-Date Jokes "Sorry, Bill.

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.
