Mrs.i Spotswood and Clara took their

she went on. forgetting that a moment

i “dinner.” "tea or coffee?”
"Lemonade.” said Broadway, thinking
of the lilt of liquor she had added on the
previous night.
"I'll make it myself." she promised,
■ with a smile.
The judge had thoughts of going with
the women of his family, but Wallace
and Jackson persuaded him to stay for
the promised and expected visit of Pern
broki . They thought that they might,
need a lawyer when the trust magnate
heard that they would refuse his offer of
$1,500,000 for the Jones business.
A ‘'HOODOO” DESK.
\s it lacked but a. few moments of 11.
the hour tet which Pembroke was to come,
the men chatted together while Josie
went back to Iter desk ami looked over
somi correspondence there.
“The old gentleman had pretty good of
fices here," said Jackson.
"Yes." answered the judge, “seems
rather strange not to see him sitting at
that desk there. First, old Oscar Jones
sat there, and he died; then John sat
there, and he died; and then Andrew sat
there, and he died, and and now "
But the judge was not permitted to
finish by Jackson, who bad been seated at
the desk of his forebears. He sprang to
his feet.
“That’s the last time I'll ever sit there."
lannounced Jackson.
While ho was on his feet moving his
| chair a lit lie way off from the ill-omened
desk, Sammy came ifi.
"Mr. Pembroke and Mr. Leary to see
Mr. Jones." announced Sam, in the care
ful, real-office-boy manner he could adopt
when he chose.
"Tell them to come right in," ordered
Jones.
"Judge," asked Wallace, “did you ever
see a man refuse to take fifteen hundred
thousand dollars'.’"
"Not yet," said the Judge.
"Well, watch the professor," said Wal-
I lace, adding a moment later to Jones;
"Sit at the desk and look business-like.”
Broadway laughed shortly.
“in that chair?" he exclaimed. "Not
after what he said.”
Josie eame up to Jackson.
"Shall I go?" she asked, in a tone she
tried to make appear merely that of the
I secretary , the stenographer, the employee
to the employer.
Broadway was entirely alive to bls op

j was no gray in them now—Jtckson an

"Not for all the world." he said, softly.

Wallace “Wilson.” Broadway pushed for
ward the chair concerning which the
judge had made his remarks of the suc

Pembroke, however, preferred to stand.
The Consolidated official introduced his

Ik <ISS RHINE DAVIS blew into an
uptown office on one of the
rainiest and worst days that
the fall has provided New York with.
"I love the rain,” she announced to a
dripping assembly of rubber-coated ami
goloshed people, and then she blushed
quickly and prettily, because we all
looked so glum.
"I have been riding horseback in it all
the morning." she said, trying to evoke
some enthusiasm. No one said any
thing, and then she blushed again, this
time t<Y a deep crimson.
"Miss Davis, I’ve always been inter
ested in people who blush. Do you
know that you are blushing, and if you
do, why- are you? We’re not alarming,
though we are . . ing,” inquired the
interviewer, bent on getting informa
tion for the countless young girls who
ask how to cease from blushing and be
at rest from embarrassment.
"I never knew that I blushed until
just recently," said Miss Davis, and
this time the color that hud ebbed to a
soft pink flamed back into her cheeks
like a Killarney rose.
“I think it was really cruel of the
people to call my attention to it, for,
while I must have blushed all my life,
as long as I don’t think about it, it real
ly doesn’t matter, does it?
“I sympathize now with girls who are
teased about blushing by their family
and friends, for there’s nothing quite so
distressing as to feel tiiat you are rush
ing a signal of embarrassment to your
cheeks when you’re not embarrassed at
all. Os course, the very thought of such
a thing upsets me. and the only way I
can get over the habit is to totally ig
nore it.
A Great Beauty.
"Sometimes people say that one
blushes because one is very sensitive,
but I don’t think that’s true. Now.
I’m sensitive because my hair is red,
but 1 don’t blush when I think of that.”
And to illustrate the contrariness of
womankind. Miss Davis grew scarlet.
"There, I knew I'd do it; oh, what Is

The red hair she complains of. which
is a lovely burnished copper color, goes
with a very lovely snow-white skin
which is exceedingly thin and trans-

“Everybody- knows that the reason
the Irish and English girls have such
beautiful complexions is because they
love to go out in the mist and rain,

Its Benefits.
Buckets full of the aforesaid rain
were tumbling out of the sky, and x
neat little river was flowing from
every umbrella in the room, and still
this glowing young person continued
her dissertation on the benefits of rain
water.
“Now the real reason why women
hate the rain so much is because
they’re never quite prepared for it,"
continued Miss Davis. "Raincoats are
clumsy, but what difference does it
make? Another thing that few women
have is a real rain hat and the right
kind of boots. Walking isn’t a popular
pastime any- more even in good weath
er, because women will not wear the
proper kind of shoes.
“I walk a great deal and I always
wear high boots, even in summer, ex
cept in the house or for walking very
short distances. Pumps are impossi
ble to walk in; they ruin your fe6t and
it’s a mental effort to keep them on.
If you walk much in pumps you will
find that your ankles will get very
large. But girls don’t seem to care as
long as they can put forward a cun

And with tnis very wise remark pret

of the year affected them as little as it
did this vivid and beautiful girl, who
went out into the rain again as gayly
as a duck takes to water, and who
really likes it.

Dear Miss Fairfax;
I am seventeen and have loved a
young man almost four years my
senior for nearly two years. Last
year in May he told me he loved
me and we agreed to wait two or
three years until he would be able
to support a wife.
We have not told my mother of
this, but she seems to suspect it.
She says he lias lots of girls, and
that he receives letters each day
from a girl who must be madly in
love with him. for site writes sev
eral a day sometimes.
Do you think she just says this
so I will not think so much of him?
WORRIED.
I can not believe any mother would
stoop to such deceit.
You owe it to tier and to yourself to
tell her of your engagement with this
man. More than this, he owes it to you
to make it known. He is not doing you
justice in asking that it be concealed.

young man for several months who
is eight years my senior, and who
would like to marry me. But as 1
feel I could never be happy, as I
am not in love with him, I would

without hurting his feelings.

You make the situation harder for
both of yqu the longer you continue to

is no hope for him,-and tell it withou:

I The village, wise man was holdinu
1 forth on the subject of old sayings and
j how often they proved true.
"An' lookee ’ere," he weiw on. de
cisively, "there’s that saying, ‘united
we stand, divided we fall.’ Now, ain't
that true? It' applies to everythink
• equally. We can see just for ours.-lv. s
ow true it is. Everything obeys that
'law. whether hanitnate or hinanimat
ed."
He paused for the applause whic»
should have followed this display of
wisdom, but before it had come there
sounded a soft voice from a dark coi
ner:
"Humph!" it said, sceptically. “What
about a pair o'steps?"
