H ERE is some lover’s glorification, the song of his ensnare- ment, his “Beats Mea Domina,’’ in praise of his sweet heart’s hair. I do not even know who wrote it. It was sent to me. Lovers have always longed and yearned over the skeins of silk on the heads of the women they loved. Sometimes her hair is short, gvpsy-dark, tangled in curls, metallic and crisp. Sometimes it is brown and fine and long and sleek. Sometimes it is velvet-black and Indian-straight, shad owy as a night-cloud and dusty-fine to the touch. Sometimes it is red, glittering hair by hair in the snn, plenteous, stiff to touch, thick and deeply waved. Sometimes it is deep-gold, like an autumn leaf, heavy and silky and ripply. Sometimes it is pale-gold, fine as thistle-down, like a veil of sunshine, spreading nude and generous when shaken out, but crushing to nothing in the hands. Whatever of these sorts it is, some lover twists in its sure snare and sends up his praiseful chant. Here I think it must have been the deep-gold sort, heavy and silky and ripply, and colored like an autumn leaf: Listen: S HE braids it in two heavy braids That reach the carpet nigh, And winds them crosswise, nape to crown. To cross again and then come down, And cross again on high. I watch with joy that never fades; A fortunate man am I. “She twists it from a silken twist Into a coil instead; Each side rests against her ear; Its weight is on her collar clear, Heavy it seems as lead; A rope thick as her good wrist, She fastens it to Her head. "To styles not blind, „ She can not bind, as other women do, That scented mass, that smells of wheat, And lavender and apples sweet. She plies the great combs through, More lovely than all maiden kind, A woman twenty T” By MRS. FRANK LEARNED. Author of “The Etiquette of New York To-day ” T HERE arc many aorta of intro ductions, the ceremonious and the unceremonious, the pre meditated and unpremeditated intro ductions, but under all circumstances there Is one rule to be remembered, and it is that indiscriminate intro ductions should not be made. There should be some knowledge on the part of anyone making an introduction that It will be agreeable to the per son® concerned. Discretion and good I- * I heard a young mother talking to her little son about his teeth—tell ing him howimportant it is that the teeth be kept clean. “’if you want to be a big, strong boy,” she said, “and then a big, strong man, you roust have good teeth. And to keep your teeth sound you must remember now, while you are a little boy, to brush them twice every day.” The young mother told mo that the youngster liked the taste ot Ribbon Dental Cream and that thia had helped her in Inducing him to form the im portant daily habit. Of aourse, she talked with him about it now and then to impress on him the great advantage to his health and comfort that comes with this daily care. “Then twice a year,” she added. “1 have the dentist look him over.” You too should use COLGATE'S RIBBON OENTftC. CREAM Judgment must be used In deciding the question of Introducing people or the propriety of not doing so. The general rule to be remembered is that when an introduction Is pre meditated the wishes of both persons should be consulted. A man should not be Introduced to a woman when the introduction Is premeditated, un less her consent is asked. The cus tom is for a man to ask a friend In common to introduce him to a lady at any social gathering. It Is then proper for the person making the in troduction to say, unobtrusively, “May I introduce Mr. C.?” Thus a woman has the option of declining, but a request of the sort .is not re fused unless there is some very good reason for a refusal. The formula used in introducing is: "Miss B.. al low me to introduce Mr. C.” In a very informal introduction the men tion of the names is sufficient, thus, "Mr. C. t Miss B.” It will be observed that the positive rule of propriety Is that a man is Introduced to a woman, never the reverse. A hostess has much responsibility in bringing people together. It Is her duty to ascertain, for Instance, how a new acquaintance will be re ceived—whether it Is the wish of everyone concerned to know each oth er before she invites them to a lunch eon or a card party or any other small and intimate affair. Her own good nature in wishing that those whom she knows well should meet each other is not a sufficient cause for bringing them together. The general conditions of society should be know’n to a hostess. Even if enemies are introduced to each oth er, they can not let their hostess know of the mistake. An instance of the ignorance of a hostess as to con ditions and the distress caused by her lack of know ledge and experience was in the case of two persons whom she had included in dinner invitations and whose engagement had been broken off. Unfortunately, she sent them in to dinner together. Bravely they made the best of it, but at the close of the evening the girl's distant bow indi cated to the mAn that there could never be a renewal of former condi tions. At a dance or a general entertain ment a hostess has the privilege of introducing young people to each oth er, and she should see that shy peo ple are Introduced and that all have opportunities for enjoyment BEHIND CLOSED DOORS By ANNA KATHARINE GREEN One of the Greatest Mystery Stories Ever Written (Copyright, 1913, by Anna Katharine Green.) Tart Sauce. Two women who had not seen each other for many years met unexpectedly in the street. "How do you do?" exclaimed one, effusively. "Now, this is delightful." said the | older. "You haven’t seen me for eleven ! years and yet you know me at once! I can not have changed so dreadfully i in all that time It natters me!" "Oh, I recognised your bonnet," said I the first. . TO-DAY’S INSTALLMENT. Dr. Cameron's courtesy had by this time returned. He pushed forward a chair and invited his visitor to sit down. "I shall be happy to hear,” said he, and lent his full attention, while Gene vieve, turning with chill dignity, with drew into a window recess near by. "I am Julius Molesworth. If you do not remember me as your former class mate and fellow-practitioner, you prob ably will as one of the leading witnesses In an Inquest which has aroused consid erable attention of late." Dr. Cameron's countenance changed. For reasons that we know, he had taken a great Interest in this Inquest, al though he had said nothing about it to his wife "Pardon me," he replied. "I do recol lect. I read of the death of your af flanced wife with the utmost sympathy, for *" "For she died upon the same night that you were married," broke In Dr. Molesworth, completing the other's sen tence. Dr. Cameron bowed. "It Is of Miss Farley and her unac countable death that I have first to speak," continued the Intruder calmly. "If you have read the proceedings, you know what the verdict was and what genefal credence was given me at the Inquest. You will therefore be surprised to hear that for some reason unknown to me the police authorities have seen fit to discredit the evidence given by me at that time, and that I stand before you now in the character of an accused man. with the prospect of arrest be fore me." A Conundrum. "I—am sure " Dr. Cameron stam mered, glancing with some embarrass ment at the tall and immovable figure of his wife, outlined against the faint yellow of the evening sky. "Do not think yo.u must express sur prise or sympathy," Interpolated Dr. Molesworth coldly; "I am Innocent. But." he continued, with less dignity but more fervor, "that has nothing to do with the fact that my prospects are ruined by this suspicion and my career at an end. Whether I am committed to trial or npt, my name must sufTer and my practice receive a shock from which It will be long in recovering. It is a great misfortune to me. I acknowl edge, but you may make It a less se rious one if you will." "I?" "It is a conundrum which I have pro pounded to you." he observed, In calm allusion to what he had before said. "As you seem to possess no key to It— M He paused and one would have said hs held his breath for a moment—*1 shall have to produce my own. I—" he paused. "Did your wife speak?" he suddenly asked, rising with every ap pearance of respect. T think not," returned the other somewhat haughtily. Dr Molesworth bowed and again sat down. "Excuse me," he cried and Dr. Cameron was sure he heard him sigh; "I would not wish to weary the lady." Then with recurrence to his businesslike tones, "I asserted that you could help me. It was not lightly said, for you are a bold man and an aml.\',ous one. "If a complicated and dangerous case were given you that demanded unusual measures, you would take thenr, I am sure. If that case belonged to another man and he were sick and disabled from attending to his duties, you would listen to his diagnosis and make your self acquainted with his theory of cure, and if it met with your approval, ac cept it as your own and treat that case with all the interest and attention which you would have bestowed upon It if the method of treatment had been your own." "I think so," returned the other, simply. "Well, such a case I have," pro ceeded Dr. Molesworth, with steady Impressiveness. "The patient Is Bridget Halloran; you have doubtless heard of her and how she has been given up by Drs. S. and B . But I am certain that she can be cured. That this line of treatment" (he looked toward the detective, who thereupon handed him a slip of paper) “will prove startlngly ef ficacious and give to the man bold and determined enough to use it an enviable notoriety." “Let me see," exclaimed the other, his professional interest aroused in spite of himself. The paper was handed to him, and the doctors’ two heads, so dissimilar in appearance and yet so like In their ex pression of intellectual superiority, came together over it. The consultation which followed will not Interest the reader. It was purely professional and had enough technical terms in it to awe me from any attempt to reproduce It. Enough that as they proceeded Dr. Cameron’s look of re serve and possible prejudice gave way to one of undisguised admiration, and he asked, without any tone of envy in his voice: "How did you come by this, Moles worth? It has the appearance of a positive discovery to me." "I got it by hard thought," was the other's reply. "I get nothing by intui tion, as you do. "So much the more credit to you,” ob served Dr. Cameron, folding up the pa per and putting it in his pocket. "And you will take the case?" "On the condition that if successful the entlTe credit shall be yours." A look hard to fathom flashed in the dark eye of Julius Molesworth for an Instant. It seemed as if he longed to hold out his hand; but he did not do it, and an instant's silence fell upon the group. "There seems to be no further reason for our remaining here," Dr. Moles worth at length observed. "I have fin ished my business, and,” tuning toward the detective, "am now at your serv ice." And yet he seemed in no hurry to go. As for Mr. Gryce, he showed no signs of having heard the doctor. His glance had fallen upon a strip of passementerie on Mrs. Cameron’s silken skirts. From his puckered brows it looked as though he were studying a problem. The detective tore his gaze from the strip of passementerie which had so en gaged his attention and followed him. The stern and solemn picture which they both carried away with them was that of a woman’s tall and rigid form stretched as it were on a cross against & sky, down which were slowly flutter ing the first flakes of a coming snow storm. Curiosity or Interest? T HAT evening there was a great boll in Was) mgton. and the woman who *hone the most re splendent and receb ed the most homage was our young brl. e, Genevieve Cam eron. Even her hu band, who had be gun to expect every .ing from her, was amazed. Words in wvich she was some times lacking came frt My from her lips, and the wit which in h*»r case took the place of knowledge, t ittered In all she said with Just enough keenness to fascinate. Her white hair made her conspicuous, and her beaming eyes and | dimpling mouth, amid whose smiles just the hltn of smothered feeling showed lt- ! self at times, caused the gaze which j fell upon her to linger till happy jeal ousy had laughingly whispered in her ear: "It is fortunate this is our last ball here, or I should soon be ordering cof fee and pistols for myself and some of these flerce-looklng ambassadors.” Mrs. General F approached her In the dressing room, and after looking at her with the greatest delight for a moment, exclaimed rapturously: "I never did see any one with such costumes as you wear. Who is your modiste? Tell me. that is a good girl.' The lady was elderly and her manner was caressing rather than impertinent, but Mrs. Cameron was much displeased, and showed it by the angry flush that crimsoned her brow and neck. Her words nevertheless were gracious, though she did not answer the other’s question. “I am really much obliged to you for your appreciation," she cried; "but I really can not give such a weighty se cret away so lightly. I have gnomes and fairies to do my work, and have sworn never to reveal their where abouts." Back to Mother. It was a trifling incident—almost too trifling to record—but it wearied her, and it 'was not long before she testified her wish to return home. In the early morning they started for New York. It had been Dr. Cameron’s intention to carry his wife direct to the home he had prepared for her. But their unex pected return made this inadvisable, and he accordingly took her to St. Nicholas place. She had not wished to go there, but she did not know how to make objection, so she said nothing, and by 6 o’clock of that same day she found herself In her mother’s arms. "My dearest!" was that mother’s grateful salutation as she turned her cold cheek formally to her daughter’s lips. “What a delightful surprise! And your father—how pleased he will be! But what an undutiful child you have been not to write to me! I don’t believe a word about the rheumatism which Dr. Cameron says is your sole excuse. You never had the rheumatism before you were married. You have simply been lazy or anxious to show your power over your good husband. He has writ ten quite regularly, good for nothing girl that you are!"
