For she remembered Kendrick, who had carrled all her hopes, who still had her love. It was cruel. She wished Ahmed had never come. She wished and wished again that she had kept him at arm's length. His heart was breaking, she told herself, as surely as her own, She was holding herself against them all, but it was killing her as surely as that thing of which Dr. Lapierre had told her. Her thoughts BY HERBERT COREY. NEW YORK.—There's one nice thing about New York. No onme cares & hoot about you. It's as im- personal as ‘a prairle. People who like to have a fuss made over them may not like this, but there you are. This morning an old man walked down Madison avenue, clad in an overcoat, sandals, a black slouch hat and about $40 worth of tangled tresses. His halr was just about a StraW away from the birdnest stage. His eyes were too bright and blue to be those of a nut, he was & bit too well dressed to be a tramp and he wasn't selling anything. Some :ori of fakir, perhaps, down on his uck. He distinctly did not belong on Madison avenue, where from the latitude of the Plaza to 42d street the shop windows look like the Met- ropolitan Museum. A few gave him times. Yet—on the other hand—the day before thére had been a mildly fash- fonable wedding celebrated in a 5th avenue church.

One is that of banks. It looks as though each New must need a new set of money each ay. - Another is the apparent excess of small restaurants. The third is that of expensive fruit stores. Not long ago the one high-priced apple shop In town was a natlonal scandal Now the streets are filled with them. Which recalls Eddie Cantor's line. He says that he went Into Hoopses tha other day and bought five apples. “Two dollars and a half,” sald the clerk. Eddle pald. Then he handed clerk another dollar: “I stepped on a grape,” sald he. Just at the close of the matinas rain began falllng in bucketfuls. Dripping people fought unsuccess- fully for taxicabs. Traflic officers in shimmering oflskins shunted the roafing cars right and left. On the curb edge of the stream stood a negro. No umbrella, no overcoat, no vest. Boaked to his black skin. ‘His the went back to Kendrick. Now, as time went by, she thought more and more of him. It seemed impossible he should ever return; yet still hopa beat within her heart, and still she pe suaded herself that he would come back to seek Elise of the Rue Jacques Elise—and he would find La Laplerre had sald Elise would dle wwithin the year. God knew that La nlene was killing Elise surely and swiftly. She wondered what It would be like to dle, whether now she would wel- come death. Always at the back of her thoughts, even (n her maddest moments, she had that dreadful knowledge that it was but for a little while. Tomorrow: Av. a second look. No one looked three | » | .

She gets just the degree of heat she wents for canmng Can the kitchen be cool when the stove is hot? ‘OU have to have plenty of heat for cook- ing. But in hot weather you want the range going only when you are actually using it. What is equally important, you will find that the heat in a Florence Oil Range goes into the cooking, as the flame is close up under the cooking, and not into the metal of the stove or out into the room. Make this test: Go to a store where the Florence is sold—department, furniture, or hardware store. Ask the salesman to light it. When it is going full force, feel the metal of the stove; and notice how cool it is right beside the range. A blue gas-like flame To start the Florence Range, just touch a match to the the pot. You can regulate the heat to any degree and cook any dish that you canon a gas or coal range. The vapor from kerosene is what burns. It is not a wick flame, such as you see in the ordinary oil lamp. Kerosene is'a cheap fuel. A spotless kitchen With the Florence Range there is no soot, no ashes, no shaking or carryin, g of heavy fuel. The Florence itself is a beauty with its porce- lain enamel, black frame and nickel trimmings. The Florence oven, sold separately, is a marvel of ef- ficieney. The “baker’s arch” and patented heat distributor assure even cooking. A few minutes’ examination of the Florence Range will show Asbestos Kindler. In a few moments thereisanintensely your household.
