ILARY showed none ef t surprise that he felt at Celia's unusual request. But the thought eame to him, “T won- der if the queer child is go- ing to tell me her open secret at last and wants to brace herself for it.” He had made up his mind from the moment that he saw 0'Shea and Celia just now that if she didn't speak openly to him. he must speak openly to her. Jenkins was @ discreet person and had been years in his service, but to know that Celia, received young O'S8hea alone in his &bsence until 1 e’clock in the morning might prove too much for even his discretion. Jenkins brought the champagne in its little silver tub of cracked ice, and placed it by Hilary. “I thought you might like to wait a bit before I opened it, sir,” said he. “I'll open it myself, thanks,” re. turned Hilary. “You can go to bed Mrs. Fraser and I shall manage s. Good-night.” Jenkins, and He sald this as he was putting some cold capon and salad on her plate and selecting for her the whitest bits of celery. “I don't belleve I'm hungry, after all,” she said, feeling a sudden repul- * | sion at the sight of the food before her. “If you don’t mind, I'll just have the champagne. i “But I do mind,” laughed Hilary. “If you drink champagne without a bite of something I shall have a tipsy Celia to deal with.” “I wonder,” sald Cella, theughfully, “what I would be like . . . 8y ?"”" “Just as serene and more lofty than ever, in all probability,” returned Hil- ary, laughing agaln. “I don't know, d Celia, still im- mersed in conjecture. ‘‘There must be many Celias In_me besides the one I know. Perhaps if 1 were tipsy I should be quite a new Celia “I'm quite contented with this one,” Hilary assured her, “so, if you please, eat a bit of chicken and salad while I open the champagne.” She swallowed a few mouthfuls with difficulty, watching his dark, slender hands at their deft manipulation of the wired cork, with a distinet sense of pleasure. They were very different hands from those of Padraic, steely strong in their slightness, with round clear nalls, close trim and un- polished. Celia had a great sensitive- ness for hands, and she had often ‘wished that Padraic wouldn't have his nalls quite so elaborately manicured. His hands were not brown like Hil- ary’s, but pale, with blue veins traced here and there. A muslielan’'s hands; strong, too, but short of palm, and with long, rounded fingers ending nat- urally in points. These pointed tips had been somewhat blunted on his left hand, however, from his violin prac- His nalls were as shell-like as & ‘woman’s. j Padralc’s hands seemed quite per- fect when he was playing his violin, but they struck her as too beautifyl for every day. Hilary's, en the col trary, seemed at their best when they were doing all sorts of ordinary things, They were so quick and sure in their movements, and his fingers, in spite of their slenderness, were so strong. He had told her once that he could break her wrist merely by gripping it hard with his fingers. “‘Perhaps that comes from his sword practice,’” she thought now as she watched him. It was very soothing and restful to| be with him after Padraic's tumultu- ous presence. “But then,” she re. flected, “that is because he is only fond of me, and Padraic loves me." And she wondered if love eould be as kind as mere fondness. Certainly ne real father could be kinder to her than Hilary—or, say, no elder brother. Somehow Hilary did not seem to her as much like a father tonight as a brother. For some reason she couldn’t imagine a father opening champagne LOr DA, yci i y Now he was filling her glass, and saying: “I don’t belleve you've ever even tasted champagne before, have you? . . . Well, then, you must make a wish on your first glassful, She took a flnnrly sip, and coughed. . . . Hilary d her. “like a little cat over hot milk, she took another and another. liked t 001 tingle of it in her throat, and later its warm tingling in her veins. “It's very good,” she said. “Have you made a wish?” asked Hilary. “You mustn't tell any one what it is, you know. She wished that she wouldn't have fo leave Hilary forever if she decided to go away with Padraic.’ But realiz- ing that this was much like wishing that the impenetrable wall wouldn't resist the impact of the hresistible ball, she wished again, this time that she might soon find out whether she gs‘ved Padraic enough to go away with m. ‘When she had taken a few swallows of the dancing liquid thoughts began te dance, too. She felt a sudden longing to tell Hilary, who was only temperately fond of her, how intemperately Padralc loved her. At the same time she real- ized, In a rush, these past years because no other man had really loved her. This, however, she felt that she would rather die than tell Hilary, or, indeed, any one in the world. “You look ever so much better,” he ‘was saying. ‘“Now try to eat & more.” \ She made the effort obediently. He filled again her half emptied and watched her as she ate and nk, with great pleasure. “You eat as daintily as Amina with l’l;.lu of rice and her bodkin,” said. , Like a ghoul?” asked Celia, lifting her eyebrows in mock protest, and showing her fine little teeth in one of her rare laughs. ‘My simile wasn't very apt. I'll con- fess,” admitted Hilary. 'l should have said as daintily as the enchanted white cat. “So I like a cat now?” laughed Celia. again. Champagne was & mar- velous beverage, she thought. When- ever she was sad or dull in future she would take a glass of it. She couldn't recall when she had felt so lights hearted and At ease. ““Tell me a fairy tale while I fl}ilah," she said, before he could answer her :xst reproach. “I can't eat and talk, 8o he told her one of the belated tales that he had memorized from wney's translation, but she heard soarcely any of it. She was too pleas. antly occupied with her own thoughts. At first, when she had scarcely eaten anything, they had danced in an agreeable but slightly confused maze. Now they stood quietly before her, clear and luminous. She thought how, with each different person, she, tao, became a different person. With Padralc she had felt old and chilled: with Hilary she felt young, even childish. This was prob- ably because Hilary treated her as a child—but she liked his treating her in this way; it made her feel also warm and safe and {rresponsible. (Copyright. 1026, by Amelle Rives.) (Continued tomorrow.) Tutti Frutti. Chop three-fourths cupful each of figs, raisins and stoned dates and one and one-fourth cupfuls of nut meats; or put them through a coarse grinder. Add the juice of half a lemon, one fourth teaspoonful of salt, and the chopped rind of one-half an orange. Press into a shept about one inch thick, then put into a pan lined with oiled paper. Use a weight, if neces- sary, in order to get a firm cake. Cut in bars. This may be made into balls, and either balls or bars rolled in coco- nut or chopped nuts, or dipped in chocolate or sugar. e The combined ages of five women, all relatives and all living in_the same house in Billingsbrough, Eng- lar?, total 465 years. HOME Hooked rugs are enjoying an im- mensa popularity just now and are g:ndur by antique en- . idmade hooked rugs had their original and greatest o from 1840 to 1870. Rugs made during that period are now extremely valua- ble, and have been bought up by ‘col- lectors so readily that very few:are left on the market. £ 5ty Certain types of hooked rugs can be readily recognized as coming from: certain parts of the country. For in- stance, the rugs of Nova Scotia abound in scroll designs. The French Cana- dian women made wool yarn rugs. From New England came the shaggy clipped rugs, while those from sylvania were exceptionally heavy and closely worked. The rug shown is of rags, uncut and measures about 3 by 6 feet. The de- sign is naive and the coloys, once crudely bright, are now delightfully softened by age. Cream of Rice Soup. Cook one cupful of rice and one small onion in six cupfuls of cold water until the rice is tender. Press through a sieve and return to the water {n which they were cooked. Melt two tablespoonfuls of bhutter, add two tablespoonfuls of flour, one efip- ful of milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Boil for five minutes. Com- bine the mixture, add a little chopped parsley and serve. ne by one AMERICAS great cities have een captured by this flavor No Beating. 3 I have no patience with child beat- ‘ers. I hops inat the bad conscience that must waken each of them at about 2 o'clock In the morning may torture them into reforming, drive them into finding some other outlet for their bad passions than thrashing helpless children. I can understand the sudden snap- ping of a harassed mother’s control that remults in smacking a meddle- some child's hands, I can see how mother, untrained for her high task, sees no other way to get & small boy to stay out of the coal scuttle but a_spanking. A little ex- perience on both sides soon settles :hlt. Child beating is a different ng. A child is' told to come straight home after school and do the errands, bring the last-remembered needs from the grocers, take some collars to the laundry, or dad’s suit down to the pressers. He goes off to the ball fleld and comes home just as the family are sitting down to the table, In some homes he gets no supper, but a ‘good licking.” Mother has poured a long tale of woe into father's ear; something has to be done with this boy; he doesn’t mind a word that is said to him. The thing to do Is glve him a licking, so father takes a strap and beats his son. Now the very act of beating a child lets loose emotions undreamed of in the first idea—that of disciplining a child to teach him wisdom and under- standing of the ways of this world. “‘Well, his father was so put out he forgot himself. You known how men are.” Well, I know what men and women are when they beat children. That is why they must never, never do it. Never. There are other ways of training o child. If you stop to think a little you will find them and surely no sane person would beat a ¢child withdut thinking about it? And having thought about it he will not beat him. What would T do about the-boy who to, play ball .after school without permission? Give him per. mission. A growing lad has to play. It is part of his- education, an es- sentlal part of his life and he must not be cheated out of it. Arrange his program so that he has a time for errands and a time for play and you will find. that he keeps faith with you. Only an flitreated child or a subnormal one refuses to meet you half way when he sees you trying te help him. A lot of trouble about obedience lies in the fact that we: give the wrong kind of orders to the children. Study the child You are directing. One needs following up carefully and another can be left to himself. One needs urging to play and another needs to be guided in the selection of his sports and limited in them. Children are intelligent people liv- ing on a different plane of develop- ment than that upon which most of the adults work-out their days. That detracts nothing from their intelll- gence. Keep in touch with them. | Get them to wish to do what is wise and your battle {s won. Beat them and you lose your point and en danger their life’s happiness. (Copyright, 1926.) r.
