And they would no more wear their smartest clothes for the occasion than you would think of dressing up for the little tearoom at home. There are other Parlsians who dress in a much more striking manner —doubtless because they know that all the world comes to that place at that hour to see smart fashions—and they enjoy the thrill of being ob- served. And there are many Ameri- cans who advertise the skill and artistry of their dressmakers better than any paid mannikin could pos- sibly do it.

Doubtless they say to each other or to their syllables, in a language which we do not hear, “The stories we could tell!” Here is one, the word “hoax” for a practical joke, or any sportive trick or deception. Most people regard it as a dignified, legitimate term, not to be used in the same breath, for instance, with such an expression as ‘‘hocus po- which we know to be pure slang, as it is. The fact is, however, that the more dignified seeming *“hoa: gained its place in the dictionary not through any etymological derivation, that il has no legitimate right there, and that it has not even the standing of orig- inal slang, being merely the offspring of slang! For it is from the despised “hocus_poc that “*hoax’ came into being, being a corruption or contrac- tion of its first part! (Copyright. 1026.) Fl4 . . Down. . The figurative use of a word. .

You certeny can, and Im very glad to see that you feel that way about peeple who are less fortunate than you are, ma sed. And she gave me a cent to give him, and I gave it to him and we kepp on going, and pritty soon there was a fat lady playing a accordeon with her hat on one side, and I sed, Can I have a cent to give her, ma, I dont wunt to pa a single persin thats less fortunate than I am without giving them a cent. 5 All rite, well now we'll find out wether your charity reely begins at home of wether your ony bluffing, ma sed.

His body was almost numb and he thanked Providence for the jacket which was keeping him afloat.

Narcissus noir . . He awakened in a cabin with the faint, reminiscent scent of it in his nostrils, and looked about wonder- ingly. Recollection came in the next instant, to be followed by wonder. Had he dreamed—or had it really been Natalle into whose arms he had fallen? And if it hadn’t been she— no, he wasn't dreaming now. It was in the room—that subtle odor of black narcissus!” He was looking about him dubjous- 1y, coming slowly to the decision that he had not been seriously hurt by his exposure or his wild dive. Through the open porthole, as the ship rolled slightly, he caught sight of a blue horizon and a comparatively calm sea. Bound for New York—the last lap! He looked up suddenly. The door to his stateroom was opening slowly. cautiously. Jimmy fists clenched and he found strength returning. Was it Rogers? If it was, there was going to be a showdown. Then he fell back upon his pillow. speechless. In the doorway stood Natalie Crane! Words rushed to his lips—endear- ments which he had formed in long dreams; but he held them all back. “Natalie!” he cried. “At last!” He dldn’t know why he said that, but it came out. With a little flush, she_stepped inside. “I just peeked in to see that you were all right,” she said. " “That leap from the airplane—I knew it was yvou when you did it.

Her cameo-like jyofile was turned from hini, while she gazed out to sea. Jim- my felt his pulses pounding; he had not lied about his heart. He could hardly believe it all. Here she was, delicate and sweet and gentle, fragile and womanly—close enough for him to touch her, if he dared. Womanly—almost a little girl, slender and daintily clad in a mode that would be in place on the Bols, or Fifth avenue, this woman who could be a Valkyrie of the skies when he had needed her, whose nerves were steel and whose courage matched his own—for his sake. In the days that thought of Frances Lassiter grew into the dimnest of memories. There was Natalie, all day long, in the close inti- m of shipboard acquaintance. Rogers was there, too, wondering, perhaps, at the understanding be tween them. But Rogers could know nothing of it all. Jimmy knew. The man had never met Billy's sister; he had not seen her on the long trip. He could only wonder, and the thought pleased Jimmy so much that he put off the inevitable showdown between them. Natalie Natalie — narels- sus noir. Jimmy forgot, in the long, glorlously lazy sea days, that any- thing mattered beyond her. At last he had found her. The mate of the eagle and ndventurer; It was she who recflled him, as the big ship was nearing New York, to the task ahead. “You've got to win now, Jimmy," she told him. “Why?" he asked, his voice low. It was night. They stood at the rail, far forward, while a reeling moon behind the dizzy mainmast ca- reened drunkenly and sent showers of silver spray from the cleaving bows of the Faustania, kissing the million wave-tips with a Bacchanalian over- flow of affection. From the salon the faintest wisp of orchestra music drifted forward. “Why?" repeated Jimmy. She turned her pale face up to him. Her red lips quivered. “‘Because I want you to,” she said, her volce low. “Haven't 1 proved that?” He smiled gently. “And so, be- cause you want me to—I shall” he promised. “It’s going to be a neck- and-neck race from her on, though.” According to the Faustania's sched- ule, the ship was destined to arrive in New York early in the afternoon of the twenty-eighth day following Jimmy's departure. Rogers and he Were even now. Unless one or the other of them could get some ad- vantage in the last precious hours, they would arrive simultaneously. Jimmy knew that Rogers' miilions, on tap in New York, would do more on this last lap than they had else- where, and they had proved effective enough already. There was no ne- cessity, either, he knew, for one or the other of them to pass quarantine or customs. He had arranged that before leaving and he suspected that his rival had. Rogers, he told himself, had a powerful yacht. It was logical to suppose that he would use it and dis- embark from the Faustania near Mon- tauk Point. “Which is exactly what T'll do,” Jimmy decided. “Only it shan’t be on a vacht.” Ten minutes later a radio message was filed to New York, which Lieut. Ogden Graham, Naval Air Service, was requested to secure a power boat to take a passenger from the Faustania out to a seaplane which would be waiting off Montauk Point. Jimmy figured gleefully on a switt flight in Graham's plane, which would land him at the Battery, lower New York, before even Rogers’ yacht could be near there. And when a reply came back that night, he open- ed it anxiously. It read: “Message received. All set. You'll win, if it breaks my neck. Graham. He hurried to where Natalie awaited him in a deck chair on the lee side of the promenade and repeated the word. She looked up quietly, smiling a little, and the hand that he found pressed his gently. “There's only Austin Rogers' last play t3 watch for now,” she said. “Watch it, Jim.

And the mail s full of questions about the ceremony: Should it be an elaborate one? Will the young bride regret it in later life it she neglects this opportunity for a really gorgeous affair? Lots of the girls tell me that they themselves don’t want a big, smack- up party with all the trimmings, but their future lords and masters de mand it. One and all they want to know: “What's the best thing to do? Advise me as to which course will make me happier.” ‘Well, that's impossible. 1 can't tell all of you the same thing because you're of different temperaments and your ideas about weddings are very dissimllar. For instance, Pamela all her life has dreamed of a wonder wedding— white satin gown, shimmering train, impressive music, gorgeous flowers, admiring audience. To her marriage wouldn't seem the real thing unless it was preceded by the most gorgeous pageant in the world. And she should have her fling. Even though she may have to give up other things for it later on, she should indulge this fancy of hers. She's the kind of girl to whom that sort of wedding seems important and consequently it is worth the time and effort and money to_her. But Agnes is another matter: J hates the thought of a big affair. She longs to sneak off and get it over with, far away from a curious throng of spectators. Still, because her Roger wants a big show, she feels she ought to humor him. She hasn’t much money, and what little she has ought to go for the many necessary trousseau things. Still, she wants to do the right thing. She doesn't want to miss anything that {s important. It would be sheer folly for Agnes, in this frame of mind, to spend a lot of time and money on a big wedding. She wouldn't enjoy a minute of it and her mind would be filled with doubt and worry over financlal mat- ters. She'd continually be regretting the money she might have spent to make her home more beautiful. Nowadays girls don't expect their fathers to do the big thing. They don’t feel that it is fair to burden him with the expense of an enormous party and so they take some of that burden on themselves. Consequently, no man has a right to demand of his sweetheart that she shall have an elaborate wedding cere- mony. Agnes will look back on her wed ing as a big nuisance and an unneces- sary expense. Pamela will remember hers with a glow of happlness, forgetting all that it cost her. And you girls who are trying to decide just how vou will say the fatal words must decide what your real teelings are about a big affair. Is it worth the trouble to you? 1f so0, by all means go ahead. Otherwise, a quiet home ceremony is advisable. (Copyright, 1 PRt Meat Stuffed Tomatoes. Choose large, smooth tomatoes and cut a thin slice from the blossom end of each, which reserve.
