Yours—Arthur Hartley.” Hartley wemt over the lines with worching eheeks. Surely he had not ' deen 50 great a fool as to heap ingults fike these upon & possibly innocent woman! With a gesture of disgust he tore the letter into shreds and flung it inte the fire. Next morning he bought a ticket for the Adirondacks. Elsie Hartley was in one of her ra diant moods when the surrey drove up | end 11t her husband standing on the sidewslk before the “Inn.” A minute before she had believed | bim hundreds of miles away, tuggins at the pile of briefs he had declared | it imrossible for him to leave under a ! tisht, 1 they both laughed, and after 1o went up to her suite to brush itile, a8 it was almost the hour ner, wife's noncommittal attitude!

A fcw moments Jater ne hed!? (& T started toward the door. On the way out his eyes fell by accldent upcn a crumbpled sheet of closely written note paper. The writing was in his wife’s hand, unmistakably. He read with a suffocating heart: “Dear Charley: There was a time when I believed that I had- unfortu- nately given my beart to you, and that I should never be able to live happily away from you. But, thank heaven, the knowledze of my true feelings has come to me before it was too lute. I am sending this to you te stop you in New York. Do not come here, for if you do I shall decline evin to recog- nize you. and honorable ‘man, and in every way is far above the average. Should ho ever learn of my meanness, I fear that | it would be the end of everything for me. You see it has come to this that I fully realize now how deep and genu- ine is the feeling I have always had for him, notwithstanding this miser- able affair between us, It was, I as. sure you, entirely brought about by a fancy on my part that he was begin- ning to neglect me. I am repenting most keenly this ridiculous folly, and with the help of God I mean to be for- ever true and honorable. Don't try to discuade me, for I was never so trag- {cally determined in my life—E. H.” When Hartley looked up from the letter his eyes were blurred and ach- ing. Her only crime had been her weakness, and for that he himself was | doubtless in part responsible. He walked over to the mantel and deliberately struck a match, applying the flame to the crumpled sheet of paper. When it had fallen to black bits over the hearth he turned. For some reason he had not heard the door open softly, and the blood flamed over his face as he encountered his wife's eyes fixed full upon him. An awkward silence fell between them. Hartley passed an arm about her shoulders and bent swiftly to kiss Had she seen him destroy the letter, and did she know that he had read and knew it all? He would never have the answer to that question, but the warm touch of the lips she lifted to his carees solved all future problems for them both, (Copyright, by Daily Story Pub, Co.)

Mr, and Mrs. Field, friends of mother's, gave a dinner for us, Mrs. Harmon was ono of the guests. She looks much better in the evening gown than in her street suits; not nearly so frowey, and the rouge on her cheeks doesn’t show at night. 1 was appalled when mother introduced me to her, to rec- ognize Carls French triend. She is his cousin, but she has lived In Paris since she was a little girl. We had a lovely talk. She told me all about her recent visit to America and how good Carl had been in taking her about. I like her now that 1 know her. She says Carl was perfectly miser able over a girl he was in love with, who had gone abroad for the winter. She did not know the girl's name, I blushed furiously when she spoke of it That was Sunday. We have seen { Mrs. Ilormon several times since then, { I made mother promise to take mo home.

TRY A CHINESE TEA PARTY Form of Entertainment Something of a Noveity, but Not Really a Difficult Task. — “Giving & Chinese Tea Party in America,” is the title of an article i in Harper's Bazar, which begins as | follows: “Possibly no form of Chi- | nese entertainment at home is more ! popular than a ‘Chinese tea.' ‘Tiflin’ in the east is something not were- | 1y the natives, but foreigners, in China | and Japan cannot do without. Here | in America ‘tea’ served Chinese fash. fon becomes a pretty function to which | one cheerfully may bid one's friends, | The dishes for such an occasion are not so diflicuit to prepare as those of dinner or even luncheon, and the tear poy, or tray service, is very simple and most attractive. Chinese decora tions—lanterns, incense bowls, etc, and Chinese flowers—these are all : one needs to give the Oriental touch to the most commonplace of American rooms for this especial occasion. Chi | nese roses are always used on festive | occasions, and these are inconcelvably | beautiful. They are very decorative, ibelnl as large and as brilllant In | color as peonies.
