He recalled it only as a spir- it face without the crimson of the lips or the flush that lingered beneath her eyes. After dinner when all of the passen- gers came up on deck for the usual badinage and glimpse of the setting sun Danvers paced slowly back and forth, back and forth. He was con- sclous only of the fact that as each person stepped out from the compan- fonway he was disappointed. Then she came and Danvers knew that he had been waiting for her. She cast a swift glance at him, then turned In the oppesite direction and paced slowly down the great length of deck. Danvers walted until she would have to pass him on the narrowest part of the deck.

She smiled, but it Was a far away smile. Danvers could only frown his dis- approval of her leaving him to his own reflections and a lonely walk on deck. The next morning she was more than ever reserved. A cool nod was all that greeted Damvers, and she seemed to have drawn completely within her shell. He knew that she was still unhappy. Her dark eyes were brooding, and her proud head drooped. “Five days and my breakfast is tasteless because a w suifle ” oman does not “Tomorrow we reach Fishguard— and I do not even know your name.® His eyes held her gaze and she col- ored. “It is scarcely worth while learning name merely for one day,” she i swered quickly. “But it 1s not for one day,” Danvers told her. are going—so that I may follow.” The girl caught a swift breath, then ; laughed unsteadily. She had never | before been wooed in 80 masterful a ! way. “But I am the follower.” A sparkle | of fire had kindled in her eyes. “A | career is just ahead of me, and I am | running after it.” She arose from the | table with a laugh and left him. Danvers’ teeth came together with a Jerk. A moment later he, too, left the dining saloon. His shoulders were ! braced and his step firm. He would ' not look again at the woman who had Tefused him her name. At least, hol ‘would try not to. When he went up to the writing TO0OM to get his mail off for Queens- town she was there writing. Danvers seated himself to wait for a desk. She was the first to finish writing, and he took the seat she had vacated. He did not look at her, but he knew that she was surprised and—yes, hurt. It was not easy to write letters when his whole mind was rushing aft- er the girl. He glanced down at the desk and began absently to trace the name left backward on the blotter. “Nida,” he read, and with the name | his memory shot back some months. Danvers did not at first realize that the name he had traced was that of the woman whose identity troubled him. Her face floated before him and | coupled itself with that name. Sud-! denly the story came to him. She ! was the famous dancer who had been | the innocent cause of a great soclety | scandal. Danvers remembered now having seen her picture in the western papers, ‘Without apparent reason he scratch- ed the name from the blotter and went in search of her. She was far up toward the bow of the boat standing in the full sweep of wind. Danvers went to her and stood | close beside her so that she could not escape, “Do you imagine for one instant that I would care any the less for you | because of that?' he asked without preface. P been trying to escape it for she sald with a catch in her volce. “It follows me everywhere. I am never going back to New York,” she added, “because I cannot stand it.” She looked far back where, acros® the great expanse of water, her own country beckoned her. Danvers saw the sorrow in her eyes. “Yes,” he sald in a low voice that seemed to turn the great ship about by the force of its appeal, “you will go back.” CHANGE WESTERN STYLES Chinese Women Now Dressing Their Hair Like Their Sisters of the Occident Since thc men of China have come ! generally to accept the new order of things in the celestial kingdom by re- | moving the traditional queue and ar- ranging their hair in a fashion as near the European style of parting it as its coarseness will permit, it is nat- ural that the women should follow.

' GRANDMA STILL KNITS BUT THE YARN TANGLES. “Sometimes,” said the strikingly handsome woman with the white hair, “I really wish 1 were my own grand- mother. It must have been so rest- fui to be a grandmother in her day. the styles in grandmothers have changed so greatly that I'm not in the least like the dear old lady in the black silk and real lace cap who used to sit placidly knitting by our fireside ‘when I was a little girl. I can see her now, in the summer time, too, in & retired corner of the porch of our old home. Usually Young’'s ‘Night Thoughts’ lay open on her violet- sprigged muslin lap. It is a lovely picture of quiet and repose to recall in these busy times. She didn't have to read Bergson and Ellen Key or any of the modern philosophers that I have ' | to gobble in large bites in order to keep up with my department in the A0, Woman's league. She wasn't burdened, | with a civic consclence. I, eithe; don’t suppose it would ever have oc- curred to her that it was her duty to | | leave her dinner half eaten and rush | down to the city council on a Mon- day night to throw the moral weight of her presence against the pgssage of a nefarious ordinance. “Oh, dear, there’s the telephone. Friday forenoon, did you say? Please ‘wait a moment until I consult my cal- endar. Yes, I can see you at ten. Please come promptly, as I have a committee meeting at 11. “That's a young woman who wants me to hear her paper on eugenics be- fore she reads it to the Mothers’ coun- cil in the settlement where she works. 1 wonder what my grandmother would have thought about eugenics? “Just excuse me a moment while I glance at these notes. Here's an in- vitation to the ball poudre the Had- salls are giving Wednesday of next week. I certainly must squeeze in a dancing lesson or two before then. Billy—that's my younger grandson, you know—told me the other night at the club hop that I was really rusty on the waltz and two-step. You see, I've done the new dances so much the last two years that I've rather neglected the old ones, and now that they're coming in again, I certain- 1y must brush up. I suppose I might take a private lesson early Monday afternoon before I go to the lecture on Chinese porcelain. That reminds me—I must refresh my memory on the comparative importance of the art of the successive dynasties. grandma, she wouldn’t have known | the difference between the Ming dy- nasty and a china teapot, and 1 be- licve it was a comfortable state of ignorance. “No, I can't rest much Thursday afternoon, because I'm one of the pa- ' tronesses at the play and the dansant | that Adelalde—that's my granddaugh- ter, you know—and the rest of her sorority are giving for the benefit of the Red Cross. But Saturday will be quite a free day. Just one short meeting in the morning, a musicale in the afternoon and the theater at night. I'll have the time to rest in the early morning, while the manicure is doing my nails. I always take that hour of the manicure’'s weekly visit to do a lot of quiet thinking. I sup- pose grandmother had all the time for thinking that she wished. “My head fairly buzzes with projects for the new vacation camp I'm get- ting up, the movement for introduc- ing household economics in work- men’s homes, that I'm pushing, and plans for all my other various boards and committees. The change of fash- fons is bothering me just now also, for all my frocks, nearly, are too nar- row gkirted for the present mode, though they were only made last au tumn. I'm trying to evolve a meth- od of making them fuller which won't | necessitate a complete remodeling. “How pleasant it must have been for . grandmother always to know that her waists were to be made surplice and her skirts plain gathered.

Write today fer ST. AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA EASY FOR THE DETECTIVE ! Knowledge of Human Nature and a Little Reasoning Led Him to tre Truth. Conspicuous on the end of the coun- ter in the little cigar shop was a brand new, highly ornate cigar lighter mad + of heavy bronze. It was the type which has a wire rod shesthed in a phial of alcohol, from which the ro 18 drawn to be dipped in a jet of fir So proud was the cigarmaker of the new fixture that he pointed it out to every customer with special courtesy. ‘While thus engaged one evening re- cently he was' borrified to discover that the wire rod with its beautiful bronze handle was missing. “It was here a moment since,” he | declared to a man who was waiting for a light. “Where can it be?”" “Tasy question to answer,” smiled the customer. “That little rod is out there on the pavement just outside the door. I have not seen it, but I know it is there.” “Sure enough, it is there,” ex- claimed the cigarmaker, rushing to recover his p-operty. “How did you know that?” “In my business, which happens to be that of a professional detective,” exclaimed the customer, “I find that & knowledge of the human inclination to do many trifling things unconscious- 1y is of value. In the present case | force of habit caused your last cus- tomer to throw away the cigar lighter after using it precisely as if it were a match. I.c did it without thinking.

A New Yorker writes the Times to protest against a habit he says met- ropolitan women have of knitting at concerts. Recently, he declares, he was obliged to sit near a knitter and turbed him. Here is a serious issue. One has seen & woman, returning from mar- ket, shelling her beans on the street car. There could be no objection to her plucking a holiday goose under the same circumstances, provided she didn’t scatter feathers on the floor. But knitting at a concert is differ- ent. A knitting needle obbligato to a harp selection might lack something of the ideal. One might better take a basket of corn to husk, or an arm- ful of stockings to darn.
