Save for the | fact that he took both my hands in | | a his, any observer of our meeting would have thought that it was but a casual | one, instead of being a reunion after | a separation of a year. I had seen him as soon as I turned | the corner of Thirty-eighth street and | Sixth avenue. He stood in front of | the “ladies’ entrance” of the Toxing- | looking eagerly up and down. | | He was smoking one of the inevitable long black cigars which I always as- | sociate with Jack. As soon as he saw | me he threw it into the street. I felt an indefinable little thrill clutch my heart as he did it. In the brotherly and sisterly relation with which Jack and I had grown up his cigar was a | matter of course instead of courtesy. His throwing it away seemed in some subtle way forever to have destroved the old relationship. “Shal] we go directly to Broquin's""‘ he asked as he fell into step beside | me. “It is so early we shall be able to get our old table and have a good | talk while we eat.” “I should like that,” voice sounded unsteady. ing had upsec me strangely. I seemed to have stepped back years in my life. My marriage to Dicky, my life with him, my v love for him, seemed in some cu to belong to some other woman. I was again Margaret Spencer, going with my best | friend to the restaurant where we had ‘,‘ <0 often dined together. | And yet in some way I felt that| things were not the same as they used | to be. Jack was the same kindly brother T had always known, and yet there seemed in his manner a tinge of something different, T did not know what. I only knew tha I felt very nervous and unstrung. & “Are vou sure you feel perfectly well, Margaret?” Jack asked solici- tously as we turned the corner from | which we could plainly see the en- | trance to Broguin’s, with its window boxes of evergreens bidding deflance | to, the cold ouside. { “Yes, indeed; why?” I lifted my eves to his for the first time since T had first greeted him. i “Mighty Good of You.” i The look in his made me drop mine ' again quickly. Why, I could not ex- ! plain even to myself. “You look pale somehow, and your cves are strained as if you were ing over something? Are the more troublesome than usual this year?” “The pupi T Then hastily, as T Jack supposed me still married and teaching. no worse than usual yourself and your trip. to hear vour adventures.” The words were idle, foolish, but I could not stop to weigh them.

T haven’t since I dined here last with you “Really?” He caught my hand in his as we went through the door: “That was mighty good of you.” I had told him the truth. Broquin’s had always appealed to Jack and to me because it was quiet, offered exccl- lent cuisine and service, and had never succumbed to the cabaret dance craze which had taken possession of most bf the New York restaurants ¢/ music was that furnished by r good orchestra of six pieces. The musicians evidently held the un- usual view that their function was to provide a pleasant undertone to the table conversation, not to drown it. But Dicky liked the livelier places. He had never taken me to Broquin's; indeed, I never had heard him men- seen it + I was not brave enough REVELATIONSOF A WIFE GARRISON I told myself that I did not wish Jack to know I was married until after we had had this dinner to- gether. With my experience of Dicky’s jealousy, I had not much hope that Jack and I would ever dine to- gether in this fashion again. On the other hand, I had a strong aversion to removing my wedding ving for an hour or two. Besides being a silent falsehood, the act would seem almost an omen of evil. I am not generally superstitious, but some- thing made me dread doing it. However, I had to choose quickly I must either take off the rings or tell Jack at once that I was married. to do the latter. Taking my silver mesh bag from my muff, T opened it under the table, and, quickly stripping off my gloves, removed my rings, tucked them into a corner of the bag and put gloves and bag back in my muff. Jack, manlike, had noticed nothing. Now to keep the conversation in my own hands, so that Jack should sus- pect nothing until we had dined. Fashion Hints By May Manion 8879 With Basting Line and Added eam Allowance) Child's Coat, 6 mos., I year, 2 and 4 years. This is a coat that can be made either with a hood or with a collar, and the two treatments result in such entirely different effects that really there are two separate coats instead of one. Fun- damentally, it is just a plain little gar- ment with shoulder and under-arm seams only, but the sash or belt is arranged in a quite navel way. There can be lashes cut on indicated lines through which one or the other is passed, or straps arranged over the coat, and in either case the result is a most attractive one and the coat thoroughly smart and generally becoming. On the figure, it is made of diagonal cloth in shades of brown and is trimmed with champagne colored broadcloth. In the small front view, broadcloth is used with sash and hood lining of soft satin. For the 4 year size will be needed, 2%% yds. of material 36 in. wide, 2 yds. 44, 1% yds. 54 in. wide, with 11{ 'yds. 36 in. wide to trim as shown on the figure. The pattern No. 8879 is cut in sizes for 6 mos. or I year, 2 and 4 years. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of ten cents. | | Menu for Tomorrow Bi kfast Sliced Bananas Boiled Rice and Cream Fish Balis Corn Meal Muffiins | Cross is excellent.

There are. some clever situations in this show, very clever. Mention of the plot is irrevelent. It runs along smoothly and is replete with many good lines and happy situations. But the feature of the performance comes in the second act in . the way of effect. The scene is a well appointed country road house where the “Nearly ! Married” couple takes refuse from the storm. A few glass bottles dexter- ously placed in the roadside by the wily landlord brings all passing auto- mobiles suddenly to a halt. The effect of the unrushing cars, the sound of “blow-outs” make a realis- tic bit of stage-craft. Back to the actors: as previously hinted, Miss Herne and Mr. Cross are well cast.

Every day I spend among my fel- low men and women I am more im- pressed by the need of that injunc- tion. The voice is an arrant traitor. Un- less you have learned the very dif- ficult art of keeping it under control it will betray your secrets every time. For instance, I was explaining the way to get to a certain place to friend of mine. At each pau she said “Yes,” “I see,” ‘“Oh, ves, and all the other things that are proper to say in pauses in an explanation Her face shone with intelligence and understanding. If I had judged by her acquiescence and appearance alone, T would have thought that she understood me perfectly. But she could control what she said and how she looked, she couldn’t control her voice. It betrayed her. There was a note in it of complete incom- prehension. Finally I taxed her with this. She laughed and admitted it frankly. She Could Never Understand Directions “I never should have asked you the way,” she said, ‘for I never can un- derstand or remember ‘thé first turn to the right' and ‘the fourth house on the left,” and all that sort of thing. What I always do is to find out where to get off the car and then ask the way when I get off, and keep on asking until I find it. It's no good for me try to understand advance di- rections.” Another case of voice betrayal is ! fundamentally and unalterably who still remains cheap has put on a surface veneer of edu- cation.

She Couldn’t Stand the Accusing Voice A dear friend of mine who kept & ! boarding house once asked one of her a| | fered to { boarders to leave. ‘“My dear,” she ex- , plained to me afterwards, “I simply conldn’t stand being reproached by her for everything that didn’t go just s0."”" Oh, was she that kind?” I asked. “Somehow I can’t quite imagine her’ reproaching you.” “She never did in words," “but if the least thing wrong, there was an accusatory note in her voice that got on my nerves." 1 know what that is like, for I used to have a friend who frequently ¢ do errands for me. If, for some reason, the errand turned out to be a little more difficult than she expected, if, for instance, she had to g0 to a second store to match the worsted, she would tell me about it in an accusatory volce that set my teeth on edge. I soon decided to do my own errands. Look Out For the Traitor Voice The uncontrolled voice is the index both of the mood and of the char- acter. Watch your voice, to your voice. Don’'t let high pitched or too loud. Don’t, on the other hand, talk so low and in- distinctly that people have to make an effort to understand you. That's selfish. Learn to control your voice so that it won’t betray you or, better still, learn to control yourself so thatg you will have less to betray.
