Art seemed a safe topic: and 1
steered for the open, and spoke in a j
large way. out of my ignorance, of '<
Michelangelo's Influence, winding up i
presently with a suggestion that Miss
Pat should have her portrait painted.
This was a successful stroke, for we
all fell into a discussion of content'
porancous portrait painters about
whom Sister Margaret fortunately
knew something, but a cold chill went
down my back a moment later when
Miss l“at turned upon Rosalind and
asked her a direct question:
"Helen, what was the name of the
artist w lio did that miniature of your
mother?"
Sister Margaret swallowed a glass
of water, and 1 stooped to pick up tu>

room "l am afraid. 1 ant afraid to

He is well; quite well | shall have
news of him to-night."
She glanced across the room to
where Rosalind and Sisier Margars't
talked qui. tly together. 1 felt Miss
Pat s hand touch mine, and suddenly
there wore tears in her eyes
1 was wi\mg' l was most unjust in
#Yt
•r__,
what I said to you of her. She wt*a
all tenderness, ail gentleness when
she came in this morning” She fum
bled at her belt and held up a small
cluster of the sweet peas that Rosa
lind had brought from Red Gate.
“I told you so!” I said, trying to
laugh off her contrition. “What you
said to me is forgotten. Miss Pat.”
“And now when everything is set
tled, if she wants to marry Gillespie,
let her do it."
“But she won’t! Haven't I told you
that Helen shall never marry him?"
I had ordered a buckboard, and it
was now announced.
“Don't trouble to go upstairs. Aunt
Pat; I will bring your things for you.”
said Rosalind; and Miss Pgt turned
upon me with an air of satisfaction
and pride, as much as to sav: “You
see how devoted she is to me!"
I wish to acknowledge here my ob
ligations to Sister Margaret for giving
me the benefit of her care and re
sourcefulness on that difficult day.
There was no nice detail that she over
looked. no danger that she did not an
ticipate. She sat by Miss Pat on the
lor.g drive, while Rosalind and l chat
tered nonsense behind them. We were
so fortunate as to strike the first bat
talion. and saw it go into camp on a
bit of open prairie to await the arrival
of the artillery that followed. But at
no time did I lose sight of the odd
business that stiil lay ahead of me,
nor did 1 remember with any satis
faction how Helen, somewhere across
woodland and lake, chafed at the de
layed climax of her plot. The girl at
.ny side, lovely and gracious as she
was. struck me increasingly as but a
tame shadow of that other one, so like
and so unlike! 1 marveled that Miss
Pat had not seen it: and in a period
of silence on the drive home 1 think
Rosalind must have guessed my
thought; for 1 caught her regarding
me with a mischievous smile and she
said, as the others rather too generous
ly sought to ignore us:
"»ou can see now how different 1
am—how very different!"
When 1 left them at St. Agatha's
with an hour to spare before dinner.
Sister Margaret assured me with her
eyes that there was nothing to fear.
I was nervously pacing the long ter
race when 1 saw tny guests approach
ing 1 told the butler to order dinner
at once and went down to meet them.
Miss Pat declared that she never felt
better; and under the excitement of
the hour Sister Margaret's eyes
glowed brightly.
As we sat down in the screened cor
ner of the broad terrace, with the tirst
grave approach of twilight in the sky
Hint the curved trumpet of the young
moon hanging in the west, it might
have seemed to an onlooker that the
god* of chance had oddly ordered our
little company Mis* Patricia la white

TO PRESERVE A SILK SKIRT
Some Simple Precautions That Will
Mean Addition to Life of
Garment.
Now that taffeta petticoats are com
ing back again it is well to know how
to make them last as long as pos
sible.
Do not choose a silk that has much
dressing in it, as It cuts much more
quickly.
Do not have much shirring or tuck
ing as the effort to keep dust brushed
out is hard on the pettlcoaL
Do not fold in a chest or trunk as
the creases will cut quickly. Hang
by straps to the waist hand.
Have a silk skirt put on a narrow
band; pulling on a draw string, be
i sides giving greater bulk, cuts the
material.
One woman says her skirts wear
longer If she hangs them upside down
by loops placed on under side of
ruffle
Do not save your taffeta petticoats.
They will cut from hanging too long
in a closet, so you might as well have
the satisfaction of wearing them out.
Stuffed potatoes are made by mix
ing cheese and bread crumbs In with
the contents.
A few allspice are an improvement
to stews, thick soups and gravy. They
give almost the same flavor as If
wine had been added.
Plaster figures In hard or alabaster
finish are easily cleaned by dipping a
stiff toothbrush In gasoMne and scrub
bing into all the crevices.
If you have a black gown that needs
freshening, cleanse It thoroughly with
clear black coffee diluted with water
and containing a little ammonia.
After the weekly washing rub a lit
tle vinegar and spirits of camphor
over the hands. This will keep thw '
hands in good condition summer anti
winter.
Garments that are tfi be h,;ng out
to air can be put on Uawgers rather
than pinned to the line. Ibis p>
vents sagging or marking with the
clothespins.
Cleaning Lacs.
Pure alcohol can be uxed with won
derful success as a me^ns af clearing
black Spanish or chanUli? lace l"he
alcohol should be poured Tnto a ctban
basin and whipped with the hanA un
til it Is frothy, when the lace ukou.d
be dipped Into it and well vftrked
about with the fingers until tV dirt
is removed. After gently a-T-iaeiing
out the spirit the lace should b* laid
on a folded cloth, the patterned edge
fastened down with a pin. WVtn pen
fectly dry the lace should be uspinned
and pressed gently between the palms
of the hands until smooth lb lieu af
ironing It, as this would fU*ten the
pattern aud spoil the color
