Their long t • :.dsh p. all these years of intimaiy. could not end like this. There was ~':i. tope for Sim. The situation was not as desperate as he feared. He r ight yet avert the shameful end of ‘ he s ide. Advancing toward her. he said in a hoarse whisper: “Oh. this is good of you. you've ou.<—this is the answer to tuy let ter” All ia ignored his extended hand and took a seat. Then, turning on ion siie exclaimed indignantly: 'Til* answer should be a horse w. ip. How dare you send me such a to-isage?" Drawing from her bag the letter received from him that evening, she demanded: “What do you expect to gain by this threat T” “Don't be angry. Alicia.” Underwood spoke soothingly, trying to conciliate her. Well he knew the - dur-Uv* power of his voice. Often re tad used it and not in vain, but to-tigfct it tell on cold, indifferent ears. "Don't call me by that name." she snapped l liderwood made no answer. He * -ffd slightly paler and. folding his arms, just looked at her. in silence. There was an awkward pause. At last she said: "1 hope you understand that every Tilings over between us. Our ac quaintance is at an end." *lly leelii.gs toward you can never change." replied Underwood earnest it “1 love you—I shall always love you." Alicia gave a tittle shrug of her sbo’jiiieis. expressive of utter indiher-! eace. “Love!" she exclaimed mockingly * You love no one but yourself. I nderwood advanced nearer to her and there was a tremor in his voice as he said: You have no right to say that. You remember what we once were. Whose fault is it that 1 am where I am to day* When you broke our engage m- nt and married old .teSries to grati fy your social ambition, you ruined my ’-lie. You didn't destroy mv love—you couldn't kill that You may forbid me everything—to see you—to speak to »<■:»—even to think of you. but 1 can never to-get that you are the only woman I ever cared for. If you had married me. 1 might have been a dif '■•rent man. And now. just when 1 * ant you most, yen deny me even your friendship. What have 1 done to de serve such treatment? is it fair? Is | it just?" A'icia had listened with growing im patience. it was only with difficulty that she contained herself. Now she interrupted him hotly: “I broke my engagement with you ! ‘.e-cauBu 1 found that you were deceiv ing me—just as you deceived others.” "It's a IK !" broke In Underwood. “1 may have trifled with others, but I , never deceived you." Alicia rose and, crossing the room, carelessly inspected one of the pic tures on the wall, a study of the nude by Bouguereau. "V. e need not go into that," she said haughtily "That is all over now. I came to ask you what this letter—this threat—means. What do you expect to gain by taking your life unless I continue to be your friend? How can I be a friend to a man like you? You know what your friendship for a wom an means. It means that you would drag her down to your own level and disgrace her as well as yourself. Thank God. my eyes are now opened to your true character. No self-re specting woman could afford to allow her name to be associated with yours You are as incapable of disinterested friendship as you are of common hon esty." Coldly she added: "1 hope you quite understand that henceforth my house is closed to you. If we happen to meet in public, it must be as stran gers.” Underwood did not speak. Words seemed to fail him. His face was set and white. A nervous twitching about ] the mouth showed the terrible mental strain which the man was under. In the excitement he had forgotten about Howard's presence on the divan be hind the screen. A listener might have detected the heavy breathing of the sleeper, but even Alicia herself was ’oo preoccupied to notice it. Under wood extended his arms pleadingly: “Alicia—for the sake of auld lang syneI" Auid lang syne.” she retorted. “I want to forget the past. The old mem ories are distasteful My only object in coming here to-night was to make the situation plain to you and to ask you to promise me not to—carry out your threat to kill yourself. Why should you kill yourself? Only cowards do that. Because you are in trouble? That is the coward's wav out. Leave New York Go where you are not known. You are still young. Begin life over again, somewhere else.” Ad vancing toward him. she went on: "If you will do this I will help you. I never want to see you again, but I'll try not to think of you utiKindlv. But you must promise me solemnly not to make any attempt against your life.” “I promise nothing,” muttered Un derwood doggedly. “But you must,” she insisted. "It would be a terrible crime, not only against yourself, but against others Y'ou must give me your word.” Underwood shook his head. “I promise nothing.” “But you must." persisted Alicia. “I won't stir from here until I have your promise." He looked at her curiously. “If my life has no interest for you, why should you care?” he asked There was a note of scorn in his voice which aroused his visitor's wrath. Crumpling up his letter in her hand, she confronted him angrily. "Shall I tell you why I care?” she cried. "Because you accuse me in this letter of being the cause of your death —I, who have been your friend in spite of your dishonesty. Oh! it’s des picable. contemptible! Above all, it's a lie—” Underwood shrugged his shoulders. Cynically he replied: “So it wasn't so much concern for me as for yourself that brought you here." Alicia's eyes flashed as she an swered: “Yes. I wished to spare myself this indignity, the shame of being asso ciated in any way with a suicide. I was afraid you meant what you said.” "Afraid.” interrupted Underwood bitterly, "that some of the scandal might reach as far as the aristocratic Mrs. Howard Jeffries, Sr.!” .tier iace nusnea witn anger. Alici* paced up and down the room. The man's taunts stung her to the quick. In a way. she felt that he was right. She ought to have guessed his charac ter long ago and had nothing to do with him. He seemed desperate enough to do anything, yet she doubt ed if he had the courage to kill him self. She thought she would try more conciliatory methods, so, stopping short, she said more gently: "You know my husband has suffered through the wretched marriage of his only son. You know how deeply we both feel this disgrace, and yet you would add—” Underwood laughed mockingly. “Why should 1 consider your hus band's feelings?’’ he cried. “He didn’t consider mine when he married you.” Suddenly bending forward, every nerve tense, he continued hoarsely: “Alicia. I tell you I’m desperate. I’m hemmed in on all sides by creditors. You know what your friendship—your patronage means? If you drop me now. your friends will follow—they're a lot of sheep led by you—and when my creditors hear of me they’ll be down on me like a flock of wolves. I'm not able to make a settlement Prison stares me in the face." Glancing around at the handsome furnishings, Alicia replied carelessly: “I’m not responsible for your wrong doing. I want to protect my friends if they are a lot of sheep, as you say. that is precisely why I should warn them. They have implicit confidence in me. You have borrowed their mon ey. cheated them at cards, stolen from them. Your acquaintance with me has given them the opportunity. But now I've found you out. I refuse any long er to sacrifice my friends, my self-re spect. my sense of decency." Angrily she continued: "You thought you could bluff me. You've adopted this cow ard’s way of forcing me to receive you against my will. Well, you've failed. I will not sanction your rob bing my friends. I will not allow you to sell them any more of your high priced rubbish, or permit you to cheat them at cards.” Underwood listened in silence. He stood motionless, watching her flushed face as she heaped reproaches on him She was practically pronouncing his death sentence, yet he could not help thinking how pretty she looked. When she had finished he said nothing, but, going to his desk, he opened a small drawer and took out a revolver. Alicia recoiled, frightened. “What are you going to do?" she Underwood smiled bitterly. “Oh. don't be afraid. I wouldn't do it while you are here. In spite of all you've said to me. I still think too much of you for that." Replacing the pistol in the drawer, he added: ' Alicia, if you desert me now. you'll be sorry to the day of your death." His visitor looked at him in silence. Then, contemptuously, she said: (TO BE CONTINUED.) Came as Pleasant Change Hand-Written Business Letter Ap pealed to the Man of Old Fashioned Ideas. "Yesterday.” said an old-fashioned man. "I received a handwritten letter, the first 1 had received in a long time, and do you know i was much im pressed by it? Much. "You know that for a long time now almost all business letters have been typewritten, dictated. With the vast multiplicity of letters to be written, we could no longer find time to write our letters by hand. That hand-writ ten letter that I got yesterday did please me. "There was a man who In answer to mine had sat down and actually writ ten me a letter, and there was a sense of personal attention in that that pleased me very much, and I think there might still be found profit in the handwritten letter. Many such letters that we used to get we couldn't read, or we deciphered only with much la bor; certainly the typewritten letter Is a great convenience and comfort, and still 1 do think that it would pay a business man occasionally to write a letter with his own hand. It would please his customer. 1 do believe, to receive such a letter that was obvi ously a personal communication. I know that such a letter pleased me.” Sameness. “There is a certain sameness about natural scenery,” said the man who looks bored. “Do you mean to compare a mag nificent mountain with the broad ex panse of the sea?" “Yes.

Children’s Hats FOR a girl somewhere above eight years the first hat is appropri ate. As hats go, it is quite a simple affair with a broad, round crown and drooping brim which turns up in front. It is of chip or straw braid in a natural color A big bow of ribbon spreads over the back with two hanging ends, and there is a full wreath of apple blossoms (those old-time favorites of childhood! about the crown. One of the most successful of chil dren’s hats, which might with equal propriety be classed as a bonnet, is shown in the second picture. It is made of a thin silk to which lace braid is applied. The crown is a pufl of the silk. The brim is made of three ruffles of the side-plaited silk over a single box-plaited ruffle edged with lace. Ribbon is laid in small loops about the crown and in a rosette of loops, finished with hanging ends, at the left 6iae. Little clusters of June roses are placed about the brim and in the center of the rosette. This is a soft and charming piece of milli nery art which may be made in any light colcr. to suit the individual taste. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. NEW STYLE FOR FOULARD A good many contrasts of coloring and actual pattern, too. are notable in the new foulards; an absolutely di verse design being often interwoven in the one length of material, while sev eral model gowns combine spotted foulard and plain twill silk or fine face cloth. So one has quite sufficient— and Parisian—precedent for bringing together the plain and spotted blue foulards, and. for further introducing ; —in the manner suggested by the sketch—graduated bands and flatly folded rosettes of black satin, a col lar of the finest lawn, and a little ; frilled band to match, being other accessories of the corsage.

HAIR MUST SUIT TOILETTE Notable Is the Revival of the •'Bang," a Fashion Which Is Not Received With Joy. Nowadays It is found convenient to change the style of hair dressing in or der that it may agree with this hat or that dress. There are some toilettes that would be bereft of their effect, and even be made to look absurd, if the hair were not arranged in keep ing. The curled fringe, called the “bang." has been revived. One reason for the Justifiable revival of the light-curled lovelocks that stray about the forehead is the immense popularity of the short center parting, which is just a little trying without their softening influence; and another is the reinstatement of the heavy plait or the twisted drapery of hair which is used to frame the chignon. When the plait weights the hair over the forehead the counteracting effect of a few gossamer-like tendrils of hair be low is requisite for the sake of ele gance. One of the coiffures of the moment illustrates the conical dressing that is becoming to the girl with a small face and mignon features. It is built up by means of a twisted drapery of hair which resembles a plait, and be ’ow it is a thick coil held in place by tortoise-shell prongs. The hair is care lessly ondule beneath, so that the ears are hidden, and there are a few stray lovelocks on the forehead. In another the plait is used as a corona! merely, and all the rest of the hair is curly except the childish-look ing straight fringe. Surah Twill Silk. Surah twill silk in solid color is a material which is claiming much fa vorable attention, says a fashion ex change, This is being used by the best model houses in Paris for making tailored suits and three-piece cos tumes, This new surah has a high luster surface and is used in exactly the same manner as satins have been so freely employed recently Surah is especially well adapted for summer use in America. It is durable, sufficiently dressy or a handsome suit, light weight, and therefore com fortable for summer use in many parts of the United States. More than this, domestic silk mills are equipped to produce surah silks. Patching Holes in Sack. Holes In grain sacks can be patched by shaking out the dust and pasting a piece of the same material on the in side over the opening. CHANGE STYLE OF DRESSING Arrangement of Coiffure Must Be Altered From Time to Time, for the Best Results. So much has been said of the folly of changing the coiffure to suit each passing style that the other side is apt to be overlooked. Hair can be | worn too continuously in one style , and if a woman is not careful she ■ may find herself without any hair on j the top of her head in the place where ! the hair ought to grow. The girl who thinks she looks pic- i turesque with parted hair should oc casionally take weeks off for a pompa dour unless she wants a broad path across her cranium. This holds good of the angles at which the long hair is arranged, and there should be fre quent changes, if only in the privacy of the boudoir. The benefit of these changes is re alised when one fines that dandruff accumulates under the thickest part I of the hair, and if it is too long in one spot there is danger of the trouble becoming chronic. Mothers have much to he responsi ble for by not regarding hair strain for their daughters. No girl who wears her hair in one why from the time she is six or eight until she puts on long frocks can hope to have a good head of hair. It ts bound to be worn in places. The Season's Colors. Navy blues promise to predominate to a very great extent for outdoor wear. In the materials woven of two colors navy is often combined with deep plum, black or a brighter dark blue. Trimmings of red and white are vouchsafed to navy serges. Qreens are very far from bolding as high a place in the preparations for the open ing season as they have done this win ter. but combinations of blue and green are fancied, while mustard and resedas figure prominentlly with ail shades of deep yellow in the harmon ies carried out in chiffon and satin.
