“Oh. this is good of you. you've

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

arms, just looked at her. in silence.
There was an awkward pause.

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

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

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:

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.”

“There is a certain sameness about

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.

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.
