SrAltV STHWAUT CUTTING , JU. I "About this fancy-dress ball nt the country club tonight." said Archibald Welkins, as bis wife, looking very love ly In a French-blue housodross, poured the morning coffee, "I don't quite like the Idea, do you, Eleanor?" Her large blue eyes turned up to him Inquiringly. "What don't you like about It, dear?" sho asked. "Oh, this fool notion of husbands and wives dressing separately not knowing about each other's costumes." Often In the eight yenrs of their mar ried life he had been disturbed by her trait of remaining silent when she dis agreed with him, and now, as she did not reply, ho stated more explicitly what was In his mind, saying: "I think we'd belter tell each other what we're going to wear." "We'll find out when w unmask," sho said. "Rut I think tho Idea of secrecy Is all nonsense," ho insisted with a little show of heat. "Pass Mr.. Welkins the marmnlade," his wife said to the maid. He helped himself, then repeated: "I think It's all nonsense l" Hut she did not answer. Flo had never known a woman with Eleanor's capacity for silence. It gave her n mysterious power. "The steward at the club told me they'd had over live hundred accept ances," ho went on. "That means a mixed crowd, and I'd like to know what your costume Is going to be so I can look after you." "Thnt's sweet of you," she answered, "but I'm sure I shnnt need looking after." "You might," he declared. "Oh, I don't think so not nt our own country club." "But I tell you It's going to bo n mixed crowd. You're n dnrn pretty woman and n blonde." And as again sho was silent, ho added In a tone that held n hint of nccusatlon: "Blondes nlwnya attract more attention." "Tako some hot toast," she said to him as the maid appeared. lie took some, and waited till she left the room. Then he said : "I wonder why men always think good looking blondes are " But lie did not finish the sentence. "Are what?" she asked. "Well, anyway," he declnred, "fancy dress makes people reckless. They feel that tho lid's off. There'll be a lot of Ilasks, too. There's so much more drinking since prohibition, Thnt's an other reason why I want to know. "Know what?" "What?" ho repeated Irritably. "Just what I've been asking you what you'ro going to wear." "I don't think It would be playing tho game to tell," she said. "How do you like this bacon? It's a new brand." "Look here," ho said sharply, "you can't put mo off that way! You say you don't need looking after, but your memory doesn't seem to he so good as mine I Before your lllrtntlon with that dolled-up French officer you fell for, X used to think you didn't need looking rtfter, tool But I guess 1." He Mopped. llavlug thrown In her face the ono Indiscretion of her married life, ho Instantly regretted It. Ho always did. lie always told himself that to keep referring to It was to take n mean dvantngo of her, nnd that he would Mvtr speak of It again. Strange thut ho onild not overcome tho Jealousy left with him by that episode of sev eral years ago, when, ever since, sho had been so circumspect. After nil It hail been only ti mild tllrlatloti, and the l-'renchinnti wasn't very young. Ho was a fool to keep thinking of It, and a greater fool to harp upon It. He said no more, but left the table, angry with her and angry with him self. II In tho Interest of soroey It bad been nrrunged that the wives should dine and dress together lti certain houses In the neighborhood, while the lui'baud.'t dined and dieted In others, ami that all .should nnio at the club mn-ked. Archibald Welkins consequently left the limousine to be used by his wife and her friends and taking the bag containing his costume, which was sup posed to resemble King Charles II, drove In his rwiiNfor to Tom Bayne's house, where he t. .mil a group of men, some of them already In their llnery, some dressing, all with cocktail glasses In their hands. By the time he had donned the regal wig nnd kneo breeches, and drank three cocktails, he began to change his mind about the fancy dress ball. It was an amusing Idea, this secrecy, lie was going to have a good time. Never theless, when he asked Eleanor what she was going to wear sho should have told him. He still felt some resentment about that. Tom Bayne had an excellent cellar. With dinner he served large highballs, and his Scotch wa.s exceptionally good. As Archibald Welkins was leav ing with the others, lie caught his re flection In a mirror and approved thereof. The Jewelled star shone bril liantly upon his breast ; the black silk stockings admirably set off his leg, which was a good leg, and the long, dark, curly wig gave him, he thought, a mysterious appearance. What did he care, after all, about Eleanor's refusal to tell him what her costume was to be? Ho wasn't going to worry about Eleanor tonight. Not he! lie had offered to that was enough. Sho didn't know what he was wearing, either. Yes, he wns going to have a good timet With an Arab sheik, a Chinaman, and a soldier in the buff and blue of the Continental army as his passen gers, he drove to the club, handling his roadster dashingly, and to avoid being recognized by his car, parked beside the drive at some distance from tho door, and walked with his companions to the clubhouse. The doors and the French windows were open ; dancing had already start ed; they could hear the music as they walked across the grass. Inside tho ballroom Welkins paused to review the animated spectacle. Masked soldiers, clowns, coolies, court beauties, bull fighters, odalisques, woman Jockles, gelslia, harlequins, cowboys, Spanlbh senorltas, mandarins, pirates, nymphs, Turks, vaqueros, peasants, whirled to the music of the Jitza band. Looking them over as they circled pnst, he presently thought he recog nized his wife. She was dressed If Indeed It was Eleanor as a French court lady, with patches, a high, powdered wig and a pannlered gown of flowered silk, and was dancing with u Koman gladiator. He watched her around the room. Her height, her tig tire, her carriage were Eleanor's, and the costume had a dignity characteris tic of his wife's taste. When she had passed several times he was quite cer tain of her. Presently he became Interested In Cleopatra, who fox-trotted Into view with Napoleon. Eleanor would have made a handsome Cleopatra, too, but ho felt sure she would never appear In public In such scant attire. That Cleopatra woman was certainly attractive, though! lie cut In on her and, as they danced, talked In a false voice, endeavoring to gi'oss at her identity. But tho fair Egyptian was popular. An Indian Rajah soon snatched her away, leaving Kin 1 t.w...t.w. l.'l.... Charles II free to seek out a fascinating Columbine who, several times, had passed near mm m a nance, mm seemed responsive to Ids glances. Presently, with a beau of the Colon ial period, she came down the floor, a sprightly figure In a short black satin dress with a wnlst tut to a deep V In back, springy little skirts, thin open work stockings and ballet slippers. With her huge white ruff and her black cocked hat pulled down at a saucy angle over bobbed red hair, she looked the Incarnation of Irresponsible gaiety. He cut In nnd found that her danc ing confirmed his Impression. How light, how responsive sho was I "I've been aiming to catch you !" ho told her, disguising his voice by pitch ing It low. "'Ave you, monsieur?" she chirped. "Well, zen, wo are sympnthlquo, for I too 'ave look at you, you beeg, 'and some maul" The minx. She gave his hand n squeeze which ho promptly returned. "Are you French?" ho nsked In his assumed voice, "or are you putting on that accent?" "What you sink, monsieur?" "I think," he said, "that If you're putting It on you do It very well." "An' you, you had, weeked king! 0v Is your Nell Gwyn?" she asked. "Never mind Nell Gw'yn," he said. "It's you I'm Interested In. Don't tell mo you're Just a nice little married woman In disguise wife of some man who commutes to business In New York and drives u ball uround theso links on Sundays." "You 'ope I'm real naughty French girl?" she asked, archly. "Indeed I do!" "Well, zen, follow me! And with that she disengaged herself and flitted swiftly through n French window lead ing to tho terrace. Pursuing, he lost her momentarily, for In the darkness her black dress gave her an advantage, but as sho scampered down the steps toward the lawn and the links, he caught sight of her white ruff, and sped after her. As she disappeared behind a large syrlnga hush he heard a rippling lauuli, and running to the oilier side, caught her In his atiii. Then, as she whs panting and lau -liing, ami as It was dark, and they were marked, and the syilngas smelled s,o sweet, he Vli"''! his hand beneath lr chin, tilted It up, bent over, and was about to seize the fruits of litry, when she eluded him nnd ran nT l.iiiglilng, In the direct Inn nf the drle. A piisoner who escapes '111111 Is re captured pays an added penalty, and when alter another chase over the silver-green nf moonlit grass, Charles 11 grasped the elusive Columbine, and exacted what he deemed Just tribute from her lips, he was surprised and flattered by the apparent willingness with which she paid. Indeed It was that willingness which made him confident Hint she would not ngtiiti become a fugitive, ami he was holding her lightly when, In a flash, she was off once more, this time running toward the clubhouse. .lust at the doorway he caught tips but his appeal to her to stay outside was unavailing. "No," she said, firmly, "you are a naughty boy, an' I 'ave foiin' you out. My 'uslmn' would not like." "Your husband does not need to know," he urged, "nor my wife, either. That's what makes a party of this kind such fun husbands and wives not knowing each other's costumes," "Yes," said she, "hut I 'ave already 'ad fun enough, my king." And with that slit moved Into the ballroom. By the door they stood for a mo ment watching the dancers. "Look!" he exclaimed suddenly. "There's another Columbine. Site's llko you exactly like you, even to her red hair!" "Yes, we came togezzer." "But suppose I were to lose you," said he, "how could I And you again? How could I tell the two of you apart?" "Zat Is a question !" she said. "Let's dance and talk it over." "No, monsieur," replied the Colum bine, "now 1 inns' dance wlz some wan else." As she spoke a cowled monk came up." and In a moment she was dancing off with him. "Meet me here afterwards" urged King Charles an she moved away. But she shook her head. "How shall I And you, then?" ho demanded, following. "I don't sink you can!" snld sho. and again he heard her tantalizing laugh. Ho retired to tho doorway and watched for her, but by the time she came around again sho was with a Sicilian brigand, lie cut In. But ap parently this was the other Columbine, for she did not seem to know him. Her step was not so light as that of the one he Bought, nor did she speak with a French accent. Never mind! He would find his lost Columbine. He was determined to And her. And when they unmasked he would learn who she was. Time and again, when he saw n Columbine wearing a black cocked hat over bobbed hair, lie cut In nnd danced with her, but only to be disappointed. Always It was the wrong one. He ques tioned her about the other, but could get no sntls'aetlon. When, nt midnight, the dancers un masked, he hastened about the ball room and the adjacent apartments looking for the Columbines, but now ho could find neither of them. Nor could be find his wife, nor yet the whlte-wlgged lady of the French court whom he had Identified with her. Where could Eleanor he? She ought to be In the ballroom. That was where I n M'nll.lw.lni viwl vemiinn liplonircil nt n i rt BUch ,,H l)gf It Wll.t ww for I M woman to go wandering about t" " " outside, In the moonlight, with n strange man. masked. Since problbl- I t,(n (h(,ro ,m(1 )(,pn n ,, nf llrIlliilliPi and fancy dress made people reckless, anyway. Temporarily he forgot the Columbine In his concern about bis wife's behavior, as he looked for her upon the terrace nnd the lawn. Falling to find her he returned to the club and telephoned home. "Hello?" He was surprised to hear Eleanor's voice upon the wire. "I've been bunting for you all over the place," he said. "What took you home so eniiy?" "Oh, I got enough of It." "Didn't you have a good time?" "I had an exceptionally good time," she assured him. "But I don't understand why you went home, then." "Fnncy dress makes people do nil sorts of things," she said, and before ho could comment upon the cryptlcal character of the remark, she asked: "Ilavo you been enjoying yourself?" "Ob, I've had worse times," said he. And thinking to have one final look for his lost Columbine, he added: "I guess I'll hang around for a while If you don't mind." "No. I don't mind nt all. Oood night, dear," and she hung up the receiver. Ill . "Well, dear," said Archibald Wei kins next morning as his wife, looking very lovely In n shell-pink house gown, poured the coffee, "It was a pretty good party, wasn't It?" And as she nodded, lie went on In an expansive tone: "Made It rather amusing, after all husbands and wives not knowing each other's costumes don't you think so?" "Yes, very amusing," she Fald. "I was quite sure I recognized you," ho told her. "Oh, were you?" Sho looked up quickly. "Yes, In a French rutin n with a high powdered wig.' When she smiled and slumi; hit head he was surprised. "That wasn't ou honestly?" "No, honestly." "What was jour costume, then?' "I went as a Columbine," she said; nnd addressing the maid: "Pass Mr. Welkins the .strawberry Jam." In silence he helped himself, spread Jam upon a piece of toast, ate It, and drank his coffee. Then: "There were two Columbines dressed eviuily alike," he ventured. "Yes." said Eleanor. "This is thn last of that new hncnu. Have you made up your mind yet how you like It?" "Oh, ll's very good," he answered ab stractedly. "Both tho Columbines I saw had red hair." "Wigs." she returned, succinctly. "Wigs?" he repeated, surprised. "They didn't look like wigs." "Men aren't ery quick at detecting such tilings," said she. Then, to his In Unite surprise she added. "Do you re member that nice French olllccr 1 liked so much three years ago?' "Why, es." "Well, lie wore a toupee." "lie dlil? How do you know?" "I no. iced It the llrst time I saw htm." Tin," he said, and sat reflective for n time, then: "Look here, dear," ho went on. "Let's never speak of that French olllccr again. It was long ago, and anyway It really didn't amount to anything." If he expected recognition of tills' mngnnnlmlty he was disappointed for she did not speak. "Who was the other Columbine?" ho asked In a casual tone as he was about to rise from table. "Evidently someone who went to the name cost timer I did." his wife replied. "But." He checked himself; then with some feeling, added: "I don't think they ought to send out duplicate costumes for the same party, do you?" But she failed to reply. Often In the eight years of their married life he had been disturbed by Iter trait of remaining silent when she disagreed with him. lie had never known a woman with Eleanor's capac ity for silence, it gave her a mysteri ous power. HAD BACKING AT VICKSBURG Old Soldier's Humorouo Explanation for Not Graving Displeasure of His Better Half. "When our concern was publishing 'ilstorles of Missouri counties, some years ago, one of our solicitors brought In a hard-luck story that seemed amus ing to me. but meant the loss of ?r to him," said William II. Bingham, field man for a large Chicago publishing douse. "The subject was an old farm er living near Bear creek, In one of Hie northern counties. Our man sat put on the porch and Jotted down tho history, which the farmer gave with eagerness. The fanner had been In the Union army, and showed an hon orable discharge. "Finally everything had been noted down by the solicitor, who briefly sum marized the facts, and said they would he cnrefully written out In the olllco and printed In our forthcoming history af tho county. "Tho solicitor handed the farmer a blank to sign, but Just as he reached for the pencil: "Don't sign flint!' "A large, aggressive woman ap peared at the door, her ample hands resting on her hips. "This Is only an order for one of our county histories, with your bus band's biography In It,' explained the solicitor. 'He doesn't have to pay a cent till he gets the book ' "'And what Is the book going to cost?' she demanded. "'Fifteen dollars.' "'Fifteen dollars for Just one bonk?' tho wife cried. 'Why, I can get a whole shelf full of books for that. Don't yt u sign that, eh,' and sho walked back to her task In the kitchen. " 'Here.' said the solicitor, again ten dering the pencil ; 'sign here.' "But tl.e veteran shook his head. " '(iuess I won't go In,' he said with finality. "What? You scared of a womnn?
