Oh ! what should' she reply ? 1d Henrietta's Proposal, I must have fallen asleep from sheer exhaustion, after John went down to his picked up dinner, for I was awakened by Henriette's apolo- gles for being so late my food. "Madam Gordon knew t I had told Mr. John I would bring you your dinner, and so she kept me un- til now," she said, with the angry liberty which an old servant some- times takes. "Never mind, Henriette, I have been asleep, and I think I'm really hungry now, four supper looks most appetizing, Has Mr. Gordon rétired?" "No, he left right after he finished eating, in response to a telephone call." "He left no word for me?" *No, Mrs: Gordon," said Henriette as she went to answer the telephone. "Mrs. Sinclair wishes to know if you are able to see her to-night." "Tell her that] am going to bed immediately, and that if she will, 1 wish she would come to-morrow morning, instead. Say to her that The refreshing effect, the nutritive elements and the delicate flavor in "each cup materially enhance the pleasure of the meal.

Henriette carried my message to the telephone and returned saying: "Mrs. Sinclair wishes me to tell you that everyone at the club was de lighted at your recovery, and they are very anxious as soon as you are well enough, to give you a "Welcome to our city" dinner. Shd will be over by ten o'clock to-mprrow morn fig, and hopes that your visit and drive did ont overdo you this after noon." Aided by Henriette. Henriette, with kindness and effi- ciency, helped me to prepare for bed. While donig so, she said: "Mrs. Gordon, don't you think that it would be nice or rather wouldn't it be a help to you, if I should have my young niece come to help you until you are stronger? I am very anxious to teach her the duties of a lady's maid, and she will be glad to come for her board and room." I dont' know what there was about this proposal of Henriette's that en- raged me, but I felt myself go hot and cold, for although I knew Hen- riette was making the offer in a spirit of helpfulness, I realized that she had seen emough of the workings of the household to Know that John would obect to paying for any ser- vant that I might hire without con. sulting him. I was also vain endugh to want to explain fo Henriette that I would have to consult Mr. Gordon before taking any one into my service, and I finally said, more to gain time than for any other reason: * ; "Don't you think Medam Gordon will object to another maid in the house?" "I can't tell that," she answered, 'but ghe usually does as Mr. Gordon wishes her to, even when it is against her own ju tt" Ab, there it 1s! If I would do ex- actly what John Gordon wishes me to do as he v of them, because of the constant little annoyances and hurts, women took «| their lives into their own hands, as had Helen, and went away with the man who seemed at the moment to love them. As I read these two stories my thoughts went back to Helen, and I thought to myself that I would ask Alice about my interference' with Helen's problem as well as about, my own. "1 am going home to work it out," I said to myself, and then came the awful thought: "Where shall I get the money to go home?" L (Copyright, 192, by ational News- paper Service.)

"I'm extremely partial to organdie, madame, but mother says it musses 80 quickly," "Organdie is a charming fabric, but it does wrinkle quickly How- ever, as an afternoon gowa it is satis- This Gown of White Organdie is factory, because you are then more a decorative picture than an active young lady." Oh, I'm never still very long!" Miss Armstrong replied. "She is never still at ail," said her mother. "What do you recommend as a substitute for organdie?" "There is no substitute for organ- die, Mrs. Armstrong," madame an- swered. 'Its crisp, cool sheerness is a part of girlhood, but chiffon cloth is very near to srgandie in ef- foct, except that calffon has a scft finish and organdie pussesses stifl- ness." "Phat is the very 'dea, chiffon cloth!" sald Mrs. Amstrong. "You can have chiffon oloth instead of er- gandis, Marjory." "Oh, mother, I like organdis better than chiffon," insisted Miss Marjory + "I have a charming afternoon I model' I'm making up in either or | andié or ehiffon," said madame. "The model is organdie, but it ean torials.'! Putting her hand on my shoulder, Madame said: 1 "Please show the whita organdie with the scroll puffings of pink char- meuse." This is a dainty, girlish frock ev- orybody is talking about. One Efide aelected it for her bridesmaids' dress. es, and I think it would make a lovely bridesmaid's dress. There is a tight skirt and bodice of flesh pink charmeuse. Over this is worn a bolero of white organdie. rounded on one side and eut square Qn the other, and a full skirt of or- gindie is attached to the pink lining under a narrow girdle of pale mauve ribbon. With this gown I wear a picture hat with a black lace rutile around the brim. 1 expected Miss Armstrong and her mother to be delighted' with this dress, and they certainly were. "I love the way the jacket is cut round to show the flesh pink bodice beneath," said Miss Armstrong. "The binding of white charnieuse around the edge of the neck of the bolero and the coquettish little white how are very attractive," remarked Mrs. Armstrong. "I think the trimmipg is very ori- ginal, especially those scrolls of pink charmeuse, How did you ever get them to take that shape?!" inquired Miss Armstrong. "They are shirred on tiny cords," replied Madame. "The hand work on this dress is one of its greatest charms," "The squares of lace are especially effective when the pink charmeuse shows through," remarked Miss Arm- strong. "There is a binding of white char- meuse around the edgq of the skirt, isn't there?" inquired Mrs. Arm- strong, and 1 walked toward her and stood before her so she could examine the edge of the skirt, °° ""Yes, the white satin binds both the bolero and skirt," replied Mad- ame. . "Please let me try on this dress fight away," said Miss Marjory. " *You've quite won me away from chiffon," said, her mother. (Coptinued from Page 3.)
