Ellen, now at her dressing table, with the stiff lines of a silk robe fall- ing about her, flushed in her turn. | Last night you kept him up until | quarter of eight,' she answered light- | ly.

What | for?" | "Indeed, I don't know, Tom!' Their first real estrangement came | this summer. Not that Ellen and Gibbs, as normal young persons, had not quarrelled before There had been occasions, in the very early @ays, when a fancied coldness in his tone, or a letter that Ellen must write to Joe in the hour Gibbs want- ed to read to her, had caused them | acute wretchedness for hours, or | minutes that seemed like hours. And | then there had been the day that | Gibbs was so rude to the \LLanes, in- nocent callers at the studio, and | there had been the awful day he | whipped Tommy, after, as Ellen put 1 deliberately goading a baby of i less than four years into such a state | of excitement that he didn't know | whether he was telling the truth or | not, | But this was different. Gibbs had taken a dislike to Joe and he and Ellen could hardly mention Joe with- out feeling. Gibbs told Ellen im- patiently that Joe was all right, he might be a decent enough fellow and | all that, but that he, Gibbs, did not like to have Joe chocked down his throdt all the time. Josselyn, Sene lor, was inclined to be hospitable to Ellen's brother, to bring him home to Sunday lunch, or to keep him for dinner after the Saturday tennis. George Lathrop was often at "Vil- lino dell' Orto," and Harriet and Joe naturally drifted togetner. But Lil- lian, Ellen divined at once, did not like Joe; Joe had absolutely nothing to contribute to Lillian's life, and Ellen suspected that Lillian, in her languid and indirect manner, had influenced Gibbs without his know- ing it, One hot evening late in June Ellen went upstairs tired and exasperated after a wasted day. She had motor- ed to Huntington with Lillian for a luncheon and bridge party, and had been talking and eating and laughing all day. Now her skin felt dry and hot, her head ached and she was ex- periencing the exhaustion of a sud- denly lessened tension. 8he had stopped at the nursery to find Lizzie alone and sulky, Mr. Latimer had not yet brought Tommy back"m. Yes'm, it\ was quarter past six, Ellen nt on to her own room to find Gibbs flung across the bed in one of the heavy naps with which hs sometimes recruited his forces for the evening's demands. He rolled over when she came in, and lay there blinking and staring between yawns at the ceiling. "Time is it? he asked presently, and when she told nim he added: "Damn a seven o'clock dinner any- way! My head feels rotten!" "You smoke: too much!" Ellen suggested dispassionately. He himself had often admitted it, and also admitted that he could not drink as steadily as the other men. But he scowled at this reminder. The truth was that late hours, rich food, hot weather, alcoholic stimulants, and the unnatural life they were leading were bad for them both, and any pretext would serve in these days for a quarrel. '"Wheré's Tommy?* Gibbs now asked. Ellen knew that he knew, and that he had deliberately select- ed a question that would imply a criticism of her management. "Joe's coming over to dinner, Gibbs, with the Lathrops. And he isn't to dress; you know, for they've been out in the boat all afternoon. .So I said not to bother to get Tommy home before seven, he can have a simple dinner and pop into bed as 800n as he gets here." Gibbs was now sitting on the edge of the bed with his silver hair in a mop over 'his flushed face, and his head in his hands.

By WANDA BARTON Sone | i | | | | Have You a~Dutch Shelf to Ponder | Over? To have or not to have a Dutch | shelf In the modern house dining | room--that is the question under dis- | cussion today. Its decorative value hangs in the balance. In its native land the ghelf had a meaning; it top- ped a settle, filled in an old wall | space, ran from top to top of door- | Ways, and it held rare old steins, shining copper and brass meéasures, plates and candlesticks whioh were | the envy of all beholders. - i | Here, in America, the poor little | | shelf chases itself aji-around a room, | from eighteen inches to a yard below | the ceiling, and. just dares you to! | put anything upon it that won't bear | close inspection in other places--and'! | most people take the dare. No won- | | der, as we go from house to house | {and from apartment to apartment | looking shelfward, that its fate hangs | |in the balance. We think, then £0 | home and look critically at our own | shelf--for few of us renters escape | its possession. Finally, on the steps of the kitchen ladder we rise to a | decision. . | The Japanese claim that it calls for | a prodigious amount of appregiation | { to enjoy the constant sight of dven a masterpiece, while a limitless capa- city for artistic feeling must exist in order to live in the midst of the color | and confusion of things with which the people of the western world sur- round themselves. Better the abode | of vacancy than that of constant con- fusion. What must they think of our Dutch shelves? They avoid in all things repetition --for instance, if there are living flowers in the room don't hang a pic- ture of flowers on the wall. If you are using a round kettle on the tea tray let a pitcher of angular shape bear it company, and under no condi- tions should a teacup of black glaze | associate with a tea caddy of black | lacquer, no matter if it is relieved by | a decoration of goid or silver. It a handsome bronze is placed on a man- | telplece, don't put it in the exact cen- | tre flagrantly to divide the space into two distinct halves. " One more abomination to people of the Orient is to try to converse with a man, sanely and sensibly, whose full-length portrait hangs just behind him, staring fixedly until the wonder ETows as to which is real and which the fraud. They also are at a loss as to why pictured victims of chase and sport, and elaborate carvings of fish and fruits adorn our dining rooms, while the shelves hold a display of family plates that remind them of those who have dined and died. Sitting on the top of the stepladder and conning this wise philosophy of decoration, we look at the shelf again and are surprised at the subtle Jap- anese understanding. Then we begin to look coldly, critically at the oceu- pants of the shelf, and begin to weed them out. Qur first though is "Ugh! how dusty and unsanitary this shelf is!" Then we marvel at the amount of things there is on it. Then every- thing comes down. The laundress takes her pick, the trash barrel gets its quota, the shelf is washed, and perhaps a half-dozen picked treasures 80 back upon it in state--at preserib- ed angles on its length. Is it or is it not decorative? In most instances it is not. In artistic homes, where, perhaps, just the right things are purchased for the shelf, it does not offend good taste, and is decidedly decorative, but in other places, where ugly-shaped things, often too wide and bulging over the edge, things that are too tall, cracked pitchers, mended plates, and other modern antiques are used, the shelf becomes an eyesore. We, who live with an ugly shelf, get used to its enormity, and don't look up at it ex- cept on cleaning days, but to the artistic visitor who looks at it for the first time, and is, perhaps, waiting while the hostess puts a finishing touch to her toilette, thus having time to realize its awfulness, it must be an astonishing achievement. iN Decorators say the shelf cuts off the top of the room, lowering the ceiling while it heightens the window frames in effect, so that it is very hard to make the effect of the whole harmoni A broken line is much easier to work up to, and is much richer in suggestion. When a. pink room Is planned, the ceiling shading from the shelf to a pink cream, and some ofie comes along and sets a vase of lobster hue on the shelf where the light falls upon it, away goes the harmony, and discord reigns.
