(Copyright, 1916, by the McCl Newspaper Syndicate) Mr. Gordon was not the kind of a man to easily surrender hope of ob- taining an object he wanted. There- fore he was far from convinced of | defeat when I turned to him and un- | equivocally refused his proposal that I desert my husband and go wtih { him. | "Sit. down," talk it over." | The conflicting emotions which had stormed within my bosom had left me physically weak, although | morally I was as strong as ever and |as unalterably determined that I | should do nothing which would cause this good friend of mine or | me serious regret in after years. | sank into a chair. He drew a seat | close to mine and took my hand. | "Roxane," he began. "I cannot {take 'no' for an answer after all that | has passed between us; after know- {ing as I do that you did care for me once, and with the further knowledge | that you-'do not love your husband |and that he does not love you." { I turned my eyes slowly to him. "But there is one thing that even | you must admit is true," I said with |a wan smile. "You cannot deny that I am married to him." | He dropped my hand and stared at me, a slight frown furrowing his | brow for the first time since I had known him. But the cloud soon [titted and he gravely smiled at me. "lI am only too keenly aware of | that fact," he said. "It has been the jone great sorrow of the last few | years--the nightmare of my life. In- | deed, Roxane, you do not know how {1 love you or what I have suffered since I knew you, because of the very fact that you were married to a man you did not and possibly could not love, and who could not love you as you deserve. It seems to me that every moment of my life since I met you I have been conscious of a load pressing down upon my heart. I knew what the burden was. It was the knowledge that you were beyond my reach, because you were legally married to Arthur Pembroke. Never once has this load been lifted from my soul. When at first I learned that I loved vou, all sorts of wild de- sires flashed through my mind. You will forgive me if I tell you that at one time I was determined to see to {it that your husband could not earn a living. 1 made up my mind to fol- low him from place to place and pre- vent him getting employment. But I thank heaven that such a thought did not linger long with me. "Then I determined that he should become a Success. My love for you was such that I could not bear to think of you in any position except one of comfort. There may have been a fear in my heart that in ad- ire he urged.

"What?" I cried breathlessly "Was it your influence that promot ed Arthur? 1 thought vou had control of the A. B. C. Company." He smiled faintly . "It was the visible control only which changed. 1 still own the A B. C. Company. The only difference is that formerly I held it through one set of men and lately 1 have owned it through Mr. Henderson." I stared at him with wide eyes, "And it is to you debted for this?" about the room Arthur's position; comes from you; the clot wear; the bread that 1 ¢ things are mine because oi erosity?"" . "No, not altogether," he answers hesitatingly. "Mr. Pembroke is the president of the A.-B--€---~Company and as president he has certain du ties which, I believe; he has per formed with ability and discretion I think he has earned all that he has been paid." "But you did it on, my account! Would you have done the same for Arthur had I not been his wife "That is a hard question to an swer. I might and I might not." "This is frightful!" I cried. "We have been living on your bounty' "Not at all Did 1 not say now that Mr. Pembroke has earned his salary?" "Yes, but it was you who paid it and 'it was you who promoted him He never would have risen so rapidly unless you had supported him with your influence." "Possibly not I pared to say. I know that he was made president of the company at my request, but he has been efficie and he would remain president be cause of his ability, even if I became indifferent in the matter. He has served the company capably and has paid large dividends on the stock." "But you put him where he and you did it on my aecount?' It was the same question I had asked before, but I could not help repeating it. It was more a wail of anguish than a query. Was Mr. Gordon trying to buy me? Was this his purpose in.paying my husband a pricely salary and enabling me to command almost every luxury a wo- man could wish. It was hard to be- lieve that he was such a man.

Péfhaps the queerest of all fabrics used this season as a dress material is cretonne, which in previous years was used almost exclusively for household decorations, such as cur-) tains, cushions and covering for furniture. The women members of strolling gypsy bands have always displayed a fondness for chintz and cretonne skirts and when worn with brilliant waists and aprons the effect is quite startling. But one must remember that they consider color omly, and not color harmony. When cretonne is properly used it is not in the least jarring to even the most fastidious, and there is no semblance whatever to a gypsy cos- tume. A sports suit seen recently was a joy to behold. The skirt which was quite plain, was of cre- tonne, with a tapestry effect, an in- distinct floral pattern in cream color, several shades of pink, green and dull gray, so arranged that the color ef- fect was soft and "cloudy' and no two colors clashed. The cpit was of white linen, with a square collar of the cretonne edged with an inch band of the linen. The hat worn with this coat suit had a brim of stiff white linen, with a round crown of cretonne. A plain white ribbon band with a picoted edge was the only trimming on the hat. "Don'ts" For Economy.
