"I cannot say that I am overly anx ious to go searching for some vague aud ethereal creature,” he responded “moreover, my eyes seem loath to fteave the lady in the present land : scape Je suis content, my Romany oia deil” he laughingly added. , None of the boys in our crowd talked in words of more than one syllable and it fascinated me to hear his French phrases, which he used so naturally that even a person with a nuattering of the language could - rvymprehend their meaning. I thought h s conversation was not unlike the( French phrases, clothing as he did,( the most platitudinous compliments, in charm and majesty. His vocab ulary too. was competing. J pondered his last pretty tribute i and turned my head to look at liini| while he made playhouses and let, the sand run through his fingers. He was undeniably handsome and his body graceful, wth that indefin able something about it that sug gests agility and a spiendid fitness to meet any emergency. Reserve strength was there too, and yet. 1 had an idea that in love, he might be as gentle as a woman. I gazed up at the stars. The beauty of the tropical night seemed to enter my being. No wonder the whole world was beginning to love F .or Ida. Even the moonlight was different and the stars up there wife friendly. Big. yellow ones outlined the dipper. Florida stars then the wind in the palms sighing like a restless virgin waiting for l fe and its completeness. It was like Curtiss Wright and I were off on some desert island, the stretch of the sand-dunes only em phasized our seclusion.^ Long ago the voices of the swimmers had been 1031 in me a fiance. “WelS. do you want to see her?” I queried, moved nearer to my com panion and putting my face cldse to his. You see the moon—well there's a lady up there and there’s also a man I’m the lady and you’re the man. Their profiles touch, like thi* and, er, they kiss each other.” My face was against his. My eyes closed expectantly and my lips parted He caught me by the shoulders «nd his voice was tremulous. . . ‘Don't, Sallie. for God’s sakb. child you mustn’t play games like that. You don't know what you're doing. Look at me.” he ordered, ‘‘where do you pick up such things?”_ “Ted Billings taught me.” ^‘Ted Billings, eh, the young dev il!” he interrupted ‘‘Oh. don’t be so proper,” I ca joled. this time you really will see her.” And I turned my face up to his, but he drew away sharp’.y. “No thanks. I don’t bel’eve I care for your COMMUNITY KISSES!” He stood up, his eyes looking toward *fhe white-caps of the ocean as if he were utterly oblivious of my exist ence. “Oh. Mr. Wright,” I called to him “if it isn’t against your puritanical pr'nciples, I’d like very much for you to go and dig me up a little snifter. “A little drink, Mr. Holier-than thou person.” I was sitting up and I shook my finger at him. “And when you return we’ll ta k it all over. I’ll even listen to your com plaint about my morals ” ‘‘I beg your pardon. I assure you it was not my intention to meddle. What shall it be. I am at your serv ce?” ‘•Do^n’t matter. Whatever you ;an manage.” He bowed courteously and de parted. Once again I lay supine, the soft sand was soothing. With my hands undeT my' head I lost myself in the glories of the moonlight. Surely Nature had made Florida a garden spot fordovers. Lovers, ah—if Cur : iss Wright HAD kissed me. A shadow, huge and terrible, fell icross the sand in front of me where [ was dreaming. It couldn’t be Mr. VVr'ght, I thought quickly, the Inn was a half mile off and he had only been gone a few moments. I couM st^nd it pO' longer. ^ looked behind and as I moved my bead I saw a man coming unsteadily in my direction. I tried to scream and couldn’t. In a twinkling I realized that I was at his mercy for the beach had long since been deserted. As I jumped to my feet, he lurched forward and towered over me. (Continued Next Week.) Thrifty Tips for the HONE ,-r by FLO. Mahogany: A very fine polish for mahogany is made by mixing a table spoon of o.ive oil with a teaspoonful of v'negar. After dusting well, apply the fluid with a piece of soft flannel. Then polish with a clean, soft duster Cocoa: If a pinch of cloves is added to cocoa when making a cake it wilt improve the flavor. Hair Hrushes: If hair brushes are washed with soda instead of soap, the br'stles will remain’ stiff’ and white. Soap softens the bristles and does not clean as quickly as soda. Teacups: If your teacups are badly stained, try wash'ng them in a mix ture of salt and vinegar. It will remove all spots. Stockings: The, colored silk stock ings that are so popular now some times look very faded after washing. To avoid fading, use one tablespoon of borax to each two quarts of warm watqr. Wash quickly and rinse thoroughly in clear water. Do not hang in the sun. Clothes: If clothes are sprinkled with warm watqr instead of cold, they will be ready to iron Jn a few moments. Roll them tightly in a damp towel and iron in ten or fifteen minutes. Bums: It is a good idea to keep a solution of a,5um and water bottled in case of burns, etc. If applied at once, this solution will prevent blist ering and also relieve pain quickly. White Stockings: If white silk stock ngs are washed and dried at night they will not turn yellow as quickly as they will if they are dried in the light. Saucepans: Aftex cooking oatmeal Seems to me that waitin’ i:: the bosom friend of pain. Find the thing exemplified in waitin’ fer a train.

She Is Mrs. Josephine Duble%Miller of New Orleans. In 1908, when Mrs. Miller was twenty-one, her young husband died. Death had followed a long illness and in its wake came ex treme poverty, large unpaid debts, the problem of what she, sickly and weak and inexnerienced. was to do, and a future almost devoid of prospects. 7Ir. Hiller had been a locksmith. During the same year of her husband’s death Mrs. Hiller de termined to become one of the most talked locksmiths in the world and to that end she went to work as a locksmith’s apprentice. Marine locks were her specialty. To get business she canvassed the j docks and personally interviewed [the masters of ships whose vessels docked at the port of New Orleans, i Results of a paying nature were slow and poverty was keen, but she stuck to her chosen work and during the spring of the following year she entered a bid against a number of competitors to com I pletely overhaul and rebuild the ; locks ' of a steamship which had nut in for repairs. She was given the contract. From that day her fame began to mount. It be came the custom of ship owners 1 wrfir j jHADLEYi to send for Mrs. Miller and place large orders with her. Before two years had passed she was employ ing a number of helpers, ha'-’ moved into a pretentious shop and her net profits were hovering about $7,000 a year. About four years ago two large buildings, housing the Canal-Commercial and the Whitney - Central Banks were erected. Contract bids for lock* for all doors were let. Mrs. Mil ler won both bids. Today Mrs. Miller’s business is a #largo on3 and she is called a specialist. DISCOVERED ESTHER BIGEOU World'i greater! linger and ac» tre« rays, “I ute and recommend Hi-Ja Beauty Preparation!.
