been well educated.”
“los, my lady. I was educated in
America.”
Lva frowned slightly, then smiled,
ahd said: “I don't wish you to call me
always 'my lady,' in that way. It is
rather difficult to .-ay exactly what I
mean, but you will soon understand.
Did Lady Prestno explain the—the kind
of situation It is here?”
"I understand 1 was to be your per
sonal maid.”
"It Is really something more than
that—more companion-maid. T want
.someone I can trust. Lady Preston told
me something about your having seen
better days, and really what I want Is
partly a companion and partly a maid.
I am a great deal alone, you know—
especially since my father’s death, and
1 sometimes get tired of myself.” This
with a little sigh and a pause.
"T will do my utmost to win your
confidence,” said Sadie, very earnestly,
her whole heart going out to this lone
ly little soul.
“I am sure you will. I read that in
your eyes just now—or I should not
have spoken as I have. I used to call
Freeman by her surname, but I should
like to call you Margiret; and I shall
give orders that you are to have your
meals served in the little room next to
your bedrootn. You are not like the
rest, of course. I can see that: I
should like you to dress me and so on,
and to be with me a great deal. I hope
you can read well. I love to be read to."
"I studied once for the stage,” was
the reply,
“Oh, how lucky I am. And can you
sing?”
"I never sing now.” This was not
quite true. Sadie was afraid that her
husband might chance to hear her and
recognize the full deep contralto voice

thjit at one time he had praised with
such enthusiasm.
“Ah, that is part of your-life-story,"
said Eva. "Some day you shall tell it
all to me. Would you read now? Don't,
if you think you would rather get more
accustomed to me."
That such a trail child should imag
ine herself so formidable as to make
Sadie nervous nearly caused a smile as
she asked for a honk. Eva gave her a
volume of Tennyson and then lay back
in a large easy-chatr.
Opening the book at random. Sadie
chanced on that part of Enoch Arden
which describes Enoch’s home-coming,
his aching solitude, the yearning to see
ills w ite, the visit to Philip’s house, and
the manful resolve to keep the secret of
ids return from her till ids death.
The passage appealed to both. Sadie's
hcarl was hi her voice as she read,
and the tears in Eva's eyes as she lis
tened.
“Oh, how you read!” she cried.
"You mako me see it and feel
il. all. What sadness there can be in
life even for the innocent."
In the pause (hat followed, the door
was opened and .Sadie rose quickly,
put down the book, and instinctively
backed away from the light.
It was Lord Broadstone.
"I thought you were alone, Eva,” he
said.
At the sound of his voice and the
sight of him Sadie winced, her hands
clenched involuntarily and her lips
were close pressed.
“I am alone, Bertram. This is only
my—my new maid, Margaret Hutchin
son. You may like to unpack your
things and may go now.”
"Thank you, my lady.”
Broadstone started slightly at the
voice, and gave Sadie a sharp look as
she turned toward the door.
‘‘It's nothing particular, Eva,” he
said. "I only wanted to know if you
had read through the will. Maxwell is
LATEST WRINKLES AND CRINKLES
IN SLEEVES FOR ALL OCCASIONS
vy
Sleeves are always an important part
of a dress, but it very often happens
that these details receive less consider
ation than they deserve, with the result
that the success of the garment as a
whole is not as great as it otherwise
would have been.
The woman who possesses good arms
should rejoice in the first and second
sleeves sketched, for in both instances,
but particularly in the latter, is a well
shaped arm displayed to advantage.
The first is outlined with a faint trac
ing of embroidery and is edged with a
chenille fringe, strands of the same
material being used for the lacing
which holds the sleeve together. The
second is a splendid idea where one's
material has run short, as is so often
the case where sale remnants are con
cerned, for this sleeve is composed sole
ly of three short lengths of soft satin
ribbon, knotted in the centre, where
each may be caught with a tiny paste
slide or fancy button. The gibbons are,
of course, joined beneath the arm.

here, and you dould sign it.”
Sadie left the door ajar and paused
a moment.
“Of course. I haven’t read it; but
I'll sign it, Bertram. It gives every
thing to you. I suppose, as Mr. Maxwell
explained. You and I have no other
wish." s*.
“Then we’ll lia\c him up aud get it
done. He’ll stay to dinner, of course,
and liven us up a bit.”
Sadie hastened to her own room,
took some dresses out of her boxes and
laid them about as if she were un
packing, and then sat down to think.
It was a suggestive commencement
to the drama which she had come to
act at Broadstone Towers, and the
sudden meeting with her husband had
agitated her more than she had antici
pated.
It had been one thing to sit and
think over the meeting In anticipation,
and another to come face to face with
liimi in the flesh. He had changed a
good deal from the days of his shack
hood in that Western city, and was
different from>he camp sponge, as Don
had contemptuously dubbed him.
But he was slill the same drunkard
as ever. His face showed that us plain
ly afe his bleary eyes and trembling
hand! and the blend of secret nervous
unrest and forced outward coolness.
He was the same coward at heart who
had dealt her that unspeakable wrong.
That she could ever have cared for
him appeared now nothing less than a
marvel, a cause of Ineffable wondering.
He was so contemptible in her eyes now
that the brief contact had filled her
with a sense of shame at her own past
weakness, and of loathing for what he
was.
And with it all was a feeling of re
gret that she had come. The shame of

when she had been at a distance. Bet

The third model on this page shows
the latest idea in rucked sleeves. It is
admirable for such ethereal fabrics as
chiffon or tulle. It is cut away to show'
a very little of the arm, but the elbow
is covered. The bar arrangement is
delightfully becoming to the skin, es
pecially w hen carried out in velvet, ar.d
the bars are finished at each end with
a tiny stud. The puffed bebe sleeve is
always more or less in demand for the
girl’s first ball frock, and wc have here
a dainty little example for any light
fabric. The only trimming consists of
an insertion of lace or embroidery with
three little bows of ribbon. The next is
' a tailor-built sleeve in cloth or velvet,
very simple, but beautifully cut and
fitted, and adorned with a row of self
colored buttons. The wrist shows a
dainty little frill, which is de rigucur
on even the severest models. Xext we
have two suggestions for sleeves suit
able for bridge coats. Both are long
enough to just cover the elbow and are
somewhat similar in ckpsign. The eighth
sleeve Is a dainty little confection of
lace or net, with a bow of ribbon and
two tassels, while the remaining model
is suitable for demi-toilettc or a blouse.

away, and she was conscious of a bit
ter regret that she had not done what
her uncle had so otlen urged upon her
—get a divorce from him and shall
even the memory of him out of her life.
In the midst of this whirl of emotions
someone knocked at her door, and she
gave an involuntary start as she saw
Lord Broadstone standing there.
"Oh 1 was not quite certain which
was your room. We want you a mo
ment in mj wife's room. Please to
come.”
Not a trace of suspicion was in the
look he gave her, and with a murmured
"Yes. my lord." she followed him.
Two others were in the room. Jack
lad arrived quite unexpectedly, and
Eva was making much of him on the
sofa, while a man of middle age sat
writing at the tabic.
"This is the pet son, Mr. Maxwell;
will you explain?” said Lord Broad
stqne.
“You arc Margaret Hutchinson?"
asked the lawyer ot .Sadie.
"Yes, sir."
"Well, we just want you to witness
Lady Broadstonc's signature, it Is a
mere matter of form. My clerk was to
have come over, but lias not arrived.
Lady Broadstcm is making her will,
and two witnesses arc necessary. I am
one, so you may be sure it is only a
form."
But Sadie found herself in a dilem
ma. She had only once written the
name Margaret Hutchinson, disguising
her handw riting with much trouble. 'I
have never witnessed anything ot the
kind, si'-.”
The lawyer smiled and waved liis
l and indulgently, “it is nothing. Lis
ten." and he read the attestation clause.
"There, all you do is to say that you
saw Lady Broadstone write her signa
ture and that it was In my presence."
"Do I need to know the contents ot
the paper?"
“My good soul, no, of course not. You
have nothing to do with that,” replied
Mr. Maxwell a little testily.
“What are die contents?" This was
from Jack, who got up and went to the
table. “Can I know them?”
Lord Broadstone frowned at the un
expected interruption. “It's only your
sister's will. Jack,” he said, shortly.
“It’s all right, Jack.” declared Eva.
“Mr. Maxwell has explained everything
to me. I'm leaving everything to
Bertram.”
“Well, 1 suppose there's no harm in
asking, is there?” asked Jack of Lord
Broadstone. "What does Eva want to

Please give me your opinion and oblige

Flowers or bonbons in a heart-shaped

«iuite sure. A dainty little water-color

be appropriate.
’Twixt Money and Love.
Dear Margery Doon:
' Do you think a girl of eighteen is
too young to know her own mind? I
lrave been going with a young man
for nearly a year, and now he wants
me to think about getting married. My
mother will not hear of it, as she says
no girl of eighteen has much common
sense. She wants me to keep company
with an older fellow who has a great
deal more money, but I do not love him
and never will. If I cannot marry the
one I love I will die an old maid. I
know I love him, for no other young
man even interests me. We do not in
tend to be married until after my nine
teenth birthday, anyway. Do you think
my mother is acting right when she
knows how much we think of each
other? Please answer very soon.
WAITING.
Some girls learn to know themselves
very young. Others live to be old
women without learning to know their
own minds. Everything depends on I
the individual. I think you are pretty
sure of yourself, however, or you would
not be so positive. As long as you do
not intend to be married right away
I would advise you to let the matter
rest for the present Probably your
mother will realize her mistake when
she sees how determined you are. She
has had experience enough to know
that money does not always bring
happiness.

I am, as he Is acquainted with friends
of mine, and I know all about him. His
people are very nice and he works In a
bank. Some days I can hardly keep
from smiling when we meet, as I feel
just as If I knew him. One day he
raised his hat. Do you think it would
be wrong to speak to him?_ I do not
mean to flirt, as it does not seem Uke

You ought to find it easy to have
some one introduce him to you, since
you know so many persons who know
him. If you spoke to him without an
introduction you would regret It. How
would you like to have him go home
and remark to his sister that you did
not seem to be a very particular sort
of girl, because you scraped acquaint
ance with people you met on the street? .
You see that is what it amounts to. g

Isn’t the settlement enough?”
"It Is just as your sister pleases, my
boy. I tried to make the matter plain
to you after your father’s death. By

has under that goes to liis lordship in

But anything she may acquire after

will.”
"Oh, I see,” said the boy. "You
mean, for instance, if she got my coin?
Of course."
Sadie was covertly watching his
lordship during this intorruption, and
noted the furtive expression in his eyes,
the nervous little .tugs at the stubby
mustache, the anxious uneasiness of i
the whole expression, and the look of
unmistakable relief when Eva wont to

good of my witnessing Eva’s will?
Why, I shall be dead and buried and

“It is. of course, little more than a

Jack.
