A clash ls averted by the in terference of a guest who separates the combatants. CHAPTER XVIII. (Continued.) "It's only Jim." I whispered. "I-I don't want to hear any more." But she clutched me firmly, and the next thing we heard was another creak, and louder and ' Jet up! Get up off your knees this instant!" Bella was saying frant ically. "Some one might come In." "Don't send me away," Jim said in a smothered voice. Every one in the house is asleep, and dear." Aunt Selina swallow darkness. "You have no rlgh to me," Bella. "Itfs-n." _.w proper, under the circumstances." And then Jim: "You swallow a camel and stick at a gnat. Why did you meet me here, if you didn't ex pect me to make love to you? I've stood for a lot, Bella, but this foolish ness will have to end. Either you loee me-or you don't. I'm desper ate." He drew a long, forlorn breath. "Poor old Jim!" This was Bella. A pause. Then-"Let my hand alone!" Also Bella. "It is my band!"-Jim's most fa tuous tone. "There is where you wore my ring. There's the mark still." Sounds of Jim kissing Bella's ring finger. "What did you do with it? Throw it away?" More sounds. Aunt Selina crossed the library swiftly, and again I followed. Bella was sitting in a low chair by the fire, looking at the logs, in the most ex quisite negligee of pink chiffon and ribbon. Jim was on his knees, star ing at her adoringly, and holding both her hands. "I'll tell you a secret," Bella was saying, looking as coy as she knew how-which was considerable. "I I still wear it, on a chain around my neck." On a chain around her neck! Bella, who is decolette whenever lt is al lowable, and more than is proper! That was the limit of Aunt Selina's endurance. Still holding me, she stepped through the doorway and into the firelight, a fearful figure. Jim saw her first He went quite white and struggled to get up, smiling a sickly smile. Bella, after her first surprise, was superbly indifferent She glanced at us, raised her eyebrows, and then looked at the clock. "More victims of insomnia!" she said. "Won't you come in? Jim, pull up a chair by the fire for your aunt." Aunt Selina opened her mouth twice, like a fish, before she could speak. Then "James, I demand that that woman leave the house!" she said hoarsely. Bella leaned back and yawned. "James, shall I go?" she asl'ed amiably. "Nonsense," Jim said, pulling him self together as best he could. ''Look here, Aunt Selina, you know she can't go out, and what's more, I-don't want her to io." "You-what?" Aunt Selina screech ed, taking a step forward. "You have the audacity to say such a thing to me!" Bella leaned over and gave the fire log a punch. "I was Just saying that he shouldn't say such things to me. either," she remarked pleasantly. "I'm afraid you'll take cold, Miss Caruthers. Wouldn't you like a hot sherry flip?" Aunt Selina gasped. Then she sat down heavily on one of the carved teakwood chairs. "He said he loved you; I heard him," she rudd weakly. "He-he was going to put his arm around you!" "Habit!" Jim put in, trying to smile. '.'You see, Aunt Selina, it's-well, it's a habit I got into some time ago, and I-my arm does it without my think ing about it." "Habit!" Aunt Selina repeated, her voice thick with passion. Then she turned to me. "Go to your room at once!" she said in her most awful ?CULAR ?TAIRCA?E MUN; ETC. tone. "Go to your room and leave this-this shocking affair to me." , But If she had reached her limit, so had L If Jim chose to ruin himself, it was not my fault. Any one with common sense would have known at least to close the door before he went down on his knees, no matter to whom. So when Aunt Selina turned on me and pointed in the direction of the staircase, I did not move. "I am perfectly wide awake," T said coldly. "I shall go to bed when I am entirely ready, and not before. And as for Jim's conduct, I do not know much about the conventions in such cases, but if he wishes to em brace Miss Knowles, and she wants him to, the situation is interesting, but hardly novel." Aunt Selina rose slowly and drew the folds of her dressing gown around her, away from the contamination of my touch. "Do you know what you are say ing?" she demanded hoarsely. "I do." I was quite white and stiff from my knees up, but below I was wavery. I glanced at Jim for moral support, but he was looking idola trously at Bella. As for her, quite suddenly she had dropped her mask of indifference. Her face was strain ed and anxious, and there were deep circles I had not seen before, under her eyes. And it was Bella who final ally threw herself into the breach the family breach. "It is all my fault, Miss Caruthers," she said, stepping between Aunt Se lina and myself. '"I have been a blind and wicked woman, and I have almost wrecked two lives." Two! What of mine? "You see," she struggled on, against the glint in Aunt Selina's eyes. "I-I Ulinga mt.* - __ _0 oh, Jim. Jim!!" She turned and buried her head on his shoulder and cried; teal tears. I could hardly believe tnat lt WE.S Bella. And Jim put both his arms around her and almost cried, too, and looked nauseatingly happy with the eye he turned to Bella, and scared to death out of the one ho kept on Aunt Selina. She turned on me, as of course I knew she would. "That," she said, pointing at Jim and Bella, "that shameful picture ls due to your own indifference. I am not blind: I have seen how you re jected all his loving advances." Bella drew away from Jim, but he jerked her back. "If anything in the world would reconcile me to divorce, it is this unbelievable situation. James, are you shameless?" But James was and didn't care who knew it. And as there was nothing else to do, and no one else to do it, I stood very straight against the door frame, and told the whole miserable story from the very beginning. I told how Dal and Jim had persuaded me, and how I had weakened and found lt was too late, and how Bella had come in that night, when she had no busi ness to come, and had sat down in the basement kitchen on my hands and almost turned me Into a raving ma niac. As 1 went on I became fluent: My sense of injury grew on me. I made it perfectly clear that I hated them all, and that when people got divorces they ought to know their own minds and stay divorced. And at tha. a great light broke on Aunt Se lina, who hadn't understood until that minute. In view of her principles, she might have been expected to turn on Jim and Bella, and disinherit them, and cast them out, figuratively, with the ! flaming sword of her tongue. But she did not! She turned on me in the Screwed Up Their Courage. It was the hour of family confi dences. Mr. Buggins had finished his evening papers, and in slippers and dressing gown was toasting his toes before the asbestos fire log. while the wife of his bosom was putting a few stitches in the table cover she was doing for Aunt Mary, and which she hoped to havo finished by Christmas. "I did something today that I've been screwing up my courage to do for a long time," said Mrs. Buggins. "Yes?" said Mr. Buggins, mildly in terested. "What was it?" "You know that odious Mrs. Bjones?" replied Mrs. Bugglnsr "Well, I paid her a call that I have owed for nearly a year." "My dear, I can sympathize with you," said Mr. Buggins. "Today, by a strange coincidence I paid that odious Mr. Bjones a bill I had owed him for quite aa long." most terrible way. and aakev? me how I dar?d to come between husband and wife, because divorce or no divorce, whom God hath joined together, and so on. And when Jim picked up his courage in both hands and tried tc interfere, she pushed him back with one hand while she pointed the othei at me and called me a Jezebel. CHAPTER XIX. The Harbison Man. She talked for an hour, having gd between me and the door, and shfl scolded Jim and Bella thoroughly. But they did not hear it, being oc cupied with each other, sitting side by side meekly on the divan with Jim holding Bella's hand under a cushion. She said they would have to be very good to make up for ?ll the deception, but it was perfectly clear that it was a relief to her to find that I didn't belong to her permanently, and as 1 have said before, she was crazy about Bella. I sat back in a chair and grew com fortably drowsy in the monotony of her vojce. It was a name that brought me to myself with a jerk. "Mr. Harbison!" Aunt Selina was saying. "Then bring him down at once, James. I want no more decep tion. There is no use cleaning a i house and leaving a dirty corner." "It will not be1 necessary for me to stay^and see it swept," I said; muster ing the rags she had left of my self respect, and trying to pass her. But she planted herself squarely before me. "Yon can not stir up a dust. Uko this, young woman, and leave other people to sneeze In it," she said grim ly. And I stayed. I sat, very small, on a chair in a corner. I felt like Jezebel, or what ever ber name was, and now the Har bison man was coming, and he was going to see me stripped of my pre tensions to domesticity and of a hus band who neglected me. He was go ing to see me branded a living lie, and he would hate me because I had put him in a ridiculous position. He was jus?, the sort to resent being ri diculous. Jim brought him down in a dress ing-gown and a state of bewilderment It waa. plain that the memory of the afternoon still rankled, for he was very short with Jim and Inclined to resent the whole thing. The clock in the hall chimed half after three as they came down the stairs, and I heard Mr. Harbison stumble over something in the darkness and say that if it was a joke, he wasn't In the humor for it To which Jim retorted that it wasn't anything resembling a joke, and for heaven's sake not to walk on his feet: He couldn't get around the furniture any faster. At the door of the den Mr. Harbi son stopped, blinking in the light Then, wnen he saw us, he tried to back himself and his dishabille out Into the obscurity of the library. But Aunt Selina was tn r~- Mrn tittil!. J-J tl .-. other?" "I am the other," she announced, ? think she expected him to say "Impos sible," but, whatever he was. he waa never banal. "Is that so?" he asked politely, try ing to be interested and to under? stand at the same time. He had not seen me. He was gazing fixedly at Bella, languishing on the divan and watching him with lowered lids, and he had given Jim a side glance of con tempt. But now he saw me and he colored under his tan. His neck blush ed furiously, being much whiter than his face. He kept his eyes on mine, and I knew that he was mutely ask ing forgiveness. But the thought of what was coming paralyzed me. My eyes were glued to his as they had been that first evening when ho had called me "Mrs. Wilson," and after an instant he looked away, and his face was set and hard. "It seems that wo have all been playing a little omedy, Mr. Harbi son," Aunt Selina began, nasally sar castic. "Or, rather, you and I have been the audience. The rest have played." "I-I don't think I understand," he said slowly. "I have seen very little comedy." "It was not well planned," Aunt Se lina retorted tartly. "The idea waa good, but the young person who wa? playing the part of Mrs. Wilson overacted." "Oh, come, Aunt Selina," Jim pro tested, "Kit was coaxed and cajoled into this thing. Give me fits if you like; I deserve all I get But let Kit alone-she did it for me." Bella looked over at me and smiled nastily. "I would stop doing things for Jim, Kit," she said. "It is so unprofitable." But Mr. Harbison harked back to Aunt Selina's speech. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Quite True. "What do you think that madcap Gladys said when I persuaded her to read Dante's inferno' to improve her taste?" "What was lt?" "That it was such a pity there were no postcards Jn those days, for pic tures of Dante's Journey would havo been such hot stuff." Merely a Suspicion. "If so many noblemen who come over here are broke, how do they manage to get across the water?" "Don't know, I'm sure, but I've seen waiters on board trans-Atlantic liners who had quite an air." He Saw Wood. The tramp who was told to say nothing and saw wood the next morn ing knocked at another door but a%it nothing because he saw wood. Feather THE liking for feather trimmings keeps growing, and manufactur ers keep pace with it by turning out more remarkable feather work than has ever been shown in the past. m What with color combina tions made possible by "willowing" ostrich, and the furore which has de veloped for the softest and fluffiest marabout effects, and combinations of ostrich and marabout, there is an un ending variety in these plumages. But it would seem every bird of the air has been called upon for inspiration If not for feathers. In reality only a small proportion of the bird tribe are killed solely for plumage, and many lovely fancy feathers are made from the- feathers of domestic fowls. These feathers are in themselves beautiful. But the demand for variety and the availability of feathers from the tur key, pigeon, peacock and plain, every day chicken has made the designer of feathers work wonders with their plumage. Many of the daintiest and most frag?'? ww??- -. There is a prodigious craze for ear rings, and they are made very long, with the upper part of the drop, in some cases, scarcely more than a wire. ?One silver pair of this sort seen recently twinkled at the ears and bottom with rhinestones set en cabochon. Other earrings come with the ear gem and drop in glass in every color to match the gown-green, cherry, purple, gray and black ear rings of this sort are abundant and cheap. But the long ear bob is only effective with a low gown, and on the street it always seems a trifle too bizarre. Genuine seed pari necklaces come in twisted ropes for twenty-four dol lars. These are worn with collarless frocks by young persons with good throatF. and they are worn also with tho deepest mourning. The same short necklaces can sometimes be found In Japanese seed pearls, which are more irregular than the others, but quite as effective. The dainty gewgaws are about the most stylish neck fixings seen, and they make suit able presents for a girl. The snake bangle of real or Imita tion jade has ousted most other sorts of bracelets. When it is the real thing it may cost from nine dollars up. The paste Jade trifle ls sold at ninety eight cents, and to any but an expert lt looks as good as the real. A shirt-waist or tailor-gown ring is a pretty fixing made of dull silver set with paste sapphires in the real gem colors. For Rainy Days. At the ends of a yard cf half-inch tflde elastic, sew a large hook and aye; clasp this around the body be low the hips, and draw the skirts to any desired height under a raincoat. This is useful, especially when one must wear an evening dress in the street on a rainy night. It leaves the hands free; and cer tainly it is better than tearing the fabric with safety pins. COMING STYLE IN TRIMMING Some Cardinal Points That Are Sure to Be in Vogue for the Hats of Fall. ir you propose to trim your fall hat yourself, you cannot go far wrong if you place a pert pair of wings or a sharp pointed bow directly at the back, and thfe back trimming must show a trifle above the high crown, from a front view. Many of the hats may be reversed and worn any way that proves becoming. For example, the smart little hat of velvet with a rolled brim faced with a lighter col ored material and having a pair of Mercury wings directly in front, might be whipped around the other way if one desired, so that the wings would come at the back and the hat would be equally modish and correct. This hat has the very tall pointed "tor pedo" crown and is perfectly round at the base. The crown is covered with brown velvet and the wings are brown with flecks of coral pink color. This model promises to be a favorite vith younger women. The hat is Novelties t very desirable and may be washed in I soap suds, rinsed and beaten against the hand until dry, with perfect suc cess. . Bands, wings, crown pieces and masses of plumes are the rule. More splendid than the head dress of the savage and almost as strikingly in evidence are these pieces. Women or fashion wear everything in feathers from the single quill with wonderful mottled coloring from the owl and eagle, to the Pocahontas wreath of wings. A sentiment has been assid uously nursed and gradually grown against certain plumage, but the lack of this seems to promote the use of other feathers. Some states have forbidden the sale or purchase of the hero.: crest, and lt is amazing that imitations have Immediately taken the place of these feathers, which seem to serve every purpose of the original. Ostrich continues to be the great favorite. It is used in a world of new mountings. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. NEW PARIS MODEL This new and atrtactive waist is of bright pink silk voille, covered with a sort of overblouse of white llnon, beautifully embroidered with Madeira embroidery. A New Ccat. Have you seen the new hackabout coats for winter, and, if so, don't they strike you as about the most sensible decree Dame Fashion has issued for some time? Made of the heavy polo cloth, soft and warmth giving, they are sure successfully to ward off the pinching fingers of old Jack Frost, who would be infinitely discouraged by a look Into some of the shop win dows. One tan-colored model had a small sailor collar and cuffs of hunt er's green, all of the same material. Black with white collar and cuffs, ox ford gray with purple or scarlet, tan with white and brown and navy with red are the popular combinations. Poke Bonnet In Felt. Soft felt hats in white, faced with black velvet, a wide band of black vel vet or heavy white grosgrain ribbon being their only trimming, are the lat est. They are worn with quite dressy gowns Just at present, that ls, the same gowns of lingerie or linen with which the black velvet is worn for more formal occasions. worn, as the picture shows, slightly tipped back on the head. Winterhalter Girls. The appreciation for sloping shoul ders, a synonym in the middle of last century fe- all that was shrinking and tender and essentially feminine, is no ticed again now, and the evening as pect of the debutante is that of Win terhalter's portraits of the believes of 1840 and thereabouts. The corsage is worn low upon the shoulders, and the outline is very simple, a few folds of gauze drawn beneath a large rose in the center suggesting the berthe of old times that made so beautiful a frame for the figure. Many of today's debutantes have a charming faculty for applying to their own use the prettiest fashions of early Victorian days, modifying, or as they would say improving upon them, it is needless to remark. They dress their hair with the demure and simple grace of that period without its severity, and wear the chaplet of leaves and foliage that used to be al most an essential badge of girlhood with a new and very alluring grace.
