"I own," she said i ns she tilted her paraaol to shield hli ' face as well as her own from the rayi of white, quivering sunlight, "that i woman does not boast of her honor at a man boasts of his. No," she wen on, slowly, "a woman never talks hei ; code of honor; she lives it." "Of course sho does?in a way," in answered, reassuringly. "A woniai goes to church on Sunday, she sends hei dimes to foreign missions, and her dollars to college settlements. She doei all that soil of thing; hist where is hei code of honor in tho treatment of tin women about her, and the men about her?especially the men about her?" "Especially the men about her!" nh< repeated. "Just an if a woman treatu 2 man with one-half the duplicity wit! which hu treats her!" lie threw back his head and laughed at her. "It in the same old story," she went on, half scornfully, "the old serrnoi that perfidious man has alwayspreachec against innocent woman." "Why. take the affairs we hnnr <?f every day," ho said, "the things thai happen to our friends. Do you know what It is that changes the poor little farces Into high tragedies? It is woman's lack of candor, her lack of a certain seiitM! of honor?" "I demand a case in point," she interrupted imperiously. "And when I prove my point?" "Then 1 shall prove mi.net" They both laughc-d. Then he looked over the green wnter fit the gray, desolate rocks. 1Mb face became serious "Wr/M, the man In question Ih not particularly strong, nor wlae, nor good ?still?" "Still ho hw. the certain sense ol iiuuur: "Yoa, lie has that. !f he had not, ! should never rake tip for your amusement the dead ashesof his i>ast.

Then he traveled, he paw the world, and In- found that life is not a beautiful dream. "Tho awakening came in Rome. It was September, and the night was hot and closes. He had gone to Ids room directly after dinner, and had started a letter to Constance. All iluit was best in him \\<*nt into these letters; all that ho was seeing, feeling. dreaming; hlu plans for the future; his memories of tho past; aW this >va crowded into lettors to the woman ho loved. Hut on this night h< found it hard to write. A low, persistent murmur in the rvom adjoining troubled him. Me thought the occupant was merely drunk, still, the sound, coining duck ceaselessly, filled Mia mlnil with vague uneasiness. Ho forced his thoughts on his letter, and wrote a page. Suddenly a brass hand, passing below his window, disturbed him. It was insolently playing 'McOlniy' playing 'Mcillnty' In tho sacred city of Homo! When tho blare of brass instruments died away In th<> distance, the haunting murmur had rison to a higher key. " God, give me life! life!' "The voice was a cry, and my friend dropped his letter and started t<? his feet. That man In tho next room was an American was 111 -was probably alone. "No ono answered IiIh knock, so he tthe knob and entered the room. The sick man sat up In lw:d and stared at him. "'You have come at last!' he cried. 'I was watching for you, grave-digger!' "The doctor, whom my friend summoned, leaned over his patient and guvo him a hurried examination. Then the doctor rubbed his hands and'murmured: "An Interesting case?interesting ami ru-nponuo.'

"The next morning tho man was rational, but in his rational moments, as well as his delirium, he talked always of Constance. He said that he was an American architect, and in his haste to get homo and marry the woman he loved, he had overworked himself in the intense heat of Itnlv t?i?v ivom nnt engAged; she knew that If she engaged herself to him, ho would never have strength to leave her. But she had promised to wait for him?promised to listen to his love when he got hack. "Sitting by the architect's bedside, my friend wrote to Constanco. It was n short letter and to the point. The next steamer brought her reply. She was distressed to learn of the architect's illness. She cared for him, believed in him, was interested in his work; but she did not love him. She had never listened to his love for her and oniy once had she Riven him u gleam of hope. It was when he came to say good-by. Partly to silence him, partly because her heart waa filled with an infinite pity for him, she had promised to listen when ho came home. What the letter lacked in honesty it made up in cleverness " "I think," said the woman at his Bide, "that I understand Constance." "The day my friend got the letter, he buried the architect in the Kn^Iisb cemetery at Rome. On his breast wSs the photograph of the woman who nad lied to him. He died trusting Constance. After that, my friend found that life, when robbed of its glamour. is ugly business. All the old faith* Were gone, the plans and dreams " llo broke off abruptly and there was silence, nave for the music of the waters. When he continued, a softer note had crept into his volco. "At last a second woman came intc his life, bringing with her hope and napplncsa. Then he found that tht boy's love is not the man's love; thai there is a love stronger, deeper, profouuder." "Doe# the Bocond woman lov??your friend ?" "Yes," he answered, looking steadily inlo hnr ovdd Hla ?.ki? ?! -??? would stake his soul on her loye. When she becomes his wife?" "Hut Coustance?

When woolen cloth Is to be pressed, hut not washed, It Is sometimes the question I of how beat to give It the dampness that I will enable the hot iron to temove folds and wrinkles. Good results are to he had by wringing a sheet out of warm water, i spreading It on a large table, arranging upon It tho piece* to he pressed and then folding or rolling all in a bundle. After lying thus for several hours, tho cloth Is evenly damp, but not wet, and all creases and fold soften to the best possible condition for t he ironing. The pressing rather than the Ironing must )>odone slowly with irons not too hot nor too cool, moving them Just fast enough to prevent one from printing Its outline on the goods. Hot enough to raise the steam, hut not hot enough to scorch the wool, is right for the irons. Ladles' cloth , treated thus loses every crease and the too cIltmlnK softness lent i? ?>? --- * ?car.
