A Case in Point*
By
LOUISE. BLAKE .
i, , .
" k WOMAN'S code of honor!" Hi i
laughed, aa If he considered l1 i
rather a good joko. "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. Years and
years and years ni<<> lie became engaged.
The girl was a hahyof 18, and he was even
more a huliy of in. They loved asbablet
of IX and 1'J will lovo, and life jvjxb a
beautiful dream."
"Was she pietty?"
" Ye? "
"Hut?she lacked tho certain uwineof
honor?"
"She had the woman's code. She
would read her Hlhle all night to a dying
pauper, and the next night would
aend some fellow who loved her, whom
die had nmd< love her, straight to the
devil Her name was1 Constance.

.it a Herman university, and they wrote
to each other ever) week. 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

' 'Conptanco la calling?oallJnR?oallin?.

look, then (luietl v nut it back- fac? ilown

" 'Digging- digging ? digging ?ah!
the spade struck n roek!'
" 'Fever,' rnld tho doctor; 'extreme 1
mental tension; outlook tedious?prob- 1
ably fatal."
"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

she becomes his wife?"
"Hut Coustance? Suroly your honorable
friend answered her letter?"
I lie looked up with a frown, but

architect had requested to be sent, and

gave him a grim, realizing sense
j that he had played a pitiful part.
"Tell your frisnd not to send that

"lOdlth!" ho cried, sharply. "Edith!"
She liad risen and was slowly drawinn

"ICdlth! Do you know what you are

"I? Oh, 1 am simply living up to a

down into his white face. "Tell him

IIotv to I'reaa Cloth.
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.
Thinner goods are handled the same way
with succcss. The process, of course, in
that followed hy all tallora and calicd
"sponging," except that no pressing fedlows
the dampness of new cloth. It bej
ing merely spread smooth and left to dry.
