We have secured the serial rich*' for this story in our paper and will begin its publication in a few days* The following comments by one who has been p. ur.ittcd to see the opening chapters will give our ’readers a suggestion of the treat in store for them: “Equal partners” in what? There is. a mystery locked up In this title. \nd in seeking Its solution the first person we meet Is Brenda. She is somewhat of an enigma herself. The author calls her “the smooth product of all the so cial refinements.” But that may mean a great many things. After reading of the stubbing of the actress why should Brenda wish to go to the scene of the crime? The broker’s name mentioned In the newspaper account may have something to do with it. Why should the policemen whom Brenda meets in the doorway "seem to fill ail the space and their heads to tower to the housetop?” And then it is very strange that the policemen should exchange glances when Brenda Inquires with anxiety if the actress is dead. But .New York policemen an’ very suspicious. That’s a queer police captain whose picture we get in a few bold strokes of tlu- pen—“medium stature and very heavy, having the buiM of an ape, with preposterously long arms, which swung aimlessly when he moved. * * * brutal ly cynical and smiling without pur pose.” True, “a man may smile ami smile and smile and yet may he a— gentleman.” What bothers me is that I do .lot see why his gaze should fas cinate Brenda and why he should not permit her to leave tlx- house after the actress lias been carried away in an ambulance. Now Brenda appears N-tter. In an elegant room “in ’he presence of Dr. Blair, whose manner was that of tin- world wherein"she had moved, Brenda gains part of her self possession.” The author evidently did not intend that “smooth” should have a sinister mean ing. Still there is something mysteri ous alnuit Brenda. She tells the doctor that she obeyed "an unaccountable Impulse” in coming to the house. And why should she turn wake and wring her hands? But now we are coifing to some thing. Brenda is confessing that Al- den, the broker mentioned' in the news paper account of the crime, was au ac quaintance of hers. And so there is a man in the ease this time—at the bot tom of it, perhaps. That was a fervid love letter of the broker to the actress. It would do to go with “The Love Letters of an English Woman.” It was very incon siderate in that police captain to want Brenda to go into the room where the actress was stabbed. Of course Bren da would turn faint. I don’t like that police captain. The next chapter will doubtless explain Brenda to my entire satisfaction. Bategville, Ala., July 11, IHOO.

In Elsie’s room, after giving his opinion of how the murder was done, this po lice captain (I find my aversion to him growing) “turned to Brenda with a questioning leer.” He even admits that he thinks the murderer may have been a w’oman. But what is this? Dr. Blair saw a well dressed young woman leave the house about the time the crime was committed and go in the direction of Broadway. It was on Broadway we first met Brenda. But ihe d(X’tor is sure he would not know the woman if he were to see* her again. Notwithstanding Captain Neale's in nuendoes, Brenda bears herself admi rably. It is true that she contradicts herself, hut oil of us do that some times. And that police <aptain with the ape arms is so horrid! But I would like to know why Brenda is so much interested In Elsie, whom she has never seen. Perhaps the next chapter will tell. Get ihe.

The thrifty housewife looks ahead and makes her own or her children’s summer clothes in January, when the first new summer materials may be bought. Possibly one cannot find as many bargains at this season, but the saving in time makes up, 1 think, for the little extra outlay. One is also saved the scramble to rush things through at the last moment when the warm weather i- at hand. There are certain things in dress which change comparatively little from one season to another. For in stance, white duck skirts of comfort able walking length are necessary for almost every one nowadays and can be made early in the year, and so much is finished. A short skirt is really indispensable nowadays. An old one may be cut into the proper length for a walking skirt which is two inches from the ground. It should be made with a deep hem, and closely stitched pockets are both ornamental and useful. They should be deep and wide and finished with lapHs of the cloth stitched and buttoned down flatly, ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Mrs Meek Smith has returned to her home in Clover.

Mention tbU paper The plot thickens and the mystery deepens. Alden ImpreKses me very fa vorably, but Brenda gives me a shock when site almost fa+nts at sight of the knife with which the stabbing was done. But the dramatic way in which Captain Neale exitosed it was enough to make any woman of refinement faint. Police captains are nothing if not spectacular. So Brenda was not Miss Williams, as she had announced herself to the policemen at the door, hut the daugh ter of Duncan Maclane, a prominent millionaire. And here Is a poser: “Dr. Blair,” she whispered, “you will not say it was I whom you saw leaving this house?” Now Captiin Neale begins his inqui sition again. At any rate, we shall learn something about the New York police and their methods. Brenda en- ) gngisl to Alden? And the engagement broken that day? This grown excit ing. Alden arrested for the crime—for stabbing the girl whom he loved! Ab- surd. What blunderers these police are! All, here Is the explanation— “And by tin- way, Neale, you don’t think Alden d'd this thing, do you?” “Not on your life,” said the cap^xln. I thought Alden was very rash to quarrel with Captain Neale, telling him of his ha I retaliation.
