"I am Hone) In th crowd, too," he
rejoined. "If I thought Floyd would

fou would do ma ao much honor aa
to co to th theater with me. thla
vening."
Her gray eyes widened, the color
flushed through her transparent akin.
Suddenly and vividly Stanton waa re
minded of Floyd's face on the Brat
night when ha forked the mechanl
lan to race with htm for the season.
"Tou are asking me?" ahe doubted.
"I would like to do ao. Put not if
Tou think Floyd would refuse to let
me. If he were here. He cant hav
much of an opinion of me."
"I wish I might tell you what Jea
thlnka of you," she made grave an
wer. "1 am quite sure that he would
let me go with you, Mr. Stanton; you
are very good and I thank you from
the bottom of my heart.
The little old Irishwoman In black

bewildered by a sense of having seen
Floyd and yet not seen him. Stanton
went down Into the practical city
street
He spent two hours In selecting an
Irreproachable play and theater; a
task of some delicacy in this his na
tive town. After which, he ate a per
functory dinner and went home to
dress. Stanton, whose overbearing
willfulness spared no one, whose
rough tongue hurt hla mechanician aa
often as they met, would no more
have taken Floyd's sister to dine with
him In a public restaurant without
Floyd's permission, than ha would
have stolen hla purse.
It waa a dazzling Jessica whom be
found waiting for him. at the appoint
ed hour. Tet the waa almply gowned
In delicate gray, with demure lace
collar that came up to her round chin,
and long lace sleeves. It waa her
Vivid, expressive face; the bronze
curia massed under the wide gray
hat, the splendid glow and young vi
tality of her, that made people look
and look again. Stanton approved of
her unreservedly; he had fixed mas
culine notions of what women should
wear in public placet.
On her left arm, over the transpar
ent sleeve, she wore an antique silver
bracelet fully four Inches in breadth;
a singular ornament, set with dull tur
quoise matrix. When Stanton assist
ed her to remove her cloak, at the
theater, aha suddenly winced.
"The bracelet It caught my arm,"
she explained, before he could ques
tion. "It Is too heavy, really, to
wear."
But nevertheless, she did not take
It off, and several tlmea through the
evening touched her gloved finger to
the silver band as if to assure her
self that it was in place, A souvenir,
perhaps, Stanton Idly reflected. He
waa too much Interested In the wear
er to pay heed to the bracelet. Except
for the hours passed with Floyd, he
had never experienced anything like
thia satisfying companionship.
The performance had ended, and
Stanton was carefully piloting hia
charge through the alow-moving mass
of people, when be beard hla own
name exclaimed. lie glanced around,
and saw Valerie Carlisle coming
down the stairs from the boxes, her
large, amber eyes fixed upon him.
Under the strong light, in ber elab
orate pale-green gown, ber shoulders
bare and showing satin-wblte where
her cloak had slipped back, ber blonde
hair circled with a wreath of green
enameled and jeweled leaves, she was
conspicuous enough to draw the
glanoet of all those passing, as well
at that of the man she called. Stan
ton bowed and would have continued
on hit way, but she called a second
time, adding a gesture of summont.
"Mr. Stanton!"
Evidently she expected htm to ex
cuse himself momentarily from hit
companion, at she had moved a few
teps from her father and the younger
gentleman who accompanied her. but
Stanton's eyes glinted cold resistance
of the attempt at command. He de
liberately retained Jessica's hand
' upon hia arm and, since he must go,
led ber with him.
"Tou called me, Mist Carlisle?" be
questioned. "Miss Floyd, let me in
troduce Mist Carlisle."
The two women bowed without ef
fusion, Valerie Carlisle scrutinizing
Jessica with an acute attention that
seized every detail of her appearance.
"Mist Floyd, have we not met?" she
puzzled. "Pardon, it seems so to me."
"Probably you have met my twin
brother," Jessica suggested, gravely
self possessed. "He la much with
Mr. Stanton."
There was a shock of antagonism
la their meeting gaze, aa there bad
been between Floyd and this girl
when he had aeen ber in the railroad
depot on the way to Lowell. Misa
Carlisle turned to Stanton, enlight
ened. "Oh, your mechanician; 1 remem-
V )LEANOR M
"My friend and mechanician, yea,'
he amended.
"Ah? But I am detaining you I
merely wished to ask If you had quit
recovered from your illness. When
you left ua that night, 1 never imag
ined you would try to race next morn
ing. And you should not have done
ao; It resulted in an accident."
He opened hla llpa to deny that hla
illness had caused the Mercury's mis
hap, then paused. If he had not felt
the average Irritability of a strong man
sick, would he have quarreled with
Floyd and taken hla car. around the
turn at such ruinoua apeed? He did
not know.
"I am perfectly well, thank you,"
he answered. Instead.
"Indeed, I am glad. Will you not
come to see us soon you owe ut
dinner call, you know."
He did not echo her delicately ex
pectant smile, his dark face bard.
"Tou must believe my appreciation
of the dinner without that formality.
Miss Carlisle. I start for Indiana in
a few days," he regretted.
Her amber eyea also hardened, sud
denly and strangely; abe moved step
to retire, catching up her trailing
lengths of satin and lace.
"As you will, of course. Ah; we
found out what car wlna when you
are taken from a race, Mr. Stanton,
aa at Lowell. And you judged wrong
It waa not the Duplex, but the Ata
lanta. Good night."
Stanton looked after her, amazed.
then abruptly turned hla eyea to the
frank, ateadfaat face of Jessica Floyd.
"Come out In the fresh air," be re
quested. "That perfume she wears
smothers one."
"Sandalwood," Interpreted Jessica,
turning: she had her brother's habit
of Instantly obeying a suggestion.
And aa they emerged: "May I say
something -interfering and imperti
nent?" "What right have I to object to any
thing said to me? I show small grace)
to others."
"Then, pray do not go near Mist
Carlisle just before a race."
He atopped short on the sidewalk.
"You know you think"
"I know only what Jes knows," she
declared. "But I think that Mist Car
lisle la not good for your racing. Some
people are naturally unlucky influ
ences, perhaps."
Stanton shook hla head, unbegulled
by the pleasantry.
'I understand what Floyd believes.

"Miss Floyd, Let Me Introduce Miss

It it to her Interest for me to win;

"Yes," agreed Jessica impersonally.
When be left ber. In the faintly light
ed ball before the door of her apart
ment, she drew off ber glove with a
swift movement.
"My father used to say that one
only offered a covered band to an en
emy," she said half playful, half seri
ous, oood night.
There was a tinkling crash, before
he could reply. Stanton bent and re
covered her wide silver bracelet, shak
en loose by her rapid gesture of the
previous moment
"May I put it on?" he asked.
But the held out her hand for the
Medical Value of Spices

The spices are a very Interesting
group of substances; tbey are the
foundation of a considerable Industry,
they have their medical uses and final
ly are of special importance in dietet
ics. Their value resides In their richness
in aromatic tubstaocet and essential
oils; strictly speaking, tbey are not
foods, but often enough they are es
sential elements In the diet. Splcet

Splcet were tbown to arouse appe

Important one. The medicinal action
of some of tbem Is further of value.

"No, it la too heavy," she declined.
"Good night. I have enjoyed this eve

In hla own hotel apartment, when
he drew off hla gloves, Stanton wat
puzzled to find his right fingers slight
ly stained with crimson. Slowly mem
ory brought back the fact, unnoticed
at the time, that Jessica's bracelet
had been warm and damp to the touch
when he picked It up. It had cut ber

she bad not spoken of the hurt or

Only be wished that her eyea were

fused him.
CHAPTER VI It.
Team-Mated.
Floyd returned Stanton's rail after
a fashion of bis own. aotne days later.
"There's a gentleman down stairs to
see you, air," the bell-boy brought in
formation to the latter, one afternoon.
"He won't come up because he says he
can't leave hla automobile, but he'd be
glad If you'd come down, sir."
Stanton looked at the card presented,
and rose with alacrity.
Hla mechanician was In the hall,
gazing acrosa the wide windowa at a
low-swung, long-bonneted, dull gray
motorcar that stood by the curbstone;
a car stripped as bare of every super
fluous belongings aa a pugilist enter
ing the ring. At the hiss of the de
scending elevator be turned to meet
Stanton with his amile of aun-shot
cordiality.
"I waa afraid to let your machine
out of my sight." he exclaimed. "She
Is going on to Indiana, to-night, and
the chief wanted you to see her first
There wasnt time to get you out to the
factory, after fixing her steering busl
ness the way you wanted, so they tent
her down for you to look over. The
chief sent word for you to try her out
anywhere you liked and he would pay
the cost If you got In trouble, but to
get her shipped west to-night unless
she had to go back to the factory, for
there were rumors of a strike among
the train men and we might not be
able to get her through In time for the
race."
"Who drove her down here?" Stan.
ton demanded, casting a jealous
glance out the window, but accepting
the facts more amiably than could
have been expected.
"The chief, until be left me at the
avenue corner, just now. tie saia
never mind."
"Oh, go ahead."
"Weil, he said he had been a racing
driver himself and knew" how you
would feel about having your car
yanked thirty miles across country
roads by another driver; and. er that
he guessed that be was the only man
in the shops who'd care to tell you he
had done It."
"I'll get some driving things," sug
gested Stanton, and went back to the
elevator.
When he joined Floyd beside the big
car, be stood for a moment busied with
the clasp of bia gauntlet, before at
tempting to start
"Miss Floyd told you of my call, the
other day?" be queried.
"Tes, of course. I was sorry to be
away; I had never thought of your
hunting me up."
"You did not object to my taking her
out? There was no way of asking you."
This from the self-willed Stanton!
Floyd's eyet glinted with an apprecia
tion at once humorous and touched.
"Object? Why? You could take
care of her," he countered.
"Fix the spark," bade Stanton, and
went front to crank bis motor.
"We'll not get half a block without
drawing every mounted policeman for
ten miles." Floyd called, above the
roar of the exhausts. "We ought to
have made ready by putting on a few
dozen mufflers."
"What time must she be shipped?"
"We must have her at the Mercury
office by six o'clock, unless you say she
haa to go back to the factory."
"It Is after four, now. No time to
try the Long Island course, and there
la a motor-cycle race on tbe Beach
track. Get Into your seat; well take
Pelbam Parkway."
"Pelham Parkway! Why"
"Have you anything better to pro
pose?" "It's a first offense." Floyd resigned
himself. "They can't do worse than
fine you."
Stanton shrugged bis sbouldert, and
the car rolled forward.
Tbe Mercury glided through tbe
teeming, congested streets, and left
faultless record behind ber. Not a
traffic officer's slightest signal wat dis
regarded, no speed regulations were
materially fractured; Stanton drove
like a law-abiding chauffeur from the
suburbs, and until they wer In the
park.

j the simple ones that are mi's t ef
fective, for I am sure that we have all
leen the kind that are so overtrimmed
that they look positively hot.
Secret of Daintiness.
It Isn't necessary to have a frock
full up with expensive laces to make
tt dainty, nor yet to spend months lu
working up designs In hand embrol
lery. A simple model of white mer
cerized or cotton voile Is always at
tractive In combination with a fine
ver eyelet embroidery. The plas
tron collar Is particularly good for
covering a passe blouse, and, of
sourse. for growing girl the attrac
tive fold at the bottom of the skirt is
uite an effective way for lengthening
the skirt.
But It always seems quite a problem
to find a fitting finish to a dainty col
lar, flounce or anything made of eye
let embroidery. Of course, It It pos-
ible to acallop and buttonhole the
edges, but that takea a great amount
of time, and hardly teems practical.
A piping Is always a help, and may
often lend a color note to a dead white
gown. Though thy are quite popular
at present, they are, as a rule, mostly
in tbe form of cordlhgs. When mak
ing cordings the material should be
cut on a true bias, about an Inch to
an Inch and a quarter In width, and be
sure to press all the seams at the
joinings before putting In the cording.
After laying the cording In the cen
ter of the material, fold it over and
run a row of stitching, as close to the
cord as possible. Some find that ma
chine stitching Is quite all right, but
to me, the hand sewing Is much more
satisfactory. There Is an easy meth
od for cutting bias, and If I can ex
plain It clearly enough I know you will
find It a bIp, for one I so apt not to
get all the seams on the same side and
often the width will vary.
Getting True Bias.
Fold down a corner of your mate
rial to find a true blaa a straight line
ou the cross of the material laid ou
tbe selvage line will determine the
true blat line. Then measure down
the desired width In two or three
places and join tbem with a straight
line, either In the tailors' chalk or
lead pencil, preferably ruled repeat
this until you have measured off the
desired length of the bias. Then,
placing one corner of the blat to the
Waists With Basques.
Very pretty lace blouses with waist
belts of colored allk, and basques
front and back, but rut away on the
hips, are being a good deal worn.
They are particularly becoming to
slim people, and one wat seen this
week which looked very well with a
trim back moire skirt. It wat In
Irish lace with long sleeves, turned
back collar ami cuffs of black molt
and a folded waist belt of the same.
The basque behind was about a foot

a help ou a dainty frock of v. bit

the problem of some now idea for Its
use.
Use of FKHng.
Tho use of filling ou a dainty frock.

quite a help lu getting a pretty effect
In ntittlii It lu. care must be taken
that th seams are straight before
applying the lining. Thru stllin it
ton the sewing machine! aa close as
possible to the. tiny eyelets, without
letting the stitching run Into them.
Then cut the material of the frock
quite close to the seam and hem th
material of the filling over It so that
the folded edge will come ou a line
ntth the machine stitching.
I think that you will find that on
froks of mercerized voile or marquis
ette that are trimmed lth th "self"
trimming, a dainty color note can b
suggested by Introducing liny rose
buds of pal blue or pink chiffon,
hire and there along the puttings
around the neck, belt and sleeves. On
some of the frocks thut do not sug

lint and really make tip effectively.
Another new feature about the most
fashionable frocks Is the vest or un

the models, tin those of a lingerie
type the uuderdress miiy bo of any
style of lace, from a large on pat

Is also suggested In the collar and
cuffs. In many cases this panel ar
rangement Is seen with a row of but
tons on either side, or some button
loops on side, and buttons lu tbelr
matching places on the other.
Buttons for Lingerie Frock.
On the lingerie type of frock the
tiny crochet buttons are the most at
tractive, although yoj may find them
rather expensive, but a friend of mine
has a rsther practical "stunt," as she
calls It. for tiny buttons of this sort.
She will buy the white ball fringe
and cut off the tiny b:ills that really
make the mot attractive buttons, and
are much lea expensive. For the but
ton loops a silk cord Is perhaps the
easiest to hiind'e. and for a finished
loop of about an Inch or so, four
Inches will be required.
Tbe cord should be joined first,
folded In half ami then, putting a
knot at one end. Is ready to be ap
plied to the frock.
When Joining the two ends of the
cord I think you will find the joining
less noticeable If the strands (If there
are two) are rut an Inch shorter at
each end. then the two longer one
ran be twlxted together until they
meet the shorter ones. Of course If
the cord has three strands there
should be two short one at one end
and one short one at the other.
For tht Color Note.
If a color note Is suggested In the
panel at the front of the frock, th
button loops might also be of that
rotor, unlng a bins strip of Satin,
either corded or plain.
lH) you worry over what would be
an appropriate wrap to wear with the
lingerie frocks of the summer. They
are usually made of a silk taffeta,
rharrneuFe or mensallne or of a
thin msterlal like silk voile or mar

to make, for they require only shout
three yards of material for the aver

They are tisunlly made of a rather
bright rolor and may lj worn effect

afternoon frocks as well as those that
are quite lacy. The Color of the

the frock, and many tlmea aa well In
