LESTER
Martha liemis clambered off the
train just as Mrs. Phillip Metcalf
drove up to the prim little station
with its Inevitable triangle of green
grass and the bed of geraniums at the
| aide.
“You dear little idiot!” cried Mrs.
Phillip. “I’m awfully glad to see you.
Olve me your hand and I'll help you
up."
“I call that yanking me up,” pant
ed Martha, as she tufhbled In beside
her friend.
“I can't help It," laughed Mrs. Met
calf, kissing her. “I am so glad to see
you that I even drove over myself to
meet you, In spite of my duties as
hostess.
Martha settled back in the seat and
■nllfed the crisp air.
“Glorious!" she murmured.
Mrs. Metcalf smiled in sympathy.
"You always did live in the super
lative. dear. It is a wonder to me
that with your temperament you have
not married."
Martha brushed the idea away with
her hand.
"Impossible! I have trietf to recon
cile myself to some men and I can
n o t They put themselves at a dis
advantage. Most of them propose at
jom e social alfalr under the lmpres-
alon that they look Irresistible." She
paused and made a grimace. “They
look like a lot of crows.”
"Martha! M artha!" protested Mrs.
Metcalf, laughingly. "The air has
certainly gone to your head. But
where should a man propose?"
"Out of doors, of course. It Is his
natural element and woman’s, too,
only a woman appears better In the
artificial life.”
“Is that why you didn't accept Stan
ley Metcalf last year?" asked Mrs.
Metcalf, gazing off over the roll
ing country.
1
Martha flushed and hesitated.
"No-o. I just didn’t think I wanted
to get married. I couldn’t decide so
quickly."
"I don't think you know what you
want, Martha," reproved her friend,
flicking a fly from the horse's back
with the whip. "You should have
some one else to decide for you. If I
were a man I would bind you hand
and foot and carry you away."
“Then I wish you were a man," said
Martha, half seriously, as they drove
In at the gate.
A few evenings later Martha trailed
down the stalrB In a shimmering, pink
gown which surrounded her like a
soft, billowing cloud, shaded by a
crimson sunset. She was met In the
hall by her hostess.
“I have been looking for you every
where, Martha. I need another hand
at whist."
'Oh, please don't make me," plead
ed* Martha. "I am so tired and sleepy
and I don't feel a bit like whist."
'No wonder you are tired, the
tramp you took this afternoon. I'll
let you off this time; you have been
very good about playing," said Mrs.
Metcalf, pinching Martha's bare arm.
"Better go to bed; it is after eleven,”
she added, turning back lo the parlor.
"Guess I will,” agreed Martha,
starting up the stairs. She stopped
half way up, attracted by the bright
fire In th# library. “Guess I won't,"
she murmured, descending the stairs.
She paused
the door, admiring
the effect of the Are and the rose-
colored light of the chandelier; then
she moved toward the fire, uncon
scious of adding another shade to the
pink glow of the room. The small
clock on the mantel struck midnight;
she heard the guests going to their
rooms and made a half-hearted effort
to arouse herself and follow them,
but she only changed her position and
settled back in the chair.
The house was very still—so still
that when the little French clock
struck three Martha opened her eyes
and gazed at it stupidly.
"1 went to sleep," she muttered In
surprise.
She rose half way In her chair, but
sank back quickly. A muffled step
was coming across the hall. It stop
ped at the door and came Into tlie
room. She heard a stifled exclama
tion and, lifting her eyes to the mir
ror over the mantel, she saw a
masked man with a silk hat on his
head and a fur-lined coat on his arm.
Ho returned her look for a moment,
then removed his hat and came and
stood In front of her.
"I thought you were a pink ghost,"
he said in a low tone.
At the sound of his voice she drew
In her breath sharply and leaned for
ward.
"Who—who are you?" she stam
mered, her heart beating suffocating
ly
He made a slight bow and replied;
"I am a gentleman th ief!"
"You are not!” contradicted Mar
tha, flatly. “It is Impossible. I shall
ring for someone at once."
She arose, but before she had taken
a step he was In front of her.
"Do not. I beg of you," he entreat
ed. "I will go as quietly as I came
If you will tell me why you contra
dicted me. Why is It Impossible for
me to be a thief?"
"Because nothing. ' Of course you
are a thief if you wish, even if you
have a voice," she finished desper
ately.
v. "A voice?” he questioned, puzzled.
"I mean a voice like someone I
knew once," she explained, in confu
sion.
“Is It not possible that you were
deceived by his voice— hi him?" he
asked with a whimsical smile.
"Most certainly not!" she flared.
"Stanley—"
She . stopped, fright
ened, and tried to pass him. He pre
vented her by catching over her
hands and, leaning over her, trembled.
“This man. Was he anything to
you?" be demanded.
"I am not In the habit of making a
confident of anyone, least of all a
gentleman thief."
He paid no heed to the rebuke, but
drew her hands against bis breast.
"Tell me, tell me!
Do you lovi
him?" he persisted.
"You—you— ! ” she gasped.
"Tell m e!” he reiterated sharply.
"Y es!" she sobbed.
The man gave a low, triumphant
cry and caught her in his arms. In
the struggle to free herself she threw
up her hand and the mask slipped
from his face.
,
"Stanley M etcalf!" She lay In his
arms a moment, stunned by the reve
lation; then tore herself away, whltq
with rage.
"How dare you!" she cried . "How
dare you play such a cheap trick on
me?”
Martha, let me explain," he begged.
“There Is nothing to explain," she
replied. “I will not listen."
"Yes. you will," he declared. "There
was no trick about It."
"Of course not," she sneered.
He paid no heed to her words, but
continued speaking rapidly.
"I had been at a masquerade party

"Is that all?" Martha asked, coldly.
“Ÿou know the rest," he went on.
"When I saw your reflection In the
mirror my surprise was as great as
yours. I did not know that you were
visiting here."
"That explains your presence, but it
does not explain your taking advan
tage of the unusual situation to force
a confession from me," she blazed.
"When you spoke of my voice, dear,
I lost my head. I was wild to knew
the truth. If you love me why should
you not say so?" he argued.
“If that is all I think 1 will leave
you,” she said. Ignoring his last ques
tion because she could not answer It.
"No! You shall not leave me—not
after that confession.
Martha,” he
cried, In a low tone, seizing her In his
arms again.
"I hate you now!" she panted.
"O, no you don't. You will get useo
to my ways after we are married,"
he assured her, calmly.
' “Married! I did not say that I
would marry you. I will not.”
"People that love each other ought
to marry,” he reasoned, quietly step
ping lo the long window and opening
It. “We will have Just about time to
run over to G------ and be married and
be back in time for breakfast."
She stood looking at him in stupid
wonder.
"W e haven't any too much time.
It Is after four now," he Informed
her.
“You must be crazy!" she gasped.
“I am ju st coming to my senses,”
he replied. "Better put this coat on;
It is cold riding." He threw the coat
around her.
She stood facing him, defiantly.
There was a moment's silence as each
stood measuring the will power of
the other. Then with a quick move
ment the man picked her up In his
arms and stepping through the win
dow leaped lightly to the lawn. He
paused a moment and looked down In

smile.

Valenciennes lace being placed beneath
the scallops. The kimono has attrac

somewhat chilly about the neck can
easily add an Inner vest formed of
.the sash, which Is invariably Included.
I have known the sash serve this pur
pose most admirably, the odd pieces
left over being induced to cover three
large buttons, with cord buttonholes
added. Thus the kimono Is held snug
ly over the left hip, and the only
fault one has to find with this delec
table garment Is that it Is definitely
candid and disinclined without the
aid of the sash to do Its enwrapping
duty. Then again It leaves the low
er portion of the arms exposed, and
plain pongee undersleeves may be re
quired by the "chillful" mortal. An
excellent method of wearing the ki
mono and persuading It to serve as a
morning gown Is to supply it with a
complete underdress of pongee and
shirt sleeves of the same to the wrist.
Then It needs no fastenings, and will
hang with conspicuous grace. 1 would
note a capital example treated thus,
the kimono being of purple silk with
golden birds flying upon its surface,
and the facings of gold pongee, while
beneath this was a pale cream-color
ed, soft silk gown. This formed a most
picturesque morning attire, being espe

And the tunic may once more be
written down amongst ready-made ar

Indeed, on thinking It over, there are
so many ready-made things admirably
contrived and fit to please the most
exacting, that I am wondering whether
under present conditions the little
dressmaker may not find herself, like
Othelio, with her occupation gone.
There is. however, some comfort for
her In the thought that, however ad
mirable the ready-to-wear tunics may
appear, they must needs be carefully
adjusted on to rorne undsvdress be
fore they .are fit to put In their appear
ance In the best circles. A capital spe
cimen I have seen was of fine grena
dine c ’osely over-run and bordered
with tiny rainbow beads; this most suc
cessfully covered an old black satin
princess dress, which was cut to the
shortness regulated by fashion, and
draped with cerise chiffon, which, In
its turn, was overlaid with black chif
fon and hemmed with black satin;
upon this was placed the tunic with
the rainbow beaded border, while the
waist was encircled with a few folds
of black satin, and tucked In on the
left side were two cerise satin roses,
with a little spray of gold leaves.
The effect was excellent and orig
inal, too. 1 have met gladly, also, a
tunic of pale blue chiffon, bought
ready-made and overrun with pale
blue bugles, which had its appearance
considerably enhanced by u border of
skunk and a lining of pale pink. This
was mounted over an old pink satin
dress, and It tvas reccgnized as a con
