C H A P T E R X I. V ✓ Dinner at Chevy Chase was nearing its close. Along the broad, trellised veranda*, hung with Chinese lantern* and vivid potrters, were dotted the small, round ta bles, each surrounded by half a dozen members and their guests, whose chatter rose interruptedly. Ix)oking around him, his impression able senses pleasantly thrilled by the light, the color, the movement o f the gay scene, the mock Prince del Pino felt an exhilaration, a rich enjoyment o f the present, which was not entirely due to the champagne he had drunk. This was to be his last night— he told himself that, as he had many a time be fore during his Washington, week, with the secret consciousness that the morrow would find him still on the stage, playing his part to the same appreciative audi ence. Like most successful actors, Lu- dovic Sarto had become dependent on the glare o f the footlights. H e really could not tear himself away, could not make up his mind to give up the rale which had become second nature to him. Seated at Mrs. W aring’s right, with five other chosen spirits surrounding her table, himself the bright, particular lu minary o f the occasion, the mock prince kept the talk and laughter up to concert pitch, while efficient waiters kept him supplied with the delicacies which his sybaritic soul craved, while on every aide stretched vistas very grateful to the eye o f the exiled European. “ One could almost fancy oneself at a Parisian cafe in the Bois,” he acknowl edged, with a reminiscent sigh. Gussie met his glance smilingly. In deed. her attention had been pretty obvi ously consecrated to him throughout the entire meal, much to the disgust o f her host, a stodgy Senator, at whose right hand she sat. "Yes, it is a bit .like Paris,” she assent ed, in answer to the other remark. “ T h e open-air restaurant effect, and then the cosmopolitan type o f the crowd !” "T h e c ro w d !’’ echoed the mock prince. H e shrugged his shoulders, lowering his voice significantly, then, in rapid French, “ Must there always be the crowd? Can one never see you alone?” His heavy eyes met hers for the fraction of a min ute. “ Remember, I am to drive yon back in my m otor!” Gnasie’a answer waa drowned in the sudden rattle o f chairs as the people at the tables rone to their feet. “ No, I shall not fo r g e t!” ahe smiled at him over her shoulder, moving off and leading the way towards the veranda steps. A moment later the little party were out on the lawn. grouped under the dense shadow o f a copper beech, its rustling tops blotting the night sky. Settling him self some distance from Mrs. W aring, now tete-a-tete with her host, Sarto lean ed back lazily in the wide garden chair, a curiously sardonic smile on his lips, as he watched the Senator eagerly making the most o f Guasie’s brief attention. H ow little he imagined— this man of politics and money— that, under the Prince del Pino’s mask, a very humble rival had already distanced him ! How little the woman opposite realised that her hopes, inclinations and ambitions wera a ll cantered a n —-her ex-chauffeur! During the- w hole course o f Sarto’» present perilous career never had his star »eemed more in the ascendant, never had the winning cards seemed more certainly in his grasp, than at that very moment, when fate, in the person o f a middle-aged Russian diplomat, was pursuing him all unconsciously over the Chevy Chase lawn. “ Ah. Meeses W a reen g!” A t the sound o f the fam iliar sibilant tones, Sarto leaned forward with a start, hardly able to believe his eyes and his ears. For, standing under the beech tree only a few feet away, shaking, bands effusively with Gussie, was a lithe, well- known shadow. “ W ell, you are a gad-ahout!” Mrs. W aring was ejaculating. “ One minute in Newport, the next in Washington, and welcome everywhere. P rin c e !” she rais ed her voice. “ Here is a joyfu l surprise. Your long-lost friend Count Souravieff!" ( T o be continued.) DRESSED DOG AS BABY.

It has been known for several years that spraying a field with blue vitriol would kill mus tard without injuring the grain which Is growing. But the attendant expense has been the chief objection to a wide use. The Wisconsin station hiyi been making some testa with copperas, or iron sulphate, that indicate that It is quite as effective aa the bluestone, and cheaper, as 60 cents will furnish enough to treat an acre. Sim ilar successful ex I>erlments have been made with copper as by the Cornell station. Some three years ago the California station tried spraying with blue vitriol to bold in check mustard on Its cereal plantings at Yuba City and came to the same conclusions as did the Wisconsin sta tion. At D avis during the present sea son experiments in a limited w ay were tried with copperas, but owing to the lack o f facilities for properly applying the compound results were not satisfac tory.

The quality of these tomatoes is stated to be good and the prices low. Large quantities o f canned tomatoes are also shipped now each season from Italy to the eastern part of the United States, and the American shipments to Italy are much smaller than formerly. It Is suggested by one of the leading Import ers in Liverpool that the American to matoes are frequently packed before they are fully ripe, and that this prac tice' renders them undesirable fo r jse The Italian tomatoes are carefuly so lected, and are only packed after they have attained a<ripe and rich color.
