Golden Rain BTNOPB1B: Irie banning tuet hoe found her brother Owen and her Aunt Joeeyhine both 01 whom had been kept out of her Hie by the Aunt Stla with whom ehe live. Aunt Jotephine turn out to be a famoue toulurtere vhieh eteitet Irie beoauee ehe never hoe had proper elothee in her life. The money that ehtntld have been epent on her had alwaye gone to her fa ther euppoetdly a aeniue But Oven telle Irie thai their tather'e paintinae really are medioere ; that the eacriflce hae been m vain one. Chapter II CLOTHESI JRIS seemed to herself the only one who knew the difference. Aunt Ella eat In her usual dream; Uncle William of cours. had a tray, ate with relish and praised the food: Morgan was a little quieter than usual. So waa Iris: she was Inclined to think be had Interfered. Anyway, he saw things so queerly; he acted as If Owen rore trying to steal her Uncle William, with an Invalid's In terest In everything, had to hear all bout the visit, so they bad to seem, at least, to have made up. 'He's a splendid boy," he said to Morgan proudly. Morgan praised Owen politely and witched the conversation to the day's routine at the courthouse, and Iris was wickedly amused. From Phina Weatberley this waa praise Indeed I "Oh, will you 7" said Iris, glowing. "I will Indeed. The moment wo get off the train. Let me see. Hair first," said the great couturlere who mirac ulously was her aunt, eyeing ber as If she were a bolt of unmade goods: "then the right shoes and atocklngs. Then we can handle the rest." For three delicious hours, dating from the moment they left the Uroad Street Station, liia was led from hairdresser to corsetlere, from lin gerie shop to gown shop, under the handa of a mistress of her trade. She became frightened presently at the amount of things Aunt Phlna waa buying and said so. "No. But tbls will carry you for the moment I'll finish from my own stock and connections," said ber aunt, "In New York." OWEN waa meeting tbem at the Bellevue Stratford for luncheon Iris saw herself in one of the long mirrors entering by ber aunt's side: she would not have known herself except for the reflection of Phlna bealda her. from ber smart odd bat with Its curving brim and small feather, to the simple exquisite shoes, she was correct. A heavenly feeling of self-reaped and courage swept over her. Th For three hours, Aunt Phlna bought things. "Ask Josle If she won't come see me tomorrow." said Uncle Will when they rose to leave him, "Tell her how It Is that I can't call on her. Don't you think she's a remarkable woman, your Aunt Josephine?" "Yea. I do." Iris answered, lifting a mlscbevious shoulder at Morgan. Uncle William waa wonderful. From somewhere, in that life of bla which had so little outward semblance of happiness and success, ha bad be come poasessed of a fund of Inner happiness and serenity which made living a pleasure to him. But Iris shrank away from such a serenity the while Its aura pleased Ber. When she waa fifty. Derhacs- but not now I Not now. with the whole exciting world holding' out unexpected handaful of presents I They went out together. Bhe won dered If Morgan would scold. After all he had done It all. She felt un grateful. But ha only gripped ber band ao tight It hurt, and said, "Iris, Iris, promise me" l "What?" ' "Nothing, you wouldn't under stand." And he flung away. Bhe didn't understand. Morgan had been so odd since Owen and Phlna had come. In spite of having xouna tnem tor her, tpARLY next day Owen ruahed In quite In another mood, gay and excited. "Phlna's outside, champing the bit to take you in to Philadelphia shop pinghurry up!" "I can't there are things to do" Iris began, but he would hear noth Ing of all that. "One doesn't keep Phlna waiting." he said with a grin. "She's like time and tide and taxes she waits lor Bo man. I'm staying here a little while to read my mail" he waved a letter "and visit with Uncle Wll Ham and the ancestral mansion Rua along before young Mr. Blue beard scolds you and locks yon up In a cell." Owen waa younger this morning, gayer. It must have been a very nice letter probably from Startd. He took her out, Just as she waa except for beret and coat, to where Phlna Rosa stood waiting. "Heavena. child." she greeted her. "you have charm, aa well as a good figure and face. 1 can make any thing out of you." thin dull'red belted wool suit with its broad pique collar and cuffs, the smart rough-textured gloves that matched her- shoos and tmnd-bag ber own delighted, excited face, with a faint extra touch of rouge and lip stick, her eyebrowa plucked and arched above her black-puplled large gray eyes, her balr showing Just enough In short tlorod ringlets across the back of her hat Iris stared with open dollght. Owen stood up at the tnbla whoro he waa waiting. "Don't you like me?" Iris de manded rapturously. "Don't I look Ilka other poople?" 'Almost," aald Owon, regarding her with pride and affection. "Where Phlna's showed her genius la in keeping you not quite." 'Iris haa an air of glamour, thauk goodness," her aunt said compla cently. "It'a coming In." Iris, Intent on the menu, scarcely heard. She aaked. like a child, if she might have anything she want ed, then went ahead with a child's pleasure. Chicken salad because she liked It. Coupe Jacquea because she want ed to find out what It would turn out to be. They smiled at her un ashamed pleasure. Phlna waa lunching prudently on a clam Juice cocktail and raw sliced tomatoes. Owen had a chop and baked potato "Just what he could get anywherel" Iris marveled at their wasted opportunities. They talked of one thing and an other till Iris's Coupe Jacques wte reached, and Phlna had finished with her tomatoes. Then Phlna spoke with an air of decision. I have a proposal to make to you dear. 1 want you to come and live with your brother and me Your mother left you with me. Now that your father la no loncer living. It Is the logical thins to do." I want you." Owen said earnest ly. "You're my sister." (CetwiH. I'D It. tl..,.,.i II ,JV,; Tomorrow, Undo Will ho a t. InQ caller.

Webster defines "Infant" In law as 'at common law any person under the age of 21, whether male or female, Is an Infant; but this rule Is varied from in some of the states of the United States. An Infant becomes of age the first Instant of the day preceding the aut anniversary of his birth." Persia's military losses through the last thousand years have been many and doclalve, but today Persia In ns large as ever. She has never won an Important war, but nevertheless she has been able to maintain her terri torial Integrity. Turks in the 11th century, Genghis Khan Jn the 12th, Tamerlane In the 14th, the Afghans in the 18th all these overran Persia disastrously. During the past century Persia lost two major wars with Rus siain 1913 and 1828. The boundaries of the country to day are almost identical with those of Persia during the ninth century.
