For example, it might. be pos- sihle to add new zest to an old black evening dress simply by covering the front of the skirt of it Willi t.ny clusters of little yel- low flowers. Mainbocher uses this theme successfullyt. For the home drcssmaker the trick lies in not placing the clusters too clos/t together and in fastcitiiig ilircn on neatly so that there are no bulgc> and no loose ends cf thread :]iO\\'- iiig.

Anywa "ou might try this idea before resigning yourself to wearing last year's clothes just as they ivcre.

Don't overlook the bed-dressed women's t-rick of using neckwear, jewelery and clusters of flowers to make one dress do the work of several. Try changing the appear. mire of the new navy blue dress

while it. is still fairly new. Don't wait to buy a new collar for it until the dress is alnrst lhread-

bare and you are pretty weary of it

‘Also. don't. discard an old eve. ning dress until you have ron- Sl(l8i‘€(l the possibility of cutting

of! the skirt and wearing it with sweaters or separate blouses. There are more ways than one to be chic. The obvious way is to have plenty of mziiiey and plenty of time to she-p. Any of the other ways demands imagination and a

willingness to make use of good things left qver from other seasons.

Perhaps the easiest method of roughenirig a. concrete floor is to sprinkle it: with muriatic or coni- mercial hydrochloric acid. The acid is diluted with water in about the proportion of one part to five parts water. It is allowed to remain on the floor until the desired amount‘ o: roug-hening occurs. Then the acid should be thoroughly washed off to prevent further action. It may be necessary to apply the acid two or three times to get; this sur- face etched to the desired depth. One of our readers advises that us- lng a carborundum stone for rub- bing as the acid is applied makes it much more efficient.

WHAT HAPPEN Ell AT MONTALBAN

SERGEANT WALDEN SPEAKING _"I-Iullo!' said Severn, checking in his stride. “What are you doing here?"

I-Ie had a book under his arm, and a. cigarette between his lips, and his face was dreamily content, the face' of one who has put awav thought until the weather should break. He looked at her, and he smiled. She

"Looking for you."

“ ice of voul But I thought you were out for the entire evening?"

"I thought so. too. but I came back because I had something to tell you. And now I've got; something else a good deal more important at. the moment."

"Oh, what's that?" He asked the question lightly, and at the same moment linked has arm in hers and, drew her round with him towards‘ the Keep. "Come on, we'll go and look at: the sunset from the top of the tower, and you can tell me all| about it. whatever it is. Nothing like the top of Montalban Keep for sec- rets-no envesdroppers. and a clear line of vision for miles around in‘ case anyone tries it. what are you laughing at?“

"Well. you see. I've just been up that tower-and down again without attracting the attention of the gen-l tleman who happens to be watching the sunset there iii; this moment. Which surely proves something or other."

"It. seems to prove me e. foo ." said Severn, with a smile. “I gather that the gentleman wasn't a person whose company ou wanted. “Well, perhaps we'd bet r 2o to the belve- dere." 'I‘hey walked for n minute in silence. and then he said: "I was onl my way to the Keep. you know."

"Yes. 1 guessed that. 1 wanted w! fell you not to go. The fellow on ton is Sergeant Walden. Perhaps he, knows you frequent that plane, t.oo._, I don't think he's there simply for love of the view. do you?"

Severn stopped dead, her hand jerked from his arm: and she sawl his smile fade.

_ "What's the matter?" she asked. "'I‘here‘s no need to‘ worry about. him: he doesn't know I'm in a dosh. tion to warn you to keep away. Iet lllni, stay there and watch the sun-

"No! said Severn. slowly, “no, I don't’. think we'll do that. Would you mind verv much ii I changed rny mind, and went to the Keep. after all? You needn't come. of course: I don't suppcse we shall be any- thing better than boring for you."

She gave an incredulous lau h, and suddenly laid her hand ral v- lnglv upon his arm. "But my dear man. I came here especially w tel you not to go near him."

"Yes," said Severn. with a quiet smile, "yes. I understand that very well. That's why I'm going. What's the use of avoiding liiiii? Apparently he still prefers to say whatever it is privately—well. I prefer that, toou Come along, let's go and see what's‘ in the wind."

He tucked her hand comfortably; into his arm again. and swung her round upon her tracks. Tliev walked slowly towards the Keen under the age-old trees. their faces shadowed.

"My ideas don't. seem to so hot." said Molly, not without amuse- merit,

"Oh yes. you are very useful. I'm forewarned. you know. He can't spring anything on me now. But. you do see I have everything to gain ‘riy meeting him half-way?"

"Yes." she admitted grudgingly, "I see that all right."

"Having no guilty secrets in hide." he murmured. and his mocking smile deepened.

She led the wav up the dark stair- case without. her former caution and as thev neared the top her foot sent a stone rolling down from the breach in the wall to rustle in the bushes under the tower. She heard an instant answering rustle from above. the bulk of Sergeant Walden stirring the ivy. -

"There he is. Hear him?"

Severn halted her at the breach with n atieadylnit arm about. her waist, and together they looked dorm for e mmnent at. the lovely glowing evenln over Montalban, the iitll trees. e sudden slopes of meadow, the crystal of water. ‘

“It's lovely. isn't. it?" eaid Severn in his normal voice. "One of the most peaceful places I know, and vet look at its history. Four times bc- sieged, and full of battles. murders an sudden deaths. Mailia went nwnv in good-end plentiful-com- mnyul

"I don't suppose that was any con-

head. and his face was as ' i municatlve as wood, and almost: u, brown. In his large way he was a. good-looking man, his features over- empiiasiud. but regular.

“Oh. hullo. Sergeant!" said Sev- ern. "What are you doing up here,"

“Waiting to see you, sir, if the truth be told. But. I didn't expect the lady."

“The lndv is n comparative new- comer to these parts, though I think she has noticed the traces of your presence here and there about the place. Nurse Enlcon-at the moment. looking after Mrs. Ralph and the baby. Dr. Leonard brought her here, and can tell you more about her, if you feel at. all curious."

"That's all right, Mr. Severn. Nurse Balcon knows we have a icb u» do." He looked at. her. and the shadow of a. smile touched his face. His expression was pleasant enough but. reticent. His thoughts were nin- gulnrly his own. I-fe might h ve been meditating an arrest at at very moment. and Molly at: least. would have been no wiser.

Severn crossed the irregular flag- ged roof, and settled his elbows deep into the ivy. Inciting out over the dreaming land. he prompted delib- erately: “You were waiting to see me. I think you said."

“Yes I was. There are a few ues- tlons I'd like to ask you. and i oc- curred to me we'd be less likely tn be disturbed here."

"ghen ﬂrel What are you waiting l, ..

"You might not,” said Sergeant Walden carefully, “care to have rm audience." And as Severn looked over his shoulder with an impatient frown. he added: "I know what hue questions are. You don't."

"'I'liank youi Nurse Balcon is at liberty to listen to anything you may have to sav about me-nnd anything,‘ I may have to say about myself, too, for that matter."

“All right, sir, That's your choice. But don't forget I offered you the

chance."

But for heaven's sake, man. unbend. Have a cigarette! I see you've ﬁnished you: pipe."

Detective-Sergeant Wal en per- oeptibly shuddered. “Thank you - no. sir. I can't abide the things."

"Many?"

“'1‘lianks!" said Molly, and came to lean upon the wall at his side. Her hand steadied his as he held a match for her. The touch implied, and was intended to imply. "I'm ivit-h you!" But. she did not notice that he had used her Christian name.

“Well, what's your trouble?"

Sergeant Walden settled his hat still further over his eyes. and found himself a hard but. not imcomfort-i able seat where the masonry had fallen into a confused and over-i crown heap of stone in the comer of the roof. "Well. Mr. Severn. I’d' be glad to know how well you speak French."

Severn was puzzled but pliant. "Fairly well for on Englishmen. I think. I have played about in Paris mhgiit being labelled as English.
