the imminent arrival of Jack ‘Far- quarhar, Lila wanted nothing much as to stay in bed, away from everything. to think out some solu- tion to her problem. But she didn't dare take refuge in her momentary indisposltion; it was

resourceful presence there to con- trive some distraction. So she dragged herself through her round of social duties, thank- ful, in a. way. that they kept her from too much miserable introspec- tion and recrlmination. When May Varney called up and asked the Wares to dinner, Lila accepted, though May explained: "It's just a small, informal party- for a few friends, so. if anything special turns up later, don't hesi- fate to break the date. I shan't be a bit offended." Lila and Herbert were the last guests to arrive, a. fact that greatly perturbed Herbert, especially since Llla's tardiness was due to an after- noon sesslon with Dorothy. The truth was that Lila had spent three hours in an effort to persuade Doro- thy to meet Jack Farquhar at the pier. Dorothy, for once. was ada- mant; smiling, sweet, but firm.

As Lila and Herbert passed through the Varney's hall on their way upstairs, Lila caught a glimpse of a group in the drawing room.

A good-looking young man was bending over May Vamey's hand. His face was toward Lila, but he did not see her.

Lila gave a gasp and hastened up the stairs. Her knees were un- steady.

Herbert asked solicitously: “What. is it, dearest? Do you feel faint again?"

Llla's thought were in chaos. but she grasped at the straw he offered. "I—I'd like to lie down a bit. Do you think May would mind?" 1 Herbert stared at her anxiously. She did look pale.

‘Have the maid ﬁx you comfort- ably. I'll tell Mrs. Vamey; I'm sure she'll understand.” ~ Lila sank on a divan in May Var- ney‘s luxurious dressing room and stared, with frightened eyes, at her own reﬂection in the mirror. "What. am I going to do?" she wondered. “I daren't meet Gilroy

dlvan and closed her eyes. Varney hurried into the room. "You poor child! Herbert tells me

something?" Lila opened one eye and regarded Mrs. Varney speculntively. “Would you mind. awfully, May. if I didn't come down to dinner? Would it upset your party?" “Not a bit." May assured her. "I told. you it was an informal affair- ]ust.a few friends. But you'll be ~ hungry: don't you think you'll feel like coming down, after I send you a cocktail and some hot bouillon?" Lila considered. It was obvious that a mere moment of faintness wouldn't account for her absence from the dinner. And shc simply had to be absent.

She resolved to trust May. “I—llsten, May, the truth is that I'm not a bit faint, really. But there's a man down-stairs whom I don't want to meet.”

May stared.

"But there's only the Don Stew- arts and the Granges—you're the best of friends."

"There's one other," said Lila hol- lowly.

"You mean-Mr. Holmes, the new man with Herbert and Jack?" Lila Nodded.

“I-knew him in France."

"Oh!" May winked knowingly. “So that's it? I shy. what rotten luck to have your own husband give him a 10b!"

"Isn't it?" murmured Lila bit- terly. "Anyway, I—I'd rather not see him. Do you mind my bolting?" ‘Certainly not. But how will I explain it?"

“Walt till I've gone," said Lila; "and then toll Herbert and say that I didn't want to spoil the party by being ill."

May chuckled.

"It must be thrilling to have an European past! Fancy its pursuing you like thisl"

Lila thought rcsentfully. ‘If she only knew the truth!"

With May's help, shc slipped out through the trsdesmcns entrance, while May kept the servants out of’ the way. At the corner shc found a taxi and was driven home. Fifteen minutes later. Herbert called up. Llla's maid fold him that Madame had gone to bed. She had. She lay staring into the darkness, awaiting Herbert's return and won- dering what new misadventure was to befall her.

AN ATTIC SALT- SHAKER

B! W. OBTON TEWSON, Ali Rights Reproduction Prohibited

§e

IN his book of stories and anec- dotes, "Tell Me Another," Lord Aberdeen, a. former Governor-Gen- eral of Canada, devotes a chapter to “Samples of American Humor." “It is well recognized that the typ- ical humor of America is usually of the dry quality," he says, disavow- ing any connection between his as- sertion and a certain Amendment to the Constitution.

AS a shining example of American dryi humor ho offers this:

A stranger who happened to be in one of the New England states, be- ing doubtful about his exact where- abouts, asked someone whom he met:

“Can you tell me miw far it ls to Hartford?"

"Well, the way you are now gofngi it's about 24,000 miles; but ff you] turn around and go the other way.‘ it's about a mile and a half," wasl the answer.

_ l ANOTHER characteristic of Am-l orican humor, declares Lord Aber-. deen, is a sort of subtlety, which suggests an inference, not alwaysl too obvious, but which creates am-l usement even before or without an-, alysis. A "perfect specimen” of this‘ particular type of humor is furnish-l ed by a conversation overheard be- tween two men.

"Do you play golf?" asked the one.l "No: but I can't give it up," an- swered the other. l

JOHN HAY told Lord Aberdeen this story:

During an Atlantic voyage wlthl Chauncey Depew as a fellow pnssen-l ger, Depew was entertaining a group‘ of friends one evening in the smok- ing room with some of his inimitable stories. Naturally“ tho Iistenersl showed their sense of amusement! with one solitary exception. This: man maintained an aspect of ln-l difference. and indeed almost of, gloom. ’

MR. DEPEW, of course, could not help observing this, and he was doubtless prompted to trot out even additional anecdotes. But in vain. at least with regard to the melan- choly man. At last Mr. Depew ralli- ed him by saying: “Well Mr.—, won't you contribute something to our cheerfulness?” The man thus addressed, pretend- ing to heave a heavy sigh, replied: " Well, I have been ruminating a bit as to what constitutes the differ- cncc between me and a turkey; and I have come to the conclusion that it's just thfs—that a turkey hasn't got to be stuffed with chestnuts un- til after he is dead."

THE hospitality of the Eskimo. while hearty, is apt on occasions to prove a llttic embarrassing to a guest from tho outside world. It is recorded by Diamond Jeness in “The People of the Twilight,"—an alto- gether fascinating account of his three years‘ stay among the Eskimos of the North Alaskan Coast and oi Coronation Gulfwthal. he was once staying with the leader of a local tribe whose wife bore the romantic name, Light.

“SI-IE was a charming hostess," declares Mr. Jenness, "and licked mY plate before each meal that I might eat from a clean dish. When hand- ing me boiled seal meat from hcr steaming pot, Light squeezed it ten- derly betwccn thumb and forefinger that no surplus Juice might clrlp on my clothing. Lacking candy, she showered on me tho national sub- stitute, delicatc cubes of oily seal- blubber, but lacking the national taste, I§llppcd most of them sur- reptitiously to the dogs."

THE inspiration of Frances Hedi’.- son Burnett's famous story, "Little Lord Fauntleroy," was, of course. her younger son, Vivian. He was n quaint little chap and shc long toyed with the fancy of putting him in a book. Tlicn one day, when he wris seven, she had an idea for a story about an American boy with aristoc- ratic English connections.

"I will wrltc a book about such ll. boy and Vivian shall be he," shc ex- claimed. "Just Vivian with his curls, and his cycs, and his friendly, kind little soul. Litllc Lord Something- or-other. What a pretty title—Lltl.lc Lord- Little Lord-what?“

And a day later it was Little Loid Fauntleroy.

NO satisfactory explanation of her choice of ihc name Fauntleroy was cvcr given (says the same Vivi- an in "The Romantic Lady,"- a biography of his mother). It is not uncommon in England. and riot lohl; after the story—lt created a fashion in juvenile costume—-began to have its big success, Mrs. Burnett received a charming, enthusiastic letter from a Robert Fauntleroy, of London. England, asking "what really were the reasons for fixing on my name?"

MR. BURNETT does not give his mother's reply, if any, but an inter- esting ‘ocume ‘ bearing on the matter is preserved~ii sheet of note paper, with "Little Lord Fauntleroy" written on it in a column about fen times in her handwriting. Evidenly, she had been trying the effect of the title herself.

THE “BOYS"—-mcaning in this instance baseball players-tell a story on Rube Lutzkh, the Cleveland third baseman, that gets many a laugh, chortlcs lhe mighty Babe Ruth in his "Own Book of Baseball."

"I won't vouch for its truth," dip- lomatically adds the Babe, “except to say that the Cleveland boys all tell it as a fact."

ARTHUR MACHEN, novelist and essayist-he wrote that myth- lcnl World War story "The Angel o! Mons," you remember-tells this:

Mr. Smith, the well-known author. was calling on his publisher, Mr. Robinson. Mr. Robinson had a great St. Bernard dog, which barked furl- ously as Mr. Smith was being ushery ed into the room.

"Don't be afraid of the dog, lvfr. Smith," the publisher called out in cheery tones.

"It's not the dog I'm afraid oi’ when I go to see a publisher," Mr. Smith replied.
