But her deep i honesty would not permit her the comfort of self-deception. She knew the real reason she could not keep her mind on her figures. was that thoughts of Duke jumped be- tween her axtd her calculations. Why, when she hated him so, couldn't she forget him for a mo- merit? ‘

"Wrong, as usual." she answered. "I mean that I'm not sure about Aragon. It is rather more than possible you'll get back part of your losses."

"Oh, fair lady, I beg of you to not let your kind heart get the better of your clever brain."

"It's that Hand-Riding Kelly is the jockey. He worshipped my father and last night he was so sympathetic,—"

She turned and walked away hurriedly. Why had she let that impossible Duke know what was in her heart? Anyone would think she was justifying herself to him; trying to let him see there was a soft side to her nature! As if she cared what he thought of herl

“Can you beat that dame?“ asked Tip as she walked away.

He was to say the same words a few hours later, but with a differ- ent intonation.

"She's done it again-and the odds-when‘! Its spooky, I'm tell- in: you. Boss. First she's hard- boiled and never misses. Then she goes soft and we shell it out again. Soft! That frosty-hearted doll! Thls‘d be the happiest day of my life_if I knew I'd never teen her again." »

‘Oh, Tip, don't shatter an illusion —I always thought you hnd an un- erring eye for a pretty woman."

“If all the stars of Hollywood were rolled into one-combining the best features of each of 'em--I'd hate the sight of the result. if she'd nicked us for thirty-five G's,"'he 531d flvflgoly. "And you-—I don't set you at all."

"They?"

Oh snap out of it, Tip. If I wanted to get rid of her, I couldn't. Of course, there are other bookies. But you see, she like; this one.”

Tip was muttering to himself, as Duke walked away. “You trunk you're kidding. you blind fool. In love with Madison, my eye!"

Single Life May Be Blessed, But it Bears the Brunt of Attacks by Relatives and Hang- ers-on. No, All is Not Rosy for the

Bachelor '

In many of our States bachelors an heavily taxed for the privilege of remaining single. perhaps on the theory that those who enjoy luxuries should be made to pay for them. Now worse seems lllnely to follow, for a movement has been recently started to force employers to pay married men more than single men for the same work.

Why this unjust discrimination should be made against the poor bachelor, and why all married people should be leagued against him to deprive him of his freedom and W19 all the joy out of his single blessedness, is hard to explain. Perhaps it is pure envy on the part of men and, having themselves being trapped and houssibroken, they cannot bear to see a brother free and untrammeied roaming the wild.

I Perhaps it is because women haie a sex

" loyalty that makes them look upon a bach- elor as an enemy who has somehow, some iiay, by arts and wiles and superior cleverness, done some woman out. of a husband, and who wickedly and selfishly spends upon himself and his own clothes and pleasures the money that should have gone to buying a wife Paris finery and sessions at the beauty shops and dodads for little Juniors.

Whatever the reason. the iireludice against bachelors undeniably ex- ists. Every man's and woman's hand is against them, and every means, fair and foul, is used to drive them to the altar. Sisters they trusted be. tray them by hurling fascinating widows and old school friends at them on week-ends. Men they have befriended pu.l beauteous and glamorous nieces, cousins and debutante sisters out of HOWWhCIG at their approach as conjurers do rabbits out of a hat. When the bachelor still hangs on to his liberty with a death grip that nothing can loosen, they change their attack upon him from his heart t0 his pocketbook.

It is, of course, envy that makes those bound upon the domestic wheel feel that the bachelor has got too soft a path m life and fills mm with a desire to scatter a few tacks in it. i They picture him as a carefree indi- vidunl who has no wife with a questionnaire on the tip of he; tongue awaiting his return home. They think how delightful it would be to be able to purchase that tricky fishing reel they have been looking at cov- etously in the show-window instead of having to pay an installment on having little Johnny's adenolds out.

They think how blissful it must be to be able to come and go as one pleases without having to furnish an alibi for every instance one was nwfly from the Presence. In short, they think of the b echelons life much as a. prisoner serving an indeterminate sentence thinks of the great wide spac- es, where one is free to follow one’s bent. ~

But, alas, ths impressionistic and somewhat lurid picture of a bach- elor's existence is seldom true to nature (accept. in spots. The single ma-n. even as you and I who are married, has his troubles and tribulations. his burdens and his parasites without getting the reward that the domestic man frequently does.

To begin with, the bachelor is a man without a stand-in. He has no good, reliable, negotiable excuse in the e hap of a. wife that is accepted at its face value the world over. He has nobody to tell his white lies for him and keep him from having to go to dull parties and to dinners where the food is a crime and the drinks first. aid to murder. There are no feminine skirts behind which he can hide. l-le has to stand and take it. on his defenseless head without having any one on whom to lay the blame of all his faults and mistakes. And that alone drives widowers. who have been deprived of the protection of a wife, into marrying again.

Nor does the bachelor who has neither a wife nor chick nor child of his own get out ol having to support a family. 1115 brothers and Sisters cheerfully pass the buck of their own to him and let George do it, Be- cause brother has no dear little daughter nor wonderful son of his own, sister thinks that he should pay for Sally's debut and Mamie’; dmcuig lessons and s-lve Maud s trip to Europe. Brother is sure that he will feet it a privilege to send Robert to Harvard and provide him with a. sport car and enough money to make a splurge.

Furthermore. the bachelor is held up by every racketeering philan- thropy on the face of the earth. Because he hasn't. a family he is ex- pected to give and give, not only until it hurts but. also bankrupts him, and then he is batted for not giving more. The stingy old tightwad, with no- body to spend his money onl

And what the bachelors suffer at the hands of hostesses no tongue can tell, but it should be written down in the Book of Martyrs. They are ex- pected t o flit in at stodgy parties; to dance with fat wallflowers; to make themselves agreeable to dumb dowagers, and to spend their time and money showing country cousins the city, and even to come to family Sunday dinners, than which punishment there is none greater.

And now they are not only going to tax the poor dears. but reduce their salary. What s. shame? DQRUrI-ry D1x_

A tnink room in the cellar sol- ves the problem of finding bags and trunks covered with a thick layer of dust when required for use. A small dry space is all that is necessary. It should be com- pletely enclosed with wallbosrd or lumber with dust-proof joinlnga. Shelves may be built to hold small bags and a platform raised from the floor for trunks.

This and add a little lfit_wafir ii necessary.
