about washday drudgery in the home. It is unpleasant and is a relic of the unhappy side of life “in the good old days " Let us rather tell you that we have five different ways of do- ing family wash in this modern laundry, all of which are mod- erately priced and actually easier on the articles washed than any home methods. Sci- ence protects at every stage. Soft water, pure soap, separ- ate washings and thorough in- spection result in wonderfully fresh, clean bundles.

Sayâ€"have you met the other Julie yet?” “Yes. A night or two ago. I Was agreeably surprised,” he said at last. “You know she had gone abroad?” “I saw something about it in the pap‘glj.” “I 'should not laavé saifi that. I beg- your parden. and hers. Let us talk abgyj; something else.” Chittenllam made a swift gesture of anger, but he instantly controlled himself. “I think they have done that al- ready,” Doris said lightly. He turned and looked at her. “Really! may I ask what it is?” “I hardly know the facts myself, but I know it was something to do with Julie Farrowâ€"this Julie Farrow â€"” She watched him closely as she spoke. Giles managed to laugh. | “How futile! I never met her in my life till that night at the Faun where I met you.” “As a mattEr of fact, she doesn’t,” Julie answered. “She’s inclined to be morbid, and nobody can accuse me of that.” “Morbid!” ‘ “Yes. She’s"got weird ideas on some subjects. For one thing, she’s mad on this latest spiritualistic craze." “Nonsense!” “You’re not very polite. Ask her ‘yourself if you don’t believe me. That’s ‘why she’s in London nowâ€"to sde Chryer, the new medium." “You’re not serious?” “Of course I am! There’s a siance to-morrow, and we’re all going. You’d better come along too.” “Sadie’is a little fool,” Chittenham said unthinkingly. Then he flushed du‘l'lvy, _and_ _hastil_y apologised. “I know that is absolutely untrue,” he said. Doris flushed. “I am only telling you what people arg_sayi_ng.” Her eyes challgnged him. “Or are you afraid that they may read the secrets of your inmost soul?" “There ié only one secret in my soul for any one to read,” Chittenham said. She laughed. “How touching! The tragedy of WW. marriage. I suppose” “Lawrence, come here. Mr. Chitt- enham is talking to me about his soul, and I’m almost reduced to tears.” Giles had forgotten Doris un’ti’l sud- denly she spoke: “IV saw yo‘u talking with Julie. Was it “she vyhp made you__a{1g_'ty?” “Good heavens, no,” Giles answered too eagerly for absolute conviction.” “About Chryer, the new medium? That little American, Sadie Barrow. is most enthusiastic. She says that is most enthusiastic, She says thaf she Wants to know the future, and that Chryer can tell her." ‘_‘Of course every one is saying that she__has gone with some man.” “No.” said Chittenham. “The trag- edy of my love for you.” For a mo- ment Julie seemed taken aback. Her lips quivered, and she bit them sharp~ ly,1then she turned and called to Scho- fie-d: “People are too charitable!” Giles said with a sneer, and he thought of the woman whom he had left crouch- ing by the fire in that lonely‘ room. “I suppose if I allow myself to be identified with this menagerie much longer, thy will credit me with a scanâ€" dal_of_my own.” 7 Giles Chittenham swears to avenge the death of his young halfâ€"brother Rodney, driven to suicide by the not- orious Julie Farrow who had spurned his love. He will make Julie love him, then throw her aside as she threw Rodney. He meets her in Switzerland, goes with her to the hoâ€" tel on the St. Bernard Pass, and suc- ceeds in winning her love. To his amazement, he discovers that he has ‘fallen overwhelmingly in love with her himself! And he is married, to ‘an American girl with whom he has ‘nothing in common. Then he discovers that this girl is not the same Julie Farrow who ruined Rodney, but her cousin of the same name. She seems him when he con- fesses his love and his inability to marry her. They meet later in Lon- don, where she is going the pace that kills. Another man, Lawrence Schoâ€" fieId, wants to marry her, in spite of her wild life. Through his friend Lombard, Giles Chittenham meets the “other Julie,” the notorious Woman who had ruined Rodney’s life. She tells him that she is going to die; the doctors have given her up as incurable and she is leaving England. She' is worried a- bout her cousin, the girl Chittenham loves. That Julie ~â€" his Julie â€"- is going in fast company, among them a common little American girl named Sadie Barrow. And Sadie Barrow is Giles Chitten- ham’s wife. He did not know that she was in England. That night he meets her at a party at his mother’s house. They pretend to be strang- ers. “0h, an old friend by now," Julie declared. “We’ve known one anoth- er quite a week, and love each other dearly. Bim doesn’t approve. She says that Sadie is common and bad form, and a wrong influence for me! Did you ever hear such rubbish?" “I should think Miss Lennox is right,” Giles answered, then stopped aghast at the admission. His own wife! . . . “And does Miss Barrow share your views on life that you and she are such great friends?” NOW GO ON \VITH THE STORY She looked-at him steadily. WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE With a swift little movement Julie threw aside the bedclothes and caught up a wrap. “Bim!” she went out of the room and to Bim’s door. Julie flung it open. She entered with a little rush, and, running across to her friend, dropped down on her knees beside her. “I didn’t mean it. I’m sorry. Forâ€" get I said it . . . I’m a beastâ€"a mean beast, but you made me angry.” Wu J um. uuc u; uu... She was morbidly afraid lest Giles should guess how he had hurt her, and to counteract that fear she sometimes deliberately sought his society, cruci- fying herself in order to deceive him. And it had been all in vain, for Bim knew! A T..‘: _ “Give it up, Julie,” Bim urged gently. “Come away with me. We’ve had good times together before, and the country is Heaven nowâ€"” 1, AH A, “How dared she say such a thing! how dared she?” she asked herself passionately. “In love with that man! I hate himâ€" How dare she . . . how' dare she!” She shut her eyes tightly, afraid of the scalding tears that suddenly seem- ed to rise from her heart. Hate him! the man in whose arms she had found the meaning of love: the man whose tragic mistake had broken her, body and soul. Until now she had hardly realised how much she had' suffered since that evening in Switzerland when Chittenham had told her the truth.

I don’t understand in the least what happened between you,” Bim said in her cool, smooth voice. “You would never tell me when I ask- ed you. If I only knew perhaps I could help you betterâ€"” Julie flung up her head with a vio- lent jerk. “He’s married.” she said defiantly. Her head went down again on her outflung arms and _she began to sob. “That is not what Mr. Lombard in- sinuates.” He wandered through the crowded rooms until he came across Lombard. “I want to speak to you.” Lombard looked up. “Well â€"â€"â€" what is it?" “Come outside â€"” The two men went into the hall. “What on earth . . .7” Lombard asked again apprehensively. Chittenham told him. “I understand that you've been talk- ing about things that don’t concern you.” - “My dear old chapâ€"” “You know what I meanâ€"Switzer- landâ€"” “I assure you, Chittenhamâ€"" Giles cut in ruthlessly. “Don’t let me hearAany more about i vgive ana incoherently, almost as if some power outside her- self was forcinz the wor_d: fg‘om_her‘. ‘ “Don’t be a coward, Julie. Cut i: all out and come away with me.” “I should be more of a coward if I did that. He’d know I was afraid.” There was a little silence, then Bim In spite of himself Chittenham changed colour. “So Lombard is the liar.” Mrs. Ardron floated into the door- way. Giles rose, glad of the inter- ruption. _ . .. y .u W1AJ leb"â€"‘ “I wish Giles Chittenham could hear 7! you. Julie flushed. “Are you in love with him ?" she twitted Bim sharply. Bim flushed to the roots of her closelyâ€"cropped hair, “No,” she said. “But you are.” There was a little silence, then Jul- ie started up, her eyes blazing, her lips quivering with rage. “Go out of my room, she com- manded. “How dare you say such a thing? I’ve had enough of you and your saf“‘ly ways. The sooner you go the better. I’m sick of being dic- tated to and preached at. Iâ€"-" But Bim had atone, closing the door softly be- hind her.

He must be a brute to live with.” Bim got up slowly and walked into Julie’s room. “I suppose it’s true?” s'he submitted hesitatingly. asked: “Julie, have you seen his wife “Whose wife?” “Mr. Chitt‘enham’s?” “Good Lord, no. He told me were separated, or something, b they are, I daresay it’s his fault. must be a brute to live with.” “I â€" suppose so,” she said slowly. then the colour blazed suddenly in her cheeks. “Do you mean that . . . you think he just said itâ€"as an excuse . . . to get rid of me?" “Well . . .” “What is true?” “That he is married?” Julie turned round, her eyes wide herAlips parted. “I’m only trying to help you, Julie. If it is true that he is married, why did he make love to you?" Julie laughed. . “Don’t all married men make love to other women?” she asked cynically. “I shouldn’t have thought a man like Mr. Chittenham would,” Bim said. 1 Julie made a little sound of anger. : “I suppose I shall have to tell you .all the truth,” she said. “It all sounds lso sillyâ€"like a cheap drama. He thought I was Jewel â€"â€" I never told you that, did I? He had some quixotic idea of paying me out for what he thought I had done to Rodney+they all blamed Jewel because he killed himself, you know. Well, Giles thought it would be a good ‘idea to make me fall in love with him and ‘lthen laugh at me as a punishment. Funny, isn’t it?” she submitted quiver- lingly. “Well, I fell in love with him all rightâ€"and then after he’d found out his mistake, and that I wasn’t JeWel after all, he told me the truth. But first he said that he really loved Julie went on with her dressing, but her hands shook badly. “If I really thought thatâ€"” she said. “Perhaps I ought not to have sug- gested it,” Bim said hurriedly. “But he makes love to youâ€"asks you to marry himâ€"” “No, he never asked me to marry him,” Julie interrupted ruthlessly. “He just said . . . oh, why need we go all over it again ?” she asked passionate- ly. me â€" he said that part of it wasn’t pretence at all but the real thing . . . I remember I was fool enough to think it must be all right then. I was quite ready to fall into his arms again and forgive himâ€"” Her voice was hoarse The Financial Responsibility Law which became effective on September lst provides that the driver’s license and all motor vehicle permits of a person convicted of any one of the following offences shall be suspended until proof of financial respon- sibility in the form of a certificate of an insurance company, a bond or securities is filed with the Registrar of Motor Vehicles.
