He obeyed, moving as one In a dream. Hllma turned away she could not bear to watch him go, yet knew only death would keep her from seeing him again.

Love immortal had touched her to flame It would burn, forever, unguessed by her world,' but making life richer and more real waiting even was precious compared to the emptiness that might have been her portion. Five years! No word from Ashley, nor of him. Yet she did not repine. As She shook out the blue gown something moved her to put it on and steal down to the spring house, where the birds sang even at midday. As she sat with folded hands and downcast eyes, Ashley came upon her, caught her hands, lifted her and held her I dreamed true. close, whispering : That I found you just the same. Will you listen while I tell you everything? If I may rightfully hear it ! Hilma said slowly: That cannot be unless you are free. I was free from the first legally, morally, Ashley burst out, but you sent me to bondage, I do not regret it. Poor Helen was nothing to me, neither fiancee nor wife, only a poor weakling who gave me her heart unsought, who knowing herself doomed, asked only that I remain free and M her love me without stain to the in evitable end.

Hllmas beauty was a variable - quan- tity, depending as It did upon the right mood, which in turn was due to the right man, who, of course, depended largely upon the right frock something dull blue, soft and clinging, indicating without emphasis her classic lengths, and lithe slenderness. Sea .green was nearly as good especially If her wild rose color was a bit heightened. In sheer white she was a vision, but all violent, hues effaced 'her, since she could not afford the soft velvets, whose shimmerlngs would have made her enchanting.

That is to say she had been well born, of clear blood, Into a clean life of thriftily, spare abundance, brought up to honor her parents, love them next to God, to love also truth, sunshine, birds, beasts, growing things and such of her neighbors as did not actively deserve 111 will. Oddly enough, she had come to radi-- . ant nineteen without any sort of love affair, notwithstanding many a young fellow within her purview stood trembling on her brink of courtship, proposal and matrimony. Her gay surface friendship masked a delicate aloofness, equal to cold storage for af--. lections just beginning to ferment, A fine state of affairs to be wholly overset by a new gown, a blue gown, lo simple In line, making it had been a Joy rather than a task.

Briefly Minta was a flapper-with-Mrs. General a monumental nuisance. Ashley, all unwittingly, had brought a letter to her father, who was Mintas guardian thus the pair had laid hold on him as lawful prey to be fought over, before he had been two days at Clear-brooTogether they had fetched him to the picnic at the Cave, In the cool dusks of which It was possible tq dance happily through the hottest hours.

Asfcley proved the adage by what diplomacy It were tedious to set down. Suffice It that ten minutes after Hllma came In view, tie was bowing over her hand, then trying hard to look to the bottom of her eyes. Eyes clear, and dark as swamp-wa--tpools, with yet a hint of lambent lightning In their deeps. Long curling lashes veiled them, thinnish dark n brows overarched, yet the tendrils framing her face had even In the thick tree shade.

SOCIAL CLIMB ENDED New York Womans Aspirations Foiled When Husband Goes Broke Trying to Meet Bills. 8 8 8 Yuletide Candles Everybody goes about the ordinary business of life, in plain dresses of dark woolen cloth, that depend upon collar and cuff sets to lend them variety and a dainty flavor. Therefore these sets are among the most acceptable of Christmas gifts. An endless variety of embroideries in white or in bright colors, comes by the yard, in straight or curved sections. One has only to stitch these sections to bands of lawn, to make a set like that pl tured. Other sets are made of net, lace and sheer fabrics the last finished with needlework in embroidery or fancy stitches. Christmas without candles would be as disappointing as summer without flowers and every home-make-r knows their charm and decorative value. A candlestick of paper rope, carrying a tall candle decorated with sealing wax paint, is a lovely homemade gift for either men or women friends. The rope may be bought ready for weaving and it is an easy matter to paint the candle with sealing wax paints. 8 8 Gold or silver lace and a bit of gay chiffon or mallnes will serve to make the pretty dance cap, with soft crown and brim, as shown here.

The plate and grid of an ordinary vacuum tube are connected across the terminals of the inductance, LI, and the filament of the tube is connected to a tap at a point In the coil to give the desired frequency. The location of the filament tap is found by experimenting. A wire connected to a pjn may be used until the right spot is found, where a soldered connection could then be made. The circuit as described will be recognized as one in common use by amateurs of continuous wave stations. Connected between the plate connection to LI and the plate Itself is the direct current line which supplies the plate potential. An ordinary direct current lighting circuit or B batteries may be used to furnish the plate current. The value of Inductance and capacity Is so chosen that an audio frequency may be generated by the oscillator, and since the frequency Is low the constants are comparatively large. Other ratios of Inductance and capacity may be employed In order to obtain the same frequency, but the values mentioned are satisfactory for plate supply. operation with a In order to use this circuit for code practice ten turns of Insulated wire are wound around the form LI forming hi or the output coll. To the terminals of the coil one or more 75 ohm receivers may be connected with a bey in the circuit to permit forming of the code. Higher resistance telephonic telephones may be employed, but are not necessary. When once set in operation this oscillator requires no adjustments and furnishes an audio frequency alternating current of constant frequency and clear tone. The pitch or tone may be changed at will by providing several taps for the filament connection so chosen as to give desired frequen110-vo- lt Stop their pain in one minute !

When the rent was raised she decided that for the same figure she could find one on the fashionable East side. Grumblingly De Goofis agreed. Their new apartment was smaller. They were the only tenants in the building who did not have a chauffeur and the only persons employing but one maid. From being large frogs in a small pool they found themselves very small ones in an ocean. Mrs. De Goofis mourned and insisted on being as the others. Extra maids were engaged and a chauffeur employed. With the chauffeur the need of a new and better car was obvious. An expensive one was purchased. Mrs. De Goofis ambition was about to be realized. She was edging in. And then De Goofls spoiled it all. He went broke trying to meet his extra obligations. They are now back on the West side, but not in their old apartment house. They have one room and bath in a to a new cheap rooming house, but Mrs. De from an- Goofis has the consolation of regaling 'the poor landlady with tales of the we lived on Park avenue." chuckling days when my honor gold-glin- Any Desired Pitch of Signals Obtained by This Method. The ordinary buzzer employed for code practice is uncertain In Its operation and usually requires frequent adjustment In order to obtain a sound resembling radio telegraph signals, says the New York Globe. It is possible by means of a comparatively simple circuit to use a vacuum tube as a source of audio frequency signals of any desired pitch. The circuit which may be employed Is shown in the accompanying diagram.' In the diagram, coil LI is an inductance having a value of .5 henry and may be in the form of a special honeycomb coil of large size or may consist of a coll having an iron core. If an Iron core coil is used fewer turns are necessary In order to obtain the requisite value of inductance. If the honeycomb coil is used it should be about seven Inches in diamete'r in order to approach the proper value of Induct- d Among the gifts that are sure of a welcome every Christmas are shoe trees, furbished up with various pretty, and sometimes amusing, decorations.
