He Saw her eyes on the youth darken, the color in her cheeks deepen richly. a Peter had stopped short, too, hli eyes on Jennet as hers were on him. J "My niece, Miss Darby, Peter Brant" Neither of them spoke or moved. Then Peter bowed stiffly, wheeled about and left the room. "What an exceeding gallant young man!” Jennet’s laugh rippled, but Quint caught a tremor of excitement in it “Had he no tongue In his head, Uncle Quint?” Qpint was aware that all eyes, in the room were on Jennet He took her arm, led her through the door by which she had entered. 1 ”J*d prefer you did not appear to the public room.

Homemaking Tips Cleaning Larupchades Clean lampshades add to the at* tractiveness ofroom. Fabric shades which ate sewed to the irame may be washed with water. Braid edgings sometimes are glued oni (although the fabric has bepn sewed to the frame. To prevent thelejtfom coming off, they may be slip bstitched on before washing the shhde, However, if the trim is of a type which will be harmed Ip the washing It should be removed. , ( I nisi should |te bnihued from the shade first.

A brush orsponge mhy be used to brush the suds over the shade. If neither ls| available, (t pieces of an old turkhh towel may be used The shade can be thoroughly rinsed by swishing in three waters. Seldom does rusting of the frame cause trouble. Asa precaution, with a clean, soft cloth the shade should be rubbed lightly. To absorb excesls moisture the Cloth may be squeezed along the lower edge of I the shade. Parchment shades may be wiped with a damp cloth. Wallpaper clean-] er successfully cleans paper shades. Select Upholstery Materials, Carefully Since there are many upholstery fabrics on the market, homemakers planning* to re-upholster ! chairs should examine the materials carefully before making their selections. If part of the treads are coarse and' others are tine, the heavier ones seem to w’ear out the finer ones. The shopper should not be able to slip the threads with her thumb ind forefinger'. 1 Threads tightly twisted make a stronger material. When the homemaker examines the cut edge, she should notice whether there are well-twisted threads which spring back after being unwound. To give good w’ear a fabric for re-upholster* ling should be closely with ■crosswise and lengthwise threads about the Isaii’e size. The label should state the fiber content ("lotton is a popular fiber because it is . .attractive and the price generally Is one many families can afford. However, cotton materials do not clean as readily as wool nor give as much wear\ asp wool. Other fibers areX’ften combined with cotton iivriiaklng upholstei y fabrics. ' x > Mohair, whJcK is made from the fleece of aijgora goats, makes a dur'able material for re-upholstering. Since the fiber is smooth and fairly straight, it has a luster. It brushes well.

Whenever we were alone at Greenlands she let me wear them. After she died I kept them. 1 brought them along, I couldn’t bear to leave them behind." Qubit recognized the outfit as one Hagar had made for him When he was a boy; she had spun and dyed the wool for the shirt. “And now that the matter of my dress is settled," Jennet continued, “you will please tell me more about this young man in the gorgeous blanket who refused to address me!” Jennet sat down in a chair, expectantly. Quint told it, briefly as he Could. When he finished she cried softly, “I never knew a young man so interesting! Which will he choose. Uncle Quint ? ■ To be an Indian or—or one of us?” “I haven't any idea. He doesn’t know his mother's people—without doubt he’d be happier remaining with the Mohawks,” When he saw Jennet's lips move to speak quick protest, he added, “Now T suggest, if it’s your pleasure, we look over the property here so that you will be acquainted with it.” She got up from the chair, all eagerness, slipped d hand under his arm. “I want to see everything.” A young minx, knowing well how to get her own way and with probably little more knowledge than that under her mop of cans, for ail the select schools she’d gone to! So Quint warned himself, smiling, as they went put into the afternoon. “First Well take a look at your horse, to satisfy ourselves that he has been properly stabled.” From a kitchen window Rhoda watched them with a passionate resentment that wias consuming her.

Quint observed the■ best • dishes on the table and the treas- , ured pewter tea service, and was i pleased and reassured that she was so honoring Jennet. 1 "MAy I cross on the ferry tomorrow, Uncle Quint? May I fide up the beach ? May 1...?” Like ’ a ehfJd, Jennet piled Quint With 1 one entreaty after another. And 1 to each. Quint answered, “AH tn ’ good time." ' Their supper eaten, Rhoda said, 1 “We'll go to the parlor." ' There Jennet crossed at once to 1 the piano and began to play a 1 simple melody, singing along with It tn a clear sweet voice, a rememi bered refrain... Quint closed bis i eyes, the better to bring back the I picture it evoked. Hagar singing it? No, his mother,, sitting be- ’ fore her spinhet, playing and stng- . ing this Very song. Later Hagar had sung It, sometimes, when she was at Work. Hagar had taught it to the girl, here. He was deeply shaken by these memories the girl was awakening in him, memories he had thought dead. Perhaps It wasn’t possible to cut oneself off completely from what has been one's own, as he thought he had done. A continuity persisted—here was Jennet, now, on thia frontier, in Ma parlor. In Ms heart... Jennet swung around on the piano stool. “I love to sing.” she said. "Do you. have glees here, Aunt Rhoda? Mrs. Hodge said that often they have them at their tavern ...” "Thetrs is a different kind of place.” Though Rhoda said it without resentment. “Likely there’ll be One Soon, how spring's come.

Jennet moved to a stool close to the chair in which Rhoda was sitting. “Aunt Rhoda, I’ve some silk with me—it catne On one of the last ships to land its cargo and father brought it home to me.

She had said once she had too much to do to waste time in useless talk, but, sometimes Quint had thought she held these other hard-working women beneath her notice. i Well, if she missed female companionship Jennet, perhaps, would fill the gap. Presently goadnights were exchanged. Jennet climbed up to her room and Quint and Rhoda went 1 to theirs. . Here, as in the parlor, Rhoda had added touches that made it a pleasant bedchamber. To break the silence between them Quint said, “It’ll be pleasant 1 for you, having the girl here." , She lifted her head. “Yes, pleasant. I shall use her!
