THE UNCHASTENED WOMAN

"Mrs. Xaolys, this is Mr. Krellin." . Krellln moved quickly "to Caroline and peered first at her, then at his hostess and finally brought his eyes to rest on Mrs. Knolys. There was laughter in both eyes and voice as he exclaimed, -''Mrs. Knolys,- Mrs. - Knolys, I'm delighted to find you here. God is a great dramatist." "Indeed! Why?", asked Caroline. "I've -seen, you before, Madame, and I've heard of your husband." Hildegrade Interrupted - - quickly. "And this is Miss Ambie." As he went toward her, Susan withdrew with a fright-ned "How do you do! " that attempted to be haughty. The Scotch was having its effect on Susan. "So you're the anarchist," smiled Caroline. - : , "I am a social physician, whose prescriptions nobody respects; because I do not believe in wasting time disguising ' or trying' to cure symptoms. Poverty is the real disease." "Other people have a name for your kind of man," said Caroline pointedly. "They call us lots of names. Which one?" asked Krellln, good naturedly and quite unperturbed. "They call you 'muckrakers.' ". Stil! good humored, Krellln replied, "Ob, that never offends me. To make all beautiful things grow, there must be some one' to stir up the ah the unappetizing things about the roots.

We do that we whom you call 'muck-

rakers.' unfortunately, however, it Is you who wear the flowers we make grow. So!" "You mustn't take him seriously, Mrs. Knolys," cried Lawrence. In the success of Hildegrade's party he had never had any faith, but that it would be so hopelessly unsuccessful was a

cruel trick of the fate that had Impelled Michael to come home before dinner on that particular day. At this moment Murtha appeared with the meat course -chops and vegetables. Caroline again wa-ed aside Mrs. Murtha's offering, and Krellln serenely suggested that the waitress leave the second plate for him, since he had had no breakfast, explaining the while in complete reversal of Lawrence's apology, "You see. Mrs. Knolys, that is my great misfortune. My friends never know when I am in earnest." And then in a lower tone, with.no apology for his secret communication, he turned to Hildegrade, "F-nmy will be late." Ft p. moment Caroline gave herself o the unexpected ioy of seeing even Sufsp fall upon Mrs. Pannikin's co'nrrative chops! She resumed the conversation. "Do you take yourself seriously, 'Mr. KrelUn?" "f did once. That's why I left Russia." "And do you take other people seriously?-' "Sometimes, but you must not ask me to take you seriously Mrs. Knolys; that would be too much to ask." Why" "You see, I know you. You're a spoiled American woman, which means you take neither our government nor yourself seriously. I don't "blame you : neither do 1. .In other words, we have a sense of humor." Lawrence was growing more and more visibly nervous. . Even Hildegarde was a little bit overwhelmed by the utter Insolence wtlh which Krellln was addressing Caroline. It rather outraged her sense of the proprieties that a guest at her table should be treated to no food and a great deal of plain English. But Caroline was amused amused at Lawrence's nerves, entertained by Hildegarde's discomfort and rather pleased at the plain speaking of this impossible boor from another world. She was thinking to herself that an ungainly performing bear who - had learned a few tricks must produce the same effect on his observers which this terribly earnest Russian gave her through his very awkward efforts to disclaim earnestness. And then suddenly her -- amazement and amusement became less pleasant as Krellln remarked quite casually: "I saw you once before, you know, Mrs. Knolys. I was detailed at the dock when you arrived." Poor Susan laid down her knife and fork. After all, hunger was more easily to be endured than nervous indigestion. , Krellin continued: "And a dear, a very dear friend, persuaded me to lose fifteen dollars on your account." "That was a very dear friend, indeed." Caroline's smile was acid. ' But Krellln was far more interested

in his own story than in any danger

signal in the quality - of Mrs. Knolys smile. "Ah, yes, I had a beautiful article written, which for her sake I was weak; enough to drop an article about the humor and hypocrisy of the American woman with special reference to yourself, Mrs. Knolys. Shall I continue?" "No!" shouted Lawrence decidedly. Hildegarde laid a restraining hand on Michael and attempted a restraining word. But. smilingly,': Caroline leaned toward Krellin and, in the voice of one who 8 peaks .to the. only mental equal present, she urged, "By all means." "I wrote-that the people whose fortunes have been made -' in " Industries protected by the government "are always the very ones most , eager to evade the customs Imposed by that government po protect their industries."-.-- - ' . , Fearfully Susan interrupted with an

exclamation of horror at this baiting of her goddess. But Impatiently Krellln pounced upon her: "Miss Nambie . Miss Pamble .: . Miss" "Ambie is my name," corrected Susan gravely. Krellin waived it aside as irrelevant. . "Pardon. ' Quite so. I do not include you because on that day you personally lost your sense of humor." Again Lawrence attempted a protest but Krellln continued quite unperturbed. "I admire you, Mrs. Knolys. Your discernment and your sense of humor were almost worth six thousand dollars to you.' I admire you personally fifteen dollars' worth;. and that's a great deal for a man who is saving up in order to get married." Having the truth told to her as he saw It. and by such as she saw him to be, could not possibly havg .ny disciplining effect upon Caroline Knolys. The more her perform!: r bear annoyed Hildegarde. the better Caroline enjoyed his performance. And for the moment even Lawrence was neglible. Later he would be very apologetic and when a man apologizes to a woman of .whom he is fond, he may be made, in his sorrow for injuries for which he feels responsible, to imagine himself far fonder of the lady than he really is. (To Be Continued Monday.)KETTLES CATCH $30 About thirty dollars is the total amount received in contributions from passersby dropped in the iron kettle of the Salvation Army at Eighth and Main streets. Inclement weather resulted in the kettle being taken in on Thursday and Friday and because of a shortage of help the other kettle was not placed on the streets.. The one now standing will remain until Christmas eve.

"It you had a home of your own and your wife refused to live with you in this home, Insisting on living in a residence that you had to pay $16 a month rent for, what would you do?" inquired the chiefs visitor. Then he explained that he had moved into the house he owned, on the outskirts of the city and had refused to pay rent for the house which his -wife still occupies. As a result, he said, friend wife was now threatening to charge him with failure to support. Loves Country Life. "I work in the country when I am able to," said the worried husband, "and the little home I own is near the

farm where I am employed most of the time. I won't live in the city. I like to live in the country.. My wife, on the other hand, informs me that she Is a 'city lady' and flatly refuses to live in the country. I have supported her to the best of my ability and will do so now if she will move Into the home I own just outside the city limits. If she won't do that I cannot sup port her any longer. I am only able to earn $1.75 a day as a farm hand and because of my health I am not able to work all the time, so you see I can't maintain two establishments. I have a hard time maintaining one." The chief informed the worried husband that he did not have to support his wife unless she complied with his wishes and made her home with him. Worried husband departed greatly relieved. .

' "People in general seem to realize as they have never done in previous years that the shop early sign is an advantage to the shopper, the- clerk and the store manager." one merchant said today.
