of helping the worthy children of the

city.

This is the fifth season that . the Palais Royal has given articles . of clothing away on Christmas. The

names of the children have been furnished by the teachers in the various

schools of the city. Each child must

call personally at the store and will be

given a pair of stockings and an order

on a local shoe store for a pair of

shoes.

The list furnished by the teachers of the schools show that from the Whitewater school 44 children will re

ceive the presents; Starr school, 20; Sevastopol, 14; Warner, IS; Flnley, 4;

Baxter, 2; Hibberd, 2, and the district

school on the Boston pike, 1.

THE UNCHASTENED WOMAN

By ANN LISLE.

Caroline was enjoying herself tremendously. Never had she had more

golden opportunity to take toil from

those who had offered or sought to oppose her. "Have no fear, Miss Mad

den ; your intended husband believes

in women 'boundlessly and 'in every capacity!'" she turned upon Michael with an Impudent little smile as she

ijuotsd hira for her own uses. "He has

:i seu-,B i f :iurnor and admires hypo

crites, lie v.-ill be consistent to his views . and I am sure he will

allow me to be equally consistent with

mine."

"Carte blanche!" agreed Krellin,

and then, observing that Lawrence

bad come back with the lacking chair, he seized upon it, and placing it with

a royal gesture he invited Emily to

take her place at the table. "Here we

are now; we can all sit down and lis ten." . . .

Caroline's face hardened and she

spoke in a clear voice which at once

demanded and commanded attention. "I have no principles, but I have some

prejudices. And either Miss Madden

or I must leave the room." Caroline Springs Her Terrible Accusation. "What do you mean!" cried Michael

sensing her undertone at last. "That

isn't argument. That's evasion."

Lawrence sprang to his feet and

blurted out an order. "Emily and Michael, you've said about enough

now; please go!

Hildegarde's tone of quiet dignity

attempted command of the situation. "By no means. Mrs. Knolys will be good enough to explain herself." Caroline knew, however, that it was ' she who dominated the situation. She was the focus of attention now. The center of the stage, a position which she had commandeered all her life, like the true pirate she was, was again completely hers. She smiled very charmingly. "Since yon insist, it is simply because I refuse' to sit at the same table with my husband's mistress." There was a moment of absolute silence while each nature reacted. to the audacity of Mrs. Knolys's statement. To any one who had looked at her, Emily must have delivered at

once the confession of her own guilt. She fairly drooped before the fusillade Mrs. Knolys had directed at her. . KrelMn was the first to recover himself, and, obvious for the first time, he shouted his fierce denial "That's a lie! A black, malicious lie." "Ob, no!" returned Caroline, still smiling with an effect of indifferent cae that tormented Emily the more. "She doesn't even know your hus

band!" cried' Michael, 'stumbling' on

blindly in defense of bis sweetheart. Caroline's taunt was absolutely confident. If every one else were staring at her, she, at least," was devoting' her attention to Emily. There was something rather magnificent. In Krellin's quiet dignity as he towered, dark and menacing, over the woman who was managing at last to elude him and to conquer him -because he must now of necessity lose his sense of humor. V ' What was life and death to him was nothing to Caroline but a situation which other situations less pleasant to herself had at last enabled her to create. "Madam, I am not here to insult her myself, but to defend her against your attempt to do so!" stormed Michael Krellin. "Ask her, and you will learn it was for my husband's sake your article was repressed." concluded Caroline, turning her final dart upon the man himself. "Be he no doubt has. paid Miss Madden for any loss you may have suffered. Come, Susan." She turned to the Sanburys with a maddening air of social grace which had not for one moment deserted her. "I've had a delightful luncheon. , My wrap, please, Lawrence." "Mrs. Knolys," said Krellin quietly, "of course you cannot go until I have relieved your mind from any misapprehension about your husband." Caroline decided that it was time to direct the attention of the company to Miss Madden. She managed it with a word. "But unfortunately I seem to affect Miss Madden disagreeably." Emily Madden staggered to her feet and suddenly the kind old arms of that Ignored derelict, Mrs. Murtha, went about her.

jrer in iove o uawa tn poor

gurris goln t' faint." "Take me home, Michael take me home," cried Emily. "Take Miss Madden home," was Michael's order to Mrs. Murtha. He himself proposed to stay and deal with Caroline for Emily's greater good.

But though he was a man and could not know it. Emily's greater : good at that moment lay in just one thing the comfort of his arms about her. . Susan Ambie was vociferating her terror over and over again In demands to her Carrie to come away from these awful people. .Lawrence was apologetically trying to extract Caroline from the difficulty he persisted in thinking some one else, had made. Hildegarde was besieging Michael to go with Emily. - ', . I But the two antagonists, were conscious only of each other. Wild with rage Krellin was facing his insolently smiling enemy. "MrB. Knolys has permitted herself to utter a filthy, common, vicious lie! And I".' Krellin in a Rage Gives Her the Lie. "But this is not the time to discuss it," began Hildegarde. "A filthy LIE!" went on Michael in fury. "See here, you can't use that kind of language . to my friend," cried Lawrence. But Krellin swept him aside savagely. "Your friend! You little lap dog! I want nothing from you just look to yourself!" But now Hildegarde came to Michael's side and turned him to the doorway through which Mae Murtha was helping Emily and Emily so weak and shaken that Michael could hardly recognise the truth of his perceptions. But he knew whee he was needed now, and as Hildegarde urged him on, he turned with suppressed vehemence to the woman whose words had had the malign power so to alter Emily. "Mrs. Knolys I shall do my self the pleasure of continuing this conversation in the presence of your husband." Then, as he went,' a new antagonist approached Caroline. It was Hildegarde, quiet. and. sure of herself. No more was she held in check by the difficulty of acting as hostess to this aloof and censorious woman of the world. The laws of. hospitality could hold her no longer. Now she could dismiss the dragging necessity of be-

ing agreeable ' to Lawrence's ' friend. The situation had given her aain the privilege of being supremely herself. "Mrs. Knolys, I most have a word with you." Hildegarde's voice ''was very quiet and sure. , Instinctively Caroline felt respect for any adversary who. did not rely upon shouting and the emphasis of the raised voice for victory. . "Now she's going to .begin!" cried Susan dizzily,-more hectic than ever from the Scotch and the excitement. "Of all the frightful experiences! Carrie you must get out of this.". : "Hildegarde, don't you think we'd better drop it asked Lawrence angrily.1 To Be Continued. -.-; ; ..... 'I i '- " . -'..'; RECEIVES FEW CALLERS
