CLAIRE'S LITTLE TRIUMPH Chapter 100 The song seemed to be a contest between the three drums of the orchestra and the large brunette. There was a struggle lasting through three verses, each louder than the other, and they ended about even in a storm of applause. But the brunette out distanced the drums and finished triumphant in the encore. After which she retired smiling, the three drummers mopped their brows and comparative silence settled down over the restaurant. In this . comparative silence Maisie shrieked over to Claire for more particulars, Maisie's voice was never exactly low and pleasing, and she had to compete with several hundred voices that also were not exactly low and pleasing. "But Claire, darlin' you've kept it from us. We tlfought you and Luther

''That accounts for It," she said. "I always said it was you who threw over Jim. I think it's grand of you to do that, for your husband. I always told the girls you and Luther were really in love I'm so excited. Poor Jim, though Claire, you might have let him down gently. Do you think he wants to

make you jealous with that girl? She can't hold a candle to you for looks or style." Claire hoped Luther had gone back to his discussion of cantilevers, air pressure, hydraulics and such things. She glanced at Jim's table. It was empty she turned to look at the dancers. They were crowded together on the small floor, hot, uncomfortable, stepped upon, each couple holding tightly together, not so much from affection as from necessity because there was no room for freedam, the whole compact

eyes asking to dance. But the music stoped suddenly, Jim passed with a short nod to the table, the stranger's eyes gave them a brief, unconcerned glance. A tough little girl dressed in Colonial costume, but with silk tights beneath the panniers instead of skirts, began to sing.' Tomorrow The Dance

again?"

The man sitting between them and one of the girls got up to dance, Maisie moved next to Claire, where she did not have to talk so loud. Grange and Luther found they were in the same profession and, were talking and laughing together. "Oh." Claire said easily, "we thought we'd have a little honeymoon together second honeymoon, you know and not let on.' "Is he are you have you been?" Maisie wanted to be delicate, she also wanted information. Mot knowing how to achieve both ends, she floundered about helplessly. "Yes, we've been living at my flat," Claire helped her out sweetly. She was much cleverer than Maisie, who adored her, so she used Maisie to send

out Information to her friends. j How long had it been since Jim dropped from the crowd? At least a month she had to give the impression that the reconcilation was longer than that. Luther would be sure to blunder into telling the truth, he never could lie decently, she Vemembered. Here he was talking suspension bridges and steel cables with Grange She slid her hand under his at the table, to attract his attention, Maisie was all eyes and ears what fun she would have telling the girls this. She was the first to know. "It's Luther's flat really," she went on. "We used to be there I just kept it on while well, while Loo went off to look after his mother and Amy. Oh, but we made it up. long ago, didn't we, Loo? Her hand pressed his warning,ly. "Only Loo had to go away on a trip, and I couldn't leave the show so we said nothing we didn't want a lot of gossip." Maisie leaned closer, lowering her voice to a whisper a whisper which carried more clearly than ordinarily

spoken words. . IjiMfiranniiiHiHiiitiiiiuiiniiiHiittiiiitfUtiiiiHmtiiitiiiiiiiniititHiiNintiiiiiinHi. I DINING ROOM FURNITURE f

They were not separate individuals.

nor separate couples, they were a mass, they were hot humanity, they were cross without knowing it and hot and tired without admitting it. They only thought they were having a good time because this sort of thing was taught them as the thing to do for pure enjoyment. Only the slim, dark little girl in Jim's arms seemed cool and at ease. Clarke danced around the edge of the floor where the crowd was not so thick, skillfully steering his way among the couples, his arm not so much clasping the girl as holding the crowd away from her "He's dancing near the edge so's you can see him," Maisie's large whisper came again. "Trying to make you jealous, Claire. I wondered why he didn't bring his, girl to our table. Now T know. He was just afraid you and your husband might come in and make him look like a dunce. I'm glad I

phoned you." Claire wanted to stop this. Luther

Mrs. Snyder Found the Magic Word Housecleaning is no longer a bug-a-

boo with Mrs. Snyder. ' She found that the one word Rub-No-More means

"Magic" during housecleaning.

And she found this all out at her

grocers. Upon his shelves she saw

some R. N. M. White Naptha Soap alongside of a number of packages of Rub-No-More Washing Powder, Yellow Naptha Soap, Soap Flakes and Spotless Cleanser. These reminded her of last Fall when she cleaned house with these products. As if by magic her work was easier, more economical and all cleaning finished in less than half the usual time. Moral: "Let the Rub-No-More Elephants do your housecleaning." Advertisement.
