JosIE's NEW HAT.

The question of new hat is serious
one to all girls, even to those who have
rich papas and full purses.
To Josie Herne it had, alas always been
serious question, but on certain mo-
mentous occasion, about to be described,
it's seriousness was beginning to assume
appalling proportions. tl
This was the way of it:
The Newcome girls had gotten up a
lawn party, led on to do so by the example
Of some friends who had but recently re-
turned from prolonged residence abroad
and who declared that life in that country
was not to be endured without lawn-par-
ties now and then to relieve it's tedious
monotony.
The Newcomes were the great people of
Centreville. There were half dozen girls
Of them, and they were very nice girls too,
in their way; rather snowy, a little loud,
little slangy and somewhat disposed Ito
put OH alrs,'' as they said in Centreville.
But, on the whole, good-natured and kind
hearted girls; and little Josie Herne, who
was the daughter of their music master,
had often found them so. They were con.
stantly inviting her to the house when her
father came to give them lessons; they
often Invited her to tea-more often than
Josie could accept, for she had SO few
dresses, and such as she had were not in
very fine state of preservation, notwith-
ha oh tnn1 nf fhon A nd
in summer especially, she had often to re-
| fuse invitations to tea. when she would
very gladly have accepted them. because
her summer wardrobe consisted OF two
cheap muslin gowns, made by her OWE
skillful little hands; and each time she
went out anywhere it was necessary to ap
pear in one or other of these gowns, care
fully laundrled by Josie herself.
And how fresh and pretty they looked
| too; and no one ever dreamed how flushed
and tired Josie had been after the ironing
or what economy she had practiced to en-
able her to buy the extra half pound O.
starch. -
But she didn't mind that, not bit, af
ter the task was accomplished, She wa
just as happy, and enjoyed herself probably
much more than any one of those girl
whose dresses were SO many that the,
would have been puzzled to number then
as mere matter of memory.
But sometimes even the strictest econo
my failed to bring in the extra starch; an,
as Josie was her fathers housekeeper, an

dresses, and the cooking, housekeeping
everything, in short, and kept the tin

How Mount Vernon Got Its Name.

While every American has heard of
Mount Vernon, probably not one in hun
dred knows whence it derived it's name.
The unfortunate Duke of Monmouth had
private Secretary named Vernon, pru-
dent sensible man Of business, who, after
the Dukes death, found favor in influen-
tial quarters, and under William Ill. be-
came Secretary of State. He left son,
Edward. born 1894, who greatly against
his fathers wishes entered the navy, and
serving with early distinction rose to the
rank of admiral. In 1922 he was returned
to the House of Commons, and having in
1889 declared there that Porto Bello might
be reduced with six sail of the line, and
that he would stake his life and reputation
on the success of the expedition, he was
sent off with a squadron to do it, succee-
ded, and gave his men $4,000, which had
just arrived to pay the Spanish troops. On
returning home he received the thanks of
both houses and the freedom of the city of
London. From that day, however, his
star declined. An expedition to Cartha-
gena, made two years later, signally failed.
Smollett, at that time naval surgeon, &C
companied the feet, and has told the story
of it in Frederick Random where he
compares Vernon and General Wentworth,
who commanded the auxiliary land force,
to Caesar and Pompey. The one," be
says, ''would not brook superior, while
the other was impatient of AL equal; so
that between the pride of one and the in
science of the other the enterprise miscar-
ried.'' 1t was in the land force at Cartha-
gena that Lawrence Washington, Georges
elder brother by fourteen years, had serv-
ed, and apparently he esteemed Vernon,
as he gave his name to his home on the
Potomac, and procured midshipman's
appointment for George, but his mothers
interposition ultimately prevented the
boy 3 availing himself of it, albeit she had
at first consented. Velnon's popularity
was so great that his unlucky expedition
does not seem to have affected it, and he
was actually elected to Parliament for
three places at once on his return. Prob
ably his known hostility to the govern
ment had much to do with this. In 1745
he was detailed to watch the North Sea,
in view of a movement Of the pretender's
adherents. The next year a serious squab-
BILE arose between him and the government,
resulting in his producing two pamphlets,
which so exaspeEated the authorities that
by the Kings express command he was
struck off the list of admirals. He died in
1857 at his seat in Suffolk, and notwith-
standing his disgrace handsome monu-
ment to him was erected in Westminster
Abbey. It was Vernon who brought into
use the custom of mixing water with the
ration rum, which got the name OF grog
from his habit of wearing a grogram waist
coat, and hence his nickname of "Old
Grog.'' Altogether, the man who inven-
ted grog, is buried at Westminster Abbey,
is commemorated by Smollett, and gave
name to Washlngton's home. must be re-
garded as no ordinary person.

Not Yet.

The days glide by on winged feet,
A river flowing broad and fleet;
Thy face from mine is turned away.
1t will not be so, dear, Away,
Thy heart would fain its love forget,
1t cannot yet, dear love, not yet.
stand outside the fastclosed door,
Against me closed forevermore;
Yet parts us neither bolt nor bar,
Who are so near and yet so far.
Oh heart that would its love forget
And cannot yet, dear love, not yet?
hear thy voice. so soft and low,
And silent tears unbidden flow;
While yet its music fills the air,
Ipass and breathe a silent prayer.
My heart would fain its love forget
And cannot yet, dear love, not yet.
One step-and I by thee could stand,
And touch thy dear familiar hand;
One loOk-and upon thy breast
Would lean, and weary, find my rest.
Poor heart that fain would love forget
And cannot yet, dear love, not yet.
One woodland again might raise
My face to thine, and meet thy gaze;
And with no word thy heart should read,
That love is all woman'S need.
Dear heart, wOuldst thou thy love forget,
Thou canst not yet, dear love, not yet.
If e'er thy soul hath need of mine,
If e'er the truth thou canst divine,
Seas will not part nor bolt nor bar,
We shall be near, who now are far.
True hearts that fain would love forget
And cannot yet, dear love, not yet.

{ youth, who was just passing; for my own
part, I'd be more likely to smile," and he
stopped and looked long and admiringly
at the pretty girl spreading her little bits
of lace to dry; then, as she turned toward
him, he lodged quickly out of sight, and
at the Same moment wandering breeze
caught the loose silk handkerchief care
lesly knotted about his throat, bore it
straight toward Josie and dropped it at
her feet. while the owner, laughing to him
self, passed on, unconscious of his loss.
With cry of delight Josie caught up
! the soft brilliant square Of silk, with its
border of Roman colors, and in her CRATE
! full JOY pressed it to her lips.
/ .'Where could it have come from2" she
asked, aloud. "Surely some good fairy
must have dropped it," p ~" s.
And then, without thought of looking
for an owner for it, she flew into the house
upstairs to her little room, and snatched
her hat from the bedpost where it still
hung, being pressed into shape. a.
Josie's costume for the lawn party was a
great success; indeed the soft, white India
muslin was the prettiest dress there, and
the old-fashioned leghorn hat, with its
trimming of two half handkerchiefs of
brilliant silk wound soarf.wise about it
and tied in bow on the side, was de.
clared to be quite the most becoming head
gear that had ever been seen in Centre
vile. "Fp .J .s@

| There was one young gentleman there
who scarcely took his eyes from Josie's hat
for the first half hour after her appearance
on the lawn; then he seemed to discover
that her bright, dark young face was even
more attractive than her brilliantly
trimmed hat.
