When the train pulled into the way

by several other young women, who
were all talking at once. The young

For fifteen minutes after the train
started he pretended to be reading a
newspaper and she was lo6king out of
the window. But every minute or two
he glanced at her over the top of his
paper and her gaze frequently rested
on his face.
And she seemed to be proud of him.
Suddenly she turned toward him
with the exclamation:-
Jacob, do you need every paper in
this carr"
He threw her over one he had in his
lap.

There were more comments from va

seemed to be wondering what lie would

Ten minutes later he looked stealth

One particular value That these deli

them as fresh as new.
There is also a revival of dimity foI
summer dresses, and this is trimmed
with black point d'esprit in accor.
dion plated ruffles and with ribbon
loops and bows. Indeed, such a quan.
tity of lace rufies and ribbon bows was
never used before to trim hummer
dresses. Hats are loaded with it, para
soils are covered with it in narrow ruff
Hes, both outside and in, and dresses
have yards and yards gathered and
plated on wherever it win go.
The exquisite costume for a young
lady, of which I give you an illustration,
Is Of organdie, with a lace ruffie at the
foot Of the skirt. The guimpe, the
epaulets and the hat are all Of lace,
and the parasol is also covered with it,,
and this is a very modest costume.
Surpliee styles in the corsages Of thin
fabrics are very much worn, and the one.
sided effect that has been so popular has
had its day, and more graceful fancies
now drape the fronts equally. But for
nearly all cotton fabrics and the most Of
the thin wooden and silk the full waist is
made, and belted in by one style of
girdle or other. The pointed girdle is
very graceful and gives a slender figure,
but for those who have not lost their
glrlish ~roundness narrow ribbon.

An upper covering Of tapestry Gre
tonne, in some one Of the artistic and
CHEEKY shades of blue, tan. old rose or
olive green, on a white ground, with a
trimming Of velvet to match about an
inch and a half in width, and held in
place by a close studding Of large gilt or
silver headed nails, is the finish for the
whole. When the framework is IN
proper and substantial shape it is easy
work for the handy housekeeper who
wishes to add this attractive piece to
her sitting room, hall or bedroom to fit
the upper cover. The stuff should be
Drawn JIgnTly aa- fastened a1ung the
edges with small tacks, which drive in
easily. The velvet ribbon is then added;
the bright heads Of the tacks will need a
piece of cardboard held over them in
striking to protect from the bruise of the
blow. The curtain at the back is a
drapery or valance laid III box plaits,
with a pretty fringe along the lower
edge. Covered with velvet or plush,
this is a new and handsome design, and
with a fur rug in front will fill the place
creditably wherever it is put.

there may be a ~festooning of silken
drapery to correspond with the tone of
the couch. Upon the face Of the cushion,
if the cover material is Of one tone, a
handsome monogram embroidered in
silk wrought outline with gold OF silk
cord may be pat with good effect, A
small, oblong rest pillow filing the
corner between cushion and couch will
lend itself happily to the proper adjust
ment for ease and luxury.
An ordinary pine table, where the legs
are square, and solid, with the addition
of a lower shelf is in proper shape for &
like covering which will present it a
handsome and substantial rest for lamp
and books. There is no difficulty in the
covering save a required nicely in fitting
the corners, but this is easy enough if
one thinks a moment or two before using
the scissors.

News Agencies in England

"Iieuter" is a word which is pretty IA
miliar to most newspaper readers, yet
few are aware that Reuters system Of
news supply IS practically not more than
thirty years old. In 1919 Baron Reuter-
tried to introduce his agency into the
metropolis, but the London newspapers
would have nothing to do with him. At
first lie confined his attention to the sup
ply Of financial intelligence, but in 1859
he managed to be first in the field with a
report Of the speech deliyed by Napoleon
III at the New Years reception in the
Tuileries, and from thcnceforward Reut-
er's agency became an established fact.
The Press association, or 'P. A." as it
is called by newspaper people, is an even
more recent institution. Prior to 1868
it was unknown.-Chambers Journal.

The foundation for this couch, at once
comfortable and ornamental, is a frame
work OF wood so simple in its construc-
ton that it can be made by any carpen-
ter with ordinary skill. The legs are
square and solid, the stretch Of couch
above being broad pieces Of wood with
an u~pholstering Of springs and a cover
ing Of muslin, or a substantial support
ing frame, with a wire webbing across,
On which is a well fitting mattress filed
with excelsior or hair. The head cush-
ion has a firm, light modern back, with
an extension strip On each side holding
it to the sides Of the couch in the man
ner shown in the cut. The back is a
long square rod resting on a short sup
port at each end, with an ornamental
knob as a finish. This rod has a padding
Of excelsior with muslin cover to soften
the edges over the top.

The president of the Wednesday After
noon club is Mrs. A. L. Stone, who is
also its founder. Mrs. Stone is from
Massachusetts,, the daughter Of n clergy
man, and spent her early life in Worces-
ter, receiving the best kind of a New
England education. After her marriage
her first home was in Chicago, at a time
when the west was not quite what it is
now. Mrs. Stone travelled through the
west with her husband, who was en-
gagged in building bridges, and improved
her opportunities to study and to realize
the possibilities and responsibilities Of
the men and women of this country.
After the wal Mr.. and Mrs. Stone went
abroad, where they passed several years,
and on their return they settled in this
city, where they have now lived for more
than twenty years.
About five years ago Mrs. Stone found
ed the Wednesday Afternoon club, which
meets every other week at her handsome
apartments in the Valencia. 1t is on the

the Joy and the torture Of the literary
artist.
In the book stores of MonteYideo I no.
ticed a fair number of translations Of
European scientific and historical works,
but I hunted in vain for a copy of Cal
deron, Lope de Vega OF Francisco de
Quevedo. Even copies Of Don Quixote
are few and far between. This neglect
of the great Spanish classics and Of the
lighter picturesque writers struck me as
being worthy Of remark. The newspa-
pers Of Mcnteyideo, Ike those Of Buenos
Ayres, depend upon the French for their
novels and literary articles. There is no
local literature worth speaking about,
except that which produces political
leaders and financial and statistical re-
porfs.-Theodore Child in Harpers.

leading spirit Of the club, she modestly
says that she could have accomplished
nothing without the cooperation Of

on some serious question and a discus

several members. Mrs. Stone is an earn
est advocate Of making the highest pos
sible use Of whatever gifts or talents n
has. This she calls the real gift Of life,
and she has taken as her motto, Char
acter is Wealth. a sweet. intellectual
