"Sh" cautioned the clerk, looking
around to see if they were unobserved.
"What do you mean, Billy" And he
blushed and looked pleased.
"Why, you see, she's as chick as can
be when you're there, but when you
amt she's all down the mouth. She
don't fix her hair, an she won't see any
body, an she goes around the house

without sayin blamed word to nobody,

another thing" added the young man
impressively, "she don't put cologne
on her handkerchief only when you're
coming. Oh, | know Il thing or two,

TO say that the clerk was too pleased
and rejoced for anything is but feebly
expressing the frame of his mind. In
the excitement of emotion he gave young
Coville a quarter. That diplomat has
tened home and Immediately sought his
cousin.
"Minnie,r he said, II have been up to
Charley's store"
"Have your" she said, trying to look
very much unconcerned.
YES, and can tell you, Minnie, he's
inst prime fellow-way up. But he's

"What do you mean, Wilie?" asked
the flushed and agitated girl.

awful to see how he is gone on you. He
wanted to know what you're dom, an if
you're enjoying yourself, an if you re
careful about your health. He'd better
be looking for his own, Tn thnkin."
The girl was pleased by these marks of
devotion from the handsome clerk, but
her heart failed her at the last observa-
ton.
"Why, what do you mean, Willie?"
she asked, in considerable apprehension.

At dinner party the other evening the
pretty auburn haired hostess was attired
in an imported gown of yellow satin with
al overtlrapery of black net embroidered
in gold stars. The under petticoat where
the net WAS gathered up showed three
rows of insertion in black and gold, show
ing the CLEAN of the satin through. The
black net was arranged in deep Watteau
plat in the back, held in place by an i'm
mense yellow rosette. The bodice was
plain heavy yellow satin cut square in the
neck back and front, draped with the gold
embroidered net. The sleeves were Of net
and came only to the elbow, where they
were met by long wrnkled black suede
gloves. The high coiffure was banded by
a narrow black satin filet with two tiny
blackbirds and diamond star in the very
center of the fluffy bank. Black satin
shoes, stockings and feather fan of the
same hue completed this exceedingly chic
costume.
One of the guests who was going to a
ball afterward was attired in vieuN rose
silk, with deep ruffle on the skirt fringed
fully eight inches in depth. The sleeves
and round neck were finished by ru1fles
treated in the same way, and bunch Of
chartreuse green tips on one shoulder and
q full sash of the same color made this
gown look not unlike harlequin ice, yet
very becoming to the blond Hearer. An
all white Grape was made with an under
skirt of pale pink velvet. These under
skirts seem to mark new departure in
draperies, and are very novel and elegant.
The Grape was caught up with festoons of
white silk ribbon passementerie, inter
spersed with pale pink pearl beads, and a

We find the Influence of Roman costume
in our own country in the days of tho
Anglo-SaXons. 1t might have been thought
that the loose, and, we may add, the few
garments which suflicod for the climate of
Italy and Greece Qor Rome borrowed her
fashions from Greece would have been to-
tally unsuited to the raw, damp, chilly at
mospherc Of Great Britain. We should
certainly think so now, in spite Of all the
warmth of cozily furnished houses and
the protection from weather which we ell
joy.
How women managed to live and work
in those long flowing tunics in dAys when
manual labor was so much more common
in all classes. when roads were miry and
pathways and pavements did not exist,
passes comprehension. 1t never seems to
have occurred to Anglo-SaXon danes to
clcthe the body in sections and have sepa-
rate garments adapted to each part. Their
idea was to envelop themselves in one long
covering, adding mantle for outdoor
wear, while the interior clothing was Of
the most elementary kind. Greek women
only wore one garment under the ehiton

A Game for n Rainy Day.

Rainy days are dreaded by young folks
when they are off in the country for the
summer. They have not the resources of

Then she puts the rake handle over
her shoulder and the rake teeth into his

doesn't find the squash seed until she

seed in one spot, and afterward digs
them up and puts them down in another
