Beautiful Wash Silks For tho Fancy Waists
Springtimc.
A beautiful line of wash silks has been
brought out for the spring trade, so lovely
in color and soft In texture that it Is diff
cult to make choice where every piece is
so attractive. Solid colors are shown in
dull blue, light violet, absinthe green and
OLD rose, but stripes prevail, and their COM
binations are innumerable. All the stripes
are OF narrow width. in whatever manner
they are clustered, and the effect us a whole
Is OF harmonious and subdued brightness.
Rose and gray, rose and green, rose and
tan, and violet and tan are some of the com.
binations seen. The goods are said to really
wash, provided soft water and a small
quantity OF fine soap be used, and no fabric
could be prettier for separate waists for
every day use as warm weather comes on.
For more elaborate bodices brocaded tai.
fetas and satin or MORE striped silks are
employed. These and similar weaves may
be obtained to great advantage at this sea.

 It is what they expected.
 She runs and gets him a pair of dry trousers.
 They belong to her father.
 For some little time they sit and look at each other. She and Claude, I mean. | Then she says: Claude, we arc to be married at 9:45. Would you like n lit tic something to cat first"
 He said. By all means" and she struck the table lightly two or three times with piece of board, which stood near, as n signal to servant, who brought in a cold joint. Claude had un fortunately said once that he liked a cold joint.
 It was cold. enlarged joint, and there was nothing to prevent good view of it.
 The justice of the peace now appeared and united the two. Claude did not know that his wifc had been talked about n good deal. He could not have believed that this slight, quiet girl of 30 had been n Corcspond- ent.
 AS he looked at her admiringly he could hardly believe that this treasure was his with so little effort, for he had thardly seemed to raise a hand to bring about his marriage As he toycd with her dainty scissors. slyly trimming the fringe from the edges of his cuffs. he felt that his mission to America had been accomplished.
 Just then her father came in.
 "Violct arc you married again:' hc asked. taking off his coat and stretching out on the hCd.
 "Ycs, father" she said sadly. "Claudc, come and shake hands with the old gent. -
 He did so
 "Clautc." " exclaimed the old man. "I havc sad news tonight from home Tho gas on my farm has quit squirting. and am ruined man. Otherwise l would have asked you tn come and visit us n few days. It's pretty tough on n man of my years to go back to work again. hut NiolCt'S married now. and so I am not sn bad ofr aS thought.

Some had claimed that his brain had been injured by n fall when he was lit tie. IL was not noticed, however, while he remained in England.
 Claude had the air of one who has sucked the juice all out of life and flung the collapsed rind upon the bosom of the storm tossed sea. On the rugged banks of life he stood, with naughty miCu, and piticd people who went on year after year paving their bills and thinking thoughts.
 On, how hollow and bitter was his existence, How sorry he felt for thoso who worr American shoes while he dressed up every day ill waterproof cow hides made on Regent street and so con structcd as to prevent rattlesnakc bites at American tea parties.
 As he stood leaning against n fence. feeling strange yCarning for something moro definite, he looked down at his own shoes. which had legs t0 them laced up on the instvp and smelling like an old tanncry. H"uutCd their shapclcss and pussy" appearance, their sag in tho center and their wide, uvcrfcd and chokv,i aspect. He felt of his youngest pinplv and looked far away toward Eng land, whithvr he would go as soon as he got married and began to get an allow anCC from her father.

 She was horn tn bv loved and has hardly been out uf job during her lifetime She iS sort of grass widow raised to the third degree.

He worked, and now at tho age of S5 hC is an old man.
 She will tako warning and shun tho mad marlStrOm ill which he has wrecked his young life. She shuddcrs as she thinks of it. She also recoilS. It costs her an effort, but she rccoils.

"Scven and Six"

English newspapers ill the days when advertisements were heavily taxed pub Gshed the titles of books reviewed in their columns, but never the prices, be- cause the excise office held that an an- nexed price was an advertisement and as such taxable. The custom continued for long time after the tax on advcr- tisemcnts had been removed.
 The London newspapers also made q distinction between n simple notice of a death, for which they charged , shil- ings, and brief obituary, for which they demanded seven and sixpcnce.
 One day Dr. Thomas Hume, a grave, satirical London doctor, called at the office of morning journal and silently placed upon the counter the announce mcnt of the death of n friend, together with shillings. The clerk glanced at the paper. tossed it one side and said gruffiy, Seven and six!'
 ''I have frequently. answered Hume. had occasion to publish these simple notices, and I have never before been charged more than shillingS"
 Simple" repeated the clerk with out looking up. There's an added line, universally beloved and deeply regret ted. isn't there: Seven and six
 Hume produced the additional half crown and laid it deliberately by the others, observing i'll his most solemn tone, "COngratulate yourself, sir, that this is an expense which your executors will never be put to. ''-Youth'S Com rauiOu

 The coat and skirt invariably in such gowns arc severely plain if made in good taste. The skirt, escaping tine floor all around, is untrimmcd except by stitching above n hem and is usually without lining, though occasionally lined with gay taffcta silk the color of the vest or matching that of n shirt waist to be worn by way of variety. The coat may be long or short as one fancics and either single breasted or else Tapped at the waist line to fasten by one or two buttons. The rcvCrs and collar arc masculine in cut.

 He was had boy, and have been whipping him. But I made him kiss me afterward to show him that it was moro in sorrow than in anger that punished him.

Chinese iunks and boats have eyes carved or painted on the bows. which are usually supposed to be a mere fan ciful form of ornamcntation. But they have real meaning. as recent traveller found. In going up one of the rivers from Ningpo he was startled one day by seeing n buatman seize his broad hat and clap 1t over one of the ''eyes" of the boat, while other boats on the stream were similarly blinded. Looking about for an explanation, he saw dead body floating past, anA he wa. told by the boatmcn that if the boat had been al lowed to see" it some disaster would surely have happened either to passcn, gers or crew before the voyage was end ed.-Family Magazine.

For this is made n cir cular cover of chamoiS or silk, which ever you prefer. to be slipped over the hoop and tightly stretched. Then the edge is bound all around with bright ribbon. and about an inch apart tiny loops of narrOw> ribbon arc scwcd. each ono tipped with little silver bell.

 Gowns For Hot Days.

 Gowns For Hot Days.
 Nothing strikes one more at the pres ent time than the diversity and fantasy of the millinery of the day. The hats cannot be too large. They are crowned with waving plumes. mostly black. and are generally in conjunction with flow CTS of many hues. The bonnets arc small and placed so far back that they rest not on the head, but on the coil of fluffy hair. Some are merely n large bow attached to a minute headpiece. others with flower dropping modestly on one side, and tall loop erect on the other. Some are trimmed ill a way to suggest horns, others that the wearer is so fond of flowers that she has collected as many as she can. A few are in the close fitting shape, pointed in front. with n transparent lace butterfly or n substantial bow set up at the back of it.
 The choice in materials is exception ally large, and there never was a time when more beautiful coloring or delicacy of texture could be found. Silk, crepon, lace and chiffon are the ruling elements of the present styles. The fancy for bodices of n material and color in strong tp hAAN SAttNSS ShAIb old one, which continues to increase in popularity. and lace and chiffon are en- ployed for>this purpose quite as much as when the style was new.
 For travelling dresses the durable GOV crt coating has almost superseded the blue serge. This fabric is mostly seen in the light beige. tan and fawn colors. and occasionally in light green or gray ish blue. The useful tan shades arc not always becoming, but the brunette who finds them unsuited to her complexion can improve them by adding vest of

 ''1 was fairly entrappedl Should l draw rein and turn upon my pursuers or sink my rowels into the Hanks of my fearless little charger and seek death with him in the yawning chasm below?
 "I had but breath to decide, and as I would at least thus save my scalp from my hated pursuers I resolved to brave the latter and closed my eyes and clinched my teeth for the awful leap.
 Without swerving an inch or evinc- ing the least fear the noble animal dashed on. I felt the yielding air rush with lightning speed past me, my breath was taken from me, and then, quicker than the flight of thought, felt his fore feet strike upon the solid earth, then an instant's struggle with his hind feet, as if the ground was crum- bling beneath them, and then-heaven be praised!-I saw that we were on the firm, level ground of the prairie. with the frightful ravine between us and our baffled pursuers.
 We were safe, for not even the bray est of the Indians dared to make the desperate leap, and as the barranca doubtless extended for miles into the prairie further pursuit was out of the question.
 Tn less than two hours l reached Fort Belknap, and before the light of the next morning broke over the green expanse aparty of troopers had followed me to tho spot where 1 had left the brave young officer and the remnant of his men.
 But we had arrived too late. The spot was silent, and the ground so re gently occupied by the Kiowas was vacant, while among stones of the de- molishcd barricadc were found only the scalplcss and mangled remains of my late companions.
