A LATE JUDGMENT.
How 1t Happened That Bertha Merrill Broke Her
Engagement With Louis Sargent.

The streets were covered with a light
fall Of snow. and it was raining.
Louis Sargent stopped for a moment on
the corner of Winter street and held his
umbrella high above his head while he
waited for the crowd to part and let him
pass.
He bad decided that to walk home across
the common in the rain could not be more
disagreeable than ride in the overloaded
cars of wet people would be. But a Back
Bay car stopped directly in front of him,
and hat and the poise of head seen in
distinctly through the car window changed
his mind, and he stepped on the back plat
form of the car just as it was moving on.
well. this is delightful, isn't it?" he
said. smiling down at her.
She started and looked up at him, and
then, to his complete amazement, looked
away down the car. There had been no
dawn of recognition in her eyes.
The women sitting next to her looked
from one to the other with amused cuIios-
ity. He pushed his way back to the door,
and when the car reached Arlington street
jumped off and walked quietly away.
his engagement to the young lady, who
had been pleased not TO recognize him. had
been formally announced only few days
before.
There was no explanation in his mind
for this unexpected rudeness from her.

He looked at her for moment, his face

When he had closed the door she took
the letter from her pocket and went with

and then at her desk slipped it into an-
other envelope and addressed it to Louis

Bertha Merrill found the letter waiting
for her on the ball table when she came
down to breakfast the next morning. She
caught it up and kissed il again and again,
the tears springing to her eyes.
There, had my face all cooled down,

before the hall glass and hopping her face

herself. You'll feel all right sto-morrow,

waiting for you-why. what on earth's the
matter with you?"
Nothing, dear. I'm all right. What

to before then. What's YOUR face all
pulled out this way for? You look as
though you had cried for week. Nothing
wrong with Louis, h0pe?"
She sat down at her place at the table
without answering.
What? o, there is. Look here. Don't
let any little misunderstanding or imagina-
tions come up and spoil your happiness,
my dear. It's ten 10 one when there's any

PAPER Lamp Shades.

To make paper lamp shades composed of
three different colOrs, one above another,
the crimped paper should be obtained in
three well-assorted tnts. They are TO be
bought made expressly for lamp shades in
one circular length. They are best ar
ranged on the wire placed over the lamp.
1t minimiZes the trouble of stretching
upward to place the lamp on a milking
stool. Slip the paper over, draw 1t together
at the top, leaving good heading. and
then tie it loosely with string round the
wire, by which means you can regulate the
fUllness carefully till it is equal all round,
aud then tighten the string. In the same
way place the two other papers separately
over. The Lowest paper is then bent
under about two inches above the edge,
the next is formed into a couple of waves
and the upper one drawn up in waves
abOve, so that il makes about FIVE van
dykes all round. The paper remains as
you press II. and the result is pretty,
most graceful shade.-Decorator and Fur

She had intendsd to show him that she
was angry with him. of course, but she
had taken an objectionable way of doing
so.
He was very angry himself By the time
he had reached his apartment on Newbury
street.
'She shall write me some plausible apol-
ogy for this before l shall take the trouble
TO see her again" he decided, as he closed
the door.
There was a parcel on the table and
letter lying on the top of it. He went over
and took up the letter hastily. The ex-
PLANTATION was waiting him.
He tore open the envelope and disclosed
an inner envelope addressed to the young
lady in his own handwriting.
''She has sent back the note / sent her
this morning unopened Why, what does
this mean?' he exclaimed aloud.
He turned to the package on the table
and cut the strings quickly, his hands
trembling and all his anger gone.
The letters that be had written her
through the happy weeks and months of
their engagement were all there. There
was little box with the ring aud his pic
ture and other things that he had given
her.
There was no word of explanation any
where among them.
After long time he raised his face and
looked around the room that was now
growing dark.
There had been but one reason present

and yet he could but deny the possibility
of Its being that reason.

waiting he sat down at his desk and wrote
to her. begging for an explanation and
asking that he might come to her and be

The Curve in Hats.

The great point in hats nowadays,
writes Cousin Madge in London Truth, is
the character of the curve. If we suppose
a family of some nine or ten sisters, with
a certain similarity of outline, we shall
yet find that no two of them look their
best in exactly the same hat. What then
must it be with the world of grlhood at
large? 1t Is absolutely safe to say that
there never was yet any hat worn by sis
tiers in which one was not to certain ex-
tent sacrificed TO the other. Take for in
stance the large picture hat of soft and
flexible fine black chip, with its multitude
of exquisite feathers for trimming, and its
one blush rose at the back with another
companion bud resting on the hair under
the curve at the left side. 1t might be mag
ined that such o headgear as this would
make any girl look her loveIiest, but when
one comes to try it on it IS found that a
certain amount Of alteration IN the very
important point of curve will be necessary
In most cases.

A novelty in pale pink Russian net
sprinkled with black spots and delicately
perfumed is known as the complexion
VEIL" and is particularly becoming to
blondes.
Mrs. Elizabeth Kingsoury. in discussing
the question why women do not marry,
says that the principal reason is because
Of the financial situation in which many
wives are kept.
In high life nobody is kissed on the
mouth. 1t is bad form and bad hygiene.
And in these days when it is crime to be
old aud every woman over IS makes up
with -glycerine and rice powder kiss

ance. Every man of the world knows
this. That's why he kisses his wife's

mastered the secret of that pert little
knot. If the hair is worn waved on the
sides this should be done before the knot

Pretty Portiere.

The cheapest material for portieres is
denim. which may now be procured not
only in the old-fashiOned weave, that is
dark blue on one side and light blue on the
other, but also 10 warm shades of blue and
red that are designed especially for hang
ings. In making pOrtieres of this fabric
allow two widths for each and cut the
widths fourteen inches longer than the de-
sired length of the portiere.
Seam the TWO widths together on the
wrong side to within ten inches of the up
per edge and four inches of the lower
edge; seam the balance of the length on
the right side and press the seam fiat on
both sides.

inches wide for each pOrtiere. Turn the
latter for hens on the right side at the TOD
