She knew Arthur cared for her--shc

the happy indifference of youth she
had not looked forward TO the end OF

She wished for some one 20 go 10 for
advice. Mrs. Thayer, she knew, would
exclaim in horror over the matter. The
major had hinted the course she would
have To take. which was TO show Arthur
he had no connection with her life-if
she could.
But deep in her heart she knew she
could not do that.
Suddenly a thought came 10 her
which made her flush until the dew OF
shame stood upon her forehead. lie had
never been 20 see her, she had always
been 10 see him.
She knew that this was true. She did
not attempt 10 conceal IL from herself
now. The charm OF those rides with her
nnclc was the chance OF seeing Arthur.
The sweet. never wearying charm that

something Of a task to get acquainted
with our clothes.
A good example Of prevailing modes

"A practical hint of the future is gath
cred from the gossip of the shops. One
of the richest yet most conservative Of
the dry goods stores when sending two
buyers abroad in search of wooden
goods for next winter instructed them
not to buy crepon. believing this fabric
to have had it's day of favor with Amer
lean At last report these buy
ers cabled home that they must buy Gre
pom as there is little or nothing else in
the European market for the next sea-
son. At another house of great repute
more than two-thirds of the wool sam
pies received for next winter are crepon,
but in new and fanciful weaving, diff
ferent from anything now seen. These
crepons of the future are also two-toned,
some of them changeable, others in
stripes and plaids.
These facts are of value to economists,
who find crepons at greatly reduced
prices filing the counters of the shops
many of them a dollar less in the yard
than was asked at the beginning of the
season. Black, cornflower blue. golden

a pretty pattern, while fanciful buttons
in blue and green emphasized the effect
of this odd design.
A chemisette of ream mousseline
trimmed with lace showed daintily
where the corsage opened in front, and
the green neck ribbons were relieved by
lace frills. The waist band was green
ribbon velvet, and the skirt was
trimmed with rows of the same, in'grad-
uated widths, forming hoops more than
half the way down. Anedge Of narrow
sable fur finished the hem and the
tight part of the sleeves. With this
dress was worn a little capote of green
velvet covered with frills of shot blue
and green ribbon. A bunch of black
ostrich tips and a tall, white aigrette
finished it at the side.
A tailor-made princess dress that
walked the avenue was another model
worth consideration. 1t was in brown
repp, fitting like a glove, and without
even the usual modification of a folded
waist band. A band Of rich sable fur
edged skirt, sleeves and high, ruche-
like collar. The broad hat Of brown

was trimmed with black ostrich plumes,

IN the valley and shadows.

But the very nextday after Miss SUSIE
Bell came over to our house and talked
q little bit and said a whole lot we got
some sad and student news from the
old Pollard place. From general APP
pearments it would seem like Gabe had
made out like he was goin crazy-which
everybody says he wouldn't have no
long journey to make, But he didn't
lay down and die accordin to the prom
Use he had made Miss Susie Bell. In

went tearin in there to see what was

The hat thus pointed out was a large
affair Of silver gray velvet with high
and somewhat tapering crown. Over
this the velvet was draped in easy up
