Patrice went slowly up to her own
room and conquered her inclination
TO cry and not to dress herself pref
tily."

she dressed her hair in her prettiest
style. ooh, thank God, have dear

Sholto Graham had called TO see Pa

little ill-bred OF her not to be at home
to receive him, though she had no idea
he was coming. He had been longing
to see her darling face again all the
way down from Scotland" he told
himself, and he was just in the mood
TO have stayed and dined with her had
she used much persuasive eloquence.
AS it was he determined to punish her
by going to his sister instead. Mag
gies conduct contrasted very fayorap.y
with Patrices. Maggie-the much-oe-
cupied Lady Gwenap-had sent a note
over by private messenger to the Ell
feet that she should make point OF
staying at home to see him this tirst
night of his return Whereas Patrice
had gone out with that fellow Thor

feelings. He forgot that he had ac-

Perhaps" he answered "but you

bitter tears, have you? I'm satisfied. "
You didn't want her, then?'
We'll. I'm satisfied that she should
win the bet"

RED HAIR AND PAINTED LIPS.

The very becoming effect of the red
hair worn by Princess Flavia in THE
Prisoner of Zenda' has led to the pop
ularify Of very rudy tone OF bright
brown in the fashionable dye for hair,
Girls whose locks were golden in the
summer are now crowned with russell
coiffures. 1t is certain that red hair
brings out all the pearly tones in the
skin, subduing the sallow tints, ana
gives a deeper tone 10 the eyes. Even
men are said to be affecting the new
wash | called it dye" q few lines
above, forgetting that there Is now no
such thing as hair dye, 1t Is always
a wash" Sounds so clean and inno-
cent, you know But some linking OF
its true nature may be gathered from
the cost. More than one smart matron
has said to herself, very much to her
self: shall have new tea gown or
half a dozen bottles of the new wash?'
She cant afford both, you know!
The new color, then, is a deep au-
burn. and yet peculiarly bright red
tint in THE high lights. Rust is the
principal Ingredient in the dye. II is
a harmless one, and gradually wears

consequence.
Mothers actually take their lovely
children, boys as well as girls, TO have
their hair dyed the fashionable red
sunset purple" as it is called by some.
Baby fringes are used on some OF these
scraps, bought in the BARRIERS shops

Now it seemed as II the sun OF success
was going to shine on him benetcently.
The post for which he had crayed was
his and he was to be richly paid for

which had urged him to fight for for

born. He still had his mother and sis

prize that would have made that labor
sweet had been won by another man,
by man, too, who was not so capable
of esteeming it at its true worth as
Thorburn was.

GRAFTON MEETING.
Linotype Machines Raise Row
Other Matters to Be
Considered.

Cincinnati, Dec. 10. The sixteenth
annual convention of the American
Federation of Labor was called to or
der yesterday morning by President
Gompers Only 100 delegates were
present including Representatives or
England and France. An address or
welcome was responded to by Com
pers. A bitter contest is promised
over the action taken by the Inter-
national Typographical union at the
Colorado Springs convention, where
by 1t declared that the printers shall
have full charge of linotype ma
chimes, This action is said to be
tantamount TO declaration OF war
against the International Association
OF Machinists, and there Is no telling
where the trouble may end. The de-
cision of the printers practically
means that linotype operators Will
not only run type-setting machines.
but will keep them in repair, thus
doing the work OF maehinists This
is claimed to be direct violation OF
the rights OF trades unions as accord
ed by the federation and contrary to
all ethics OF organized workingmen.

Another question of Importance is
the location OF headquarters. lnere
is no one who defends the plan TO
retain them at indianapolis. Wash
ington and Chicago are the favorites
with the latter I'm the lead. Inc
claim is made that Washington IL
always a hotbed Of politics and the
officers should not be forced to live
there. 1t is also claimed that as the
Knights of Labor have headquarters
in Washington and there is battle
royal In sight between them and the
federation 1t would be poor policy 10
have the two headquarters In the
same city. All the trouble that has
occurred in the Chicago labor move
ment for years is said to have been
brought about by men who claimed to
speak for the officers OF the fedora
