the covering of piano keys. A peculiar
thing about it is that the skins from

| "Jack wanted to tell you all about It
long ago, though he knew you would
disapprove of me for his wife, but
begged him to wait. I told him if you
were all he said-and you are-that
was sure could make you fond Of me.
I loved you little already, because you
were Jacks uncle and had been So gooo
to him, and if like people l can al
ways make them like me little she
paused, and then after moments ST.
lence she went on:
only yesterday 1 told Jack he
might speak to you today, and low
do believe you must have guessed IT,
for here you are giving all that we
want without our even asking 1t, anu
am so glad, for we could never have
married without your consent.
Darkness seemed to fall over the
landscape, and Josiah Fry felt " sud
denly turn cold. His face blanched, but
he uttered not a sound. He merely
turned as if to go home.
Must you go now?" cried Ella, see
ing and suspecting nothing. well
perhaps it's time. It's getting dark,
and Jack will be in from Birchley falr
by this time and will want his supper.
Besides know you want to make nm
as happy as you have made me. Good
night, and thank you so much. JACK

ness"
Good night" said Josiah, mechanl-
cally, and he made his way across the
field to his own home. He staggered
somewhat as he walked. and his feet
seemed like lead, so that the short
distance across the meadow to the farm
seemed longer than ever before. For
that, however, he was not sorry, for the
meeting with his nephew was painful
to anticipate.
Josiah. however, was no coward. so
he put brave face on the matter, and
entering the parlor, where Jack was
waiting for him to come in for supper,
he exclaimed:
We'll, John, business first and sup
per afterward l want to tell thee that

told me, and, lad, thou hast my bless
ing. She is good girl and will make
thee faithful, loving wife, and thou

and the other young lady to another
large establishment. If they had been
men it would never have happened,
but, being women, each young lady
wished to see just as much without
paying for it as she possibly could. So
Finance No. 2 set out on tour Of the
other trimming rooms and with poetic
justice at her elbow she stepped un-
consciously into the trimming room of
the establishment where Finance No.
was doing her buying. The one young
lady had gone in just ahead of the 9TH
er, and in carelessly opening her ret
icule had dropped letter. Finance
No. picked up the letter. She knew
that handwriting among a thousand,
and just from force of habit she retired
to a corner and read it through. 1t told
the story plainly enough. Now, every
milliner knows that it is impossible for
two women to own the same bonnet;
and also that no woman wishes to own
bonnet after it has been worn by an
other woman. Consequently it was
very easy matter for the two finances
to agree, when they formed each 9th
er's acquaintance that evening in the
hotel that they were both done with
the young man. He was expected to
call that evening early upon fiancee
No. 1. But they both met him in fan
Gee No. 2's drawing room, where they
said, Eve thought we'd save you trou-
BILE, and give you only one pang in
stead of two, for we've both decided to
break our engagements. And now the
young man has added a new word to
Sam Weller's warning, and. he says,
Beware of vidders, and also of MILL
ners."

Vanity Fair.

Lawn parties are new society ex-
pertinent. Invitations recently sent out
from Long Island country house read
pleasure of your company to drink a
cup of coffee and hear the song of the
lark on Saturday morning at 5 o'clock.
N. Balancing in the dew" The post
script seems to indicate that the party
was merged into a Kneipp-cure affair.
Old-timers are making remarks
about the difference in travelling para
phernalia of today from that of few
years back. The average summer trav-
eler in the sos managed to get along
with a carpetbag and cloth-covered
receptacle hardly large enough to con-
tain one pulled sleeve. Even in hoop
skirt days things seemed to accommo-
datingly fold up into a small space, but
today when there is no crinoline and
girls wear simple shirt waists and plain
skirts, they require enough trunks to
stock store. Even the men are oblig-
ed to have bags galore, bicycle trunks,
golf-bags and Saratogas and old people
travel with medicine bags, half-dozen
shawlstraps filled with wraps be-
sides their trunks. That all this amaz-
ing mass of bags, trunks and boxes is
so swiftly and safely handled by the
so-called baggage-smashers is subject
of wonder.
Big dinners are so common nowadays
that an announcement such as "Mr.
and Mrs. Jameson James will give
dinner of 200 covers, followed by a
dance at their Newport cottage" passes
without special notice. A few years
ago the entertainment of such num-
Der at private house would have been
out of the question. 1t was not long
ago that the Bradley Martins startled
society by building a new room over
their backyard in New York, especial
ly for the accommodation of the sup
none of the ultr3- smart New York set
would consider for an instant house
which did not have rooms large enough
for all purposes. Twenty-Five years
ago few houses were large enough even
for dances, and only Mrs. Astor and
Mrs. August Belmont had picture gall
leries which could be converted into
bathrooms in case of necessity. That
made the popularity of the Patriarchs
and such organizations, but such a
state is now rapidly passing away, as
there are twenty private bathrooms in
New York today where there was one
fifteen years ago. This is true also at
all tho hip and fashionable eastern wa
tering places.

She accompanied her words with a
little squeeze of his brawny hand which
she then raised to her lips and kissed.
Josiah felt his blood coursing nadlv
through his veins. He was delighted
to find himself SO beloved, and, though
he was distinctly being courted by this
young maid, it was so sweet to him
that his sense of the proprietics was in
no way shocked.

A SNAKE BITE.
Remarkable Recovery After Being
Bitten.

Remarkable Recovery After Being
Mr.. F. T. Summers, who arrived in
Liverpool on September 8 from the
west coast Of Africa, tells an extraor-
binary tale of his recovery from snake
bite: Mr.. Summers, who was chief en-
gfneer of the steamer Ebani, had an
encounter with dOuble-horned yiDer
The snake was about feet long, and
Summers is said to be the only man in
Africa who has ever survived a bite
from a snake of this species. 1t seems
that the natives of Opobo reported a
wild elephant in the bush, and District
Commissioner Stein of the Niger
Coast Protectorate and Mr.. Summers
went in pursuit. The snake, which
made dash at Summers unobserved
fixed its fangs in the ankle of the right
boot After getting free Summers. who
showed great pluck, managed with the
aid of his companion, to dispatch the
viper by blowing it's head off. Imme-
diately after being bitten Summers
leg commenced to swell, and he was
carried with all speed to the consul
late. In less than an hour the leg was
three times it's natural size, and the
clothing had to be cut from Summers,
body. DIR. Thompson, of the Protecto-
rate, who treated the injury, twice in
5ected into the wound either iodine or
bromide of potassium. The poison of
the viper had entered Summers hodv
and even the doctor thought death
would take place within nine hours
The chiefs and natives who had been
consulted by the doctor to see if thew
knew OF any native antidote, said ali
persons previously bitten had died IN
about an hour. Summers was eleven
days in the consulate receiving the
unremitting attention of DR.. Thomn-
son, and although he was at times de-
ur1ous, he pulled through. His recov-
cry created great establishment. DR.

in the night to disturb the peace Of the
last days of a restful summer, which
brought no thought of how to fashion
our garments, no tiresome visits to the
dressmaker's. Now the dainty summer
dress must be cast aside for the more
substantial materials and elegance Of a
winter outfit.
What shall wear?" is the question
that confronts every woman the mo-
ment she arrives inAtown, and the sum-
mer vacation rapidly becomes an indis-
tinct memory of relief, comfort and I'M
appreciated JOY as the trying problem
asserts itself and the work of refur-
nishing her entire wardrobe goes on.
The most definite mode which meets
her eye just at the moment is the
blouse in every possible variation Of
fulness and decoration which fashion
can DEVISE To be sure. it is not alto
troduced in the spring, when it was
we'll received, but it is here now with
emphatic declaration. and blouse of
some sort seems to be fashionable
necessity for all the women who are
slender enough to wear it with grace.
Stout women are advised by one au-
thority on fashion ''to avoid it as they
would the plague" but slight
pouched effect in the front of bodice
is often becoming to generously pro-
portioned figures.
The latest winter blouse has basque
formed of either square tabs or scant
frill, the former being the favorite mo-
del, as it adds less to the size of the
hips. The effect Of long waist is
essential to the good style of blouse,
and the narrow jeweled belt is an
other important feature. But this is
rather EXPENSIVE, and very satisfac-
| tory belt can be made of black satin
ribbon wide enough to wrinkle little
on a white or colored satin lining, and
fastened with an oval cut-steel buckle.
The Russian blouse is properly a
street garment, worn over fancy bo-
dice of silk or lace, and fastens up the
front or not, as you choose, being some
times turned back two inches on either
side to show a pretty colored satin
lining or velvet facing. It is decorated
deliberately with braid and beaded trim
mings and edged with handsome fur,
and is altogether charming on the right
woman. If you are very slight, the
blouse is cut loose. to fall a little over
the belt all the way around, and If not
it may be plain and close in the back
cut in one piece, loose in front, with the
| SQUARE tabs below the belt, made Iona
or short as they are most becoming.
Very pretty effects for house dresses
made with the blouse waist are pro.
duced with black velvet either an inch
and a half or two inches wide. This
is sewn in stripes up and down, the
width of the velvet apart, on white satin
which forms the bodice.

demoralized by the perpetual making
Of fine gowns and furbelows for the
ladies of the neighborhood. and Ella

Of thought was broken by Elias gay
voice.
ooh, Mr.. Fry" she said, II have
watched you all day, and l have
thought how tired you must be. You
are a good bit older than l am and l
know I get awfully tired of work and l
expect you do, too"
The Quaker drew himself up to his
full height and his handsome, middle

locks, looked grand to Ella as he le-

Joshua's reply was not very coherent,
but whatever he said he certainly
thought a good deal of Ella after this,
and he decided that, although she did
not belong to the Society of Friends
she looked as sweet and good as any
young Quaker maid-she might yet be
converted, and she had asked him to

he suddenly startled himself by ex-
claiming as he pondered over the mat

night.
she is only frail sapling now he
said to himself; 'but she will learn and
will grow, and the mightiest oak was
once an acorn"
From this time Josiah made point
of seeing Ella Massie frequently and
doing his best to convert her to his
ideas and opinions. He found in her
docile, loving nature, and her pretty
ways fairly charmed him.
The idea of having her about the
house was certainly attractive, and yet
somehow he could not picture her
there as Johns wife-the girl had
fairly twined herself about his heart,
and by the time the golden harvest hal
come Josiah knew the fact only too
well.
At first he chided himself and told
himself he was an old fool. 1t was
absurd to think that beautiful girl
of 20 would care for an old widower Of
more than double her age. Still, after
all, at even five and forty, man can
love, and love passionately, and Josiah
loved Ella with all the strength of his
soul. He would not, of course wish
to steal her away from his nephew,
but Johns had been probably mere
he, though?-yes, he believed he was
quite sure-that Ella loved him.
One beautiful August evening, after
the days work was over. Josiah Fry
and Ella stood talking in the cleaning
at her mothers gate.

this evening because 1 have something

The girl looked down for a moment
and then, though she blushed deeply,
she gazed at him with her lovely 5lue
eyes and said:
Eyes, Mr.. Fry, felt sure you would
say something soon."
Josiah looked radiant. It was
strange how Elias words pleased him,
and yet they were not like those he
should have expected from a Quaker
maid. Still it was delightful to think
how she had understood him, and no

AS 1 thought Of golden June
And lovers who sang, Love never dies
While boats drift under the moon.
For white wings come and white sails go
Drifting out into the dawn,
But memory comes with refluent flow,
And it's true as ever it was, 1 know,
That love lives on and on.
1t comes with the touch or the clasp Of a
hand,
Or the glance of a strangers eye,
Or a kindly act in foreign land,
Or the CLEAN of starry sky.
Or a drifting boat on silver lake,
Or a lily you touch with your oar.
Or the sound of the winds and waves that
break
In melody on the shore.
But as long as white wings come and 90
Or drift in the rosy dawn.
While memory comes with refluent flow,
1t is true as ever 1t was. l know,
That love lives on and on.
