The Little nara lroe,.

Little bare feet. sunburned and brown,
PATTERN, patterin' up and down,
Dancin' over the kitchen floor,
Light as foam flakes on the shore,
Right on they go from morn till late,
From the garden path ter the old front
= gate;
There hain't no music ter me so sweet
AS the patterin' sound of them little bare
feet.
When mend my nets by the foamin' sea,
Them little bare feet trot there with me,
And shrill little voice 1 lowell say,
'Dranpa, spin me a yarn ter-day."
And know when my dory comes ter
land,
There's a spry little form somewheres on
hand.
And the very fust sound my ears'll meet
Is the welcomin' run of them little bare
feet.
Oh, little bare feet! how deep you've
pressed
Yer prints of love in my worn old breast!
And sometimes think, when ! come ter
die,
Twill be lonesome-like in the by and by;
That up In heaven I'll long ter hear
That little child's voice so sweet and
clear;
That even there on the golden street
Ill miss the pat OF them little bare feet

Her Nrnnnisl, shoes.

Philadelphia rress: A woman who
is victim of the big shoe habit says
that when she took trip west a few
weeks ago she wore her comfort
able" heavy-soled, rubber-heeled calf
skins. In the sleeping car she gave or
ders to the porter to black them. As
her berth was the first one from the
little chicken coop place in which the
porter attends to his odd jobs, she had
no difficulty in overhearing little
conversation that took place between
him and two Of the men passengers.
'They call 'em golf shoes, don't
they" the porter remarked.
II guess So" replied one of the men
They're just strong minded shoes
The women are getting sensible. High

Look lax they made out o. cow

But the eavesdropper fell asleer
right there. In the morning three
pairs of eyes looked curiously at hel
feet and then took in slender little
lO3-pound figure. She said it was real

CHAPTER VI.

Times flies, and no man can reach his
hand to stay it. A very good thing too,
thinks Monica, as she stands before her look
Ing glass putting the last pretty touches 10
her wAitc toilet.
1t is Friday. Madam O'Connor's garden
party lies before her, and, probably, other
things Here she bushes at herself, as she
sees that pretty soul in the glass, though in
deed, she has no cause TO do so; but possi-
by the vague thought of those ''other things
has something TO do with it, and perhaps it
is for their sake too that she places with
such care the heavy, blood-colored rose be-
meath her chin.
This is the only suspicion of color about
her. Her gown is white; her hat is white
long white silk gloves run up her rounded
arms as though bent on joining her sleeves
far above the elbow. A white Surar sash is
tied round her dainty waist. She is looking
"as fair as the moon, as lovely as q rose"
and altogether distinctly dangerous.
Perhaps she half recognizes this fact, be-
cause she smiles at her own reflection, and
vain little girl that she is-stoops forward
and kisses herself in the happy glass that
holds her even for so brief minute; after
which she summons her maid from her
dressing-room beyond.
"Caaty," she says, as the "uncle's wife's
sisters child" enters, ~ am dressed now;
and"
"Shure, so you are, miss; and lovely ye
look, more power to ye."

Pockets in the Stocking.

New York letter: Stocking pockets
ore the latest fad, says a dry goods
man. They are made TO hold II roll of
bills, jewelry and valuabes that can
be stored away in a small space. Tn
pockets are worked into the top OF
the hose, above the knee. and are
made with fastening so that there is
no danger of their contents falling
out. There are so many sneak thieves
who steal from bed rooms while the
family is at dinner, from carriages
and from other places where women
are obliged TO leave their money and
iewelry when they are not in use, that
some safe receptacle about the cloth
ing of the owner is an absolute neces,
sity. Pockets are not generally found
in women's dresses, and the stocking
pocket has suggested itself to some
inventive genius. 1t looks as if these
new pockets would be as safe as any
that could be devised.
