One bright idea Of the club women is the
opening in towns Of a '"rest ROOM" where
the farmers wife may stay on Saturday.
With the latest magazines and the ever
comforting cup of tea. this weary weekly
shopper may find mental and bodily refresh
ment. This work has been particularly es-
poused by Missouri club women. In other
parts the farmers wife is looking out for
herself. as instanced at Lapeer. Mich. In
this town the women of the surrounding
country have rented two rooms in the

chance TO belong to any club.

When in our hours of ease or in the mo-
ment stolen from morning cares we take up
the magazine or newspaper there confronts
us the pictured faces of lovely women
dressed in smiles and evening gowns. Some
times the smile is missing. but the evening
gown is always in evidence. Before the
mind float visions of balls, weddings and
dinners where these lovely beings breathe
their natural atmosphere. which, presum-
ably. is always perfumed with flowers.

If women occupy public or semi-public
positions of honor and dignity, places where
the sterner virtues are active and where
seriousness is a necessity, why do they let
themselves be represented for all the world

There is one incontrovertible reason for
posing before the camera in open-necked

some sort of scarf or boa that would soften
the effect of the high collar a la mode and
modest-not that evening dress is immod-
est. but there are occasions on which 1t Is
inappropriate. In fact. most women are ex-
ceedingly particular about the etiquette Of
evening dress. especially avoiding 1t at
hotels and many other public places where
the assemblage is not gathered under the
roof of a private house.
We go to hear an able woman speak
from the platform on subjects of wide public
interests. She has a noble presence and a
gift for oratory, moreover: her heart and
mind are filled with her subject, and through
her strong personality she moves TO aid
the cause for which she pleads. The next
day her address is recorded in the paper and
as its accompaniment there is a picture from
a much retouched negative of a simpering
face from which the valuable character
lines have been erased, while the figure is
clothed in the pretty fnery of evening
dress. Then We wonder what is wrong. and
fancy that the man who inserts pictures in
the newspaper forms must nave lost the
strong. benignant likeness Of the subject of
the text and have substituted in his despair
the portrait of some fiippant summer resort
belle.

things, and II we know a woman only in
her public work let US see her picture as

CHAPTER XVII,

From one to the other Lord Mont
fort glanced in wondering surprise; but
surprise merely. His glance held no
suspicion either of his wife or of bis
friend.
With swift, graceful movement, Dor
othy gained Arkwright's side. A silent
prayer quivered on every feature.
"Spare me-" she murmured, so low
that only his ear caught the whisper:
Mechanically, he extended his hand.
He forced his lips to speak; he forced
himself to laugh.
Lady Montfort is right he said.
"We have met before. Doubtless she
will explain to you tomorrow the rea-
son for our mutual surprise
''No old love affair, 1 trust?" ex-
claimed the husband.
Then Arkwright passed on to greet
his friends mother whom he had
known and admired since the early
days of his boyhood, when first she
had hidden him welcome to Montfort
Castle as Herbert's friend.
But some constraint had fallen on
the little group.
Lord Montfort's mother playfully
pointed to the clock, and drew the
young wife's arm within her own as a
signal that they should retire.
In passing Arkwright. she again

the night. Herbert's mother followed
her to her door. and then took her in
her arms.
"Good-night!' she murmured. Our
prayers tonight will mingle for our
boys return. Heaven will answer
them, my child-my daughter!"
She breathed the last words as one
breathes a blessing; but at their sound
the young wife grew pale.
An instant she stood still, listening to
the soft, retreating footsteps; then she
barred the door, and with all the light
faded from her face, all the laughter
cholied in the sob which trembled on
The stiffness. prone on her knees she

1'ha Department Of Agriculture on
Monday last published its final report for
the season. The text of the report is as
follows:
''The statistician of the Department
of Agriculture reports 100000 bales as
the probable cotton production OF the
United States for 1S99-1900. This estl-
mate is based upon a larger number Of
both general and special reports than has
ever before been received by the De-
partment in connection with a cotton
crop; while weather conditions during the
past thirty days have been mainly favor
able to whatever picking remained to be
done, so that the general condition OF the
crop is slightly behind that Of one month
ago. Investigations leave absolutely no
doubt that the crop is even smaller than
was intimated i'll either Of the statlstl-
clans previous reports.
While the above report failed to exert
any material influence upon prices
either here or abroad. it is pretty thor.
oughly understood that the Department
has this season made a more careful III
yestigation of the crop situation, and that
consequently the reports which IT mas
published from time to time are entitled
to greater credence than those issued IN
previous years. The testimony Of the
most reliable people in the Southern
States fully confirms the Department
estimate. With crop OF S,900,6dfl bales,
and a consumption which promises to ex-
coed that of any previous year, supplies
will be reduced to very small proportions
before another crop shall become ayalla-
