mind, Mrs. Merrie; this is our little
affair. We've arranged for the incest
boarding-place, where you can enjoy
the first quiet Christmas of your mar
ried life. AS to the honeywell,
your board is paid. Pa says you may
stay as long as you want to-"
Il reckon you-all will have your
own way" the mother grumbled.
THE money must come out of poor
Jacks hard earnings, or your pa make
a sacrifice. You might tell me where
I'm going, anyhow! And / wonder if
your royal highness and his majesty,
DR.. Temple, and his grace, John Mer-
rie, will let me take my knittin'
along? Cause if you-all don't / sha mt
know what to do with my hands in
your fine company"
Joe smiled as she tucked Jesse's
half-fnished sock into the grip. 'Oh,
yes! you can take it. There won't
be company, though; we want you
to rest"
and whatever is to become of the
work-and the sewing-and my bless
ed baby"
Jess is no baby-a great siX-year-
old boy! It's pity, ma, if we can't
take care of things This is your
medicine, and you shall take it, if we
have to hold your nose! There, now;
l want to get you ready. Pa is bring
ing up the cart"
Mrs. Merrie submitted herself in
resigned silence. There was a taint
of affectation in her resistance, for un-
der all was a lurking sense of pleas
ure. Well, why not accept the rest
and change? There come times in our
lives when it is profitable to hide
from our dearest.
Joe's soft touches on her head
smoothed out the worry-wrinkles
from preE'aturely aged brow. BY
the time Mr.. Merrie came in she could
answer the twinkle in his eye. He
was good-humored giant, who, in
sublime unconscousness and with
the best intentions in the world, had
trodden on her heart for 90 years.
"Come on, old LADY," he said, shrug-
ging into his overcoat. well be rid
of you and yer faintin' spells in a
jitfy! Wrap her up warm, girls; 1t
ain't none too pleasant abroad. Not
that mothers one o. yer deliky carry
me-easy kind! Here's her thing-um-
bob. Now git through the kissin'."
There were no tears, save those Mrs.
Merrie softly let fall in weak self
pity. Was it really so easy to let her
go? She looked back wistfully as she

WHAT t0e lack in the
w production of fashions

TTAS the burst of patriotism that
caused the women of the fash
ionable set in New York and
other cities in this country to patroniZe
home industry in the purchase of their
gowns had it's full run?
For many years the ultra-fashionable
set in America have been patrons of the
fashionable costuming establishments
of London, Paris, Vienna and Berlin,
but with the breaking out of the war
with Spain the ladies displayed their
patriotism by purchasing their gowns
at home. Now the trend seems Paris
ward again, and l put the above ques-
tion to one of the leading dry goods
trade journal writers-a member of
the staff of the Dry Goods Economist
a few days ago, and received this re-
ply:
america cannot produce the novel
ties of design either in materials or
completed costume that the American
woman demands. Our American wom-
en- lead the world with their costumes;
they set the styles for Europe as we'll
as America, but their ideas to secure
the best results must be carried out in
Paris, for we lack both the men and

SARAH DAVIDSON.


1t is not generally known that there
exists among Turkish ladies of high
class a kind of caste feeling similar to
that prevailing among Hindoos. 1t
takes the form of fear of contamina-
tion from the oster world and is only
observed by those who cannot afford o
keep servants in sufficient numbers.
Before meals ladies always wash their
hands at tap from which the water
runs into a marble basin. They will
turn on the tap when they are just 60
ing to wash. but when they have fin
ished they let the water run till some
body shuts it off, as to do il themselves
would make them unclean. They can
not open or shut door. as the handle
would be unclean, so a slave is gener-
ally kept handy for the purpose.-N. Y.

p!umes, velvet hats are to be the strong
point. Smooth covered, draped or made
of velvet braid-that is to say, folds of
velvet used as braid, sometimes with
chenille. For instance, fold of velvet
edged with chenille is twisted into hat
shape. These combinations are used
either of black or pastel tints of velvet
edged with black chenille, trimmed
with white or black feathers and re-
lieved with gold. Pearls and turquoise
are ornaments which are very much
seen in the velvet hats.
In color the new century will be
ushered in amid burst of red. Red vel

was driven off at rattling pace, and
saw the old house dissolve into the
general gray. Nature had turned
Quaker this day. and gray was the
only color she wore. The fog hung
low, dropping tears. Not a pleasant
day, yet a sense of eXhilaration came
to her. 1t was a novel sensation to
be driving thus, without so much as
chicken or a basket of eggs as an
excuse. There was almost the spice
of wickedness to make her ride
memorable.
"There's old Markles MILL" John
observed, checking the horse. "Old
Markle he don't keep her up like he
used to. She's a-gittin' crazy loollin',
the old mill is. If that was my
place"
He rambled on cheerfully. Mrs.
Merrie scarcely heard. The dim land
scape was like picture seen in child
-soft-shrouded, unreal, yet deli
cately beautiful. She drew short,
sharp breath. why do we live so
hard?" she faltered. Look out, God
has crowded His world with pleasant
things."
"Well. I dunno!" he answered.
"Git long, Poke-easy! Dye reckon
we're in such a rush to git we can't
stop, and run on past?"
The ride was long one. Were
goin' TO meet Christmas" John re-
marked, with a wink. "If she don't
hump herself Well be at headquar-
ters afore she gifts started!" But by
and by visions of dinner and a fire
side appealed to him coaxingly, and
he decided Christmas might find its
way unattended. He put the horse
into a trot, and after awhile the road
grew familiar. Mrs. Merrie held her
peace till they were fairly in the lane
leading home.
Have you forgotten anything?"
she asked, dryly, suspecting prac-
teal joke, and ready to resent it.
John helped her down carefully and
set her grip on the horse block. Not
bit of it," he answered, heartily.
Il started with the best little woman
ever bit of her! Here's yer boardin'
house, missus, board paid in advanced"
The noise of their arrival brought
four rosy young faces to the door.
Jack (the oldest JAY ran laughing
to the gate, and kissed her mother
on the cheek. "Our new boarder!"
she said, taking the valise. "Come

sisters, Josephine, Jemima and Je-
rusha. I'm Jack! Come in here and
lay off your wraps. This is mas room
when she's home. Over there is
your sitting-room. Are you much
tired or cold?"
Mrs. Merrie was a Jay herself, as
capable of enjoying a bit of delicate
humor as the rest of them. So this
was the solving of the problem, the
vacation which was to cost nothing!
She turned away her face after the
first laugh, that they might not wit
ness the passing of the swift storm
which shocked through the gentle
habit of patience.

she said, after that pause. Il am
sure | shall like my boarding lause
if you think-if you truly believe

''In advance" four voices chorused.
'You have been saving up and pay
ing for 90 years." Jack whispered,
tenderly, looking into her eyes. "Oh,
we feel-we understandable YOU
have always been to us!"
Here Jerry pushed determinedly to
the front. II am to attend you,
ma 'am," she said. '"Your board bill
includes service. If the young ladies
and the big male-Jay will please to
clear out Ill take off your damp
clothes and make you comfortable. -

likewise Joe's dainty beribboned knit
slippers. The new boarder sank lux

stretched her feet to the warmth.
Opposite her hung mirror. and from
time TO time she glanced wondering
ly at the face reflected there. 1t
was not, after all, the face of an old
, woman, although it had exchanged
the crude pink of youth for the in
definable delicacy of maturity. The
eyes met hers. full of light, and about
the mouth were those wistful lines
which tell of dreams not yet relin-

is a rich garnet, with a slight car
dinal tinge, giving it life rather than
dullness. Hats of this are made in all
shapes and are preferable trimmed in
roses and foliage. Many of the green
leaves of velvet or other textures are
used on such affairs and are a relief
from the fancy feather ideas of the
early season.
Another of the fads of the hour in
the way of millinery is gold roses. 1t
is but an outcome of the craze for gold
that has not yet reached an end. These
roses are made of beautiful, thin gold
cloth and are exquisite in their richness
and artistic effect. They are tasteful
and novel. and when properly combined
and worn by the right person are very
effective. These gold roses are COM
bined with empire green velvet leaves,
and are especially liked upon black,
garnet and green velvet hats.

the verdict.
Last summer" Jim remarked,
gravely, Il went off to Cousin Vic's,
and kept my hands white. It's mas
turn now"
"But ma amt agoin' to your Cousin

lutely. Mas agoin' to stay right

The word money" brought frown
to four faces. "Well, we1l get sup
per and talk it over" Joe said, sober
ly. "You lie still and rest"
MA" was nothing loath. 1t was
very pleasant lying there in the twi-
light, watching the shadows clasp
hands and dance along the rafters.
Even the odor of camphor. suggestive
of illness, did not trouble her. The
room grew very quiet. She was a
little girl again, out in her fathers
boat hunting pond lilies, when Jim
patted her hand.
Here's your toast and tea. moth

Take it now while it's hot. We've
talked it all over with pa, and have
decided about your vacation. You are

vented argument.
We'll" she said, fumbling with the
cup. How white the lilies are! Well
yes"
Mrs. Merrie found herself helpless
in the hands of husband and children.
They would not let her prepare the
morning meal, and it was novel
sensation to lie and listen to the
cheerful sounds from the kitchen.
Joe sang as she hustled about, and
came in presently, an open valise in
her hand.
I'm packing your things, mother
she announced. Its just awful to
discover how few things you have to
pack! Why didn't you remind us you

the facilities for doing so in this coun-
try.
Our facilities for manufacture are
not yet high enough in many interests
to produce materials that will suit the
critical taste of this class of society.
But in addition to lack of manufac-
turing facilities we lack also the ar
tistic class who have turned their ar
tistic faculties to mercantile art. We
have the artists, but they would rather
put their ideas on unsaleable canvas
than upon saleable dress goods. Yet
the reproduction of artistic designs in
fabric was really the origin of the ma
jority of European art centers.
when we can supply the designs
and have the facilities for manufac-
ture the American woman will buy her
gowns at home rather than go to Paris
for them. And, as American ideas are
now valued in Paris, New York may be-
come the fashion center of the world
when we produce the needed men and
methods"
