A very small girl sat at table in
the middle Of the hotel dining room
with her father and mother, relates the
Washington Post Father was obvi-
ously business man, and he ate as
if he had spent all his life in su-
huIban town, where people always eat
IN the jump and dash off to catch the
train with the pastry course in their
hands. The child watched with grow
ing disfavor the way he made things
fly. At length she turned to her
mother. Mother" she said in her
shrill, high, carrying voice, cant you
do something to father to make him
stop eating so fast? You spanked me
for it," And fathers dinner suddenly
chok d him.

The division of statistics of the
United States Department of Agricul-

for wide distribution of lists of free
employment Offices and other institu-
tions to which farmers may apply
when in need of farm laborers. The
co operation of many charity organiza-
tion societies, settlements, colleges,
etc, has been secured, and it is hoped
thus to facilitate communications be
tween the farmers who want help and
those who are in need of work for the
summer months or for the entire year.

man kindly, will you not walk back
with me to the house?"
To take his hand, to let him get
hold upon herl 1t was CHASTITY. He
moved toward her. There seemed
nothing for it but to run, and run sh q
did, speeding over the soft lawn wit h
rapidity that astonished herself.
She could hear him calling to her, but
she sped on, till, finally, hysterical
impulse, born of her fright and fa-
tigue, took hold of her. She began
to laugh again, and the musical, half
weeping laughter hoated behind her
as she fled. Then, breathless, she
stumbled in ground moles tunnel
and fell fiat. a second later two arms
were about her and she was liftel to
her feet. She faced the lunatic.
They were of height, and they stood
looking at each other, both OF them
pale and trembling, his arm still sup
porting her.
Poor child" he murmured, chow
sorry am that frightened you. Per-
haps ought not to have run after you.

She would have liked to have ex-
planned to him that one need not come
to harm outside of their grounds, but
perhaps it was as well that he thought
otherwise. She would tell him the
truth about herself Perhaps he
would understand. All, what pity
that such an engaging face should hide

'You must try to understand" she
said, slowly, "that 1 do not live here
in the-the building, you know, came
to visit relative who is here. 1t

an acquaintance, with whom 1 was
walking moment since. 1 approached
you to ask if you knew when the next
train went to town, but when L ad-
dressed you judged from your reply
that you were one of the inmates"
Helen sank gently down on the
grass.
81 think I must rest a moment"
she said. IL am much sur rSrised!"
Her tone indicated something more
than surprise. 1t confessed to a great
relief. She paid her visit to the asy-
lum, and she and Victor Law, her
lunatic, went back on the same train
together. To both of them the after
noon seemed the most interesting of
their lives.
why were there tears in your
eyes?" she asked before they parted,
when you talked with me at frst?"
"Why, it seemed to me that 1 had
never encountered anything so sad as
a shattered mind beyond eyes So
please, pardon me-so beautiful as
yours. 1 know am rude, but I must
speak the truth. If you had been
mad, should have remembered you
with sorrow all the days of my life"
Being sane, suppose you will
forget me?"
But she knew we'll that he would
not give himself the opportunity. She
was quite certain that she should see
him often. 1t would have been a
grotesque anti-climax not to have met
again after that afternoon. Chicago

Reports from Ann Arbor tell of riffs

years have tended more and more to

One often hears of queer trades, but
perhaps the queerest is one which is
controlled in this country by one
man. This is the manufacture of
shuttle eyes. These are made of
porcelain ana require to be very care
fully made. The solitary manufac-
turer has acquired his trade wholly by
the care with which his product is
turned out and the perfect uniformity
of his goods, as result of which
every shuttle eye fits the hole into
which its predecessor was inserted.

The Popularity of Lace.

This is a season of lace without
doubt, and lace, it must be confessed,
is but another term for extravaganza,
beautiful though it is. No costume is
complete without ITS touch of lace, and
the most exquisite gowns of the sea-
son are those made entirely of the
nlmy fragile texture. One comfort
about it, however, is that any sort of
lace may be worn, and almost every
woman rejoices ;n the possession of
one or two pieces of handsome lace.
One clever girl has converted an heir
loom-a queerly shaped, cobwebby
bit of exquisite handwork, which for
merly served her grandmother as q
cap-into a unique decoration for the
front of lilac silk waist.
Another girl has two point lace COL
lars, such as were worn in the sixties.
A skillful arrangement of these, fast
ened separately in V-shape with pretty
stick pins, gives her one evening
waist of pink silk really rich ap-
pearance.
Square lace collars, the old-fash-
ioned kind, are coming i'll again, and
lace scarf, ties and boleros are seen in
profuslon. The long coats of Renais-
sance lace are the acme of extravagant
elegance. No matter how expensive
an opera wrap or fur cape may be,
they serve purpose, and ones con-
science is soothed with that comfort
ing thought, but these lace coats are
absolutely useless; they cannot we'll
be kept on over gowns, for, of course,
the whole of the beautiful frock must
be shown. 1t is only on the stage that
lace coats keep the wearer warm.
Designs in lace for applique trim
ming increase in beauty and effect.
Silver and gold threads run through
the designs now, and crystal or col
ored spangles are frequently intro
duced.
The rose pattern is very popular.
One exquisite set consists of large
flowers for the skirt and small for the
waist. The groundwork OF the rose
is white, with delicate pink woven
IN the edges of the petal, and heart
OF gold. These were to adorn gown
Of rose pink panne velvet.
y
Butterflies of black lack are very eff
fectlve on gown of white moussellne
de sole, in a diagonal pattern from
Ghoulder to waist and wandering about

and gold.
