New York Tribune.
Probably ninety-nine men out Of hun
dred who have been refused by their first
love have lived to be devoutly thankful
that they were not taken at their word.
while such is the irony of fate that women
are apt to regret their lost opportunities.
1t is not often, however, that what might
have BEEN is brought so directly home as
in the case of an unexpected and not alto
gether pleasant happening Of the last sum-
mer. A very prominent lawyer, whose
large practice and successful investments
justified the most luxurious living, took a
large house for his family at Oldport, and
thither they all betook themselves, with
horses and carriages and automobiles and
a large staff of servants After a Few
weeks vacation, however, Mrs. Thompson
decided that her daughters would be the
better for a little regular employment, ana
inserted an advertisement for governesS
in one of the New York dailies. She re-
ceived several answers, selected one that
pleased her, and after a short correspond
ence on the subject, engaged a Miss Anna
Blank as companion and governesS for her
children, without having mentioned the
name of her husband. Her own name-Mrs.
H Thompson-conveyed no particular i'm
preston to her new inmate, who arrived
at the time appointed and proved to be a
pleasant. rather colorless. middle.agsd
just what Mrs. Thompson required. AS Mr..
Thompson came down only for Sundays
and Miss Blank arrived on Monday, the
latter did not meet him, until she had be-
come accustomed to her new duties, and
was, so to speak. a member of the family.
1t was not until the introduction took
place when Miss Blank came down after
dinner Saturday evening with her pupils
(Mrs. Thompson being quite English In her
habit of having her children with her only
at .luncheon) that there was mutual
recognition.
Years before, when Mr.. Thompson was a
struggling young lawyer and Miss Blank
the belle of her native village, he had been
madly in love with her. So much SO that
when she refused him his entire future
seemed blasted and life utterly worthless.
How he left for the metropolis, how he sue
ceeded. how he married and lived to bless
the day Anna Blank had driven him forth
to seek his fortune, is too long to tell.
Heavens, what an escape" he said. to
himself after the recognition, comparing
the shabby little figure and wrinkled face
of his old love with the fine presence of
his still beautiful wife, while the former,
contrasting her lonely condition with that
of the woman who was surrounded by the
good things of this world, could not help

sible, and If the frames themselves are not
at hand, pin the curtains out on sheets

tain left with even an edge as may be.
Open the windows and let in the out-of-
door air while the lace dries.
The proper way to launder a white lace
veil is similar to that of washing. curtains
The veil need not be soaked over night In
stead, begin by putting 1T into strong
latner Of white soap and clear water and
letting it simmer slowly for fifteen or
twenty minutes. Remove it from the
water and squeeze 1t well, but do not rub
it. Rinse it i'm clear cold water. then in

muslin over it and iron 1t on the wrong

Lace edging is not at all beyond the skill
of the home laundress. Those who have
made the attempt declare that the sum-
merry gowns that are trimmed with black
lace edging are not unpleasantly affected
by the wash tub, and that the black lace,
far from being ruined, looks we'll after
ward. Black lace should, however, be
dried far from the fire and heat of any
kind, as ii is likely to turn it rusty. Black
lace, not on a dress, may be dried by plac-
ing it on a dry towel. stretching il out.
then covering it with another dry towel to
absorb the moisture. To wash white lace

out on a piece of muslin cloth and sew
in into place. Now put the lace, muslin
and all, into good lather and let 1T boil.
Rinse il in clear water and put 1t in the
sunlight to dry. When thoroughly dry, cut
the stitches and the lace will be as good
as new.

Much space has been given in these notes
to the comparative isolation of consump-

seem to the general public that too much
stress is laid upon these factors by sani-

exist, are forcibly shown by DR.. Raw, of
England. As a rule the consumptive is
looked upon by his friends and relatives as
hopelessly stricken, and he is, therefore

which all fresh air is religiously excluded.

Our SET" pretty girl was heard to say,
''does not go to college,
1t is quite true. Womens colleges are no
longer favored by extremely fashionable
people and coeducational institutions never
were. Private schools. or, more exclusive
still, private governesses and tutors for
their daughters, two years at an Eastern
finishing school and European trip is the
present style Of education. The European
trip is held to be quite as instructive as a
college course. and to take both would un-
duly put off the coming OUT period.
Many a girl is eighteen before she is pre-
Pared for college; after four years there
and two in Europe it would not be a bud
but full-blown rose of twenty-four who
would make her debut.
Book learning, argue the mothers, is not
everything. The girls must be fluent in two
languages besides their own, their voices
must be trained; nice needlework Is also
one of the womanly fads of the day. These
things take time Then the physical side
must be cultivated; there are fencing, dam
cling and riding lessons.

Zone of the prettiest occupations in the

representative Of a well-known art publish

The methods pursued by an individual
worker who aims to produce unique effects
are entirely different from those of a big
modern bindery, and the trade can only
flourish in great cities, where there is a
large and wealthy class from which to
draw patrons. The art binder uses very
rev tools, and the entire outfit consists of
half dozen instruments, shaped like bod

Such craftsmen make speciality of bind
ing fine books in such a way as to add to
their beauty and value. The volumes they
operate upon are generally new, because
ola and rare books are of course, preserved
in their original covers, and great pains are
taken to make the binding harmonic with
the contents. Not long ago / saw a copy

regularly over the surface. The effect was
exquisite. She got S65 for binding that
book, and worked at it, off and on, for a

New York Evening Post.
If you have fears (Which, by the way, are
entirely groundless) that a bolero or Elton
will go out of fashion before the season is
over, why not have one of the new Russian
blouses to complete your travelling cos
tune? To reassure you regarding short
jackets: One of the most celebrated furriers
is having both bolero and Elton models
made up of every sort of expensive pelt-
sable, seal, otter and even ermine-and of
combinations of fur and cloth, velvet with
fur accessories, satin and panne, etc. Re-
serve skirt trains for house and evening
gowns, and by all means have the skirts
which are to be worn out of doors made
without even the troublesome dip at the
back. There are wholly new autumn skirt
designs that clear the ground that are,
nevertheless, very graceful in effect. Pink
and pale tea-rose yellow are very fashion
able colors for bridesmaids dresses, and
the beautiful creped satins are highly IA
vored materials. These are more expensive
than most of the grades of either plain
satin, peau de sole or crepe de Chine. Real
lace berthas, jeweled pins and boxes of
natural flowers, matching the various tints
of their gowns, would make very elegant
gifts to your bridesmaid and maid of
honor. For your mother a gown of pink
ish shade of mauve or one of silver bro
cade, with lace garnitures, would prove ex-
tremely becoming. These are, OF course
quite the conventional colors, but there are
no others that just take their place. Black
velvet is very elegant, so also are gowns of
white lace or satin, but objections have al
ways been made to black at wedding; and
at recent midsummer marriage the slen-
der, handsome mother of the bride was
quite severely criticised for attempting to
actually rival her palmer daughter by
appearing at her wedding in a white satin
gown, made with a corselet girdle and a
lace bolero." One other always becoming,
appropriate and elegant gown for the
mother of either the bride groom is one
in black and white melanges, in lace and
net, satin brocade, matelasse silk, etc. A
city modiste is just completing dress that
is formed of a deep. rich shade of jacque
rose red and cream-colored satin brocade,
lined with white taffeta and trimmed most
deliberately with Venise guipure lace en-
applique.
