pocket was lighter, so was his heart
as he left the florists shop and went
to his law office.
There were two of them; and one
OF her. Each hoped he was the right
one, yet was not quite sure. Indeed,
she was scarcely sure herself. One

Did I sign that note?" Hollister
asked of his Code as he went over it
an hour later-"seems to me I wrote
my name in full, Arthur Sullivan Hol-
lister. 1 think 1 recall how the H
looked. Yes, I'm sure 1 signed it all
right" And he tried to go back to
his brief with a quiet soul.
To be sure he had signed the note
in a way. "a. S. H. might mean
Arthur Sullivan Hollister; and it
doubtless would if Croesus hadn't been
in the case. "Croesus.' she called him
that to keep well in mind what he
represented. But on Change where
he dwelt with others of his kind, he
passed as Anthony Semmes Hudson
and when that name was signed to a
check, it went!
She adored roses-most of all Mare
chal Neils; and as she inhaled their
fragrance in luxurious whiffs she read
the note.
These will tell you what you are
to me. Wear them at Mrs. De Lands
tomorrow night and I will know that
you have read their message Alright.
"A. S. H.
CA S. H" that meant Anthony
Semmes acknowledgements, of course.
Roses were three dollars a doZen-no-
body else-and she took a hasty in
ventory of her admirers-nobody else
would have sent the whole dozen. 1t
was quite plain that it must be Croesus
who was minded to play fiowergod.

THE HOME GOLD CURE.
Drunkards are Being Cured
Daily in Spite of Themselves.
No NoxiOus Doses. No Weakening of
the Nerves. A Pleasant and Posi-
tive Cure for the Liquor Habit.

1t ia now generally known and Under
stood that drunkenness is disease and
not a weakness. A body filled with poi
son and nerves completely shattered by
periodical or constant use of Intoxicating
liquors, requires an antidOte capable of
neutralizing and eradicating this poison,
and destroying the craving for intoxi-
cants. Sufferers may now cure themselves
at home without publicity or loss of time
from business by this wonderful HOME
GOLD CURE" which has been perfected
after many years of close study and treat
ment of inebriates. The faithful use ac-
cOrding to directions OF this wonderful
discovery is positively guaranteed to cure
the most obstinate case, no matter how
hard drinker. Our records show the
marvellous transformation of thousands
of drunkards into sober, industrious and
upright men.

BOAS THE FASHION.
They Are Many In style and Varied
In Material.
Especial Correspondence


New YORK, Sept. 9.-Never in the his
tory Of fashion have boas been so
many and Of so many kinds of ma
terials, and they will give character to
everything in the way of outdoor wear
There are short ones for automobiles,
for it is manifest that long ends would
be seriously in the way flying out as
the machine flew along a mile min
ute. So they are very fluffy and dainty
around the neck, and the ends are
scarcely long enough to catch the
wind. For walking there are so many
different ones that one scarcely knows
where to begin. But ostrich feather
boas are and always will be the best
choice These are thick and rich and
long and are in white, black, gray and
brown, besides a few in tints.
Then come the coque plume boas,
and these are in all colors, though
those in natural black are considered
the finest After them come the emu
feather boas, and they are very odd
quite odd enough to be considered as
very desirable. They are i'll the nat
ural color, which is a dusty brown. 1t
is a becoming color.
After these the made boas are offer
ed. They are made of everything soft
and fine, such as tulle, malines, chiffon,
silk muslin and grapes and also liberty
silks. Nets in black and white are also
seen. Some of the black nets are span
gled with silver or black or gold, and
the edges are finished with a chenille
fringe. The use of chenille on all sorts
of things is beyond belief. White, gray
gold color and black and brown are
the kinds most often employed. A ia
vorite design is to have a ruffie six

Inches Wlue ana nave tnlS gathered as
closely as it can be possibly brought
and the edge finished off with chenille
or with q band of ribbon, velvet or in
some pretty color.
Another way is to have the ruffle
edged with a narrow shirring of tulle
or chiffon. At the front the ends are
fastened, and these ends are of all
shapes and varieties. Some have only
many lOoped bows with long ends of
black velvet ribbon, while others have
long ends of the material made in
tulip point and this edged with gather
ed ruftles of the material Black silk
null made this way has the rufiles all
around the yard and a quarter ends,
and along the edges are two rows Of
pink picOt baby sized ribbon. The part
that goes around the neck is made very
full and is in the same styleof trimming.
The ends of this boa reach almost to
the bottom of the skirt Another dis
tinct style has a full ruffle at the neck
of black liberty edged with a ruching
OF pale blue chiffon on the upper edge,
and the hanging piece is simply a
square Of the liberty pressed into hon
eycOmb pattern all around. This Is
then taken at the exact center and fas-
tened to the neck piece. Around the
outside Of the square is a row Of white
chiffon plated in the same way So
much of this plating in all it's varieties
is seen and will be seen this season
that it would be good plan for every
woman to buy one of the little plating
machines for her own use, for it costs
like anything to have it done.
In the illustration will be seen boa
of black net studded with silver span
giles and edged with a buttonholing of
white chenille. The ruffles are made to
go around and around the foundation,
and so it Is called bell shape. The part
around the neck is only ruffled very
full, but it is a very rich and handsome
style. Any color Of the chenille could
be used, and in that way it could be
made to suit all. The spangled net can
be purchased all ready, and all one has
to do is to buttonhole the edges. To
make boa like this would require six
yards of brussels net. This is double
Width. The chenille around the neck
would be better If wired. The rest
should be flexible.
Stocks and high collars have by no
means been delegated to that place
Where all OLD fashions go, for l never
saw such pretty things in this line as
there are now. Many have the stock
part stiff and beautifully ornamented
with fancy braids and tiny gilt and sill
yer buttons. Some have galloons and
Dralds with tiny cretonne flowers in
them, and the ends go around the neck
ana tie in front. These are mostly with
tulip points. Many are shirred. some
tucked, others plated, some are hem
stitched, and still others are embroider
ed, and again we find them with appli.
cations of lace and galloon. Narrow
PERSIAN braid edge some of them all
around, and more are featherstitched
IN some contrasting color. Many tie in
front, and others tie in the back in n
nuHy bow, as they did several years
ago. There are very many velvet stocks
