IN THE SHOPS.

Here are more valentines. The most at
tractive of these, according to a woman S
idea, is one that has hanging at one side
real, bona f1de little frying pan, or
spider, as some people call them. The
pan part is not an inch in diameter, and
it is as black as if just removed from the
kitchen stove. Unfortunately, the verse
is not up to the standard of the realistic
ornament. 1t has something to say about
jumping from the frying pan into the
fire." which would not be the case with
this ''dear valentine" Love in cottage
would be more appropriate, but each val
entine must bring in the name of it's
trophy.
A bit of green pine is the prettiest thing
in these valentines. 1t is fastened to the
card, and there is a line beginning with
IT, and then comes the bit of green to
supply the next word, and following ''for
thee,' or 81 pine for thee" Another card
has an acorn in the upper left hand
corner for the initial part of the sentence,
"Acorn-er of my heart for thee
Another pretty valentine shows cage
of flowers in which is imprisoned a little
Love. This is realistic, a cage being
really formed of the card flowers.
Very god portraits of well known actors,
actresses, and singers are to be found
upon the private mailing cards. There is
not room for writing upon the cards, but
then who ever heard of any one wishing
to write upon private mailing card?
Up-to-date carriage bags have enough
materials to supply Robinson Crusoe
with a library There is a big address
book, an engagement book, pair of scis-
sors, paper cutter, and a clock always.
The bags are usually mounted in silver,
they cost a great deal of money, there is
always a chance of their being stolen, no
one was ever known to use one, and the
clock is never wound. Notwithstanding
all these weaknesses, they are most at
tractive pieces of carriage furniture, and
women cannot help taking a certain
pleasure in them.
Among the prettiest of little travelling
clocks are those in leather, mounted in
silver One of these, by the way-it is
an opportune thought-might be used for
valentine. 1t is not large; it is covered

When L came to Boston as a student
two years ago, l little expected to be
living on Beacon street at the end Of
my course. My sojourn In New Eng
land began very modestly My room
had been arranged for before 1 left
home, and / had consented to share 1t
with some unknown young woman, in
order to lessen expenses. For weeks that
individual occupied my mind to the al
most entire exclusion of everything else
I conceived of her as an example Of
every type common to the human race,
and then as a composite parsonage typ
zeal of nothing: Of course, she would
be a Northerner, and 1 felt in my South
ern soul that my provincialism would
get the discipline they needed.
Miss Latham, this is your new room
mate Miss Courtenay, of Baltimore"
l am afraid l was a little nervous as
[ shook Miss Latham's hand, but there
was not the slightest trace of self
consciousness on her part. We were
soon talking easily and naturally, and
fifteen minutes of pleasant commonplace
dissipated my nervousness. Then she
said:
II shall have to ask you to excuse me
paper work, and must finish an article
this afternoon
She went to her desk and began to
write. She did not look formidable and
was SO utterly oblivious of my presence
that I know she could not be critcising
me. Indeed, in less than fortnight,
1 found that, as far as Miss Latham
was concerned, I might as we'll have
been without provincialisms.
Miss Latham and I talked much of our
work. She almost never mentioned her
personal affairs, and though I felt real
ly did not know her, I began to admire
her thoroughly. Her self-possession, and
even her reserve attracted me.
L soon noticed that she was working
too>hard. AS her physical strength les
sened, I saw there was underneath her
quiet calmness something pathetic.
On Christmas eve I came home in a
particularly bright mood. I ran light
ly up the steps-fee1ing sufficiently buoy
ant to do away with the elevator-and
opened our door, waving two letters tri-
umphantly.
1.-TWO lovely Christmas letters. Miss
Latham! The dearest sort of a letter
from home; and just the jolliest, chum-
niest one from Brother Dom
Miss Latham sat in the arm chair by
the window, also with an open letter
her mother's-in her hand. She was very
still, and I walked over to where SIZE
sat. AS I reached her, I saw tear fall
on the letter. 1t was too much for my
impulsive Southern temperament For
getting the reserve I knew so well, I
said unhesitatingly:
''What is it, Jean?,
But I didn't wait for an answer. I
settled down on the arm of the chair,
and drew her head close to my shoulder.
We sat there in perfect silence for
awhile Presently she began to talk,
and I soon understood the pathos under
Jeans dignity.
'It happened twelve years ago, Helen,
when T was only eden. Dick was ten
years older than I. We lived on farm

a Southern girl can. In an Incredibly

and we were whirled back to the station.

my best to satisfy him.

look for Dick. If I could only find him,
Helen, and give him back to mother,

someone in our village saw Dick in Bos-
ton, and somehow I can't help thinking
he'll come back here sometime
She stopped talking and I felt that /
wanted to spend the rest of my natural
life looking for Dick Latham. I quietly
hid Don's letter from jeans sight.
"He wouldn't know me, Helen; I was
only eleven, you know. But I'm sure
I should recognize Dick. He was full
grown then, and wouldn't have changed
much"
Our Christmas was a very quiet one.
Jean was not at all well. In the even
ing she became feverish, and by morn
ing was very i'll. Her fever increased
so rapidly that she soon failed to recog-
nize me. Expert care was absolutely
necessary, and we had to remove her to
hospital.
Of course, 1 haunted the place. All
that Christmas week, I came and went
every day, but Jean. never once knew
1 was with her. One morning, I found
the doctor beside her. He had the
kindest, truest blue eyes I ever saw, and
I knew I could trust him. On New
Years eve [ waited in the corridor over
an hour watching for him. He came at
last, and when he saw me, his face light
ed up with a sympathetic smile.
''Your friend will know you tomorrow,

A good way to treat an antique rug

three times. After it is dry have it thor

There seems to be a chance for the q

Lady Warwick, the other night at a big
reception, | am told, created quite a SEN
sation by wearing a curl falling down to
her shoulders.
1t suited her admirably, and it is quite
likely tnat other pretty women will fol-
low her lead.
The present queen for some years wore
this style of headdress, with the differ
ence that she had two curls.
1t is not fashion that suits every
woman. One has to be pretty to carry
it off successfully.
There have been reports in the papers
that the king had ordered a frock coat
with velvet collar and cuffs and that
several smart men in London were fol-
lowing his example.
From diligent inquiry I cannot find
there is any truth in this story. and
