The eyes were reminiscent.

There were tears in the eyes now.

Slowly the lid dropped. y tiny smile
crept round her mouth.
"If you love me very much, close

Both blue eyes were now shrOuded

The stage hand shook his head, then

down the dark stairway leading under

Book Borrowing.

One need have no delicacy in asking
a person to return borrowed book.
Books are property, and when bor-
rowed they should be carefully pro-
tected from injury and promptly re-
turned to their owners. | doubt the
propriety of borrowing book if one
is near lending library. We do not
borrow shoes or gloves or furniture,
and why should we make an exception
of books? | think the owner of set

The winter gowns are very dainty.
Tucks, featherstitchings laces and
even fine embroideries figure largely
upon them. The rumor that we were
to return to simpler styles has not
been realized. Even in street and
mourning costumes this tendency to
elaborateness makes itself felt. Young
widows this season wear charming
dresses quite as fanciful as if they were
not mourning at all. The Illustration
shows one Of the latest designs Of this
sort. The gown Is made of soft eudora,
with a tucked pouched bodice and a
clinging skirt having long train. The
waist has front of Grape embellished
in a crisscross effect of tiny bias folds
of the same Grape. The panel which
forms the vest extends down the front
of the skirt, and narrower band of
it heads the full bias ruffie Of tucked
eudora which gives such a pretty fare
around the feet. A narrow rundown
collar and cuffs of he1nstitched null
are permitted to relieve the severity Of
these thoroughly chic Widows weeds.
To leave a rather somber subject,
the most graceful little fur jackets are
now being shown in the shops. Many
of them barely reach to the waist line,
and the others have tiny close fitting
coattails or else position backs. the
upper half Of the coat being pouched
into jeweled belt. Ermine and sable

How to Remove Articles Swallowed
by Children.
The American Medical and Surgical
Bulletin in an article on this subject
says that pins, safety pins pebbles,
jackstones. ETC., swallowed by children
need occasion no alarm, as they will
all pass through without harming the
child. The greatest danger is from
castor oil, with which the child is usu-
ally dosed in such cases. 1t is better
to leave the bowels at rest and give
cruel, crackers. baked potatoes. milk
anything that will constlpate the child
and make a pultaceous mass in which
the foreign bodies will be imbedded
and carried through. When foreign
bodies stick In the throat and the child
is unable to swallow, it should receive
an emetic, or the coin catcher should
be introduced. This is basketlike af-
fair, easily used.
