Embroidered lawns are quite the
rage. The most exclusive of society
leaders are wearing them. They are
especially dainty made into negligee
gowns. One designed for the beauti

formerly Miss Helen Hay, daughter of
the secretary of state, has the EN-
broidery in solid stripes about the
width of the narrow plaits in which
the material is laid. In the back
those plaits are turned out from the
center and set under two of them.

The report that a recently deceased

the result Of this testamentary dispo-

How Williams Came
To Go Back East

Williams Of Rhode Island was down
on his luck. He had been five years in
the gold State, and had confidently
looked forward to each succeeding
years enabling him to 60 back home
and make things comfortable for the
woman and little ones. But each sue
ceeding year had found him precisely
where the previous one had left him
sanguine prospector, with wealth of
hope and a pitifully small outfit.
But this last find had been different.
He had taken out sixty dollars a day
for a week, and with this substantial
evidence Of coming prosperity had
written a letter which filed the far
away home with sudden Joy. Then the
vein had disappeared, and he had
picked and shoveled and hauled away
dirt until his money was exhausted.
But the gold was there, he was sure Of
it; and his confidence had induced the
trader at Three Forks to advance him
funds. However, there had been a
shaft to sink, solid rock to cut
through; and 1t had all been expensive
When 1t was accomplished the money
was gone-and there was no vein.
He was still confident; but the trader
was angry, and had accused him Of
false pretenses. Only this morning he
had received intimation that the Sheriff
was about to levy on his mine-on his
Molly, named after the dear one it was
to do SO much for.
He was aroused by approaching foot
steps. When he looked up two men
stood before him. One of them was the
owner of the adjoining claim; the other
was the Sheriff.
Il have come TO-" began the off,
| Ger.
Yes yes, know" Williams Of
Rhode Island rose heavily to his feet.
Its all right Just go ahead. can do
nothing"
The sheriff looked at him curiously.
"Oh, faint quite SO bad as that" he
laughed. Il did low ON maxim levy;
but Kansas here has been tellin' me
something that has changed my plans.
You needn't bother about the bill jest
now."
Il s'pose you heerd bout my luck"
Kansas asked, blandly.
1--we got pretty vein,". Kansas went
on frankly; but hit dips to'ard you
uns' land. If thar's a pocket low
hits acrost your line. don't s'pose
ye'd be willin' to sell out, clean; but If
yen 60 pards I'll give We ten thousand
for half share" He waited a moment,
but as there was no reply, added: I'll
make it twenty for clean job; but Of
course We won't quit?"
Williams of Rhode Island looked
down into the valley, and up the noun
tain; and then across to the east, where
the sun was just rising above the pines.
''Yes, I'll quit" he said, huskily; ''you
can buy me out clean, I'm going home. "
