Only a glance, - word, an offered book

And they were both growing quite
and thoughtful, and cared not for the
innocent revels of the other boarders.
But on Sunday evenings with the
gathering around the piano, their eyes
were fixed or the same hymn book as
they poured forth their souls in tune
full songs-and they stood very close
together.
Marston won the admiration of even
Aunt Edwina by his devotion to sacred

think of one more devout rendering.
AS his selections were of many StanZaS

of the Others and he did not say them

New York, April 25.-A flannel that
will not shrink and a mohair with a
thread of pure wool in it are inven-
tons that promise to make for the
happiness of the women who relish
their salt sea baths. Two months ago
the novelties in bathing suits were
sold to the happy few who seek the
Florida beaches and the West India
islands in the depths of our winter.
and the non-shrinkable flannel and the
wool warp mohair were pronounced
worthy of long period of watery use

not thicken or shrink after prolonged
wear, the mohair is given more body
by virtue of heavier thread, and the
shoppers for bathing suits ask with
rare exceptions for white and silver

heart to thrill and she turned her head.
1t was too much for the man behind

He had intended to whisper, but the

coming rapidly, disconnected still

audibly with quick forgetfulness of
the old lady's lack of hearing.
Rosetta kept her bright eyes on her
plate, and wondered if anyone noticed
the tell-tale color burning in her
cheeks. Marston did not dare look
across. The rest chartered and laugh
ed, all unknowing the wild beating of
the two young pulses so near them. At
last the dinner ordeal was over-they
could escape. AS the girls passed out
she slipped a card in his hand and
smiled into his repressed~ face.
Marston waited until all had gone.

words. 1t read, Look under the

knew he would be there later, and it
was like her to select just such a

Homans had sung, splashed and de-
parted, and Roscoe crept in. Upon
his knees he peered into the shadow,
then reached and drew out a rosebud
and a white card. Holding it to the
light he read it eagerly. All it said
was this, 80 do l !"
Yet the man kissed both flower and
paper again and again, for he under
stood.
Perhaps, it was fortunate at this
juncture that Aunt Edwina tipped over
her lalnp-as her hand was only
slightly burned. When she recovered
from her fright it was her positive
declaration that the timely appearance
of Mr.. Marston saved her from utter
cremation, and the whole house from
disaster. In this she was ably sec
onded by her niece, who got her to
bed with all possible speed, and con-
veyed her thanks to the deliverer in
the parlor, where for once they were
not disturbed. And it took long
time.

He bent quickly and picked up a

Boating TOgGery.
In the true seaside, yachting and

spring is between wool and linen. Cot

weighed in the balance and found

are now seen of wool suits trimmed
with linen and linen skirts and waists
weighted with wool bands collars,

cHILDREN's QUESTIONS.

Little folks are wont to ask the most terribly embarrassing questions at times, and the more intelligent the children are the more they will want to know, for the active little brain of clever child is always asking the why and wherefore of everything. Tn dealing with children's questions be careful to discriminate between those which are asked from the de- , sire to know and those which are the outcome merely of a childish love of , talking. The latter are often best dealt with by saying quite gently, Eff you think a little. dear, you will be able to answer that for yourself To questions of the former class reply if possible as carefully as you would to an adult questioner. If the matter be beyond the child's comprehension or ! unsuitable for explanation to one of tender years, don't make any foolish or evasive answer. Say simply: T cannot explain that to you now for you are not old enough to understand 1 it. By and by, when you are older, 1 if you will come and ask me again, then I will do my best to tell you
 what you want to know" If parents
 would speak thus to their children in
 stead of snubbing or laughing at their

 which is best learned from a fathers I or mothers lips.

BEES KILLED A CHICKEN.

Insects Object to Black, and to Black
 Game Cocks in Particular.
 Bees are opposed to black as a color. Whether this is because they dislike symbol of mourning, think black typi- fies cloud or consider it the emblem of death is not known, but the fact re- mains that bees do not hesitate to dis play their hatred for things black upon the slightest provocation. I. l.. Rich- ards. proprietor of the Achme apiaries, at Littleton, can testify to this with re- gret.
 Richards is chicken fancier as we'll as bee expert. He has some of the finest chickens in Colorado, and not long ago made up his mind to have more He bought some imported chickens from Hong Kong, and paid a fancy price for them. One great be- rumed cock cost him $85, and was as black as a piece of coal, save for one red mark on its back. Richards proud ly took the big foreigner from it's box and showed it to his friends with ex- ultation. Then he set it free in the chicken yard. The beehives occupy a corner of this yard, and have never caused any trouble. But with the ad- vent of the black rooster the living emblems of industry rebelled Rich ards went back to see his new pet half an hour later, and was amazed to see the yard in terrible confmotion. The great chicken which had stalked so proudly about his new home a few moments before to the wonder of the old chickens. was now in pitiful dis tress. It rushed frantically about the I inclosure, squawking strangely and Tapping it's wings in desperation. Around it swarmed 1000 bees. Vicious 1y they darted at the unfortunate fowl. They. struck it half hundred at a I time
 Richards was about to rush to the rescue of his favorite, when he real ized the folly of such an undertaking. He stood helplessly by while the angry I little honey makers stung the black I China cock to death. The bewildered stranger from across the seas dasiied vainly about for few minutes to the l alarm of the other chickens. It struck out with it's wines and feet. Turn as it would it could not escape the in furiated bees. At last it fell. and the I relentless winged torturers settled upon it until it's body was nearly GOV cred Richards waited until the bees went hack to their hives. Then he 1 carefully wrapped the dead cock in a sack and carried it away for burial Since then he has never tried black chickens in his yard.-Denver Times.
