The summer wore away and as
natural sequence it's close brought the
engagement of Persis and the wild

"Persis," said Frederick one night,
"do you think you could have conf
dence in one who has deceived you?"
do you mean to say that you have
deceived me?" said Persis, sitting up
very straight.

with such tragic air that the heast-

"No-not yet, Persis, but my mother

Of her first marriage. My name is"
Don't say 1t is Smith," interrupted
Persis: anything but that"

''Vhy, Fred Bassetti" cried Persis;
"then you are cousin Joshuas heir and
I always said"
"Never mind what you said. You
didn't know what nice fellow he was,
did your"
"But why didn't you tell me before?"
asked Persis.
"Why, bless your heart, Persis, you
always said you wouldn't marry
Charles Frederick Greyson, and have

"But what about his first cousins

The Ace of Beauty.

The physical beauty of women
should last until they are past fifty.
Nor does beauty reach its zenith I'M
der thirty-five or forty.
Helen of Troy came upon the stage
at the age of forty.
Cleopatra was past thirty when she
met Antony.
Anne Of Austria was thirty eight
when described as the most beautiful
woman in Europe.
The old saying about sweet sixteen
is exploded by the truer knowledge
that the highest beauty does not dwell
in immaturity, for beauty does not
mean alone the fashion of form and
coloring as found in waXen doll. A
woman's best and richest years are
from twenty six to forty. No woman
is passe at an earlier day.-New York

as they went into the cottage.
The next morning as Persis was

in the hopes Of seeing the "widder's

snake glided across her path. The

Uses for Velvet Ribbon.

Narrow black velvet ribbon in rows
of threes or fives, caught at intervals
by paste buckles, are often used as
bretelles on evening blouses. Bebe
ribbons are still used as a trimming
run through lace and ending in the
pretty chrysanthemum rosettes made
of loops of velvet of different lengths.
Blouses made entirely of frills of chif-
fon are only suitable for slim figures.

Frightening the House.

For house plants there is an endless
variety to choose from. Ferns and
vines are effective in hanging baskets,
and so is the oxalis, with it's dainty lit
tie blossoms. Begonias and geraniums
are hardy and easily coaxed into the
blossom, so for window boxes they are
particularly useful. If plants are rails
ed from seed they should be started in
October to flower luxuriantly in De-
cember, the month of all others when
foliage and blossoms appeal to the
eye.

The board of managers of the Wom-

silver tea yesterday afternoon at the
home, 400 North street. A large num-
Der of women were present and gen.
erous donations were received.
The home, a beautiful old house in
itself, has been repapered recently,
and it presented a very attractive ap-
pearance. Situated on KNOLL all by
itself, the building is one of those ram

innumerable hooks and corners, an
ideal place for such an institution. Too
many of these homes for the unfor-
tunate are institutions in every sense

make this their home, for time, feel
it to be home indeed.

Tea was served in the dining room
by Mrs. w. E. Rogers and Mrs M. A.
Schriber. Others assisting were Mrs.
H. L. Parsons, Mrs. Frederick Schott,
Mrs. M. A. Luley, Mrs. L. B. Turner,
and Mrs. R. T. Donaldson.
Established Long Years Ago.
The home is one of the oldest of it's
kind in the city, having been establish
ed twenty eight years ago by the late
Mrs. D. S. B. Johnston and Mrs. Ruth
Stanton in little cottage on Grove
street. Since then the home has
moved three times, occupying it's pres
ent quarters for ten years. Mrs. E.
Van Duzee, who is the treasurer of
the home, has acted in this capacity
for twenty-siX years.
The annual business meeting was to
be held yesterday, but was postponed
until the November meeting, on the
first Friday of that month. The Off
GERS of the home are: President, Mrs.
M. A. Luley; vice president, Mrs. w.

To Remove Ink From Carpets.

In removing ink stains from carpet
If they have become dry, the best plan
is to rub them with milk, taking fresh
as it becomes inky. The spot should
afterward be washed with ammonia
water to remove the grease. Fresh ink
stains on a carpet should be taken up
as far as possible with blotting paper
to prevent their spreading, or salt may
be put on them for the same purpose.
The salt will absorb the ink and it can
then be swept I'D.

Clothes for the Baby.

The finest Of materials are, when it
is possible to have them, the best to
use for baby clothes. A deep hem sew
ed by hand is far better than ruffie
of embroidery, machine made; tuckS
that may be let out are far better than
bands of insertion. But it is a mistake
for any woman who, from motives Of
economy or sentiment, wishes to fash
ion every garment her baby wears, to
attempt very elaborate work. Handi-
work may be overdone,- and 1t is bet
ter to have more simple frocks that
can be easily Numbered than a few
of very expensive material that can
not be Numbered as often as one
wishes. One or two very fine little
frocks with trimming of real lace-not
much of it-a ruf1le edged with lace
and two or three rows of insertion
perhaps-are dainty and charming.
