 There's chap can't make out,'' he muttered as he walked towards the house.
 Rossiter recalled that half way to Hintonville there was a highway branching towards the west. When he reached this he took it without hesitation. He had no intention of trying to catch the train, but had spoken of doing so as plausible ex- l cuse for his hasty departure. Plans he had none, needed none. He was to drift again, 8 waif, vagrant, a common vagabond. Now nothing mattered. Money he had, more than he had possessed that year, but of what special avail was it? Tn the | life to which he was returning he could manage quite as easily with out it. He trudged on steadily, his mind babel of emotions.

LACE WAISTS THE THING

1t is rather curious to note that in spite
OF the oft asserted statement that sep
arate waists are no longer fashionable
many are worn, and the so-to-speak pri-
vate shops, as well as the large establish
ments. display no end Of new designs in
them. Lace waists, white and black. are
most attractive, and while, as I'm every
thing, the all-white is the most fashion
able, the black over white, or vice versa,
are also extremely smart. There Is no
fixed law as ITO the kind Of lace that should
be used-fine, coarse, very expensive and
very cheap are one and all in fashion
and the one fixed rule is that the pattern
chosen must needs be an effective one.
For the moment the cream laces, once
known as curtain laces, are used for trim
ming. and aie also made up into waists,
and the imitation Cluny is another fancy
of the momen.. Both these laces are used
in bands Of the insertion for Waists and
put over pleaded chiffon, the chiffon soft
ening greatly the rather harsh effect o.
the lace, and Ahe lace in its turn keeping
the pleatings in place and giving a more
tnlm finished appearance than is always to
be seen in the chiffon waists, which have,
unfortunately, a sad tendency to either
sag or the pleats to get out Of place.

White shiffon is a material that wears
remarkably well, but at the same time
soils easily, So that often white lace
waist made up over chiffon looks soiled
when in reality 1t is only the chiffon that
needs cleaning. Then, too white chiffon
does not stay clean any length Of time af-
ter 1T has once been cleaned, consequently
lt must needs be ranked with expensive
fabrics.
For the moment the fashion Of black
pleated chiffon waists, with strips Of white
lace Joined by feather stitching, is popular
and these waists keep clean such long
time, and furthermore can so easily be
renovated by taking off the white lace and
having that cleaned. that the fashion IL
certain to srow more and more popular all
the time.
The white lace waists are almost with
out exception becoming and cool. A lin
ing Of thin China silk is quite sufficient FOX
summer wear, and even that thin lining
can be cut away around the neck, il so de-
sired. giving the effect Of an unlined yoke.
The prettiest waists are the simplest in
design, little fulness in front; sleeves IN
bell shape but of moderate size. and nc
trimming save tassels Of white silk or ro'
settles of ribbon.

Love Enhances Beauty

Spiritual development, material sue
cess and the general upliftment con-
stitute no mean bounty. But loving has
other rewards. One of these is beauty.
Not alone beauty of character and pur-
pose and gentility of nature: but ac-
tual physical beauty, of contour, ex-
preston and grace. Hatred and pes
simism take but a short time to wreck
the most wondrous beauty. They set
mean lines by the mouth; they contract
and harden the eyes, fixing little
wrinkles there to emphasize their
stamp; they square the shape of the
Jaws: detracting from the beauty Of
its oval; and they give to the counte-
nance whereon they sit downward
Tilt that hollOws the cheeks and dispels
every vestige of beauty.
And love? Love is the natural beau
tiher. It begins with the foundations.
It makes young the heart. installing II

youth, to pump giadness and enthusi-
asm through every vein. IL imparts
physical poise as well as mental. AT

so does every act become gentle anC
the bearing that Of genuine culture AZ
every thought is pure and unselfish, 81
does it leave its imprint ON the face
AS optimism becomes a habit, so d.
the corners of the mouth go up, ant
wrinkles keep AWAY. AS faith and glad
ness are ever present, so do the eye
flash wide, and the creases Of contrac
ton are avoided. People who are plai
and uninteresting have grown fascinat

In the Markets

During the last few days there has been
great increase in the number Of toma-
toes to be seen In the market and also
much improvement in their size and quail
ity. Their price has not changed for sew
eral weeks, but it does not seem so much
to pay twenty cents pound for really fine
tomatoes as it does to pay the same price
for very small ones that are inclined to
be rather flavorless.
All winter there have been fine large hot
house tomatoes, but they are always very
expensive, and most people have used the
Southern outdoor variety, Of which there
has been an ample supply. 1t is these
Southern tomatoes that are now improv-
ing sc much.
Late as 1t is for celery, some OF what is
now in market is quite equal in qualify 70

Women and Education

l suppose that fer mere wOman-and
a writing person" ut that, as Shakes
peare says-to criticise the word of
physician is little less than sacrilege In
THE eyes of some people. When, how
ever, a doctor declares that education
actually lessons the physical beauty of
woman, one Is bound to take UP the
pen in behalf OF the sex. AS q matter
of fact, are women really less beauti-
full than they used to be? The general
impression is that they Rre not, and l
confess i am one of those who share
the general impression. Education has
always been supposed to make for the
beauty of man, and the more cultured
a face the greater is its attractiveness,
even If it may be strictly beautiful from
the point of view of the artist, says
Womans Life. So with woman. OF
course, IL people carry their learning
to excess-sit up late at might poring
over books, and so ruin their eyes. get
round shouldered, and that character1s-
tic complexion which is the Inheritance
Of every one who burns the candle at
both ends and lives under improper
conditions-the result must be disas-
trous, but Il is about as ridiculous to
make It answerable fer a woman's un-
prepossessing appearance as 1t would
be to declare that the men who drink
a glass of light claret with their din
ner are training to be confirmed dipso-
maniacs. The abuse Of making the
effect OF one thiRg appear to be the
cause of another is a very common mis-
tal1e with a certain set Of illogical
thinkers

The rirst Measure OF rime.

1t was the moon and not the sun

conceptions OF perfection and eternity,
but beyond the alterations Of day and

no abstract measure of time. But with

The regularly recurring phenomena OF

marked to escape the attention Of the
