The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1903-10-28

Milly Lynde was at Donald Ditto s
at the noon hour waiting as usual for
Donald to finish dressing to go to the
matinee. Thouoh their disposl tions
Were entirely different the times they
spent together were most enjoyable
to each of them.
Milly Lynde said she could not re-
MEMBER time that Donald was IN
perfect readiness to go to place when
she came by for her, but this was not
true, and Donald was always COMPEL
ed to wa it many minutes after the
time they had planned to start for
Milly to fix her belt, or to pull her
shirt waist down.
But Milly did not think of this, for
she was overwhelmed with Impotence
and could not resist asking Donald
complainingly why she took so much
pains in fixing the finishing touches
on her dress Donald heaved little
sigh and pretended sne had not heard
Milly for she was tired of this ques-
tion Milly had asked her so often
SO Donald did not reply at once.
She was thinking what hard effort
she was always making to look we'll
not pretty for that was an impossiblity
tor Donald-just for the sake of the
family.
''DId you hear what set Elodis
Mcclure Off" she said at last, land
have you seen the account of her we'd
ding1'
No, l haven {, " replied Milly, with
a grateful smile forgetting that her
question had not been answered. "Do
tell me all about it, | have not heard
word about Elodia for ages. She is
such a pretty aud charmingly sweet
girl. she continued
"Milly, when we three together
were at college, do you remember what
peculiar ideas Elodia had about styles,
and that she would wear at all times
one certain color the whole season."
"And oh, her ambition and determi
nation is the secret of her success"
Donald said happily.
Eyes, l remember that; she was so
original too, and l will never forget
her handwriting 1t is just marvel
ous." Do tell me about her marIi-
age" Milly repeated, pleadingly.
1T is a real romance, " Donald said
with tone corresponding to the look In
her violet eyes. Il could never tell
you because there is just oceans to it,
Accounts of the wedding have been in
all the eastern journals. | have one of
the articles which was clipped from
a Boston newspaper that you may
read "
She went absently to a large roll-top
desk, which Milly would have thought
belonged to the men in the household
had there not been upon it odds and
nds that stamped 1t woman's pOss-
ession. 1t was not long before Donald
odnd a long white envelope that con-
tanned the newspaper clipping be-
cause she was a girl who put every
thing in It's right place-though not
so right that hunt for such things
would fail to be interesting
When Milly took the clipping she
gasped in relieved way, and fell
over on the large myrtle leather daven
port by the desk, and began to read
the article which read:
A very entertaining and romantic |
story is told of how the success of a
small ladies tailoring establishment |
was achieved in Paris, says the New |
York Blade.
The downtown firm of LATEST q |
Lafayette Go. was at the point of |
going under, and it was until just be-
fore the opening of the winter season
that the manager, Deschamp DeBond,
who had for eight years pulled the
Company through fairly we'll against
the uptown competition, felt like
giving up his job.
1t was Saturday afternoon, nothing
was doing at the house. many en-
ployes were off duty when several
members of the firm assembled in the
managers Office to discuss the situa-
tiOn of the Company. DeBond sale
more about his encouragement than he
intended, and seemed to be always
on the point of saying things he would
rather have left unsaid. The Office was
hot and stuffy every one seemed to be
nervously tired, so another time was
set to meet again at an early date
Luckett, the advertising manager of
the firm remand in the ONCE with De-
Bond. He had been with the Compa-
ny only short while but he and De-
Bond had become well acquainted,
and were always helping one other
over hard places. Luckett was an
acute observer he learned at once
that DeBond needed and wanted new
ideas to boom the trade in the APP
