Yes, the demeanor of Taddeo Carpi
was becoming strange. There was Oft
en- observation-disclosures; sudden redden-
ing of the face, and sometimes his
beautiful black eyes rested on you with
such enigmatical glances. One would
have said that he wanted to see every
thing, all at once.
If one entered his little Office uneX-
pectedly and without knocking, one
would find him with his head resting
between his hands, lost in a rever1e
from which he reused to show Wild
amazement, like a miser who steals out
from his hiding place. And one day
when Angelina, his little daughter,
whom he adored, came lovingly to
climb UP on his chair while he was
writing out his accounts, Taddeo turn
ed upon her with such i'll humor that

honored in the country as much for his
personal merits as for the name he
bore. The Carpi family was an old one
of nobility. Their honesty was proven
bal in a country where robbers are

At the desire of his mother, woman
of great intelligence and celebrated
beauty, Taddeo had studied at Paris,
but he had returned to st. J. to
marry. He married his kinsWoman,
Catarina Bollini, daughter of a cous-
in from Bastia, who was chosen by
Nine. Carpi to become the mother of
her grandchildren.
From this marriage Angelina and
Tomaso had been born. Tomaso had
just attained his sixteenth year and
Angelina was nine. a.
But for many year their grand
mother had slept beneath the Towering
earth. And now Taddeo was living in
the midst of prosperity with his family,
secure from every want by his Office
as tax gatherer-a happy father and
envied husband, when suddenly he be-
comes morose and uneasy, without ap-
parent cause.
-Catarina was esteemed by her neigh
bors as being a model of domestic vir-
tues. Angelina was developing each
day in charm and health. Tomaso had
not as yet given his parents any cause
of anxiety, except for a certain matur-
ity of character, little precocious for
his years.
He was a Corsican from his head to
his feet, and his little sister was a
perfect picture of Taddeo. In Tomaso
lived again the older Angelina Carpi,

The hat shown in cut of the accom-
panying drawing is charming
model of this type. It is of rough
burnt yellow straw and is trimmed
with large clusters Of red cherries and
lovely leaves shading from green to
brown.
Cut is an all black straw hat with
a medium width brim faced with white
straw, which is trimmed with two long
feathers that fall ever the brim on the
side little towards the back.
Cut is a smart turban of fancy
green braid with cross pieces over the
brim under which a soft green silk
scarf is drawn and knotted in front
with dull gold ornament.
Cut is a good model for a morning
hat to wear with run-about gowns. 1t
is of mixed blue and white straw
trimmed with dark blue military

Many of the newest Paris hats are
made of vivid greens, and while such
hats are striking worn with black suits
one soon tires of them. These. brilliant
shades of green are, however, very
effective as trimmings on white and
black hats.
For instance, a remarkably smart
little toque seen lately is of black lace
and chiffon and is ornamented only by
spray of large green and gold ch1f-
fon roses fastened on the left side.

The next day at dawn the father and
son returned, Tomaso behind Taddeo.
Where and how they had met, and
what had passed between them, was
never told.
"Sit down there" said Tomaso, "and
wait for me-"
And Taddeo sat down near the COR

eyes. Angelina was running toward

present incumbent, Mrs. Dennison, of
New York, is not averse to a second
term. This makes somewhat Of
complication, but it will undoubtedly
be smoothed out as club women as a
rule are not off1ceseekers. Indeed, it
has become so in ST. Paul that it is al
most impossible to find a woman will
ing to take an office. 1t Is quite likely
that the subject of child labor in the
South will come up for discussion, but
further than this and the ordinary
routine, it is not yet known what the
main issue will be.
From st. Paul will go Mrs. r. r.
Dorr and several others, possibly, who
have not yet decided, from Minneap-

probably attend, notably Mrs. L. p.
Williams, who is one Of the women in

The club women are beginning to

general federation held every second
year to discuss current events and
the great issues which women con-

spring the delegates will be able to

the meeting is in May and the expo

only trouble with going at that time
is that St Louis is said to be- the
warmest place in the universe from
then on until autumn and as this has
been such a cold winter everywhere,
it is quite likely to be followed by the
warmest summer ever known.
The convention opens May II and
closes on the 25th. The local commit

sent out preliminary literature telling
of the elaborate preparations now in

The combination of business and flial

usually unsympathetic course of COM

brokers died not long ago. The daily
bulletins of the firm sent out to their
customers since that sad event have
been surrounded with deep mourning
band. Such exhibitions of feeling are
rare in business in the street. This in
stance Of family grief in the midst of
business may not be so tasteful as the
aesthetic exodus of a young society
matron from mourning, but it is quite
as novel. This youthful beauty has
surprised her friends by the varied
shades of purple that surround her
stationery. They began, as her period
of mourning came to an end, in deepest
1lues of violet. AS the duration of her
period of grief grew shorter, the color
gradually became lighter, and her early
return to all the pleasures of the world
is now foreshadowed by bands of palest
mauve about her writing paper.
