''The fact isl said Constance, "that

1T would make a difference" Harvey
answered. 'f I had my way. 1t would
make all the difference in the world. 1t
would have made us man and wife, my
darling; but I'm as far off from happi-

Constance read the trouble in his voice.

but her father understood the matter diff
ferently.
You're not going back on rour under

Father cried Constance Indignantly.
NO." said Harvey. 81 am not going
back on my undertaking. You kept us

Constance, laughing and blushing.
"Yes, dearest" Harvey answered, with

Linen Washed Too Much.

Half the housemaids and washer
women who pose as being beautiful
washers and ironers, num-" don't
know anything about taking care of
fine or any other kind of linens. Table
cloths and napkins should never have
touch OF starch in them, yet servant
after servant will add little to get an
imitation ''shine" in place Of the burn
ish that nothing but careful ironing
can bring out Damask should be
sprinkled until it is just a little damp
all over, and then ironed until it is
perfectly dry, going over and over it
with the iron until not suspicion Of
moisture is left in it.

more and more carefully. Soften the
skin with cloths wrung out of hot
water, then apply thoroughly a good
cold cream, after which a thorough
rubbing with camel's hair brush Will
leave few impurities in the pores. Rose
water, eight ounces; one-half ounce of
borax, and two ounces of strained lem
on juice make a lotion excellent for
removing tan.
Thin and Informed eyebrows can
be improved by rubbing pure grease
or vaselire on them at night, bathing
them carefully in cold water in the
morning, and then putting on a little
petroleum. Never brush or rub the
brows the wrong way. Brush them
daily with small eyebrow brush, and
you will find an improvement.

For the Circulation.

Imperfect circulation is often the
cause of colorless cheeks. Be careful
to eat nourishing food, drink six or
seven glasses of water during the day,
live in the open air as much as pos
sible, breathe deeply and practice light
gymnastics. Do not use cosmetics on
the face, but battle it frequently. Scrub
it good with hot water and soap at
night. and battle it with cold water
several times during the day. This
will tone up the skin and improve the
circulation.

that point. and I thought it advisable to

Come, Monboddo, I want to be sure
of this. Who first spoke of documents? %
"Ah, now" said Monboddo, sit is pos

CHAPTER XIV.

Harvey and his transformed uncle sat
alone that night, and the elder Jethroe
INDUCED in a good deal of rough mirth
over the trap he had laid for his enc
mics.
"You must play 'em," he said, rub
bling his hands gleefully together. "You
must make 'em think they've got the

life. And what lark it is to think that

He burst into boisterous laughter, and
returned to the theme again and again.
Harvey felt the mirth crate upon him.
He was of another world and another
material, and he saw no Jest in the bust
ness. Il was all ugly and repellent to
him, and he was glad to escape his I'M
cle's constant repetition of instructions,
which had already been pressed upon
him to WEAKNESS.
He escaped under pretense of great
fatigue, but when once he had got clear
of that oppressive gown and slippers to
think He reviewed the whole singular
story, and went over it from the begin
ning-the time when he had gone out to
meet Constance by the side of the COM
mon, and, while waiting for her, had
man. All the events which had so rap
idly followed seemed to have pressed
Constance quite apart from him.
But, after all, it was not his fault that
he had been caught up into so strangely
romantic O series of events, and he tried
TO find excuses for himself. And while
he was thus musing he sat looking at
the door knob Of an unused door, and he
was absolutely certain that he saw II

the door at which he was looking was
locked and bolted on his side, 30 that it
did not seem as though very hopeful
enterprise had been undertaken by whom
soever was seeking an entrance to his
chamber that way.
Harvey rose on stealthy tiptoe and
walked softly toward the door, keeping
his eye upon the knob, which was being
very quietly and slowly twisted this way
amount Of pressure was being used upon
the door itself, whenever the catch was
withdrawn; and he knelt down closer to
keyhole and noiselessiy withdrew the
y. No light came through; but on his
own side of the door there was a china
keyhole guard, and it was ten to one
that the same thing existed on the other
side also. But while he was peeping into
the darkness of the keyhole he saw a
slant light suddenly appear within it,
and Withdrawing swiftly he allowed the
guard to fall. He listened with great in
fentness, but his heart throbbed With ex-
element, and he was at such pains to
control his breathing that his pulses

The Fashionable Couture.

The Fashionable Couture.
The newest hair dressing arrange
ments show both high and low Golf
fure, and the choice will depend large
ly on the contour of the face. The
low dressing is especially becoming 20
women having length of neck and per-
lection in profile, but there are other
styles from which to choose for those
less gifted by nature.
The 1880 modes brought into favor
the fashion of dressing the hair low,
which is becoming more and more the
vogue, particularly among the younger
set. While this style is just suited TO
the woman in her first youth, it has
likewise proved becoming to many wo-
men who have passed this period. In
the low style of couture more hair is
required in dressing than when the
Lair is worn high. Unless woman
las a wealth of hair, an artistic effect
cannot be obtained without resorting
to some artificial means to assist ma
ture. In such instances most Of the
natural hair is combed to the front
and used for the pompadour, and the
coil, twist or knot at the nape of the
reck is artificial. With the couture
dressed low, the front hair is some
times parted and rolled softly back at
the sides.
Fair hair has always been regarded
with favor, and the fashionable shade
is auburn with CLINT of copper. Ow-
ing to the prevalence of prematurely
gray hair, silvery locks are no longer
considered as an indication of advance
ing years, and are extremely becoming
to a youthful face. adding a certain
charm and distinction to the wearer.

What the Little Woman Does.

"We little women appreciate the

one of them although we know that
we are hopeless, and that nothing in
the world can make us taller than
an unkind nature intended us to be.
But you would laugh to hear the funny
things recommended to me for the ac-
quiring of a couple Of inches Of height.
l am instructed to keep slender, to
hold up my head, to dress my POM
dressings, to abandon short skirts, to
padour higher, to wear long neck
keep to French heels, to affect trail
ing gowns, to wear high-trimmed hats,
to adopt Grecian draperies, to habitual-
ly wear white, to keep up hopeful
spirit ION the principle that a heart
bowed down by weight Of woe also

various stunts, consisting Of running,
jumping, skipping, stretching and
reaching. All these things 1 do re-
ligiously, and then dress and go out
with the consciousness that 1 am not

I was before, and nobody is deceived
into thinking so, either. My par
ticular chum still talks miles above
