she left the little homo town, she had
thought the waist extremely lovely and
fit for very nice occasions. Since COM
ing TO Thompson's she had worn 1t ev-
cry Sunday and realized It's inefficiency.
Bitter thoughts assailed her now.
Dress is the thing that counts after
ALL" she reflected. Men may talk for
ever about beauty unadorned.' but the
sentiment Is hopelessly out Of date.
Men try to persuade themselves they
prefer naturalness and simplicity in
women, but there isn't one who is proof
against the charm Of handsome fabrics
and stylish curves"
Perhaps this definite conclusion came
just at that moment because Ellen
caught sight of Harvey Randalis head
bent toward Miss Franklin. at the next
table. The latter was stunning today
In white and black. Her dark hair was
dressed high with a velvet bow. Ran
dali seemed very intent. Yes, he was
susceptible!
Even he! Ellen bit her lip and lost
all interest in fricasseed chicken. Some
how she had thought him superior to
superficialities. She remembered with
a certain scorn the long talks she and
IN a enjoyed-talks on the serious
things OF life. Her lip curled. Hes
just like other men, she told herself.
Up in the parlor half an hour later,
she joined the others, as was her want.
But she avoided meeting RandalIs
eyes.
They were all talking of the coming
dance. 1t was to be a gala occasion.

time. Ellen seemed to see as never be-
fore how like iron must be the will that
successfully resists distraction from It's
one great purpose.
But at last she put the money back.
II can do without the Dress" she said.
During the days that followed she
listened with unrufied serenity to he
plans Of the others for new frills and
furbelows. She had made her decision.
On the night of the dance she dressed
calmly In the oft-worn blue waist and
black skirt.
Someone knocked on the door as she
was adding the finishing touches. The
boy handed her a florists box. Flush
ing with expectation she opened It.
Such exquisite white roses! And the
card-Randall's!
She vas the most radiant OF oil that
night. Randall claimed many dances.
ON the way home he said: You were
the loveliest girl In the room. No n
compared with you. And / was so glad
you wore that blue waist"
"Glad?" gasped Ellen.
Yes, very glad. You see, I've ac-
quired a sort of affection for 1t. l like
it better than most offairs OF that sort.
You had It on when l first saw you.
and I-have liked 1t ever since"
AS for tho other things that Randall
said, Ellen can tell you best about
them. AS Mrs. Harvey Randall she
now has a sufiiciency of pretty clothes.
But the blue waist she still cherishes
as one of her most precious treasures.

Sunday dinner at Mrs. Thompson's
was always more or less of an event.
Perhaps it was because the boarders
appeared in their best apparel on that
occasion.
Feminine finery was especially in evil
dence. Dainty fancy waists and becom-
ing hair bows gave an air of festivity
which mere week day dining never
called forth.
Thompson boarding house always
dressed prettily and lastly ever for
every day."
The majority OF the girls worked for
a small living. Some We're stenograph-
ers. Others stood patiently behind
counters and dealt daily with all sorts
and conditions of customers. Yet, de-
spite the fact of small hard earned sal
aries, all of them seemed TO have
caught the fever for stylish dressing
that most prevalent n contagious dis
ease of America.
On n particular Sunday there was
an unusual display of smartness and
prettiness.
From the quiet corner table Ellen
Hyatt saw il all, and the dissatisfac-
ton which for weeks she had been sue
cessfully combating swept upon her all
at once.
Ellen had natural charms, which few
of the girls could boast. Yet she was
painfully conscious that among them
she made no show.
Her little blue silk waist-the only
best one" she possessed-paled into
disheartening insignificance beside
those others. Two months ago, when

overheard Miss Franklin and Hiss

sion. Fancy waists are no longer ac-
ceptable for very dressy occasions" re-
marked the latter. Il shall have a new

Ellen gasped inwardly. How was she
to meet this emergency? A desperate
resolve came to her.
Upstairs In her room she sat holding
q roll of bills. It was the money she
had been saving for a purpose. Oh,
how determined she had been to carry
out that purposeI How the thought
of 1t had thrilled and energized her
every effort.
But that was in the days when 1t had
seemed to her that the most joyous
privilege In life was the ability to earn
money and help ones family.
Now-what was it hat seemed most
worth while? The face of Randall
came before her and she knew that she
blushed.
II must have something pretty--some-
thing exceedingly becoming--to wear at
the dance" her heart declared.
In vain did an inner voice protest that
the love of a man who cared for ex-
ternals was not worth having, and that
she should not are to win 1t. She
realized that she did care; very. very
much.

A curious curtailment of the royal pre-
rogative is effected by ali act of parliament
passed In the reign of George Ill. which
deals with Sabbath breaking. In this act
IL is distinctly stated that the monarch
shall not have the power TO pardon any
persons convicted of a certain form OF
Sabbath breaking. Yet his majesty can. OF
course, pardon ninety~nine out OF every
hundred persons In the land.

p~otentate. Anai chists, however, took adj
vantage Of the privilege. and on one
memorable occasion a trcacherous ennis
sary drove a dagger into the heart of his
sovereign, and from that time forth the
privilege has been d~isallowcd.

Pioneer Town OF California Where

The pioneer towns IN the Imperial

erSl unique features besides that OF
being considerably below the level Of
the sea. One OF these IS the depth
OF the soil. all alluvial. which Is said
TO be not less than 700 feet. and an.
other is the fact that there Is not a
saloon nor a gambling place In the
whole valley with its present populA-
ton OF 10000 souls. This happy con.
diuon Is owing primarily 20 the fact
that when the valley was opened for
settlement about six years aSo the
original owners OF the land ran a
clause in all their deeds forbiddinx
the manufacture and sale OF LIQUOR
on any and all property sold. Thus
prohibitory law OF the most iron

country. The natural result has been
that tho valley has been remarkably
free from the evil elements that too
