with the gable end to the front, and
having As ita base, on either side, at
the top Of the body Of the clock, a little
spire. the lower section Of the door Of
the clock, below the dial. painted with
some sort Of design.
There were cottage clocks, these
smaller than the Gothics, and like all
these old-timS clocks are simple. and
trim looking. with upright, ,square-c cor
nered cases.
And then there were bigger clocks,
larger than the cottage clocks and larg-
er than the Gothics, clocks with their
long door deeply recessed within a wide
bordering molding, tall. square, cor
nered, prim-looking and yet engaging
clocks, sue as once, made of mahogany
or mahogany veneer, stood on many
and many a mantelpiece, clocks with
big dials and long hands and with a
sonorous tick.
Among these large clocks there were
some with cases less severe In design
and finished, with some ornamentation
about them and gilded half-columns,
one on either side Of the case, in front,
clocks such as once adorned the shelf
Of many an old-time parlor.
These old-style clocks were not old
clocks, but new clocks Such a. are
still manufactured and sold.
"Clocks are now made of many ma.
terials as to their cases and in innum.

we are adding new styles all the time,
and the great majority of people buy
these clocks Of later designs. But we
still continue to sell clocks of a few Of
those once familiar old styles. ~ome
Of these old-style clocks we make with
modern spring improvements within
their old-time cases and others of them
we still make with the old-time clocA
weights.
"Of all these new old-style clocks
comparatively few are sold in the city.
They 60 mostly to smaller towns and
to the country. But 1t would not do to
say that they are bought by old-time
people clinging to old-time ways and
styles. They may find such buyers but
other buyers anywhere may fancy them
for their quaintness or for old time a.
sociations." so

When Success Spells Failure.

When Success Spells Failure.
Business success for the woman does
not mean domestic or individual happi-
ness, and, on the whole, business life
makes for restlessness, selfishness, and
discomfort. You can not measure the
influence of business on the woman by
figures or statistics.
You can not count wrecked lives
among women wage-earners as you can
tally off divorce cases on court calen-
dars, and trace them to certain causes,
such as incompatability, desertion,
cruelty, etc. You can not say that a
woman in business is failure or sue
cess according to the salary she draws.
You can not expect the trim, self
contained girl at your elbow to admit
that her perfectly appointed little
apartment becomes a whited sepulchre
in perfectly ordered life of dinners,
clubs, theaters, and opera parties spells
failure
She says she Is success. In her
heart she knows that when the last
guest has gone, and the trim little maid
has been dismissed. the exquisitely ap-
pointed little apartment becomes a
whited sepulchre in which the starved
soul Of the woman sits alone weeping

isolation they are forced to endure.
Women on lonely farms and In small
villages grow morbid and mildly In
sane, and people do not guess that the
cause is want of companionship. 1t Is
for this reason that woman's work at
home is always more trying that that
Of her husband, who goes to the office,
sees new faces and has the friction
that is produced by meeting other peo-
pie. Even the farmer has more Inter-
course with his neighbor at market or
at the village grocery than his wife,
who may not see any one outside of her
own family for weeks. 1t Is a great
mistake for young people to isolate
themselves. Even If their tastes lead
them to quiet life, they should make
1t a point to cultivate few agreeable
friends.-Woman's Life.

her little perplexities, ETC., but she nev.
er wholly confdes in you in the sasns
old way. She soon drifts out Of your
life, new friends come into 1t, and tho
girl friend slips into a little sphere Of
her own. She Is still beloved by the
girl friend. but even the single girl no
longer delights in telling her little Sc
crets. reading her the letters, or max
ing her a confldant in any manner.
The young bride will claim to be just
the same yesterday, to-day and forever,
but as soon as she vows to "love, honor
and obey" one Of the masculine tribe,
then farewell to the girl friend.

Your Expression.

What kind Of expression do you wear
liabitually?
Is 1t sour, morose. repellent?
Do people look happier when you ap-
prOach them, or do they shrink from
you?
1t makes all the difference in the
world with your prospects for success
IN either society or business what sort
of expression you wear.
The candidate for success should
learn the power of smile, not only
because it wins friends, but because its
power over ones life is unreasonable
The effort to be always kind, cOnsid-
crate and gentle, no matter what may
be ranking In the heart, has a great
influence in Transforming life.

Anyone who is fond of dainty nee
1lework could make such a wrap as
the one illustrated at small expense,
although the French model from which
the sketch was taken was decidedly
high in price, owing to the hand-braid-
ng used as trimming The wrap was
tut in one piece and was of white filet

A Remedy for Ants.

1t is said that an effectual cure for
the ants that are the bane Of many a

an earthenware vessel a quarter of a

fee from this mixture be very sure the

CHAPTER XVIII.

It was a week since they had carried
away all that remained of the once hand
some, merry young Lord Iverne and
buried him with pomp and solemnity in
the Marlborough vault. A telegram had
winged its flight across the ocean to Mel
bourne, from whence Mr.. Sampson had
received a curt announcement Of John
Glendurwoods safe arrival-a telegram
briefly giving the sad news of one broth
er's death to another, but no answer had
been vouchsafed, and the lawyer could
not but entertain strong doubts as to
whether the new Marquis of Iverne was
gone still further on his travels. and 80
their message was unread.
Craiglands was very sad In those days.
The duchess seemed to break down alto
gether after her sons death. Yet, despite
all this, she was gentle and kind to Au-
drey beyond description; she could not
have given the girl more love If she had
been her own child. They were quiet
days, and peaceful, and Audrey found
many little duties to perform which help
ed to make the hours fly. She was very
pale and delicate, but she refused to al
low Jean to consider her an invalid, and
was never weary of fitting about the
duchess, eager to do all and anything in
her power to alleviate the sorrow which
was depressing the mothers heart. The
only distraction was Willie Fullerton's
weekly visits, when his breezy, happy
manner seemed to change the very atmos-
phere.
Snow had fallen heavily and it lay on
the ground during the whole month Of
January and onward. Despite this, how
ever. Audrey would persist in going out
a. much a. possible.

who was fearful Of every cold wind that
blew on her darling. II must 60, Jean

Men Their own Members.

Mrs. Mckinley used to tell a story
about Canton woman who declared
that her husband was very slipshod,
his buttons always coming OF. Some
one suggested that possibly they were
not we'll sewed on and she admitted
that to be the case, as he was very
poor sewer. Mrs. Ibsen says that her
distinguished husband always insisted
on sewing on his own buttons and she
humored him, but as soon as he had
finished she sewed them over again.

Idle Women Are Scored

Mentally, morally and physically
fiabby," is the way one of the periodi-
calls characterizes the women who live
in apartment hotels to avoid the
troubles of housekeeping. They are
abnormally developed as to bust and
hips, says the same authority; they pet
bull pups instead Of children, and spend
their days in idleness mixed with
bridge. A picture not very compliment

Richmond traders yesterday waited
for the New York market, and the New
York market waited TO read the speech
of Secretary Taft, delivered at Column
the speech of President Roosevelt, at
Provincetown. Neither of the speeches
was reassuring. but thew contained a
few grains of comfort and the Market

This morning we heard the much
talked of speech of Mr.. Taft. This was
strong exposition of the attitude OF
the administration. and, although II
contained little or no encouragement

cation of disposition on the part OF

many feared they would be. judging
by the late utterances by other mem.
