tered. l held out my hand gravely,
without a word, and although he took
it as gravely, he also stopped and
touched my hair with his lips.
And then, like a silly child, I was
sobbing on his shoulder and he was
telling me the story I had waited SO
long to hear.
Then | told him how my accident
had occurred, and he in turn told me
something of my school friend / had
never dreamed.
Inez-my beautiful Inez-had lured
my brother on during their summer
ing a year before, and had then
laughed at him in her soft, low, mu-
steal voice when he made known his
heart, and it had gone hard with him
at first; but she treated a mutual
friend of theirs in the same way,
only he had not Toms pride-and a
pistol bullet was easiest, he said, and
! soonest over, and that had turned my
Toms in~fatuation to hatred of the
beautiful girl-woman, who also tried
her arts on this brave friend of his
without success.
Tom was too noble for her!" his
friend finished frankly, land | had not
met you then, Sorrel, but her treach-
cry kept me safe! / had not met you,
my sweet little girl, without whom the
house is dark and silent"
"And without my hair!" l added
presently, with an attempt at sauci
ness, but there were tears in my eyes
as well. "a poor little strawberry
blonde to match with her exquisite
beauty"
"Don't!" he said imperatively. "Yor

rel-it isn't respectful to me; and If il

IF it hadn't been for my hair"
added, taking up the pause. But w

seen her from that day, for she re
turned to her home in Spain. And
t am certain that Tom has no pain i
t the memory of their summer, save tn
recollection of the sad little TRACED
of the ending of a life under he
falsity, for Tom never loved her i

Tn Clean Window Shades,

We have all heard the story of the
woman who told the new maid to wash
the curtains, meaning the lace ones,
and came into the kitchen just in
time to discover the newest window
shades melting in the boiler. But we
do not all know that when shades are
merely dust soiled the surface can be
freshened by the application Of hot
cornmeal. The shade should first be
spread out fiat on a large table and
the meal rubbed in with a circular mo-
ton Of the palm. Then If rubbed
gently with a soft, dry cloth the meal
and the dust it has absorbed will be
removed without leaving any trace of
either.-Country Life in America.

Example Of Modern Engineering.

A remarkable example of the scru-
pulous exactness with which modern
engineering work is accomplished Is
found in the new piece of the Suevic,
which has been placed to within one
sixteenth of an inch of the position 1t
must occupy to allow Of the two parts
of the vessel to be Joined. When the
tubes of London, working from either
end, were about to be united it was
found that they were only an inch or
two out of line. The ordnance survey
Of England, when the various sections
we're brought together, showed a dis
crepancy of less than five inches, and
the construction Of the Forth bridge,
the greatest feat of all, was more re-
markable still. When the king came
to drive the last bolt the hole through
the various plates was so near that
the heat from a flaming paper was suf-
ficient to expand the metal and allow
Of the rod being thrust through.-Pall
Mall Gazette.

Is There Not DANCER?

Is it poor policy for the farmers and
the laborers of the land to help build
up less than a dozen large stores stu
ated in great cities to do business of
thousands of dollars in country towns
One Chicago concern does a business
through the mails of $60,OOO,OOO a
year. Twenty thousand dollars in
business is about the average for the
country town store. Here we have
an example of one concern doing the
business of 5000 small stores. Is there
not danger that should these great con-
Germs through their immense business
drive the local dealers out of trade
that they would become like other
great combines, oppressors of the peo-
ple?

SEASON OF PLAITS
FASHIONABLE GARMENTS INcoM-
PLETE WITHOUT THEM.
No Exception Made Of Any Material
Proper Way to Utilize Chiffon
and Other Thin Dress Goods
Simple Shirt Waists.

No matter what the garment, no mat
ter what the texture of the material,
no matter what the figure of the
wearer may be, you will e plaits in
some form.
Of course, all these plaits are not
alike, but plaits there must be, II 1t Is
of this seasons manufacture, and the
dress that will not permit of plaits
cannot be remodeled from last year in
a satisfactory manner
Now that we are not to have any
hips-if you have you must get rid
Of them by hook or crook-the full
plated skirt is not such a bugbear as
it might be. Everything from heavy
cheviot to the sheerest chiffon is
plated. The heavy goods a be
plated and stitched very fat and well
pressed; then cut away the goods from
under the plat, thus reducing the bulk
about waist and hips.
Chiffon and other thin goods Is sim
ply laid in deep plaits and blind
stitched down. This goods cannot be
cut away, as it would show through,
but by laying the plaits in accurately
and pressing thehm properly, they do
not add to the apparent size OF the
wea1er.
Simple shirt waists are laid in wide
box plaits If the material is heavy,
while in the sleasy goods, now so
much worn for fancy blouses, the ma
terial is laid in tiny folds of plaits SO
close that they almost overlap each
other.
Simple as some of these models o.
to the casual glance, they represent
much goods and very careful work
manship. Crooked plaits are impossi-
BILE. and working on chiffon is no easy
task.
There is a marked return of simple
effects in shirt waists, owing to the
fact that the elaborate lingerie waist
with hand-worked flowers, scrolls
wreaths, ETC., has been very much
overdone. In it's place we nave 9

BUILD UP LOCAL ENTERPRISES.
Individual Effort a Factor In the Prog
ress Of Cities and Towns.

A well known eastern %flnancier, who
for some time was the president OF a
large trust company, recently re-
signed, giving as his reason thai a
man, according to his belief, can do
better working for himself, and that
no man can really earn a salary equal
to what he can make in business for
himself. One of the conservative
financial papers in commenting upon
the move of the flnancier here referred
to says that in these days, when all
kinds of business are being converged
into stock companies, the number OF
trades in which a man may engage in
business for himself have become so
few that for a great bulk of men, even
those having the mental equipment
which in other years would have been
sufficient to make them their own
masters, there is now no other opening
than that of service for some corpora
ton. For the bulk of the people, out
side of those in agricultural pursuits,
1t is service for the corporation or no
work at all. This truth is becoming
more evident day by day. Even the
farmers are feeling the grasp of cor
porate methods. 1t is true that mil

Fools and Wise Men.

Some one said that fools, women
and children need be protected" The
author of the phrase seemed to not
take into consideration that it is some
times hard to distinguish between the
fool and the wise man. He is wise
indeed who does not nibble at the
bats on the hooks held out to catch
him. How many people, time and time
again, find themselves caught on some
contract deal, find that some sleek
agent has sold them a lot of inferior
groceries for twice the amount that
they could buy the same quantity of
goods from a local dealer, and get a
far better quality? Be careful when
dealing with strangers. Remember
the biggest frauds present the most
plausible appearance. Don't sign any
kind Of a contract or order without
the most careful investigation.

DAINTY DESIGNS I'M COLLARS.
Almost Any Material and Shape Has
Popular Approval.

The linen collars and tabe are just
as fiat as pressing can make them. In
the first place the linen collar is plain
and shaped. There is a style which
hearkens back to the collar which was
rounded at the back, the sides and
followed slightly under the chin. This
is now the prevailing style. 1t may be
fitted with a jabot Of the same, though
the fanlike arrangement is pressed
very fiat and has a decided tailor
effect. This does not mean that frills
are not used, for undoubtedly they
are, and in great numbers. Some Of
the prettiest fluffy collars Of the sea-
son are dainty affairs Of ethereal ma
terial, banded with pale ruching. A
pale tan silk ruching attached to ecru
lace is very handsome. It must be
fashioned to open in the back, for the
tie in front must be arranged neatly
and sewed into place for all time.
Other linen collars are made with
small mercerized cotton dots worked
over the surface. When ironed with
a gloss they are very pretty to wear
with white or colored waists. One
collar made with white dots had each
miniature dot outlined with a narrow
black ring, The small black bow at
the front gave a dainty touch.

Need of Good Schools.

Intelligence is the distinguishing
mark between the savage and civil
lied man. Education is one Of the
greatest of Gods blessings, and ig-
a curse. In America there ex-
lists no valid reason why every man,
woman and child Of normal brain
should not have an education. There
is no phase of life where knowledge is
not necessary. In the most progress
sive communities is where the superior
schools are found. Help along your
town and help along education in gen
eral. By affording your children a
chance for a good education, you Of
fer them riches that cannot be meas
ured by dollars. Because education is
capital that cannot be destroyed; it is
ready cash in hand, assets that one
cannot be robbed Of only by an act OF
Providence.

Favors Soon Forgotten.

Not many years ago the majority
of farmers in newly settled sections
were dependent upon the business
men and the merchants Of the towns
to carry them through between crops.
There are farmers who can look back
a few years ago and see where they
we're favored when in want Of supplies
and had not the money to pay for the
same, Prosperity changes many, and
this may be the cause why those who
a dozen years ago were so anxious to
see the country develop, now send
much Of their money to outside places
for goods needed, instead Of keeping
their dollars at home to further en-
rich their community; and how soon
are favors forgotten. The merchants
who assisted in making success pos
/ sible for many by quite a few are
passed by. Is this Christian graft,
! tude?

How to Make Beef chowder.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF SKIRTS.
French and American Ideas Are Not
This Year in Accord.

Never before in the history Of dress
has the length Of the skirt been Q mat
ter Of such Importance as it Ia this
year." writes Grace Margaret Gould,
the fashion editor, in the Woman's
Home Companion. 1T 10 on the skirt
length question that the American
and the French woman have
such entirely different views. The
short skirt for comfort is what the
average American vDman likes, while
the French woman favors the long
trailing skirt with Its graceful lines.
.Here in America this year there
will be two different types Of skirts in
fashionable favor. One Is the. walking
or trotteur skirt, which is shorter than
1t has ever been before. It will vary
In length according to the individual
preference OF the weareF, some walk
ing skirts escaping the ground by but
two inches, others being as short as
five inches. 1t Is needless to say, how
ever that the short skirt will be
worn exclusively for walking. The

To Make Clothes White.

Nothing will bleach white materials
like sunshine and fresh air. If 1t yer
possible for every laundress to have
for her use a clean grass plot there
would be no need for bluing. The
italian women wash their clothes in
the running water Of streams or on
the banks Of rivers, beating them on
the rock, which, of course, is more or
less damaging to the clothes. After
the clothes are washed they are
spread out on the grassy banks to
dry in the sunshine, and no matter
how mutilated the garments may be
or how poorly ironed they are GER
tainly dazzlingly white.

LIGHTING H ROOM
A MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN
THE HOME.
Side Lights Increase Apparent Size Of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Still Used
for Reading Lamps-Fernery
for Dining Table.

OF the various problems of furnish
ing a house, the question of lighting is
an important factor. For rooms oi
some height it is generally agreed
that the invisible source Of light is
the best. This means concealed lights
high above the eye, that reflect upon
the ceiling and then throw a soft light
down over the whole room. High cell
ings, however, are not built in the
ordinary house, and. therefore, would
be impracticable for domestic use. Inc
apparent size of rooms in an apart
ment or house may be considerably
increased by using side lights instead
of the regulation chandelier. A pail
may be placed near the piano, another
over a corner seat or against a book
case, and so on, to give light where
specially needed.
Some consider, however, that q
house is not properly lighted where
side fixtures alone are used. Low cen.
trail lights are often a necessity, and
these requirements are best met by
lamps OF drop-lights. Even where
electricity and gas are used, Kerosene
is still popular. 1t provides a steadier
and softer light for reading. Many oil
the lamps of to-day are handsome to
look at, but give a poor light for read
ing or sewing. No form of electric
bulb has yet been designed that in lite
unshaded form is beautiful or artistic,
The ordinary bulb needs a covering
that will give beauty, and the shade
must be carefully considered.
Nothing gives the dining table a
more cheerful appearance than a few
flowers or a fernery. So popular has
the custom become that the filling OF
ferneries Is a large part Of the florists
business. They should be made with
an outer and inner receptacle. The
inner case can be taken out and re-
moved from the table whenever wa
tering is necessary. Stand the ferns
in the dish first and then carefully fill
in the soil between the plants, press
ing it down firmly and evenly. Ferns
will not grow in the common garden
soil. but should have rich soil from
the woods. The common hardy green
house varieties are the best plants to
buy. Whatever receptacle is selected
it should not be less than three inches
deep.
Several new and attractive sand
witch filings are suggested: Take
green peppers, remove seeds, chop fine
and simmer for ten minutes in butter
Add a dash of salt and cool. Spread
between thin slices of lightly buttered
bread; cover with a layer of grated
American cream cheese.
Mince fine cold boiled ham, chop fine
some peanuts, using half the amount
of ham. For every cupful of ham use
a heaping tablespoonful of minced
sour pickles and half a cupful o.
chopped celery. Mix to a good paste
with salad dressing.
Chop very fine blanched almonds
add cream cheese and chopped olives

of to-day. Everything must be plated,
and goods that will not stand this
process is better off lying on the coun-
tiers than in the sewing-room.
Do not get silk for an odd skirt, and
in the second place, have all of your
skirts plated. Never mind if it does
cut into the goods; make it up-to-date
at any cost. Taffeta silk skirts are
only suited for spring and summer,
wear :
If you want an odd skirt now, get a
black broadcloth in what is known as
chiffon weight. A good quality Of
black broadcloth, with a stain finish,
makes a charming skirt for your old
blouses and is very reasonable. Taf-
fetas and rajahs are not for cold
weather.

Dreamed Carrots.

For creamed carrots, pare and cut
