The introduction of many soft and

silks and cloths of days gone by has
entirely revolutionized mourning at

Crepe as trimming is not likely to
be taken from it's place of honor,
while there is no denying that as a
trimming it combines admirably with
soft fabrics, which are so high in
favor nowadays, the new make of
crepe being as amenable as the thin
fabrics themselves.
The old fashioned glossy crepe,
which in times past caused such end
less anxiety to its wearer lest it's bril-
liant surface and unimpeachable stiff
ness should be marred by the first
drop of rain and which was apt to as
sumo depressing rusty look after a

~ HERE is honor among the deni-
Ill zens of Paxton alley. bur Mr.
Smiths toy-shop stood at the
very entrance, and they reckoned him
out of bounds.
From time to time evil-looking men
muttered to one another about the
long stocking that Mr.. Smith was
supposed to have filled; but he had
figured in the prize ring in his young
er days. and he was said to sleep
with a big knob stick beside him.
So the matter ended at mutterings.
A big. powerful man was Mr. Smith;
and he had powerful edge to his
tongue. Every one in the alley feared
him except Jimmy.
Mr.. Smith knew him as the extra
ordinary paper-boy who brought back
dime given him in mistake for a
penny. an event which was his
torical in the alley. AT the time it
gave rise to doubts as to Jimmys
he was playing up to the old
man."
Anyhow. Mr.. Smith took two pa
pers regularly afterward; and the day
after his funeral-which was the day
before Christmas eve-a sleek man
In shiny top hat invaded Paxton al
ley. escor.ed by policeman, and
took evidence as to the identity of
the boy called Jimmy who sold pa
pers" to the public generally, and in
particular to the late Mr.. Smith.
When the sleek man was satisfied
upon this point he proclaimed Jimmy
the sole legatee of the estate, which
comprised the little shop and house
and all their contents.

seemed to be burning all over.
He moved in on the morning of
Christmas eve. and explored the
house with kind of numb curiosity.
He spent most OF the morning in the
shop parlor In the armchair In front
of the fire. He did not even go out
to the quick-lunch room for the beau
tiful dinner that he had promised
himself. He had taken a lot of milk
from the milkman. and he kept drink.
ing that. He did not seem to care
about anything but milk, and every.
thing felt strange 2nd uncanny. The
figure on the mantelpiece-a white
bearded old gentleman which he be-
lieved was called Santa Caus-was
the strangest and uncanniest OF all.
The fire was almost out, so he put
on some more coal. He saw that 1t
was nearly four o'clock. "Lumme!"
he muttered. 'rve let the day go, an
'aven't done no business. This won't
do. I'll take down the shutters, an
open the shop"
1t had been hard autumn, and
the people on whom Paxton alley
preyed were short OF money So Pax
ton alley was short of money, too
II few entered the shop. there were
enough outside. A dozen cold, red
blue noses flattened themselves
against the glass; dozen shrill
voices clamored; IA dozen little hands
pointed with grImy. chilblainy fingers
here and there.

the toy-shop window. and how the
woman he lived with then had thrash.
ed him for spending on marbles n

papers. II was his own money, he
held. or he wouldn't have done It.
For. by some freak of nature, Jimmy

believe he could walk; but when O
