manded Margaret. =
Track Twelve" came the response.
Hurry up! They're just closing the
gates"
with a little Shrek of excitement
Margaret dashed down the concourse
and slipped through the gate just IN
time. She paused uncertainty, looking
for the private car. A brakeman darted
forward, half pushed her upon the rear
platform and the train began to move.
There was clamor at the gate. evil
IDENTIFY from the people who had missed
the train, and Margaret smiled con-
tentedly as she realized by how mar
row margin she had caught the train
herself.
The friendly brakeman looked pug
zled when she spoke of special car.
but at last a light dawned upon his
face.
That was to be attached to the
Washington express" he explained
The train Is twenty minutes late"
And I'm on the wrong train." she
cried.
ITS alright If you want to go to
New York. Web get there about the
time they do" -
Then may as we'll stay on" Mar
garet moved forward to the Pullmans
still attended by the brakeman. She
had just entered the first of the parlor
cars when she felt tug at her sleeve.

What are you doing here?"

he explained. Il got the license, and
tried to get word to you. but It seems
that your father took precaution to put

One of them had me arrested for dis

that you were on your way back home"
THAT was horrid," she said. 1T was
not like father"
But you see he's worked SO hard
that he wants to land the match"
Meg frowned as she always did when
reminded Of her approaching marriage
An English duke with vast estates and
an infinitesimal income had asked her
hand in marriage, and her father had
given assent In her name
Francis Cadmus had been ambitious
for his daughter He had always frown-
ed upon Jimmy Dorval's suitNeven while
admitting that he was fine young fet-
low and bound to make his way in the
world.
Ben Tibbettsons daughter had mar
ried baronet. Here was a chance to
administer a final coup to Tibbettson,
who had boosted of his titled son-in-
law ever since. So when young Dorval
began to show signs of insubordina-

Now is the time to make these things,
and the shops are full of the most at
tractive cotton materials.
Whole rooms are being covered in
one color-blue and white peacock's

lamp shade is of cotton to match. and
the silk one is put away for winter use

Then be content with fewer costumes.

With three costumes it is wonderful
what a showing q woman can make.
A tailor made.
A best dress of wolfe or fotflard.
A white or ecru lingerie frock.
These will be found to fit most occa-
sions. Later on, when they are marked
down. you can add couple of linen
suits ready made, or Just before you
go to the country a couple OF cotton
frocks.
Now word about the way this

The tailor made should be on strictly

tight fitting, the material light in tone

The best dress should have lacy

shoulder cape.

Many rheumatic attacks are due

uric acid from the blood. Its pres
