When Stitching Taffeta,

Not every dressmaker knows that
the reason taffeta so often cuts in
stitching is because the needle is
blunted Or rusted. 1t is much better
to use one that is new and rather fine

there is much stitching to he done.

rising moon.
Slightly before this, Marina had
been sitting on the long veranda of
the Corsican farmhouse, the lighted
lamps placing some tinges of ruby in
her dark brown hair and giving color
to the light costume that enhances
her loveliness.
Quietly entering from the house,
Cipriano Danella, costumed in the old
time, romantic Corsican garb, gazes
upon the exquisite girl outlined by the
light costume.
The eagerness of his glance draws
Mrs. Anstruthers eyes to him. She
looks up and says: "Ah, Count Cipri-
ano, it was very noble of you, who
had feared would hate me, to rescue
me from the Lucchese.' At your adj
vice, l have rested here, but to-mor-
row, notwithstanding the romantic
serenade you have provided for me-
must so on to Bastia.'
"Oh, yes, to Bastia," murmurs the
count softly, and stepping nearer, says
suavely, though there is a weird sug-
gestion in his voice that somewhat dis
quiets the lady: I'VE are alone here
in my old farmhouse, only old Martha

dawn, and my nephew. Count Enrico.'
II haven't seen him." remarks the
girl uneasily.
"Parbleu, you did once, the gentle
man with the scar upon his face, the
one who delivered the letter that
caused your nerves to Jump in the
Marseilles railroad station. Even now
his name seems to have an i'll effect
upon you," for Marina has started up,
and the fluttering of her light skirts
shows her limbs are trembling.
Mia Madre, was he the man." she
shudders. And was it you who penned
it?" Then some divination entering
her mind, she implores pathetically:
''HOly Virgin, no harm has come to
Edwin? Have I not kept the cruel
pact? Have / not deserted my dear
husband? 1t was the promise of that
awful letter that no evil should come
to Edwin if left his arms
"Ah, but you intended to return to
them, bella mia" smiles the gentle
man.
The young wife scarcely heeds the
insinuation of the subtle Italian term,
but stammers confused: Why do
you think that"

SEND OUT THOUGHT WAVES.
Band of Women Endeavor to Influence

Chicago, March 27.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Aurora, Ill, says:
While the Rev. William WATSON, an
Episcopalian clergyman of Riverhead,
N. Y, argued against local option in
Aurora last night before 1000 hearers,
a little band of women who believe in
the powers of telepathy sat in the
audience and sent out thought waves
in an endeavor to confuse him in his
arguments.
They were representatives of new
ly organized woman's auxiliary to the
Aurora Local Option organization
Some of the more imaginative and en-
thusiastic of the workers for local
option proposed that an attempt be
made to influence the mind of the
speaker through the mysterious chan
nels of thought, and those that at
tended volunteered for the trial. What
they accomplished is known only to
themselves, and they declined to give
out any interviews after the meeting

source of strength which Will De calleo

healthy and f1ourishing condition in

all building records will be broken in
the residence section this summer. A
good location close in, either for rent
or for sale, is hard to get. Vacant lots
in desirable locations are scarce and
there is a brisk demand for them
A Kansas avenue agent said: There
is big demand for houses to rent
Most of the applicants are out of town
people. Topeka is enjoying a healthy
growth this spring. Even over in the
southeast part of the city where so
many houses were built last year for
the Santa Fe shopmen the houses are
all taken and this, mind you, in the
face of the fact that the road had laid
off so many of its shop employees the
past winter on account of the panic
A large number of these houses were
vacated at the time, but they are filed
up now.
."There is a large aomunt of building
planned in the suburbs southeast,
southwest and west of the city. Real
estate prices are high and firm. The
greatest need of the city at this time
is for large and modern office and
store buildings in the business section.
The residence section has outstripped
the business section in growth. a
large number of fine business struc-
lures were planned last fall before the

least a dozen more modern three and

now on the avenue, and there are sites

And so the story went all around
the circle of the real estate men or the
city. All were pleased with present
conditions and optimistic. as regards
the future. A real estate man mates
