So Edith Murray remained In ig-

Anstruther had made for the purpose
of saving her from the consequences
of her fathers foolish speculation.
Each quarter sha received her in

on time assauged her grief. She be-
lieved in keeping herself always busy,
and what leisure she had to spare
from household duties she devoted to
charitable and church work.
A little place like Dunthorpe is al

Fashion Notes.

Chamois gloves are just as smart
as ever.
Gray in various shades is destined
to be very popular color.
Sleeves for this ceason's coats are
either three-quarter or full length.
All red hats have made their peren-
NAL appearance and are most charm
ing.
A small hat raised on one side in
mousquetaire style is lined with black
satin.
In contrast colors an artistic taste.
as well as true knowledge of color.
is obligatory.
Among the really useful trinkets
may be counted the flexible metal sup
ports for collars.
The ribbon necklet with jeweled
slides is worn with both high and
low-necked gowns.
Shot effects in silk bid fair to be as
popular as stripes, which sooner or
later will become common.
AueTe 10 return TO the style OF
lifting the brim on the left side. a
pretty as well as chic" fashion in
hats.
A great many of the models which
have been designed to be carried out
in linen would be equally good in the
light woods.
A toque entirely covered with little
pufings of tulle had for trimming
nothing but the wired bow Of rich
red velvet ribbon.
Almost without exception, coats are
being made hip length. Collarless
coats are new, but the shawl collar is
seen on some of the late models.
Marquis-blue and forest-brown
make combination of colors in
which the French makers of hats and
gowns are bringing out some stun
ming models.
The reintroductiop of the Greek
dress for evening wear is of con-
spicucus significance; while the mer-
its OF directoire and empire modes
continue to be recognized.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The race for wealth merely leads
to mausoleum.
Spontaneous thoughts are often
like the gun we didn't know was
loaded.
The man who really appreciates
single blessedness is doubly blessed.
It's pity that the self-made man
doesn't always make himself agree
able.
There isn't anything more nerve
racking than an old maid of fifty
trying to be cute.
The average woman is foolish
about her age. 1t is better to tell 1t
than have it guessed at.
Even poet will stumble unless he
is 3ure-footed.
When young mans heart is LAGER
ated, look for the lass.
1t takes certain amount of ability
to back up even bluff.
A girl may have teeth like pearls
and still be as dumb as an oyster.
A sermon is sometimes based upon
text, and sometimes upon a preteyt.
Love laughs at locksmiths. In
fact, locksmiths won't even keep the
wolf from the door.
Time is money. but we can't pay
o. debts with 1t.
A fighting chance is all the average
woman requires.
We wouldn't mind the unexpected
if it didn't happen so often
The trusts demonstrate that many
a profit is without honor.
Success merely means hard work,
but then so does the lack of it.
A man may feel that he is stand
ing up for his rights when he keeps
his seat in crowded car.-From

Philosopher, in the New York Times.

Stretch the Face.

Now it's the face stretch. The new
est aid to beauty has become the
rage in Paris and doubtless will gain
wide vogue here. 1t Is guaranteed
to make the average woman past
thirty look ten years younger. The
best of it is you can do it yourself.
Several European specialists" pro-
fess to monopolize the secret of its
success, but that's only a pleasant
little fiction for their own enrichment.
Any woman who will take the trou-
BILE to practice it can work wonders
for herself. 1t consists of stretching
the skin of the face towards the top
of the head. OF course. that makes
folds, but they are hidden in the
hair, and the face is left as smooth as
a schoolgirls. It's simple enough,
yet it requires care and patience. Be-
gin at the base of the throat and rub
gently upward until the hands meet
on the crown. Don't rub the nose.
Let the hands part far enough to
slide on each side of it. But the
cheeks must be pushed upward and
so must the corners of the eyes.
When the hands arrive at the top of
the head lift them and begin again
at the throat. The rubbing should
be extremely light at first, but should
become heavier by nice degrees. Don't
try to do ell the stretching the first
day nor the first week. 1t takes
three weeks to finish the task. But
when it's done the result awards the
effort.-New York Press.

Limitations.

Both in Paris and in Berlin women
have failed as drivers of public vehi-
cles. 1t will be remembered that at
the time this work was taken up con-
siderable opposition was shown to
the adoption by women of calling
which had hithe. 20 been followed by
men only. 1t is better to let them
try. When once woman does recog-
nize her limitations it is much more
likely that the two sexes will not war
so much with each other.-Lady's
Pictorial.

Women Practical Jokers?

Are women practical jokers? The
question was being discussed by two
men who were somewhat interested
in psychology, and as the conversa-
ton progressed it became less scien-
tific and more cynical At last the
younger man brought it down to a
personal basis, proving only one case,
but that one quite conclusively.
MY sister," he began, used to
teach in one of those $1,000 a year
finishing schools for girls. The name
doesn't matter, but you'd recognize
it in minute if told you. | men,
toned my sister to show you how
heard this. Among the teachers there
were half dozen inveterate practical
jokers. One was as bad as another,
so perhaps none deserved any SYM
pathy. Now, the youngest of them
was the instructor in English, and, in
cidentally, poet of no mean ability.
She had been persuaded by her
friends to submit her work to a pub
Usher, with the result that small
volume of poems was brought out.
in this state of affairs one of the
clique of which she was a member
saw great possibilities. She taught
logic, l think. At any rate, she had
a deductive mind capable of making
plans that would work out nicely. So
she wrote letters to fifteen or twenty
OF her friends asking them to write
to the poet, saying they had read her
book with great interest, paying her
all the compliments they could think
OF without seeming insincere, and
asking for her autograph.
AFTER a while the young woman
began to receive the letters. Some
were from New York, three or four
from cities on the Pacific Coast, sew
eral from England. and one from
Constantinople. You can imagine
how elated she was.
Zone afternoon she received note
from the teacher of logic. 1t ran
something like this:
Come up to my room for cup Of
tea. l have new picture which no
doubt you would like to see
"The poet went, and, according to
the established custom, walked in
without knocking. No one was in the
room, but ON the wall was the pic
ture. 1t consisted of a large gilt
frame in which were arranged all the
replies that she had sent to those who
had written letters in praise of her
poetry"

the older man. what did she do?"

CHAPTER w.

So far gossip was correct. In his
foolish student days in Edinburgh
Sydney Anstruther had been en-
trapped into an engagement with his
landlady's daughter. When he found
out her true character he bitterly re-
pented. He declined to marry her,
but she vowed at least she would
prevent him marrying anybody else,
and she had never failed to send him
an annual letter to keep him il mind
of the action for damages which she
held in terrorism over his head. And
now he had hopelessly lost his heart
to Edith Murray. But the bitter
drop in his cup was that he could
not tell her his love, for he could
not endure the idea of dragging her
fair name into any scandal.
But his patient waiting was re-
warded at last. One memorable
morning in February a letter reached
him in the handwriting he had
learned to fear. He opened it trem-
blingly, but when he read its con-
tents a fervent Thank God!" es-
capped his lips. At last he was free.

WHO'S to Blame?

A youthful versifier in Washington
not long ago sought the criticism of a
well known publisher who CHANGED to
be at the national capital on business
with the copyright division of the Lii
brary of Congress
Sir" said the near-poet indignant
ly, when the publisher had brusquely
advised him to burn the stuff
"sir, poets are born, not made"
Whereupon the publisher smiled
broadly. Young man. said he, ut

Women and Finance.

when a woman engages in finan-

she may be, she goes to a man for
advice when the risks are large. There

in a Motor-boat,
The Automobile Of the sea;
To run dow1 Whales
And scrape the scales
VI the Shad and the c. O. d.
Id love to scoot
With honking foot
Through waves that are scraping the sky:
And scare the Shark
In the fathoms dark
Where the cables supinely lie.
I'd love to speed
Thro' dank seaweed,
Over coral and reefs and rocks
Till the old sardine
In the waters green
Was frightened half out of his box
Id love to dash
With a roar and splash
Through the ocean so vast and cool,
And break up the class
As / noisily pass
In the Porpoise's Saline School
I've had my day
In the usual way
In my little red car so free,
And now | wish
Mid the waves and fish
TO do just the same at sea!

"Oh, but it's true as gospel, I as

over it."
Miss Spence paused with saIsfac-

impression at last. Edith's face was
a study.
Its good thing your father had
no shares in the concern" she con-
tinued; "or you would have been
ruined this day, Miss Murray, and
your furniture probably sold off. Or
was it possible that he had any
shares?"
He had; but Mr.. Anstruther
bought them, and paid me more for
them than my father paid" said
Edith.

How Edith Murray got her guest
to the door she never remembered;
but as soon as she was alone in the
house she sat down at her desk and
wrote a letter to Sydney. asking him
to come and see her. And then she
sat long time in silence thinking.
