There are a number of classes of
Persian cats, the division between
them being purely arbitrary and based
on the color Of the fur. The most
beautiful of all the Persians is the
pure white. They are, however, very
hard to keep clean, and a dirty white
cat is certainly anything but an orna-
ment about ones rooms. 1t is unfor-
Atunate that many white cats are deaf,
so when one is making purchase Of

ton to test the hearing. Another fall
ing which white cats have, in common
with all light colored cats, is that their
constitutions are not SO vigorous as
those Of Sthe dark haired cats.

TO KEEP SUPPLY OF STOCKS.
No Problem at All for Those skiIlful
with the Needle.

With the tailored waists and skirts
demand for all kinds of stocks. Their
attractiveness depends so much on
their freshness that a generous sup
ply is needed. If one is handy with
the needle a great many of these
pretty trifies may be made for little
expense.
One chic stock is made of linen.
The collar is made of double material
and there are two shaped pieces of
single linen embroidered. These
pieces are the width of the collar in
back and taper to the front, where
they are an inch wide. They lap in
the front and button. One piece is set
In the end of the collar, between the
two pieces of linen. The other piece
Is finished neatly and is fastened
to the top and bottom of the other
end of the collar. This leaves long
opening like large buttonhole. The
first end passes through this. The
tab end is made of two shaped strips
Of linen, single pieces, and is joined
by embroidery. This tab end is sep
arate and slips between the collar and
the buttoned ends.
Any simple design may be embroid-
cred on the ends of the tab on one
side, and the other end on the oppo-
site side, so that when Tapped over
the embroidery on both ends of the'tab
will be right side out.

growled Tarnley with his back to her,
trying to recover his equanimity.
There was no denying that Tarn-
ley was frightfully smitten. 1t was so
serious an infatuation that it had
passed the power of mere words,
so he had ceased to rave about Miss
Edmont to the other fellows. Other
men might remark fervently that their
best girls We're peaches and ''out of
sight" but Tarnley only gripped his
pipe tighter and gazed at the ceiling
while he thought pityingly of the other
fellows
His alteration had been so volcanic
and sweeping that he had edged all
other admirers from the field. Tarn-
ley was exceedingly good looking and
ly did not object. He lived in a dream
Of anticipation before every party and
in heavenly trance during the occa-
sion while he was the proud cavalier
of Helene Edmont attired in some con-
lection of white or pale pink After
ward he walked around with his head
in the air, thinking how she had out
shone every other girl

omore and worldly wise. You'll out
grow it and outlive it. The first at
tack is precisely the same as being
vaccinated-and when you get the real
thing it won't go hard with you in con-
sequence.
Tarnley gazed upon Bobbett with
scorn and passed on. Let Bobbett talk
about the real thing in the future-lit-
tie he knew that for Tarnley a great
and glowing sun already had risen
which was to illume his life for ever
and ever!
When the year was ended and Tarn-
ley had to bid her good-by for three
months the occasion was, epic. He
stood pale and very straight and tall
and held her hand.
Every day?' he asked. You'll
write every day."
"Oh, yes" she promised.
Il don't know how I'm going to en-
dure not seeing you," Tarnley went on
thrillingly. TIT seems as if the
world has come to an end, Helene

Getting his suitcase, he boarded the
train for the flourishing city from
whence he hailed.
Three months is long time. OF
course Tarnley went about and at
tended picnics and parties with other
girls, but his heart was still true to
Helene. Various things seemed to in
terrupt Helene's promised routine of
letter day. She was east at the
seashore and there were trains and
boats interfering and then, she wrote, !
she was having such splendid time.
In the fall when Tarnley came tear
ing back to Chicago he rushed to see
Helene the first thing. She was out.
