| should not be striking in itself. Eeav-
ily-spOtted nets and lace wells of con.
spicuous pattern should be for this
reason tabooed. They are trying to
rise above their sphere, trying to be
something on their own account, and
so they conceal the face, and Incl
dentally ruin the eyes.
Nevertheless, it is the veil with
the large, conspicuous mesh that
fashion is specially favoring both in
Paris and New York just now.
For the perfect complexion the
best veil is perhaps the plain, fairly
large-mesh net which is hardly no
ticeable and only serves to keep the
hair in place Most of us. however
require in the hard light of out or
doors some simple beautifier, and for
us the spots and lines of the patterned
nets are boon,
"The most generally becoming veil
has a black figure on a white ground;
the white net coming close to the
skin heightens its fairness, while the
black spots accentuate its brilliancy.
A veil of this type is becoming &C

Of it's spots. The black chenille dots
with a generous space between act
like the old-f9ShioDpd "r1ouchp - the
touch of black court-plaster at the
side Of the chin or near the outer
corner of the eye, so much affected
by the clever beauties of the time of
Marie Antoinette. When these spots
come closely together the white
spaces are not sufficiently large to do.
their work and the effectiveness OF
the spots is almost if not entirely,

a series of awful revolutions, his
head striking the ties at every turn
followed the train for at least 100

and several Of the party turned then
heads away from the bouncing form.

now he was wondering whether it
was to be the doctor or the student
farmer The father had mOrtgaged
the farm to put the son through col
lege and the latter. unable to find
issInediate, satisfactory employment
on leaving school, brushed aside his
Latin and Greek and went to work
on the farm with the object OF pay
ing back the borrowed money. His
rustic neighbors sarcastiCaIly chided
him for gong back to manual labor
and they would often remark, in their
wise way, that Education didn't
amount to much" But Bob gave lit
tie attention to their narrow philOs-
ophy. Dear little Winnie had impOr-
tuned him to borrow money from hel
father with which to pay the trou-
blesOme debt. as there was to be no
marriage until the mortgage was
cleared. But Bob said that would be
but shifting the obligation from one
person to another and his duty to
pay would be, if possible, even strong
er than ever.
Frank Wilson had just graduated
erom a Chicago medical college. He
was a second cousin to Winnie Briggs
and had stopped off to visit the fam
lily on his way to Colorado. The sec
Ond day Of his visit at the Briggs
house Bob received q note from Win
ME which said that out of respect
to their guest she hoped Bob would
excuse her from the usual drive dur
ing the doctors stay. The next ev-
euing Bob y called at the Briggses,
only to be informed by the parents
that Winnie and the doctor had gone
for a drive.
"Oh. well. who would blame her?
She is right What is the use of her
waiting indefinitely for me to clear
off a $4,000 mortgage with the prod,
ucts of a small farm and then love
in a cottage for an indefinite period
when by marrying the doctor she can
escape all this. I for one will not

4 Internationally release you from
your engagement and hope that your
future life will be one rosy bliss,

troyed. but finally sealed and sent.
The next day the doctor was to
leave for Colorado and Winnie sud,
denly determined to visit her aunt
at Hanover. a small town about ten
miles from Briggsville. as the station
and water tank near the Briggs place
was known. She would go that far
with the doctor in the morning
When Bob heard that Winnie hat
accompanied the doctor to Hanover
