A DELAYED LETTER.

And What Happened When the Misslve
Was Finally Recovered.
The vagaries of the postal service
are sometimes beyond the understand
Iing of the layman. In March Of last
year a man In New York received
Htter from frieIl G:its

ITO return a loan o - nan who
wrote the letter needed funds and
would the debtor kindly send the
money to him, care Of the steamship
line at Philadelphia? The man in New
York saw that his friend would reach
Philadelphia within day or two, so
he promptly clapped ten dollar bill in
an envelope and addressed and mailed
It. A week later he was .apprised by
mail that the money had not arrived.
Both men made diligent search for
the missing letter. But it could not be
found. So the debtor gave his friend
a check and forgot about his $40, set
ting down its loss to the dishonesty Of
some intermediary who had handled
the envelope.
Imagine his surprise when one day
eight months later he received his let
ter from the dead letter office in Wash
fngton. 1t was covered with post
marks and much battered, for 1t had
Travelled many thousands Of miles,
back to England, around the United
Kingdom and to America again, but
the money was safe inside.
Chuckling, he met his friend few
minutes later and showed him the
ten dollar bill.
-.'Etow's that for luck?" he queried.
Great" replied his friend. "Say, old
man, you couldn't lend me that for a
day or two, could you? It's like pick
ing money up in the street for you, and
I could make use Of 1t just now."
Sadly the bill was handed over.
"What's the use OF such wonderful oc-
currences?" ruminated the 'lucky"
man.-New York Post.

BLACK SHOE THREAD IS BEST
Excellent for Fastening Millinery Or
naments In Place.

When trimming a hat the great
problem is how TO fasten the orna-
ments in place. Fine thread and
needles do not seem to be adequate
for the purpose. and, in fact. they are
not. The best thread to use Is black
shoe thread and the best needle Is a
so-called glove needle"-one with a
three-sided point that may be run
easily through almost any substance.
With these two allies at hand II is
not so very difficult to sew whatever
is required, but II is worth while to
mention the different sorts of trim
mings and how to sew each to the
hat, says a writer who would encour.
age home millinery.
Velvet bows should always be made
with shoe thread, and II should be
wrapped around the loop of the bow
so 1t will be quite firm. 1t should then
be sewn to the hat with the same
thread and the needle just de
scribed
Quilts and feathers may be attached
to the hat in the same way, but when
the tips of ostrich plumes must be
caught and held at required angle
ii Is better to use very fine black
thread and a No. 10 needle. The
stitches are then practically invisible
and the result will be very satisfac
