Dear Margeu Doom:

dear Margery loon.
1 am a girl of IS, and in love with
a young man three years my senior. He
ZONES to see me quite often. but he
calls on other girls, too. He makes no
secret of this, although he never talks
about the other girls at all The other
night he asked me If 1 thought enough
of him to give up other young men and
go with him alone. I said 1 did not
know whether l did or not. Then he
said he would not dare think of keep
ing steady company with a girl for sew
eral years, as his father is dead, and he
has a brother two years younger than
he is.
He said that he liked me better than
any of the other girls. l did not know
what to say in return, SO changed the
subject. He is coming to see me Sun
day night, and 1 do not know how to
act. What could 1 say to let him know
that I care for him, and am willing TO
wait until he can marry2 l am very
much in earnest, so please answer as
soon as possible. NERVOUS.
Act the same as always, and do not
try to bring up the subject again. If
he is in earnest he will mention it Of
his own accord. l would advise you to
try to be satisfied with his friendship,
at least until he is in a position to think
of marriage. True friends are scarce,
and I imagine he likes you pretty well.
1t might spoil the friendship If you
gave him to understand that you were
in love with him.

THE QUESTION OF CARRIAGE.

The carriage of the figure is even
more important than the lines of the
figure itself. A beautiful figure poorly
carried shows none of its beauty, while
a poor figure we'll carried with grace
and dignity gives a distinction which is
in itself beautiful, a Harper's Bazaar,
To acquire a good carriage, it is neces-
sary to study the required pose care
fully in the mirror. to then remember
to TAXI that pose whenever rising from
a chair. and to hold it steadfastly. II
requires a constant watchfulness which
makes one sel~f-conscious at first, but in
time becomes a habit-shoulders back
and down, abdomen in. head up and
chin in.

while thinking of Lady Preston as the
means of securing her al Introduction
to Broadstone she recalled what her
friend had said about Eva being in need
of a maid. And in a moment it &C.
Cured to her to go in that capacity,
taking the name of an old servant OF
hers at Saltillo, Margaret Hutchinson.
She drove at once to her friend to
set the negotiation on foot. She had
no difficulty in, arranging matters. She
said that she had remembered a woman
who would suit Lady B~roadstone ad-
mirably, and so managed the affair that
her own name was not to appear at all,
Lady Preston accepting her reference
and passing 1t On as her own to Broad
stone. Then Sadie declared that she
was going away on a trip to the con-
tinent, and in this way cleared the
ground for her absence from London.
With her customary energy all the
other parts of the scheme were set
going at once, and when Don Stuart
dined with her that night, the plans
were virtually complete. 1t was n of
them to keep Don Stuart in England
until she had satisfied herself rs to
Eva's feelings and attitude. If the two
still cared for each other. the best solu-
ton of the trouble ahead was that they
should be brought together again. She
was sure of Don, and he should remain
until she had seen Eva.

DON STUART'S late references to
Eva had removed some of the
hard thoughts which Sadie had
once entertained toward the. woman
who sat in her place as mistress of
Broadstone, and at the first glance at
Eva herself the rest fed incontinently.
The slight black-robed figure, the
pale, sorrowful, old-young face, the
large eyes with their tender doe-like
timidity, the very pose almost pathetic
in its elf-distrustful an%xiousness, told
their own tale. Here was no usurper.
no wrongdoer, no wilful trespasser in
another's home. no trampler upon an
others rights.
Nothing>surely but a victim of harsh
circumstances. Sweetness pining in the
desert of neglect. Youth ageing pre-
maturely for the lack of all that makes
youth young. Love stifled in an at
mosphere of crushed remembrance.
GentIeness starving for warm sympa-
thy and getting the cold respect ten
dered to wealth.

NEEDLE and THREAD


Little girls are wearing aprons again.
and a pretty and practical fashion it is.
The aprons save the wash dresses as
well as the cloth ones, with the virtue
of being easier to launder than the cot
ton frocks.
They are made in one piece, and many
of them are SO constructed that they
may be worn as a dress with separate
guimpe in warm weather. Most IN use
for the purpose are the pretty sheer
lawns and plaid muslins, and the fine
linens. If n more serviceable material
is desired, there are the ginghams,
~chambrays. percales and colored linens.
Lace frilling is pretty and childish, but
not so serviceable for trimming neck
and armhole as embroidery or button

out my affairs while I'm away to bother
your head any more about what I've
just said as to the personal reasons
have for wanting you here. Eyes open
and lips closed was my uncle's motto
for a business man, and 1 reckon that
a rule Eood enough for him will be
about good enough for you;" and in
that way she carried her point with
him.
For the mex few days she had her
hands, very full in concluding all the
other arrangements, seeing lawyers and
others through whom some of the mat
tiers were to be carried through. But
a week saw the preparations all COM
pleted, and she started for the tour or
the continent, to commence with a visit
to Paris.
Don saw her off, and just before they
parted she said: "And now 1 reckon
that Mrs. Sadie Pcrlock is a person of
some Importance, Don, so I want you
to get my departure published in all the
papeFs. It's a little bit of vanity, but
l m a woman and therefore vain. Let
1t be known that I'm going on to Italy
from Paris. It's no sort of use to have
money if you can't spread yourself a
bit in this old world"
Taking this for a little American
vanity, Don smiled as he promised. But
it was not vanity.
The fact was published pretty widely,
and Gilbert Dorrison read all about it,
and once more CRASHED his teeth over
his lost opportunities, just at the time
when Sadie was leaving Paris to re
TURN to London, and had given he
maid instructions to stay in the French
capital. without revealing the fact that
her mistress was not with her.

son, a dark-haired, specialized, self
possessed lady's-maid. clad in a sort
of nurses costume of sober gray, drove
up to the servants entrance of Broad
stone Towers in the village fly with a
couple of small boxes, and peered out
rather curiously at the big rambling
house of which by right she was the
mistress.
