Mrs. Wager laughed and said: Seven teen years is quite little while; we have a daughter IA years old. She is now in the Army with us, and stands right by my ' side in the open air meetings and plays the guitar"
 And won't you tell me how you met each other. and how the romance prog resssed?" I persuaded.
 ''Yes," said Mrs. Wager. 'I had always been interested in the Army work and my mother seemed to have a presenti- ment when I was a child that something unusual would happen to me in which l would leave her. So at the first meetin gs ever attended in Dallas I was very much taken up with the idea of going into the Army. My family opposed 1t. and when I wanted to begin active work they wouldn' buy me any Army clothes. In the mean time MT Wager came to our town and began his work. And let me tell you something, I believe ours was case of | love at first sight. The minute I saw | him I felt like he was mine. And when | he visited my home with others I always | felt he was the one and on1y one"
 And how long did you know each other before you were engaged?' I queried. They both smiled at this questlr>- s@'i MT. Wager, taking up the thread of the romance, said: T fought against it for a long time feeling that it was not the best thing for either of us. But finally I was called away and before I left I had gained the young lady's consent to write to her.
 And then did you take up the Army work right away?" I asked
 Mrs. Wager said: "Yes I went to To- peka, Kan, and began my training as an officer Two years later MT. Wager and were married and"
 Have lived happily ever afterwards. as
 the story books say" I interposed. All the world loves a lover, in the Salvation Army as well as out of it--but the world is also interested in your work. too-so now, won't you tell me about that?' continued.
 "Our work" said MT. Yager, "has suf-
 fered greatly from the financial distresses of the country of late months. It has
 been awfully hard to keep things going.
 But we have been blessed with good re- sults-and we are still hard at york;

 A great many girls believe themselves in love, but the fancy loses its inten- sity as they mix in society. Love is put off to the last moment. Ut is bound to come some time," Is the fre- quent remark. But love Is not always so self-assertive It will drop and wither up for want of proper nourishment and true sympathy.
 That love begets love is an old prov erb that in the light of twentieth cen tury civilization is apt to be contested. Yet true, real. earnest, devout love sell dom lacks reciprocity.
 Fancy may turn to love. but never love to fancy. The one Is like the shad ow upon the surface of the water, the other is treasured deeply beneath

Paper From Ribbon Bolt.

why do I keep that paper?" said a mother, as she carefully picked up the narrow strip from the bolt of ribbon she had just used q always roll it up and guess? Well, it is this: have found in making the children's thin summer dresses that it is quite impossible to stitch them satisfactorily unless I slip paper under the material as l work It takes time to cut the strips of paper. Whenever l get a bolt of ribbon I make it practice of rolling up the paper and putting it in one of the machine drawers. Then 1t is ready for instant use when occasion demands. Laugh, if you want. but know it has saved me steps in time past, and, after all, why isn't the idea good one?' she queried, looking up from her task

Eve Up-to-Date.

One of the newest fancies for the summer season is the all-over soutache braid for yoke and sleeves.
 Princess tunics are very much worn mostly with the opening at the side and buttoning nearly to the hem.
 Among the most modish slippers worn is the old-fashioned toe slipper with gold or silver buckle.
 Linen Dutch collars with two rows of Cluny lace, and an edge of the same are among the fashions for neckwear.
 Gowns of heavy cotton net embroid- cred in crude alarming stitch are to be worn this season not only in white but colors.
 The skirts are straighter and narrower as the summer advances.
 Many of the new blouses are tucked all over bodice and sleeves alike.
 One of the favorite flowers for summer garniture on hats Is the carnation.
 Bib effects are seen on the up-to-date

The Newest Skirt.

It is impossible to exaggerate the value from a dress point of view, of the clever cut of skirt, said fashionable couturiere. recently Some of those which appear on models from Vienna and Paris are so arranged as to fit closely on the hips, yet without the smallest suggestion of tightness. Immediately below this point the fulness begins to form itself in the narrowest possible plats, which widen naturally and gradually toward the foot of the skirt
 It is difficult even to describe the per- feet effect of this clever cutting, but per haps some little hint may be gathered from the fact that there Is a seam down the front, while at the back tho sell

Shortcake for Breakfast.

Until I spent six months in New Eng land I always regarded shortcake, what ever the fruit used, as a dish for dinner, a dessert" said a woman recently But in Vermont they frequently serve a de- 1icious shortcake, the genuine kind, made with shortbread, not cake, for breakfast Sometimes strawberries or raspberries were used, then in season peaches.
 Having assimilated the new idea found myself beginning to look for a de- licious wedge of shortcake In the morn ing and to miss it when it was not forth coming"

"Lady Perfect Manners.

Lady Diana Manners, who has just made her bow to London society, has made so favorable an impression by her unaffected charm that she has become known as Lady Perfect Manners" It is a pretty compliment. The girl is the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland. She is tall, with 1.-the figure still showing some of the awkwardness of youth. She has been described as mo beauty, but having a bright, pleasant face and more than her share of brains and accomplishments" She is heiress to one of the largest fortunes in England, so that nothing seems lacking to make her satisfied with life.

Why do fat women indulge in green hats and motor veils for county touring and choose for the automobile ulster a large and vivid plaid?

 Jet buttons are so much in favor that they are seen on many of the white and colored suits.
 The elbow sleeve is seldom seen except on evening gowns, and not very often on those.
 Fllet net embroidery Is used for guimps and they are dyed often to match the gown which is quite effective. Cotton voiles are made up into very attractive models sand are elaborate enough to wear to the most fashionable functions.
 Mantles of soft taffetas or messaline with long ends and trimmed with fringe and tassels are la grande mode.
 
 Double motor veils of different colors joined only at the edges are very much in favor with modishes.
 
 Chiffon cloth is one of the most popular of summer fabrics and with the entire deux of handsome lace, nothing makes up half so pretty.

Washington, May 12.-President Taft
today sent to congress a special mes
sage recommending legislation at the
present extra session. amending the
Foraker act under which Porto Rico
is governed. The president directs the
attention of congress to affairs on the
island laying particular stress on what
he terms "a situation of unusual
gravity" developed through the fail
ure Of the executive assembly Of Porto
Rico to pass the usual appropriation
bills, leaving the island without sup
port after June 80, next.
Porto Ricans have forgotten the gen
erosity Of the United States, the presi-
lent says, in the desire of certain of
the islands political leaders for power
and he adds that the present situation
indicates that the United States has
gone too far In the extension OF po-
litical power to the Porto Ricans. He
concludes that the absolute power of
appropriation should be taken away
from those who have shown them
selves too irresponsible to enjoy It."
He says too great power has been
vested In the delegates. He points out
that there W was a time in the
history of the island when the average
prosperity of the Porto Rican has been
higher, his opportunity greater, his
liberty in thought and action more Sc
Fol the first time in Its history,
Porto Rico, he says, is living under
laws enacted by it's own legislature.

thought crept into his mind.

from behind the counter.
Before the astonished customer real
lied what the remedy was to be Mr..
Rutledge, according to his confession

around her waist, gave her a rousing
hug, and at the same time planted q
bear-soul kiss upon her cherry lips.

In the cell adjoining Mrs. Boyle there
