BARRIE AND HIS T H
A Loving Sons Enduring Monument to
His Dearest Friend.

His Dearest Friend.
J. NJ. Barrie, novelist and playwright
and the most successful of contempt
rary writer's for the stage, has
written a book or a play that Is not a
monument to his mother, a monument
such as the pagan author declared he
had erected for himself, more endur-
Ing than bronze"
Most of the material which Barrie
has woven into his delightful stories of
Scotch life and much of that which
makes his plays so quaint, so individ-
nal and so charming were furnished
him by his mother.
Barrie in that extraordinary and
most intimate Of books, Margaret
Ogflvy," tells how when he had deter
mined to become an author-a decision
that gave his simple mother a tremen-
dous shock, as she had made up her
mind that he should become a minis
ter-he continually called upon his
mother for old stories of his native
town inc its rugged types, which he
embaimed In such classics as "A Win
dow In Thrums." AUD LIGHT IdyIls,"
1.-THE Little Minister and, last and
most vivid Of all. the new Maude Adj
ans play, what Every Woman
Knows"
Besides being chronicles OF what he
is familiar with-the true matter of an
artists handiwork, according to Rus
kin-Barrie's books and plays contain
another feature which Is altogether
peculiar to them. This Is that his dear
old mother appears In them all. The
guise may differ, but this gentle pres
ence Is In everything that this most
devoted of SONS ever wrote. 1t was a
saying In the Barrie household when
the young author had begun to receive
checks for actual money from a Lon
don editor for his stories (and this edi-
tor struck Mrs. Barrie as a most guile
less sort OF creature, even for an Eng
lishman-to be paying good money for
what she considered only an old wo-
mans ~recoilections of the humble deni-
zens of an obscure Scotch town that
margaret Ogilvy Is In 1t again." Mar
garet Ogilvy was the maiden name
of Barrie's mother, and Margaret Ogil-
Wy she remained to her death. Barrie
has said that, try as he would, he
could not keep his mother ont Of his
books and plays. She might appear as
the eiish Babbie in THE Little Minis
ter or as the humorous and shrewd
Maggie Wylfe Of what Every Woman
Knows" but appear she would. and
this persistency of his mother to APP
pear was the cause Of much good ma
tured chatting in the family and a

copy GOOD MODELS.
uss Judgment In the style Of Gown
You Select.

You Select.
While the woman in moderate cir
substances often follows siavishly the
mandates of her dressmaker, the wom-
m of wealth is fortunate m being able
to choose masterpieces, creations with
lines so charming Or unusual and
touches so smart that 1t is utterly i'm
possible to copy them without taking
the original to pieces as a child does
a toy to find out how 1t is made"
Then 1t is doubtful If the ordinary
dressmaker would eve be able to put
them together again.
The best the woman of moderate
means can do who wishes to be mod
ishly clothed with touches of originate
ty about her costumes is to study the
frocks of the fashionable fair, to close
ly scan the pages Of the best fashion
journals and to watch costumes APP
preaching these shown In the smart
shops as models
If unable to purchase these latter,
she may, with the use Of good judg-
ment and a good memory. aided and
abetted by the journals, enable a plain,
everyday dressmaker Of the sort sew
ing at home to evolve a really smart
and becoming gown.
One must, however, always be GER
tain of what Is and what is not likely
to be worn three months after the
gown is made, and as much attention
must be paid to the details as to the
general design and the materials OF
which 1t Ia composed.
1t is curious to note the absence of
judgment In gowning displayed by
many women, and this is seen even in
the most fashionable classes.
The probability is that If this class
were not subservient to the dictates of
designers the results would be no bet
ter than IL other classes, and certain
1t is that, even with all their advan-
tages of ability to compare and to pur-
chase anything within reason and TO
see the fashions at the start. many
curious md ~unbecoming and also dow
dy gowns are found among them.
Not all women are gifted with good
taste, and often a love of the merely
ornamental or the merely useful or
comfortable carried to extremes will
ruin a woman's costume.

lent divine and an uncle of the Writer.
A reply came that Miss Boyd could
not answer the question and gave Miss
Butterworth's address.
Mr.. Simmons cooked up quite an in
genious letter to Miss Butterworth.
After mentioning that he had seAen her
picture and how he came to see 1t he
said that the features were reharka-
bly, like those of the Rev. James But
terworth- his esteemed uncle. and he
was sure that he (Simmons) could
claim her for a relative, probably a.
first cousin. He received a polite reply
that the lady had no such relative and
had never heard of any such person
This was not surprising to Mr.. SIM
mons. whose knowledge Of the rever-
end gentleman was precisely that of
an invention.
The genealogical plan having failed.
Mr.. Simmons wrote again to Miss
Boyd. frankly stating that he would
be interested to meet the original of
the photograph and asking If In the
kindness Of her heart she would sug-
gest a method for the purpose. All
the world loves a lover. and Miss Boyd
gave him a list Of half a dozen friends
OF Miss Butterworth. any Of whom
might introduce him provided they
knew him to be a gentleman
Meanwhile Miss Boyd had put her
friend on to the fact that she had an
unknown admirer, and 1t was Miss
Butterworth who suggested the names
Of the possible introducers. One, and
only one, Of the names was known to
Mr.. Simmons, and he was a member
Of Simmons club. The attentions Mr..
Simmons suddenly began to shower
upon this man were only understood
when a request came for the introduc-
ton.
It was an advantage to Mr.. Sim
mons cause that for several months
Miss Butterworth was cognizant Of the
fact that she had an unknown admir-
er. Her fancy during this time was
feeding on Mr.. Simmons personnel.
Miss Boyd, whose misdirected letter
had led to this possible romance, made
inquiries about Mr.. Simmons, found
friends who knew him and pronounced
him a good man. This Miss Boyd ex-
aggerated into "a noble. good man"
Miss Butterworth. too, was on the
shady side of thirty and not unwilling
to meet her fate. Before the introduc-
ton she had been given Mr.. Simmons
antecedents, his BUSINESS and social
standing by her friend, who asked
permission to do the introducing. All
that remained was to e Mr.. Sim
mons.
When she did see him the impression
was so favorable that the way from
this point was made easy for him. He
proposed to her the evening he met
her, she gave an answer tantamount
to an acceptance. and they were mar
ried in due time.
And now the fancy excited by the
supposed name of Mrs. Simmons who.
after all. has little or nothing I'd do
with this story Is being rapidly kul
filled.

The Misdirected Letter.
BY c. C

Copyright, 1909. by American Press Assoc
ciation-l
Abner Simmons entered his bachelor
apartment after returning from bust
ness, sighed, sat down In an easy chair
and felt very lonely. Presently he
looked up at the mantel, and there
stood a letter. 1t was addressed In a
woman's hand to Mrs. Abner Simmons.
To Mr.. Simmons this address was a
mockery. 1t suggested a home, a
pleasant looking woman tripping down
stairs at hearing her husbands latch
key In the door, followed by a troop of
girls and boys; a connubial kiss and
several pairs of little arms around
papa's neck.
All this Mr.. Simmons saw In the OBJ
long letter addressed to her who was
not. OF course there was a Mrs. Sim
mons for some mar of the same nam
as himself; but, alas, there was no
such person for himl What should be
do with it7 He took it down from the
mantel and examined it closely. A
hand was stamped on it with its fore
finger pointing to TRY this" and 'Try
that" There were SO many of thsse
suggestions ito try" that Mr.. Sim
mons believed the letter had been the
rounds and no Mrs. Simmons found.
How could she be found since she did
not exist7 He determined to make a
dead letter office of himself, open it
and return 1t TO the writer.
Mr.. Simmons took out a letter and q
card photograph. The photograph was
that of a woman from thirty to thirty
five years old, and as he looked it
seemed to be the face of her whose re-
ception of him had filed his fancy.
The letter was signed, Your loving
sister," The address was given, and Mr..
Simmons put 1t in another envelope,
with a brief note stating his motives
in opening 1t and asking for informa-
ton of Mrs. Abner Simmons and how
she happened to exist without his be-
ing any better for her existence. He
wished to keep the photograph, but
did not feel authorized to do 80. He
addressed 1t to the street and number
given IN the letter.
In about a week a reply came. The
writer said the name on the letter was
not Simmons, but Tfmmens. (After all.
there was no Mrs. Simmons.) The pho
tograph was a likeness of Miss Marka-
ret Butterworth. The writer. MISS
Cornelia Boyd. was transmitting 1t ito
Mrs Timmens. The letter concluded
with thanks for the favor Mr.. Sim
mnua had done tho writpr
Just what Mr.. Simmons had said in
his note about the photograph does not
appear. but Miss Boyd must have no
ticed something of admiration and
been ready, as most women are, to
help out a romance, for she was not
called upon to mention the picture, Al9s
she did. Mr.. Simmons wrote a. IN.

Now is the time TO see that all
the farm machinery is sheltered for
the winter. All parts should be
well cleaned and such as are likely TO
rust should he covered with oil or a
good grade Of axle grease
One season without shelter will
damage farm machinery more than
the wear of it during the season
The action of the weather, which
causes rusting of the iron and steel
as well as the rottening of the wood
parts, will seriously interfere with
the working of the machine when it
is again put TO use. By exposure,
many parts are very much weakened
and the life of the macaine 10 short
ened.
As general rule, the prosperity
OF the farmer may be estimated by
way he takes care of his machinery
Poor care indicates shiftless less
waste, lack OF energy, and the nee
essity for buying more implements
in a short time Good care on the
other hand, indicates prosperity
business ability, large bank deposits
and long lived machinery.
