THE HEART OF LITTLE BOB.

It was late one summer afternoon,
but the sun was shining golden after
two days of clouds. For day and
night the rain had fallen in torrents,
the creek near the Carter home was
nearly over its banks, and the roads
were very muddy.
Nevertheless little Bob Carter had
to go on an errand for his mother,
nearly two miles down the pike road
to his aunt's. They always went the
shortcut through the meadows, and
that way it was less than mile; but
on account of the recent rains Bob
must take the pike this time.
Now, about mile from his home,
and just off the pike little ways
lived an old woman all alone in tiny
cottage on the banks of the creek.
She was always cross, Bob thought,
for when he came near her she would
shake her cane; and he would hurry
past. When he and his sister Nell
went to school, they would always
run past her house very quickly, for
they were afraid of her.
Now, little Bob didn't even know
her name, for his father had moved
to- this farm only short time before
from another State.
Her house was the only one be-
tween his own home and his aunt's,
and this afternoon when little Bob
came in sight of it, he saw her long
way off waving her cane in the air.
He started to turn and run back
home, for he was very much fright
ened. Then he remembered mother
wanted that cough syrup for Baby
Ruth, so he said to himself, Robert
Carter, you're ten years old, and you
ought to be ashamed to be fraid-
cat"
So he marched bravely on, and as
he got nearer he could hear the old
lady screaming and saw her cane wav-
ing in the air. He was more scared
than ever, but he went on. Then
he saw that the waters of the creek
had got up within few inches of her
door, and she was calling: Bobby
Carter, Bobby Carter, run and tell
your uncle to come, or I shall be
drowned"
Now the heart Of little Bob was
good, and he was bright child, so
he called back: Don't be afraid;
I'll run quick and tell him."
Then he ran as fast as his legs

in it she would have been drowned.
She said that Bobby Carter saved her
life.
Mother Morris was a very fine old
lady. but little queer because she
liked to live alone, and always shook
her cane at people when she wanted
to talk with them and be friendly.
She had son, who was rich farm
er, and when he came to take her to
his beautiful home, he gave little Bob
a handsome pony all for his very own.
Everybody said that the heart of
little Bob was good and kind, and
that he was q brave boy.-Jeanette,

It cannot be said that the use Of
machinery in laundries has been re-
garded by the general public as al
unmiXed blessing. We believe, how
ever, that very much of the ill-feel.

to the machinery, but to the careless
use of it, and probably also very
largely to the use of the strong chem

CHANGE IN WoMENs DRESS.

CHANGE IN WoMEN'S DRESS.
Now that the custom has become
at least prevalent, If not yet popular
In this country, Of the restaurant,
dinner and theatre gown being worn
low, quite marked change has taken
place in woman's dress. The elabo-
rate high gown is now not nearly SO
smart as the gown cut v shape or
square in the neck and made with
elbow sleeves.
Many years ago the same style was
called the correct dinner gown. Cut
square or v shape, but never really
low, elbow sleeves, close fitting, were
then the fashion also. OF late years
the dinner gown has meant gown
cut on the same lines as ball gown,
and indeed 1t has been difficult task
to tell which it was.
These same gowns are often to be
seen in public restaurants and at the
theatre, but conservative taste con-
tends that they are inappropriate anu
that the dinner gown of to-day ap-
parently more simple. but every bit
as expensive, If it is desired to have 1t
SO, is far smarter and, If worn with
hat, is much more becoming.
1t must surely be conceded, even
by the lovers of the picturesque in
dress, that ball gown and picture
hat are so incongruous as to produce
most unfavorable impression. A
square cut or v shape cut waist is,
on the contrary, becoming, and the
hat worn with 1t does not seem in
appropriate, in truth. II the hat be
well chosen this style of dress is be-
coming to almost any woman.-New

ALMOST sTRAIGHT HAIR.

1t is interesting toiwatch the grad
ual return to the simple coiffure. TheE
mass of puffs, the ornamental pompa-e
dour and the wide bandeaux over the
ears have modified in an agreeable
manner. 4.
Many of the most fashionable I
women constantly appear with their
hair most simply dressed. The tight
Marcel wave is entirely out Of FASH
ion. The woman who cares about
proper hair dressing wears only two
heavy, deep waves around the entire
head.
The pompadour has been fat for
some time, but now it is well lifted
off the forehead. The fashion OF
bringing the hair down to the eye
brows Is considered in poor taste.
Tie hair is brushed back from
ears and temples. When one has an
extra high forehead little fringe is
worn, or the centre hair is brought
down to a slight point across the
forehead.
The immense rat worn around the
back of the head and ears is not in
fashion or in good taste, although IT
is still worn by extremists. A small
rat has to be worn on many headsf
or the hat would slip down over the
face. This is put across the back an
inch or two up from the nape OF the
neck in order that 1t may support
the loose Psychic knot.
Wherever women are foregathered
socially the best dressed ones adopt
the simple coiffure. The hair shines
with 6. soft lustre, the ondule is deep
and natural looking, the temples are
exposed and the Psyche knot is small.
Those who can stand the coiffure
parted in the centre with hair drawn
back to a single knot, la Langtry,
should adopt it.-Philadelphia Led
