win the editor of the ST. Adams
Messenger be fair enough to himself,
his readers and the pupils in the
State Industrial School to visit that
institution before he writes further
about it? He is doing incalculable
injury to a most worthy school
through ignorance. Come down and
learn the actual facts or please do
not write.-St. Adams Messenger.
1t strikes us that this invitation to
the editor of the st. Adams Messen-
ger to make personal investigation
of the Vergennes institution is rather
ill-advised. Should he follow out the
suggestion Of the ancient city news
paper he would probably return to his
desk more thoroughly than ever con-
vinced that Vergennes is not the
place to consign children merely be-
cause they unfortunately do not poss-
ess any parents. All the wisdom and
executive ability in the world cannot
make the institution on Otter. Greek
anything but a reform school," and
the contention of the Messenger that
orphans should not be treated as
criminals will hold good until refut-
ed by some better argument than
the exhibition of pique produced by
tho Vermonter.

she left the little home town, she had
thought the waist extremely lovely and
fit for very nice occasions. Since COM
ing to Thompson's she had worn it ev-
cry Sunday and realized it's inefficiency.
Bitter. thoughts assailed her now.
Dress is the thing that counts after
ALL" she reflected. Men may talk for
ever about beauty unadorned,' but the
sentiment Is hopelessly out of date.
Men try to persuade themselves they
prefer naturalness and simplicity in
women, but there isn't n who Is proof
against the charm of handsome fabrics
and stylish curves"
Perhaps this definite conclusion came
just at that moment because Ellen
caught sight Of Harvey Randall's head
bent toward Miss Franklin, at the mex
table. The latter was stunning today
in white and black. Her dark hair was
dressed high with a velvet bow. Ran
dali seemed very intent. Yes. he was
susceptible!
Even he! Ellen bit her lip and lost
all interest in frtcasseed chicken. Some
how h had thought him superior to
sup~erficialities. h remembered with
a certain scorn the long talks she and
he had enjoyed-talks on the serious
things Of life. Her lip curled. He's

But she avoided meeting Randall's
eyes.
They were all talking of the coming
dance. It was to be a gala occasion.

BY ANGELA

Copyright. 1902. by w. r. Hearst.)
Sunday dinner at Mrs. Thompson's
was always more or less Of an event.
Perhaps 1t vas because the boarders
appeared in their best apparel on that
occasion.
Feminine finery was especially In evil
dence. Dainty fancy waists and becom-
ing hair bows gave an air of festivity
which mere week day dining never
called forth.
Yet the feminine element of the
Thompson boarding house always
dressed prettily and lastly even for
'"every day."
The majority of the girls worked for
a small living. Some were stenograph-
ers. Others stood patiently behind
counters and dealt daily with all sorts
and conditions of customers. Yet, de
spite the fact of small hard earned sal
aries, all of them seemed to have
caught the fever for stylish dressing
that most prevalent n contagious dis
ease of America.
On one particular Sunday there was
an unusual display of smartness and
prettiness.
From the quiet corner table Ellen
Hyatt saw 1t all, and the dissatisfac-
ton which for weeks she had been sue
,~cessfully combating swept upon her all
at once.
Ellen had natural charms, which few
of the girls could boast. Yet she was
painfully conscious that among them
she made no show.
Her little blue silk waist-the only
best me-" she possessed-paled into
disheartening insignifcance beside
those others. Two months ago, when

ing, June IS, at II a. m. To the keen
disappointment of a large group of
newspaper correspondents, Mr.. Roose-
welt absolutely refused, as heretofore,
to be interviewed or to talk on politi-
cal subjects, but his rapid fire of ques-
lions showed the same virile interest
In public affairs as before.
If the welcome rendered by the
vast throng may be considered a
criterion upon which to base a Gre
turn from Elba," surely there was no
discordant note in the immense recep-
t~ion-parade, nor in the wildly clamor.
Gus crowd which cheercd at every
glimpse and hung on his very word.
The incidents of the day in New
York were many, but perhaps none
better illustrated the v energy
and vitality of the man, the near-mania
to be up-and-doing, which he has
brought back to us, than the discard
ing Of horses and carriages for the
swifter and more reliable automobiles.

Discussions went on as to renting the
hall and securing music. Everybody
must TAX an interest.
Ellen tried, but failed dismally. She
overheard Miss Franklin and Miss
Brown planning dresses for the occa-
sion. Fancy waists are no longer &C
ceptable for very dressy occasions" re-
marked the latter. II shall have a new
gown"
Ellen gasped inwardly. How was she
to meet this emergency? A desperate
resolve came to her.
Upstairs in her room she sat holding
a roll of bills. 1t was the money she
had been saving for a purpose. Oh,
how determined she had been to carry
out that purpose! How the thought
Of it had thrilled and energized her
every effort.
But that was in the days when it had
seemed to her that the most joyous
privilege i'm life was the ability to earn
money and help ones family.
Now-what was 1t that seemed most
worth while? The face of Randall
came before her and she knew that she
blushed.
Il must have something ~pretty-some-
thing exceedingly becoming-to wear at
the dance" her heart declared.
In vain did an inner voice protest that
the love of q man who cared for ex-
ternals was not worth having, and that
she should not care to win it. She
realized that she did care; very, very
much.

the king was to a slept, for the dusky
followers OF the royal visitor. The blunder
caused great CONSERVATION among the
fearful courtiers, until the matter was eX-
planned to the management and duly recti-
fled.
1t Is a traditionary etiquette custom In
the Marlborough family for each duke to
present a Blenheim spaniel to the duchess
when she enters Blenheim palace for the
first time as its mistress. The story from
which this custom has it's origin is hat
during the battle of Blenheim a spaniel
followed at the heels of the great duke
throughout the day, never leaving him I'M
til victory was assured.

deserted. the inhabitants swarming to thu

The Lost Chords.

The village concert was to be a
great affair. They had the singers,
they had the program sellers, they
had the doorkeepers and they would
doubtless have the audience. All they
needed was the piano, but that they
lacked. Nor could they procure one
anywhere.
At last the village organist learned
that n was possessed by Farmer
Hayseed, who lived lat the top O. the

men and a van.

time. Ellen seemed to see as never be-
fore how like iron must be the will that
successfully resists distraction from its
n great purpose.
But at last she put the money back.
II can do without the dress" she said.
During the days that followed she
listened with unruffled serenity to the
plans of h others for new frills and
furbelows. She had made her decision.
On the night of the dance she dressed
calmly in the oft-worn blue waist and
black skirt.
Someone knocked on the door as she
was adding the finishing touches. The
boy handed her a florists box. Flush
ing with expectation she opened it.
Such exquisite white roses! And the
card-Randall's!
h was the most radiant of all that
night. Randall claimed many dances.
On the way home he said: You were
the loveliest girl in the room. Nc n
compared with you. And l vas so glad
you wore that blue waist!'
"Glad?" gasped Ellen.
Yes, very glad. You see, I've ac-
quired a sort of affection for it. I like
it better than most affairs of that sort.
You had 1t on when 1 first saw you,
and I-have liked it ever since"
AS for the other things that Randall
said, Ellen can tell o best about
them. AS Mrs. Harvey Randall she
now has a sufficiency of pretty clothes.
But the blue waist she still cherishes
as one Of her most precious treasures.
