"And beads and red blankets, :"
cried Susan.
And then they trooped up the stairs
with much laughter, the irrepressible
Susan bringing up the rear with a
few sharp "yip-yips" and a prolonged
whoop.
A little later the hostess, who
seemed i'll at ease, excused herself on
the plea that the girls might need
her, and followed them to the upper
floor.
1t was not pleasant quarter of an
hour for Horatio, but it finally ended
and he heard the girls coming down.
They wore long wraps and hoods, and
he could not discern the changes they
might have made in their costumes.
Hope you didn't find the wait
long," said Jane.

Susan giggled.
"Susan." cried Jane, warningly.
Horatio took his hat and coat.

Horatio didn't say much during
that brief walk. He was glad the
girls were going to the home of an
old friend-and Western man at
that.
And the very eminent captain of
finance had been their fathers part
ner? He wished to know more about
them.
The colonel and his wife met the
little party at the doorway and gave
them warm greeting.
Don't wait for the girls, my boy, :"
he said to Horatio in his bluff way.

So Horatio hurried down and the
colonel shook hands with him again.

And then Horatio heard a rustic be-

He gave little gasp.

hands again, and tea being announced
by the maid the three girls with much
laughter drew Horatio to the dining
room.
1t was not until they were seated
at the table that Horatio had time
to look at his cousins. His first i'm
preston was that he had never seen
such hair. Jane wore curls that
draped her face, Ann had pulled her
heavy tresses over her forehead and
ears, and Susan-Susan was the
youngest-had the most disordered
couture Horatio thought he had ever
seen. AS far as the faces of the girls
were concerned, he didn't feel quail

He was dimly conscious that the
girls were not tastefully dressed, at

"West of Hoboken?" Ann added.

Horatio stirred himself uneasily.
"Then you don't like New York;"

Then he made a formal acknowl-

hostess, and called a messenger boy.

muttered as the boy turned away.
"Sir?" said the boy.
"Nothing.S replied Horatio.
At 6 o'clock he presented himself
at the substantial home on West
Eighty-siXth street. AS the maid
opened the door he heard a gust of
hastily-checked laughter. The maid
took his card and his hat and coat,
and ushered him into the little re-

No, Horatio had never met them.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Some girls are adorable, and some
merely pompadourable.
Some men rise in the world and
others are merely stilted.
To keep the pot boiling it isn't
necessary to have money to burn.
Many a man who wants the earth
merely succeeds in having mud
thrown at him.
Love may be heaven born, but pla-
tonic affection was the invention of
the devil.
Even the man who is we'll reared
may get to the front.
Wise is the man who is too sharp
to be bore.
All things are more apt to come to
those who don't wait for them.
The man who needs a rest cure
should have thought of that before
he got married.
Almost any one can tell us how we
might have succeeded after we have
failed.
Faith will move mountains, and
sometimes it even puts up bluff.
1t makes fellow hot to think what
a cold, cruel world this is.
Opportunity seldom calls when we
are all dressed and waiting for it.
The best thing about being fail
ure is that you have plenty of COM
pany.

To Wash Syvansdown.

Swansdown can be cleaned in the
following way:
Tack the strips firmly to a piece of
muslin or calico. Make a lather of
soap jelly and water, just hot enough
to bear the hand in comfortably, and
add teaspoonful of liquid ammonia.
Place the swansdown in this, leave it
for a few minutes, souse up and
down, and, without wringing, put it
into another lot of suds prepared in
the same way. If it still looks soiled,
use a third lot of suds, says Home
Chat.
Then rinse in clear water and hang
in the air to dry, giving it an occa-
sional shake. When quite dry rip
it from the muslin and rub the tack
gently between the hands to soften

A Sewing Hint.

IN sewing up seams in very line
material or tucking, difficulty is Of
ten experienced in having the seam
perfectly smooth without any pucker-
ings. If strip of paper, not too stiff
or brittle, be put under the material
as it is placed under the foot of the
machine and stitched, you will find
that a perfectly smooth seam is the
result. The paper is readily removed
without injury to the very sheerest
material that is made. This is es-
pecially good to use when working on
