turbed the peace, and two OF
more fistic encounters took place
and a number were brought be.

we're fined $3.50 each, viz: E. K

For a young girls use there is M
stationery more suitable than the
fabric finished surfaced French dim

stone blue square sheets of CORE,
spondence and hasty note size. with
envelopes of matching dimensions. OF
an equally refined and dainty char
acter are the linen lawn papers in
solid tints of aeroplane. dawn pink,
Baltic blue, willow green, orchid and
cream-the hemstitched fabric cross

shade of color, and the diagonally
striped fabric in two tones of mauve,
blue or buff
fad of the hour, and one permits
sible only as a joke when a note
passes between two very intimate
young girls, is the red-edged, tan-col-
ored "Chanticler" paper, which has
a Growing rooster embossed at the
top Of each sheet
Lawnette correspondence cards for
acceptance and regrets are accom-
panied by envelopes having semi
elliptical or triangular flaps on which
a monogram or initial may be en-
graved. This stationery comes in a
variety of pale tints, Of which buff,
pale gray, gray-blue or whit are pref
test.
Luncheon place cards matching the
shades and patterns of the French

ished stationery are exceedingly smart
and in eminently good taste, as are
also cards Of umbrella shape bearing
hand painted violets. daisies and GRO
cuses and in cut out flower and fig
ure designs.

"Mr. Gormly," began Miss Haldane,
I have not seen you for some time"
Not for two months and eleven
days, Miss Haldane," answered CORN

"Gracious!" exclaimed the astonish-
ed girl. How pat you have the time!
Do you keep a calendar Of my visits
to your Officer"

tails which wish to remember" said
the man.
And l am so much interested in
the settlement house that-How does
it progress, by the way?" he contin-
ued, gravely as II his recollection Of
anything connected with her was a
mere matter Of course.
"Oh, beautifully. You see, there is
nothing to consult you about now. 1t
is all In the architects and builders
hands. You have been so helpful to

And you have, of course. respected

Not even your father?"
Certainly not. never discuss bust
ness with my father, nor does he
discuss business with me-"
And yet" said Gormly quickly. 81
should think he might discuss bust
ness with you to advantage"
What do you mean?" asked the
girl.
'I am a business man, Miss Haldane
accustomed to deal with men ant
women in a business way, and mucl
depends upon my ability to estimate
the capacity Of those with whom
work. have not often seen woman
or even a man, with better head TO
business than you have"
1t was the deftest thing the mai
could have said to her. Women, sh
knew, were not naturally business
like, and to have such qualities al
tributed to her was the subtlest kin
of fiattery. 1t came, too, from a maj
who was q power In the bushes

The Waist Line.

Though the waist line is less YER
satlle than 1t used to be, and is more
and more inclined to assume the con-
ventional position. the empire effect
is still to be seen. For reception and
dancing gowns 1t is graceful, and tho
soft outline 1t gives to the figure is
delightfully."- picturesque. But for the
street all this is out of place; it gives
the wearer a silhouette that is I'M
tidy, and suggests a looseness that is
altogether Objectionable. In regard
also to evening gowns the same fault
may be found. So long as a toilette
is to be worn chiefly while walking or
standing. the short waist is permissi,
ble-even desirable-but for a din.
ner concert or theater it is no longer
so. The bust unconfined falls out oil
shape, and the figure cut is most un.
attractive-and it is the realization OK
this fact that has led to so many Of
the newest evening bodices being
made with swathed draperies and
close fitting lines.

No More Room.
TO BE CoNTINUED.'

The elevator slipped rapidly by one
floor after another, while many in
mates of large office building rang
the bell and demanded to be carried
to the street. 1t was the noon hour
and every one at the elevator shaft
was anxious to get luncheon.
The elevator seemed to be only half
filled Actually there were three girls
and a man in it who had got on at the
fifteenth floor.
FILLED up" shouted the operator,
as he sped by the angry crowd at the
door.
Finally he reached a floor where
one of the officers Of the company had
his office, and the man was there and
wanted to go down. He shouted to
him, Filled up" and the man SAID
something positive.
Then the operator added:
