No More Room.

The elevator slipped rapidly by Yne
floor after another, while many ~
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 kalf
filed. 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 crSwd at the
door.
Finally he reached floor where
one of the officers of the company lad
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:
FILLED UP with hats"

CHAPTER IiI.-Continued.

He had never seen her except in the
quiet conventionality of street dress.
He had imagined her in all sorts Of
guises. When she burst upon him
that way however, the sight dazzled
him. 1t was so far beyond any dream
- had ever INDUCED that he could
scarcely comprehend 1t. He stopped
and stared at her. For once his iron
control deserted him. There was that
frank, open admiration in his glance
of which no one could mistake the
meaning.

said Gormly; II have never seen you
in all evening gown. and confess my
imagination unequal to-"
do you like it?" said the girl nerv-
susly.
y am scarcely conscious of it, Miss
Haidane." he returned directly. II see

How singularly unobservant," she
said lightly. recovering her equipoise,
''for man whose business it is to buy

them"

world. 1t is on the other side of the

His speech was broken by the en-
trance of Mrs. Haldane and Miss Stew
art. The latter was a fragile, grace
hui. charming girl. who would have
attracted instant attention and notice
anywhere, except beside her regal
companion and friend. Mrs. Haldane
was a not unworthy complement to
ne other two. These two also were
wearing elaborate dinner gowns.
At this moment Haldane. followed
~ the two other men. came in from

Exactly. Meanwhile, l scarcely
know what to do. Could you send

II should be glad to do so, did pos

lieve, and-but can send man over

II hardly think that would be pos

should not like to be responsible for
any man on foot in such a storm as
this"
"I'll go myself" said Gormly quick
ly.
you, Mr.. Gormly!" exclaimed Mrs.
Haldane. why, we couldn't think Of
such thing. The DANGER"
Madam, have been afoot in worse
storms than this" he answered, when
J l was mere boy in the far west"
1t was the first intimation anybody
from New York had had as to any
period of Gormly's life outside of New
York, and one Of the company at least
pricked up his ears at this remark
and listened attentively.
I'VE couldn't think of allowing you
to do so,' said Miss Haldane.
Il suppose that pair you have could
hardly take us over?" questioned Liv-
ingstone Haldane.
Il am afraid not" answered Gormly.
"They have been driven rather hard
today, and they are a light pair at
best, as you notice."
well, we are thrust upon you, then,
marooned as 1t WERE"
Il hope you won't find my house the
typical desert island" answered Corn
ly, smiling. Indeed, l scarcely know
what the resources of the establish
f, ment are, having entered into posses
sion only today; but whatever they
are. they are at your service"
There's no help for it, l suppose"
answered Haldane somewhat gloomi-
ly. II guess you will have to keep US
until morning."
Think how happy you make a lone
ly old bachelor" returned Gormly, "by
being his Christmas guests. And If
you will accept this situation, as in
deed fear you must, l shall make ar
engagements SO that you can be taken
to your own place on Christmas morn
ing. Let me consult my butler, who
was Mr.. Goodrich's major domo before
! bought the place. and see what can
be DONE"
A brief conversation with that func-
tionary threw some little cheer over
the situation. Gormly's own ward
robe. which had been sent down,
would amply supply the men with
whatever they needed, and the butler
impaired the cheering news that the
lodgekeeper was married man with
two grown daughters, and he had no
doubt that such things as the women
i required might be secured from them
Send at once" said Gormly quick.

Picture Gown.

On every side one sees the revival
of picture frocks that are most suit
able for young girls and even for GER
tain types of older women. That
quaint old color known as forget-me-
not blue is again in fashion and is
used for such gowns as well as floral
taffeta which has sea .ered bouquets
over the surface or single flowers.
One gown made Of the former fab
ric had short skirt, was high-waist-
ed and was draped with eyelet en-
broidered batiste in strong ivory
tone. Yards of fringed ruching made
of the taffeta was used as trimming.
and the drapery of the top of the tunic
was held in at the left side Of the
waist with a bunch Of forget-me-nots
made Of blue velvet.

Suit Styles in Favor.

Buyers now in the market are show
ing their confidence in suits made
with a 20 of 30-inch coat, says the Dry
goods Economist, although a few long
er and some shorter lengths are being
ordered by merchants who carry
large stocks and who have to cater to
all classes of trade. While a large
business Is being done in coats that
are cut of at the waistline and have a
fitted skirt or peplum attached. as well
as coats that show some odd cutting
Of the seams, there is also a big call
for the straight seml-itted or seven
eighths fitted coat, particularly In the
medium and popular-priced goods.

silk, In serses and Taffetas.

For tailored suits that will also b.
used for slightly dressy occasion
nothing could be better than silk
serge. It is more difficult to handle
in making up, but. then the result is
worth any extra trouble.
Striped and changeable effects also
come in this line of goods.
Besides something new in serge. the
new taffeta deserves mention. With
the craze for soft, sweeping lines. taf-
feta proved too harsh a material.
Now the chiffon taffcta has taken it's
place, possessing all the luster of the
old material without its brittleness,
and allowing itself to be draped into
soft folds like chiffon.

Miss Hadane Is Charmed and Charm
"Mr. Gormly," began Miss Haldane,
I have not seen you for some time"
"Not for two months and eleven
days, Miss IIaldane," answered CORN
ly quietly.
"Gracious!" exclaimed the astonish-
ed girl. How pat you have the time!
Do you keep a calendar of my visits
to your Officer"
II have marvellous memory for de-
tails which l 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 If his recollection of
anything connected with her was q
mere matter of course.
ooh, beautifully You see, there is
nothing to consult you about now. It
is all in the architects and builders
hands. you have been so helpful to

"And you have, of course, respected

thing about my connection with the
enterprise?"

mot even your father?"
Certainly not. never discuss bust
ness with my father, nor does he
discuss business with me-"
And yet" said Gormly quickly, Il
should think he might discuss bust
ness with you to advantage"
What do you meah?" asked tho
girl
Il am business man, Miss Haldane,
accustomed to deal with men and
women in a business way, and much
depends upon my ability to estimate
the capacity of those with whom

or even q man, with better head for
business than you have"
It was the deftest thing the man
could have said to her. Women, she
knew, were not naturally business
like, and to have such qualities at
tributed to her was the subtlest kind
of hattery. It came, too, from a man
who was q power in the business
world, and was therefore the more
! valuable.

Plenty of them. sir, and all ready

'Well, see that they are prepared.
and have Mrs. Bullen here immediate
IT,"
As the butler went OF to attend to
these orders, Gormly re-entered the
room and found the whole party COM
fortably gathered about the fire. He
explained that he had found q wom-
an on the place. the lodgekeeper's
wife; that he had sent the station
wagon for her; and that she would be
present doubtless within a half hour
with such indispensable articles Of at
tire as might serve to make the wom-
en- guests at least comfortable.
IF you were only in communication
with your shop, Mr. Gormly," said Mrs.
Haldane-and whether she meant to
be offensive or not Gormly could not
tell-"we would lack nothing"
II am sorry for your sake, madam,
that am not. AS it is, we shall have
to do our best with the limited re-
sources at hand"
Conversation ran on desultorily this
way for short time, when the butler
announced the arrival of Mrs. Bullen.
AS he did so the tall clock unsteady
chimed out the hour OF nine.
Nov that your woman Is here, Mr..
Gormly," said Mrs. Haldane, rising,
"as l am somewhat fatigued from the
ride and the experience, shall retire
to my room. l suppose you young
people won't think Of going to bed
at this unearthly hour?"
mo, indeed" answered Miss Stew
art. II think I'll stay awake until
Christmas"
"Will you 60, Beekman?" said Mrs.
Haldane, addressing her husband.
"Why-er- my dear"

II don't play" said Gormly quickly.
I'll stay out Also" said Eleanor. Il
don't care much for bridge at best"
Good night" said Mrs. Haldane,
moving away, escorted by the butler,
and met outside presently by Mrs.
Bullen.
"Mr Gormly and I will watch your
game" said Eleanor.
'By the way, Eleanor, may 1 ask
where you met Mr.. Gormly?" Queried
her father.
HE. is very much interested in our
social settlement work Many of his
employees live in the vicinity of the
new settlement house we are building,
and l have had occasion to consult
him at his Office great many times"
"Ah," said the elder man reflective

before it in which she sat down. He
himself stood with his arm resting on

The two we're in plain sight from

ow tones their conversation was in
audible in the hall. Haldane glanced
and uneasily at them from

absorbed in his game, paid them no

Novelty for Summer Wear.

White cotton marquisette, yellow
wool, coarse linen lace\and white por-
celain beads, have been combined to
produce a novel parasol with bag to

loops of the wool, on each one of
which is strung white bead, and en-
broidered with few large yellow
wool flowers and long yellow wool
cord to carry it by.

The woman of refined taste is en-

fine hair stripe, in black and white,
or in any color with white. These
lawns trimmed with the English eye

amount Of the embroidery can be used,
the amount can be regulated by the
amount of money one can afford to
spend. The band around the skirt is
sufficient to make the frock look

lions justified. These warnings were
successful Particular attention was
given to the hurricanes Of September
and October, 1910, and a number Of
testimonials commencing the work Of
the bureau in connection Herewith
were received. The warnings of the
approach Of cold waves resulted In the
saving OF growing crops and prevent
ed injury to many shipments of per-
ishable goods and TO farm stock
Owing to a. large deficiency in the

siderable portion Of the country, there
was an absence of great foods, except
