Daniel Delavan sat on thu edge of
his bed and clicked his heels in mo-
notonous rhythm. Beside him on the
Counterpart there curled three one
dollar bills. The wavy mirror above
the bureau reflected a handsome face
with worried lines around eyes and
lips. At last he sighed heavily.
'It's the diviPs own luck" he NUT
tered bitterly, with a contemptuous
glance toward the money on the bed
"Tomorrow's the 18th of March and
Nellie's birthday. and me with nothing
but a measly three bucks for her gift
when was planning to get that ring
with the fine green stone and ask her
What's the use?"
He bumped his broad shoulders
more disconsolately as he retolleated
how he had so carefully planned
months ago to buy the emerald ring
for pretty Nellie Burns, who might be
persuaded to wear it in token of their
engagement, provided she gave him
favorable answer to the question that
trembled on his lips.
He had selected the ring last Octo,
Der in a jewelry store and paid
small deposit on it, but shortly after
ward there had come an appeal for
help from relative i'll the old e0un-
try, and a goodly share of Daniels
wages had gone across the water to
ease the last days of the aged uncle
and finally to furnish decent burial
when the days were numbered.
"She must have something for the
day." decided Daniel, recovering his
usual buoyancy, "if it's only box of
candy or the biggest pot of shamrock
1 can find, and maybe the one or the
other will open the way to say what's
got to be said, ring or no ring"

coat and left the boarding house de-
termined to seek the lower part Of the
city, where in the vicinity of the big

POINTERS ON The
NEWEST DRESSES
Charming Creations for After.
noon and Evening

New York, March 21.-Many of the
newest dresses, though made to cling
gracefully to the figure have no waist
line, The material, mostly crepe de
Chine or charmeuse, is simply draped
over the bodice, with the sleeves cut in
one, and falls to the knees in a tunic
effect, with turn-back points over a
foundation which is simple, straight
and fairly narrow in width
These dresses show very little trim
ming.
"A softening line of lace usually fin
ishes the collarless neck, while tho
sleeves, which finish at the elbows, are
elaborated on the cuffs with some
quaint hand embroidery in delicate
colorings. There are no bands, belts
or folds to outline the waist-curves;
the material simply falls to the figure.
A dress built on these lines requires
an expert in draping before it can be Il
success. There is, however, something
particularly fascinating about these
new gowns, with their long flowing
lines and graceful draperies, for, al
though the slim silhouette is still in
sisted upon, the severity of the straight
up and down styles to which we have
grown accustomed will be varied by
the clever introduction of many an in
cidental fold and pleat.

warehouse where he worked as ship
ping clerk there was a florist who Of
fered tempting bargains.
1t was down on Fourth avenue that
he saw the auctioneer'S flag futtering
in the doorway of an antique shop.
The window showed an array of brass
and copper work, oriental goods of ev-
cry description, among which were
several delicate fans with sticks of
carved ivory. One of these beauties
might be purchased with the So, and
Nellie could carry the dainty toy to the
ball on st. Patrick's night. He decided
to ask the auctioneer to put up the
one with green silken cord and tassels
To Daniels dismay the price on the
fan went up and up. Several keen
faced men who examined the fan with
knowing eyes contemptuously overbid
the young Irishman's SO, and at last it
was sold for SIS.
He turned away, disappointed, and
was Glowing his way toward the door
when the words of the auctioneer
brought him to Il stop. His imagination
was fired and his soul was filed with
a riot of speculation.
Ladies and gentlemen" vociferated
the auctioneer, Il now offer you a Won
derful bargain. You see before you
what? A little battered vessel of brass
so covered with verdigris that 1t is as
green as the fellow who misses buying
this bargain at his own price! What is
1t? A lamp, an ancient brass lamp
see. here is the place for the wick
which was found in junkshop in the
city of Bagdad. Turkey. You all re-
member the story of Aladdin and his
wonderful lamp? Well. this is said to
he the veritable lamp of Aladdin" He
beamed down upon the skeptical up
turned faces Of the crowd
mo. sir This is not gravy boat.
It is nothing less than the lamp OF
Aladdin. and whatsoever rubs it hard
will be attended by those-those mys-
teal beings who granted every wish
that young Aladdin desired.
"Why don't you rub it yourself?" in
Yuired one skeptic.
The auctioneer grinned impudently
1.-THE reason don't summon the spirit
Of this lamp is because I'm afraid
he'll realize the value Of the bargain
and run off with it as well as the
whole shop. Now, gentlemen, who
will give me a bid on Aladdin's lamp"
1t went up to 80 cents and stayed
there while the auctioneer delivered
another long argument concerning the
value Of the ancient lamp. The story
Of Aladdin was repeated to Daniels
