tried to take care of her, you would have hoped that Elizabeth saw with our eyes just as we did I am glad she turned him down, but how did she do it? She is always so afraid of hurting somebody"
 He came here the morning after that dance and asked her to go on country call with him and was dumb founded when she thanked him and said she couldn't go. I didn't know what had happened at the dance and when he began to argue and apologize I left the room. Elizabeth cried so when she told me about it afterward that I don't think I quite understood What did Jim say to herr"
 "A crowd of us was standing with Elizabeth on the side gallery of the clubhouse, cooling of between dances. when Doctor Martin appeared >on the scene with the Howell girl. He very carelessly asked Elizabeth for her dance card and after scratching his name of two places remarked that Miss Howell had just promised him those dances. I didn't hesitate about taking them back, Elizabeth he said, for you know we'll have to dance to- gether for the rest of our lives any way Just then Jack Dunbar leaped of the balcony railing, and with a rather nonchalant air, said: That's good, Doc. You've saved Miss Eliza beth and me from being abominably rude, for we were expecting to go rowing on the lake during those very dances I could have hugged him for 1t, Aunt Martha, and then he went on to tell Doctor Martin that since he had come 2,000 miles to see Eliza beth she had given him permission to take her home in his car and that they would leave early, for he knew just a duck of an inn where they could get supper and he wanted her all to himself for a little while Eliza beth took her cue immediately and they went of together to the boat house"
 What did Jim say?"
 Not word. His face was a study, looked as if something had fattened it out suddenly and I'll wager he didn't enjoy those dances"
 'It takes something like that to make men like Jim realize they love a girl. He has been here repeatedly and telephoned a dozen times, but Elizabeth seems to have turned com pletely against him this time. Here she comes now"

0 UANTITIES of puffs and, curls, u and all sorts of little head v dresses, continue to mark the coiffure of milady of fashion when she prepares to do honor to a state occa- sion, or to dress with dignity. This elaboration in hair dressing is very becoming in the majority of cases. and those women who have once tried 1t realize the charm of it. Only the grand beauty may turn her back upon careful arrangement of the hair and still be as attractive as her artfully- groomed sister who knows the fas- cination of soft curls and smooth puffs.
 Unless one has plenty of time and some one to help out, the natural hair can hardly be arranged in the man ner shown in the illustrations. No matter how generous nature may have been, puffs and curls are, as a rule, pinned on. Mere man may long to believe them growing on the head of her he admires, but wherS r he knowledge dawns on him that they do not, he still confesses to their fascina- tion
 Not everyone can accomplish sue cessful coiffure either simple or com plex. and it is therefore a good plan to decide upon a becoming model, just as one decides upon becoming hat When so much progress has been made, the next step takes one to the hairdressing establishment with

Lumber Yards Eaten Up BY the

Z
FLAMES WERE ROARING
in Ten MInutts After the Fire Was
Discovered, There Was No
Thought Of Saving the
Yards.

CANTON, Mo-, June 16.-The town
of Canton was again visited by dis
astrous fire, and again the Canton
Planning Mill company Is the victim.
The large and excellently equipped
factory of the company was terribly
gutted by the flames and today the
principal building of the plant is in
ashes. The loss is estimated at $780,
900 at the very least, with insurance
Of about 100000
The fire broke out at about o'clock
and in few minutes after the flames
were discovered the fire had obtained
such headway that it was plain that
the efforts of the firemen would only
be valuable in directing their efforts
at saving the adjoining buildings
which also belonged to the company.
Flames found SO much to feed them
in the building that the entire struc-
ture was gutted in a short time. The
Canton fire department rendered
heroic service and it is due to their
efforts that the other buildings were
saved. 1t is estimated that the build
ings which adjoined the planning mill
proper with their contents. all OF
which was saved, were worth $780,
900 to $4,000. At one time the peo-
pie of Canton thought it best to tele-
phone to Quincy or Keokuk for help
but as the fire was burning very rap
idly 1t became plain that the flames
would have done their damage be
fore the departments from the larger
cities had arrived.
The origin of the fire is com
plete mystery and no one seems tc

manner in which the flames began
