the frock for inspiration had come
suddenly and she could scarcely con-
tain herself until she reached her den.
She glanced out at the rambling old
house in the next garden; It had been
vacant so long that the windows we're
almost hidden behind the unkept
vines, A desultory litigation had hung
over it's stately premises so long that
Delicla had decided to make use OF
the privacy It afforded
Consequently, Delicia carried her
writing paraphernalia to a small den
like room on the third floor Fortu-
nately for the girls temperament, the
walls bore traces of pink flowers and
with the touches which artistic hands
can give, Delicia soon had an attrac-
tive workshop.
Arrived in her bower, the girl peep
ed out through the port hole Of her
window-she had sacrificed the vines
10 that extent-and sighed as she
gazed wlstfully at the old garden so
rich in possibilities but so much In
need Of loving hands to guide its
Btraying vines and tanges Of old
world flowers.
Delicia had no time herself. Her
stories demanded every moment.
Besides" she murmured to the
garden, someone might see me and
then-I might be put out Of my lovely
room" She grew fearsome at the
very thought and went desperately to
work on the story In her mind.
For an hour or more her typewriter
clicked. When the best of her
thoughts were safely down she be-
rame more conscious of outward
sounds
Gradually IL came to her senses
that peculiar grating noise had been
going on for some time. At the same
moment a voice was humming my

WHEN 81 HATS WERE ENWEO

Kansas City, Mo.-When wife"
wanted a new hat twenty years ago,
husband" would give her $1.25 and
say, Now, dear, get the best hat in
town and don't bother about return
ing the change to me-" That's the
"story" in twenty hats that Mrs. Belle
Jones of Burden, Kan, brought with
her to Kansas City, the other day.
Mrs. Jones started a millinery store
in Burden about twenty-five years ago.
Just twenty-five years ago she moved
her stock from one part of town to an
other. A box of twenty hats was mis-
placed and Mrs. Jones believed it had
been lost. They were little hats in
those days and the whole lot was
