James G. Carter of New York, then

Justice Charles e. Hughes received
his first experience In active legal

Of st. James to take the post, he
turned to Melville w. Fuller OF Chi

What definitely determined Mr..
Cleveland to select Mr.. Fuller for
chief justice were certain representa-
tons made to him by members Of the
Supreme court. They said to him that
q man, to be successful as chief JUS
tice of the United States, should have,
in addition to great legal learning and
q high judicial capacity, great s1ecu.
tive ability. Under Chief Justice
Waite, they d~elicately intimated. great

docket.
"Mr. Fuller had been recommended
to President Cleveland not only as a
very able lawyer. but also as a bust

chosen a business life instead of the
law, his sponsors declared-and prob
ably correctly-he would have gained
distinguished success as an executive.

TUB DRESSES FOR A DOLLAR
Dainty Froeks In All Sorts Of Designs
Arc Now We'll Within the
Reach Of All.

It IL astonishing how many dainty
these days setting tho limit Of sx-
penditures at 81, including the pat
terms and threads.
Never before hate SO many delicate
designs been shown in inexpensive
lawns and g1nghams, and the busi-
ness girl should begin now to make
tho smart little dresses which she will
wear to the office during the coming
summer.
Two things should be remembered.
One is that much trimming Of any
sort detracts both from the cool ef-
feet of the gown and makes 1t bad to
launder; the second is that however
dainty the YER light materials r
they are far less servioeable than .
plaid or a plain buff OF blue dress.
AS to the question of expense, be-
gin with the pattern. Choose one Of
the new ones that are capable Of being
carried out in several different fash.
ions, with or without the high waist
line or with long o. short sleeves and
with or without yoke. Thus for 10
cents you will provide yourself with
a pattern for several frocks.
Next, a few yards of white null and
some inexpensive lace will make
broad collars and cuffs and q hchu or
a dainty pointed yoke, all Of which
will serve as trimming, for your
gowns.
Then as to materials. Ginghams.

az 8 and 10 cents a yard. A good

Celeste Wheeler bought a mornins
paper and turned eagerly to the per-
sonal column. A little laugh escaped
her as her eyes alighted on he ad she
had inserted. She read 1t over still
wearing her irresponsible smile.
"A young lady will paint a miniature

ferred. References"

pen to be at low tide and energies
depleted"
Celeste looked wistfully down at her
rather shabby shoes and the dust o
ored velvet of her gown. Luckily for
both they were of a shade which Meth
or showed their poverty nor their lack
of care. They were artistic In their
very ~shabbiness as was the soft gray
hat with its woefully dropping plume.
Not 80 with Celeste's eyes. These
great, wonderful eyes assumed all the
brightness and depths and happiness
of two new born stars. Only occa-
sionally were these eyes permitted to
reflect all the inward longing for the
nan whose love had been ruthlessly
cast aside. Celeste had been very
young when she had told Hugh Ardale
that art must take the place Of love.
Well, fame was gradually creeping in
to fulfil it's mission and Celeste Wheel
er smiled through all.
She reached her studio and in the
hope that answers would soon com
from her advertisement, Celeste gave
her wonderful artistic treasures a more
or less cursory tidying. Also she put
a few much needed stitches in the
fragments of q wardrobe which she
possessed.
When these dutiee, enormous to the
artistic temperament, were over. &C.
leste went to her little tin box and
looked over her wealth. She had ex-
actly ninety-nine dollars. Her studio
was paid for for another twelve months
and Celeste had orders for nine NINA
lures, waiting her leisure. She would
not touch one of these until she had
returned from a much needed rest.

A More or Less Cursory T1dyin0.
Her work and name were too precious
to impair by trusting to faded facul-
ties.
Now that the die was cast and Ce-
leste ready to journey forth she waited
impatiently for such an offer as she
could accept.
Three days later Celeste boarded q
train for Glen Head, a tiny village on
the Sound. She had received a simply
worded but winning letter from an
elderly couple who were apparently
alone in their big estate on the waters
edge. The coachman would meet her
at the station In q governess's cart.
With eyes sparkling and cheeks
aglow Celeste alighted at the Glen
Head station. She was the only pass
enger getting on and this fact pre-
vented any mistake on the part Of the
coachman in the small cart. Celeste
had wondered why an elderly couple
should elect to travel about the coun-
try roads in this particular style Of
vehicle. Now she knew. A small child
was evidently a part of the household
to which Celeste was being driven.
Celeste experienced a peculiar thrill
when she looked closely into the
baby's face. Her greenish gray eyes
with their dauntless expression were
much like Hugh Ardale's.
After q series of questions which tho
small beauty asked OF Celeste and
which were duly n evidently salts
factortly answered Celeste herself
asked:
And what II your name. d~arling?"
"Marsa Ardale-" Iisped the baby.

when he asked us II 1t would be

HE was much relieved when we
told him that there would not be the
slightest objection to his business

commit 1t to memory, but 1t was OF
no use. And finally. the governor ap-
peared to be very happy when We
told him: Why, of course. o can

1T proved to be a great speech
The subject was Farmers and the
Tariff and 1t attracted so much at
tention that William C. Whitney and
the others who were directing the

surprised when they learned that it
had resulted in q fine presidential

"Thereupon, a courteously and gen

pared by Mr.. Whitney, was sent to
the Iowa delegation. Only a few mo-

MI. Whitney received it. He was told
that Governor Boies under no cicum-
stances would consent to take second
place upon the national ticket.
None Of those who were present
can forget the queer, almost be-
wtldered, expression which came to

There must be a second choice for
