TAKING PLACE OF FEATHERS
Aisrettes of Wheat Just Now Are the
"ReaI Thing" for Variety
of Reasons.

No one seems to be able to ex.
plain why fashion is leaving the enor-
nous aigrettes of white and black.
which have been with us so long, un-
less it is laggard desire to be hui
manitarian. The restriction thrown
around birds by the laws of the states,
and the difficulty and cost of getting
aigrettes, has given many milliners
good reason not to carry them in
stock. The expense of buying one is
the best reason for their unpopular
ity
The milliners, liking the effects OF
the aigrette, have determined to use
many other materials to take it's place,
therefore the new hats are trimmed
with silken wheat in the form of an
aigrette. Some of it is in the natural
color and great deal of it is dyed
to match the hats or frocks
One sees much blue and green and
purple. The green is the most popu.
lar for summer use, as it Is re-
freshingly cool.

head, one after the other. If l hadn't
been busy holding up my torch might
have done something I'd be sorry for.
Really, never saw such a reckless dis
regard for common politeness. When
the first of the sassy things came to-

You taunted him with being-fat,
and laughed at him, until he stopped
eating the things he should eat. And
he has been exercising-on the roof,
until he has worn himself out. And
now-he is i'll. He-he has rash"
Everybody jumped at that, and We
instinctively moved away from Bella.
She was quite cold and scornful by
that time.
"a rash!" Max exclaimed. What
sort of rash?"

dignity, and turning she went up the
stairs.
There was a great deal of excite
ment, and nobody except Mr.. Harbi-
son was willing to go near Jim. He
went up at once with Bella. while
Max and Dal sat cravenly downstairs
and wondered If we would all take it,
and Anne told about a man she knew
who had it, and was deaf and dumb
and blind when he recovered.
Mr.. HARRISON came down after a
while, and said that the rash was
there, right enough, and that Jim abb

that he insisted that he always got a
rash from early strawberries and that

CHAPTER XIX. (continued.)

Playing the part of Mrs. Wilson,"
he repeated "Do you mean-?"
Exactly Playing the part. She is
not Mrs. Wilson. 1t seems that that
honor belonged at one time to Miss
not unknown in New York, only why
In the name Of sense does a man
want to divorce a woman and then
meet her at two o'clock in the morn
ing to kiss the place where his own
wedding ring used to rest?"
Jim fdgeted. Bella was having
spasms of mirth to herself, but the
HARRISON man did not SMILE He
stood for a moment looking at the
fire: Then he thrust his hands deep
Into the pockets of his dressing gown
and stalked over to me. He did not
care that the others were watching
and listening.
"Is it true?" he demanded, staring
down at me. "You are not Mrs Will
son? You are not married at all? All
that about being neglected-and
loathing him, and all that on the
roof-there was no foundation of
TRUTH"
l could only shake my head with
out looking up. There was no defense
to make. Oh, deserved the scorn in
bis voice.

He drew a long breath.
Il think 1 understand" he said
slowly, "but-you could have saved
me something. l must have given you
all a great deal of amusement"
"Oh, no." l pro jested. Il want
to tell you"
But he deliberately left me and
went over to the door. There he
turned and looked down at Aunt Sc
lima. He was little white, but there
was no passion in his face.
Thank you for telling me all this.
Miss Caruthers," he said easily. Now
that you and 1 know, I'm afraid the
others will miss their little diversion.

laugh and say that he was only huffed
little and would be over it by morn

thing queer in his face as he went

Mr. HARRISON, will you-can you
come upstairs?" she asked. Her voice
was strained, almost reedy, and her
lips were white.
Mr.. HARRISON stared up at her, with
the telephone box in his hands.
"Why-er-certainly he said, "but
unless it's very important. I'd like to
fix this talking machine. We want to
make a food record"
I'D like to break a food record, -
Max put in, but Bella created di-
version by sitting down suddenly on
the stair just above US, and burying
her face in her handkerchief.
"Jim is SICK" she said, with a sob.
"He-he doesn't want anything to
eat, and his head aches. He-said for
me-to go away and let him die!"
Dal dropped the hammer immedi-
ately, and Lollie Mercer sat petrified,
with a bonbon halfway to her mouth.
For, of course, it was unexpected,
finding sentiment of any kind in
Bella, and none Of them knew about
the scene in the den in the sma1l
hours of the morning.
"Sick!" Aunt Selma said, from a
hall chair "Sick! Where?"
"All over" Bella quavered. His
poor head is hot, and he's thirsty, but
he doesn't want anything but wa
ter"
Great Scott" Dal said suddenly.
Suppose he should-Bella, are you
telling us all his symptoms?"
Bella put down her handkerchief
and got UP from her position on the
stairs she looked down on us with
something of her old naughty manner.
eff he is Ill, you may blame your
selves, all of you," she said cruelty.

Among the favorite trimmings are

Gold and silver laces are also used on

Hand embroidery is much seen. A

iESE pictures of lovely bonnets
show what happens to the sun
a bonnet when the milliner makes
it of her dainty and soft materials
Made of lace, chiffon, thin and lus-
trous silks and straws almost as pill
able, with occasionally the sheerest
batiste or Swiss embroidery, the sun
bonnet almost loses its identity, 1t
becomes a wonderful example of mil
linery art and finds welcome in
hearts already warmly attached to its
plain. work-a-day predecessor.
These elaborate pieces of headgear
are only intended for occasional wear
and may therefore be as fragile as
any dream. They are indeed among
those millinery dreams" which cost
many substantial dollars, for much
material and much work goes into
their making.

The crowns are all big and soft,
supported by light wire frames. The
brims are all fluffy ruffles, varied,
elaborated and abundant. Ribbons,
soft and ldstrous and gay, small, gar.
den or field flowers make up their
trimmings. Gauze ribbons are often
used and are in keeping with the rest
of the airy fabrics. Occasionally
bonnet is provided with ties but the
elastic fastener is used IN most cases
and is comfortable and secure, that
is, as secure as any method Of fasten-
ing in use at present.
Nearly all these bonnets are made
up in white but the pale blues and
pinks are not entirely neglected. #
is said white ones can be tinted to
pale shades, by processes known to
the milliner.

Linen Is Cooler.

Linen sheets, on account of the
tendency to withstand wrinkling and
rumpiing for longer time. are much
coolen for use in the summertime than
are those of muslin.
Of course, the fact that sheets
should never be ironed is legion, but
where one cannot afford linen sheets
tie muslin ones can be gone over
with a.clean, cold iron, as this will
prove to reduce the rumpling that &C
companied the desire for cooler spot
on the hot nights of the middle
months of summer.

Little Silk BoIeros.

The dressmakers have experiment.
ed with boleros for two seasons and
they seem to have landed them into
fashion at last. They are worn in
bright colors with white muslin gowns
or old-fashioned frocks of floral or
candle. They are finished around the
edge with a plated ruching of ribbon
or a ruff1e of lace. The severe ones
have only a thick cable cord covered
with silk or satin.

Care or Screens,

Window and door screens usually
get very dusty during the latter part
of the summer, and it is poor econ,

wash them just before storing unless
they are most carefully dried to pre-
vent rusting. Kerosene applied with
