brave, he succeeded In carving out
q future for himself as he had
dreamed.
Weeks went by, then months, and
still Anne had no word from him.
she had answered his last letter
promptly assuring him of no objec-

parts OF her letter to a stranger.
Months added to months made a
year of silence. Then Anne went
away with her mother to the noun

that Tom Marshall had appeared and
wanted to see her.

swered, and settled down to enjoy
the courtship of Standield Meyers,
who had followed her to the noun
Gains and who offered balm for her
wounded pride.
One evening as she swayed with
young Meyers to the music in the
ballroom Of the, hotel she saw Tom
Marshall standing in the entrance,
his eyes fixed on her. She nodded
pleasantly, much as she would have
done to any casual acquaintance.
The music stopped when she was
near q door acros the room. She
hurried into the darkness, and plead
Ing a headache to her partner, went
directly down the long veranda,
through a French window and SO
gained the elevator without encoun-
tering Marshall. A nights rest, she
reflected, would fit her for the ordeal
OF meeting his wife. Her fathers
letter that day stated that Marshall
had with him a beautiful young
woman whom he had heard called
Mrs. Marshall.
Anne was conscious of the gossip
over the bridge tables and embroid-
cry frames as she started out for a
tramp with Meyers the next morning.
The engagement Of the two would be
announced at the beginning Of the
season In town, the marriage to take
place the following spring, SO one

His weekly letter, due on Thursday

she came down to breakfast. She ran
through her mail hurriedly, an I'M

In the privacy of her own room, an
hour later, she read again his last
letter,

II would like to read bits of your

Anne looked up over her desk
where his picture had hung ever since
she came home from school. He had
been a student in the great university
near her own college. When he was

Banana Flour

Banana flour, especially prepared as
a tonic food is making its appearance
in Paris under the name of bananeine.
1t Is to be remarked that within q
recent period this fruit was but lit

consumption is limited. However,
measures are being taken to increase
the importation, and 1t Is said that
70 vessels were recently fitted up for
bringing the fruit to Europe. Banana
-four has a much more extended use
in England than on the continent, but
efforts are now made to introduce 1t
in France, owing to Its great nutri-

Der of occasions. It Is a hat not too
dressy for very informal wear, but
which lends itself to those that re-
quire high-style also. 1t is ideal for
the tourist who wants to go about
without much baggage and still be
prepared to dress for state occasions.
Another very new model, in which
roses are wonderfully placed, shows
a large hemp shape with oncav I'M
derbrim filled in with very large full
bloom roses. They are mounted fiat
against the underbrim, forming an en-
chanting frame for the face. The
crown is trimmed with full ruche of
lace and that finishes the design. The
shape is made with special reference
to this method of trimming.
