to pay visit to the smartest shop
to find this out.
A conventional suit-the sort Of
thing all the shops Keeps shown,
and the model is much liked by the
small women who buy their garments
in misses departments. The jacket is
double-breasted, with shawl collar
and cuffs of contrasting fabric, the
buttons also matching this trimming.
The skirt is one of the many tailored
models which run to side plating
for the sake OF more ease in walking.
Accessories for the girls practical
coat suit are as sensible in style, the
hats being very plain, neckwear sim
pie and boots and gloves stout. Some
very smart little ready-tO-wear hats,
which have quite a distinctive air from
their very plainness, are round af-
fairs of felt in cOlors to match the
gOwns-different shades of blue, fam
boise, a shade of plum now allowed
young girls, green, brown, etc. The
sole trimming of such hats is an edge
and a side fancy of suede leather in
a contrasting color or in matching
one several shades deeper than the
hat.
Deerskin gloves made gauntlet
fashion, are smar, hand coverings,
and although thes cost about two
dollars they are so durable that only
one pair will be needed the whole
season. About the smartest boots are
those Of patent leather with cloth
tops, these being made on very
straight lasts, with fiat heels and
round toes. One shop makes such
boots to order, using material like the
girls suit for the uppers. and charg-

EISS PENELOPE stood at the

MISS PENELOPE stood at the
lv1 top of the porch steps, flick
ing her skirt restlessly with her rid
ing whip. She was impatient at her
forced quiescence in the face OF the
live, pulsing April day, and her
whole spirit longed for notion
something to shake the "aunty
quirks" from her brain, as she told
herself with permissible inner cross
ness. Miss Penelope was thirty
eight, and she knew it; but she
could have dismissed that fact from
her mind cheerfully and definitely
had it not been for Josephine.
Josephine was young, distress
fully so, and swept everything be-
fore her with the charming impetus
of youth, which leaves anything ten
years older than itself stranded high
and dry on the banks of Extreme
Old Age, position that Miss Pene-
lope resented. She had escaped the
appellation of "old maid, her mon
ey and personal charm had saved
her from that,-but in the eyes OF
Josephine and her friends she had
all the dignity of age, without any
of its accompanying disadvantages
of inactivity, and they valued her
accordingly.
Now the crossness came boldly
out to lodge in two little perpendicu-
lar wrinkles on the white forehead;
for a swift 'patter of feet sounded
across the hall behind her and gay
vision appeared in the doorway.
There was no denying that she was
charming, this Josephine, -exasper-
atingly so, in her aunt's present
mood, for, from the top of her fair,
curly head to the tips of her dainty
feet she radiated youth, joy, win
someness. But Miss Penelope was
tired, tired with the WEAKNESS for
which another's blitheness is no anti
dote, and she looked longingly sta
bleward, as if for a relief expedition
that was fatally delaying.
"Why, Aunty Pen!' cried the
girl. "What does this mean? Didn't
you know that we were all going
over to Chasm Falls today and
wanted you to chaperon us:o'

withal little defiant. "Why, yes,

THE ELECTRIC FAN A WONDER
Full PIECE OF MACHINERY.

Those who push button, when the
heat gets oppressive, and instantly
command nice cool breez of fresh
and invigorating air imagine the cleo
trio fan one of the simplest of modern
conveniences. 1t seems simple
enough-at the pressure of a finger
the fan blades revolve and the breeze
begins to blow, but, as a matter of
fact, the modern electro fan is an
excellent example of fine workman
ship and modern ingenuity and the
wonder is that it can be sold so
cheaply.
Take the ordinary sixteen-inch fan
for instance. This fan consists of
some six hundred and seventy differ
ent parts, nicely assembled and all
working in harmony. These range in
size from a tiny screw to the brass
blades, and in cost from a few pennies
to several dollars each. For example,
there is included in its construction
1872 feet of wire-nearly a quarter of
mile. This wire, of course, is the
best copper, insulated with cotton and
fine silk.
Great skill is required in designing
and building electric fans. The motor
is one especially intended for the
operation of the fan blades. 1t must
be delicate to save bulk and weight;
it must be efficient, because it has a
hard task to perform, often for long
continuous periods. Above all, II
must be economical so that the price
OF the fan itself will not be prohibitivt
and to obviate large consumption O
current. So satisfactorily have manu-
facturers combined all these consid
erations that fan of the sort we ar,
describing can be bought at retail a
from $40 to $25. 1t requires for it
operation about the same amount O
current as consumed by the ordinar.
