the stable she had kept a secret, only
her trainer. Donovan. sharing 1t with
her Myrtle's future father-in-law was
ut that very moment fighting for the
passages of the anti-betting bill In the
Albany legislature. His son had been
reared In the strictest fashion. If the
elderly reformer learned that the sister
of his sons fiancce was the owner of n
racing stable he would never consent
to the marriage of his son.
The stable was now Oh n paying basis
and the widow could indulge In the
love of such fnery as is dear to the
heart Of every woman.
Clasping Myrtle in her arms. she
kissed her fondly, saying:
THE house is simply lovely. my
dear"
Sanderson and Garrison both seized
a chair for her and placed them side by
side. Each hoped the widow would
favor him with smile and the ac-
ccptance of the particular piece Of lawn
furniture he had selected.
Mrs. harrington laughed softly at
the apparent rivalry Of the two men
and to show no discrimination took an
other seat
Fred Sanderson was a great lover OF
automobiles. The sport for him was
almost mania. Being a man Of great
wealth, lie could ride his hobby to Its
limit. Leaning over Mrs. Barrington's
shoulder, he said, looking at Garrison,
who stood OH the opposite side Of the
chair:
The ride blackwell, l guess 1t was
bad. Talk about your horses"
I'm for horses every time," chal-
| lenged Garrison.
! Turning to Mrs. harrington, Ralph
asked, (Which do you prefer"
From where l sit it looks like a dead
heat" was her answer.
Undaunted, Garrison returned with
| the question:
But, Mrs. Darlington, a country
road in the cool Of summer after
noon and two really good horses-could
anything be better than that?"
Lively chatter held the group, when
Hortense announced to Mrs. Barring
ton:
"a man am come who says he de-
sres to converse about the draperies
for der house at Allendale."
"IIe wants to see me. I'm to choose
my own colors. You'll excuse me, won't

house.
Ralph Joined her at the door.

Sanderson had been trying to per-

suddenly declared: III tell you what

Duffy had vowed vengeance when de-
fcated. This was the first time they
had come in conflict In years.
The raucous sound of an automobile
horn broke the peaceful silence of the
morning.
Janet exclaimed:
"There come Mrs. Darlington and
Mr. Sanderson."
At this announcement the rest of the
group Joined Janet ut the gate to greet
Mrs. Harrington. who. rising In the

Mrs Harrington was an attractive

Heaven had not only favored her with

with an abundance of sound common
sense. She had faced the loss Of her

Garrison detained her with gesture.

Then he paused. The widow looked
at him for an explanation. For a mo-

and blurted out:
II love you.'
The declaration was so sudden and
surprising that Mrs. harrington lost
her breath.

Garrison had gone too far to retreat.
He intended to carry out his proposal,

With emphasis he asserted: II do.

BRTMS OF ODD SHAPE
POPULARITY OF HATS FOR MID
GUNNER WEAR.
Unfamiliar Lines Mark the Latest
Millinery Desisns-Elaborstlon In
Trimmings Is Also a Marked
Feature Of tho Season.

There are many large hats displayed
for midsummer wear, and nearly all Of
them show some popularity of brim,
either In upward lift or indentations
or the name Of trimming. There
are sudden widenings or narrowings
also, giving the hat unfamiliar lines
about the brim edge, but these shapes
are nevertheless well balanced and be
coming about the face. AS a rule
srowns are medium In size and dome
shaped, and there Is departure from
this so ~infrequently that the brIm may
be said to be the essential feature on
which to center attention.
Besides the oddly OF brims, 1t is
to be noted that the newest hats show
much elaboration in trimmings. Bands
of net or chiffon, frills of lace, malins
folds, many flowers, velvet ribbons and
plupage, are all ~cleverly managed, so
that the composition of a single hat
includes three or perhaps four ma
terials. The art Of the trimmer is
more evident in using this variety
than In simply placing a tuft of
plumss or a wreath of flowers on a
graceful shape. Both simply trimmed
andN deliberately made hats are at
trac4ive, but the latter are more IN
teresting.
As an instance Of this successful use
of several materials on one hat. one
of the rolling brimrned French sailors
IN white chip may be cited. This
