pleaded Captain Eben. She hesitated
no longer.

tears, III Nat wants me he can have

Keziah clasped her hands. Captain
Ebens face lit up with a great Joy.
Thank the Almighty" he ex-
claimed. Lord, do thank you. Nat,
boy, you're considerable older than she
is and you'll have to plan for her. You
be a good husband to her all her days,
won't ye? Why, what are you waitin'
for? Why don't you answer me?"
Nat groaned aloud.
"A minute dad" he stammered.
Just give me minute, for Heaven

'Keziah!" repeated Eben. "Keziah?
What are you talkin' to her for? She
knows there couldn't be no better

Higgins; busy with Grace. soothing

PREPARATION FoR RAINY DAYL FAvORs oMEPIEcE DREssE:
School Principal Insists Garment
Is the Best Possible for the
Growing Young Lady.

The head of the biggest trade school
for girls in New York declares that
the present style of one-piece dresses
is the ideal costume for growing girls.
THE short-waisted style of dress,
with its wider girth at the high waist
line and its general looseness, hang
ing straight from the shoulder, is the
ideal sort of frock for young girl
to wear" the principal said. ut is
not only comfortable, neat, easy to
put on and simple and pretty In cut,
but 1t has another immense advan-
tage, bigger than all of these, al
though these should be sufficient to
recommend it to mothers.
ut is cut in such way that If a
girl is taught to carry herself upright,
walking with her body held properly,
and sitting erect and without SLOUGH
ing, she need wear no corset. For a
girl who must have room to grow
and to breathe right, plenty Of space
is a necessity, and corset is not de-
sirable.
"The philosophy OF the dress Is
this With a long-waisted dress, as
when a girl wears skirt and shirt
waist, the skirt is fastened tightly
around the smallest part Of the body.
This prevents free breathing and with
this style some kind of corset is
necessity.
"But with the waist line higher
and as large around as the largest
part of the body, as is shown in what
Is called the empire style Of gown,
the unpleasant small-waisted effect
the arms and looks we'll. II the girl
waist may be large, but it is not no
ticed. The skirt hangs In straight
lines from the larger line just below
the arms and looks we'll. If the girls
keeps her body erect and stands or
sits in a/graceful, even position, the
effect is excellent without a corset.
The plan would encourage girls to
take care how they stand or walk or
breathe, and this itself would be
good for them" !

Supply of Clean, Dry Sand Will Pro-
vide Amusing Occupation for the
Little Ones.

The outdoor sand pile is a time
honored institution, but out of doors
offers many other attractions, so We
improved on the idea.
A box was made, about nine inches
high, and in other dimensions just a
little smaller than the nursery bed. 1t
was fitted with casters, lined with a
pale green oilcloth, and box plait-
ing of green denim was put around the
outside with brass-headed tacks. Next
a barrelful of fine white sand was put
inland the stormy day problem was
solved
The little maid, less than a year
old, when the box was first introduced,
was perfectly safe, and she never
seemed to tire of its endless attrac-
tions. Nearly all her toys were kept
there; old playing cards would stand
up in the sand to form houses and
fences: trains of cars had much bust
ness to transact, and many hours
we're spent just ladling the sand into
big, thick bottle with an old tin spoon
and pouring it out again.
The little occupant was taught from
the first that no sand was to go on the
floor, and we never had the least trou-
BILE even after the little sister came
to share the box few years later. In
deed. it proved the cheapest, safest
and best device that ever was invent
ed for keeping the little ones happily
entertained

meetin' place where you can see her
without anyone's KNOWN 1t. I'll try.
But do wait a little while, for her

At last he was listening and hest
tating.
Wont you?" begged Kezian.
Yes" he answered slowly. "I1f
wait. I'll wait until noon, somehow, If
can. I'll try. But not minute
later. Not one. You don't know what
you're talking about. Mrs. Coffin"
Yes, do. l know well. And l
thank you for her sake"
But he did not have to wait until
noon. At six o'clock. through the dew
soaked grass Of the yard, came the
Higgins boy. For the first time in his
short life he had been awake all night
and he moved slowly.
The housekeeper opened the door.
Ike held up an envelope, clutched in
grimy hand
IT'S for you, Mrs. Keziah" he said.
Oracle she sent It. There amt no
answer"
Mrs. Coffin closed the door and tore
open the envelope. Within was an
other addressed, in Grace's handwrit-
ing, to Mr.. Ellery. The housekeeper
entered the study, handed it to him
and turned away.
