NOTHING LIKE SILKEN HOSE
Substitute for That Expensive Mate
rial Would BE Welcomed by the
Fashionable Woman.

Always the fastidious woman loves
that her hose should be soft and lux
urious, and there is not one Of US
who would not for the sake of its
GOODNESS, its pleasant feeling and the
fine elegance which it gives to foot
and ankle, wear silk habitually were
it not so expensive to keep up the
agreeable practice, The substitute
that looks as well and feels as delight
full in its contact with the skin has
still to be discovered.
Closely woven silk hose, with clocks,
If they are to the taste Of the wearer,
but with no other embroidery, are in
the best possible taste, and are chosen
by well dressed women rather than
any other kind of stocking. Colors are
seen, but black is preferred, and with
summer toilettes there has been a great
deal Of white worn with the fashion
able black and white shoe of the
promenade.

Millinery Notes.

Ostrich novelties are the livest num-
bers on the market at present, accord
ing to the Dry Goods Economist. The
better class trade are calling for all
sorts of odd effects in ostrich, in the
way of wings, buckles, feather busters,
shaving brushes, trees, fringes, etc.
Two-toned effects are leading fea-
ture, especially in plumes. The sim
pier effects in ostrich fancies are
meeting with success with the popu-
iar-price trade. One Of the most nov
ell and effective trimming arrange
ments, noted recently, was that Of
huge, white plush bow fringed with
white ostrich. This bow was perched
jauntily on the brim of white plush
sailor. Another striking effect was
obtained by the combination of long
ostrich flues with white wing trim
ming.

a While for a Time.

A Cleveland school teacher writes
that she asked her class what was
the difference between the express
sions, "a while" and "a time," says
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Nobody
seemed to have any idea on the sub
jeot. Finally the light of intelligence
was seen to shine in the eyes of one
little boy, and the teacher called upon
him to save the intellectual honor of
the class.

ly. when papa says he's going out
for a while, mamma says she knows
he's going out for time!"

December was very near on the sunny
morning that Emily drove out to the
factory and sought Bailey in his Of.

planned, as that gentleman rose to
receive her. I'VE have known each

Miss Emily. but there was many a

which they were seated.

Mr.. French and his niece were al
breakfast, on the Sunday when the
first account of the Georgia race
reached Ffrenchwood.
"You will take fresh coffee" Emily
was saying, the little silver pot poised
in her hand, when the door burst open
and Dick hurried, actually hurried, In
to the room.
Hes wont He's got I'll" he cried
brandishing the morning newspaper,
THE first time for an American car

he won It! He distanced every car
on the track except the two big Ital-
ian and French machines. Those he
couldn't get, of course; but the
Frenchman went out in the fourth
hour with a broken valve. Then he
was set down for second plaoe-sec-
ond place, Emily, with every other big
car in the country entered. They say
he drove like, LIKE don't know
what. A hundred and some miles an
hour on the straight stretches"
"Oh," Emily faltered, setting down
the coffee-pot In her plate.
He stopped her eagerly, half turning
toward Mr.. French, who had put on
his pince-nez to contemplate his
nephew in stupefaotion, not at his
statement, but at his condition.

ian car lost Its chain and went over

The gay and natural allusion de-
lighted her For the first time in her
life Emily Ffrench laughed out in a
genuine, mischievous sense of adven-
ture.
Eyes? wonder you could separate
yourself from that Rupert to come
here; he was a most bewlldering per-
SON." she retorted.
Separate from Rupert? Why, I
would not think Of racing a taxicab,
as he would say, without Rupert be-
side me. He is here taking a post
graduate course in this type Of car,
in order to be up to his work when
we go down to Georgia next week"
''Next week? You expect to win
that racer"
"No. We are running a stock car
against some heavy foreign racing
machines: the chance of winning is
slight. But I hope to outruh any 9TH
er American car on the course, if
nothing goes wrong"
She looked up.
"And II something does?" she won

He shrugged his shoulders.
spray be careful of those moving
belts behind you, Miss French. If
something does-there is a chance in
every game worth playing"
"a chancei" her feminine nerves
recoiled from the implied conse-
quences. But only a chance, surely.
You were never in an accident, never
were hurt?"
Lestrange regarded her in surprise
mingled with dawning raillery inf
nitely indulgent.

guardedly responded. I've been quite
lucky. At least Rupert and play our
game unhampered; there will be no
broken hearts If we are picked up
from under our car some day"
They had reached the door while
he spoke; as he put his hand on tho
knob to open 1t, Emily saw long
ngzag scar running up the extended
arm from wrist to elbow, a mute
commentary on the conversation. In
silence she passed out across the
courtyard to where her red-wheeled
cart waited. But when Lestrange had
put her in and given her the reins,

Lestrange threw back his head,
drawing a quick breath; here In the
strong sunlight he showed even
younger than she had thought him,
young with a. primitive intensity of
Just being alive.
THANK you. I would like-if It
were possible-to win this race"
This one. especially?"
Yes, because II ia the next step
and which I shall accomplish II I

Up to Emily's face rushed the an
swering color and fire to his; drawn
by the bond Of mutual earnestness,
she leaned nearer.

However Lestrange would have re-
piled, he was checked by the crash Of

petuously.
The glass-set door opened with un-
warning abruptness.

one. He'll know"
Helpless, Emily stood still, and
straightway found herself looking di-
rectly into Lestrange's gray eyes as
he halted on the threshold.
II was Bailey who upheld the mo-
mont, all unconsciously.
Come in" he invited heartily. Miss
Ffrench, this is our manager, Mr.. Le-
strange; the man who's going to
double our sales this year."
Emily moved, then Strengthened
herself proudly, lifting her small head.
Lestrange had recognized her, she
lelt; the call was to courage. not
light.
II think I have already met Mr.. Lee
