pettishly, and when the dance was

Edna allowed Mr.. Allen to see her

She listened to his handsome CON-

elegant ways with those of the plain
but honest Robert. When she got
home, however. and reached her room.
she sat down with a sigh and dull
pain at her heart.
Her parents were away visiting q

a masked man. The edge Of the sash
imprisoned his neck. One arm was
reached through, striving to reach q

cry. New and FashionabIy

Nv WALTER J. DELANEY,

Edna Wilbur never looked prettier
IN her life than upon the day when the

Vile. Imagine an old-fashioned double
store made over into q modern en-
p, rum of trade. permanent counters
and gaily decorated booths all about

head and you have . mere idea Of
what the Village Young Ladies' club
had done for the factory hands down
the river and the families Of farmers
all over the county.
The original idea Of this progressive
move for the social and business bet.
terment of the district had been born
In the busy little brain of the belle of
the town. Edna and her girl friends
had got rich old Jabez Hull to fix up
the ancient building. Her club had
set everybody at fancy work. The vii.
lage merchants had donated some Of
their goods literally. even the farmers
had subscribed handsomely. The place
was to hold a sort of permanent fair
every Saturday Admission was free;
ell the articles carried were for sale
or exchange. 1t was hoped to encour-
age the poor mill girls in needlework,
and give to all cheap household
knicknacks at cost price.
Then there was to be q band. . sup
per. Q clean. instructive picture show,
and dancing. The social and economic
features OF the enterprise appealed to
everybody. and now. just before dusk,
Z great throng crowded the busy
street In front of the Exchange.
It was pretty sight. The doors
Of the place were crossed and re.
crossed with white ribbon. In the
center Of these, just over the knob
Of the door, was a great vari-colored
rOsette. All life, animation and
beauty, Edna stood al the threshold.

dress, lifted his glossy silk hat. first
