CHAPTER w.

TINE morning following Gordon
Craigs call Mary awoke with a
- pleasant sense Of anticipation
For a moment she gazed about her
sunny room trying to think what agree
able thing was ahead of her. She re
membered only too well the work she
had laid out for herself TO accomplish
within the next few days, but that
was certainly not what gave her a SEN
sation of joy
Suddenly she recalled last evening s
experiences and the promise that she
made to go to the theater with Craig
when he should return from Boston.
| She felt again the pressure Of his hand
as he babe her good night The world

/ DRY She appreciated that here in this
! busy city, the Texan was still so near
| that she might summon him by tele-
/ phone. That seemed a pleasant fact,
! too
These thoughts occupied her mind

I the last touches to her toilet, she met
] her own gaze in her mirror and was
amazed at the happy, TRANSPORTED ex-

on the verge Of making a fool Of herself
about a fellow whom she knew but
slightly, letting her thoughts dwell or
him as if he were the only man in the
world
still, he is an unusually nice chap
she acknowledged. The admission
soothed somewhat her wounded dignity
for she felt that she had fallen beneath
her usual standard OF wisdom in blush
ing and looking happy over the pos
sibllity of spending another evening in
this Westerner's company.
He probably talks to all girls Just
as he talked TO me, and looks at then
all in that way, too" she unused. 81

table
The best way to Danish subject
from ones mind is to place another II
its place. Mary recognized this fact
and applied herself to her work with
a zeal and zest that precluded other
considerations. Her mother remarked
this with gentle protest on a morning
late in the week as Mary was starting
for school.
Dear child" she said, you are look

it bloIses and below which it extends

FADS
AND Fashions

New York, June THE eXtraordi-
nary variety of styles from which one
comes nearest to fitting the tempera.

lively astonishing. Many of the styles
are exceedingly charming if worn by
the right persons, others are more odd
than beautiful ana can be worn sue
~cessfully only by few women and f.
nally there are a few styles which,
even under the most favorable condi-
lions, are simply hideous. The ORR
entail note is particularly conspicuous
at the present time. The gorgeous
effects borrowed from Persian and
East Indian costumes are holding their
own in the face of the approaching
summer, when they might reasonably
be expected to disappear.
E'eads and bugles and pearls and
rhinestOnes are used in Ornamenting
the most elaborate summer evening
costumes quite as much as they we're
during the winter. Wonderful
chiffon and tulle embroidered in these
brilliant effects are still to be seen,
while pearls are used on many of the
simpler frocks.
Elaborate lingerie dresses this sea-
son are almost exclusively of embrOid-
cred batiste combined with real laces

Among the most striking novelties
of the season are w~aistc0ats, which APP

the "gilet Prud'homme," for example,
which has created quite a sensation
