Slowly her eyes wandered round the
room until, with a guilty start, they
rested on something standing on the
mantelpiece.
1t was babys money box. Her
hands clutched the chair convulsively.

But what would John say?"
For few moments she stood de-
batting the awful question in her
mind, and then she took the box in
her lands.
John need never know" she whis-

Then, with guilty face, she broke
open the box and emptied on to the
table a collection of--tin tacks, nails,

John had been there first.

Maid Had HELPED.

Young Van Windle waited nervous
ly in the parlor for Julia to appear.
He had been sitting there twiddling
his thumbs, for half an hour. Finally
a step was heard in the hall and he
rose to his feet expectantly.
But it was not Julia. 1t was her
maid.
Marie said the impatient young
man, what keeps your mistress so
long? Is she making up her mind
whether she'll see me or not?"
No, sir" answered the maid with
a wise smirk. 1T isn't her mind she's
making up"

question Of cost. We are not rich
enough to build the big establishments

director told me. The second and
most important one was the desire

from 300 francs to 1000 francs per
annum t$60 to $4,000. the sum paid
depending on the position of the fam

year. The doctor In charge Of the
sections visits the incurables at least
once month, while those who show
any signs OF cure are visited once q
week.
In addition there are seven gardes,
who must visit all the patients OF
their section at least twice month.
while two others charged with the

As the results Of the system, It
may be of interest to mention that the
death rate has averaged about four per
cent. during the past few years. while
in England and Wales the rate has
been seven per cent. for the past ten
years. With regard to recoveries. In

STYLES IN FALL MILLINERY
Forecast Seems to Make Sure That
Small and Medium-sIxed Hats
Arc to Take the Lead.

Small and medium.sized hats will
take the lead. There will be Q va
riety Of shapes. but the most prom
inent are the sailor. mushroom poke.
and the small hat with the left side
rolling brim. Sailors are many times
given poke effect. The front brim is
often made shorter than the back.
and a slight bend in the center front
gives a decidedly poke effect. The
mushroom poke Is small. and the
brim is perfectly straight. The crown
is medium high and soft. This ap-
plies to nearly all fall shapes.
The season will start out with fab

lines will be extensively used in the
trimming Of fall hats in the form of
bows and pleatings. Bias double ruff

ish the edges Of the brims.
Extensive use of ribbon Is prom
ised. High standing bows. with the
highest loop measuring fourteen
inches. will be seen. The butterfly
bow is composed of four wired loops
with rounded edges. Two Of the loops
are in the center, with one on either
side. The windmill bow. similar in
shape to half windmill, is generally
made of ribbon. while the butterfly
bow is of malines or crepe.
High.standing front or back trim
mings are preferred. Bows Of malines
or ribbon are almost always placed
at the front or back. never at the
side of = hat. Coque and quilts will

and are made in novelty form. They
will be arranged in the direct front or

How child.like he was! she medi-

He was twenty-eight and Maisie
twenty-five, and they had been en-

Had he been a poet he might have
made his way. for poetry is said to
be a fairly lucrative calling. But
he was not even that-he was com
poser by choice. He knew that the
present generation would never un-
derstand his work; he wanted nothing
but to have quiet home Of his own
where he could farm and write his
melodies undisturbed. And Maisie
had that passionate longing Tor q
country life that city-bred people feel.
She was a stenographer. and between
them they made exactly twenty dol

enough worldly wisdom to refuse.

they had set their hearts upon.
