YELLING MUST BE PLENTIFUL
Without a Liberal Supply of Material
1t Is impossible to Get the
Proper Effect.

II is poor economy to buy too scant
measure when purchasing face veil
ing. A smaTtly adjusted veil can
never have a skinny effect, as when
the back OF yelling is straining at the
edges of the veil pin, or when there
is not sufficient material left at the
ends to be tucked from view. Wide
yelling and plenty of it must be used
on even a small hat. An excellent
idea is to have elastic cording run
through the meshes of the veil at the
top, being so measured as 20 fit firmly
at the base of the crown This meth
cd avoids the pinning of the veil to
the hat brim, which is never a very
secure way of fastening it and is diff
ficuIt to do if the hat brim is stiff, and
is apt to leave pin marks in any
event. The fulness should be evenly
distributed around the crown and the
edges of the veil at the bottom caught
at the nape of the neck with a veil
pin or barette. The ends are then
drawn straight up to the back of the
brim and invisibly tucked under the
elastic at the crown. When the veil
loses its freshness and begins to sag
at the chin twist this portion round
and round and tuck it under it's own
surface; this will give trimness to the
otherwise untidy appearance.

New Gloves.

Kid gloves when put on for the
first time require time. They should
be carefully stretched and worked on
slowly, care being taken that the fin
ger seams are in their right position
always. Button the second button
first, after which fasten the first one.
Much depends upon the way a glove
is put on, not only as regards the fit,
but also the wear of the glove If
you do not manage to fasten the top
button the first time of wearing you
will rarely succeed in doing so after
ward, for the glove will have stretched
in other directions.

BY FLORENCE LILLIAN HENDER-
SON.
The Fowlers were not very good to
Elsa Bruce. She realized it, but in
her patient, cheerful way tried not to
mind IT. Mrs. Fowler was her step
aunt, Elsa was an orphan, and, aside
from old Grandfather Bruce, she had
no near relative in the world
Mrs Fowler was sour as vinegar, a
chronic grumbIer, parsimonious and a
slave driver. Within that narrow
bosom OF hers she cherished the idea
that she was phiIanthrOpicaIIy shell
ter1ng Elsa, the poor shorn lamb, in
a truly Christian way. In reality she
was making a drudge of her. Elsa
anywhere else would have been hailed
as jewel of industry and economy,
and literally paid for her apt. tireless
ability as cook, nurse and house
keeper.
L must keep on, if only for your
sake, dear grandpa" Elsa was wont
to say when the old man rebeIIed at
the Onerous duties imposed upon her.
I don't mind the work, if they would
just treat you with a little more
thoughtfulness."
It's a shamei" stormed the old
man I gave my step-daughter the
property here for providing me with
a home the rest of my life, and it's
just hardened her into a pinching, IN

heartful way, and then went to her
own room for a good crying spell

His ambition was to become an cleo
trician. In Fairview activity in that
line was just beginning to show itself.
His pay was small, and so little could
he save that, although Elsa and he
were engaged, the wedding day seem

IF I hadn't been so foolish as to
give my property away to that selfish
step-daughter of mine" Grandpa Bruce
told his venerable chum, John Davis,
I'd set that deserving young couple
up in housekeeping double-quick."
Old man Davis was dependent on
the bounty of a son, and none too
much in love with the life itself. One
afternoon Bruce met him with an ex-
cited. mysterious look on his face and
a crumpled newspaper in his hand.
He drew him aside to a convenient
tree trunk.
Davis" he announced jubilantly,
I've got great scheme, and I want
you to help me out with it,
What is it, Dan1?" inquired old
John.
Just this: I'm sick and tired OF
the life I'm living, and I'm going TO
change it. Another thing, if Elsa and
Bert had few hundred dollars ahead
as a nest egg, they could get married
Well, I'm going to earn it."
Howl challenged old John de-
risiveIy
by working, of course. Why, I'm
spry as cricket, for all my sixty odd
years. Just the thing struck me in a
city paper today. Here it is"
Daniel unfolded the newspaper and
pointed to a certain paragraph. It
read, with an address: Wanted, a
man used to the care and training Of
horses"
Don't you understand" demanded
Daniel. Il didn't spend ten years on
the ranch out west not to understand
horse folks. Why, I'd take second
place to no man in that line Here's
just the job for me, and I'm going to
reach for it. Have you any money,
John?"
q have just five dollars, put away
for a special purpose" replied Davis
hesitatingly.
This is The special purpose then"
insisted Daniel. You lend it to me.
1t will do for starter. First pay day
it comes back to you promptly"
So it was arranged That night
Eaniel packed a small valise, wrote
a note to Elsa, slipped it under the
door of her room and prepared to
