BELLE . OF VILLAGE.
Edna Wilbur's Startling Discov-
cry; New and Fashionsbly
Dressed Admirer a Burglar.
BY WALTER J. DELANEY.

~ WIZ. 1ss ~ 0~~~~'s-t'
Edna Wilbur never looked prettier
In her life than upon the day when the
Industrial Exchange" opened at Mil
Vile. Imagine an old.fashioned double
store made over into modern en-
porium Of trade, permanent counters
and gaily decorated booths all about
it. Add an airy dancing room over
head and you have a 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

lage merchants had donated some of
their goods literally, even the farmers
had subscribed handsomely. The place
was to hold sort of permanent fair
every Saturday. Admission was free:
all the articles carried were for sale
or exchange. It 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 band. sup
per, clean, instructive picture show,
and dancing. The social and economic
features of the enterprise appealed to
everybody. and now, just before dusk,
a great throng crowded the busy
street in front of the Exchange.
1t 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 at the threshold.
The mayor of the town, in evening
dress, lifted his glossy silk hat, first
to her and then to the crowd. In q
neat little speech he welcomed his

Thus far the work has been kept upon a mod crate scale till details could be work ed out.
