 The song roated out through the open door into the still autumn air It reached a man oiling harness fin the barn.
 Poly doesn't sing much any more' he said aloud q wonder why The wonder started a chain Of mem. 'ries Memories of a slender girl with ! rich voice who had come 10 the un- attractive little farm house as bride. He remembered telling her it would not be long before he could build her new house, and he unconsclously shifted SO that he could not see the lingy little place that had sheltered her for fifteen years.
 "Goodby to Hope; goodby, goodby. % 3ang the voice with a tragic quality in it He rubbed the back of his hand 1ver his eyes and rose and hung up the harness, Wiping the oil off his hands, he drew a bank book fro minis pocket and took it 10 the western window of the baCn. The glow Of ] sunset had begun to spread over the sky and the warm light streamed lcros the cement floor of the new l barn he had built two summers be- ore. Finally he thrust the book in lis pocket an dstarted for the house. The haunting beauty of the song fol lowed him. He looked searchingIy at lis wife as he passe dthrough the Kitchen, but the face with it's settled melancholy gave no answering sign. While they sat at the supper tablc he said, Polly l believe We have money enough in the bank to make good start on a new house, and l am not afraid to borrow the rest and give you a home such as you de- serve"
 Mrs. Walters fairly turned pale with surprise. Then she said with a voice trembling with eagerness That would be lovely, Frank but ! cant bear to have you borrow tC build; I hate debt"
 "So you said when ] borrowed tc build the barn, laughed her husband "and ! only wish l had made the COWS viait for new Qualters instead of you Now when you get the dishes done come in here and we will gc over the plans together"

The bodice consisted Of two sleeve
less sides sloped off to the shoulder
and cut out in deep V neck, back
and front. The embroidered portion
was arranged just above the bust.
With it was worn a dainty kimono-
sleeved guimpe with tiny finishing
ruffies at the elbows and decolletage.
Although it was only very small
touch, much charm was evidenced in
the small fatty applied bowknots OF
light blue ribbon which trimmed the
sleeves. There was also narrow
blue girdle that tied In back with long
streamers.
The short tunic founce that was
hung with even gathers from the high
waist line was caught up higher at
the left side than at the right, and its
lower edge was cut right through the
embroidered border of the material.
Under this was a longer pouched
tunic. gathered at the top and caught

by the tunic. 1t was draped a little
in front with a few simple folds and
cut out over the instep
The stiff, muchdressed swisses will
not, Of course, do for a design Of this
kind. A soft-flnished variety is the
proper thing, and the dots should not
be too small nor too closely placed, as
the effect will be quite lost.

BONNETS FOR LITTLE ONES
Varying Hats That Will Be Suitable
to Needs Of Small Maidens'
Summer Wear.

After your little daughter has been
supplied with her "knockabout' hat it
is time to plan her bonnet for best
wear. The loveliest hats are devel-
oped of transparent materials, such as
net, point d'esprit or shadow lace, ar
latter can be purchased at any shop
where millinery is sold, and the wires
should be wrapped with strips of silk
before covering with the tulle.
An extremely dainty model is a
quaint Dutch bonnet. suggesting the
lace caps worn by the Vollendam
maids. The wire foundation is COW

tulle Is then shirred on cords and fit

a band Of nattier-blue ribbon drawn
