Millinery prices, as quoted
in the daily press, are apt to
mislead shoppers. The idea
that you can purchase SIS
hat for 3.OS, or some such
price, is utterly preposterous
on the face of it, at this sea-
son of the year.
Women who know, are
guided by a nationall y
known name such as Fisk,
Regina" Hyland or Keith.
These names are an absolute
assurance of select quality.
Every Hat bearing one of
the above labels is certain to
be a most charming model.
Therefore when you can buy
Hats a week before Thanks
giving, at a Discount of 20 70,

ity, you must realize that
you are obtaining a big re-
duction in mid-season.

heart throbbed when she saw a light
in the night she had always looked,
but always until now the little house
had been wrapped in the darkness.
Because of that light she could not

and in the sharp chill of the room bath

been her savage satisfaction in Drawing

Mis- Winslow demanded. We'll. then.
let's use a little of It. same as we
would on a Monday wash day"
No voice was raised in real protest.
None who had signed the paper and
none who had not done so could take
exception to this simple way of hos
pitality to the little stranger with a
tag on. And it was the glory of the
little town being a little town that
they somehow let it be known that
every n was expected to look in at
Mary's that night. No one was I'M
invited. And this was Hike a part of
the midwinter mystery expressing it
self unbidden.
Mary alone was not told. She had
consistently objected II the Christ
mas o~bservances for so long that they
feared the tyranny of her custom.
"She might not let us do it." they
said. "but II we all get there she can't
help liking IT.. She would on n 9TH
er day"
So she alone in Old Trail Town woke
that morning before Christmas with
no knowledge of this that was afoot.
And yet the day was not like any 9th
er day. because she lay there dreading
it more.
She had cleared out her little sleep
ing room as she had cleared the lower
floor. The chamber. with its white
plastered walls and boards nearly
bare and narrow white bed. had the
look of a cell in the first light strug-
Cling through the single snow framed
window. Here since her childhood she
Had lain nightly; here she had brought
her thought OF Adam Blood and had
seen the thought die and had watched
with 1t; here she had lain on the nights
after her parents had died; here she
had rested, body sick with fatigue. In
the years that she had toiled to keep
her home. In all that time there had
gone on within her many kinds of
death. She had arrived somehow at a
dumb feeling that these dyings were
gradually ~uncovering herself from
somewhere within; rather uncovering
some self whose existence she only
dimly guessed. "They's two of me-"
she had thought more often CT late.
land we don't meet-we don't meet"
She lived among her neighbors without
hate, without malice; for years she
had "meant nothing but love-" and
this not negatively. The rebellion
against Christmas was against only
the falsity of its meaningless observ-
ance. The rebellion against taking the
child, though somewhat grounded in
her distrust of her own fitness, was
really the last vestige of a self that
had chung to her in bitterness not to-
ward Adam. but toward Lily. Ever
since she had known that the child
was coming she had felt a kind of
spiritual exhaustion. sharpened by the
strange sense of oppression that hung
upon her like an illness.
IT feel as il something was going
to happen she kept saying.
In a little while she leaned toward
the window at her beds head and look
ed down the hill toward Jenny's. Her
