velope had an increase suficisnt to warrant a prettier gown, and she spent less time in the back room. s
 Yet Lucy was strangely unhappy.. Her dreams of the country brought an unaccountable ache to her heart. Ghe; 1elt dread Of seeing Falkner. fIiS presence had once seemed the only ink between her and her old, happy, life. s1ss
 Lucy felt tired, too. Perhaps H was the added responsibility and exr cltement of the front room.
 Month by month her improved ap- pearance spoke of the increase in her wages. But with all her prosperity. the girls face held the same kind look that made people trust her.
 Lucy stood near the front door. the night before Easter, watching ths weary girls returning from their, hasty suppers. The rush for the past week had been almost intolerable.
 She did not notice Falkner'a en- trance, until he spoke, close beside her.
 Good evening. Why, you are so fine, Miss Lane. hardly knew you!"
 Lucy tried to smile as she inquired what he wished.
 Nothing for the children this time. l have decided that their mother ought to have her chance this trip. Don't all the ladies like new bonnets and things at Easter time, Miss Lucy?"
 Lucy's courage faltered for an in- stant. Then she sensibly remembered that she was first of all saleslady for Madame Lorimer!
 T should say that anything you can wear would just about fit her. And you'll just have to go ahead by your self; am more at sea than was with the children's fixings"
 The girl mechanically made selec- tion of serviceable garments that she though suited busy, country wom- an.
 Now the bonnet she said, smil- ing.
 Try them on," commanded Falkner admiringly "But pick out something sober-she isn't a very lively wom- an any more."
 But she must be very happy one." exclaimed Lucy, imperiously.
 Why do you think that?"
 How could she help being with two dear little children, and a good home, and-so kind a husband" Her voice trailed off, miserably
 But that is just exactly what she doesn't have. He is worse than fail ure as a husband. if he is my own brother. And her home is about as poor as you can imagine But she sticks by him for some unaccountahle reason. l try to do what I can for her. Why. Lucy, did you think"
 He paused and looked into her fiush- ed, embarrassed face.
 And tell me, dear, did you carer, He crushed her hands in his own, to the immediate peril of the sober lit tie hat she was holding.
 "I-I-"
 Listen" he said, in matter,of-fact voice, this isn't much of time or place to tell you what wish to-but I'm going to risk it.
 Lucy, I came especially to ask you to come home with me. I've dreamed all winter what life would be like with you. Will you marry me, tomorrow?" \
 She looked deep into his eyes. Wy
 And now" he said with a happy laugh, let's pick out your Easter bonnet-dear!"

REALITIES OF THE SOUTH

Tho world is inst awakening to the fact that South American women are beautiful and fascl- hating and that the palm for charm and loveli' ness is fast being wrested from ther North American sisters. Perhaps the most beautiful Of all these new beauties come from Argentina, the land of surprises and wonders, and they seem to have found what Ponce de Leon sought 1urtner north-the fountain of youth
 The Argentine dress better look bet ter and have finer manners than any other wom- en in the world They are enchanting creatures. and even now Europe Is learning of their great charm and beauty. They are fond of home life and make ideal mothers, although they are not domestic to a sordid degree, They are as fond of society the women of the United States, only they are absolutely without the faintest trace of snobbishness, which is probably due to their breeding. They are wonderfully we'll in- formed and we'll bred women, and strangely enough their social obligations are never such as to interfere with their home life.
 They are peasure-loving people, fond of mu- sic drama and entertainment. The latest styles brought over from Paris, which is responsl- ble for the introduction of the first artists of Europe, who frequently heard in Buenos Ayres before they come to the United States. The people of Argentina make less of their three weeks sail to France than we do of our one weeks sail They are very fond of Paris, and adopt customs and manners from the French than from Americans or English.
 The South American is becoming a great factor abroad She has attracted the at tention of shopkeepers, for she is rich as the North American and even more lavish with her money and grace. for she has duty to pay on her purchases and spends her millions with an open hand She loves rich and beautiful things, and wears her clothes well with great deal of dash and splendor, that the great modstes and milliners have been turned away from the North American beauty and her scrimping pur- chases because of her duties and pouring all their amiability upon the belles from Argentina and Brazil. and Chile. For oh, they are rich! And they growing richer with their mines and vast herds of cattle and sheep and their rubber and coffee plantations their new railroads and real estate deals and all sorts of other enterprises that make for sudden and vast wealth fin countries.
 The rich South American woman makes Paris her playground One rarely finds her in London. She does not like England CT the English but Paris and the French people just suit her, she. like them. is of the Latin race, with all the warmth and gayety of such people.

COTTON PRICES

Few Reactions as Quotations

There was even a more active and eX-
cited demand in the cotton market here
yesterday, and prices made new high
ground for the movement, with most
months establishing new high records for
the season. May contracts, for instance
sold up TO 14l5c, while December de-
liveries sold at 12s1c. or 81 rs a bale above
the low records established early In the
spring. This advance was due TO increas-
