ments and so Familiarity cordial that Kitty
almost took heart and hoped that the I'M
expected might happen. The party in the
little parlor, just off the private dining room,
was already a sight to move older hands
than Kitty to enthusiasm. The Duke and
his cousin, Captain Montagu-Reeves, were
IN those ravishing little scarlet mess jackets
and gold braided black trousers; number
of naval officers and a couple of army men
looked natty and natural in their plumage;
there was general of militia in plenitude
of gold lace; and nice assortment of cap
tains and lieutenants and things in various
distinctive uniforms from hussars to grena-
diers.
In the dressing room Kitty met Mrs.
Tindale, rosily impressive in black satin
and jet, with chaste assortment of proper
jewelry.
Dear Mrs. Tindale," she exclaimed,
"you look perfectly charming younger
than ever"
"Sweet of you, DEAR" said the widow,
concealing her annoyance. "One has to
look ones best in such distinguished COM
pany, you know. And then I'm on the
staff as it were. I'm to go in with Major
Dillon, and he's the ranking militia officer
here, after General Talbot"
Kitty could not keep the color from rising
to her cheeks. "Indeed!" she cried, rather
shrilly. I'm SO glad, Mrs. Tindale. Major
Dillon isn't the most brilliant sort of dinner
companion of course, but one likes to be in
the van, doesn't one. ] never really care
how or where l go in, but / know most
everyone is awfully keen about precedence.
Yet it's frightfully un-American, isn't it?"
The widow noted the agitation of the girl
with amusement and smiled patronizingly.
when you've been out a little longer,
DEAR" she said, you'll value precedence
more highly. l fancy was pleased, at your
age, with just something to eat and some
one to talk to-"
Kitty looked in the envelope the maid
had handed her. Mr.. Wyeth is taking me
in she said, affecting a tone of pleased
surprise.
Hes not here yet" said the widow
Kitty shuddered with fear and the recol-
lection of her last scene with Billy. "Well,
she said lightly, eff he doesn't condescend
to come, L suppose can have tea and toast
in the nursery"
Out in the parlor again it was yet gayer
and everyone seemed to have arrived except
Wyeth.
Il shall have headache and go home, if
Billy Wyeth isn't here in five minutes, said
Kitty to her father.
"Now don't get yourself into such a state
of mind, Kitty" protested Mr.. Cowles.
Everybody is in splendid humor and you
mustn't do anything to mar the occasion

that [ can stand the strain, he said. Its
wonderful what d man can stand from an
awfully pretty girl
She almost smiled ~ wouldn't be
horrid,' she said, yielding a point, if you
were not such an absurdly inconsistent man.
We all thought you were nice-mannered
young nobody for a while, and then YOU
turned out to be a 'bloomin'' aristocrat,
almost too swell for any use; and now you
Condescend to go around with lot of mill
tary men and titled foreigners, and they all
make fun of you because you think it's
smart to sCorn a commission and tramp
along the street with gun on your shout
der. You know that's the worst form of
snobbery. Your indifference to rank is an
affectation"
Wyeth still smiled maddeningly. II am
afraid, Kitty" he said, that you are
chiefly concerned over your very real dan
ger of being taken in to dinner at His
GraCe's party by mere man, trailing along
after all the highly decorated wax-works
I'll stay away altogether if you wish it.
"Please do just as you feel inclined. I
know you will, anyway. It'll really make
no difference to me whether you're at the
dinner or not. don't believe we like each
other as much as we did, anyway"
my dear Kitty" he said, 81 assure you
my feelings are quite unchanged. You are
really very disagreeable and annoying, but
from my slight knowledge of your sex I
have some hope that you will recover from
this spell of tinsel hero worship and return
to your more lovable moods. Just now I
think I'll 60 back to Minnie Ryder, who
treats me quite humanely."
ooh, dol by all means" she cried.
I'm going in, anyway. I'm going to
find that nice old widow. | begin to
think she's the only really decent person
aboard"
Until late in the afternoon of the day of
the Duke of Halbertstone's dinner, Kitty
vowed that she was too i'll to GO; but as the
evening drew near, under the caustic taunts
of none too patient father, she made
wonderful recovery and an equally wonder
full toilet. She warned her maid, as the
latter put the finishing touch to dainty
jeweled aigret in her hair, that the officers
who did not take her in to dinner must be
made to regret that they had not the priv
iege.
As Mr.. Cowles and his radiant daughter
entered the Hotel Monaton, the first person
they encountered was Major Dillon, re-
splendent as military tailor could make
him. He was in fine fettle and had appar-
entity quite forgotten the thorough snubbing
he had suffered at Halbertstone's hands at
the Thousand Islands, being one of those
fortunate mortals whom the gods have fur
nished with mysterious arnnor against the
penetration of snubs, enabling them to arise
serenely again and again to offer their
invulnerable breasts to the most merciless
snubbers.

see everything splendidly from the win

I haven't anyone to tell me about the ships

breezy out here for an old chap. Miss Kitty,
if you'll excuse me, I'll join Mrs. Tindale in
the cabin"
Kitty flushed dangerously. ooh, don't
mind me-" she cried. I'm awfully tired
really like to be alone for while
So she sat alone for while and it was
rather new experience. She marveled at
the thought of Kitty Cowles sitting on the
after deck of yacht alone, with a party of
supposedly sane people on the same yacht
After a while Billy Wyeth came along the
deck.

Minnie Ryder. She's a Jolly girl, isn't

ooh, awfully," said Kitty. IT don't sec
why you left her"
Thought you might be lonely" he said,
dropping into the chair vacated by the
Major.
"I'v, been alone long" she said.
"Mrs. Tindale-dear old mercifully
came along and took the Major away as [
was about to expire"
when looked out here few minutes
ago you were talking to the Major quite
animatedly for one about to expire" re-
marked Wyeth pointedly.
"I was defending you" said Kitty indig
nantly. "The Ma or was expressing disgust
over your going to the Duke of Halbert-
stones military dinner without having any
decent military excuse"
She hoped to make him indignant, but he
laughed heartily. "Suficient unto the
day." he said. "The dinner hasn't come
off yet, and I may astonish the Major
Kitty's eyes frightened. "What are you
going to do, Billy?" she demanded hopefully.
He smiled mysteriously.
"You are always playing unexpected
tricks, Billy. You nearly broke the poor
old Majors heart the day you stole the
Duke from his party Do tell me what you
are going to do this timer I can keep
secret"
Promise not to tell?" asked Wyeth.
Gross my hearth" whispered Kitty, with
sparkling eyes.
WELL said Wyeth portentously, II
am going to the dinner as a gentleman,
and that's something they can't all do"
Kitty was pink with anger instantly.
"That's pretty poor joke" she said
scornfully. perhaps you're hitting some
of my friends. Papa, for one, is to be
there. No doubt you think we're not
quite up to the family of an ambassador.

I'll wager he doesn't intend to miss anything
like this"
Kitty sat down in a secluded corner with
her father and talked busily with him.
"Wyeth is young ass-I've always said
SOL" declared the elderly man with growing
indignation. Il hope you will cut him abso-
lutely if he plays this sort of trick to-
night"
Kitty thought deeply and seemed to be
trying to create a Mexican draWn-work
effect in her handkerchief.

"Um,' said the Major, almost discour-
teously, and began watching the naval
spectacle anew, with a show OF interest.

Gov. VIM. T. Haines.

William T. Haines, Governor of
Maine, was introduced as a country
boy who had worked his way up to
the highest honor at his States be-
stowal." The Governor was forced to
wait some moments until the applause
subsidized.
He said he wished he might have
had time to prepare something suit
able and appropriate for the occasion
instead of racing around" as he has
done for the past fortnight. Those
who knew of his anxious endeavors
TO place a Maine trustee on the Ban
gor & Maine Railroad board and to
prevent an embargo being placed on
Maine potatoes, laughed sympathetic
ally.
The Governor expressed himself as
glad that the busy men and women
of Maine-"from Fort Kent to Kit
teryi-had come to the meeting to
boom Maine. 1T shows" he declared,
that You are interested in your
State. And why not? You live here,
don't you. They're your trees and

The genial Governor was again in
terrupted by applause and laughter.
II can't see," he clinched his argu-
ment, "why in Heavens name you
should ever talk about anything el5e!"
He did not wish to speak long as
he said he felt, having prepared Moth
ing. that the speeialsts-farners rail-
roadmen. professional men. merchants
and lumbermen-eould give more in
struetion tn their audience. But the
audience didn't agree with him. The
Governors KNOWLEDGE Of Maine is
bly, unsurpa ssed. and his interest
is l-een. His skipping from one topic
to another, showing deep insight into
their inner meanings. was just what
the crowd liked and they regretted
his stopping speaking.
The Governor protested against so
much capital being sent out OF. the
State to aid industries elsewhere and
advocated a turning to Names unde-
veloped resources.

enjoyable and instructive talk on various

by a duet by J. w. Crosby and Charles

citizens that we are looking for and
they must come from our educational

Mrs. Fred'k p. Abbott.
Mrs. Frederick p. Abbott of Saco,
president of the Maine Federation of
Women's Clubs said she was present
because she believed in the movement.
AS a representative of 5000 earnest,
honest, progressive women--women
who are a big force in the States af-
fairs and hope to be a bigger force.
There are few obstacles" said Mrs.
Abbott, that men and women work
ing in partnership cannot overcome"
She regretted the word boom" but
said that we sometimes have to do that
to progress.
She mentioned the walls said by
the Scriptures to have fallen through
concerted shouting. Perhaps" she
suggested, I'VE may overcome our diff
flculties by concerted shouting. We

DeForest Perkins.

DeForest Perkins, superintendent of
the public schools of Portland. spoke
very enthusiastically along educa-
tional lines. "The greatest industry
of which any State is engaged in is
that of education. We must train our
boys for citizenship which is the
greatest asset upon earth. In 1885,"
he said. the first free schools were es-
tablished in America in which the
attendance was compulsory. The
school system of today might prove
quite inadequate for the school Of to-
morrow. The preparation of the
school today is quite different from
the preparation of the school of yes
terday. We now recognize the mis-
take of allowing so many Of our young
men to go out of our State. We have
acted too much on the philosophy Of
our fathers. The men Of today have
strived to educate their boys too
much for the ministry and for medi-
cine neglecting to train their boys for
the development Of our State and to
assist in the development of it's natur-
al resources. The time has now come
when we demand a different prepara-
ton and that preparation for the up
lifting of the State must come from
our public schools. We must train
