FINANClERS OF TWO TYPES
The Ascetic Who Lives Only for the
Accumulation of Wealth Has
His Opposite.

An English clergyman pictures the
American financier as an ascetic. Such
a type lives sparely in an Office with

Strickland. There was a vivid color
in her cheeks; as she smiled, her
white, even teeth reminded him of
pearls Her hair was tastefully ar
ranged, her figure made up to the per
feet outline of a dressmaker's model.

set out strong enough to win her"
mused John. Her husband looks as
useless and ninny-like as usual. And
they say she got a hundred thousand
dollars from her fathers estate.
Lucky Cyl"
John felt misused and very much
abused. He was not tired of sweet,
loyal Mary; he would not trade"
with Cy Alison If basket full of dia-
monds was thrown into the bargain!
STILL John was in just that mood
where the dull ends of home life
looked more somber than usual. On
the other hand, the sight of the be-
jeweled, brilliant-looking woman who
had once held his affections quite
dazzlad him. John wandered down
the street aimlessly, dreaming.
"Oh, say, Mr.. Strickland" sang out
a sudden voice.
why, It's Nat, isn't it?" inquired
John, always kindly and cordial in
his greetings and especially SO with
children.
1t was a child, a little fellow of
about ten, a cripple, wheeling himself
across the walk towards John in his
invalid chair, who accosted him.
See here" said little Nat, u found
this just now"
He extended a silver-netted purse
and John stared at it and awaited
an explanation.
Where did you get it, Nat?" he in
quired.
I'm the road, 1t was right after an
auto went by"
"Whose?"

"Oh, indeed murmured John, and
he now took the dainty trife in his
hand, glanced over it curiously and

"Oh, sure it was" declared Nat

taking it to the owner for me?"
"H'ml" hesitated John. Then, acting
on quick impulse. he added: yes,
I'll do that. Nat"
SO John took the silver purse, placed
1t In his pocket and started down the
street. His color had heightened He

MODES IN MILLINERY
JUST NOW THE STYLES ARE
SOMEWHAT CONTRADICTORY.
Both Large and Small Hats Seem to
Be Strictly Observation-Disclosures
Raised by the Use OF
Monkey Fur.

Millinery vogues are entering upon
their solstice period.
First we see wide-brimmed hats
with low crowns haringly trimmed
with highetanding fantasies or with
their brims entertaining grouped trim
mings Of flowers of patent or oil-cloth
manufacture.
Again. there comes into view a
series OF small hats more tiny than
any seen this season.
Fashion DEGREES In one breath big
hats for incoming vogues and contra
diets herself In the next breath by
showing the daintiest most convs-e-
ingly chic hats OF the most dimlnutive
types seen for months. And 80 II goes.
At the Grand Prix de Chantilly, the
majority of shapes worn with frocks
of an elegant severity and OF perfect
style values we're small TO a vanishing
point, nearly, Almost all Of these hats
were made OF white satin, white vel
vet, white, shiny oil-cloth, such as is
used for kitchen table coverings In
most American households, and with
or without very narrow hemp brims.
A tall interrogative looking feather
of eingle-blessed loneliness and Of
black, black and white, or all white,
would be the only decoration for the
most extreme-styled types.
Other trimmings used were OF self
materials or of fruits and foliage Of
weirdly appearing guise.
Lace and even fur trimmings we're
also in evidence, but the most peculiar,
uncanny effect noticed, and withal
quite the newest in consequence, was
the hat Of bowlerehaped hemp COW
cred with white satin and with the
crown encircled with an outstanding
piece OF black monkey fur.

Black velvet-topped hats we're also

reckoned with. Later on black satin
hats, in derivation of the well-known
tricorne shapes, will appear. But Of
these, more will be said later on.
Fashions for hats, mesdames, are IN
the very flux of their making.

WHAT JOHN ESCAPED
BY MILDRED CAROLINE GOOD
RIDGE.

Mary looks old and worm" said
John Strickland TO his brother
Ephraim.
Should think she would" retorted
Eph. Say, John, this has been an
imposition-our family landing down
on you this way"
We'll, you're welcome. aren't your"
demanded John.
Your wife has surely made US 80
dear womanl She's a prize, a jewel
but 20 harbor and work out her life
for her husbands folks-no more OF
that! We're going home tomorrow"
John said nothing, stalking away.
He was in a cross mood. II was true
that Mary looked old and worn. A
true-hearted, loyal little woman, che
had set herself at work TO give her
visitors the time Of their lives. They
were Johns relatives and nothing was
too good for them.
So no wonder that she looked tired
and faded For nearly three weeks
she had barely found time TO change
her dress daytimes. AS to hair frills-
none Of that, surely! She had ignored
fixing up" OF necessity, until she had
appeared almost homely to John.
And that afternoon something cross
grained had hit John-hard. He had
just been noticing the tired but smil-
ing face Of his wife, when an automo-
bile sped by. It contained a chauf-
feur and two others The others were
Mr.. and Mrs. Alison.
They we're old residents of the town,
but had left five years previous to live
in the city. Now they we're coming
back to the old Booth homestead.
John Strickland, peering past a lilac
bush, noticed Cy Alison, smartly
dressed and of prim dignity, seated be-
side his wife-she that had been Myra
Booth.
John stared. He had not seen Mrs.
Alison for over five years. She had
been his first flame. She had treated
him pretty mean in discarding after
encouraging him. John had got all
over that calf love speedily, however.
Just now, though, a queer thrill per
vaded him.
why, she looks as young-yes,
younger, than when l last saw her!"
he was forced to calculate.
Certainly, at a distance, Mrs. All
son was a vivid contrast to Mary

Women to Build Chapel

The National Shrine of the Immacu-
late Conception is to be the name Of
the chapel which Catholic women Of
the United States will erect at the
Catholic university in Washington.
The money will be collected, not in
large gifts, but in small sums from all
the Catholic women of the country,
through the National Organization of
Catholic Women, OF which Mrs. Henry
w. Taft, sister-in-law of former Presi-
dent Taft, is the president. About
$50, 900 Of the s5OO,OOO required has al
ready been received.

TO HOLD SMALL ACCESSORIES
Excellent Idea for the Division Of Blu
reau Drawers Into Suitable
Compartments

Old-fashioned bureaus and dressing
tables used TO have a supply Of small
drawers or else had the large TOP

tie compartments suitable as recepta.
cles for gloves. handkerchiefs and
other such small accessories which are
easily lost or mixed up.
The modern girl is expected to keep
a supply of fancy cretonne-covered
boxes on top of her dresser to hold
these articles, but as such boxes soon
soil or become overcrowded it has re
mained for somebody to invent de.
tachable wooden framework, bottom
less and hdless, which may be covered
with cretonne and laid in the drawer.
A homemade contrivance on the
same order may be manufactured at
home by means of a number of shallow
cigar boxes or even strong pasteboard
boxes of a uniform size stitched or
tackled firmly together and covered
with cretonne. If cigar boxes are used
they must be thoroughly aired and
scented to remove the fragrant aroma
which, while pleasant, is hardly suit
able as a sachet for milady's toilet ac-
cessories. Such a set of boxes, how
ever, will make a nice gift for a man
to hold ties, handkerchiefs and trink'
cts.
II the framework is manufactured at
home, it should measure not more than
eighteen inches long by twelve wide,
and the compartments can be gauged
by what they are intended to hold

much as she liked them. The Barone
had not yet proposed, and his sudden
determination to return TO Rome elimi-
mated this disagreeable possibility.
She was glad Abbott was going be-
cause she had hurt him without inten-
tion, and the sight of him was. in spite
OF her innocence, a constant reproach.
Presently she would have her work,
and there would be no time for loneli-
ness.
The person who suffered keenest
was Celeste. She was awake; the ten
der little dream was gone; and bravely
she accepted the fact Never her agile
fingers stumbled, and she played re-
markably WELL from Beethoven,
Chopin, Grieg, Rubinstein, Mcdowell.
And Nora, perversely enough, sang
from old light opera.
When the two men departed, Celeste
went to her room and Nora out upon
the terrace. It was after five: No one
was about, SO far as she could see.
She stood enchanted over the trans
formation that was affecting the noun
tains and the lakes. How she loved
the spot! How she would have liked
TO spend the rest of her days herel
And how beautiful all the world was
today!
She gave a frightened little scream.
A strong pair of arms had encircled
her. She started to cry out again, but
the sound was muffied and blotted out
by the pressure of a mans lips upon
her own. She struggled violently, and
suddenly was freed.

He addressed most of this to the
back of her head, for she was already
walking toward the villa into which
she disappeared with the proud air of
some queen of tragedy. She was a
capital actress.
A heavy hand fell upon Court
landt's shoulder. He was irresistibly
drawn right about face.
Nov, then, Mr. Courtlandt," said
Harrigan, his eyes blue and cold as
ice, perhaps you will explain?"
With rage and despair in his heart,
Courtlandt flung off the hand and an
swered: Il refuse!"

"In the bottom of one Of Nora's
trunks is set of my old gloves. There
will not be anyone up at the tennis
court this time of day. If you are not
a mean cuss, If you are not an ordinary
low-down imitation of a man, you'll
meet me up there inside of five min

me for ten minutes, you need not
make any explanations. On the other
hand, you'll hike out Of here as fast

than you, Mr.. Harrigan."
"Oh, don't let that worry you any"
with truculent laugh.
Very well. You will find me there.
After all, you are her father"

Harrigan stole into his daughters
room and soundlessly bored into the
bottom of the trunk that contained the
relics of past glory. AS he pulled them
forth, folded oblong strip of parch-
ment came out with them and fiut-
tered to the floor; but he was too
busily engaged to notice it, nor would
he have bothered if he had: The bot
tom of the trunk was Uttered with old
letters and programs and operate
scores. He wrapped the gloves in a
newspaper and got away without be-
ing seen, He was as happy as a boy
who had discovered an opening in the
fence between him and the apple or
chard. He was rather astonished to
see Courtlandt kneeling in the clover
patch, hunting for a four-leaf clover.
1t was patent that the young man was
not troubled with nerves.
"Here!" he cried, brusquely, tossing
over pair of gloves. If this method
Of settling the dispute isn't satisfac-
tory, I'll accept your explanations"
For reply Courtlandt stood up and
stripped to his undershirt. He drew
on the gloves and laced them with
the aid of his teeth. Then he kneaded
them carefully. The two men eyed
each other little more respectfully
than they had ever done before.

PATCHWORK NOT QUITE DEAD
Has Lost Much of Its Old-Time Popu-
larity, But Can Count on
Periodic ReViVals.

There is nothing like the old-fash-
ioned patchwork quilt for use with
four post bed. Even though the bed
be a copy only of the antique, the
Quilt needs to be of the same era,
especially if the room is furnished
with rag rugs. Now and then at fairs
and among private customs one
finds a woman who knows how to
make rag carpets and mats, and there
is nothing more appropriate for the
bedroom floors of the summer cottage.
Patchwork has periodical revivals,
nut even then 1t Is never entirely out
of fashion. Many women today hoard
scraps Of silk for this purpose, as
their mothers, grandmothers and
great-grandmothers did before them.
It is possible to keep pieces of GER
tain colors for certain quilts, thus
using blue and white for one room or
pink and white for another. Appliques

tired Of waiting for a response to his

Slowly, then, John Strickland arose
to his feet He could not help but note
Mrs. Alison standing before a mirror.
He was startled, almost shocked. The
lady was heated and dusty after her
automobile ride. She rubbed her face
with a handkerchief and it seemed TO
take away it's false youthful bloom.
She removed the upper set Of teeth
that had so reminded John OF pearls
Then she removed some Of her hair.

And Mary blushed till her comely
