are all necessary provisions for the
preparation of meals. There are Jars

One well-known housewife invented
an excellent device to save work. Ev-

vegetables. This woman had a nice,

SHOW THE FEET AND ANKLES
Stylss In the New Dresses Make the
Downing Of Dainty Footwear an
Absolute Necessity.

The trend Of style in the skirts and
new dresses and suits tends to q con-
tinued display Of feet and ankles.
Hence the necessity for dainty foot
wear. The new colonial pumps are In
a combination of materials and colora.
The vamps are usually of patent leath-
er or dull calfskin combined with col
ored uppers or inlays of suede, figured
cloth or kid. The principal colors are
champagne and fawn.
The latest button slipper or low shoe
Is made Of putty-colored antelope and
black patent leather. with sandal
straps and buttons. The shoe dts high
over the instep. with a snug at up to
the ankle and an ornamental ankle
strap. The latest novelty in evening
slippers Is made of black satin en-
broidered in silver. crystal beads and
rhinestones. Buckles are not 30 prom
inent. and all ornaments are very
small.

CHAPTER VIII.


W. RUUUVOsO0gys
About this time Blossy developed Q
tendency to draw Brother Abraham
aside at every opportunity. convenient
or inconvenient In order to put such
questions % these to him:
Didn't you say It IL fully thirty i've
years since you and Captain Darby
were ON the beach togetherf Do you
think he has grown much olderf Had
he lost his hair theni Did he care
for the opposite sexf Was he very
brave-or would you say more brave
than stubborn and contrary? Isn't It
. blessir~ that never married himf :"
Fearful Of the ridicule of the sisters.
Blossy was always careful to conduct
these inquiries in whispers. or at least
in undertones with great observance
of secrecy. sometimes stopping Abe on
the stairs. sometimes reckoning him
to her side when she was busy about
her household tasks on the pretense of
requiring his assistance. On one &C.

she wound the violet worsted into q

he protested that he had never paid

Alas. Blossy's frequent tete-a.tetes
with the amused but sometimes imna.
tient Abraham started an exceedingly
foolish suspicion. When. asked the
sisters of one another, did Abe ever
