for them. The most practical are the
simple ones that can be laundered
easily. They are no trouble to MAKE
so that every woman may supply her
self with these gay and becoming gar
ments.
The very simplest of designs Is
shown in the picture given here. 1t
is cut by kimono pattern and made
of figured cotton crepe showing
small rosebud on white surface
The only seams are the underarm and
sleeve seams When these are felled,
the bottom and fronts hemmed and
the neck bound, the garment is ready
for trimming.
A ruffie of shadow lace is sewed to
all the edges. Pink ribbon an inch
and a half wide is used for fastening
the neck and the fronts. A half yard
sewed to each side ties into pretty
bows. Three yards will provide these
and small bows to set on the
sleeves as well.
The cap is made Of puff of white
null gathered on an elastic cord. A
band of the Inquired crepe Is sewed
across the front and turned back
about the face. This is one Of the
washable caps made to outlast an ex-
perience in the laundry. There are
many others, of ribbon and laces, with
frills and flower trimmings that are
prettier but less durable. 1t takes so
little to make these bits of finery,
even when ribbons and laces are used.
that most people can afford them.
The cap shown in the picture is an
excellent pattern for a sweeping or
dusting cap. No one should neglect
to protect the hair as much as pos
sible from dust, which is its worst
enemy.

from one so easily. Her thoughts flew
to her erstwhile lover, and bitter re-
gret welled up afresh in her heart.
"Oh, SAM" she walled aloud, and
cast herself across the Dashboard,
grasping the carvings opposite with
agonized white fingers.
Then suddenly an utterly unexpect-
ed, astonishing thing happened. The
carved ornament beneath her right
hand flew outward with spring. Iris

in diameter, and was filled with pa

an unintelligible language), the script
being that fine, close one of which she
had just been thinking. There were a
number of these, but, stranger still, on
top of them lay miniature in a frame
of brilliants. At this she stared long,
with fascinated, incredulous eyes. for
the face was that of the youth who

CHAPTER ~.
That Which Is No Robbery.

Meanwhile Sam Hill had flung him
self into the street, and into a state
of mind which was the reverse of en-
viable. Reason was suddenly impos-
sible. The arguments which he had
advanced to Iris but moment since
now failed him, and his one master
ing, overwhelming thought was that
he had lost her.
1t had all happened so suddenly that
the shock left him gasping. Probably
she had never really cared from the
first, he thought, for had she ever
been in love with him she could not
have dismissed him on so fiimsy a
pretext.
While this passed through his brain,
he had been walking rapidly, and after
a few moments, coming upon Wash
ington square, he flung himself upon
one of the benches near the center,
stretching his legs out straight in
front of him, folding his arms, and,
frowning under the tilted brim of his
hat, he sat moodily staring into space.
Darkness had not quite fallen yet,
and all about him poured the home,
ward-bound crowds from the neighbor,
ing shops, factories and offices-an un-
ceasing stream, varied as the nations
of the earth.
Quieter and yet more quiet grew
the square. At this hour the virtuous
| were eating in their homes, while the
wicked fed in luxury over there to the
| northwest, where already the white
| flare of middle Broadway was flung
against the darkened sky. Over all
hung the indefnable yet definite
spirit of the city! intricate, throbbing,
fraught with the joys and horrors of
civilization.
And Sam Hill still sat giowering out
| upon the scene.
"Oh, the wonder of it," said low
voice at his elbow.
With an effort Hill aroused himself
| the aching trouble in his heart pulsing
painfully at the return to conscious
ness of his own personality. Had some
one spoken to him? 1t was only his
I fancy, perhaps! Suddenly something
cool and damp and Enthusiastically alive
| thrust itself into the relaxed palm OF
his hand, causing him to start up
Then the cool thing shot forward, leav'
ing his hand upon a rough coat OF
! fur. An animal! What could it be?

alert. In the darkness beside him

LIVERY woman, young or old, likes
Il the comfortable and dainty morn
ing cap and jacket which we usually
classed as dressing sacques and break
fast caps. 1t is at the beginning OF
the day that they serve their owners
best. Nothing but the kimono jacket
is made with view to being put on IN
the shortest possible time, and no
headdress but the breakfast cap is de-
signed to make up for lack OF hair
dressing. These virtues of the cap
and jacket are enough to endear them
to the average human.
But they do more than simply add
tn ones comfort, for it is the fashion
to make the articles for the breakfast
garb of pretty, gayly colored fabrics
or of f1owered materials and to deck
them out with laces and ribbons.

said Hill jokingly. "They must be
corkers. That Old Nita, now-what
does she look like?"
"She-why she looks-she looks like
Time himself" responded the boy.
See, will show you"
Saying which, he brought out a
stump of a pencil and small pad
from some recess of his old coat of
green.
"This is Nita," said he, turning over
several pages, and handing the open
book to Hill. "Old Nita, and that next
is Beau-Jean, scolding Koko."
Hill took the proffered papers idly,
and suddenly sat very erect, examin-
ing them intently.
"Who drew these?" he inquired
after moment.
"Why, me, of course" said Pedro.
For another little space Hill was
silent, turning over the sheets in his
hand. There were perhaps twenty
sketches in the pad. From his scru-
tiny of them, he raised his eyes to
Pedro. Could the boy be telling the
truth? Had he actually drawn these
things? They were remarkable. Surely
such one as had done them would
be famous, for work like this was not
| ingly good. It was the work of born
craftsman. But Pedros face showed
no signs of uneasiness. On the con-
trary, his eyes were alight as he ex'
planned who the people were.

Pedro, suddenly self-conscious, deep
flush spreading over his face and neck.

Privately, Hill was convinced that
what Pedro needed was the opportu-
nifty. That was all. 1t was remark
able, but true. Suddenly he leaned
across the little table.
"I suppose you love that bear tre-
mendously?" he asked.
YES" said Pedro. instantly aware
of an impending development.

Pedro laughed. Then he sobered.

citement, and the warm color had
crept into his face as he spoke.

to be a sleeved garment. The In

PARSNIPS

Many people do not like the decided
flavor of parsnips, but those who do
are extravagantly fond of them.
Parsnips with bacon is a tasty dish.
For it you scrape and slice six me-

five slices of bacon (cut into small
slices) and put them in bottom of
kettle. Add parsnips and salt to taste.
Then add one teaspoon of sugar. Add
one-half cup of water and put over
fire. Keep the kettle covered for ten
minutes until all is heated through.
Remove cover and allow the water to
boil away. Stir the parsnips and al
low to slightly brown. When tender
but not cooked to pieces they are
ready to serve.

The strength OF the horse is govern
ed by the care Of the feet during the
growing stage. II your horse hobbies
along the road, don't always blame
the blacksmith, for often the trouble
is attributed to your own negligence.
1t is important properly to care for
the feet of growing colts. Careless
ness in this matter will be apt to give
your horse a crooked leg which can
never be Strengthened.
II the colts foot Is left to nature,
It will not always grow full, strong,
and perfect in form. In stony or
gravel ground the horn wears off as
fast as necessary to keep proportions,
but will not always be even. 1t
must be directed by man. Prairie
soils do not wear the feet and so
they are soft, and the horn, growing
rapidly, is not kept In shape. The
result Is that the feet split, are I'M
even, and sometimes the bony column
is changed in form. This causes the
crooked leg.

with bad feet in cities are the result
Of carelessness and negligence OF the

CAREFUL HORSEMEN WATCH COLTS FEET

In nearly every case the toes will
have to be shortened with rasp.
The frog should be left bearing upon
the ground, as this helps to spread

to touch the ground, the foot will
rapidly lose the proper shape, the
heels will contract, and the walls at
the quarters will become brittle and

does this by throwing off the dead
