To dress well on a small salary
takes q good deal of brains and Tho
ability to expend ones money 10 tho
very best advantage. It is the height
of folly to purchase cheap dress at
cheap rates; 1t will neither wear nor
look well. On the other hand good
suit, even if it does take months OF
saving to get it, is well worth the de-.
privation its purchase entails, for 1t
can always be worn two or more sea.

Fifteen minutes earlier she repaired

b favorite trysting place.
Ned came spinning along on his
bicycle, not moment late, a fine
specimen of healthy, buoyant
young man interested and happy in
his work. He swung coil of wire
and his tool bag to the road and was
over the fence in joyous leap.
Dear girl" he said fondly. and
then started at Hetty in alarm, for
she was weeping.
Bit by bit the miserable story came
oUt. He consoled her, he reiterated
his love. He said nothing of revenge
"elopement or Encouragement.

hopeful sanguine way, "all right! If

NOVEL STOCKING CASE
USEFUL ADDITION TO BELONG
INGS OF ANY WOMAN.
May Be Made of Almost Any Material
Desired-ls Much Neater Arrange
rnent Than the Loose Stock
ing Drawer.

We have had handkerchief cases,
glove cases, veil cases and comb and
brush cases, but stocking case is a
novelty. The girl who Is careless
about putting away her stockings, and
who consequently never knows where
to find certain pair, but fishes about
among bundle of stockings until she
finds what she wants, should try the
stocking case scheme. The case may
be made of any preferred material. as
linen, silk, sateen with an outer cover
ing of something sheer as wolfe, scrim
or dotted swiss, the decoration being
to suit ones fancy.
To make case holding dozen
pairs of stockings one needs a strip
about nine inches wide and over yard
long. At one end the strip is turned
up to form a pocket, and at the other
1t is cut in pointed flap. A second
strip about five inches wide and the
length of the wider one minus the
pocket is bound with ribbon or tape
on one long side. The opposite edge
Is laid even with the wider strip and
basted there. Next the double strips
are divided into IL pockets just as
one would make shoe bag. Then
all edges of the case are bound with
the selected bindings. The larger
pocket is to hold the stockings that
need darning, while the smaller ones
take one pair each rolled up smoothly
ready to put on.
AS it is difficult to keep stockings
in pairs when they are all one color,

MOI" shouted Simon Barclay in a
,bnnderous tone, crushing out the
fondest of human hopes, immovable
as rock.
His pretty niece, Hetty, covered her
e.ce with her hands and broke down
utterly in storm of tears.
"Cruel-cruel!" she sobbed.
And a last meeting with this gay
galIivanting young man-understand?"
nursued her callous-souled relative.
You are breaking my heart!"
moaned Hetty, and really believing it.
1T isn't because Ned Monroe is
after your little fortune, as most
Young fellows are nowadays"
"What-what Is it, them" faltered
poor Hetty.
yf1t's because he's an electrical
maniac. Huh-telephone! Who
heard of such thing in my young
days? Gossip-breeders, call EN-!
Worse than that-catering to laziness.
Tried to get me to put one in my
house. I'd like to see 'em! Now I've
said my say. Drop this beau, or I'll
send you off thousand miles to my
sister, where you can't see him."
Anticipated, narrow-minded Simon
Barclay had invented a new name
+ for the most estimable young man in
Redfern. He hated all innovations,
especially telephone. There was a
reason. Simon had bargained too
slowly in the purchase of piece of
property he coveted, shrewd neigh
. Dor had got to telephone and out
bid him. He hated telephones after
that, and Ned Monroe in the bargain,
for was not that energetic young man
the head linesman of the district tele-
phone plant?
Hetty moped around the house all
day. She was disconsolate If ever a
girl loved a bright intelligent young
fellow, it was she. AS to Ned, she
knew that she was to him as the
apple of his eye. She dreaded meet

Plated Skirt.

A good supplementary garment to
add to the winter wardrobe is plated
skirt Plated fabric is sold in skirt
lengths for various prices, and some OF
the shops will have plated any fabric
which you choose. 1t is neatly stitched
into band, too. so that all you need
do is to seam 1t and put on hooks

The investment in farm machinery
is increasing from year to year The
demand of farming makes this inn

The bids were very close and when they were submitted yesterday afternoon at 1 o clock, the commissioners were un- able to determine to which firm the contract would be awarded and ad- journed until 10 o'clock this morning when the work was let.
 The commissioners of the district are B. T. Deal, chairman, l.. H. Pyle, secretary, and G. E. Owen. B. G. Wilson is engineer and R. w. Robins attorney for the district.
 Although the bonds have not been sold, the contractors agreed to begin work at once and complete it before the end of the year. Messrs. Halter and McCulloch said today that a force of men would be put to work on the job either tomorrow or Thursday.
 The streets to be paved in the dis trict are the west side of the public square, from Oak to Main street, to be 45 feet in width; West Main street, from the square to Locust avenue, to be "A feet in width; Locust avenue, from Main street to College avenue; College avenue, from Locust to Center street; Center street, from College avenue to Caldwell street, all of the latter to be Is feet inwidth. There are about 13,000 square yards of paving in the district.
 The board of improvement of dis trict No. are in session this after noon. The organization of this dis trict has progressed to the same point as No. 4, and it is thought contract will be let for the work at once.
