opufence or 1uxury-just to be near
such sweet natures, to toll for them,
to love them-this, simply, was the
aspiration of her childlike, loyal ma
ture!
All that afternoon the madame
pOked and ferreted about the place.
When her husband came home she
held a spirited low-toned conversation
with him. Then both of them pro
ceeded to ransack pile after pile of
hitherto unassorted wreckage.
A quick token of interest came into
the mind of Floribel, as she saw them

where she could overhear what was

rasping tones of old Jacobs.

world as Floribel was, she realized
from what followed that her avari'
cious guardians were bent on vast
Matchmaking scheme. Her mind woke
up to the immensely of the occasion.
To celebrate their discovering a
out for liquor. 1t was long after dark
when they sank into a sodden sleep.
Floribel approached the recumbent
madame.
She had noticed where she had Sc
creted the blue colored document
with white ribbon encircling it, just
as Mr.. Willis had described. Her
eyes grew brilliant as two stars as
she secured the precious paper. She
thrust it into her bosom.
Over and over again she repeated
the name and address that Arlo Willis
had written on the card.
Floribel rarely went out of the
wretched building where she had
toiled so hard 1t was a bitter cold
night, and her ragged shoes and thin
covering poorly kept at bay the fierce
biting frost. Twice as she hurried
along she felt as if she would sink to
the ground, benumbed and overcome.
Bravely, however, she fought her way
against the wintry blast. She located
the address given on the card, a great
ornate mansion on fashionable thor
oughfare Floribel had just sufficient
strength to totter up the steps and
ring the doorbell, when her senses
reeled and she sank to the cold
| marble step, unconscious.
There she had been found by Mrs.
Neal Floribel awoke to find herself
in luxurious bed, beautiful lady
lowering over her. What loving
grateful arms inclosed her, as she told
her Story-SO simple IN Its naive re-
cital, but meaning so much to the
proud Willis family!
And it was in silken attire, trans
formed Floribel, that Arlo Willis saw
the lovely ward of his sister the next
day.
Like one transported to a perfect
paradise, the sweet little waif entered
upon her new life.
Her bright ways, her gratitude, her
beauty and then her fervent love ap-
pealed to the great nature of Arlo
Willis.
The Jacobs people never saw her
again, but society did. In all her brill
liant loneliness, loyal, unspoiled, radi-
antly happy, the humble child of the
lonely rag warehouse became the
reigning bride of the season.

Mrs. Walter Pulitzer of New York,

Mrs. Pulitzer was one of the first to
see the possibilities of the dance
vogue and her dances, on account OF
their distinctiveness and original fea-
lures, have been the talk of the smart
people in the East. She says that the
present dance craze will ultimately
prove cure for the divorce evil, as,

patton of harmless pastime (such as
ballroom dancing) fewer husbands
and wives will go wrong.
