Snamed as she was, Lucy felt a
spark OF resentment within her breast
Did Mrs. Cramer guess, she who spent
ner money so lavishly upon her
clothes, what such a gown as that
meant to working-girl? Could she
picture the thrill, the happiness. the
brief hours wearing of it had given
her?
Before she could answer, however.
Tom was at her side, and Lucy was
conscious that the band had begun to
play again. Tom offered her his arm
and the two glided away. And Lucy
tried to forget everything in that short
dance, to live her heaven until the
denouement. That must come soon.
for the look on Mrs. Cramer's face
boded no good; even now she seemed
to be speaking with the rector.
The dance over, Tom led Lucy to a
seat beneath an overhanging palm.
Dear" he said, taking her hand.
my salary is going to be raised to
twenty-five beginning with the New
Year. And, Lucy"
There was no possibility of misinter-
pret1ng the look in her sweetheart's
eyes. Only an instant the girl hest
tated; then she let her head fall upon
her lovers shoulder, and the happy
tears blinded her. And Mrs. Cramer
was clean forgotten.
Until Lucy, aroused by Toms hur-
riedly withdrawing the arm that was
around her waist, started up to see
Mrs. Cramer and the rector passing
them. The look on the rectors face
was a mixture Of amusement and at
tention; it was easy to see that
Reverend Mr. Harris at least under
stood something of the tribulations of
a working girls life.
AS they passed, the rector turned
and spoke to Lucy.
Miss Erroll," he said, 'T- believe
Mrs. Cramer would like to speak to
you in few moments"
"Yes, will go to her." murmured
the girl, mechanically. And after Tom
had led her back to the ballroom Lucy
went over again to where Mrs Cramer
was seated majestically upon the dais
again.
Perhaps Lucy, on her part, erred in
her Interpretation of rich woman's
heart, for into Mrs. Cramer's there had
come sudden realization of the af-
fair. She had had her own romance
once upon q time; she had seen Tom
with his arm around Lucy's waist, and
the few kindly words of the rector,
when she told him of the affront, had
driven away her ill-humor like mists
before a breeze.
my DEAR" she said, extending her
hand to the girl, 81 am sorry for what
/ said to you. didn't know. And now
want you to accept that gown as q
little wedding present from me,
won't you?"
Lucy looked up and tried to answer
But her eyes were SO blinded with
tears that she did not see Mrs. Cramer
until that lady stopped and kissed
her.

ONE-THIRD CROP
GEORGIA PEACHES
THIS FRUIT WILL BE SCARCE
BUT WILL COMMAND A
FINE PRICE.

Peaches will be scarce and high in
Georgia this year Also in other parts
of the country, where Georgia peaches
are priced.
The Macon News has the following
on the condition of the crop:
"The entire crop in this state will
hardly exceed $500 cars, according
to the estimates of the growers today,
based on their appraisal of the dam
age done by the freeze and killing
frost yesterday morning.
"Messrs. FELTON, Hatcher and f. ].
Willingham of Macon. and Wright
and Troutman of Fort Valley, and
other large fruit growers do not be-
lieve that the crop will be much over
one-third of normal.
at has been definitely ascertained by
examination of the blooms, that the
frost has practically wiped out the
Early Belle crop and has injured the
Hiley Bellies and Elbertas to an appre-
ciabe extent Before the freeze, about
$500 cars were expected from the
Georgia crop, but now it is not be
lieved that over $500 cars will be pro-
duced. This will mean high prices and
the sale of every crate. ~
Some of the fruit gr vers are still
sanguine over the prosp, I. They say
that a one-third crop VII still give
them profit, since the peaches will
command a higher price than if the
crop had been normal.
1T is declared that this is the first
time in many years that the crop has
been devastated without any previous
warning. The freeze WI absolutely
unexpected, coming wi en- warmer
weather was looked for. Previously,
there had not been the slightest men
ace to the crop from weather condi-
tions."

Seven Belgian refugees taken on

LOzADA ASKS eOL ID
 DEHI VILLA REvERsEs
(By Benjamin Franklin Fly)

The CarranZa wave, started the day after the recent Peace Conference. seems to have shot its bolt
 As pointed out in these columns, the past few days an entirely errone- ous impression has been spread broad cast by Carranza agents that the Villa troops were disintergating and form ing into bands of bandits.
 As matter of fact, these bands of cattle thieves, assassins and murders have all been traced direct to Car ranza army camps, and it is to SUD- press them that Villa is now sending a strong body of well-trained soldiers to reinforce Governor-General MaylU rena of Sonora. Late reports indicate that Maytorena already has General Gales on the run. Villa is expected to finish the job with neatness and dispatch.
 Mexican Consul J. R. Lozada, who left Yuma yesterday for his new post of duty at Calexico, at noon today sent the following self-explanatory mes sage:

 I kindly request that you deny the report of the evacuation of Durango, Torreon and Chihuahua by the Con- ventionaiist (Villa) army. There is not a word of truth in it. We still trary are absolute falsehoods.

 i There is a premium offered for practically everything raised, grown or made that one can think of, even including 21 prizes for babies up to years old.

The New Blouses

There are very few of the newest
blouses which do not show touch of
black on them somewhere, whether 1t be
on the collars and cuffs, at the throat or
embroidered on the sleeves The most
attractive blouses are trimmed very sim
ply. Novelty buttons and velvet bands
at the neck take the place of the elabo-
rately lace trimmed creations of last sea-
son. The valenciennes insertions and ac-
Gordon plated rufflings which used to
worry the home laundress are gone for
ever. Sheerness of fabrics and elegance
of line have successfully replaced all the
unnecessary grandeur of those days.
One dainty little blouse Is made OF the
seasons favorite material - Georgette
crepe. The embroidery is done in black
floss in the attractive shadow stitch. This
looks something like outline stitch on the
outsisle, and shows through the thin
blouse in a very pretty manner Flesh
pink embroidery Is combined with this
The high collar Is held in place by mar
row soutache braid. which ties at the
throat. This is finished off with two OF
the buttons which close the front of the
blouse A vest effect is given to the
blouse by the small tucks which are to be
seen in the front. The cuffs are fastened
TO the rest of the sleeve by means OF a
tiny row of hemstltching. The whole
thing is so charmingly simple that it
needs very little trimming.

Idle Gossip About Ones Neighbors
By

Toward midday a man is seen to go
into the modest abode of the Smiths
Descriptions concerning him vary as tho
enthusiasm Of the nelshborhood varies
but ali are certain he was fearsome-
looking parsonage and that he boded i'll
to the unfortunate Smiths.
About an hour later, Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith come forth in company with the
strange man, and Mr.. Smith has a wild
and hunted look. There is a bandage
round part Of his face, too. The neigh
borhood is thrilled to the core. Surely
this Is clear evidence of struggle OF
some sort A look OF asonlzed sorrow,
of anguish. is surely imprinted on the
rather commonplace features OF Mrs.
Smith. There is a tragedy here.
The odd trio walk rapidly in tho direc-
tion Of the station. MIR. Smith in the
centre with his hand up to his face.
Poor fellow, he doesn't want us to see
him." the neighborhood decides. at looks
as IL he had done something! Who can

arm be-"
And so the story grows and grows, BY
early afternoon it has assumed gigantic
proportions Poor Mr.. Smith, there are

criminal, and that only after n dreadful
struggle has the gallant plain de-
tective man collared him, while others

whose keeper has Just tracked him to
his new abode.
All sorts of interesting additions and
queer details come to light, until the
story is so thrilling that it ought to be
handed down to posterty in the form of
a blood-and-thunder romance.
But al night when Mr.. and Mrs. Smith
come homo together arm in arm, smiling
and apparently quito happy, the neigh
borhood stands at its doors and behind
its windows perplexed. What can have
happened to bring about this peaceful
ending?
And when they learn that poor Mr..

and that Mrs. Smith had insisted on

come around and diagnose the case, they
are sadly disappointed. For the trip up
to town in company with the doctor
friend was evidently only for tho solo
reason and intent of having the unruly
member removed.
And many. many hectic tales end In
this very prosaic way, proving the folly
and the insanity of this incessant gossip
about ones neighbors.
