Certainly the little girls were very

a somewhat .lbdued air about them,
however. and Archibald spoke of it.

They need woman's direction and

"You don't give them work and they
like it, explained Archibald MARY,

Mrs. Burton 3weetly.

'Oh, dear!"

those girls the advantage of your kind

Face to face for the first time in fif-
teen years with his almost forgotten
early love, Mr. Archibald Newton
raised his hat politely and his face be-
came pleasant. The lady shook hands
with him and smiled with a genuine
greeting for an oldtime friend.
"a happy surprise" remarked Arch
ibald. Some changes since you and
last met. Married, of course?"

But I do" replied he, with rath-
err proud wave. of his hand, including
within its scope fair acres enclosed

And friends, | hope, as we always

eyes and he sighed.

looking woman" commented Archi-
bald as they parted for the time be-

Il always thought Archibald hand

herself. He's more so than ever
now"
And Archibald smiled with warmth
and Mrs. Burton simpered, and it
frightened the moment for both in a
pleasing happy way.
In about a week the Burtons moved
into their new home. Mrs. Burton ex-
planned that she had seen it adver-
tised and had purchased it on the rec
ommendation of a lawyer friend. She
had never dreamed of the good for
tune of getting next door to helpful
accommodating old friend.

CalIinu Cards.

Formal correspondence has suffered
a change this year, brought about
perhaps by the change of attire. One
point especially noticeable is that
women's visiting cards are somewhat
smaller than usual, due to the fact
that they must fit into smaller mesh
bags than heretofore. Girls cards are
likewise one size smaller than those
of their married sisters, and perhaps
because of society's superstition they
are no longer engraved. Again, they
gnay have a delicate touch of color.

SOCIETY WOMEN ACT
 AS FASHION MODELS

Bar Harbor, Me-, Aug. 25.-Soclety here will entertain itself this evening in a decidedly novel manner. A fash ion show will be given at the Swim ming club. Fashion shows themselves are by no means novelties; but the interest in this show will be height ened by the fact that women proml- nent in society will act as models.
 Like true Parisian mannikins they vii lparade up and down for their costumes to be ogled. This is test of grace and composure not to be minimized in difficulty.
 The names of the society maids and matrons who will appear as manni- kins have not all been made public, but it is known that Mrs. John Jacob Astor will show street gown, an afternoon costume and evening dress. Three absolutely brand new autumn styles are promised.
 The proceeds of the entertainment will go to the American ambulance corps in France.
