her part, a ladylike way which is plS.n-
er than words can SPEAK: Your I'M
worthiness has not broken this heart!"
Most all men are chivalrous by nature.
Few if any would be base enough to
look down upon a worthy girl for
this cause. Pity is akin to love. She
seems more beautiful and more re-
fined, because of her pitiful treatment
and her return of good for evil.
Silence was golden to her. She
could not be induced to go from one
end of the town to the other and to
rake him over tho Goals, as he de-
served. She avoided him when she
could. Her face wore sweet express
sion and she did not despise all men
on account of one mans doing. FIR.
Right was one of the many whom
she appealed to. He took an active
part in aiding needy charities; made
unknown contributions to the poor
and suffering. 1t proved best and
providential that her former lover
freed her, as it was the means of gain
ing better and devoted husband, who
dearly appreciated her true value by
making her life rosy and happily
blest.

Panama Canal Tolls.

All vessels using the Panama canal
pay toll according to the system Of
toll rates decreed in the proclamation
of the president, November IA. 1912.
There is no discrimination in favor
of the United States or any other ma
ton. The rates are as follows: On
merchant vessels carrying passengers
or cargo, $1.20 per net vessel ton
each 100 cubic feet-of actual earn
ing capacity; on vessels in ballast
without passengers or cargo, 40 per
cent less than the rate of tolls for
vessels with passengers or cargo;
upon naval vessels, other than trans
ports, GOLFERS, hospital ships, and
supply ships, so cents per displace-
ment ton; upon army and navy trans
ports, Golfers, hospital ships, and
supply ships, $1.2O per net ton; the
vessels to be measured by the same
rules as are employed in determining
the net tonnage of merchant vessels.

The crisp days of autumn spur
women up to the consideration of their
needs, or desires, in furs, and the fur
riers' shop is soon caught in it's an
nual whirlwind of business. In order
to anticipate the rush, the stores and
shops show advance models in August
and advertise special values. A good
many sales are made then, but not
enough to relieve the pressure later.
But styles become established, at any
rate, and certain furs become leaders,
quite often making quick advance in
price.
For the present season all furs are
fashionable. Skunk or martin stands
close to the head, with mink in the
same class. Opossum fur, especially
as a trimming, has sprung into a sud
den vogue; fox of every variety is
selling freely and good Hudson seal
brings higher price than ever.
Martin and mink are among the
hard furs. That is, they will wear
longer than many others, and they
bring a higher price than the less
durable, or soft furs. But this is not
an invariable rule, for certain rare

species of fox fur bring fabulous
prices.
Neckpieces are moderate in width
and length and many of them are de-
cidedly short, worn about the neck
like a high choker collar, with a
short end hanging at the back ana
one at the side. A straight neckp1ece
is worn close up about the neck with
ends crossing and both hanging at
the back. lf 1E
Muffs are worn in several sizes, put
fashion clings to the larger ones.
They are round or barrel-shaped and
few fancy shapes and patterns have
been introduced.
A fine set of mink is shown in the
picture. It is a conservative design,
as it should be in such choice furs,
for fine furs are somewhat independ-
ent of the whims of fashion.
When furs are to be selected an
expert Judge of quality will be needed,
since there are so many grades of the
same kind. Their value is consider
ably influenced by fashion, but the
rarest furs-sable, mink, ermine and
rare fox-constantly grow more valu-
able.

and that he takes pain to instill in
her mind that he thinks great deal
Of her. Often he gives her to under

of any young woman he has ever met.

Ing considered betrothal, nor even hav-

has made quite an impression upon
him.
If he is far-seeing young man, he
believes in calling constantly upon the
girl who is pleasing and makes his
visits enjoyable, concluding that he
has plenty of time and opportunity to
consider whether his heart shall be
given into her keeping or not. He
cons over the selfish fact that, as he
Is heart-whole and fancy-free, he is
at liberty to pay attention to first one
girl, then another, perhaps, until he
comes to propose.
While their prospects are unsettled,
girls should be earnestly advised not
to allow their thoughts of love to
dwell upon him captive-like. There
In lies the source of many heartache.
During the love time, naturally, bright
young women choose a sunny day to
have their photographs taken, in their
prettiest fetching white frock and rib
bon bows, coquettish looking hats, the
dainty costume looking too sweet for
anything; captivating those who are
privileged to look upon the smiling
face of the picture proudly shown. The

tent. Usually they refuse to return
pictures or part with them.

M ERRY WIVES.

| walked in the world with the worldly;
1 craved what the world never gave,
| And 1 said: "In the world each ideal
That shines like a star on lifes wave
| Is wrecked on the shores of the real
And sleeps like dream in a grave"
There are women whose only de-
light consists in leading a merry life,
| planning ahead for every day and
evenings amusement. The more they
go among gay pleasure throngs the
| more they want to be in their midst.
| They assume an air of sunshine and
the fragrance of roses is about them.
If their lives ever had desire to
change into busy, important spheres
Of womanhood, this dear privilege
| seems denied them through their 60
ings, which they cannot break away
from.
The women who have reached this
stage should not be blamed, and ex-
amples of useless lives pointed out by
those who do not consider the cause
and effect of what takes them into the
path of never-ceasing revelry. Quite
a number of these fair women who are
lovers of sport have in their hearts re-
solves, thoughts, rich, mellow and OF
deep appreciation for their loved ones,
the stay-at-home folks, who do not
leave the hearthstone any oftener
than they are obliged to.
Very often they are married to men
whose dispositions and fancies are
just the opposite to their own. The
regret of one or both since they wed
is that no dear little one has come to
their household tc hold their devotion
within the four walls of their home.
This is the serious drawback which
has led her to seek solace and pass
away time merrily in the outside live
ly world.
The merry wife Is popular and
never lacks an opportunity to push
forward as an attraction, added to her
alluring knack of making herself beau
tiful, together with adopting pleasing
styles. The seasons of merry wives
pass by with countless rapidity. The
first few seasons she is full of vim,
radiant over the idea that she has
taken the shine off from her young
woman rivals. Conquests by the
score she knows she has made. Bache-
lors, married men, those who have
come in contact with her, have never
missed paying homage to her merry
moods. She expected this sort Of life
to go on and last from one season to
another.
AS they winged their swift flight by
the merry wife at length looked long
and earnestly into her faithful mir
ror, realizing the truth. Youth and its
purposeless years have fed; beauty
she can no longer boast of. IT has
faded under the relentless hand of
time and artifice. With hands clinched
lightly, lips too mute for a sob, eyes
too dry for a tear, she faces the in
evitable-the problem of what she had
better turn to the rest of her years,
the misspent, merry life which opened
out so rosily. She is not lonely now
in her home She creates a. new in
terest in home and dear ones. There
is a grateful exchange of deep true
love, which experience has taught is
wifes only happy tie that is lasting
and full of tender sentiment and devo-
ton. Husbandlike, he is glad she
took her time to find this out.

as eclipse phenomena are concerned.
Usually there are four eclipses each
year, two of the sun and two of the

No one is so accursed by fate,
No one so utterly desolate,
But some heart, though unknown.
Responds unto his own.
It has often been noticed with con-
siderable wonder that the fairest of
girls to look upon has possibly been
left alone in loves race at some one
time by a tickle lover. At the time
when he took his departure it
seemed that there was no more trying
position the wide world over for the
girl to find herself placed in than this
turn in her devotion. There is moth
ing more appalling than faithless
lover.
She must face foes and dear ones
alike, knowing that they are scrutiniz-
ing her bearing at such time. Cos
sips, too, must come in for their share
of n.eddling. The girl has much Of
her proper pride and spirit left; this
has never failed in coming to her
rescue.
There were circumstances that she
could not control which prevented her
from staying away from places where
she would unfortunately be likely to
meet him with another whom he had
chosen. She resolves that her wisest
course to pursue is to school herself
to meet the ordeal and to get through
it bravely, holding her head high. The
man who without just cause jilts the
woman who has learned to love him
is not worthy of the least respect from
her or one heartthrob from her bosom.
Such man should not observe, by the
faintest sign or word, that she has a
remnant of love left for him in her
wronged heart or that he has the least
place in her regard. She conceals the
resentment and bitterness from show
ing, for that would but humiliate her
the more.
Her only course to pursue is to treat
him entirely as if he were newcomer
she knew scarcely anything of. This
would require polite Indifference en-
