Copyright. 1915, by w. C. Chapman
No one had ever come after Una
Prince-that is, in the way of lover.
She had never thought much about
herself, for her life was busy one.
Those who knew her and esteemed
her, however, marveled at the vii
lage SWANS who picked out all sorts
and conditions of girls. passing over
the jewel of the flock, in their esti-
nation.
Una was an orphan and for two
years had been housekeeper for the
parsimonious, old, grabbed, exacting.
They valued her. but they pinned her
down to an irksome servitude. Mrs.
Wendell was an invalid, and the
sheer kindness of Una's heart i'm
PEELED her to be quite daughter to
the ailing capricious old woman out
OF pure sense of duty.
1t was the social side of affairs that
depressed Una She had been used
to company. entertainments, sleighs
and skating in the wintertime, tennis
and boating in their season.
When her father died she had to
give up all these out of sheer neces-
sity. Mr. Prince had left next to
nothing and Una went to the city and
found a position as typist in stuffy
crowded little Office
Il took year to drive the velvet
bloom from her cheek and the vivac-
fly of a naturally joyous nature from
her eyes. She had sick spell and
her physician ordered her back to
the pure air and unclouded sunshine
of Brookv;lle.
Then the opportunity with the Wen
dells came her way. She was in the
kitchen of their home now, preparing
cake. She hummed a pretty cheer
full tune as she went about her Ia
bors. Then. burst of girlish laughter
from the next yard caused her lip to
culver slightly and her fair brow
clouded. The residence beyond the
next dividing hedge was occupied by
a wealthy young widow, Mrs. Nal
lory, who had rented it for a summer
home. She had invited numberless

the sight of the man lying like lumI

at her hand as a sharp pain shot
through it and a warm, tricky sensa
ton accompanied it. She wavored
fain. and shocked, as she roticed that
a piece of the flying glass had cut E
long, deep essl. in her wrist. Mr.

Una struggled through the hedge,
but she was swaying unsteadily as
she reached a rustic bench and sank
to it, to be surrounded by half dozen
of the startled guests of Mrs. Nal
lory.

ter, as she noticed the toweled hand,
but Una had tainted away before she
could explain.
She awoke to find her wounded hand
neatly bandaged and herself lying
upon couch of the Mallory home.
The kindly widow was tanning her,
while her brother was standing near
by, looking exceedingly solicitous.

which that dreadful thief had stolen
just before he tried to force you to
supply the money to take them out OF
town with him.
The next day Una's injured hand
prevented her doing any work. Earle
Henderson came over to inquire as to
her health. His hands were strong
and we'll, so he held the book she had
brought to the shady tree bench and
read to her.
And so for week he contributed
his company and devotion. The day
the injured hand was released from
bondage he kissed it, and the next
day he selected one of the slim pretty
fingers to fit on an engagement ring.

color combinations are popular, es-
pecially where gray is one of them.
The employment of two fabrics in the

for color contrast, and there are many

For travelling or general wear
blouses of chiffon in the darker colors
show overlays of ribbon or taffeta
silk in the same color. Chiffon in
plaids, like those in heavier silks, is
very effectively combined with plain
silk for utility blouses, and hem
stitching is an eyer-present means OF
decorative sewing, when they are
joined.

figures embroidered at each side Of

Old Styles in Vogue.

Just at this moment we are revel'
ing in styles Of days gone by, and
happily there seems to be no attempt
to revive the bizarre attire once af
fected by the leaders of fashion.
The predominance of old-time styles
is most obvious where dress acces-
series are concerned. Neckwear,
gloves, wells, handkerchiefs, lingerie
and footwear all possess the alluring
charm of the days of romance.
From collars to pantalettes," fash
ion clothes us in the dainty garments
of an age gone by.

Doctors Insist on Opera.
ti0n---NOt Necessary

I want to write and tell you what your
Swamp Root has done for me. During the
years of 1905 and 1907 was troubled with
what the physicians pronounced Gravel
Of the Kidney" was under the care Of
one physician for six months and two
months with another without securing re-
lief or cure. The physicians insisted ON
an operation claiming that would be the
only thing that would help me. My wife
being bitterly opposed to an operation
did not consent, but continued under their
treatment for some time. When / was
most discouraged believing that my end
was near, heard of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root and at once began taking your medi-
cine and noticed almost Immediately that
the medicine was having its effect. After
taking seven bottles of your Swamp Root
was entirely cured and have not had .
sick spell for over year.
When person has been fat on his back
for six months, suffering untold agony and
spent considerable money with physicians
without any benefit and then to be cured
at an expense of not over $500, you can
well understand how grateful feel toward
you and your preparation. In appreciation
for what your remedy has done for me

Writer'S Remarkable cream.

A well-known English writer was
sitting up late writing something he
much wished to finish. Suddenly some
one came into the room and an
nounced that he was called to go to
Manchester. He went out and packed
his bag, and went to the city, where
he stayed several days and saw in
Vulnerable people. He returned in
due course and transacted a lot of
business in town. and actually con-
tracted for and started new book.
Yet when he woke with a start and
found it was all dream. the ink of
the last word he had written was not
dry.

How to Wash a Shawl.

To wash Shetland shawl. make
good lather of soap and lukewarm
water and press and squeeze the shawl
in this till clean, but do not rub soap
on it. Then rinse in two lots of weak
suds of the same temperature.
Rinsing in weak suds makes the
shawl look fluffy and new, but if rinsed
in clear water it will be spoiled. After
the final rinsing press out what water
you can and throw it in heap on
q clear sheet pinned to the floor,
turning occasionally till dry.

IdeaIs of Industry.

It was a great step in advance when labor was introduced in the prison. Far from being curse labor is the salvation of any individual In prison 1t is positively criminal to permit men and women to dwadIe their days away in idleness. It is a deplorable waste of physical energy and it is demoral- izfng physically and mentally. The old adage relating to Satan's interest in idle hands is specially true when applied to the class of persons con- fined in penal institutions. Insanity has followed in the trail of inactivity in prisons and the moral effects have been extremely disastrous.
