Blanche ran of to Martha, who
fused and hindered her with the best
intentions. 1t would have been dim
cult to say which was the more ex-
cited Of the two. But the old nurse
would waste time In perfectly fatuous
"reminiscences of the very earliest ex-
petitions In which Mr.. Cazalet had

what a bonny pair they had made
even then. etc. Severely snubbed on
that subject, she took to peering at

Martha looked for a moment as
though she were about to weep, and
then for another moment as though
she would die OF laughing. But a
third moment she celebrated by max
ing an utter fool OF herself, as she
would have been told to her face by
anybody but Blanche, whose yellow
hair was being disarranged by the
very hands that had helped to smpris-

"Oh, Blanche, is that all you have

Now that the lenten season is upon
as there is time for putting into execu-
ton plans for spring outfits, 30 that
each member OF the family may bios
som out at Easter time in something
new. That something will be beautiful
If the styles designed for small girls,
by great authorities in the realm of
apparel, are faithfully copied. Spring
frocks for the little miss are enticingly
pretty and leave nothing to be wished
for. 1t is more of a pleasure than a
task to make them up.
Speaking generally of frocks for
"dress-up" wear, skirts are full and
short and much befrilled. In many
models there is no waist line and
sleeves are merely puffs or ruffles of
thin materials that cover part of the
top of the arms In wash frocks, for
daily wear, the sleeves are elbow or
three-quarter length. There are excep-
tons, however, with sleeves reaching
to the wrist.
One of the simplest of little silk
dresses for a girl of five, or more. years
is shown here. 1t is made of foulard
silk in a dark color with scattered
dots of white over it's surface. The
skirt is set on to a very short plain
bodice, square at the neck and fasten-
ing In the back with a row of tiny but
tons set close together The neck is

silk, and the frock is worn over an
underbody of organdie.
The underbody has short, full
sleeves finished with a hemstitched
band. This finish is repeated at the
neck.
For girls from five to twelve years
there are frocks of taffeta in black. or
colors, trimmed with narrow, fancy
braid. In these narrow braids gold or
silver threads are introduced. One of
the prettiest designs has a very full
spreading skirt gathered into a loose
belt. The bodice is made of four straps
which are fastened to the belt at the
back and front. Two of these straps
Zone at each side) extend over the
shoulders and all of them, as well as
the belt, are finished with braid. A
band of ribbon with short ends tied
at the front supports the other bands.
There are skeleton sleeves of the
bands also.

Leqend of the Wren.

Aristotle, the wise Greek, and Pliny, the Roman naturalist, both mention the old time fables that the wren dis puted with the eagle the dominance of the feathered world. The fable goes to the effect that the birds of the air met in a great convention, and a resolution was adopted to choose as king the one that could fly to the greatest height. The eagle spread his wings and went aloft. sailing higher and higher toward the sun. The members of the conven- tion were ready to proclaim him king when a burst of song was heard above his head. It was the song of triumph from the wren. Perched on the broad shoulders of the eagle when the big bird had spent his strength and fin- ished his flight, the little bird had flown above him and so had won the title of sovereignty. The eagle, angry at his defeat by so diminutive con- testant. gave the wren a swipe with his wing which sent the little one to earth, since which time it has never been able to fly higher than thorn bush.

A Test of PhiIosophv.

Slowbetter is a calm man, not easily upset. On one occasion, as his motor car had come to a sudden stop, he crawled underneath it to see what was the matter.
 Somehow or other some petrol ig- nited. A fierce burst of flame and smoke came forth, enveloping Slowbet- ter. In the midst of the excitement he walked to one side with his usual slow and regular step. His face was black, his eyebrows and eyelashes were singed, and what was left of his hair and beard was sight to behold.
 Some one brought mirror, and he had a look at himself. As usual, how ever, he took matters philosophically.
 "Well," he said slowly and deliber- ately, "I was needing a shave and my hair cut anyway."-Exchange.

Courtesy In Business Pays.

In the American Magazine is story by Fred c. Kelly to prove that c0ur- tesy in business pays. It has to do with George C. Boldt, manager of the Waldorf f-Astoria in New York city and former manager of Philadelphia hos telry. .....-.
 "One night when all the hotels in Philadelphia were crowded and it was almost impossible to obtain a room a man and his wife drove up to Boldt's hotel and asked ill tone of despair if he could not give them place to sleep.
 "'Yes,' Boldt told them; you can take my room. That's all have.'
 ''The next morning the guest told Boldt that a manager with his sense of courtesy would be an assured sue cess in a much larger hotel.
 "'And,' added the guest, I'm willing to provide you with the hotel
 "Since then that same guest has in vested many millions of dollars in ho- tels under Boldt's direction. The guest was William Waldorf Astor."

 Sure thing" agreed Jack, encourag- ed by the experienced miners outlook. And you, Brad, you would race for 1t too?"
 "You can bet your life" said the other quietly. I've had about all of this wild life I can stand. I'm going back to the States-not that there's any one waiting there for me-" he ended gloomily. "I'll have to begin over again-alone."
 You were from the east" remarked Jack tentatively.
 "Yes, and I'll go back thereto New York. My father will take me into the business with him. I'll settle down then, but I don't want to go home dead broke. Oh. I'll hit it up again here. I've always had good luck in the Klon- like" he ended. with bitter smile.

 Jack wrote a letter to Beth Terry that night and in 1t he told her all about Brad Stowe and his troubles. 1t was a relief to the boy to open his heart to the quiet, gray eyed girl back home. He wondered how he had ever syisted before Beth Terry and her mUther came to San Francisco from New York. His letter took on Stowe's optimistic tone.

sbut I've just nad a letter from Beth. Say, she will be surprised when she hears that we've struck 1t rich, won't she?"
 q should think so," returned Stowe, trying to speak carelessly and failing. Congratulate you, Jack. Nice girl, eh?"
 .Yes; she is, Brad" he went on ear nestly. '"That claim on Gold crag be- longs to both of us. I've filed it in our joint names-yours and mine partner.
 "Jack, you are squarew shouted Brad heartily as he threw down his paper and gripped his partners hands.
 There's more to come," went on Jack, with merry eyes. My Beth writes that her cousin, Beth Terry, has come on from New York for visit, and she complains that Cousin Beth is eating out her heart for love of Q man who quarreled with her and then ran away to the Klondike. And my Beth has ordered me to find that man and bring him home with me to my Beth-and his Beth! Shall tell you his name, partner"

 Gold Graz A Romantic Tale of the Gold
 Fields of Alaska
By cLARISSA MAcKIE

Jack Duncan put his hand into stDws's large grasp with the instine- tive feeling that here was a man who would not only be partner, but a friend as well.
 "Glad to see you, Duncan" boomed Stowe's deep voice as he wrung the new arrivals hand. 'I received Hen shaws letter from Seattle. and he told ma to look out for you You can share this cabin with me if you want to. Houses are scarce in Dawson just now, and you1l want to look around. There's a spare bunk in the corner yonder. Dump your stun into it and sit down while cook supper"
 This was Jack Duncan's introduction to Alaska and Dawson City in particu- lar. He had thrown up his position in a San Francisco bank to try his for tune in the Klondike, and back home Beth Terry was waiting patiently for him to make lucky strike and return to her so that they could buy a ranch in southern California and live happily ever after. That was lovers planning. of course. In reality Jack had that very moment arrived in the great gold center of the northwest after two months travel, with a brief stop in Seattle to visit an old school friend.

 You'll find him the biggest and best chap you ever met. He'll stand by his friends through thick and thin, Dun can. He made a pile out here and lost it again-gambled it away in night. He's looking out for another good claim. and believe he'll get it too. He has luck, they say, in every thing except love. Some girl turned him down and sent him scooting into the wilderness" Henshaw had said these words in parting from young Duncan. and Jack had found that ev- erything he had said in praise of Brad Stowe was true.
 Jack used to sit opposite him at the little table. eying the great golden bearded giant and wondering what sensible girl could ever refuse to mar. " him. Of course he always excepted Beth Terry. for Beth loved Jack Dun- can and therefore was beyond consid- eration where Stowe was concerned.
 All through the short, cold days and the long nights brilliantly illuminated by the flaming tongues of the aurora borealis Jack worked and waited and dreamed of the fortune that was to be his.
 Day after day he set out with his prospecting kit and his dog sledge to return at night weary and discouraged at his failure. Always Brad Stowe en- couraged him to renewed effort
