 MT. Mayor" she said, i've have come to ask a favor of you in line with the uplift work of our society"
 "Jerome Boyce, 971,' read Sidney wants a position, suppose-most of my applicants do.'
 'No, no, Mr. Mayor" explained Myra, quite on her maidenly dignity in treating of official business-"we want pardon"
 For this man?" inquired Sidney.
 "4es, MT. Mayor. He has been set at breaking stone. He is old, ill, has friends he can go to. His offense was drinking to excess and MT. Partin-''
 You mean MT. Justice of the Peace" reminded Sidney with smile. If not, why distinguish in your selec- ton of stiff official names?"
 "But justice is not a mayor" ob- served Myra, with an expression on her face that emphasized the estima- don in which she held his lofty dignity. Besides, it is a good deal to ask you to turn loose a man on the community who was in the past at least a confessed criminal"
 And you have assured yourself that this Jerome Boyce is worthy of leni- ency?" interrogated Sidney with busi- nesslike gravity.
 "Oh, indeed, yes," replied Myra promptly. TT vOuch for him."
 '"That is a full guarantee for this department at all times," declared Sid ney, and he felt rewarded by the most grateful glow in Myra's eyes as he filled in pardon blank.
 "How good you are,'' said 'Myra. "both to us and to this poor man."
 Sidney forgot all about the incident until late in the afternoon. He was about to leave his office for the day when poorly clad stranger shuffied into the room.
 " I'm Jerome Boyce," he announced. and the young lady said you would help me bit on my way"
 "Oh, yes, I remember,' answered Sidney. What are your needs. my manY

anc other novelty silk laces, net and the sheer cottons like batiste and or gandie.
 The combination of two colors in the fabric, which proved popular in the summer is still featured in blouses now displayed for the new season. Hemstitching and picot edges also re- main and in some models satin char mouse is combined with chiffon cloth or crepe. Occasionally the very sheer blouse has a net foundation.
 A new model is shown in the picture above. It is made of georgette crepe with open throat and sailor collar deep ened by plaited flounce of the crepe. The sleeves are gathered into very deep cuffs and these are finished about the hand with plaited frin ot the crepe. A soft tie of silk or crepe adds a bit of color contrast to this and to many other models.

Age Made No Difference.

Here's a wonderful thing" ejacu- lated Grandma Fisher. i've just been reading of a man who had reached the age of fOrtytwo without learning how to read or write. He met a woman, and for her sake he made a scholar of himself in two years"

Autumn blouses might be spring biouses or summer blouses, for they are made of the same sheer and f1fmsy materials as those designed for the warmest weather. Therefore it is to be inferred that coats must carry all the responsibility in standing between the lady of fashion and freezing wealth CT. And coats, reinforced with high collars of fur or helped out with capes and scarfs, look quite able to do their part Therefore the blouse concerns itself only with being dainty and beau tiful.
 For those who must have something more substantial for indoor wear, there are many one-piece frocks of satin and clOtI., and there are strictly tailored shirtwaists of silk shirtings that are snartly practical. But the majority of blouses are made of crepe georgette, crepe de chine, chiffon cloth. radium

 Sidney Ward was on the road to success and was both grateful and modest. He had only one care in life -Myra. He did not know if Myra Dal- worth knew her mind. He loved her. however. She was kindly and gra- cious, but he had rival, Gene Partin.
 Sidney was lawyer, but had grad ually drffted from his professional ca pacity into politics. A reform move ment had come along and he had been induced to allow his name to be placed on that ticket. The result was that he was elected prosecuting attorney.
 At the end of two years the spoils- men of the party put up a strong local fight. The city needed the right man in the right place. Sidney was elected mayor by a flattering majority. Partin was busted from position as assessor, but on the county ticket was made justice of the peace.
 This was quite a come-down for that free-and-easy spendthrift, but he managed to maintain an automobile and wear good clothes, boasting of a rich uncle in another state and pros pective heirship. He had a pleasing way and was popular and Myra's fam fly rather favored him in preference to Sidney, but the latter had heard of some wild doings of his in the city, and, leaving all personal hopes aside, would have grieved to see him the hus- band of bright, innocent girl like Myra.
 Sidney was delighted when Myra and a girl friend, both considerably in. terested in charitable and humani- tartan work about the city, came to his office one day. Myra had slip of pa-

The Bluff That Failed.

''No," said the fair, but frigid maid, T wouldn't marry any man on earth"
 T get you," replied the practical youth. My trusty aeroplane is an- chored to the trusty lightning rod, and friend of mine who is a sky pilot, will gladly tie the knot above the clouds"
 And seeing that her bluff was called the fair one struck match to the ice berg pedestal on which she was posing and fell into his waiting arms.
