Mr.. Ketchum was skeptical.
His friend arranged to have
Ketchum meet Miss Brown and
undertook slight osculatory
familiarity, which was instantly
and vigorously repulsed by the
young woman. Ketchum became
so interested that he devoted his
attention to this unusual young
woman and found that she was
firmly fixed in the determination
that her first kiss should be re-
served for the man she was to
marry.
So far we must fully applaud
Miss Browns admirable point of

New York, June II. With the first
sultry days of summer, one naturally
turns to white, or the pale toned linens
and cottons. Owing to the popularity
of stripes and checks, it is safe to say
that it will not be an all white season,
but all white is to be very popular,
nevertheless.
Wash Satins In Suits and Dresses.
One OF the coolest and most novel
of the new summer materials, both for
suits and dresses, is wash satin. This
comes in the plain fiat tones and also
in white. 1t is a practical fabric, too,
as 1t sheds dust, does not wrinkle
readily and launders perfectly. Coats
and blouses, too, for wear with skirts

Fairy was speechless, but the

Miss Carr sat down, giggling de-

But Mrs. Prentiss turned to Fairy
gravely. How old are you, my dear?'
And with too apparent effort;
Fairy answered, "Sixteen!"

This aroused Prudence's ire on her

it over to herself she decided that
after all there was nothing absolutely
shameful in a sixteen-year-old girl

Falry's good nature and really good
judgment came to her rescue, and she
smiled at Prudence with her old ser
