seemed all eyes floating on great
pool of blackness against the snow as
she looked down, but later she could
see the grim mouths below the eyes
and knew that her pleas were falling
on deaf ears.
Finally one who seemed to be the
ringleader had stepped forward and
cried:
where is your husband? 1t is he
that we want to talk to-" And she
had lied and said He is sleeping.''
They muttered ominously at that
and again the ringleader spoke: I'VE
have no quarrel with you, Mrs Page,
but no drunkard who strikes his
daughter and drives her insane shall
stay in this town--Dan Page has got
to go
He will, he WILL" she promised
wildly. '1'll take him away today
He didn't mean to hurt us-he didn't
know what he was doing But he'll
go away,-oh, L promise that" And
again the grim voice answered her:
He'll go, but WE'LL see him off.
Let him stand up like man and talk
to u.s.
At that they all took up the shout
for Page, and he, lying on his face on
the boards moancd and prayed to
the God he had long forgotten, to save
him.
How long she talked and urged and
Wept and pleaded Mrs. Page herself
did not remember, but somehow she
had held them-still threatening-still
inOuS-till far down the road she
saw a small specl that she knew was
an approaching sleigh with two figures
in it.
At sight of it she had forgotten ev-
erything except an infinite relief, and
crying in her JOY had sped down
stairs, leaving Dan Page still huddled
in the windy cupola.
If she hadn't-she shuddered and
caught her breath in a smothered sob,
and for moment the court room
hung in a haze before her and the
voice of MACPHERSON speaking on the
witness stand receded to a vast dis
lance and seemed to be again the
murmuring voices Of that angry mob.
But she fought back the impending
faintness and the rising tears and as
one bracing himself against the i'm
pact Of some great weight she
Strengthened her slender shoulders to
meet without f1inching the story of
that mornings tragedy.

The Too Pretty Gown
CAMERON

One would not think Of putting pur~-
pie trimmings on a green gown; yet
some of the contrasts between tlFe
gown and the woman in it are just as
grating to a sensitive person as the
conflict between purple and green.
gown should strike the same gen
eral note of the wearers personality,
be it smartness, daintiness, quaint
ness, dignity or any one of innumer-
able qualities. ... ..
Every beautiful musical compost
ton is built around some theme, it
enlarges upon this, varies it, and en-
broiders it, but the fundam entail
theme keys the whole composition.
A Good Writer Tries to Keep False
Notes Out of His Story.
Likewise, a good writer is always
careful to avoid striking a false note
in a story or using language or sit
uations which are not in the key of
the story.
This is art. But art, contrary to
too common belief, is not something
apart from daily life. The building
OPP of a home, the setting of a table,
the selecting of a gown are all OPP
portunities for the artistic impulse
within us to express itself in ways
that will give pleasure.
OF course, If a woman is clever.
enough to design and make her own
gowns, she can put the fullest meas
ure Of her individuality into them, but
even in selecting gown, one can ex-
press ones self, especially in these
days when there is such a wide and
wonderful range for selection in the
shops. -
