OF the same lace as the petticoat.
The effect of the silver gauze gleam-
ing through the pale tinted chiffon
was attractive in the extreme.
This was an afternoon model for
home wear, but it could be copied in
any color with the best results, or it
would look we'll in black tafteta, with
the petticoat and chemisette in fine
black chantilly lace and the chiffon
corsage mounted over pale gold or
silver gauze.
Basket-work hats will be very fash
ionable this season They will be
worn in conjunction with quaint gowns
copied from Vatican pictures, and
they will be seen in several different
shapes.
The high-crowned model which l
have sketched is one of Georgette's
latest designs. The material was
hemp straw in the natural color and
the high frill, which stood up at the
back, was made of sapphire blue tulle.
Then there was a long length Of sap
phire blue velvet ribbon passed under
the chin and twisted into the crown
at one side, long end falling over
the shoulder.
At the right side Of the high crown
there was a large rose, made of dull
pink chiffon.
These high-crowned shapes are be-
coming more and more popular. In
the case of the georgette model the
narrow brim was slightly dropping,
but many of the new hats of this
genre have narrow, fiat brims, almost
exactly like the hats which used to be
worn by Welsh peasants, l have seen
these semi-Welsh hats covered with
hatter's plush and worn with circu-
lar, very large veil. The effect was
uncommon and distinctly attractive.

The first speaker shrugged her
shoulders daintily.
"As you will, my love-" she said,

Then they hurried to the car, leaving
Althea shaken, I'm doubt tormented
with thousand nameess fears. She
ran out to the letter box. She felt
like tearing II from its staple holdings
She strove to read the hours of mail
collections, but time and CRIME had
elfaced the surface Of the information

matter how long, until the postman

Althea was so engrossed that she
stood rooted to the spot. Within her
stirred a mighty conviction that she
had misjudged Mr.. Blinn.

must!" she painted fervently.

"Out of the way-see what's com

Someone clasped her She was lifted
| back with swiftness. There waa
frightful contact. The wheels of the
truck had struck the supporting stand
ard holding the mail box. This was
shattered into a thousand pieces.
She paid no attention to the voice
of the deliverer. She never looked at
him, she never recognized him. She
saw only the contents of the shat
tered box flying wide-three or four
letters, her own among them.
She identified her own. 1t was COW
cred with the mud of the street, but
she secured it and thrust it into her
dress with a half-audible cry of hys'
trical relief.
"Miss Kendall-Althea!" spoke a
voice that thrilled her. Turning, she
recognized the man who had saved her
Roscoe Blinn!
Althea was mute. The reaction of
the excitement again overpowered her,
Don't be alarmed" spoke the dear,
near voice. "All the danger is over,
How lucky that l chanced by in time
to see your peril!"
"You saved me! 1t was you!" fal-
tered Althea, helpless in the strong
arms of the hero, whom the crowd be-
gan to cheer.
Then she found herself in an auto
mobile, summoned by this thoughtful
chevalier, and he solicitously seeking
to calm her frantic excitement.

Shrink from you!" fiuttered happy
Althea, and he read that in her eyes
that overcame all his prudence.
He clasped her in his arms.

Il shall send it. am mad all
through! l shall never speak to Mr..
Blinn again."
You mean Roscoe, dear"
81 don't. Oh, if he dares to ever ap-
proach me again!" and there Althea
broke down, the tears came, and she
ran into the house precipitately, leav-
ing her friend without warning, and
had a good cry.
"Oh it was shameful" she told her
self, when vexation and the womanly
caprice Of feeling abused succeeded
to the first outburst. True, they were
not engaged-true, further he had
spoken no word of love, but for nearly
a month she and Roscoe Blinn had mu-
tually realized that they loved one an
other. Even to observing outsiders
this had become unmistakable.
Althea sat down with great delibera-
ton. She felt herself as hard as steel
and immoyable as marble. Half dozen
times she wrote and tore up note,
formal in it's tone, then cutting, then
fairly cruel.
There, that will do" she decided,
with flashing eyes but dewy, and her
pretty lips set firmly, but quivering
"Oh, it's all over-the beautiful, beau.
tiful dream!" she walled, and threw
herself face down on the couch-and
wept again as though her tender but
rebellious heart would break
Then came gloom, it might be called
desperation. She felt herself to be a
somber executioner Of love. She did
not read the note of dismissal, disdain
and severity again. She sealed it, ad'
dressed it, affixed a stamp, put on her
wraps and left the house like some
heroine going to her doom.
1t was at a busy corner that Althea
came across the first mail box. How
her heart futtered as she opened the
slot of the iron receptacle and held
the fatal missive poised. Even there
she debated.
"I-I believe I'll wait till morning.
Then l will be gone, before he knows
of my plans" she cheated herself into
saying.
BEG pardon, miss"
But Althea only uttered little cry
Of concern and dismay, as a man hur-
rying for car iostled against her. He
had vanished by the time she had fair
ly realized that the letter had slipped
from her fingers into the box
Il wish l hadn't" she gasped.
"Oh, dear!"
She stood there, her troubled pose
attracting the attention of passers-by.
She became conscious of this, and, em-
barrassed, crossed the pavement to
the shelter of an embrasure In the wall
NJ the nearest building.
Oh, that she had the letter back!
She knew not why, but all of sudden
her heart had melted. To think that
she had severed all interest with the
man she loved overwhelmed her. Two
men waiting for a car took up po-
sition not half a dozen feet distant
from her. Althea recognized one of
them. She did not know him person
ally. but she recalled that once on that
street Roscoe had pointed him out as
a Young and rising physician who was
a very close and cherished friend.

ing Blinn?" bis companion asked and

Why pink for the girl baby and blue
for the boy? The reason for the dis
tinction is not very clear.
We are told that in Russia and in
America blue is used in the prepara-
ton of the outfit for a baby If the
parents desire a boy and pink if the
preference is for a girl, and then the
old stork brings just whichever one
he pleases, regardless of the color
scheme; SO the wise mother uses both
pink and blue in her layette. A Rus
sian maiden not only wears pink in
her girlhood, but adorns her wedding
trousseau plentifully with this hue.

SETBACK GIVEN DRUG ACT.

PHILADELPHIA. July 4.-The
prosecution Of offenders under the
Harrison auti-narcotic law received a
setback when Judge Thompson, in
the federal district court. in ordering
the acquittay Of two defendants, de-
clared that the possession Of dope,
even in large quantities. without ev-
idence Of sale or an attempted sale,
was not a violation Of the law
The court acted under a recent de-
cig.on of the United States supreme
court Judge Thompson, in deciding
whether the cases Of Robert Martin
and Thomas Rowan should go to the
jury. said:
q recognize the importance Of the
provisions Of the Harrison act being
enforced. but cannot take your con-
gtruction Of the decision Of the su-
preme court without going into the
teeth Of that decision. The decision
Of the supreme court, as / read it, is
that mere possession is not prima
facie evidence or presumptive evidence
Of a criminality against the Harrison
law. The evidence offered in this case
has not measured up to the proof re-
quired to permit the case to go to the
fury. and therefore I am obliged to
direct the scquittsl Of the Defend
ants"
For a conviction the government re-
lied on the circumstantial evidence Of
a large quantity Of drugs, scales,
small envelopes and other parapher-
MALTA uged in the dispensing Of drugs,
which were found in the possession
Of the men. There are now 40 cases
pending in the federal court in this
city in which the evidence is similar
10 that adduced in the case decided.
Il il understood that the government
will not call these cases for trial un-
tu the matter is threshed out.

Wall-Street Man Has 100000 to Wa

NEW YORK, July 4.-Little money

Of Hughes were ready to quote odds.

for many wagers placed on the curb,
let 1t be known that he had $50, 600
Of Hugres money in sight to be put
up against $4,000 by hackers Of the
president. This was an individual Of
fer and vas said in the street to be
the largest single wager mentioned
in a presidential campaign in many
ears.
In betting quarters it was said it is
too early in the campaign to size up
the extent of the bets likely to be
made. Owing to the big profits made
in stocks and manufacturing in the
past year the close watchers Of sport
ing developments predict the betting
will reach greater proportions than on
any similar occasion.
