)As soon as Mr.. BOwser uttered the
above words, he felt a chill come over
him and would have recanted II he
could, but 1t was too late.
Mr.. BOwser went away. and he
didn't get his normal feeling back
until he reached home. Then he had
about forgotten the incident that the
farmer had accepted his invitation,
and that he would ever show up was a
thing to be regarded rs impossible. He
remarked to Mrs. Bowser that he
didn't buy the land. but said nothing
further; but the other day he was
treated to the surprise Of his life. AS
he came up to dinner he saw four
children at his gate. as If awaiting his
appearance. When he came nearer
they all rushed for him. and seized his
clothing wherever they could. and
shouted glad welcome to him. lie
was nonplused for a moment, and then
he recognized the lonely children OF
the lonely farmhouse.
what are you doing he-e?" in
not unkindly voice.
"Why. we have come to stop with
you week." was the reply. Paw and
nav are In the house. and your wife
has been awfully good to us. Shsmas
shown us every room in the house and
all of us have patted the cat"
Mr.. Bowser came near faihuns
away. but got the grip on his e nv
tons and managed to climb the IN ~
steps and open the door. The farm
er and his wife were In the hall to
greet him with outstretched hands,
and the farmer shouted:
Here's the old boy himself! You
invited us to stay week with you,
and we have come to stay"
Mr.. BOwser did not look at Mrs.
BOwser. He was afraid Of falling
dead If he did so. When dinner
was served all trooped down. and
the farmer and his flock ate as never
before. They carried the burden Of
the conversation, and they enjoyed
themselves as II ii had been their
first circus. The evening was worn
away in some old way, and ut ten
o'clock Mr.. BOwser faced Mrs. Bow
ser i'm their own bedroom. He was
prepared to die, and he was going to
die as brave man should.
"Well?" she queried, rs she looked
him in the eyes.
"Don't say one word-not one
word" he whispered. III you'll go
through with this thing. I will give
you fifty dollars in cash to buy clothes
with"
She said nothing further, and the
rest of the week was devoted to the
family without complaint. That
family had what the farmer called a
rip-roaring old time. They drummed
on the piano; they almost drove the
cat mad; they destroyed two or
three rugs; they broke up furniture,
and they blew out the gas. Finally
the day came when they were to de-
part. They remained just week to
the minute. and, as they stood on the
front steps. satchels In hand. they
shook hands with Mrs. BOwser and
babe her an ELUSIVE gOOd-by, and
almost collected crowd in front Of
the house by so doing. The farmer
felt 1t his duty to return from the
gate and climb the steps to shake

Other Colors Used With Black

Black dresses. you have been told
many times. are popular, but for the
woman who does not like all black,
these have the Endorsement of French
designers. One imported combination
was in black satin with white satin
trimmings. Another of black char
meuSe was trimmed with emerald
green beads: black and red combina-
lions are also seen. and black with n
military blue is very good taste.

fabric gloves. Today the sight is not
unusual and if kid gloves go on in
creaSing in price fabric gloves are
bound to become even more important
than they now are in the well-dressed
woman's wardrobe. This is the result
of not only the need for skins. No
matter how expensive kid gloves were
through the scarcity of skins the
smarty dressed woman would have
insisted on having them If fabric gloves
had not been developed to their pres
ent high quality. The best fabric
gloves now on the market are as firm
as the best kid and are even softer
than any skin could possibly be.

to live in this world. and that she
was ready to go whenever the sum-
mons came, and Mr.. BOwser thought
she would be no addition to Paradise
if she ever got there.
A poor dinner was served. 1t was
poor in variety and stingy in guam
tity. During the meal Mr.. Bowser
was treated to incidents which had
to do with woe and sorrow, and he
had begun to get lonesome, too. before
the meal was finished. After dinner
he and the farmer adjourned to the
front steps for n smoke and talk.
