is still the same tendency on the part
of the hats that are now shown to
cling securely to the head and to cover
the hair. These hats here sketched are
the sort that the young girl going off
to college or boarding school would be
wise in selecting, but none the less
appropriate are they for the woman
past her school years who wants a con

START THIS STORY TODAY

TT WAS strange in these days the diff
l. ference Jane and Joy made in Ruth s
own life, and the interest she took in
everything concerning James marriage.
Ruth and Helen determined to help
Jane in every way possible concerning
her trousseau, and it was Ruth who
coaxed Jane to write another story,
batting her with the extra money 1t
would give her to buy pretty things.
Just think if you could sell some
thing to one of the big magazines. How
much would you get for it?' Ruth asked
one day. 1t was Saturday afternoon
and Ruth was in James bedroom. Both
girls were sewing, and outside the rain
dripped dreariy.
"About one hundred and fifty, I
should think, but / get nervous when
ever I think of trying, and all my
ideas fly away
But the thought obsessed her and she
did begin story, few days later.
During all this time, Jane was making
valiant effort to overcome her untidi-
ness. but it was hard work. Bob had
gone out West to take position that
hsd been offered to him in his own
town. and without him to prod her,
she lapsed often into her own careless
way of living. When she thought of
him she was ashamed, ashamed of leav
| ing Joy to get as dirty as baby
could, ashamed of her own self for lack
ing personal daintiness.
One day Ruth ran up to see Joy when
she knew that Jane would be at the
office. She met Mrs. Mapes, the board
ing house keeper. on the stairs as she
went UP and that good woman held up
her hands in despair.
You just ought to see that poor
child" she exclaimed wrathfully to
Ruth. "She looks as if she hadn't any
one to care for her at all. l declare it
does make me angry with Mrs. Knowles
she has no business to have baby
Upstairs Ruth found Joy in littl,
one piece dress that was filthy. The
baby was walking aboue the place and
she would stumble and fall now Gnd
again. which added to her general ap.
pearance ofJneglect, and Ruth CONCEIVED

turned from the office hot and tired sh'
would find the place and Joy fresh anG

hunted all over the place for something
to nut on the child she could not fine

Mrs. Mapes upstairs and they searched
together through James untidy bureau
drawers, but there was nothing to b.
found, not single change of clothing
for Joy, and not Il clean thing for Jan,

Ruth said finally with a CLINT of ange

as can.
And she was off down the street de

as soon as she came back from worl

Lope in the Park

Here, in the city park,
The robins sing and mate.
High in the ancient elms
The nesting sparrows prate.
Here, where the fountains play,
The pleasant summers Ger,
Lovers unheeding come
To whisper and adore.
Robins and sparrows mate,
And shy young human things,
Sensing the wonder born
OF immemorial springs.
Deep as an ocean voice,
From restless dawn to dark,
Thunders the city's toll
To peace in the dreaming park.
Here, where the poets said
The land could never be,
Lover and lass have found
An unsung Already!
