Her Collection Of Bargains.

There had been a war wedding and
now Mr.. Juggins was busy earning
something to foot the bills with. 80
he handed oil his savings over to his
wife with the remark:
Look here, Hllda, my dear, you go
shopping and get home together.
New stuff is very dear, but you'll man
age oil right II you go to sales aud
things. You're a good bargain hunt
err"
She was. But he had forgotten that
to the real huntress Of bargains low
ness Of price appeals rather than util-
ity Otherwise he wouldn't have been
so surprised at the results.
In the kitchen they have q filing
cabinet, three chairs, moro or less
whole, and an old desk. The dining
room isn't bad, only the chairs don't
match, and the dining table is one
leg short. In the bedroom there are
beds, Of course, and In addition coll
lapsible boat, patent pillow, several
assorted German helmets and other
souvenirs, two stepladders, a zinc bath
and only one hole In 1t, and folding
settee which won't unfold.

might be expected to arrive, the Web
ster family found itself disposed on
the front veranda. A general feeling
Of excitement was in the air. OF them
all, the least concerned was Josephine
herself, sitting in the couch hammock
reading, her feet tucked comfortably
beneath her.
Presently tall figure appeared on
the elm-shaded street, paused at the
gate and swung in up the path.
Hello, Dick - shouted Billy.
"How do, Borden?" said Mr.. Web
ster, advancing with cordially out
stretched hand.
Hello, therel" called Josephine her
self, flushing prettily as she dropped
her magazine and went into the arms
Of the newcomer, to the CONSERVATION
Of her open-mouthed family.
"Did I play the game, 10, dear2" ne
asked.
"You certainly didp cried Josephine,
and, seiEing his hand, she faced her
rhystihed family. "Allow me-" she
said, with sweeping regal gesture,
ito introduce Richard Borden, my In
tended husband"
"But-how about this Nedrobsky
fellowP cried Billy, giving utterance
to what all the rest were thinking.
"Why-that old name is only my flu
ture surname spelled backwards, with
the sky added to give 1t the touch

reproached Sally.
II did" said Josephine promptly,
"but I didn't say that was the first
time had met him. And told the
truth when l said he writes, for isn't
he the sporting editor Of the New York
Clarionr
After supper, when Josephine and
Dick had been tactfully left by them
selves for moment, Dick took both

And what her answer must have
been is evident from the conversation
that took place presently.

"Where did you meet himf" asked
her father.
"Well." said Josephine. after a mo-
ment's hesitation, II met him ut Daisy

Her father gronned mwarUy. The
kind of man he would have welcomed
as sOn-in-law he felt sure would
rather starve than be caught ut tea,

The American demand for silk in
China has greatly increased In the
last few years until ut the present
time about Is per cent Of the Chinese
silk Is sent TO the United States. This
Is the result Of American enterprise

japanese silks had been in favor for
a long time with the manufacturers
Of this country but It was well I'M
derstood that the quality OF the Chi
nese was superior, but It was not
adapted for use in this country be-
cause of the manner In which II was

Of the occidental customers, and the
industry has accordingly taken great
