Will Revolutionize
FOLDING BED QUESTION

New York, July 23.-Residents
Of Manhattan island, in their eter-
nal fight for space, have perked
up their ears at the announcement
by New York ralty syndicate
that it will build a $3.50, 900 apart
ment house, whose distinguishing
feature will be disappearing
beds" Officials Of the syndicate
are silent as to what form the
disappearing beds" will take
during the day time. They dis
miss the matter by saying that
disappearing beds and many
other labor saving devices will be
installed.
Architects, however, have given
their opinion on the proposed in
novation.
The beauty of disappearing
BEDS" the architects say, is that
the bed cannot disappear while
the occupant is lying in it. on his
bark, with his knees up and mouth
open. This was the chief draw
back to the old fashioned folding
bed. The architects made this
\
statement to quiet the feahs of
many New. York residents who
had inquired as to whether the
disappearing beds'' were similar
to the old-fashioned folding bed,
Or contained any Of the latter's
cranky and uncertain tendencies
The architects say that a "dis.
appearing bed" is bed at night
and an oil painting Of Gordon
setter or something like that ir
the day time; that it can be slip
ped under. the bath room floor OF
tucked away behind the acquar
ium; or that it may be sunk into
a trap door in the floor and ar
Oriental rug placed over it, 81
that the tell-tale cracks may no
be seen.
The apartment house Of tn
disappearing beds," the syndi
: cate announces, is to be built OF
West End avenue, Manhattan.

Newspapers express regret at the de-

One of the basic causes of the coun-

this reason industries lie idle.

This time Of year many women have

With childish faith sublime,
And listen in the snowy night
To hear his sleigh-bells chime.
Beside the door on Christmas Eve
I put a truss of hay,
To feed the prancing, dancing steeds
That sped him on his way.
If children of larger growth
Could have a Christmas tree
From Father Time, one gift alone
Would be enough for me
Let others take the gems and gold,
And trifes light and vain,
But give me back my old belief

CREPE VERY LATEST THING
Styles Now Having Pronounced
Run of Popularity.

In the matter of silks crepes are the
very latest thing-crepes of heavy.
luxurious sheen. those woven with
satin surfaces and satin backs and
those woven with stripes and figures
and patterns. Satin had its vogue
(and it can never be wholly pushc';
from the center of the Stage), but now
crepe in various weaves and styles is
having its heyday. Many evening
dresses undoubtedly will be made from
its lustrous folds and for afternoon
wear it will be altogether fashionable
The surprising thing about this fabric
is how wonderfully it has been devel-
oped. 1t is heavy or light; thin and
filmy or positively stiff, as in the bro
caded varieties that will be used for
formal dinner gowns and for fur
trimmed evening wraps for sumptuous

life had been full of anxiety and Strug-
gle. There was a mortgage on the olu
homestead, and at one time it seemed
a foreclosure could not be avoided.
Then in some way he secured the mon
ey to pay it off, and fortunately it
was clear Of remembrance when he
died. That was just a month after
Eunice married Randall Marsh.
Her heart warmed as she thought
of the loyal, Whole-SOuled man who
had come into her life at critical
time. 1t had been generally supposed
that Randall had some little means,
for he was industrious and thrifty, but
when Mr.. RalStOn died Randall stepped
into his place, practical, hard working
and self-Sacriticing.
The tears fell as Eunice reached the
stOrerOOm, and lifted the top of the
fancy box she had herself covered, in
which her father had been accustomed
to store his extra clothing. Randall
himself had made the receptacle, and
together they had given it to Alr. Raj
ston on his last birthday. Eunice re-
moved some articles of apparel tender
~ and with care, placed them on
chair, and discovered some handker-
chiefs and three pairs of stockings
rolled up neatly. She took the top pair,
undid it and with satisfaction noted as
it unrolled that it was new and whole.
Why, what can this be.'' she ut
tered, as an envelope fell from the re-
leased folds. Her wOnderment in
creased as she picked it up and found
it unSealed and inside a written page
and a peculiar looking key. Then
with staring eyes, bfeathless, stirred to
the depths of her soul, she read:
after l am gone see that this letter
and key are given to Randall Marsh.

Use never to divulge, that he gave me
money to pay off the mortgage. Poor,
