In the summer colony and time Lung hSn1p

The sea in its varying moods charmed
and enchanted her. She passed many happy
days lost in the dazzle of sun and sand. She
bathed much when Harrison was away. he
cared more for the bay, or to drive his car
over the splendid roads Of the surroundins
country 1t was q glorious SKINNER and
Janet basked and dreamed in q very ecstasy
of happiness The dream was stored away
in some recess Of her mind, to be reviewed
and considered only at long intervals. 1t no
longer caused her any anxiety; it had almost
ceased to thrill her. True, that road from
the station to the beach at Long Point might
well have been the road of her dream, but
she had seen other roads a. similar.
One afternoon in late July Janet padded
along the wet sand in her bathing suit. It
was a somewhat threatening day, with .
strong easterly wind and uneasy surf. A
certain melancholy mood had come upon her
a 1t often did before anumpending Storm
She sat down suddenly and let the wash Of
the breakers touch her. Harrison would not
be down until late that night, she remem-
bered. Something In the day perhaps had
recalled again the dream to her mind She
felt the tenseness Of the atmosphere, a
though she were on the verge Of something
tremendous and terrible. She saw the fast
cloudins and copper -colored sky, and the
darkening ocean vhite-capped TO the hoh-
xon. 1t looked infinitely dangerous. TIE
rising tide rushed against her strongly. The
dream came back to her with more and more
yiyidness. She was glad Harrison was IN
New York.
1t was terridcally hot In the city. Blazing

cars, and the discordant city noises an com.

Liverpool sped steadily eastward through
glorious weather, and Janet, always on deck
In the September sunlight, dreamed under
the spell of the sea. Contrary to Harrison's
opinion, her moods accentuated, rather than
diminished, in her mind the reality and mys-
terry Of the story She watched the Hindu
from the promenade deck. She saw the SOM
Der eyes, the sphinx like face, the clean cut
profile like q silhouette, on the deck below.
And she resolved deep In her heart that be
should tell her fortune, make her dream q
page from her own future life, before the
voyage was ended.
Harrison opposed the plan strongly, not
because it broke the rules under which he
hved-Janet was often exempt from them
but that he. feared she would have q disa-
greeable experiences. She, however, was
clever. She knew how to handle him, and
win him over, when she wiahed to, far bet
ter than he suspected. She enlisted Captain
Anderson on her side:

Occasional spurts in the cotton yarn

the Philadelphia district. Prices are
fairly stable. although buying is mostly
spotty. While business in textiles ap-

manufacturers are supplied with yarns
and are only buying specisl numbers.
No change is looked for In the immedi-

be . fair demand for certain grades Of
material. the general amount of busi-

prices and collections are reported slow.

The large cigar manufacturers report

Some women's hats never go out of
style.
In New York city there is a millin-

much admired and even more in vogue
five or ten years from now.
The place is the Salvation Army
Millinery Shop, where the famous
BLUE Bonnets" of Salvation Army
girls are made.
Three hundred bonnets each week
are trimmed, boxed, sent out to all
parts of the country and started on
their mission of spreading cheer and
hope to every corner of the United
States.
Shaped like nothing else under the

no such word as failure in the COM
ing appeal" he said today.
"The Salvation Army 10 very well
known in Michigan and the people of
this state are familiar with its won
derful work Especially is this true
since the state has been going through
an unemployment crisis. The Army
has been one of the leading organiza-
tons in the state in distributing aid
and comfort to our unfortunate.
II have looked over the list Of
men in each Of the 50 counties who
comprise the Salvation Army's advis-
DRY boards and in each county l find
the members are the men who do big
things.
MY personal acquaintance with the
work of the Army in this state makes
me more than anxious to see every
county contribute it's full quota, which
is small. l feel that it is the duty of
every citizen in the state to get be-
hind the Army and contribute to its
success in the coming appeal.
Some of our county boards have al
ready organized to raise their quota
and l trust the other counties will
follow closely.
Quotas Are Small.
"This years quota Of $255,0OO is
small compared to last year and the
type Of service rendered. We took
care in preparing the budget not to
include any item that was not abso-
lutely essential to the continuation
and extension of this great service in
Michigan"
Chairman Leland, who has been an
active supporter of the Army for
many years, will be assisted in the
coming appeal by large group OF
leading business, and professional
men and women.
