I,in,la's Hat.

With a determined gesture Linda
at last put the hat down. I'm not
going TO touch it again. It's perfectly
foolish TO expect that hat will look
as II 1t cost twenty-five dollars when
the materials only cost five. Ill just
wear 1t as il is and make the best of
II. At least II Is fresh and new and
a lovely color. I'll wear ii downtown
this afternoon and get the worst over
at once"
Half an hour later Linda was
ready. With her dainty green gown
and green-and-violet hat she looked
like a bit of springtime. but in front
of the mirror she saw only the hat.
Il do believe it's halfway pretty
she said. "I'll soon know whether
it's success or not; the first three
people | meet will decide its stand
ing
She was really more in earnest
than she meant to be over her test,
otherwise her heart would not have
sunk as il did when the first person
she met turned out to be Miss " lllie
Beech-aueer, friendly little MISS
While with her terrible frisette ana
her loving eyes.
Miss Willie greeted her with ar ex-
clamation of delight. HOW pretty
YOU look. child! That's a new nat!
Isn't Ii sweet! Did you make IL your
self? | had one almost identically
like IL once. I'll tell you secret:
When you get tired of wearing 1t that
way YOU can turn IL round and wear
IL hind side before.
THANK you, Miss Willie Linda
replied. But inwardly her heart SANK
with dismay Did her hat look IKE
Miss Willie's things?
Mrs. Ware was the next acquaint-
ance she met. Mrs. Ware was always
frank. That's new hat you've on,
isn't it?" she remarked. 1T looks
10 me as If II would fade in TWO
wearings."
Linda's sense of humor carried her
through the ordeal. "One more
chance. my dear" she told herself;
The third chance tarried proyok-
,inglv. And then, of all people IN the
world. Il presented itself In the person
of Miss Jennie Creel And Miss Greer )
comment was, Whatever possessed
Won to wear a hat with violets!
"At least" Linda said as Miss Creei
turned away. "I've had the most.
Suddenly light came into her eyes,
and her head went up. Il don't care.

idly becoming known as the leader
in the industry he lived in hall
bedroom in a cheap rooming house
and ate his three meals a day from
the counter of a dreary little Bowery
restaurant. When questioned as TO
why he did this. he declared IL was
in part so that he could save every
dollar possible to put IL back into
the business and partly because the
grinding poverty of his youth had
not been forgotten.
When he was boy his father, hav-
ing lost everything as a result of the
Civil War, was forced to take the
lob as farm hand on a farm thirty
miles from Durham. N. c.. James and
his three small brothers lived with
their father in a shanty that per
mitted the storm and cold to enter
from all sides, and the four had to
sleep on a single husk tick in one
corner of the place for the sake oi
warmth. Their food often consisted
of little more than handful o
parched corn. II was years after the
war that the first ray OF sunshine

~ SiAtA-tNo
Just sixty-two? Then trim thy light
And get thy jewels. all reset;
Tis past meridian, but still bright.
And lacks some hours of sunset yet
At sixty-two
Be strong and true.
Scour off thy rust and shine anew.
'Tis yet high day, thy staff resume.
And fight fresh battles for the truth;
Forwhat is age butyouth's full bloom.
A riper, more transcendant youth
A wedge of gold
is never old.
Streams broader grow as downward
rolled,
Al sixty-two life is begun.
At seventy-three begin once more;
Fly swiftly as you near the sun.
And brighter shine at eighty-one.
AT ninety-five
Should you arrive,
still wait on God, and work. ane
thrive.
Keep thy locks wet with morning dew
And freely let thy races flow;
For life well spent is ever new.
And years anointed younger grow
So work away,
Be young for aye.
From sunset breaking unto DAY
