Memory of a Night.

Vanished years-lost, defrauded
years! And the dear, aching sweet
ness of youth when it is lost; care
less, unaccounted joy priced so
nightly when it is gone.
Andrew thought suddenly of a
thing Nora Lee said ! SO often
when she was nine or ten: "Oh,
1 wish and wish you were my
father! Then I wouldn't have to
go always without one. Isn't IL
sad?"
Memories tore with regretful
hands at his thoughts.
Then he stood in the walk.
Vines grew all over the fence; the
geraniums were pink and shiny
above the pergola. That night,
six years ago when he brought
Margaret here, when he carried
her. his heart breaking with its
love, into this house.
At least she had been happy.
She had said so nobly: Dear
Andrew, I am glad to give" That
wondrous night the moon rode
down a path Of crimson fire, she
drew his head to hers and yielded
him her lips.
He went now softly. Margaret
was in the garden. She had been
plucking flowers. came toward
him, her arms filled with golden
dahlias. They were yellow as the
strange lights in her hair; rich
as the amber pallor of her skin.
Three Long Weeks"
Facing him so, she seemed eter.
nally young in a golden. misty
bloom. His eyes filled at her
smile.
"Ah-yOu would be glad, dear
Andrew, to know how 1 have

again. l am as foolish as my

pale, royal flowers blooming in
the dark.
He thought of Margaret. Her
slim, fragile hands clasping with
glowing tenderness against his
face. He longed to stand before
her; lose this anguish in her deep,
deep eyes; hear her voice of music;
rest in her quiet arms.
If only for an hour-a last
hour. 1t might be this. For he
had feeling that Margaret was
lost to him; that she could not =

At o'clock Saturday afternoon
Andrew drove past the great
circle Of hydrangeas toward the
curving road where the shingled
house sat back among the euca-
lyptus trees.
He drove slowly, watching the
blue simmer Of the ocean. Fig
ures graceful and tall caught his
glance-a boy and a girl climbing
the long white stairway that went
like steps of romance through an
ancient forest.
The girl was slim and dark;
the boy was brown and tall. He
leaned down suddenly, swinging
her hand and whispered. They
looked in each others eyes and
laughed. They looked in each
others eyes and loved. Youth,
radiant and sparkling, streamed
about them like a song.
Andrew watched with a tight
ened heart. Nora Lee and Dane.
How the gypsy girl had grown
with young, wild beauty in her
face. And that brown, merry lad
with the fine. tender eyes-like
himself in the years that were
done. Yes, Andrew was brown
and exuberant with the youth
pelting high through his veins
some eighteen years ago.

Finding women disposed to look
with interest on this sort of suiting,
tailors have gone to considerable in
genuity in making new and varied
use of the material. Suit skirts are
made with the stripes running dag
onally, joining in VS. in the front.
Sometimes the diagonals go from
side to side upward to the left or

forms the skirt while plain material
makes the jacket While usually
fashioned in black with a white

Quite recently the hairline stripe
has met with a rival in the form of
the hairline check or plaid, but this
horizontal stripe somewhat detracts
from the effect of slenderness pro-
duced by the simple stripe.
