0ld Clothes. LLA GARDNER large gray hat round and round upon her hand. It was soiled and a trifle wilted, but she knew what to do to freshen it. Besides the hat there was a gray dress and a gray cape, both present ing a somewhat tousled appearance. Carlotta had worn them all Summer and now Ella was expected to ar- range a Winter wardrobe out of them Carlotta, young, vivid with dark eparkling eyes and ravens' wing hair, Jooked charming in gray, and wore it to the exclusion of all other colors. Gray did wonderful things to her Tosy Joveliness; she was like a dewy cru sader rose peeping through the morn- ing mists. But the same clothes upon Ella produced a far different effect. Ella, being the mother of Carlotta was short, stout and faded. Her ey were blue, but gray put out whatev Jight they possessed. Her hair was blondy-gray and she had no color in her siightly sallow cheeks. She knew all this. but circumstances compelled her to wear her daughter’s discarded clothes. for while Carlotta fine sala; Mrs. Fairchild’s private secretary a had to keep up their home and pay the taxes on the very small income her husband had left her. There was nothing left over for clothes, and even then Carlotta was never satisfied with her home and was always complaining of the contrast it presented to Mrs. Fairchild's place on the hill. In reality Ella, although she would not have admitted it even to herself, was a brave, hard-working. unselfish and sweet-hearted little woman, who took each day as it came. She lived for Carlotta—lived to make Carlotta comfortable when she was at home. For vears and years there had been nothing else. But now just recently new interest had entered her life.

Everybody had Mked Francis, everybody had missed him when he went adventuring forth into strange countries. Now he had returned and was making his home M Mainville. He was a widower, schildless, with a great deal of money and he was looking around for another wife. He had met Ella and they had found much to talk about, but, of course, her looks were agains her. Francis was distinctly a well dressed man who paid much heed to his clothes, and it was not to be wondered at that he could not be attracted by @ dowdy. Ella, who had remembered him long, who had thrilled at sight of him, real: fzed that she had no chance at all. And her heart sank within her. Yet as she stood there studying the gray hat she wished, girlishly, that she had some fitting clothes. And she ran over every item of her housekeeping expenses vainly seeking for fresh economies. As for dyes—Carlotta's clothes didn't take to dye. not tried it and failed igncminously? The telephone hell was ringing. Tt was Mrs. Derrick, she who had been Agnes Linton, one of the old-time set turned the which had remembered Francis Ford. | “I am going into the city for a bit of shopping and a matinee,” Mrs. Derrick sald. ‘“George will drives’ George was her. grownup son.

In the city shops she saw things she wanted—a black tailor made, a spangly black dress, a rosy little hat. Instinctively she knew that these were things she would look her best i they were not for her. Every time she came to a mirror, and the #hop: he turn- €4 her eves away with a sigh.

But the best was vet to be. Some- way Francis so juggled affairs that Ella found herseif going home with him instead of Mrs. Derrick. It was a dull, chill afternoon, but the closed car was warm, and for all she have been crowding the windows. At 10 minutes past 6 she entered into her daughter’s presence.
