THE WAILES CLAIM. In the Wailes' case, no won at Tal- lahassee the attorney-general took the ground that the legislature having assumed jurisdiction and appropriat- ed . 000 as full payment for Col- onel Wailes' claim the courts could not disturb the settlement. Congressman Clark contended with great ‘earnestness that the action of the legislature constituted an impair- ment of Colonel Wailes' claim and was therefore null and void, and in- sisted that the constitution and laws in force, when the contract was exe- cuted afford an abundant remedy if the comptroller is ordered to act thereunder. Colonel Wailes' claim is for ap- proximately $160,000 and has heen pending for The Legisla- ture of 1909 appropriated 000 for payment, a portion of that sum to go to the Beard estate. (‘olonel Wailes refused to aceept the money and the | lature of 1911 appro- priated the same sum, all of it to go to Colonel Wailes. e still refused what he claims to be but a small per cont. of the money due him from the state under contract. years, - AN INVESTMENT Lakeland Highlands Will Prove Profitable. We have sub-divided our prop- erty in Lakeland Highlands, centering around Banana, Scott and Seward lakes into Bungalow lots and ten-acre tracts. We are developing this prop- erty as a high class resort: we have sold a large portion of this property to people of means in the northern states, who will build beautiful homes and plant grapeiruit, orange and tanger- ine groves on their holdings. A number of sales have been made to residents of Polk county, who realize the investment op- portunity and who further de- sire to take advantage of the pleasure and social features of this high class Club Colony. The Elevation of Lakeland Highlands is 300 feet abuve sea level. The panoramic views are unsurpass- ed in Florida. The land is roll- ing and naturally drained. The climate is pure and invigorating and there are no mosquitoes ncr malaria at Lakeland Highlands. The improvements now under construction, consist of a mag- nificent Country Club House, Spanish Mission style of archi- tecture, school and chapel, boat houses, stables and garage. A golf course is now being planned in addition to many oth- er out door and indoor amuse- ments. The approximate cost to be $25.000. With the above improvements and develepments it is obvious that property values in this sec- tion will iucrease very rapidly during the next few years. An investment made now, at the present ivw pries and easy terms, shovld yie'd very hand- some commercial returns. It would not be surprising to see this proverty double in value during the next two years. The social and health advan- tages at Lakeland Highlaads will be worth the amount of your in- vestment. An investment in a lot or ten acre tract entitles you to a membership in the Lakeland Highlands Club, with all its privileges. If interested please call or write us for further information. W. F.

He sat down in a large easy chair before the hearth. *I have had a busy day,” he remarked. “lve been in court since early this morning.” “A successful lawyer has a hard life. If you were not so brilliant and 80 clever you would not have to spend all your time handling impor- tant cases.” He settled himself more comfort: ably in his chair and smiled approv- ingly at her. “I am having a meas- ure of success, of course,” he said, 4 little pompously. “A great deal amended. lis smile deepend. “To a man suc- cess means more than anything else. “Some- little anxiously at of success,” she “How Do You Know?"

I intend to write a novel when | have time. 1 may do it next summer during my vacation.” After he had gone she sat for a long time before the fire. There was no joy in her eyes, and her face was white and tired. A clear, trilling whistle called her from her reverie. She went into the hall and openad the front door. “Come in, Rob.” “I saw you sitting alone as | came up the street and I saluted you. 1 didn’t expect such good luck’as an in- vitation in, Why, Jean,"” he exclaimed, as the light in the library showed the change in her face, “what is the mat- ter?

I'll wager it's the very best book that has ever been written. But how hard you must have worked. You are such a con- scientious person that you put your whole Ysoul into everything you do, and this book must represent long hours of work, the careful expression of yvour personality and the realization of a dream.” The joy, greater than before, had come, back to her eyes. “Rob,” she said solemnly, “you are the most un- derstanding person | have ever seen.” The understanding person looked slightly bewildered. *“I want to see the book immediately. 1 can't wait till it is published. Let me see the manuscript.” “It is only a simple, little tale of my own childhood.” “Then it is the story of a most adorable little girl who became an adorable, thoughtful, ambitious wom- an. Of course Halstead is immensely pleased and proud.” “He is not. He does not realize what my accepted book means to me He does not understand, as you do, that a woman has ambitions as real as a man's, and that for them she is willing to work and to suffer as a man does. He is so—so Interested in him- self and so proud of himself. Rob, a man's attitude toward a woman's dear- est interest may decide her regard for him.” She laid her hands on his shoulders and looked steadily into the eyes in which she saw the reflection of her own rapture and exaltation. “Your attitude, Rob, toward my lit- tle dream. You understand the dream, Don't you understand something else, Rob, dear?” You have writ- BAD FAULT IN A HUSBAND Failure to Notl;:;;;_Food Given Him Makes Him Hard to Put Up With, 1t is a question which is the worst fault in a husband, to be too fastidi- ous about what he eats, or not to be fastidious enough. The sort of man who looks con- temptuously at the dish passed to him, and asks if the ccok has any brains that she contrives so little variety in the menu, is, of course, intolerable; but there is another sort of man with | whom it is just as hard to put up. i A woman who married a short | while ago discovered this to her sor- | row. She married with the excellent | resolve of making her husband happy ‘ by the steady practice of the domestic | virtues, but his palate was so pooriy developed that unless an article of | food was absolutely unwholesome <-r“ burnt to a cinder, he never discovered ? any fault in it.

A very jaunty model for a young girl is a coat of wool diagonal, which comes in brown and white, and gray and white mixtures, with plaid cuffs and button-trimmed sailor collar. It is piped with braid. Another prac- tical junior coat is made of a novel diagonal mixture, in tan, gray and brown combination, It is semi-fitted, and has a large round sailor collar. The collar and culfs are trimmed with plaid cloth, A good looking coat for misses or small women is made of all wool navy diagonal, with a large round collar and deep cuffs, trimmed with bands of tan or Copenhagen cheviot, A woman's coat of heavy blanket coating comes in a variety of colors. It has a large convertible round sailor collar which will button high at the neck, as well as with turndown collar. The collar and cuffs are inlaid with contrasting color broadcloth. An ex: tra bag to match goes with this coat, An attractive model is made of a good quality of gray and brown mix- ture. The large round sailor collar and turnback cuffs are Mlaid with good quality velvet. A good looking coat is made of reversible cloth in combina- tions of gray and coronation purple, or blue and tan. It has the new set- in sleeve, The cuffs are made of re- verse of material, and the deep shawl collar and large patch pockets are in- laid with reverse of material, Novel Emery Bags. That useful little article of the sew- ing and embroidery bag which first ap- peared in the strawberry form can be bought at up-to-date counters in sev- eral other shapes, among them being the thornberry, grape and chestnut. By this it can be seen that almost any bag, no matter how elaborate the basket, no matter how expensive, can have an emery bag to match it.

Many bags have a com- plement of the whole gamut. New Ideas in Negligees. Fashion's latest decree is to use twe thickneses of messaline or thin silk white for the outside and a delicate color underneath. They are separate ly made and are only caught together at the hems. They are elusive in their shadings and are trimmed with five ruffles of five-inch footing. The neck is pointed in the front and the back. The sleevek are rather loose and ruffled from the elbow to the shoulder with the footing From the point at the back of the neck there is a square bow of the silk edged with footing Leaf green under white makes an ex quisite combination Silk Stockings.
