THE EVENING TELEGRAMJ, m STEVE'S LUCKY TUMBLE By OSC/‘.R DAWSON, 1 once called on my old friend, Steve Collar], and while there the conver sation turned on conrtship; and at my request the old gentieman told me o acident in his own love affairs, which | give in his own words: “Wall, secing it's you, I don't mind telling you about a scrape that hap | pened to me when I Nancy here. That are is somethiny that 1 never tell anybody. But ye shal! have it!" “No, don't Steve!™ brokeé in the old . woman. “I should think you would be ashamed of yourself telling your love scrapes to everybody.” “If you can't abear to hear it,” said . Bteve, “you may go out of doors! So tere goes. “When I was nigh about twenty-one I came up here alone and built me a cabin. “I hadn’t a naber nearer than five miles, 80 ye see I didn't quarrel much; but as it grew to be near winter I got | company; down to Lenway to take a look at the | girls, to see if I could find one to suit YOU requirc money if you are .0 get ‘ ali the enjoyment possible our of life. i “When I 2ot down to the village | { i young. if he knew of ¢ ' Only a bank account will hclp you to that e D nox did, and i i better iry and hitch on with her; and he said that if 1 was agreeable he would go to old Knox's and make me acquainted with Naney, and he wa as good as his word; and ‘twasn't a Lour before Naney and 1 were on the best of terms “Afore night | had hired out with old Iinox for two pounds & month with board and lodgin', and [ was to work all winter, “Wall, for about two months I feit % as neat as a mouse in a new chees: I courted Nancy every Sunday night and 1 was determined before anothe: { month to pop the question, and 1 hadn't 4 bit of doubt but what Nancy would be overjoyed at becoming my bosomn companion. “Wall, about this time there came 2 fcllow from lLondon to keep schoo!, and he hadn't been there more'n a Long Life of Linen . =555 : ( : i ural hankering arter Nancy. ; along with good laundry work is what you are looking for and “Wall, one Sunday night, Bill Smith, 5 : v’.‘ for that was the critter's name, camo Uikt tat 1s just what we are giviag.

Children’s hats outdone themselves in evolving quaint and dainty models. Many of the designs are reminiscent of the millinery for grownups, but translated into childish terms. Little caps or toques, fitting closely around the face and quite covering the head, have round or pointed ‘crowns of cord- | «d silk or velvet, or of goft furry beav- cr. or of fine felt, supple as cloth, or even of fur. And the band or brim framing the face may be of the same .ierial, or of fur. Many models have v. becoming frills of soft lace fall- n: from under a close, row brim, hile others show a flat ! of heav- wr lace or of fur, next o the face. + odd littie bonnet has a pointed a1 of durk velvet, while the trim- : band is of pure white «rmine. > fur ¢ ermifie entor lurgely dren. Probably nine out of ten the ermine is coney, it I8 when fresh, very bzcoming nd babyish, arnd so fills the require pents, One model of shirred pale blue liberty chiffon was trimmed with @« band of ermine. At one side ap- peiared an ornament consisting of sev. eral ermine tails and an imitation er- mine head: on the other side was placed 2 umall cluster of white ostrich plumes This model, while a little too elabo- rate to be included in tho qv'l aint sim- ple group, was extremely dainty and attractive, Cunning little round caps for boys are on sale, of pure white ermjne with tails placed at intervals around the | crown. Some of the darker furs are used ' also for the baby bonnet and trim- ming. A mere line of the dark fur is used with light toned materials, while | on darker, more practical bonnets, the fur 18 more in evidence. Good effects are secured also with the silk plushes which are so much favored in millin. ery for grownups. The small silk flowers, usually cl“‘ ed “made” flowers to distinguish them trom the conventional artificlal flow- ers, are favored for the children's mil linery, and prim little bunches of these blossoms add to the quaintness for which the designers strive, and when { chosen with care do not detract from the babyish e¢fficet that is equally de- sirable.
