" Opposite Depot Phone T1 Peoars oo Ao D S [ By JOSEPH E. SMITH. “nmn-“ '., Jan. 27, 190—, We have alwaye y geod friends about I thought I would tell v it happened, curse it's Jim's sister. You re Jim. He was one of the y,., vs in the old frat back at Yale You know we were both on the elev: PH‘ for old ¥li, and it made it no enc Jolt when I got it for coact uld get it for trainer, tou 1N s ‘A! I liked Edith because she Vu}'x Jim's sister. [ took her to things :!‘d t to give her a good time on, 1 got to like her for her chums, I got to know Rdith pretty well 1 we became great friends.

A scarab is supposed to bring luck, and mine certainly did One night 1 had come back home from taking Edith to a reception. ) glancgd down at my hand and saw. that my ring wag gone from my lit tle finger. It upset me considerably. Not that the ring was valuable, only a fellow hates to lose anything like that. T could not see any way that ) could possibly have lost it. After ) bad hunted everywhere I gave it up 1 was out of town for a week or 8o, but the next time I saw Edith, you can imagine what I felt when I saw my ring on her finger. It knocked me flat with surprise. At first I couldn't think of any way that she could have gotten it, until at last it came to me, that the night of the reception she had asked me to hold her muff for a moment. My ring must have slipped off in it then, and the next day she probably found it. It was the fact that she wore it that gave me courage to speak at last. As long as she was Jim's sister, I knew that she must know what it meant for a girl to wear that ring, and so | was in a fool's heaven of happiness It was good weather for slelghing and so I took Edith out the first chance 1 got. Nothing scemed tc come right to bring up the subject until she took her glove off, for some reason or other. It happened to be on the hand that had the ring on. 1 looked at it and said: “You know what that ring means, don't you, Edith?” she looked rather surprised. “Of course.” We were way out in the country and I guess my happiness went to my head and made me all kinds of a presumptuous fool. She pulled her hand away with a jerk. The air had brought the color to her face, but it was not the air which made it deepen. She did not say a word, but just lookew at me. “But the ring—" I stammered. “What has the ring got to do Wlln —" “Why, you know what it means, and I thought you understood.” She stared at me incredulously. “Jack, what do you mean? I dont understand at all.” It was my turn to etare at her. “Why, didn’t you find my ring ip | your muft?” | “Your ring in my muff! How ghould it come there?” “I lost my ring the night of the re- ception, and when I saw you with | that on, 1 thought you had found it | of. Your wearing it gave me hope for something 1 had never dared dream You must know that I—" Edith looked at me a moment and then she laughed. “This ring? It has always had & fascination for me. 1 have trled to persuade Jim to let me wear it and he never would. So when I found it on his dresser last night I appropriat- ed it.” Then all of & sudden it came over me what a fool I'd been. I might bave known it was Jim's, but I wa 80 T°¢ in my conceit to think ft was I that I never stopped to con- “I don't suppose there's anything 1 can eay. | am sorry to have made & fool of myself and have spolled every- thing.” There was & long silence after 1 had headed the horse around. 1 thought of all the things I might say, and didn't It must have been the courage ot despalr that made me ask: “Can't we keep on belng friends, Iy in another way?’ onAynd then it happened. I could hard- 1y belleve that Edith could oare for & tellow like me. But, Dad, here's where I come to thesjoke of the thing. The next time I had on my evening coat, it was cold and I dug my hands deep Into my pockets to keep them warm. Down a corner I felt something cold and in pard. 1 fished it out, and what do you think? That lucky old scarab ring! It had elipped off in my pocket aud been there all the time. But I'll choke oft this yarn. me your congratulations, Dad. Yours as ever, JACK.

Among the less expensive neg- ligee robes the kimono probably ranks first by force of numbers. It is a modified kimono, however, retaining the loose lines and the picturesque eleeves, but fastening across the front with knots of ribbon, or buttons and loops, and falling straight in a man- ner more snug and trim than did the old style, worn without the sash, which gives to the Japanese garment a greater shapeliness. The kimono is to be fouud in all materials from lawn to silk. Most of the flowered designs in dimity, lawn and china silk make up beautirullv. Some attractive | ) Floral Patterned Satin, Shallow Lace Collar. kimonos are also made from a new flowered crepe, with trimmings of plain silk that harmonize with the predominating color note of the flow- ered material. Slightly heavier robes are made more or less upon the same lines, but of albatross, challie or French flan- nel. The inexpensive neglige hot weather is of sheer stuffs and is usually white, or shows a ftloral pat- tern in delicate colors on a white ground. Kor these models, aside from the kimono, variations of the empire effect are, perhaps, most in evidence, wide liberty satin ribbous, run through wide embroidery beadins, serving as a girdle and giving to the model more trimness than is common to robes which fall loose from the shoulders.
