On the contrary, she was in absolute need of employment [in order to make both ends of her financial life meet. The embroidery she did was not remunerative enough to pay expenses and Mary had no fur- ther business tralning. The young author who had adver- tised had pondered long and deeply before putting forth his need in the newspapers, yet there was no alterna- tive. He must have some one to look after his home and he was old-fash- foned enough to feel that a woman and not a man should do it. When he answered Mary Perkins’ ring at the door bell Everly hoped it would be an applicant waiting there. The girl standing outside was slight. Her bair was neatly brushed back and her eyes looked curiously large through the thick-lensed glasses she wore. Her skin was of a dull, almost Indian hue. “I have come in answer to your ad- vertisement for a maid,” she said, and Everly cpened the door. His writing den was nearest to the entrance, and thither he led Mary Per- kins. “All that is essential for me is,” he sald to her, “that you can keep houso intelligently—and quietly.” He looked | at the girl in so helpless a way that Mary was tempted to laugh. “If you could manage in half a day I would much prefer your being here only from ten o'clock until after my dinner in the middle of the day.” “That will suit me,” Mary replied. And from the very beginning Mary took complete possession of Everly's establishment. So excellent was Mary’s cooking that Everly ventured to suggest one of the dreams of his author’s mind. Always, since the beginning of his literary career he had wanted to have editors and publishers dining at his own table. “That is,” thought Everly, “it is easy it Mary will stay and serve dinner.” He went forthwith to the door and called her. When she stood beside him, Everly found his eyes opening a tiffle wider than was usual with them. Mary seemed so different, so altogether dif- ferent from the girl she had been. It took him a moment or so to realize that the thick-lensed glasses had been discarded; that the skin was curiously fair and the hair wonderfully riotous. “You called me, sir?’ Mary sug- gested. “I called the old Mary. you done to yourself?” “I grew tired of looking so plain,” she admitted. “When I applied for the position I was very much in need and 1 felt certain you would not engage me as a mald if—" she broke off with downcast eyes. “I most certainly would not!” said Everly with conviction. He sighed a gecond later and Mary asserted her rights as a successful domestic. “My fingers have not lost their cun- ning with the culinary art just because I am less homely than you thought me. I can serve as good a meal and keep your house as clean as I ever did.” “I am perfectly well aware of all these facts,” Everly admitted, “but that does not alter the fact that you are far too lovely, too altogether beau- tiful to—" he broke off and smiled at the humor of the situation. “Too beautiful to what?” Mary. “Well—the fact 18,” admitted Ever- ly, “that it has been the dream of my lite to have a home to which I can in. vite my friends. I wanted, next Sat- urday night, to give a& small dinner party to six men, that {s—providing you would have been willing to ar- range everything for me.” “And why may I not? I can stay all day Saturday and I will plan and serve, a dinner that will make the editors ac- cept every story you send them.” “And have them all vylng with each other for your attention when they see you—no, thanks.” Because Everly was completely mystified as to his own sudden emotions and quite un- able to cope with the situation he turned to his typewriter. That move- What have asked ment had always been Mary's cue to |/ exit, It was scarcely flve minutes before he heard her soft knock on his study door. When ehe came in he laughed aloud, partly from relief and partly because of his new emotion. Mary's skin was dark; her heavy was severely drawn back. “How many covers shall I arrangs for—for the dinner party, gir?” she questioned. Everly jumped to his feet, took tho glasses from her eyes, dragged tho | pinioned te ndrils of soft gold hair freom their captivity and laughed whimsical- to Mary's flushed face. ave thought of the only nessible you,” he said breathless- s had happened rather sud i3 Silk Hosiery.

For those who do not wish to [ risk low shoes in the cold days of | early spring are spats which fit neat- | 5 Iy over the colonial, and are very | smart. As for several seasons past, button shoes will be used for dress. The popular leathers will be gun- metal, kid and suede. Gray-topped shoes are still smart, although they are now appearing in the cheaper grade of shoes, which usually mean death to a fashion in the not very dis- tant future, SLEEVES AS YOU LIKE THEM Dame Fashion Has Decreed No Hard and Fast Effects for This Part of Costume. In most features of the modern dress there {s variety from which to choose. Some of the newest sleeves reach to the finger tips and are loose and baggy: others are nothing but little chiffon puffs banded around the arm just be- low the shoulder and are supposed to be worn with long wrinkled gloves or with under sleeves. Then there is still a third style which is between the two extremes, an elbow sleeve, loose and falling away from the arm to show | 4 & trimming of flounces and quaint picot edged bands. Verily, the modistes have given us much to choose from here. Organdies and embroidered mulls are going to have first place among the summery dresses, and these dainty materials will be made up with taffetas and soft silks. And there will be ruch. ings of the old-time style, trimming the overskirt effects of flowered dresses just as they appeared in the wardrobe of the young soclety girls of olden times. HELPLESS AS BABY — Down in Mind Unable to Work, and What Helped Her. Summit Point, W. Va.—Mis. Anna Belle Emey, of this place, says: “I suf- fered for 15 years with an awful pain in my right side, caused from womanly trouble, and doctored lots for it, but withe out success. I suffered so very much, that | became down in mind, and as help- less as a baby. 1 was in the worst kind of shape. Was unable to do any work. 1 began faking Cardui, the womar’s tonic, and got relief from the very first dose. - By the time I had taken 12 bot- tles, my health was completely restored. 1 am now 48 years years old, but feel as good as 1 did when only 16. Cardui certainly saved me from losin, my mind, and I feel it my duty to speaE in its favor. I wish I had some power over poor, suffering women, and could tn;lake,t'hem know the good it would do em. If you suffer from any of the ailments peculiar to women, it will certainly be worth your while to give Cardui a {rial It has been helping weak women for {nore than 50 years, and will help you, 00, Try Cardui.
