———————— & A ————————————————————————————————— GARDEN PARTY FROCK DESIGN THAT MIGHT BE COPIED WITH GOOD RESULTS. (Most Expensive Garment in the Orig- Inal But Could Well Be Made of Less Costly Materials—Good Evening Gown. Here is a typical garden party frock for 1914, It was designed for a gar- den party and worn at one of the fas- cinating rural spots outside of Paris, and was a really delicious combination of white taffeta and chiffon, blue rib- bons and small French rosebuds, writes Lilllan E. Young in the Wash- ington Star. There is no reason why, it one wishes to economize, it might not be developed in much less expen- sive materials, Cotton voile or mar- quisette, for instance, would take the same trimmings beautifully. There was a knee-length skirt foun- dation of white China siik, with the remainder of the skirt length com- pleted in white taffeta, and over the China silk top were hung the two tunic flounces of chiffon, scalloped about their lower edges and bound with white taffeta. A very new and charming method of trimming these flounces was employed, for the small o pm— Blie satin to match the olor of the | bowknots made the girdle, which was : topped off by a close row of roses. I Frocks of this order can be worn as an evening gown all the year round, | and, as I remarked before, much less expensive material can be used to ad- | vantage. ] | | { In Perfect Condition They Add Much | to Appearance of Even a Face That Is Plain. Healthy, rosy lips are a very impor tant part of one's appearance. When young lips become pale and colqriess look into the general health at énce. If outdoor exercise does not stir the blood to action and bring healthy color to the cheeks and lips, a judicious tonic should be taken. Too much vinegar will not only make the lips pale, but will thin out the blood unmtil all color disappears from the face as well, A dangerous habit is biting the lips to make them red. Not only do the lips become shapeless, but they grow thick and coarse. Delicate lips become blistered through being exposed to sun and wind. In such cases a lip salve should be used before going out of doors, and a solution of borax and distilled water i should be used to bathe the lips night and morning.

Mother, too.” “Well, we will just telephone Miss Norton and it will be all right.” Which it was, and the lad had the The youns girl @ ed in black | evening of his life.

Her hand stole lovingly into that of i the palefaced timid lad, encouraging him amid a new and strange environ- ment, and she whispered: “Be brave, Ernest, dear! You WIII1 soon become used to it And think: what a help it will be to poor mother!"” | Then her quick intelligent eye took | in the general ensemble of the big of- fice. Her face fell. In an intuitive way her mind recognized in the assur- | ance of the old clerks, the vanity ofI the typists, the cold calculating man-| ager, the indifference that would chill! the retiring nature of her brother, go- ing into a new life after years of care and tenderness, the idol of a lovlng! family circle. Her footsteps lagged.' ‘Was she leaving a lamb among wolves? Then near to the door she no- ticed a man seated at a desk. His glance followed her brother, then It_ rested on her own face. Something in ite token of interest in herself and her affairs, impelled her towards him. She knew not why, but in an intense whis- per she said: “Won't you please look after him a little?” y £ Her selection of him as a confidant, as a friend, brought to the eyes of Ransom Ware a sudden brightness, in which his true soul of chivalry of de- votion to weak and helpless humanity came to the surface in a flash. Re- spectfully but fervently he answered: “I will do more than that. I will re- member my own long-ago first days of apprenticeship and help him over the rough places.” . “Oh, thank you! Thank you!” spoke ' the young lady, the quick tears ot emotion springing to her eyes and T g ) I II “Won't You Please Look After Him a Little?” ! clear to the door the glance of Ware' followed her, a queer longing thrill at heart. It was at the noon hour that Ware sidled over to where the new employe was stamping the morning’s outgoing mail, “I'll show you the post office,” vol- unteered Ware unostentatiously, “as I go to lunch—and, by the way, where do you eat?” “I don’t know. I hadn't thought,” re- i plied Ernest Norton, flushing like a school girl. i “Well, I'll introduce you to a jolnt: ed that a serious-faced friend whom his host introduced was a medical ac- quaintance of Ware, asked by the lat- ter to look him over and find out what was the matter with him. “The boy needs a change to outside air and exercise or he won't last two months,” was the report of the young physician, and the next morning Ware did a thing that he had never ventured to do for himself—to ask a favor. In wonderment and then with a sneer on his face his employer listened to his appeal. “It will cost you nothing, sir,” ex- plained Ware. “I want to save the lad. You can help me by sending him to the plant at Lisle.” “But we have no use for him there.” “No, sir—only pretend you have. I will really pay the salary. Let him be timekeeper for the outside workers.” “We need no timekeper.” “lI know that, but the boy must think you do.” “Have your way,” was finally agreed. “If you can afford to play the philan- thropist, all right.” And right royally did Ware keep to his purpose. Once a week he visited the mother and sister of Ernest in their humble home. On every occasion there was a cheering letter from the lad, telling of how he was growing stronger every day. Miss Norton had started and looked troubled, Ware fancied when he first told her of sending Ernest to Lisle. She seemd on the point of saying something, but changed her mind and wase silent, although she exchanged a strange meaning glance with her mother. Ware took no vacation that year. He did not buy his usual summer suit. When he called at the Norton home one evening he found Lucia and her mother gone. “They received a telegram from Lisle,” explained the landlady, “tell- ing that Ernest was hurt, and hurried away at once.” That night Ware fell ill. For a week he tossed in fever and delirium. When he again opened his eyes to the ra- tional issues of life he found two nurses at his eide—Lucfa and her mother. They had a strange story to tell. For years they had been estranged from a wealthy uncle who resided at Lisle. Ernest had risked his life to stop a runaway which endangered the life of the uncle in question. A reconciliation had come about. The Wares were now richly provided for. “All through you—dear, brave, sacri- ficing friend!” sobbed Lucia, her tears falling on the wasted hand of Ware “And I have learned all about your bearing the burden of the salary paid Ernest. Oh, my friend—my best and dearest friend—" She broke down there, moved to silence in a realization of the deep love this noble man had inspired within her heart of hearts. He read the truth, and a glorified smile passed over his wasted face as he knew that he had won the surest crown of life— the love of a true woman. (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.)

He was a good man in his place, but not given to courting the attention of those i in power nor to jostling with rivals. | He was a valued man, but his keen | mercenary employers took advantage :t his quiescent ways and imposed on | im. He and Ernest became great friends. Ware quite squelched the second of- fice boy who felt it a duty to squabble with all juvenile new comers. Ware | took Einest under his wing in a way that warned the self contained assist- ant manager that he had better leave him alone. Gradually Ernest got on to the oflice routine. He was punctual, ' obliging, industrious, but the watchful Ware noticed that about the middle ot the afternoon his steps would lag and great dark circles came about his eyes. When he left the office at quitting time, he resmebled some being with all the vitality of the day thoroughly exhausted. “It won’t do,” sighed Ware one eve- ning, as he saw the boy crying softly to himself in a retired corner of the office, utterly downcast and too weak | to start homewards without a rest. | “See here, Ernest,” he spoke aloud, approaching the lad and clapping him cheerily on the shoulder, “I want you to come up to my room tonight.

I loved to have him hustle in and find us proper seats in trains.

You can get quite a lot of them for $5, and they are the cheapest thing for the money that you can buy in Eng- land. Even their fractions are nice; very desirable and convenient; com- panionable while they stay with you and remunerative when they leave. I tried to keep always provided with shillinge and their silver fractions, and duly also with pennies, which are is- sued in England in large folio edi tions. I can remember when our hon- orable little cents were of a dignified amplitude like that. Did they buy more then, do you suppose? Certainly they were of more relative importance in the scheme of things than cents are now.
