BEST OF COLORS IS BLACK For Evening Wear the Darkest of Shades Has Everything to Be 8aid In Its Favor. Have you been thinking about your ievening gown for the coming season? I0f course you have, for what woman | does mot vislon and decide and change about and decide all over agajn when it comes to the most at. ‘tractive gown of all the feminine ward- robe? For it 1s under the soft and shielding glow of the evening lights that beauty is at its best, all its charms vivifled and all its faults taithtully concealed. This is nothing less than a plea in tavor of the black evening gown. It you are one of thase who have fafled to sound the depths of its service and charm, do not allow another season to pass over your head without realizing its powers of fascination. Variations of the black gown may be as numerous as there are women to wear it. While the cost of one gown I8 represented in four figures without any periods between them, another 18 covered by a single figure. The best of it is that the one figure model may be quite as attractive as the four, depending entirely upon the imagination and' skill of the needle that fashions ft. Novelties for Small Girls. Frocks for wee girls made of barred or plain lawn stamped for embroidery and already made up and hemmed cost from 60 cents upward. Linens and chambrays cost more, but any of these are a boon to a mother, who likes to scallop and add the fancy touches, but who is not clever at cut- ting out and putting together the dress itself. Charming pinafores of colored lin- ens or of white, embroidered in colors, make pleasant summer work for those who plan ahead tor Christmas. The stamped patterns are really attrac- tive; flufty kittens, processions of ducks and floral designs are all ap- propriate and amnging both to donor and recipient. WHY ?

In short-sleeved summer dresses, which have no pockets, and in which it is hard to find a place to carry a handkerchief, a common rubber band worn underneath the sleeves is a cenvenient place under which to tuck a handkerchief. A narrow rubber arm- let covered with ribbon to match the calor of a dress makes a dainty can- trivance for the same purposa. Perfume Bottle With Long Stopper.

That s about long enough to reap the shekels of the credulous and to avoid the attentions of the police. Of course. more money could be made by remain- ing longer—in fact, it is the perma- nent clientele that pays—but then Madame Yogara could not afford an- other police court case. The last one had given quite a knock to the busi- ness. She had advertised rather discreetly, by means of handbills, and that same afternoon, as she was preparing for the seance, a young, smartly gowned, rather common-looking woman called. “Madame Yogara?’ she inquired. “Let me introduce myself. I am Mrs. John Lewis, and something of a me- dium myself.” Here she winked bra- zenly, “Yes?" querled Madame Yogara, on guard. “Now, I'll come straight to the point, because there's no use beating about IF YOU WANT YOUR SHIRTS AND COLLARS LAUNDERED The VERY BEST Lakeland Steam We are better equipped than ever for giving you high grade Laundry Work.

I take it you are out for the money?” “All I can get,” smiled the medium. “And you wouldn’t be averse to a nice little windfall of a couple of hun- dred dollars? I see you wouldn't. Well, there's an old fool living here called Grimsby. Seventy years of age, and just ripe to swallow anything you tell him. He wants to marry me, but he wants to pass on his coin to a child, a girl with about as much brains as her father. Leastways, he doesn't want to do it, but he has a sort of%sense of duty.

There’s going to be trouble. And, say! Does that old Enoch Grims- by take his girl to the seances?” “Never,” answered Timmons. “She’s at a boarding school. Sort of neg- lected, you know, and they say he never sees her more than once a week, miles out of town.” “Find where it is, Timmons, before the seance.” “Sure!” grinned Timmons. The seance was sparsely attended, for the first night is not usually a profitable one. At a dollar a head, this would only bring in sixteen. It is those who go home that bring the trade the second night and the third. Still, the little group ceriainly got their money's worth. The spirits of Li Hung Chang, William Ewart Glad- stone, Mary, Queen of Scots, and Cleo- patra, not to mention numerous de- ceased friends and relations, appeared and hob-nobbed familiarly with the circle. Presently the voice in the cabinet piped: “Anybody here named Enoch?” “That's me!” exclaimed an enthusi- astic old gentleman who had been staring into the darkness with rapt at- tention. “Well, Minnie wants to talk to you and the lady at your side. She can’t come out—the influences are not good. The astral force is weak tonight. Come to the cabinet.” Enoch Grimsby toddled toward it, Mrs. Lewis at his side. A spectral figure in white flowing robes ap peared. “Minnie!” exclaimed Mr. Grimsby. “Yes, it is Minnle, Enoch,” said tha | spirit. “It is the wife whom you turned | % out of your home and sent to wander | i about a cruel world.” “1 thought you—you'd forgiven me, Minnie!" pleaded the old gentleman. “Well, 80 1 did,” answered the spirit. “But I'm worrled about Ada. You don’t treat that child right, Enoch. You treat her better, or I'll haunt you to my dying aay.” “What do you want me to do, Min- nie?” queried Enoch Grimsby. “Take her home!"” whispered the spirit in a sepulchral voice. *“Remem- ber she's your daughter. Give her pretty dresses. Have private tutors and music and singing masters for her. Love her. And make a will to- morrow, leaving her every penny of your money. And put that Lewis wo- man out of your house, because she's after your money, you silly old fool, and cheating you with evil spirits that pretend to be me. And if you don't obey me to the letter, you'll hear raps all night about your bed—and that'll be me!"” “She's lying! It's a lying spirit!” exclaimed Mrs. Lewis in a panicky voice. “She isn't your wife, Enoch. Tell her to lift up her veil.” “Won't you let me see your face, Minnie?”" inquired Mr. Grimsby hum- bly. “You'll do what I tell you if I con- vince you?” “Yes, Minnie, I swear I will.” The spirit lifted its veil. Enoch Grimsby stared incredulously into his wife's features. Then, with an un- earthly scream, he fell unconsclous to the floor. “The seance is ended,” said Madame’ Yogara, coming out of the cabinet. Mr. Grimsby was revived and taken home, Mrs. Lewis threatening ven- geance and the police. But Madame Yogara only smiled wearily. When the guests had been bundled out of the house she turned to Timmons. “Best stand in months,” she sald. “At least, it would have been tomor- row. But that Lewis. woman is up against me now. We'll have to catch the ten o'clock train for Springfield.” “Yes, Madame Yogara,” sald Tim- Jnons. “It does seem a shame, though.” “Well, I have my reasons,” answered the medium. “So you be at the station with the properties at flve minutes of ten. And have a cab for me here at eight. I'm going to drive out to— where did you say that school was?” “Fordville—two miles west, across the river.” At nine o'clock, as the school gates opened to permit some fifty girls to pass out, two by two, upon their morn- ing walk, an elderly woman in a faded traveling dress stood near, scrutiniz- ing each face. She approached the teacher in charge. “I should like to speak to Miss Grimsby for a moment,” she said. “I am her aunt—but I've only five min- utes, and I've come a long way to meet her.” “Ada Grimsby!” said the teacher. “Your aunt is here.” Tho young girl and the woman of fitty-odd looked hard at each other. The resemblance was unmistakable. “I didn’t know I had an aunt,” sald the young girl. “My dear,” said the medium, “you aren't likely to see me again, so you needn’t tell your father. Just kiss me once and—here {8 a little present for you. You needn’'t mention that eith- er.” And she kissed her and put the fitty dollars into her hand. Then the pupils resumed their walk. “Now what did T do that for?” the medium asked herself, wiping her eyes ; b e | provement of the race by spiritual | upon her travel-stained handkerchief. + (Copyright, 1914, by W.
