I SUNDAY TOWN By AUGUSTUS GOODRICH SHER- WIN. “Looks like as if every day was Sun- day in this dead old town, eh, neigh- bor?” remarked a patriarch of the town in question. “That’s right,” asserted a companion very slightly his junfor in local his- tory. “The Norths made it, the Norths killed it,” added the first speaker sententiously, and then both glanced quite appropriately over at a great unoccupied factory building, with small structures and any number of workmen’'s cottages about it, also un- occuplied. Gloom and decay were expressed in the presentment. The great gates of the plant beyond which once trooped happy and Ropeful artisans hung loosely. There was an array of broken windows. Here and there the cement casing of the factory bad crumbled away. The yards were overgrown with weeds. Dismal desolation was suggested at every angle of vision. | The history of the great abandoned plant of John North, for ten years a busy hive of industry, had engulf9d| the history of the town itself. At the | height of seeming prosperity there had come an awful crash. Stories of' speculation, of extravagance, of enor- mous outside investments were rife. A receiver had been appointed, the' assets of the business sacrified and | Walter Drury, the young manager of; the city office of the plant, was ar- rested and sent to the state peniten- tlary for ten years on a charge of | forgery, embezzlement and falsifying the books of the concern. Drury was unknown in Fairfield load lots. A happy, contented ing community grew up around great plant. One year, two years, three years and then a great event was chronicled in the little weekly news journal pub- lished at Sunday town. Paul Moore had piled up such great profits that he had paid off the bond issue, bought out all the other interests and had be- come the sole owner of the business. Honors piled up for him on every side, but he remained the same silent but substantial citizen. He was of- fered the mayoralty chair and refused it, other and higher district political preferment was tendered, but he seemed to shrink from publicity and from being conspicuous. “I wish to ask you something about the family of Mr. North,” he said to Judge Martin one day. The lawyer told him that Mies Eu- nice North was teaching school. The rent income from the plant had en- abled her to place her two younger brothers at college. “I wish her to return here to take ! up her rightful position in the world,” sald Moore. ‘“What do you mean?’ inquired the fudge wonderingly. “Just this: through the easy lease given us at the start by the North estate, from the nucleus of the old business here success and a fortune have come. I am a grateful man. I propose making over to Miss North a half interest in the business I now own. At my own expense I wish the old North mansion restored.” “Strange man!” murmured the law- yer in almost awed tone. “Further, I wish the name of John North restored upon the front of all the buildings. He built this business originally. He shall have all the credit.” So it was done, and so from obscur- ity Eunice North and her brothers came back to the old-time affluence and comfort. Paul Moore evaded seeing the young work: STYLE IN UNDERDRESS 28, 1914.

They were given ! into the charge of an aunt in a distant : state. The plant and the splendid North residence were left to the es-! tate, but stripped of their contents. Nobody wanted to occupy a plant or & mansion with which such gloomy memories were connected and both had remalned vacant. It was on the very day that the two , old ploneers discussed the situation of i o i “The Norths Made It, the Norths Killed 1t!” what had become widely known as “Sunday town,” that a stranger ar- rived on the afternoon train. He was neat in his dress, tall, dark, and re- served in his manner. He registered at the one little hotel of Fairfield as Paul Moore and his first visit was to | the office of old Judge Martin, who ! nominally had what was left as the North estate in charge. After that this Paul Moore became a famillar figure in the town. His bearing was impressive, sad and sub- dued. He was kindly and courteous to those he met, but conversed briefly on all occasions. “A strange man, but full of wonder- ful power and sense,” remarked the judge one day to a friend. “I f&ncy‘ he is going to be the coming man of the town.” “Why, what do you mean?” was surprisedly queried. “Haven't you heard that the plan is to start up again?” “Why, no. That will be good news for the town, indeed!” “Yes, Moore has made all the ar- rangements. It appears he has no money, but a marvelous business adaptability. He has got some capital- . feminism and the preaching of the pale and troubled. “Mr. Moore,” she sald, “I have sought to meet you to thank you. And now in the light of a new discovery I must have your confilence—I fear, more, your forgiveness.” “What do you mean? inquired Moore in a low tone. “I do not believe you are Paul Moore—I belleve you are Walter Dru- ry, the faithful manager of my dead father, who suffered ten years of im- prisonment—unjustly.” He was silent, his face grew a trifie paler. “Speak to me!” cried Bunioe; “you are Walter Drury?” “Yes.” “Since returning here I have found some old papers. It was my father's complication that involved you and you sacrificed yourself—* “You mistake,” interrupted Drury quickly. “Your father committed some errors, for which as proprietor of the business he could not be held amenable. To shield him I bore the burden. Shall I tell you why? He saved my father from ruin years ago, he gave me my first business position. I loved him, I saved his honored name, I have restored it—I am con- tent.” She was near to him. She seized his hands, her tears, her kisses show- ered upon them. He told her he planned to go away so he would not be a reminder of the old trouble. She bade him stay, for without him now life would be lonely. And so, they were married. (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) Seems to Be Going Too Far. A recent divorce case in New York has revealed the fact that the dicta- graph is now in common use by jeal- ous wives who suspect their husbands of undesirable conversation with other women. In this particular instance the wife had installed a dictagraph in | order to overhear her husband’s con- | versation with his women patients, and we learn with surprise that there is a company for the express purpose of promoting this sort of thing, and no ! doubt it does a flourishing business. There was a time when it was consid- ered dishonorable even to wish to overhear a private conversation, but then this was before the advent of gospel of sex hate—San Francisco' Argonaut.

Two years ago the lingerie frock was of mousseline de communion; last year it was of white chiffon; but this year it is to be of white taffeta, or of white or black taffeta or satin, veiled with white or black lace.
