HER SISTERS AING By EDWARD MARTINDALE. | | “Worshiping a divinity at a dis-| tance, eh?” railed Don Warren. | His chum and familiar, Nate Stan-| bro, flushed and looked embarrassed. | Then he challenged boldly: “Do you blame me?” Warren cast a look through the leafy screen of greenery that shaded the river path where he had come upon his friend. In the center of a rustic bridge spanning a purling brook stood a young lady, a fair pic-| ture, indeed, in her neat walking dress and dainty sunshade cap. She| stood gazing dreamily down into the | limpid waters, mechanically slipping up and down her slender finger a| ring, her glowing face showing health, | beauty and intelligence. : “It's Miss Ava Reese of the big place up the road, isn't it?" spoke Warren, “No, 1 don't blame you, Nate. She has some handsome sis- ters, and if I w 't called back to the city T would put in the rest of | the vacation courting their attention.” | The speaker passed on his way. He and e had been together at| Hazelwood for a week.

SR the surrendered his soul's best adoration to the charming miss who had crossed his path, a fresh bright rural flower, the modest violet, and not a wilted wearied rose of the great city. “I must speak to her,” he resolved, after watching the object of his adoration in silence for a few min- utes. “She is gentle, kindly and will not take it amiss.” Ava did not change her attractive meditative pose as Nate approached. She was not aware of his coming. He was almost at her side when she started back with a quick scream. “Oh, dear! what have I done?” she gasped, turning pale with dismay, her distended eyes fixed upon the surface of the brook directly beneath the spot where she stood. “Miss Reese, something has dis- tressed you?" ventured Nate, Ava turned quickly. Involuntarily she placed her hand upon his arm in a pleading way and he thrilled at the touch. “Oh, can you help me?” she plead- ed. “See,” and she held up her fin- ger—"the ring was too large for me. How foolish I was to wear, to toy Wwith {t! There—there! It fell right inside of that little heap of rocks,” and she pointed tremblingly, with Nate's peering face dangerously close to her own. The stream was shallow and clear, but the lost object had been engulfed by the pebbles and sand. “It was valuable?” hinted Nate. “No—ob, it is not that. Indeed, T must recover it! Is it possible, do you think?” “I shall try hard,” promised Nate and descended from the bridge. Miss Ava uttered a little dissuading ery as Nate waded recklessly out into midstream, She quite besought him to desist, as he reached the spot she had indicated and thrust an arm clear to the shoulder into the eddying vater. He reckoned on it that the missing ring was held within the shallow rock-fringed pocket that she had in- dicated. Nate worked carefully. He would grope out a handful of sand and gravel at a time until he had filled his cap. Then he would sift the sand free much like a miner with his sieve. He was wet now from tip to toe, but he kept up the labors of love in- dustriously, uncomplainingly. It was With a real cry of satisfaction that he at least held the lost ring aloft. “There it he announced. With a gasp of took it from be- tween his too, will w you.” I will make a quick dash for home and call later, if I may,” suggested Nate, “You cannot know how glad T am,to get this back,” said Ava. “It s an engagement ring,” and she fondled it as if it were a proci possession indeed t to see you and thank ious precipitate hast : and started aw Ava ed | him in manif surprise, al- ing that he was discourteous. ode on in a passion of vivid Nate waded as Nate st another. . house. | sympathizing i blotting paper banks and business, and little soiled | will be hard to cure myself of this folly!™ He was terribly humbled and dis- appointed. He thought not of his wet and uncomfortable condition. His dream was over—its fair guardian irit lost to him. Oh, the bitter awakening! Nate wandered about Then he lay down on the grass to rest, to think. A cold wind came up. He reached home chilled through and through. The next morning Nate was in the grasp of a hot fever. It was a week later when he came back to something like normal coher- ency. His landlady explained to him about the flowers that stood upon the ' stand at the head of the bed. “Miss Ava Reese sent them, sir, she explained. “She has called twice. 1 promised to phone her as soon as you were well enough.” It would be pain ineffable io view that fair face again, yet Nate could not forego the opportunity. He saw a trap driven by a hand- fome young man come up to the Ava was with him in another minute. Her words were sweetest music to his ear.

P nos: W peonte real of biottin people who live should know hot the true mward- I pleasure to sit down 1o a targe, clean sheet of new pink blotting paper and in the first to soil it. White paper has to be very thic sorbing to hold its own, w only s ead of its soiling one, to e blotting ends which are used for the week's books. The blotting paper connoisseur changes his blotting vaper with apso- lute recklessness. It becomes to him like the paper target which, once marked with his prowess, nas rulfilied its function. It is a delight o cear the corner off a sheet of thick pink, and pick up as much as possfble of the blot made by an overflowing pen. But the corner ence .way the sheet loses its charm and should be re. placed by another. Blotting paper and blotting vad are indices of the household psychology. a writer in the Manchester Guarafan observes. There fs, for mstance, the which, though not very much used, has grown shiny with use, and its ac- ' quired surface absolutely refuses to pick up any ink at all. There is the pad that has been overused and has lost its absorbent power through the writing of many black and dashing notes. There is the neat pad which is always carefully tended and which suggests that the sooner all trace of writing be removed the better, and there is the blotting book, with its choice of half dirtied leaves and its surface which by no possible means can ever be as level as blotting paper should be. The ideal way of using blotting pa- per is to have two or three loose sheets of thickish white or pink, which can be thrown away, used or stolen With impunity. It is useful to be able to blot from above and the singleness of the sheet enables this to be done most eficaciously. Also it necessi- S no conscientious scruples as to te, and enables the writer to write ht ahead with comfort instead of dodging about his pages to avoid the pains of blotting.

What's up?” “I traveled downtown this morning very well content with my looks and my clothes,” Loretta explained, with a little line in her smooth brow. “Of course, I don't mean that I couldn’t be improved on.” “Of course not!” “I merely mean” she went on with- out heeding, “that considering the fact that it's me I look and dress pret- ty well.

I took the hat, :li‘""",} but when it comes home I'm going to | put a whole newspaper in the back of it to keep me from looking like a to- boggan. Then every time anybody | looks at me I'll think of that perfectly horrible line from my collar to the | top of my head and shiver.” ! “If you only could cut off your head when you wear that hat!” & “I wanted blue,” Loretta went on. “But that incorrigible milliner said black subdued my features better, so I got black. I've been wondering ever since which of my features need sub- duing. It'll end in my getting another hat, for my suit is brown.” " “Oh, you got a suit?” That's what I went for, the titting of my suit. I had to hurry because they don’t like it a bit if you are five minutes late and they make you lose your appointment. They kept me wait- ing half an hour but that’s different.” “Certainly.” “I had hardly put the skirt on when the fitter said that really she scarcely knew whether she was going to be able to make it do because I was so tall, you know. Then, too, she said, my hips were large and she'd have to swing the skirt a lot. “Cheerful, wasn't she?” “The hairdresser was just as bad,” Loretta sighed as she gathered up her gloves and hat. “She sald my hair is losing tone and luster every day. I came home after I'd been there. I was the last drop in the bucket.” “It's always darkest just before the dawn,” suggested Loretta's brother. “You know that cousin of Al's from Philadelphia whom I introduced to you the other night? Well, he hung aroung the office all the afternoon ask- ing when you'd be home, so I brought him back to dinner. He's up in my room prinking now.” “For goodness sake!"” Loretta cried as she turned to run to her room. “It you aren't the worst!
