'3, qqereessossssssesssssse Pointment, a severe blow to fatherly ' Wilfred Dorsett, bright, handsome, twenty-two, engaged to Una Walden, the prettiest girl in Winsted, had been sent to the city by his father to invest the earnings of years, some fifteen thousand dollars in bonds. He had kissed his neighbor's daughter, gen-' tle Una, good-by with all his accus- tomed sincerity. He was to return in twq days. On the third there come an appalling telegram. It read: “Forget me. I have lost all the money through gambling.” From that day until this, through two lonely, heart-breaking years, old Abner Dorsett had gone about the deserted ! house like a dazed, numbed creature ! unable to rally from a deadening shock. It was Una who had won him finally from his bitterness and despair. What~ ever her sufferings, poor girl, she never let the world know their depths. She hid her misery with a smile. She felt it her duty to care for the poor old man. It was not often that Una attended any usual functions. Hers had be come & home life, but once in & while some close girl friend would tease her into attending a party or reception. That same evening the brother of such & friend became her escort to a birth- day celebration in the next town. He had shown marked attention to Una, and she regretted it and decided this would be the last time she would ac- company hirm. An open carriage from the livery called for them. The driver sat muf- fled up on the front seat in his great coat. Una's escort carelessly regard- ed him as the sleepy-headed driver he usually employed, and after they had driven a mile or two, to the distress of Una, made a flat proposal for her hand in marriage. “I am very sorry,” she said, you must not speak of this again.” “There is some other?” “There always has been!” mur it will be always “but The driver moved, stirred with some deep emotion, but silently drove them to their destination and back home again. When he tool livery he handed its proprietor a bank note with the words: “Thanks for catering to my fancy to act as a driver on a special ooca~ sion,” and kept his face shaded, as during his spell at the lines. Mr. Dorsett and Una got up a turkey dinner for the next day. That evening Una, her father and mother and her ter were invited guests, and it cheered up Mr. Dorsett to be in such friendly company. Una looked charm- ing in her spotless white bib and tucker. “All re: she announced at last, and the rowned turkey was ush- ered into evidence. “That is strange!” spoke Una,returning to the kitchen and finding the outside door slightly open. She picked up the covered dish of sweet potatoes, carried it to the table mind, “and the same bonds identically that I ordered two years ago and that Wilfred—Wiltred— What does this mean?” ’ “It means—it must mean Wiltred!” ventured Una, with a speedy gleam of ! intelligence. | “Did you call me?" interrupted a new volce, and there in the doorway stood—Wilfred Dorsett! The old man got up, shaking from , head to foot. Una stood etaring, n‘l‘ ! pitating. “It's all right, father,” spoke the ! newcomer, moving to the side of Mr. Dorsett and placing a loving, gentie hand upon the silvered white head. “You true angel!” burst forth the returned wanderer, and his arms were extended, and Una ran into them, “Ah, you were all ready for me!” Yes, there, as at every meal Una attended to in thc lonely house, was the plate set for the missing one. Next to it she had eat and there a mo- ment later those two were together. “I slipped that package into the dish just now in the Kkitchen,” explained the returned outcast. “I drove you over to the party last night, Una. I heard your answer to your escort. Then I knew I .night hope.” A More or Less Dry Remark. “I've invented a boat made entirely of cork.” “Who will man it?” “Ob, I am the cork's crew.” The Spell of Christmas. Once more, we are under the spell of Christmas. We cannot be sour or irritable or pessimistio, do our utmost. w.nnbm.nwtonlhAw He Saw. First Business Man—To what do you attribute your success?

As really good furs are fairly expensive, this is, therefore, a good time in the year for the economically-inclined to make their purchases. Very cheap furs would better not be considered, for they are too short lived to be worth while. If the choice lies between cheap furs or no furs, let it be no furs, since handsome and dur- | able furcloths make far better-looking | neckpleces and muffs than poor pelts. But there are good furs to be had at this season, with years of wear in them, at about as low prices as one can hope for. For some years the best furs have advanced in price, and it is not likely that they will cease to advance. Every- one wants them, and the supply does not keep up with the demand. So the present time seems the best for buy- ing & fur garment or neckpiece and muft. The harder furs have the best wear- ing qualities. Mink, marten, sable, lynx, and skunk, if properly dressed, may be relied upon for longest wear. Fox is softer, but is a beautiful and fairly durable fur which is dyed into deep rich brown and into black. The hair is long and silky and it makes ap | into luxurious-looking pieces, In selectyng furs let your choice fall upon straight plain scarfs for neck- pleces, and large muffs, inconspicuous as to shape. That is, prefer patterna in neckpieces and muffs that are not | odd and unusual. Altering furs is ex- pensive business, and queer or pe- culiar shapes remain in fashion only a short time, while an ordinary type of muff and a scarf or boa remain good style season after season. There is nothing in apparel that makes better return for good care than furs, and it is not difficult to see that they are well protected during the summer time. The pieces should be put away in bags containing a few moth-balls, or in cold storage. When taken out they are to be hung in the open air and beaten until flufty. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Posy Muffs and Ruffs. The newest craze is for the flowered ruffs. They are easy to make at.home. Use velvet ribbon an inch and a halt wide and once around your neck in length allowing for a hem at each end. Sew to the ribbon flat flowers about half an inch apart until the velvet is covered. Double a strip of tulle, gather, and sew to the top of ribbon and the same at the bottom. The tulle should be very full. Sew flowers on the tulle to match those on the band and fasten with a bunch of flowers at the side. A muff to match can be made out of strips of the velvet ribbon put to- gether with strips of flowers and edged with a ruffle of flower-covered tulle. Hats for Southern Journeyings F these fortunate ones who escape I winter by journeying South are wor- ried by misgivings as to what they shall wear, they may set their minds at rest. Gowns for southern tourists, | as enchanting as those in seasons | past, and millinery as exquisite as has { ever been worn, are all at hand. Whether or not they are inspirations from creators of styles in Paris or in America is not the important matter. They are here and they are lovely, | and those who wear them or those who go to see them are not to be dis- appointed. In hats for southern wear the pana- ma is playing the leading role. There are many shapes to choose from in this beautiful weave. Among them moderately large hats on the sallor order, with either straight or rolling brims, and others that droop back and tront contrive to be becoming to al most every wearer. Many people must confine their trav- eling to America this year, and a great- | er throng than ever will see and be | seen in the fashion parade grounds of | the South. What is worn there will be | worn later in the North. Styles that |lnrvive and for which a demand is | created will become our fashions for | the summer season. It is pleasant to | contemplate, therefore, the survival of such attractive headwear as the two bats shown here. A dressy panama, in shepherdess style, is edged with a narrow border of lace and trimmed with a band and hanging loops and ends of velvet rib- bon. A flower motif with foliage is applied flat to crown and brim with- out any attempt at regularity. This is & wonderfully chic and elegant bat. The second hat has been christened with several names, each with reler ence to the straw of which it is made. One hears it called “the lemon straw,” many oolors. It looks best in the straight-brimmed shapes, of which an example is given here. Polnsettias, simulated in ribbon, or other flowers posed flat against the crown, make a most effective trim- ming against so brilliant a background. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Bits About Blouses. It i1s fashion's decree that fussy blouses have had their day—for a time at least—and so we must give our attention to much simpler designs. They are extremely smart and very becoming to most women. This season we have a number of new blouse materials, most important among which are the pussy willow silks and a lovely new chiffon crepe, known as georgette crepe. Unlike chiffon, the georgette crepe needs no net foundation, for, while it is quite thin, it is more opaque and washes beautifully. The pussy willow silks come in a heavier quality than crepe de chine, and are a sort of cross between that and messaline, with a fine subdued lus- ter to them. Either of the two fabrics just men- tioned will work up nicely in a blouse* in white, palest pink or yellow, mauve, navy, pea green or rust color. These are the smartest blouse colorings just now. Velvet for Dusting. A plece of velvet is a fine cleaner for the brass and for polishing silver- ware it is better than chamols. It quickly removes the dust from wood- work, and if used to rub the stove aft- er it has been blacked it will produce a high polish. There is nothing bet- ter to dust a felt hat, and silk dresses and other silk articles should always be dusted with it, for it cleans per- “the barnyard” and “the rustic.” This last best expresses it. It is woven of large lustrous straws and shown in fectly without cutting or otherwise injuring the silk. .No. 84. 123 No. 89 ATLANTIC COAST LINB ‘126, Jacksonville ... . Lakeland .. . Tampa ..
