Oflice Phone 410 SICK ? $8 eland Sanitarium F these fortunate ones who escape 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 sailor order, with either straight or rolling brims, and others that droop back and front 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 survive 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 hats 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 hat. The second hat has been christened with several names, each with refer ence to the straw of which it is made. One hears it called “the lemon straw,’ “the barnyard” and “the rustic.” This last best expresses it. It is woven of large lustrous straws and shown in which an 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 ilks 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 waghes beautifully. The pussy willow silks come in &' heavier quality than crepe de chine, and are a gort of cross between that and messaline, with a fine subdued lus- ter to them. Bither of the two tabrics just men: tioned will work up nicely in a blouse in white, palest pink or yellow, mauve, Davy, 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 chamois. 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 fectly without cutting or otherwise injuring the silk. About the Selection of Furs UST at this season, when the long | end of winter is behind us, furriers and dealers in furs are usually willing to make some concessions in prices. 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 neckpieces and muffs than poor pelts. But there are good furs to be had at this season, with y 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 The harder furs have the best wear- ing qualities. Mink, marten, sable, { RETERE i i E as to shape. That is, prefer patterns 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 & 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 dificult’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 untH 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 rufiie of flower<covered tulle.

The young lady realis- | ed that it would be difficult as well as | inconvenient for him to return to lAxm-rlc:n to marry her and consented to go to Chile for the wedding. This , was a very satisfactory arrangement, and Willard was bappy over the pros- | pect. He bought a house, furnished it 'and made all esseatial arrangements { for his bride's reception. | Miss Andrews wrote him of the ! steamer on which she would go to " Chile, the date of her departure and ' the date of her probable arrival. Wil | lard counted the days till she should ‘ come and his loneliness would be end- 'ed. He had made a number of good friends among the Chileans, and they bad volunteered to do all in their power to make the lady’s residence among them a happy one. | One Monday afternoon the ship on | which Miss Andrews was coming was | announced to arrive the next morn- (ing. Willard made arrangements for |l simple noon wedding to take place on the day of his bride’s arrival, to { which a féw friends were invited. | When the steamer arrived Willard was on the dock, looking up to see his fancee. He saw ber standing beside | a gentleman, and when she caught his ! eye, instead of greeting him with a ! happy smile, she looked embarrassed ;llunnlu-bum. among the first to do 80, he joined the lady, who introduced ! bim to the gentleman beside ber: ! “My husband.” ! The voyage bad been a long one She had met a fascinating man, and the two had concluded that the most satisfactory solution of the problem would be for them to be married be- fore their arrival in Chile. Willard would accept the inevitable without unnecessary prolonged torture. Thus ends the first part of this story. The second parg is in this wise: Willard in order to recover from the shock bethought himself of another girl at home who might Mke a hus- band even if he did bring her to a dis- tant land and entered upon another correspondence with marriage in view. He was equally successful in this case | as the other, and It was not six ! months after his mishap before he ' was engaged again. A great deal of sympathy had been | enlisted for him in his disappoint- [ment, and his friends were much | pleased to hear that, after all, he was i to be made happy. He announced | that this time he would go for his ! bride and bring ber back with him. | A sea voyage was a poor place for con- stancy when there was temptation at band. He had suffered once from this cause, and be did not propose to take the rub a second time. Willard 1n order to get away for so long a time was obliged to take in a partner. This he did. And when all ‘was running smoothly be set sail for | the United States with the blessings of many friends showered upon him. The women sald nothing as to his former matrimonial experience, but the men | shouted to him from the dock, “Don’t trust ber on deck without you,” “Be ware of the captain if be is good look- ing” and other such innuemndoes upon the constancy of woman. In due time Willard returned with his bride. Now that be was married innuendoes would be in bad taste, and it was agreed that they should not be wade. But owing to the groom’s pre- vious episode every effort lady who bad safled for the United States on the same vessel that Willard bad taken when he weat to be married. He was the color of a bolled lobster. “Why couldn’t you have courted ber here,” asked the men, “without going all the way round the Horn and up the Atlantic?” “Gentlemen,” said the groom, “if any of you doubt Cupid’s power on an ocean voyage try it and see for yourselves.” Novel Means of Communication. Wounded British soldiers in the hands of the Germans have hit upon a novel way of communicating with their families and friends at home. They subscribe small sums of money to the German Red Cross soclety, but as few of them have any cash they fill up a draft or sign a check to be sent to London and honored. On the back of the draft the banker is requested to communicate the news of the drawer's safety to his home. Tommy Atkins thinks it is well worth a dollar subd- scription | '|fFOR THE 1 was standing in a room crowded with men and wowen b e ening dress when | heard a cheery feminine voice Dear we esclalm: “Why, Tom!” ; “What luck!™ responded a young man, with blond bair, parted In the: middle, and his chin beld up by a very | high collar. | “I dou’t know & person here” said | the girl, who bad spoken irst. “Nor 1. 1 would rather have met you | than own a gold mine.” Munwumwmuomml i | don’t expect. but whom yon wish to meet?” Happy smiles illuminated the faces of these two youngsters, whom it made me bappy to look at. Indeed, there was one especial reason for my enjoy- ment of this pleasant surprise, for it reminded me of one that had occurred in my own family years before. In the sixties—I refer to the last cen tury—my’ fatber, then a young wan. went out to Denver to grow up with a new town. Albert Reeder bad gone there a few years before with his family for the purpose of building u stamp mill on Clear creek. up in the mountains, and had become interested in the extraction of gold from ore. My father, who was as poor as a church mouse, found work in the service of Mr. Reeder and was sent up to oue ot his stamp mills, where he soon became superintendent. Mr. Reeder thought my father one of the brightest young men in the world and was ready to do anything for him till he discovered that his em- ployee had a love affair with his daugh- ter, Agnes. Then he suddenly turned against bim. The trouble was that Reeder had a prospect of soon becom- ing very rich and bad begun to cherish expectations of Agnes marrying either a duke or a prince or something of that order. The young couple were in a peck of trouble in consequence of the old man's refusal to consent to their union, Of course the watter rested with Agnes. My father couldn't do anything with- out her concurrence, and she was in- disposed to break with her father. But her father must have been uncer- tain of her, for he ordered her to get ready to go back east to stay awhile with an aunt. Agnes seemed disposed to yleld to his commands. She wrote my father that he might come down from the mill and say goodby to her. He did #0 and there was a very affect- ing scene between the lovers. Inasmuch as Agnes was making her ' preparations to go east and it was supposed that she was bidding her lover a last farewell, no opposition was made to the two youngsters seeing as much of each other as they liked. They spent a whole evening m«.' during which Agnes told my father | that if she mdrried bim her father would disinherit ber and that she would lose a very large fortune. Her mother was bitterly opposed to her marriage with my father, for it was she who was determined to exchange the wealth she would inherit for one of those rundown titled foreigners who are in the market for American heir- esses My father was the more cast down because, while Agnes talked about her mother's wishes in this matter, he was not quite sure that Agnes herself was not inclined to the plan of warrying a title and was accustomed to do pret- ty much as she pleased. However, there was nothing for my father to do but submit, and he said goodby to Agnes lugubriously. One thing he knew—Iif she was disposed to obedience be could not move her, and it she was not disposed to obedience her parents could not hold her. ployer's opposition to bhis marriage, was continued in his position and the morning after his farewell left for the mil. He always rode on the outside of the coach and climbed on top, where he resigned himself to brooding over the severest blow one can receive, whether young or old—separation from a mate. From Denver the road westward ex- tends for fifteen miles to the base of the mountains, then rises abruptly. The morning was bright to every one on the coach except my father, and those inside seemed to be having a hilarious time. My father thought nothing of this, for stagecoach travel- ers always become acquainted. and he supposed they were enjoying each oth- er's companionship. They were approaching the base of the mountains when a voice from be- low called out that Jim Harkaway— that was my father—was wanted in- side. Nothing was further from his | inclination, and he refused to descend. | But the request was repeated, and at last he climbed down and entered the coach. All looked at him expectantly. and one of the men said smilingly: “Every one loves a lover. Cheer up, young man! If you must bave a girl here’s one for you.” He pointed to an old lady on the back seat My father looked at her wonder- ingly, and suddenly she threw back a vell and exposed the smiling features of Agnes. This meeting between my father and | mother came back to me s 1 looked upon the young couple and saw their expression of pleased surprise, only I fancy my father's was far more ra- diant. There was a clergyman in the coach, and the wedding took place then and there. Formation of California Coast. The geologists tell us a strange story of the California coast. Ages ago its mountfin peaks, mere reefs in a great expanse of sea, rose to such a height that Santa Barbara channel was a vast valley over whioh roamed the elephant, camel, lion, saber-toothed tiger and other animals whose fossil remains are scattered over the coun- try and some of which are found on RALAY COURTESY CHARLOTTE HARBOR AND NORTHERN “BOCA GRANDE ROUTE” SAFETY FIRST.
