Miss Chilton was forty- four years old, and her sister four years younger, and neither of them bad ‘ever been in love or expected to be. They were cut out for old maids and were very well satisfied. For eight long years not a single lished. It is only fair to explain that 'the farmers’ sons within two miles old place never visited by drummers. Before putting the Jirls on their ‘(honor the Misses Chilton had care- fully looked the field over. There were half a dozen young men, but they were lame and halt and homely. There was Deacon Bradshaw, a widower who dyed his hair and acted colty now and then, but the sisters figured that he would not dare go beyond ocertain bounds. No; the Place was safe, and that was why the shock came with such force when it | did come. There was a shock one summer morning. One of Mr. Du- pont’s powder magazines didn't blow up and level the cornstalks for ten miles around, but ‘ie shock shook | Chilton School from cellar to garret. Fanny, the elder sister, returned ! from the village one forenoon and fell | in other sister's arms in hysterical Grst ploncer. ‘Then the elder Miss Chilton dropped into the postofiice saw with her own eyes and al- B tistaction at once. There threats to leave the school. or four days of troubled maids solved the prob- called on the postmaster informed him that he must at once remove his nephew.” “But why?” asked the old vet, who EFgsid gefi had heard nothing of the gossip. | “Because he—he flirts with our pu- plls!” “Don’t blame him a darned bit! If I was a young feller I'd do the same.” “But he musn't! You hear—he musn’t! It will break up our school.” “Nonsense! If you'd done a little flirting yourselves in days gone by you'd have been all the better for it I want Clarence here, and here he will stay” . “Sir, we shall appeal to the post- master-general!” was the awful threat, as the old maids retired. And appeal they did, and right on the ground, too, that the assistant postmaster at Rockwell was a flirt and bringing discredit on the depart- ment. It isn't likely that the official read the letter or reply, but some clerk who sympathized with the as- sistant answered: “Flirtations are not forbidden by the rules of this department unless they seriously interfere with the work of the officlal, and we do mot think that is the case in this instance.” The Misses Chilton had been sure they could oust the young man and drive him back toward sunset, and the fallure was a great disappoint- ment. “I'll tell you what we must do,* sald the elder sister, as the case was talked over. “We must not forbid the young ladies going into town, but we must select the most steady and de- mure among them and have her act !as chaperon for the rest. She can take up so much of that young man's time that he will have none left for flirtations.” These two old maids, brought up on oatmeal and the New Testament, and neither having ever been es- corted home from prayer meeting by a man, thought they knew all about | made chaperon was the biggest flirt in the school. She was a model chaperon while within sight of the school buildings, but once the village was reached it was: “Now, girls, scatter and have & good time, but don’t too many of you Jam into the postoffice at once.” And as the days went past the Misses Chilton grew secure and com- placent, and now and then the elder said: “Sister Flora, you must give me credit for perspicacity in this case.” “I do, sister Fanny,” was the reply. “But for you our school would have been broken up by this time. Have there been any further reports of fiirtations?” “Not a one, s!ster.” “How grand to be able to under stand human character!” Two weeks lator and then the whole world seemed to be spinning around like a top. One afternoon the “de . mure” chaperon was missed. Search ' was made, even under the beds and ‘Their Day Had Come at Last. mood. When she had been soothed ! and petted for five minutes she con- | trolled her emotions sufficiently to exclaim: “Flora, it is our ruin!” “There’s—there’s a young man in “N-ooo!” “1 have seen him with my own veyes!” « “Impossible, sister!” “And have found out all about bim!” “And he is an escaped convict?” “Not exactly that, but almost as bad. Ob, sister, we shall have to close our school within & month!” “But tell me.” ‘The postmastership at the village of Rockwell had been held by an old ‘war veteran for many years. He was falling all the time, and had finally sent out west and brought on & nephew of his and made him as- sistant postmaster. This nephew was & young man named Clarence Sprague, and for smartness and good looks his like had never heen seen He arrived one even- p his duties next morn- ing. When half a dozen girls from the Chilton school rushel in at 11 o'clock, giggling, laughing and cutting up, there was a new face at the gen- eral delivery window—a new face and | & good-looking one. The owner of that face smiled at them and flirted with them, and the bevy ran out with & great clatter and slapped each other on the back. Their day had come at last. It is not to be imagined that those girls returmed to the school to give the news to the old maid sisters and plead for protection. They returmed to tell other girls, but to swear them to secrecy.

It was ex- tended into the country, but in vain, No one had seen a demure young lady of steady appearance paddling along through the dust. There were two persons in the school that got no sleep that night. When morning came they went to the postoffice in the hope of striking a clew. They were not disappointed. The old veteran was on duty, and at sight of them he rubbed his hands together and said: “Come right in, ladies; I bave solved the problem!” “We are looking for Miss Blank,” was the reply. “And you've come to the right place. I lent Clarence my horse and buggy yesterday to drive off and marry her, and now all your trouvies are o'er. He can't flirt with any of the rest of the school!” Secret of the Sea. A secret of the sea was partially re- vealed when the schooner Lily put in for water to a small island a hundred miles south of the Hawallan islands. A small cabin was found sheltered in & grove of palms, and, on crossing the threshold, the sailors were horrified to find the dead body of a man, sitting in a chalr, his hand resting on a table, and firmly clasping a small book. Upon searching, there was found a compass, watch and chafn and some ccokin~ utensils. The book | was a diary in which the man had set down the day’'s happenings, but not a word as to his name or how he came | there. From the entries it was deter- | mined that he had been on the little | island three years. The body was buried, and so ended the life of this unknown Crusoe.

Rich satin, faille and moire rifbons are used for girdies and hat trim- mings. Girdles are either plain, of striped broche, or a combination of ribbons. Velvet brocades have entire velvet figures, or satin flowers out- lined with velvet. Velvet stripes ap- pear in dark, rich roman ribbons. Many rich ribbons are very dark, | such shades as dark brown, navy, pur- ! ple, mahogany, russian and stem ° | greens, etc., and are blended with hair ; ;lines of black, yellow, scarlet, pale * | blue and green satin, or one wide one of black satin. Girdles and sashes of ' brocade have a rich effect with a plain colored gown. For evening or dancing gowns rich satin girdles are worn, and fancy stripes set off a simple serge or cotton dress. Soft finished ribbons = are used for crush girdles. | Tinsel ribbons heavy with gold or | silver scrolls or flowers are very hand- some and are used for girdles or lbr| collar, vest or cuffs. Ribbon tassels : |§ of black ribbon are fur tipped and used as a coquettish finish on some of the close turbans worn tipped sharply on the side. | Nursery Laundry Bag. | a laundry bag for the nursery is made of cretonne or linen, gay in color, or with Mother Goose designs. Two yards of material make a com- fortable big bag. It is gathered at i top on an oblong shaped sewing hoop. Then sew a pretty ribbon at the top, attach at either end with a | bow, and it is ready. It will prove an easy thing to hang up in the child’s closet. New Muffs Are Large. ! ‘The new muffs are immense.
