Why can’t Frederick and [ just go down to the chapel some day when we get ready and be mar- ried without any fuss? “Did you ever hear of anything so preposterous? Why, I was simply out of my mind for weeks before I was married. I thought of nothing but my clothes. I struggled with them all day and dreamed of them all might, and that's the normal, natural way for a girl to feel.” Mrs. Henderson, aunt of the repre- hensible Alice, laughed. “Why don't you let Alice do as she pleases?” she inquired. Mrs. Clinton trowned. “Now, I sup- Pose you're going to take her part,” she sald. “But it isn’t a particle of use. She's the only daughter I have, 20 this is the only wedding I shall ever have in my own family, and | am determined to get some fun out of it. You won't belleve me,” harking back to her grievance, “but the other day when I asked her if she'd like to have you go with us to select her wed- ding gown she looked more interested than I'd seen her for weeks. ‘That would be lovely,’ she said. ‘But do you think there's any necessity for my golng? Why don't you and Aunt Florence go by yourselves? I could have spanked her.” A few days later, as they left the stationer's shop, after ordering the in- vitations and announcements, with Alice presumably somewhere in their rear, Mrs. Clinton sald in a tone of satisfaction to Mrs. Henderson: “Now We can devote the rest of the morning to the wedding gown. “Show us some of your bridal satin, she said to the clerk a few later. “That’'s an exquisite plece,” she continued, as he held up the soft, shimmering fabric which fell in graceful folds over his “It 1s beautiful, isn’t it Henderson. sonable. better.” “It 18 pretty,” sald Mrs. Clinton re- flectively, “but, of course, I'm not going to take the first thing | see.” The clerk displayed bolt after bolt of material and was rewarded at the end of his labors by hearing Mrs. Clinton say: “Thank you very much. Now we'll go and look at some of the lighter materials. “l haven't quite decided what the bridesmaids ought to wear,” she re- marked a short time after, as she and her sister examined plles of soft, deli- cate chiffons and fairylike silk mus- lins. “If they wear chiffon, 1 don’t want Alice to, of course, and I think champagne chiffon or veiling over messaline would be lovely for the maids, but I intend to decide positively before anything is sald to them. “Now, we'll go to Blank’s and look,"” she sald complacently, when they had examined every possible material in the first shop. “I'm gof to see everything before I decide. Some time later, after they had vis- | ited every possible depository of wed- ding gown material and had examined #0 many things that they could hardly bave distinguished brocade from cheesecloth, with tired faces and dis heveled locks, they returned to the first shop and bought the plece of satia which they had first looked at. Whea 1t had been cut off Mrs. Clinton heaved a sigh of relief. “Now,” she said, “Alice, you must go right up to madame’s and let her take your measurements. There's no time to be wasted, for dressmakers ure so provokingly elow.” She paused a moment, but, recelv- ing no respo! she Inquired: “Don't you think it's lovely, child?” There was still no answer. Turn- Ing, she found ‘hat ske had been ad- dressing the empty air. There was no Alice anywhere near. She looked at Mre. Henderson and Mrs. Hender- son looked at her. Then the two gasped In unison.

Nelither of them could remember when they had last seen the prospective bride. Finally, as a last resort, they re- turned to the bookseller’s shop where they had ordered the announcements. There, tucked up In a corner, o deep- 1y engrossed in her book that she was unaware of their presence until they had stood, speechless, in front of her for several seconds, sat the unregen erste Alice. She greeted them with the sweetest of smiles. “Did you get the dressT” she asked. “] knew you 414n’t really need me, s0 | wher ! found you were gone i Just' | walted i . Not Entirely Heartbroken.

I'm not going to leave my estate so that there will be a family squabble over it. I'm going to divide it up. Here. Now. Fairly.” Claud, the lawyer, who had changed his name to Claudius, because he fancied it sounded more classical, pricked up his ears and looked serious. “I'l tell you at the start,” pursued the indulgent father, “that whoever takes Idlewild here, the family home, will be the wise fellow in the end. “You can have your choice, Claud, being the eldest—the home or $25, 000 cash.” “H'm!” observed Claudius gravely, “with a vast political future ahead of me, the ready cash will best help me reach the destined goal of my ambi- tion.” “Very good,” nodded Mr. “And you, Monty?” “I,” replied Montgomery with short and snappy precision “expect to re- ceive a general's commission in time. The money will help me get it.” “And you, Hank?" “I am devoted to club life, in debt and need a fixed cash income, my good father,” he said, “so . fancy the ready money would suit me best.” “Of course I'll take the old home, if I'm lucky enough to deserve it,” spoke bluff honest Jack. Stephen Dale darted a grateful, af- fectionate glance at his youpgest and favorite son. He drew out the three Dale. checks and passed them around. “One word more,” he spoke, as their recipients arose to get them ' cashed as quickly as possible. “There’s something else. See here, boys, my experience teaches me that there's nothing so steadies a young man as getting married. Now then, to the first one of you who takes a wife 1 will give $10,000, to the second $5,000, to the third, $3,000 and to the last, $1,000. By the way,” he added, a suggestive twinkle in his merry eye, “I'm thinking you won’t have to look far to find the prettiest heiress in the country right nigh to hand.” Each one of the three knew whom he meant—Miss Dalia Bliss, not a mile away. It was said she was to have half a million in her own right. It was strange, but each one of the | trio departed determined to call upon the young lady in question and see wow the land lay. Two mornings later Claud met Hen- ry and Monty. He informed them that he had called upon Miss Bliss the eve- ning previous. Her father had been greatly interested in his long talk about the law. Then Monty in undress military uni- form went to see the heiress. Henry's turn followed. He fancied he was irrecistible and languidly in- formed his brothers that he believed he would take the girl on a chance. Miss Bliss had beenedreadfully em- barrassed at being taken by storm by thiree impetuous suitors. had told them in her pretty, artless way that she was already engaged. About three o'clock one afternoon Jack, plain, simple, unostentatious Jack to the end of the chapter, direct- ing some men in parking a roadway running through the estate, looking over in the direction of the Bligs home had noted a blue ribbon futtering from one of its windows. He quietly left the direction of the workmen to one of their number. In a few min- utes Jack had gained the hedge separ- ating the two estates. Soon Dalia appeared. Certainly Jack ‘was her friend, that she should signal him and now make a confidant of him, and pour into the willing ears the story of her persecution by three great overgrown boys! “And such nice brothers of yours ! they are,” she told Jack. “What a terrible escape they have had in evading the wiles of a young lady who is not duly awed by their grandeur and importance,” smiled Jack. It was the next morning that the ! three city brothiers were ready to de- part. They were just completing breakfast when Jack made the re-' mark: “Father, if you don't mind, I think ' I will run up to the city with the boys.” “Surely, son,” responded Mr. Dale. “You will need some money, 1 sup- pose?” “No, 1 have encugh for the one pur- | chase I intend to make,” assured Jack. “It's a ring, father,” and he darted a teasing glance at the lawyer, the sol- dier and the fop—"a ring for Miss Bliss. You see we have been engaged for the last six months.” | “Ha! ha! ha!” chuckled old Ste- | phen Dale, slapping his knee with vim as the trio arose from the table and | sneaked away, looking bored and em- barrassed. “It seems to me, son Jack, | that you've got the best of it all | arcund!’ Then she | | | 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 i 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 for 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 the 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. They look like ornamental sofa cushions. | | One smart shape is the crescent, with a small opening at each side for a hand. These big muffs are not stiff-| ened, and they are so soft that they roll up like a ball. Miles Here and There.

In Switzerland the hardy mountaineers think 9,163 the proper thing, even when, as generally | is, it is very much uphill.
