So dry your eyes and let's talk of things more cheerful. Look at the many gifts you need to feel thankful for: Youth, ambition, not & few accomplishments and a personal appearance which most young women would be proud of. “For shame on you, Skbil Foster!” Hunter rattled on in manner till the smiles pla r accustomed places on Sybil's countenance. to To describe Sybil Foster’s appear- ance, her old friends used but few words: “A sn a word and a rose” for Sybil was rarely ever seen without a rose in her hair, or her belt, 2nd more often with a whole basket of roses on Iyt arm. Her erect carriage could not be mistaken for pride, with a capital “P” (Thls was Clarice Hunter's way of putting it.)

Dame Nature had endowed ‘oster. the d set for the auction crowds began to arrive about 1 o'clock at the Foster place, which had been & noted landmark for more than a scor of years. They came in groups of threes and fours; some on Toot, some in carriages, 3nd some in automobiles.

More than satisfied with his game was the antique furnifure man, whe chuekled to himself at visions of the dollars he hoped to pecket on the sales of each antique. Ralph Bmory, real estate agent and a lover of antlques, was among the antlque, furniture man's best custom- ers. A'dignified bachelor was Mr. Em- ory, neted fer his eecentricities but dearly loved by the few who were proud o be numbered ameng his {riends. Gossip hinted that in days gone by he had hestowed his affections upon a talented young weman whose qualities far excelled any antique relic, Taking a peep into Relph Emory's cosy apartment, we dlacern an object n one corner of the bedroom which on closer scrutiny proves to be the well remembered Foster mahogany bureau, looking very lomely and out of plac ing at his desk in the opposile corner of the same room ls the digni- fled Ralph Bmory.

Placing the two withered roses.| side by de on his desk, his mind wanders, and {f b countenance pales slightly little wonder at it, for what do the withered roses say Resting his head in the palm of his hand, Ralph Emory muses: “Twin roses!

I wonder if—" And so we'll leave him wondering. It was a very excited gentleman who appeared early the next morning at the store of the antique furniture man, manding to know how, when and where he had obtained the Koster bu- reau which he sold the day before to Ralph Emory. The antique furniture man explained all he knew regarding the sale of the Foster antiques and the courteous Mr. Emory departed without even a “Thank you!” leaving the an- tique furniture man pondering as to whether that good man had taken leave of his senses. And all this time our friend, Sybil Foster, has been resting at the home of Clarice Hunter. It was the eve before the day set Sybil to leave her kind friends for her home in the city. “Just for old times’ sake” Clarice and Sybil had been singing some familiar melodies. They were in the midst of their favor- ite song (“'Tis the Last Rose of Summer”), when the doorbell rang so loudly that both young women began to_tremble. Sybil rushes past Clarice upstairs, leaving Clarice to answer the bell. In less than five minutes Clariod calls up the stairway “A gentleman in the parlor to see Miss Foster. Sybil leans over the banister and as there is no Clarice to be seen there is nothing left to do but see the gentle- man. Calm and deflant, and with more pride in her carriage than of ald, Sybil Foster appeared in the door of the parlor. As she met the searching eyes of Ralph Emory her voice trem- bled noticeably. “You! Ralph Emory! And why have you come? Surely you cannot wish to add another drop of bitterness to my cup which is already overflowing?” For answer, Ralph Emory handed Sybll the envelope containing her withered red rose. “This,” he adds, “is what brought me hers tonight, Sybil” Very calmly he nt on to explain his purchase of the Foster bureau and the finding of the wrinkled envelope hidden in one of the drawers. “Had I known of the auction, Sybil, I should have been there without fail, not to bid for antigues, but for a treasure for excelling any antique—the Proud M Foster herself. “Your invalid mother is gone and her daughter is left alone. Can it be, Sybil, that you will allow the old pride to come between yourself and Bt eir conversation was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Clarice Hunter, who is always on hand when an_important question is at stake. Taking in the situation at one glance and adopting the auctioneer's lan- guage, Clarice shouts at the top of her old! The heart and hand of the Proud Sybil Foster to Ralph Emory, for the fabulous sum of two withered red roses.” By A DREAMER. ALINE INQUIRES FOR A SONG. Dear Sisters: Do you ever stop to think it isn't the big things a woman has to do that wears her out, but the multitude of little things that have to be borne in mind and done as occas- ion offers; or that pop up unexpectedly and must be done on the instant? Some rdays the regular housework goes on smoothly with nothing to bother, and the evening finds one not too tired to enjoy a book, to sew, or to chat with a neighbor. Other days the time seems to be frittered away and nothing accomplished; and at night the busy housewife is “almost too tired to breathe. When such days come we will find that two things will make them much casier—keep cheerful and remember |thet “tomorrow will bring another day, it all comes in a lifetime, any way, as one woman I know would say.

DAUGHTER'S ROSE JAR AND GREAT FERN. Dear Social Corn Sisters: As June is the month of roses, it will soon be time to gather the petals for a rose jar. I have two, and am going to gather petals for another this June. The petals should be gathered in the morning while the dew is still on, sprinkled with salt and epread on plates in sun to dry. Once made they are a joy forever, as the odor grows sweeter with age.
