There had been people to wait on her, and gee to all her physical needs; but for vears she had looked thess people iaily in the face and never saw them. instead she saw and dwelt among winged ungels, and sublimities among serenities assing all deseriptions and in a state of abgolute uninterrupted bilss. Educated to her finger tips in the lan- zuages of this world, she had never hed a master. In dreams she had been taught, without knowing that she was ‘eurning, all that a great and scrupulous dreamer had thought best for her to now. And as she leaned to the work of cook- ing, her lovely face, red with the heat of the fire, that very dreamer was watching her. from a ueighboring thicket, with almost as much admiration as he feit for himself. And why not? He felt what mind. He even felt responsible, but with less justice, for her beauty. At least he had selected her for his purpose from thousands and thousands of children partly because she was physically per- fect, partly because her parents had been {you “Don’t let him take me away, Tommy!" she cried. | “You leave her alone!" shouted Tommy. | “If you touch her I'll knock your head | oft.” | | But Stilliter by now appreciated Tom- my'c predicament and smiled dryly ‘Come and do it,'' he said. “You know I can't come and do it now, | dog,”” sald Tommy, furiously, “but you just wait!" | “Can't,” sald Stilliter. “In a great hurry.

Two plans had presented themselves to Tommy. He could have told Celestia to shut her eyes until he told her to open them; then he could have come out of the water and fought for her; but he dis- carded that first plan because he liked | the second better. In this he would come out of the water when she had gone, slip into some of his clothes and follow her. (To Be Continued Tomorrow.) The good example of the combination of gabardine and taffeta Is expressed In a costume worn one morning recently at. Augusta, Ga.,, by a prominent mem- ber of a party returning from San Fran- clsoo to New York. The skirt is very full and the yoke is not really u yoke at all, but a wide band of taffeta gathered in one plece with the cloth section. The joining seams down the sides show a binding of silk with tassel decoration set below the hip line, The coat is so shaped that it conceals the skirt yoke at the back, but in front it assumes the form of an Eton, belted by a girdie of taffeta, which appears to be fastened to the jacket by two orna- mental buttons, Taffeta is used to face By BEATRICE FAIRFAA. “And the way to end dreams is to break them—stand, walk, go.'" Are you Jrifting {dly in the stream of fe? Are you a dreamer? Do you sit and fancy what would be fine in life— provided it ocould be, or do you set about bringing into your life the things that shal make it spiendid. Dreams are splendid, glowing, glorious, ‘wonderful things—provided they are in- centives to action. Dreams are poor Mttle ghosts provided they are only fan- cles, and dreams are cruel jallers if they are permitted to weave thomselves over a life and po prevent the spirit that | should be up and doing from forcing it- self out into action and expression. One “f the saddest effects of dreams lies outside the three ordinary classifica~ tions into which dreams and the dreamer fall. It is the tendency of dreaming to work itself out in drifting. Drifting is generally an unconscious process. All “‘‘unconsclous processes’— | all processes which are not directed and | guided by the wind—are fraught with | danger. ! Drifting generally goes with the cur- rent of iife in general. It fits itself into events and circumstances, be they good or fll. It calls for no expression of will | posite direction from that which will| | power would direct the individual to go. | Now, whenever will power is ignored, the | danger slguals of a life are set. | The way to bulld strensth of character, |the way to work toward success is to Dreams that Never Reach Port : sand-hued hat. the ocollar and revers, and the tassel ap- plication of the skirt is repeated on the back of the coat and also on the under- arm, where the curved seam I8 termi- nased.

We exagwerate all their bad qualities and ignore thair good ones. There are too few of us who see the other side of the medal.

It is called by some the qual- ity of being ecasy-going and amiable; others name it contentment, and still others say it ie a belief in fale, or faith in providence. Nonsense!

In ffteén years he had taught her much, and prepared her for much, but then, her dream life ended for the time being, he had shown himself to her, and she had fled from him with a stranger, as it for her life. ‘Well, my beauty,” he thought, “if you must hate me, you must.

Perhaps the tide that carries the drifter is a wild and turbulent one—it may take him over the rapids of Alselpation and wreck him thore. It may carry him out into the un- chartered sea of wickedness and im« porality and there destroy him. Or the tide may bring him into collision with the bark of some other life.
