Initials and monograms are more often placed In the Mtef of the cases, but rather athe ends, the latter style being much favored some years ago. Old English lettering is very fashionable, so also i3 fancy script. More elaborate designs show monograms and initials delicately entwined with wreaths and tiny eyelets.

Lovers' lano was the name given to
well-worn path that ran through a ! piece of woods about Ave miles from I the Lamson farm. The city to which
i Mira was supjHised to have gone to at ' tend a revival meeting lay another five miles beyond the woods. Hiram made
a long detour so as t. annroarh the
tryst ing place from the back of the woods, instead of from the turnpike. It still lacked 15 minutes of the appointed time when he came within sight of the blasted elm. In the gathering dusk Hiram espied Mira, seated behind a tree some 20 paces from the blasted elm. and he heard the whlnney of tl;e faithful Dobbin, tethered somewhere near at hand
"Seems as ef Claude wasn't in sm h a hurry to keep his appointment as Miranda was. She came out here hot foot to see that city dud-, and there he keeps her waitln'. Ah.

Half an hour later as they enterpd the house and Hiram made a light. Mira exclaimed: "Hiram Lamson. there's been thieves hre' Everything" turned upside down." Investigation revealed losses in money, plate and jewelry to th amount of $1.200. "Bless me. if those robbers haven't actually had the impudence to leavt heir cards'" exclaimed Hiram. Lying face downward on the dinlnK room table were two calendars which had been torn down from the wall. On UM back of each a name was printed n pencil, in largo, ill formed charac 'ers: "CLAl'DE."

to match, having a narrow border that harmouizes with the center decoration on spread. A bed dressed In this manner with lingerie coverlet makes a most dainty appearance, and looks especially well with the dull satin finish brass, now in vogue. A rich, antique yellow satin looks especially well and is a very fashionable hue fur bedroom decorations. This color seems to blend very well with the deep cream filet lace.

polka dots and a small bow knot in the center, forming a running border above top sheet. Quite as tempting In their way. If not more so, are the new bed coverlets hailing from Iceland, Germany and France.
Those who are troubled with Insom nia or neuralgia will find these rolls to be a source of much comfort and satisfaction. Two designs are shown, both hand embroidered One is decorated with square medal Hons of cutout work and delicate de signs of padded embroidery, the whole mounted over a pink satin slip Another slumber roll has a wide ruffle hand scalloped, attractively dec orated with blind embroidery, and a novel touch Is given in the little ribbon finish at one end.

In this way partners are found, then have a bowl of berries for each couple, the man to string a berry necklace and the girl I watch chain; the ends to be tied with the ribbons.
