A TRUE LOVER By GELETT BURGESS

Practical Fashions

A ounger man would have called Miss Allison effete. He mlßht have said that sbo was "burned ouL" But It was evident from Conrad's wanner that he did not think so. that he at least had hopes of arouslng her. He sUll held hor cold hand and pleaded with her. a lover amply qualified in ardor and freshness. sh did not seek to restrain him

with any gesture of protest that was not her way she gazed at him steadfastly, her hazel eyes suffused. Her eyes showed too much wearness. almost too much wisdom, for her ago; hut neither quality detracted from the compelling, romantic charm of her face; rather did It lend a more piquant contradiction to its joft contour. "Can't 1 wake you up?" he demanded. "Can't I do something to xnakf you break through yourself? Do 1 hare to set the house on fire before you will show your soul at the window? You're the kind of woman for whom men do wild things." She leaned slightly forward towards him for an instant, and. in the height of his fervor, her hand returned his pressure. For that Instant he had succeeded in shaking off her apathy. ' You're a dear!" she exclaimed, with her quick, sudden smile. "You're o young and so dellciously virile. You know how fond I am of you, don't you?" "I've a good mind to strike you!" he said. "I wonder what you'd do? Would you give one honest shriek of terror?" She patted his hand gently. "I suppose not." she sighed. "1 can't imagine your terrifying me. I'd be sorry you showed such poor taste, that's all. Please don't strike me. Conrad!" "Don't joke about it," he said, sullenly. "You know well enough what I meant!" Yes; I know what you meant. But I don't know what's the matter. 1 suppose you don't love me enough." "I don't love you enough!" he repeated. "How could I possibly love you more?" "I don't know." she replied, a little

wearily, sinking back Into the cusn

Ins Yet there might be a batter way even than that " As shi had grown more remoto Conrad becam more fervent. It was am if he haatened after her. to draw her back as often as she eluded him. I must go on!" be saW excitedly.

There was a knock at the door. "Come in!" she called, welcoming the delay. Conrad rose in anger.

A maid entered, hearing a letter, which she put in Miss Allison's hand, than left the room. In an instant

Aixnees noise had asserted Its dom

ination. She looked curiously at the address.

"You must answer me now!" Conrad exclaimed. She held the evelope In her slim, tapering fingers, delicately, as if receiving some subtle, sentient impression. "Will you excuse me for a moment while I read this letter!" she asked, trembling. "No, I won't!" he cried, distracted ly. "Why should you trifle with me at a time like this? If you mean to

refuse me. you might at least do it quickly and mercifully." "I'm not sure what I may do." she said, softly. "It may be better for you If you wait, though I don't promise It will. I don't recognize this

handwriting at all. hut somehow I have a feeling that It will help me to answer you. Of course, though. I may be mistaken. I wish you'd let me try it. Conrad." He walked to the other end of the room and stood, moodily, at the win

dow, looking out. She tore open the envelope and found two inck)uresAt the sight of one. as it fell upon her lap. half-opened, hor color changed, and her breath came faster. She read the other one first, however: Mr Dear M1s AlUson: 1 am sMttns

.ng the present spring and coming summer. A wide tuck either side of the double box-plaited closing is stitched from neck to waist, and the Gibson-like tuck over each shoulder Is stitched to the bust line In the front, and as far as the waist line in the back. The pattern Is In seven sizes 22 to 44 inches, bust measure. For 36 bust the waist requires 4 yards of material 20 Inches wide. 3 yards 27 Inches wide. 2w yards 30 inches wide, or two yards 42 Inches wide; two yards of Insertion to trim.

There hnv never been more elaborate decorations for the table than there are this winter and they are for the sake of novelty made of candy. They are nearly as costly as the real flowers. Rosebuds somewhat smaller than the original are made in pink and white and glisten like their natural irototypes with dewdrops. They cost 15 cents each, while violets as large as the best of the natural ones and seemingly lacking only the fragrance

of the real flowers cost five cents more. Jonquils are made somewhat smaller than the real size and so are the exquisite purple flags, which have the same variety of shades as the originals. The candles are an oxpensive item at a dinner when the guests take it into their heads to eat them. It rarely happens, however, that more than one or two persons make this unusual use of them. None of the table flowers is so elaborate as the large pauslos. They are also preserved In the natural colors.

pie and yellow tints. Those blossoms cost as much as 30 cents. If even guest should decide to eat one it can be seen how much of an expense such a dish would be. Among the candled fruits which are to be found In all shops none costs so much as the candied mint. Hat it Is In the end less expensive than some of the others because so little of It Is required. A pound of candled mint costs more than four dollars. But a taste is all that anybody requires, so strong is the flavor. The old-fashioned sugarod violets have been almost entirely superseded at ainner by the now candied reproductions of the flow, era. These colored flowers In candy are arranged Just as the natural flowers. There are not violets and rosebuds. Jonquils and fieur de lis all in one bonbonnlere. The same color scheme Is maintained throughout all the dishes. Just as the real Jonquils are grouped together In the

flower vases, so are ihe yellow sugar blossoms placed together with no other flowor to break the color scheme. Fortunate nowadays Is the hostess who possesses low. flat candy disher.. The tops are covered with fine white perforated papers and on them the flowers are laid. They must not be crowded together, as in that way much of their effectiveness is lost. They are placed so as barely to touch.

They do not retain nearly so much of

their beauty when put into a deep dish.

Miss Allison looked up through her tears to sec Conrad watching her

from across the room. He came over to her eagerly, his eyes shining, a.i took both her hands. She spoke as steadily as she could, making a great effort to master her self. Conrad saw her now. for the first time, perhaps, struggling openly with an overpowering emotion. She had come Into the light. i was right." she said, "this letter has helped me. and told me what my anwer should be. I have known. In my life, one truly magnanimous man.

It can be made in any strong piece of silk, satin or brocade, or in kid or leather if preferred. The lining should be of wash leather In any case, while the straps which serve to hold the pins in place should be of elastic firmly stitched at Intervals. It is intended that the flaps should fold ovor n to the needles, and the case then rolled up and tied with the ribbons as shown in our illustration.

Colored embroideries should be washed in suds made of white soap in

moderately warm water. They must

nover be boiled nor allowed to Me wet

after washing. Instead, they should be j hung up Immediately to dry In a shady place. Sunlight will fade the colors, and boiling or lying In a wet hoap will cause them to run.

An added precaution well worth adopting Is to Immerse the piece previous to washing It in water containing a cupful or two of vinegar, the object being to neutralize the alkali of the soap. Embroidered and lace-trimmed pieces should be takon from the line while but half dry and immediately ironeif to secure the best result Never Iron lace with the point of the wrong side aver several layers of flannel covered with a sheet of old linen.

Martha Washington Style la One of the Prettiest. Sewing tables, which come In every shape and variety, are always useful and pretty pieces of furniture, particularly In a flat or apartment.

The empire sewing table, which has

the saiiare shaft base and the plain

besides the additional room across me top. It has two deep drawers with
