When be came down the next morning and tramped Into his otllce. 1m found the girl seated at her tablo. her brown head bent over her work. He was just n little surprised to find her there. Persons he engaged had a way of promising to come back and failing to do so. Ho knew that ho was to blame for this, and he rather gloried In the thought. But here was this strange girl at her place and looking as if she meant to stay there. She as a neat -looking girl. Her hair was tidy and there was a bit of white airout her neck that softened the effect jpf the black frock. And in a little vase in front of her was a liower, a red tlovver of some kind a flower, he told himself, that looked strangely out of place In the dingy room. And then the man suddenly stared about him. Both the windows were open, and they were clean, and the sunshine was streaming in. And there was a general air of freshness about the place that was quite untaxing and the odor of cleanliness was fairly pungent. "Good morning." said the girl sweetly. This girl was going altogether too far. What did she mean by taking such liberties? He would show her that he was not the sort of man that could be Imposed upon. No donbt she had been spoiled tn the office of her father her dead father. "He looked up. The girl was standing by the desk. "The men from the telephone company will be here at 10 o'clock to arrange for moving the phone." she sa: i. "and the typewriter is being put in order Do you feel the draught from the windows' He growled an inarticulate word or tw i and the girl turned away. "Oh." she said and turned back. "Mary, the woman who cleans, asked me to tell you that he wjn't In an was responsible for the improved appearance of the office She said she wa quite willing to let me 'ake all the credit.

THE FAILURE. Just Why Annette Did Not "Accomplish Anything" That Time. "Both Haven Boink to stay with you over ihe tournament!' Bvn Parry oxein! med "I didn't know that you and Ueth Haven were such friends." "Which merely goes lo prove." Annetto retored. gully, "that you hnvon't soen Beth Haven's brother, who Is coming also. Six feet one. my dearnnd such eyes' I met Ulm at tho game last fall. They are to stay three days, nrd if I can't accomplish somethlrg in three days " There was not need of finishing tho sentence. Anybody who know Annette knew oxnetly how It would ond. It was raroly Indeed that Anette failed to "accomplish things' where boys were concerned. Beth and her orothor arrived that afternoon. Annette met thorn at the station, a very picture of a girl. Beth, the most generous little creature in the world, admitted It freely. She walked silently besldo Annette and Tom. who were chatting gaily. When they had reached tho house, however, and Annette was leading them to their rooms. Beth asked for Annette's mother. "Oh. sheVbusy somewhere round," Annette answered, carelessly. Perhaps If Annette had seen the surprise in Tom Haven's eyes it might since she was quick have told her something: I tit she did not. As soon as her guests came down, she took them out on the lake, and It was not until supper-time that they met Mrs. Keith. Aunotto performed tho introduction carelessly. "Oh. here's mother!" she said. "Here are Beth and Mr. Haven, mother" and not another word did she address to her mother during tho meal. After supper, when they were on the piazza. Mrs. Keph camo to the door a moment. Tom sprang up to qffer her a seat She glanced wistfully at Annette, wh i did not turn her head, and with hurried thanks the mother slipped away, and was seen no more that night. The two days following passed In the same wav. Once Beth, finding that Mrs Keph was in the kitchen most of the time, begged to help: but Mis Keith refused with such dismay tht üeih retreated at once. It was terrib'e to the girl, whose own motherwas her children's closest comrad. Her only comfort in the situation was th it Tom vvas evidently seeing things, too.

BLUE HATS FOR MEN. New Fashion That Is Rapidly Becoming Popular in London. Blue hats for men are the latest fa.xhion. sas a London cable. They can he obtained in all tints, from the ordin -v navv" ranging throughout the choice of cornflower, wedgwood, ami bha des to the very palest blue. These new haw are made of felt of Alpine -hape. and are on sale in the West End. at 11 shillings each. "Blue hats for men for summer wear are quite tho latest craze, said a representative of a well-known firm of hatters. "We have already sold so many that we have not a single blue hat left in stock." One of the rules given to women who w'.-h to improve their looks is to wear a color near the faco which matches or tones with their eyes. The brown-eyed or dnrk-eyed man or the gray-eyed dandy has had all the luHi previously, for fashion has allowed him to carry out this rule. But now is the first time the blueeved man has had a chance to enhance his charms in this manner. The blue hat Is most frequently worn with a gray or light check suit, and to complete the effect tho tie and socks must match the hat. Another curious fashion his arisen as a result of the introduction of tho blue hat. In many cases the blue Is chosen to harmonize with some part of the attire of the wearer's feminine companloon. The matching of colors worn by both the man and woman who may bo married or engaged may become an outward expression of twin souls. A woman, for example, who has a fancy for royal blue suede shoes, sunshade and headgear must have n husband who fancies royal blue hats, ties A girl with a passion for a wetlgwood toilette must not think of becoming engaged to a man whose taste runs to carnation pink tie and green suits! Another hat shown In the Strand, which Is also being sold In various kinds of blues, is the "Aero," a soft felt of cup nnd saucer shape. The Theaters of London. "Good seats ln tho best theaters of London are pretty dear," "remarked Mr .Tav F. Durham, a distinguished j newspaper man and voternn globe trotter. "The prevailing price Is 10s. fid., or about $2.ßo in our currency. Tho pit 1 a good hit cheaper, being only Ü shillings. Th-re is no etpecinl theater district In London as In most of tho big American cities, but line playhouses ate to be found away out in residential sections, miles distant from the business quarter. In this country, were a theater, no matter Low magnificent nnd well equipped It might he, established in a remote street. It would be a financial failure. s It could expect no patronage. The London theaters are also a great dea smaller than those of the United Sutes, hut ln the matter of comfort they are Infinitely superior. They have largo, easy chairs and do not put taom bo close together as to make (Titrnnco and ixlt a painful and dlsagieonhle task, as Is loo often the cas-a over ! here. Baltimore American.
