Agnes Morion appeared to be in one of her cold, calculating moods this afternoon; but Cecil Sargent bad the temerity to approach her, and not on a mutter of business connected with Cbaniters & Chalmers, wholesale dealers in dress goods. It was a more personal subject that lie had to broach —a much more personal subject. He stopped at her desk and tidgeted for a few seconds, shifting Ins weight from one foot to another. Agnes appeared unusually beautiful tills morning; in fact, Cecil could find only one word to describe her, and that was “gorgeous"—and of course that wasn’t tlie right word. Cecil’s hesitation was not occasioned by the fact that the young woman was his boss, by reason of her holding the position ns sales manager, while he was but a salesman. He felt trepidation because lie knew he was not in her good graces; she had showed it all- too plainly on more than one occasion of late. But he just had to speak once more concerning the subject that made his world go round. “Agnes,” lie said, in a voice that almost faltered, “isn’t it about time you set the date fo;- our wedding?” She looked up from the letter she was reading and smiled slightly, rathper pityingly, it seemed. “Well, hardly,” she returned. “I don’t remember that I have definitely accepted, your offer of marriage as yet. I wits considering it some time ago, I’ll admit, but you’ve been such a wretched business failure lately that I’m on tiie point of giving it up. You don’t imagine I want to marry u failure, do you? Do you realize you haven’t sold a hundred dollars’ worth of goods in a month?” Cecil realised it all too well. But what was lie to do? He was a good salesman, and he knew it; but he had been so worried lately over Agnes that he couldn’t keep his mind on his work. Every time he failed to make a sale he sank that much lower in her estimation, and every time lie dropped a notch in that Respect he lost just so much of his business ability. It was an endless chain, with nothing hut disaster pulling on the end of it. '“I know it,” lie confessed in answer to her Indictment j- “Vmj. If you "woTritb- only give conragement, perhaps I’d coil ns a salesman. You’ve got me Jd, Agnes.” She tapped her lips with tire eraser end of a pencil and studied him intently. He was a niee looking young man, she realized that, and he was bright and clever,, too. Still, those things counted for naught unless they brought results. Agnes had no intention of supporting a husband; when she became tied in a nuptial knot she expected to retire from business and devote herself to htmsekeepiiig. As she looked at Cecil in that scrutinizing manner she realized that he was becoming careless in regard to his appearance.

Costumes .assume greater importance each hour, especially in the frock and jacket or frock and cape, which are adroitly varied by frock and sleeveless box or mandarin Jacket cornmnutlons. Both women and misses exhibit marked interest in these adaptations. Some manufacturers are showing crepe in a number of frocks that art ■decidedly straight in lines. One frocl has a cerise ribbon running throngl the pockets, around the square necl and down the front. Another suiar crepe frock is shown in white uni finished off in black, with trimming ■of black buttons. The crepe costume is shown it solid colors as well as mixed, one model being in orange, having a green silk thread making a check. The green is repeated in the bindings of the neck and sleeves.

Confound Mr. Carson! So he was delaying the game. He was a young Englishman, the last word in fashion plates, who was touring America. At 0:4() the boy appeared and Cecil leaped into his trousers. Without stopping to ascertain whether they actually had been pressed, he Hung on ids top-coat and hurried out to a taxicab, which yanked him toward Adelaide’s hotel. But a flat tire caused delay and Cecil arrived fifteen minutes late, to be informed by Adelaide’s aunt, who traveled with her, that she had gone to dinner with Mr. Watters, thinking Mr. Sargent had forgotten his engagement.

There is no denial that the threepiece frock is selling extremely well, and there is also a strong demand for smart taffeta dresses. One model had its coat designed in long-waisted lines, girdled attractively and trimmed with a circular ruffle. Coat buttons run up to the neck and a smart crisp collar ifldorus the coat itself.

LONG GLOVES SUMMER-STYLE

Sixteen-Button Length to Go With Warm Weather Outfit; White to Be Popular.

Disconsolate, Cecil went to a cafeteria to dine alone. He had intended taking the buyer to a fashionable cafe, but this serve-self place was good ' - enough for him. As he hung up his coat and seated himself he noticed several persons looking at him and snickering, and lie laid it to the loud tie. He wished it was in the garbage can, where it belonged. "Why Mr. Sargent! This is a surprise !” He looked up and saw Adelaide Araherson carrying a tray. Then he noticed Mr. Watters, who had gone on and found a table. How he hatedthat dude, who, by robbing him of Adelaide, was robbing him of Agnes and | happiness! — — ■ ♦ -s n or?/* Suv hhrul _

Long gloves or short for summer? Styles of gowns make the styles of gloves. Therefore summer frocks will demand the long IG-button length. The sleeves on summer frocks are either going to he very short, just a mere suggestion of sleeves or so long and wide and sheer that they demand the very long gloves anyway. With maids and matrons of every age becoming more and more enaraouredrbf the all-white costume as the season progresses,' the long white silk glove will enjoy an unprecedented popularity and will doubtless achieve a state of elaboration and originality of design never heretofore known. There is a novelty glove that thoughtfully considers the woman with the tlifH, arms. The IG-button silk glofe is overlaid with two silk puffings run with elastic. The elastic holds the glove up on the arm and the puff-, ings give a desirable fullness. The bracelet glove is another IG-but-ton novelty wtiich lijrs two embroidered bands in contrasting colors at the wrist.

“Mr. Sargent,” she said, speaking rapidly. “1 want to dine with you. I’m going to give Mr. Watters the slip. Think of him bringing me into such a place! lie thinks my order is cinched, but I’ve changed my mind. Wait in front for me. Why. you adorable hoy !

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS

For the Wedding Gown.

To the small town or country boa wife who has not easj access to a market there is a great satisfaction in tlie knowledge that no matter who comes site is prepared for an emergency. This first aid in an emergency Is a well-stocked shelf kept filled with foods which may be used in a hurry call when husband brings home unexpected company. With canned soups or home canned soups or broths one may make a good dish for the beginning of a meal, then with u jar of salad dressing some sort of a salad is usually easy to prepare. If one lias time a berry pie makes a fine dessert; or a shortcake, using canned fruit, is always a favorite. The foods used will depend, of course, upon the taste of the family, and if one is to be prepared the canned food, whatever it is, should be replaced at the first opportunity.

Black Moire Silk Faces the Collar and Tuxedo Front of This Coat Suit.

An extraordinary touch which may perhaps set a new fashion for wedding gowns is seen on a bridal robe. The dress itself is conventional white satin, with an unusually long veil trailing for many yards and sharply squared at the ends, which are weighed with clusters of orange blossoms. The extraordinary touch is the introduction ot a bit of color. Long, loose-like panels sweep down from the shoulder and these are faced with the faintest green. The gown thus repeats the white and green of the bridal bouquet at its side, and the gleam of color is fascinating,

“Must be the tie.” lie deckled. “It knocked her cold. Hut where does the king come in?”

Then he caught a glimpse of his trousers. They wore creased on the sides!

Some buyers express the belief that there will be a great vogue this summer for the silk dress built on simple lines, rather than for the cotton frock. Heavier types are thought to be the materials most likely to be favored. Hoshanara and heavy cantons especially are believed best adapted to the straight lines and conservative styles of the times.

“Don’t you think,” she suggested, “that a shoe shine would help to sell goods? And do you know that your tie is crooked and the pointed end of your tie-pin is sticking out like a sword. And you have a dinner engagement with Adelaide AmberSon this evening; don’t forget that.” “Tell you what I’ll do,” she continued, “if you sell Miss Aniberson a good bill of goods I’ll set the date 1 How is that for something definite?” Cecil gulped. “Oil, all right, fine!” he replied, and went away, feeling more discouraged then ever.

“God save the king!” he said fervently, and dropped into his chair.

Original Meaning of “I. H. S."

The inscription “I. H. S.,” .was originally the Greek letters, “iota,” “eta” and “sigma,” the tirst three letters—or, as some authorities say, file first two and the last letter —of the Greek word for “Jesus." In later years the origin of these letters having been lost, they were mistaken for the Latin capitals, “I. H. S,” and a Latin word was found for each letter, as follows: "lestis Ilomlnum Salvator,” Latin for “Jesus, Savior of Men.”

Fringed Sport Skirts.

The seeds will readily come from .raisins if boiling water is poured over the raisins and allowed to stand for a few minutes before draining.

Seeding Raisins.

Fringed sport skirts are very smart, and when not completed with a coat of some sort, are matched up in scarfs. In fact, scarfs of the same fabric are sold ns complements to such skirts.

Sell a good bill of goods to Adelaide Amberson, eh? That would he a herculean task. Adelaide represented Smith & Brown, the biggest dress goods buyers in the state. Every time she came to town the salesmen made a wild scramble to see her; but for three years Chalmers & Chalmers had not sold her for a cent, although -one of their representatives always took her out to dinner. James Brothers had been the lucky ones, and Cecil knew the reason. They employed a “he vamp for a salesman, a fashion-plate of a dude, one Henry Watters, who charmed Adelaide —somewhat of a “vamp” herself —into buying goods. Women in business certainly were making a mess of things. Agues was too practical and Adelaide too unpractical. The former demanded too close adherence to business principles and the latter had no regard for them. The man who could captivate Adelaide with his clothes was the one who landed the order, and Cecil certainly was not a good dresser; that is, he could not go to extremes. Henry Watters stunned her with his clothes and made her buy while she was unconscious.

This anagram is said to have originated with St. Bernardine of Siena' in 1347. According to other authorities, tlje letters are the Initials of the words, “In Hoc Signo,” Latin for “In Tins Sign,” miraculously displayed in the sky before Constantine and hijr army.

Fancy and Color Combinations Extend to Cotton Frocks for Porch and Morning Wear.

One smart little gingham frock seen recently, in a yellow and white check, was trimmed with latticed insertions formed of white organdie set lengthwise of the skirt so ns to give it a panel effect, the waist being similarly treated. A row of the insertion trimmed each outer sleeve and the neck was finished with an organdie frill.

A few fans of fish, such us salmon and tuna, sardines and clams. If liked, some jars of sliced dried beef, and hacon, peanut butter, cans of corn aud tomatoes, with a bottle of good salad dressing, which may be stretched by the addition of cream, a bos or jar of cheese, are a few of the foods which will be most commonly used, not forgetting several cans of good soup. A most delicious tomato sauce may be made in a hurry from a can of tomato soup, using it with cold meat or hamburger steak, if at hand.

The fancy and color combinations so much in evidence this spring extend to simple cotton frocks for porch and morning wear.

Fascinating Old Copper. Tlie Jewish people, by reason ot their religion, have always held their copper household utensils and brass candlesticks in loving regard. Their use of copper cooking pots dates back to that ancient time when they were commanded by God to place no iron on the fire of the Altar of Stones; when the tabernacle w as raised in the wilderness in the time of Moses, its furnishings were of gold, silver and copper. (In tne King James version of the Bible it reads “Gold, silver, anil brass,” hnt in the Hebrew text it reads “Gold, silver and copper.”)— M. Holden in Country Life.

The lavender shades, green, blue, including* periwinkle, which have had so much publicity, and the vivid dandelion yellow which is now occupying a prominent place in the style procession, are all featured in gingham, with rather small checks preferred. White and one of the colors are usually combined in a small check. Of course, the vivid Scotch plaid ginghams are still used, especially for children, but the preference is for two-tone effects in the small patterns. Linen is to be worn more this season than for several years, due primarily to the fact that it is more reasonable in price, but an all-linen frock does require n great deal of pressing and laundering to keep it in presentable condition, as all linens rumple

Organdie is a fabric that prdlnlses to have a strong vogue for summer and if a good quality is selected an organdie dress will give splendid service. It is easy to laupder, requiring no starch, and needs but little in the way of trimming.

When taking dishes to a church supper or hall, mark them with mall bits of adhesive tape with the name written in ink. This will not wash off at all easily, and one may identify one’s property with little difficulty.

Old Talecloths.

An old tablecloth which has worn through around the edge of the table can be made into an attractive lunch cloth. Cut it off where it is worn and use the outside part to make a hem between two and three Inches wide, slip the edge of the cloth between the two edges of the fold and hem.

When baking a crust for a filled pie, bake it on the bottom of the pan, pricking It lightly with a fork; this keeps the crust from blistering.
