"I shall take the credit for the entire affair," said Mrs. Ted, with a sigh of absolute relief. She leaned forward In the coupe, and watched the bridal carriage move leisurely away from the curb before the church. Through the open window she caught a glimpse of Rosamond's head, with Its veiling of old rose points, and orange blossoms for a crown. "She hasn't a thousand dollars to her name, and he thinks she has millions." Cousin Dexter did not smile. In the first place, he was too well r-ed ever to smile at any of Mrs. Te.Vs eocial maneuvers, and another tht. It did not appear to be a comic moment to him as he listened. "So Charlton thinks he is getting an heiress?" he queried innocently. "I have told no untruths," Mrs. Ted returned, placidly. "I merely suggested things. You know the way. She was my guest, and so was he. And it will be splendid for her." "Why?" Dexter's tone was odd. "Why? Because he has the fortune." "So Charlton has a fortune V Dexter merely repeated her words as though they amused him, and it Irritated the lady. "He is Stephen Charlton, Is be not, of Nevada? What more do you want to know? After the senator, his father, died, he went out West and turned Into a marvel at silver mining, and has reaped a fortune. It is a splendid thing for them both. He said he wo lid prefer to marry a girl with money, so she would be happy, and while I don't pretend to understand what he meant, of course, I knew as long as he had so much it couldn't possibly matter whether Rosamond had any or not, and they love each other dearly, so there you are." "Clever cousin mine," laughed Dexter, suddenly, as they drove away from the gray stone church awaiting the happy pair." "What do you man?" Mrs. Ted demanded quickly. "Nothing at all," smiled Dexter. Rosamond had tossed his suit over her impertinent, thin, young shoulders with no regard for his feelings or bank account whatever, and had chosrn Steve Charlton as her prince of dreams. AndvDexter knew the truth ibout Charlton. A strange silence had settled over the harpy pair as the train .whirled them out of the Grand Central on their honeymoon. Mrs. Ted had even "Dear, Dont Cry. Don't, I Can't Stand It." loaned them her bungalow up on the Cape Cod coast, and all the wings of fortune seemed fanning adverse happenings away from them, but the two sat facing each other In the parlor car, and neither spoke. "How beautiful you looked under that rose point veil," Charlton said suddenly. "We will treasure It, dear, won't we?" Rosamond smiled with a flash of ner old whimsical self. "We caAnot treasure It, Steve," he answered. "It was loaned to me bj Mrs. Ted." Steve said nothing. It seemed odd that the heiress to many millions should have to borrow a tose point lace veil to be married in, yet he fancied there tmght be some sentiment about it too deep for the mind of man to fathom. "Are we going straight out to Nerada after Cape Cod, Steve?" she asked presently, as the train turned out of Mount Vernon towards the sound. Mrs. Ted had painted pictures of th Charlton lodge In the mountains that had cost close to $200 000 to build, where the waning- days of the honeymoon would be spent. Ted grinned a bit grimly. " "I'm afraid the life would be too rough for you, Rosebud mine, there In that eld shack of mine. We'll take a place at the Springs for a while, until you get used to It all, I can ride back and forth once or twice a week." "But I want to go with you, .Steve." "It would be too lonely for you." "Oh, I suppose It would." She said no more. Why couldn't he understand that no place on earth would be lonely where he was, that she would gladly wear doeskin and moccasins ind tramp the wild ways with him? B'ot he wondered how a palace of a (200,000 lodge could be lonesome. THE FAIR SEX Women, Invading Every Field of Sci'ence, Anxlcus to Try Flight.

FORRESTER

A telegram had been handed her by Mrs. Ted at the depot. She had crushed it in her hand, unopened, but now, as Steve took up a magazine, and actually started to read it, she remembered the envelope, and tore it open. It was brief, and from her only brother in Seattle. "Best love and congratulations to the happy pair." Something In the message made the quick tears spring to her eyes, and tremble on her lashes. The happy pair. How could she ever be really happy when she knew that Mrs. Ted had deliberately Invited her to Beauvolr. In the hope that Steve Charlton would take a fancy to her, and marry her? He had seen her portrait first of all. and had fallen In love with that, so Mrs. Ted declared, and it wa3 a good match. Rosamond hated the word a match, a bargain, and excellent sale! She looked up, and met Steve's troubled glance. He saw the tears, and reached for her hand3, In spite of the rest of the passengers. "Dear, don't cry, don't, I can't stand it. If any one has made a mistake, it Is I, and I'll stand for it. I should have known better all around. But 1 knew it was what you had been used to, and as long as I couldn't give it to you I thought it didn't matter. We loved each other, and my cousin is bully good to mo out at the mines " "Your cousin?" faltered Rosamond. "The other Steve Charlton, you know. The millionaire kid they call him out there. I'm only the understudy. I'm chief mining engineer at the Dominic Coalition, that's all, dear. But I'll make good. I'm getting three thousand a year now, and making stray bunches on the side. As the Coalition grows, I will grow, too. If you can just be patient, and do as you please with your own fortune, I will climb up beside you soon, in the money line " "My fortune? I have no fortune, Steve." Rosamond's hands grew chilled In his strong,-close clasp. "What do you mean?" "Mrs. Ted told me you were heiress to Heaven knows how much real glit ter," Steve explained, laboriously "I've hated your money ever since ) heard of It, but it had to go with you, and I couldn't afford to wait. I wanted you, don't you know, girlie? Too don't blame me, do you?" "And you haven't any fortune yourself?" Rosamond's eyes were soft and tender. "Divll a bit," laughed Steve, rec lessly. "It's coming." "Neither have I, dear," she told hin, happily. "Mrs. Ted Just made It all up so we would marry. She evidently thought you were the millionaire kid, as you say, for she told me so. and I've been miserable playing the part of the beggar maid to my king. Isis it a nice little shack, Steve, where we're going to, 'way up In the mountains?" Steve thought for a minute, and pulled out a time-table. "It is," he said, finally, emphatically, "and we're going to it now. We'll get off this train at New Rochelle, catch an express back, and go straight for Charlton Peak, Nevada, as fast as a western limited will take us. I don't like being patronized, and petted, do you, lady?" Rosamond flashed back a smile, in her old, happy way. r . . "I may not be an heiress, Steve, she said, half seriously. "But I'm a splendid cook." "You won't have to cook. I keep heathen Chinee.' "t At the New Rochblle station, a wire went back to Mrs-. Ted. "Don't worry about us. Going west Have one thousand in cash in the whole world between us. . "The Happy Pair." Swiss Girls as Golf Caddies. Girls aro employed as caddies on the Algle links, in Switzerland, and they are said to do their work unusual ly welL Many Americans have woni dered why girls are not selected foi such work by American club3. Id Switzerland the girls are decidedly picturesque In their native costumes. They are considered preferable to boj'3 by old men, because they nevei laugh when a " golfer make3 a bad shot or smashes a stick. Thi3 13 con Bidered a boon, for urchins on the American links take a1 mischievous delight in the wrath of a discomfited golfer. In America and England, however, It is argued a girl cannot stand the strain of the work of a caddy. It Is said girls have nelthci the strength nor the sporting instinct to make a good caddy. Said one Amer lean golfer concerning girl caddies: "The foreign amateur golfer, whose chief qualification for being on the links is his correct golfing suit, no doubt prefers to have a girl as a caddy because he at any rate Is sure he will not be laughed at for his clumsiness, whereas ho knows he cannot escape the derision of healthy young urchins" Safe. "You may cay what you- pleaso r.bout poker, but It never hurt m any." "Oh. you are one of those fellows' who always win, are you?" "Nope, I'm one of those fellows who nuver play."

HATS FOR WINTER THOSE FOR DRESSY WEAR ARE STRICTLY ORNAMENTAL. New Headpieces Have Discarded the Suggestion of the Practical and Offer no Protection Whatever From the Cold. Winter hats, intended for evening or other dressy wear, have discarded the suggestion of 'the material. They are strictly ornamental head-pieces and take no notice of the element of protection from the cold. Except for the prevalent introduction of fur, and the material of which the body of the hat Is made, one might consider them designed tor summer wear. Shapes, save the day for brims still droop in a becoming and sheltering way. Velvets, nets and laces are called 'nto use for the bulk of trimmings jtufTs, while ostrich plum is and flowers add the finishing touches. The hats shown here are types of winter millinery in which laces are used for decoration. Many dress hats are made entirely of lace or not. In these a band of fur about the crown, a flat bow of fur or borders of fur on ribbon or silk drapery, give the touch that speaks of winter. In Fig. 1 a hat of heavy white satin is overlaid with a coarse silk net and lace of Russian mesh. It is trimmed with a collar of small ostrich tips, the sort known as "Heads." In the model they are white. This Is not a difficult hat to make and would be pretty in colors with black lace overlay. Fig. 2 shows a large hat of velvet, with an "aeroplane bow" of lace. In this case it is a plaited fan with wir supports. A velvet collar and a small Alsatian bow at the front finish the pretty mode. Light felt hats aro effective trimmed in this way. In Fig. 3 a beautiful hat in shellpink corded silk Is shown, with a drapery of lace made of a circular piece which is tacked over the shape. Four beautiful plumes are mounted at the left side and are the same color as the silk. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. WEDDING VEIL IS IN FAVOR Various Attempt From Time to Time to Banish or Supersede It Have Failed. From time to time attempts are made to banish or supersede the wedding veil; but, in spite of all objections, it still persists In the favor of the" bride, who Is apt to be sentimental rather than reasonable. The way of wearing it, however, has been largely changed; many brides now wear the veil as a sort of cap, not falling over tho face at all, but fastened back with a circlet of flowers. In front It reaches only to the knees, but In back to well below the ankles. s Tulle, except, for those who have rare and beautiful old lace, is succeeding lace in favor; perhaps because there Is no danger of having part of the design ornament one's nose or eyel A soft tulle veil, properly drared, fastened by invisible pearl-headed pins and falling over a coronet of jewels or of blossoms, is as pretty a sight as any wedding guest could hope to see. Dress Trimming. A charming Paris model for an afternoon gown was seen recently, which depended for Its adornment entirely upon a sort of fagoting of self-material. The gown was a light fawncolored challls, and on tunic, underskirt and girdle and down the front of the blouse the material was slashqd and reconnected by crossed lntersecticiis of the challis, rolled tight Into tubular pieces and sewed to Ktrni?ht bands SO as to rivn tho nn. pearance of fagoting, or of catstitch. The same effect has been seen in silk, and It Is very .retty on a rather thick material, though not suited to fabrics very thin or delicate In appearance. USE OF OPEN MESH CURTAINS Just the, Thing for a Room Where Plenty of Light Is Desired. In a room where it is desirable to haye plenty of light, yet not be open to tho public gaze, curtains of heavy wide meshed nets fish net3 or some of the fancy nets of rather heavy quality are just the thlnS. These should hang ratfcer plain, and for a single window or a very wide window like tho store of a small shop can bo hung as a &hade v ith no fullness. A,stri!;ins one 13 made vlth a herCef down each ride and across the' bottom of fio-.cred i-hintz. This is set well In from Uc eSgcs, fully the width cf the stripe.

FROCK FOR THE SMALL LADY Cashmere In Dull Shade of Tan Is Recommended for Garment Shown Here. Here Is a pretty frock for a young lady of eight, summers or so. It la made of cashmere in a dull shade of tan and trimmed with embroidery In self-tone, with a touch of red. The front of the blouse Is laid in a center box plait, with two tucks at each side, the back has merely the twq tucks on either sldq of the closing. The sleeves and blouse are in one, the band of embroidery which outlines the neck extending over the shoulders in a pointed tab. The skirt is tho conventional side-plaited affair, the telt and cuffs of the embroidery. The hat worn is of soft tan felt, with trimmings of dark ted velvet ribbon. SKIRT STRAP A SURE BOON Greatly Aids the Amateur Dressmaker in Keeping Gores and Plaits in Place. The skirt strap, ambiguous as' it sounds, is no relation to the shawlstrap! It Is simply the little stitched strap of self-fabric that holds the pleats of the skirt in place You will see It appearing on all the new models for heavy cjoth skirts; for fashion has said,, "Narrow:" and narrow it must be. There are usually two straps on each side of the skirt, almost meeting, and sewed- on a little below the knees. Sometimes, when there Is a pleated blouse (and it is a three-piece suit cr a one-piece costume) tho straps are repeated over the pleats or, again, on the sleevs. Certainly they are a boon to the amateur dressmaker who finds trouble In keeping gores and pleats where they should be; they save labor afterward In cleaning and pressing, and they give a natty, tailored appearance to the smart cloth gown. Simplicity Is Good Taste. Think of the woman whose house, whose appearance, whose conversation creates the best impression, and you will realize that absolute simplicity Is the secret Remember this when selecting your clothes, decorating your house, also when you meet strangers on your holidays. Unfortunately simplicity is not always cheap. You will often havo to pay more for the hat of simple lines, the frock of fine material and exquisitely simple design than you will for something more ornate and dashing. To Keep Needles. A soda mint bottle, with a little screw top, makes an excellent holder for needles, to keep In the workbag. It is especially good for damp ell mates, as the needles will not rust It can be made a thing of beauty by covering It with a bit of the material of which the hag 13 made (preferably silk, as this will work up better) ; and a workbag given for a present is doubly acceptable If some such little thing aa this la added to give a distinctive touch.

Ä Lover's Lobsteir

By DONALD ALLEN

Copyrighted, xgio, by Miss Kitty Henderson bought all her shoes at Smith & Brown's. She didn't do so because she had any wish to keep the firm out of bankruptcy, but because Horace Walpole White was one of the clerks, because he complimented her on her Instep, because she was a stenographer, because Horace was a fine young man, and because, in time, they became good friends and more. Mr. Walpole was no villain. He was earning a fair salary and lived with his widowed mother. He had thoughts of matrimony. When Miss Kitty came along with her number two-and-a-half feet, with a high and dainty instep, he quite lost his heart. He had paid more attention to the Instep than to the face, but Miss Kitty had a fair-looking face and figure. Miss Kitty also lived with her widowed mother. She also earned a salary of $12 per week. She never even glanced at the young man's feet, and cared not a cent whether he had a high or low Instep, but she also had thoughts of matrimony. Why notT Like a sensible girl, she was not waiting for a young lord or prince, or for an old dotard with his millions. A good looking shoe clerk on a fair salary looked good to her. All the young vornan had to do was to keep buying her shoes from Smith & Brown high shoes, low shoes and slippers, and all Mr. White had to do was to stand ready to wait on her. Cupid did the rest. He gets in his work in a shoe store as well as in a palace. In time there came a call at tho house; then more calls. Then the theater and little dinners. Then moonlight, sentiment, engagement and bliss! It was just at this happy period that the good mother of the filial son lost her appetite. Something must be had to liven it up again. Horace thought of pickles, clam broth, Jellies, malts and other things, but finally decided on a lobster a live, active, aggressive lobster a fightingmad lobster, would be taken home and boiled alive and afterwards served to the ailing mother. It would either kill or cure her. What more natural than a clerk in a shoe store at $12 per who wanted to take home a live lobster should select one of the hundreds of pasteboard boxes around him? It was done. "Horace, the Man Here He . Has Pinched Mel" The fish market man brought out the victim. The lobstor, who had bitten him three times that day was trying for the fourth bite. Mr. White had to take the Elm street car line to reach home. So did Miss Henderson. They didn't meet on the car by accident. Ho walked down the 3treet one block to find her waiting, and they got on together. It is surprising how easy it la to talk love on a street car. On one side of the happy pair is a deaf old man, and on the other Is an old woman who is thinking of the pork roast In the market basket at her feet, and the two opposite have their noses in newspapers. The pair can go right ahead and plan bridal tours, costly flats and bank accounts. It's almost the samo as sitting in the parlor, and there is a constant change of scenery. This had been going on for weeks when the event took place to try the to-be-brido's soul. On this particular evening she was waiting on the corner, as usual. Not a thought of danger entered her mind. Not one horror appeared on her horizon. She was happy. She was watching for the appearance of the shoo clerk she adored. He came. He hastened. He had that shoe box under hi3 arm. A young man In Miss Henderson's place would have saluted with: "Helle, old man!" and asked about the box later on. She, of course, asked about it the first thing. Heretofore, there had been no Mreak points in the armor of Horace Walpole White. But now, one was to be disclosed. Mr. White was sensitive about carrying rackages on the street or car.

and especially so whin his lady love was with him. To have stated in re ply that he was carrying home a live lobster was beyond him. lie would perish first. He would lie first. He did lie. He said it was a pair oi shoes for his mother. The falsehood was believed. It even gave Miss Kittj a warmer feelinz at the heart tc know that she was socn to wed a man who cared whether his old mother went around barefooted in the nipping frosts or had shoes to her feet. Once aboard the car, they sat down together as usual. They were chatty and happy. She was going that eve ning to learn how to trim her own hats, and he was going to revive his mother's lost appetite. Then, of a sudden, the dull thud came. Cupid flew out and the live lobster crawled in. V Shoe store boxes get a great deal of handling. When business is dull the cletks throw them across the store at each other in sportive mood. The one in which Mr. White was carrying home the champion fighting lobster had been sported with and more or less wrecked. One end had been busted and weakened. The lob ster hadn't been in the coop ten minutes before he caught on. It was escape or boiling death for him. He didn't want to boil. He went at that weak corner and clawed and bit and tore, with the result that ten minutes after the lovers were seated in the car, with the box between them, hs emerged into the Funshine of liberty. It 13' not necessary to read natural history to learn that the first idea oi a lobster on getting his freedom is tc make for the salty sea; the next is tc nip any one in tho way. This lobstei dropped to the floor with a thud and clawed the happy Miss Kitty on th ankle belonging to one of those aris tocratlc insteps. He clawed In earnest She sprang to her feet with a scream and then Bhouted: '"Horace, the man here he hat pinched me!" Iloraco didn't lose time swearing b? the beard of his father. The man was undersized and thin and unhappy. He had lost a dollar on the street the day before, and was thinking of it whan the gallant Horace knocked him to the floor. Miss Henderson got another bite, screamed another scream, and Ilorrxe picked up a drug store clerk an J slammed bim around without mercy. Then the lobster started for the real platform. End that car became a c! cus for the next five minutes. Women shrieked and men swore, and the con? ductor called for a shotgun. In the midst of the uproar one could hear the voice of the girl with the instep. She had solved the riddla "Mother's shoes" were a monster lobster! Horace had lied to her! He had caused her to be clawed. He had caused an tproar that must disgrace her for life. He sought to explain, but It w as no use. How could such a thing be explained? The undersized man biid it couldn't possibly be, and the diug clerk said he'd be hanged if It cotld. The conductor also said that a maL who would deliberately permit a fighting lobster to get away on a street car was no gentleman, to say the least. Did Cupid come again? Oh, yes. That match was made in heaven, and an earthly lobster couldn't spoil it After weeks and weeks, with a written confession and apology daily from Horace after the mother's lost appetite had been restored by salt mackerel, there was a making up. The papers said that there was a marriage mar rlare and a dinner with lobster left out! FOUND FOUR-LEAF CLOVER Little Woman Sees Leaf, and All the Passengers on the Train Think That She It Lucky. A northbound Frisco passenger train stood on the siding In tho Ozarka. Many of the passengers were at late breukfast In tho diner. Just as a waiter began to pour coffee for a quick-eyed little woman, she said: "Oh, wait; I must get out Just there by that tie," motioning, "I sec a big four-leaf clover." The waiter bi ought It. and tho passengers exclaimed, "How lucky," and the" little woman said, "It will bring good luck all tho day." Now you know, and we know, that It wouldn't do any such thing. Clover leaves, ra'jbit feet, buckeyes, and illmade pcna'es, or any othev Inanimate thing do not bring either good or bad fortune. But when a fellow, or a girl for that matter, finds a four leaf clover, he is exhilarated. It stlm ulates, by reason of giving additional heart-beats; he tries harder, he walks faster, he looks happier, he speak? cheerier; he is therefore more attrac tlve to others, -and he hits the old world harder, and make3 it give down Its milk. Did you ever see a calf getting Us dinner? You know how it butts It the cow doesn't give down the milk! Well, the stronger the calf, the harder tho "butt," the more milk. So the leaf makes us butt harder and we win; hence, we call It lucky. Maybf it is. we could stand a nearly ripe banana; I eat brown, pulpy fellows myself; and theso, I assure you, always agreo wltl the most delicate stomachs." Ruined by Prosperity.

ALCOHOL AND RACE SUICIDE Two Noted Scientists Give Theii Views of Strong Drink and Its Effects. In an address at Philadelphia, Dr. T. A. MacNIcholl, surgeon at the Red Cross hospital, New York, presented this striking comparison in the study of two separate group 3 of families: "Through a long Una of successive ( generations I have made a study of two separate groups of families. One group, children of drinking parents; one group of children of abstaining parents. "In ten families of drinking habits there were 55 children. Thirty died In infancy, three of heart disease, four were Insane, seven were anaemic, eight were tuberculous, one had diabetes, three had very poor teeth, three had adenoids. Only four of the number were normal. Of the total, two were excellent, six were fair, and seven were deficient In their studies. "In ten fan: Hies of abstaining parents there were 70 children. Two died in Infancy, two were neurotic ,and anaemic, one had rheumatism, one was tuberculous, and 64 were normal In study, 56 were, excellent, 10 were fair, only two were deficient. "Of the children of total abstaining families, 90 per cent were normal; of the total of children of drinking parents, 93 per cent were abnormal. "Eighty per cent of the children of regular drinkers have convulsions while teething. Of children dying from such diseases as measles, whooping cough, scarlet fever, and other infantile disorders, a large percentage are children of drinking ancestry." Dr. T. J. Mays, specialist In con sumption, Philadelphia, in his address before the semi-annual conference ol the American Society for the Study of Alcohol and Other Drug Narcotics, de dared that Inebriety was very closelj associated with consumption. The former destroyed the vitality of the body and permitted disease germs tc gather and grow in the lungs. In ebriety and consumption are twin dis- j eases, the one following the other. The disease germs of the latter would not flourish in the lungs if the brain and nervous . system were strong enough to throw them off. Alcohol not only frequently causes tuberculosis, but there are many cases where the children of drinkers develop the white plague. , A consumptive patient frequently presents himself, In whom the most diligent search faik? to re veal the slightest trace of family consumption. The condition Is frequently found in the young, especially in girls, who, after careful inquiry, are found to have a fath,er or mother, or pometimes both, who had been tipplers of alcohoL Children of alcohol parents are from 200 to 260 per cent more liable to consumption, and from COO to 600 per cent more prone to nervous dls- ' eases than are children of abstemious parents. , DRINKING HABITS OF WOMEN Perturbed Physical Conditions Given as Main Causes Its Results Are Dreadful. . Inebriety from a fondness for alcohol for Its own sake vicious Indulgence Is far less frequent In women than in men, and it Is well that It Is so. Drunkenness Is bad enough in a mati, but In a woman It Is even more pitiable, and. If It be possible, more far-reaching and more dreadful in Its results. With women it would, we think, be safe to say that the origin of the drink habit lies In perturbed physical conditions In fact, that it is a disease, and not a mere moral obliquity, aa many would have us believe. The consequences of alcoholism In women are not so quickly evident as In men. In the earlier stages of Inebriety in those cases In which there Is power of volition, a peculiar shrinking from publicity protects some women against the symptoms noted among men at a like period. Two causes may be given for the lapse of women Into inebriety. First Is the nervous condition due to lack of nutrition and the wear and worry of domestic life and the demands of society an exhaustion for which relief is mistakenly sought in the transient aid of alcohol econdly, the pain and unrest Incident to disorders of their sex, for which solace 13 sought In the anaesthetic and paralyzing effects of alcohol. In the first place, the woman who flies to drink must be unaware or unmindful of the fact that Its taking, involves a great risk of creating a morbid condition that often finds expression in constant inebriety. In the second case, the so-called solace, with startling and sorrowful frequency, ends In couflrmed alcoholism. Health Culture. Less Scotch Whisky Drunk.
