OLIVETTE DESCRIBES TWO CENT PARIS STYLES.

RE-

BY MABEL HERBERT URNER. Warren had been gone five days now and each night Helen had written him a diary letter. Just before she went to bed she would write an account of the day's happenings, trivial or commonplace though they were.

She had received only two letters

from him so far. The first just a short note from Buffalo and a longer letter from Chicago. The letter in the tearse telegraphic style in which Warren always wrote was before her now. Hotel. Chicago, Jan. 11, 1912. Dear Helen: Arrived here at 11:20. Train half an hour late. Went straight to Kohn Rogers' offices. But Rogers was out of town. Won't be back till tomorrow. Will have to wait over to see him. Don't like to lose this day, but suppose It can't be helped. Cold as blazes here. And windy Jove, a regular gale all the time. Been seeing some of the town this afternoon. Looked up Jack Cartwright and he took me to his home for dinner. He has a nice little wife and a couple of youngsters. Seem3 to be doing well out here. Well I must go to bed. Got a hard day before me tomorrow. This is a pretty cheerless hotel room. Bed, bureau, washstand, card of regulations on back of door you know the type. And it's cold as Greenland. Two pipes of the radiator are lukewarm and the rest stone cold. When you try to turn on more heat it only sputters. Glad you put that sweater in. Couldn't sit in this room without it. Some fellows are playing poker in the next room. Can hear the click of chips. Drummers. This is a commercial hotel, full travelling men. Well Good-night. Take care of yourself and Winifred. As ever, WARREN HELEN'S LETTER. Although Helen knew every word In this, she read it over once more. Then drew the paper and ink toward her and began her daily letter. Dear Your letter from Chicago came this morning, and oh, I was so glad to hear. Was so sorry that you missed Mr. Rocrers and had to stay over. I

can see that cheerless hotel room and j can't bear to think of you staying all !

night in such places. But, of course,

it will not be so cold in California, j and as you will be there longer you will arrange for better accommoda-!

day. He had to stay over night to see j

Mr. Rogers. "How's Winifred?" asked Lawrence.! "Oh. she's well, she's asleep now or I'd bring her in." "Oh. no, don't awaken her. Come here. Roy! What are you doing?" Roy was on his knees trying to get Pussy Purrmew from under the couch. Although Carrie had been more more friendly and gracious since the fatal Christmas incident, still Helen was never o.uite comfortable with her. She felt her critical gaze was everywhere and that she was making mental notes for future comment. Iawrence, Helen would have liked very much, had he not been so completely under the dominance of his wife. "Oh. Roy, den t play so roughly with the kitten" warned Helen, as she saw Pussy Purmew struggling to get out of his grasp. Oh, don't you'll hurt her!" THE KITTEN OBJECTS. "Oh, cats aren't easily hurt," said Carrie, complacently, watching Pussy Purrmew struggling unmoved. "Oh. don't don't Roy! You musn't pinch her tail!" But just as Helen started forward to rescue it, the kitten, with a little hiss, gave. Roy a sharp scratch on the hand. He immediately set up a howl.

while the kitten flew into the next room. "Oh, that vicious cat!" cried Carrie, excitedly, taking Roy in her arms, who only howled the louder. "Why do

vou keep such an ill-tempered animal?" "Why Pussy Purmew isn't ill-tempered." said Helen, secretly glad that Roy for once had gotten what he deserved. "Any kitten will scratch If it's tormented."

"Tormented?" angrily. "Roy wasj only playing with it. He wouldn't tor-! ment anything. It's a nasty, vicious j cat! You should get rid of it at once! I'll tell Warren so when he cornea

back." "Oh. now Carrie." said 1-awrence. soothinsly, "perhaps Hoy was a bit rough." Hut Carrie was not to be pacified. She was thoroughly incensed, not only because Roy had betn scratch-l. but at what she felt as Helen's Indifference. "You musn't mind Carrie." murmured Lawrence, apologetically, aa they were leaving. "She always pets nervous when Roy cries." "I'm not nervous at all." said Carrie icily, overhearing him. "but naturally I don't like to have Roy bitten by a vicious cat." When they bad gone Helen went tack to her letter. The old feeling of antagonism which Carrie almost always aroused in her was very strong. She wondered why they were so antagonisticwhy Carrie could never call without something unpleasant happening? Her first impulse was to write Warren an account of the case. "Carrie and Lawrence have just

been here" she wrote. "And someUuns unpleasant had to happen it seema that It alwava does when she comes. Roy was tormenting Pussy Purmey and she scratched him very Justly I thought. But Carrie was furious, she said" . Here Helen paused. Why was aha writing this to Warren? What was to be gained by reciting an unpleasant Incident? She tore up this page and wrote again. "Carrie and Lawrence have just been here. They were lj the neighborhood and came in to se how 1 was getting along. They asked after vou and sent their love.

I found that pair of old furlined gloves you were looking for. I wish you had them with you now. But they are pretty much worn, so you had better get a new pair if you need them, as these will last only a little while. I am wondering if that underwear you have with you is heavy enough. Perhaps you had better get some if you're going to be in poorly heated hotels. And that rough gray-suit i3

height of the knees. With the completing touch of a blackvelvet coat, the smart woman will find this a most useful and attractice afternoon costume for the Winter. This pleasing afternoon frock on the right for a young girl is made of

med with a fichu of old lace. The sleeve, of elbow length, is ended with a flounce of plain tulle. The belt is a simple ribbon in the light ping shade, with chrysanthemum of the same color giving a stunning finishing touch. The skirt, which is gathered at the waist line, is crossed in front.

Why Are You So Tired? The Weather Is Not to Blame For That "Dragged Out" Feeling. "This weather simply takes the life right out of me. I can hardly drag one foot after the other," said a run-down, tired-out woman, the other day. v We want to say to every such person in this vicinity. Don't blame the weather, it's your condition. You need a strengthening tonic and the very best we know is Vinol which is a combination of the two most world-famed tonics, namely, the medicinal, curative elements of cod liver oil and tonic iron, for the blood. A case has just come to our attention from Milford, Mich. "Mrs. Julia Barber says: "I was run-down and hardly able to drag about; my appetite was poor and I was notable to work. My druggist asked me to try Vinol. The first bottle helped me and after taking the second bottle I was able to work and felt well and strong. Vinol is the best medicine I have ever taken." Try a bottle of Vinol with the understanding that your money will be returned If it does not help you. Leo H. Fihe, druggist, Richmond, tAdverttsement)

although it seems to let her do almost anything she wants with it. I forgot to tell you that the man came to fix the kitchen sink Saturday. And the telephone bill came today $6.75.

"Ask them to come up," putting up J the received and hurrying in to ' smooth her hair, and then back to the

sitting room to straighten thing3 around. What was bringing them this evening? Occasionally Carrie called in the afternoon, but Helen couldn't remember when they had ever called in the

evening. She ran to answer the door bell. "I guess this Is a surprise," said Carrie. "But we were in the neighborhood and I told Lawrence we ought to come over and see you for a moment." "Why I'm so glad you did. Here

Did you ever stop to think what a piano means to every home, and the happiness it brings to every member of the family only those that have one know its real worth. What Stands Between You and the Music of the Masters? It is your inability to .play their compositions, which is the bar that separates you from the best? We will admit there is difference between "Schumann's Concerta in A Minor" and "Too Much Mustard," but did it ever occur to you that THE STARR PLAYER PIANO removes every barrier of technical inability and gives you access to all the music of all time? With one of these players at your commond the one is no more difficult than the other, and with the individual interpretation which the Starr makes possible, you can produce the grandeur of one or the ragtime swing of the other with equal success. Compositions beyond the ability of the most accomplished pianist you know may be played with a faultless technique and with the same artistic expression of the master musician. We extend you an invitation to visit our store and have us demonstrate this instrument to you, and we know you will appreciate its possibilities.

We Still Have a Few Used Pianos that Will Go at a Bargain These pianos are in excellent condition and are guaranteed by us to give perfect satisfaction. -Tfo'if-Jy difference between the used and new piano is that some are discontinued styles. In this lot we offer a few players of the StC ike, which are discontinued styles and that weVe taken in trade on new pianos. CALL TOMORROW AND SEE THESE U1$V ZVAL VALUES.
