One day two little cloud fairies met each other in the sky. "Isn't the sun a perfectly itwfttl person 1" said one. "Oh, no, lie isn't awful at all," said the other pleasantly, "he is merely stupid."

He is so very stupid he thinks he has to shine his very hottest .t hnr.tncf nil the ll.'lV." he "Yes, but that proves how powerful : is," said the first fairy. "Mnt .11 all." recked the other; it merely proves he only knows how to do one thing. Now I could make the sun really famous if I had the chance "What's that? What's that?" cried the sun in his gruff, fiery voice. "Who's talking about me? "I am," replied the fairy bravely. I was wishing I could make you fa mous." ..... "Make me famous," cried the sun in disgust. "Don't you know I am famous already?" "Famous as a hot-head, fiery person maybe," replied the fairy, "but I could make you famous for your beauty and softness, your color and Rloy- "Who cares about such trifles as those?" said the sun hcatcdli'. I daz zle the world with my fire and light that is enough." , , But he couldn't forget what the fairy had said. He thought of it all the hours. 'Beauty,' she said. I wonder what 'beauty' would be like? Would it be as great as strength? , "You could have both." whispered the fairy, who happened by just then. "Now you have only strength, but can tell you how to have beauty, too.. The hot old sun thought a while, then he said. "Very well.

Copyright. 1914 Clara Ingram Judion. UNFORGETTABLE I never learned tho wonder of that lano nrenched with tho summer rain, Where through my boyish feet were wont to pass. Until I left for the passionate town, Marble nnd iron and brass, Filled with all laughter; yea, and filled, alus, With llfo's itnniortul pain. Then I beheld its magic. Then 1 Knew How every rosebush grew, How overy leaf rocked in the wind blown noon, Far, far away I saw It beneath the moon On matchless nights of June. When tho untarnished silver of the sky Poured through tho boughs, And two young lovers whispered denthless vows, And then I heard Each song-enraptured bird Pipe hla mad music as wo wandered by. I breathed the fragrance of tho haw thorn flowers, I drank the Joy that tho black cup of night Poured for my youth's delight While round about me from great steeples and towers Tho punctual city clocks sounded tha rushing hours. I shall go back some day To the enchantment of that wildwood way, I shall know once again the scent of musk In the cool summer dusk. And lay my head upon Night's pillow; lay My fevered body where the blossoms sway Against the velvet curtains of the dark, I shall seo glowworms light their little spark In tho hushed evening; hear the crickets croon, And marvel at tho moon.

Miss Stivers, who were caught In the line of battle at Vaumolse, a llttlo vlllnpo about 45 miles northeast of Tarls. Tho American Ambassador, Myron T. Herrlck, learned of the major's sit uation and sent Lieutenant Edwin St. John Grebel, Jr., ono of tho young army officers attached to tho embassy, In an automobile to bring tho major and his niece to Tarls. Lieutenant Grebel found the American, who is In his 8$th year, broken in health. Tho major said the Uritlsh troops had been In the village August IQ and 31 nnd the Germans fiom September 1 to 10. Thcie had been a good deal of shooting around his cottage. He painted a small American flag on a pleco of board, which he nailed to the cottage, and this was usually respected. Mlsa Stivers, however, was made to do all klnd3 of work for tho German soldiers, Bitch as serving them at table, making tea and watering their horses. All their food was taken except potatoes, and on them alono they lived for several dajs.

TAILORED SUIT A WELCOME BOON GRANTED BY FASHION Refreshingly Simple for Out door Wear and Designed on Thoroughly Practical Lines. While fashion may force us to fu nn fumo over our town clothes, wo can b refreshingly slmplo In tho country, fot tho walking suit and tho sports ' suit aro tallor-nmdo and nro designed, first of all, on tho most pracllcat line?.' Tho suit In tho illustration 1ms several features that nro well worth consldcrlns for their distinctive cut and stylo. Tho length of tho coat, for Instance, which Is long enough for ginco nntL yet short enough to wulk In easily. Both tweed and homespun havo tho advantages of warmth , without much weight, and, doubt, they wcro woven with this Intent. Another point that attracts notice h tho high lap, although tho lapels nro long and low und only two buttons aro used to fasten tho coat. Tho belt, which Is at tho waistline proper, Is stitched to tho coat and Is fastoned by ono of theso two but tons. The buttons aro ued to fasten tho slcovcs, which nro severely plain, without oven tho cuff, or simulated cuff, which has had a long-continued vogue. Tho skirt is cut with a llaro for greater freedom In walking than tho closely gored skirt can glvo, and, In addition, there aro plaits that nro stitched only to tho knea and add several Inches to Us width. The stitched fold nt tho bottom of tho skirt Is a revival of tho etylo that was onco used on golf Kklrts, und, long, long ago, on blcyclo skirts. It glvca a certain tlnlsh to u skirt nnd at tho samo tlmo prevents any possi bility of Its splitting or teaiiug at the seams. Tho hat shown In tho Illustration Is se verely simple, hut tho rolling brim keepi It from being haul, while tho feather Is placed at Just tho anglo that gives it dash. And hero, as In so many nffnlrs, It seems to be not so much what ono doei as how ono does it. Tho dlffeience In tho position of tho feather is what distin guishes tho amateur milliner from the professional, while the artist Is boin, not made. Although this suit shown Is primarily intended for countiy or mountain resort, unless the signs fall, It will not be long befoio Just such suits will bo worn again as street suite in town. For the woman of lelsuio tho plain coat and skirt aio not a matter of much Im portance, but for the business woman the tuilor-mado suit Is a boon, Indeed. In fact, It Is tho only sensible thing that can bo worn In an office without getting bedraggled or untidy and In which ono can go or come In street cars without ap pearing overdrcbscd.
