They cannot see thnt otith mn mean the sheerest pain. When one Is voting one want" so much o desperatelv much Then, oh! the hiart cho If one gets but little' The long. lorn? thoughts of youth" are pns-lnt; transc I know they stretih out to eternity, and always with a wane new restlessness l think It's happlm.-s we eek. but under unfamiliar names.

AnrtlVAL IN rHILADELnilA My train brought mo to Philadelphia on a summer s day ut 5 o cluck. In the big rallwaj station 1 aw no familiar face. Surcl my uncle must be there to welcome m. 1 knew tv was the kind liest man anil on that one short lslt that he paid to England he had liked me well. 1 waited by the bookstall for an ag". Strange crowds went b me, as 1 stood alone. The girls and women seemed so smartly dressed, so fashionable. Tho men all looked rather alike. I thought, a'l wearing the same suit of hat stiaw. with a hlghish crown No one seemed old and none seined poor. Ameiica must be a great, glad place' At length I sought th nenrct res taurant, for I w.is tiled and hungry. I sat down at a little table, all alone. Why had my uncle failed to well nine me? A sudden thought then cam" nnd brought relief. He must have sent a substitute. Perhaps his wife had come and missed me In the station crowd? 1 raised up hoptfut rv and tlvti a strange thing happened. A beautifully gowned woman -J'vl crossed the is- taurant and came to me. I thought she i had the loveliest face, the most hew lid erlng beauty. A faint sweet pwrume clung about her gown, unlike th- scent of English Mowers. She smiled the sweet est smile and said t me. "lv child. wh are you all alone? Is no one meeting j-nu?" "I thought my unci would have come " I said, "or perhaps my aunt but I could not recognize her, nnd she can t know me." "My dear," she erled, and '."1th the kindliest gstuie teized my hand", "are you the little girl we were expeting? I've searclii-d for ou an hour! How glad I am! I'm tin- n -w nur.t'" This lovely new relation made me f.el quite shy, she looked so grand Sn made me talk and ordered a light niml. "Your uncle sent me, as lit- was de tained," said she "Our motoic.ir is waiting to take jou home to dinner, and a welcome." "I will not bother you and uncle long I mean to work, ' I said. "I think v.u are the loveliest and the kindist things! A sudden shadow crossed hei face. "Pleate don't say that," she suld, ns If m words h.id hint. "Tell me about your life at home." J think the lloodgates opened then: my strange wall of reserva went down. I told her of my English home, nnd of long walks upon the wind-swept moors. I told her how the wind sung in the trees and how the little wood-sorrel jr-v everywhere. "It la so pure and fiesh." I said. "It has the tiniest pinkest face! I know you'll love mv English home." "Go on, go on, ' she said, in breathless eagerness. "1 was an English girl ome, too!" I told her of the freshness of the moors . "so different from iiusti c iti . and from i towns," I s.ild. I told her of the lnvrlv Sussex Downs, and how the dw lay long upon the giuss Then next I told her of the artist's words "And vvn.-n I mt ! . i ' fSL l "" BIG HAT AND LITTLE RIVALS FOR FAVOR; MILITARY IN'TONE t'W, 'ir'w'OTW'J'TOT3rnS Si Tricorne, With Cockade or Stiff Feathers; Particularly Well Liked by Those Who Can Wear It.

I Theie nie two kinds of hat today, the very small nnd the very large. The small hat is dashing nnd very often mili tary, for there rtro Itusslnn turbans, Scotch bonnets, continentals nntl the) tricorne, that Is welcomed so eagerly by the -vi omen Mho can wear It. The tricoinc assumes a ery martial air this season; It nppcnis with cock ade or staff fenthni standing erect. The Scotch bonnet has the rosette or engle feather, or even a tnssel for omu inent. On the Ilusslnn turban there are gal loons of metallic appearance and motifs that iio ery wnillke In design. These, with the tiillleur or trottcur frock, still hnc the pas, although the innotler. hv whleh name was ielo the wlde-bilmmed sailor, nppeara determined I In win its place once mole In femlnlncA affection. Ulack velvet has apparently the cachet of famous milliners, although colors, such .is grape and taupe and tcte de negro. i have n vogue of their own.

It Is a hnt that comes nnd goes ns certainly ns nn ocean tide, ami In spite of the ban of disapproval or even the high tariff, ostilch feathers or tips 'are nlmost reitnln to be used for trimming. The hat shown In the Illustration today he'ongs unmistakably to the picture anil portrait class. It hns the wldo brim, slightly curved to soften the effect and faced with chif fon. This Is corded on the edgo nntl nt a depth of n few inches and it is shir red ns well. Against the soft crown two ostrich feather tips are placed. Where they come together, n little at one side, theie Is a soft chotix of chiffon to match, the fac ing. It Is designed to wear nt an angle, wnleh, of course, ndds greatly to Its style and at tho same time displays the chiffon undorbrlm.

Twentj-tlve ears ago Spain exported scarcely nny toys. In 1913 It sold over sjno.000 worth to various countries. Cuba being tho chief buyer, followed by Argen tina, Belgium, Turkey and Spanish pos sessions.

EQUALITY OF SEX THEORY BREAKS UP A FAMILY ' it Woman Carries It to IiStigth of Talf. lug Husband's Automobile. CHICAGO, Bcpt. 23. tTntll recently the problem of tho "single" standard nnd other uucsilons pertaining to tho "eo,ual Ity" of sex never troubled the mind of Otis Wilson. He nlwnys had been too busy attending to the business of hl garnge In Wlnnetkn. Mr. Wilson believed, nnd still believes a mnn has the right to do as ho please? ns long ns It does not Infringe on the rights of others. Ho felt that when ha provided for his fnmlly nnd attended to his business, nnd paid taxes to the State nnd nblded by the laws, his duty as k citizen had been fulfilled. It bnd linen tho rnstnm nt -rn .,,. to go nny place ho plenscd whenever 1m pleasod. If he felt like taking a spin In one of his niitomobllcs with a party of friends It was no one's business but hli own. Mr. Wilson has a wife. Strange as It may nppcnr, Mrs, Wilson agreed per. fectly with her husband on this subject but Mr. Wilson did not know It. In fact Mrs. Wilson did not make her belief known to nny one, but sho believed it Just tho same. So, In tho course of events the gnratrn ovvntd by Mr. Wilson In Wlnnotki caught fire nnd burned to tho ground Mr. Wilson lost considerable money' but ho resolutely sot to work and built nnother garage. When It was completed Mr. Wilson, following his policy of doing as ho plensed, celebrated the event by taking a Joy rldo with a party of friends. Mrs. Wilson did not express her opln Ion when she learned of It. She simply went to the garage nnd, taking her 3-yenr-nId son, Jack, with her, got Into one of her husband' niitomobllcs and Btnrleil on a Joy ride for herself. Then'she took tho mnchlne to a denier on Michigan avenue and sold It for S223. Did sho tnko tho money homo and teli her husband nbout It? No. Sho bought heisclf nnd Jack some pretty clothes Then sho hoarded a tinln at tho Pollf street station nntl went away on ait "indefinlto vacation." Did Mrs. Wilson tell her husband whore sho was going or when sho was coming hack? No, Indeed. Sho knrtxs Mr. Wilson believes In "personal" lib orty and felt he could not object to Ills wife having tho same privileges. Hut Mr. Wilson dirt object, nnd has asked the police to make n search for his wife nnd son. Mr. Wilson told tho police ho believed Mrs. Wilson was "vacationing" In or nenr Glcnvicw, 111. The police failed to locate her there. However, Mr. Wilson Is doing some sctloui thinking.

Th lawyer told her that she could nt least mnke a guess. Tho determined voung woman eyed him with a withering glance.
