thing!" The second fairy looked at his friend
soberly And ho suddenly realized that
Silver Streak (the flrst fairy) wasn't Ju3t
talking, that he was seriously trying to
think about things. So Gray Moss (the
other fairy) Immediately became solemn,
too, and tried to think of some plan to
help his friend.
"What does a person do, anyway," he
asked by way of beginning, "when tliey
no longer want to see anything that they
have to see?"
Silver Streak pondered over the question
a minute In a real grown-up-person fash
Ion, and then answered, "They can only
do two things. They can do awny with
the ugliness or they can cover It up. Can
you,thjnk of anything else?"
Gray Moss considered carefully anjfethen
replied, "No, I can't. But wluv'Igood

does it do us to think of even these two
things? We can't do either. We can't
do anything about the earth. We're only

"Never you mind," replied Sliver Streak
cheerfully, "I haven't got my name with
out earning It! We may not be able
to do away with all the brown ugliness
of the winter scenery, but we can at
least cover It up! You watch me!"
"Now. whatever does he mean by that
talk?" demanded Gray Moss, who was
quite as puzzled by Silver Streak, as you
would have been. "He needn't tell me
to watch him, I'm doing that already!"
And indeed he was.
He watched, and he saw Silver Streak
Jump upward through the trees, through
the air till he reached the big out-of-slght
space near the olouds. Then he could see

that Silver Streak was tending to his

THE DAILY STORY
Jack's Wife
Tho Caledonia plowed Its, way steadily
ov6r a calm, sunlit sea, '
Georgo Landls scowled heavily as, each
new passenger rounded tho nfterdeck
and camo within his vision, Mostly he
glowered at the masculine seagoers be
cause thoy wore free to enter fne smoke
room and stay there as long as fancy
willed. He, Landls, had Intended to havo
a ntco, uninterrupted crossing spent In
the smokornont, spinning yarns or playing
cards. Instead, ho was stationed out on
deck In nn abominable steamer chair
keeping a wnry cje out for Jack's Gar
dener's wife
Landls' brow lowered moro ominously
ns ho recalled Gardener's words when
ho had dlscocrcd that the same steamer
was to convey both Lnndls and his wife
to tho Scotch ahoro.
"You can't miss 'ner. Landls, becauso
Ethel U tho most beautiful woman In
the world, and tho kiddle the most won
derful child. Ethel wears one of those
plush coats you can ' pick her out ,by
that," Jnck hail smiled happily and
added: "Just keep an eye on her sho
is a bit of a flirt."
"Ravings of n married Idiot," muttered
Landls, then diew a swift breath,
A figure In n plush coat 'nad rounded
tho nfterdeck. At least Landls sup
posed tho coat to bo plush, It was s6mo-
thlng soft nnd silky agnlnst which a
fnce of radiant beauty gleamed like a
cameo
"Jack's wife," ejaculated Landls under
his brcnth, and decided Instantly to havo
nothing to do with Ethel Gardener. "She
Is far too beautiful to trlflo with," he
added mentally.
Ho watched tho girl and tho wonderful
child for the child wob also thorc until
thoy had found n steamer chair at tho far
end of tho dock. After that ho Icanod
back nnd wondered not that his heart was
beating a dull thud against his Shetland
waistcoat.
"Sho Is enough to mako nn Iron heart
miss a beat" ho decided, and then rumi
nated gloomily on Jnck Gardener's luck.
"What haB Gardener dono to deserve a
fate llko that?" he questioned and found
the query unanswerable
Landls settled back In his chair with
half-shut eyes and pictured tho girl who
had set his pulses boating. Even at tho
far end of the deck her hair gleamed red
gold In the sun; her eyes were gray and
tho long lashes gavo them tho effect of
having been pressed In by smutty fingers.
Landls turned resolutely townrd the stern
of tho boat and remembered that tho girl
was another man ij wife
During the entire afternoon Landls
staed on deck. The smokeroom had lost
Its appeal.
Much to IiIb astonishment he watched
the girl with the red hair talking to a
constant stream of very evident admirers.
The sturdy, beautiful boy she carried wns
a splendid lure Eery one on board felt
perfectly free td break tho Ice of reserve
through him.
As tho aftornoon woro away It seemed
as if Landls alono had failed to admlro
Jack Gardener's baby. Since the passen
ger list was largo, he felt conspicuous
by his neglect. Ho shut his teeth grimly
and wondered whether or not Gardener
was to bo envied
"If sho were mine," lie realized men
tally, "I would tnko her across the ocean
In a private acht. I do not care for
that string of cavallera." Landls smiled
whimsically and knew that ho even en
vied tho wonderful child whose sunny
head rested against thn plush coat.
They were three days out to sea be
fore tho unexpected happened. It had
seemed as If tho girl looked moro often
townrd Landls, but he had turned reso
lutely aside.
"She Is a bit of a flirt," he quoted from
Gardener.
But tho day of the big Btorm Landls
was unable to avoid her. The decks
were cleared of all unscaworthy admir
ers nnd sho alone seemed nble to be
about and on deck. One or two splendid
sailors were clinging to tho ropes nnd
gazing at the ocean In one or ner maa
moods Landls watched tho girl In the
plush coat and wondered If the mockery
ever left her eyes
Ho wns standing at the forward deck
railing when tho girl was flung suddenly
Into his arms. Whether It was a maneuver
of her own or merely one belonging to
the wonderful elements Landls never
knew. He only knew that Bhe was cling
ing to him and that her face was radiant
with the soft spray and that her hair waB
sweeping In maddening tendrils close to
his shoulder.
"I am so sorry," she said, and Landls
knew from the sparkle of her eyes that
she was not one whit sorry.
"That la not so," he told her with un
expected boldness "I believe you are
glad " He reluctantly set her on her feet
and commanded her to hold fast to the
ropes. "You should hae been hatched
down, anyway."
"I would not miss a sight like this for
nnsthlng." she put In quickly.
"Is that a plush coat?" questioned Lan
dls Irrelevantly
The girl laughed
"To the masculine eye yes. To the
feminine sealskin " She answered
promptly, but with questioning eyes.
"And are you the most beautiful woman
In the world?" Landls pursued doggedly
and revelled in the blush that followed.
"No " sho returned swiftly.
"And you are Jack Gardener's wife?"
accused Landls
The girl smiled mockingly and deliber
ately let another whim of the elements
blow her against Landls. When he had
given her her balance she raised heavy
laslus and remained Bilent
"Are you going to answer me?" de
manded Landls.
"I think It is not In the least bit neces
sary." the girl said.
But j ou have on a plush coat, you are
the most beautiful woman In the world,
and a wonderful kiddle Is always with
'oa Also you are more than a bit of a
!llrt. All of these attributes belong to
Gardener's wife."
The girl turned swiftly and flashed a
defiant glance at him. She would have
slipped from him had not Landls caught
her quickly with an Iron grip.
"Well?" ho demanded
"I am Jack's wlfe'a sister and I am not
married," she told him and her heavy
lashes concealed the expression ot her
ejes.
"The former part of your answer pleases
me," Landls told her with swift laughter,
"the latter part we can alter."

A Modern Miss
Her Strange Ways
She was coming up on the train
from Washington, and they her father,
mother and two girl friends sat In the
seats near the end of tho pullmnn. The
most Important figure of the party was
little MIbs Sixteen, as a neighbor called
her She seemed to dominate the rest
with her assertive young personality.
"Now, Daddy, don't forget that we
change at Philadelphia," were her flrst
words, as she piled on his hands her
wraps, magazines, candy and those ot
her girl friends as well.
She settled herself In her chair and
took out one magazine which she had
saved for her own perusal. In a few
minutes a dull thud was heard, and the
papers were scattered on the floor.
"You might know Daddy picked out
this magazine," was her next remark,
"It's perfectly fierce. Why didn't you
select something Interesting? This Is the
limit, nothing here but war!"
For 10 or 15 minutes after this the
topic of Philadelphia's torrid summers
was discussed. Awakened to eloquence
on the subject, "Daddy" Innocently de
clared that when he was In this city
one day last summer the thermometer
registered 1141
A look of tender pity overspread little
Miss Sxteen's pretty face. "'Now, Daddy,
you know It never was anything ot the
kind," she declared. "You mean 101 de
grees. Nobody ever heard of any such
temperature as 111. lie gets Ideas like
that, and then thinks they're true," she
added, evidently to make excuses to her
friends for poor Dad,
After this her parents talked together
for some time, and the girls chatted about
theatre and their mutual friends until
dinner time came. When the porter
came through with hly first call to din
ner, the young lady arose,
"Come, Daddy, I'm hungry. Besides,
Ellen says she always eats early. It will
make the Journey shorter, so hurry up."
Daddy arose, evidently with reluctance,
as It was very early for dinner. The
neighbor noticed mother's last year's
suit, and fur-trimmed hat. and contrasted
It with the light toppedTboota and natty
straw hat on her daughter's blonde head.
(The very much overdressed bIH frlenda
aajusiea ineir roirr, '" i""11" n
more energy thai) they had shown before.
"You know, V can't do anything with
mother." was the last remark as the
party filed out to the dining car, "she's
so old fashioned. She wouldn't take me
to any of the theatres I wanted to see.
And she got .cross at me because I never
wrote daddy unless I needed something.
Why should J? He never wrltea to me,
and I'm sure I'm Just as busy as be la "
After dinner, they began to approach
the outskirts of Philadelphia, and the
general movement towards packing and
getting ok wraps began. The young lady
loeked; utt tbe city tor a while, and

small package of rice powder added to It,
sold for 25 cents.
Pure castlle soap sells at the most rea
sonable prices, too. The white kind Is
35 cents for a four-pound bar, w'nlch or
dinarily sells for 60 cents, and the green
Is 25 cents for a threo-pound bar.
Ivory articles for tho dressing table and
bureau service are enjoying fashion's fa
vor Just now. These are also on sale,
and all the small things, such as nail
files, cuticle clips, buttonhooks, etc., Bell
for 23 cents apiece. The larger articles
aro more expensive, for Instance, a square
Jewel caso, of heavy Ivory, for $2.25.
The newest laces for wear on tho early
spring gown are being shown In a prom
inent Chestnut street shop. Ecru color
seems to predominate, and It sells at
almost any price from tho narrow stylo
at 60 cents, to the nlne-lncfn width nt
lb a yard.
Umbrellas are going to be In stylo In
March and April, if old Dame Nature
follows her usual tricks. One store Is
selling some handsome umbrellas which
formerly cost $5 for 13. These are black,
deep red and dark blue taffeta, nnd tho
handles come In every Imaginable style,
oven sterling silver mounted ones.
Blower as we get to Philadelphia. Oh,
Daddy, there's a river. Is there a river
near Philadelphia? I didn't know that. I
guess it's slow, too."
"Ssh! dear," said her mother, "some
one might hear you."
"I don't caro who hears me," answered
the little Miss, "everybody Jokes about
Philadelphia, don't thoy, Ellen?"
A girl of this sort Is a trial, not only
to herself but to everybody else.
Yet one meets her everywhere nnd the
laxness ofthe modern parent Is respon
sible for her bad manners and rude ways.
Beauty's Mirror
The Eyebrows
Do you pay the proper amount of at
tention to your eyebrows? They are Just
as Important an adjunct to good looks as
a well fitting gown or a pleasant expres
sion. So many women who are fortunate
enough to havo fine, large eyes and a
pretty complexion allow the effect of t
all to be spoiled Dy ousny, ui-Kepi eye
brows. Look at your face In the glass the next
time your hair Is drawn back severely
from the face. Stand In a good light and
let your Judgment be as Impartial as If
you were Judging one of your women
friends. This will assure you ot the
truth, and nothing but the truth. Don't
you find that there are many Irregularities
In the line of your eyebrows, and a num
ber of wild hairs following the line ot
the hair?
Beauty of line that Is, a clear, unwav
ering, well-arched brow, Is best acquired
by means of the electric needle. You may
find this process a bit tiring at first. It
consists of taking each hair out separate
ly and shaping the brows to a charming
arch. It takes only a couple of hours and
will last Indefinitely. The usual charge
U J2.W an hour. In having this done, you
must take, care to go to the most reliable
beauty doctor you can get, as It will
leave a dreadful scar If done Improperly,
Your eyes will often make the face look
unattractive If they are bloodshot from
eyestrain or dull from lack of sleep. These
things must be remedied, of course, by
"removing the cause." as the doctors say.
That Is, avoid straining, ahd sleep at
least eight hours every night.

an endless bother. I'd rather have a fow
things that I really oared about and that
I knew suited me than endless stacks of
dresses that.I felt It my duty to wear In
turn yet hadn't any particular nffeotlon
for."
"Your new Bult has Just come from
town," I remarked complacently. "1 an
longing to see what It Is like, so do try.
It on nt once."
Tho suit was In a very fln dark m...
serge, tho skirt cut with plaits nt either
side, and although strictly adhering to,
fashion yet managing to give quite a sUm '
effect to tho wenror.
"I am so thnnkful that It hasn't got
those frills and furbelows and fulnesses
that people like so much at present," sala
Elinor. "I llko a strictly plain suit Just

MANY FOODSTUFFS
DECLINE IN PRICE
Vegetables and Eggs Show De
crease Meats and Fish Aro
Stationary.
Warm weather has brought a slight
drop In tho prices of vegetables, from
tho aristocratic strawberry and as
paragus to the ordinary onion and potato.
Eggs have dropped from 7 to 10 cents a
dozen In the past month, while meats and
fish are about stationary. Lamb, how
ever, took a decided Jump becauso of tho
scarcity of llvo stock. This Is expected
to bo only temporary and will not affect
the retail price.
The sprtng-llko weather has Increased
the activity about the markots, both In
retail and wholesale business. Even in
yesterday's heavy rain trading was very
brisk. Much interest centres about the
fine, heavy catches of fresh flah which,
from point of quality, are tho best this
year.
The following table shows tho prices
of tho more common commodities at tho
Heading Terminal, tho Farmers' Market,
Hldge avenuo nnd 18th street and the
2d nnd South streets market.
