WHAT EVERY WOMAN WANTS TO KNOW NEW'Va'SHIONS AND PRACTICAL SUGGESTION!
OLD
MEMORIES
By
ELLEN ADAIR
On Brooding
- certain lender radiance, clings around
eld memories. We wonder why? For
distance lends enchantment and tho back
ward vleiv Is nlways jtlorlfled, Particu
larly as wo arrow older Is this tho case.
'"These, were tho days!" wo say with a
e'ghi "and tlioso days can never come
back any more."
Old memories bring a gentle melancholy
In their train a melancholy which Is hnlt
pleasure as well as half pain. Wo sit
down In. a quiet mood and wo brood
over tho past. Tho tender graco of a day
that ts dead Is with us onco more. It
A Is very real, very vivid. The scent of
n. flower, the faint perfume of an old val
entine longr-slnce forgotten, a strain of
Jnuslc, tho sobbing of violins, tho sound
of falling ln will bring old memories
back to Us once more.
3"hcy aro very sweet, these old memo
ries, although a certain sadness clings
around them. For wo look Into tho past
through rose-colored glasses, and -ague
regrets come to us at tho Joys' which
never can rotuin. Wo must not dwell
In the past, for tho present Is with us
and tho future lies before us, vital, keen,
alluring. Some beautiful lines of a hy
gono writer carry a great truth with
them:
Mr eyes r dim with ehllalh tn
Sty heart l Idly .tirred.
..r.J.h" ams sound l In my wira
Ahtch In thoe days I heard.
' 'Thus fares It still an n&a conies on.
But yet the lser mind
-H"18 lM' for wha' It takes away
Than what It leases behind.
And so no vain regrets df a day that
Is dead mUBt hamper our present or
handicap our future. It is hard to break
links with tho past but Idlo dwelling on
old memories Is profitless,
Tho girl who hoards old letters and re
reads them all at Intervals Is not nctlng
wisely. There she sits In tho firelight
nd her heart Is beating a Ilttlo quicker
than usual as she goes over the contents
of that unlocked box. For she Is looking
Into a picture of all that has long sinco
gone by.
JSh,o draws out an old letter, and there
In the firelight she sees a steamer deck
and a man bending over the taffrall In
tile moonlight as he bent when she said
"no,"
Sha remembers how she cried that
night. Now her hands are touching the
letters that he wrote dear, lmpulslvo
letters but, although she liked him
dreadfully, dreadfully much, she couldn't
love lilm enough to accept him and so he

Over the Past
married some one quite dull and tlnat-
tractile!
Next comes a dance program, lis glossy
surface scratched by many nencllllncs.
Jim took many dances that evening.
Poor Jim, fighting at the front Just
now! She wonders If she will over see
him again 7
And hero comes a broken heart of sil
ver. What memories It nrouaest She
wonders If dear old Ocorgo has the other
half still. She was only n schoolgirl then
but It was a very serious love affair, all
tho sntno For a whole long year she
cared for George.
Then comes tho thing thnt hurts her
most. And womanlike, she lingers long
est over It. It Is an old ring, battered
and worn, and given her for a keepsake.
She thinks now on looking back over the
years that she must hnvc loved the man
who gave It to her only she didn't quite
realize thnt at the time. The ring was to
bo worn for ever. He said It was ono day
to be a wedding ring, nnd only returned
as such. He said but there, thev often
do, nnd end by marrying tho other girl.
Here Is great-hearted Claude's little
bundle of mementos poor Claude, who
died out In Africa. Ho loved her to the
very last. How was It that sho couldn't
fall In lovo with Claude? Ho was tho
finest of tho lot and ho died like a hero.
Sho holds Claude's package for a very
long time and her eyes arc rather moist
there In tho firelight.
Shall she keep theso old letters, with
tho memories they arouse7 For soon she
Is to be married to some one sho loves
very much. And yet and yet she hates
to sever the old links. There- Is a melan
choly pleasure In brooding over the past.
But finally she decides. "Tho future lies
In front nnd tho future Is his nnd mine,"
she says bravely. "Theso aro relics that
tell of a girlish heart and of many happy
times when tho hours wcro minutes, and
tho minutes too wonderful to bo true In
this world of sad realities! But I shall
burn these relics, for brooding over the
past can only sadden the present and
hamper tho future. 'He' would not like
mo to keep them."
So sho burns tho letters, and her heart
feels happier.
Old memories are very sweet and we
cannot always shut them out. Hut nn
Idle brooding over past glories will only
enervate the present, and tho wlso girl
will remember that In time.

Now squeeze most of the water out with
your hands nnd hang tho coat in tho sun

"Clara Scott, you and I are chums,
aren't we?" asked Miss Dorothy I.ang.
"Ves, of course," was the reply.
"Wo have been chums for three years?"
"Ves."
"And we have never quarreled about
; anything?"
, "No."

"No. though I hopo It's nothing awful."
'It Isn't so awfully awful. It's Just
Ilttlo bit awful."
"Well, let me draw a long breath first.
Now go ahead."
"Do you know what folks nrc saylng7"
"Mercy, tioj"
"They aro paling that Stephen St. Clair
Is trifling with you."
"Dorothy Lang, you don't mean It!"
"I've heard It a dozen times,"
"How do tho gossips know that wo are
not engaged?" Miss Clara nsked with
some show of splrjt nnd mnny blushes.
"Just as easy an pie. If you wero you'd
have told me nt once, nnd I'd hnvc sol
emnly ptomlsed to never, never tell, nnd
then gono around telling It to oven body.
No, you can't bo cngnKed let."
"But who says I wnnt to be7"
"Why, what a question. Of coiirso you
want to. Uvery girl docs. You nnd
Stephen should have been engaged
months ago.
"Hut who says we are In love?"
"They all think otl love each other
nnd thev cnn'l make out why tho ni
gngcmctit I: n't announced. In one vwi.v
It's none of m.v nffnlr, but being we mo
churns, nnd being I've nlwn.vs hoped you
would Bet n good husband, and being
Stephen Is certainly .i nlco loung man,
and being"
"Hut suppose he hasn't nsked me tn
marry hlni?"
"Oh!"
And suppose he does nnd I say no?
"Oh! Oh!"
"I nm going to do Just as I please
about It."
It was Miss Clara's fault thnt there
wnn tnllp nM.l Mm, m nfrntTfimpnt linil
yet been announced. Soon after she nnd
young Mr. St. Clnlr hnd become acquaint
ed tho question of American girls mar
l.vlng title-) enmo up. Mr. St. Clnlr was
aggressively ngalnst It. nnd more to he
nil flin nunnoltn alrtn Minn fnr IlflV OltlPr
reason tho girl hnd said: I
"I don't blame .them one little bit. its
only natural thnt u girl should want to
marry n man that Is looked up to bv a
large circle."
Thnt wns a blow for Mr St. Clnlr. He
was not a foreigner. He had no title. He
wns a cashier of a hank, nnd not 500 peo
ple knew him As to how many "looked
up to him" he had never figured, an It
was hli business to demand good security
from all borrowers. As time went on he
was In lovo, nnd ha would h.ivo admitted
It but for the girl's stand on the question
of titles. She. had n rich father nnd
money In her own light, nnd was hand
some besides, and most any day n money
hunter might drop over the water nnd
soe-k her hand. Sho seemed to be keeping
herself free for such an emergencv.
It Jolts a good man to propose mar
riage nnd he tinned down Stephen St.
Clnlr wns a good mnn nnd hn feared a
Jolt. Therefore, things dragged along
and tho gossips hnd something to wonder
over.
When n mnn is mystified and Irritated
bv the attitude ir another man ho can
say:
"What In thunder do 5011 mean by such
conduct 1"
What cm a girl say? Nothing!
Less than a month nfter the conversa
tion on tho veranda what looked like a
climax enme. Tho Baron Shmldt came
over frojn Germany In search of a wife.
Sho must be handsome. Sho must hn
charming. Sho must have money. Her
father must have heaps of tho long green,
so that when tho Baron hnd frittered
nway her dowry tho father's bank account
could be depended upon.
How did tho Baron find out about Miss
"Clara Scott, who didn't live within 50
miles of the port of New York, from which
he first got a sniff of the air of freedom?
Why, even tho hotel boys of Gotham keep
a list of tho heiresses of the whole United
States, and their charges are said to be
very model ate.
Baron Shmldt was made acquainted with
Mlsl Clara Scott.
Ho was a baron and a colonel nnd a
peisonal friend of the Kaiser's. Ho owned
several castles on tho Rhine. He was the
biggest frog in the pond at court and had
sevn medals for braery. He had six
decorations of honor.
He didn't make the mistake that some
foreigners do of popping the question
half an hour after ho was introduced.
Indeed, it was all of 40 minutes beforo
ho said that his life was lonely without
a wife. It was 10 minutes later when he
attempted to take nnd hold Miss Clara's
hand. It was Just 60 minutes Inter by
all the town clocks and dollar watches
that ho sighed a long, quivering sigh and
remarked that he had never loved before.
That evening Mr. St. Clair called. Miss
Clara told him of the baron, and narrowly
watched his face as she did so. He didn't

The Afternoon Party
Kllnor Is stilt down at Palm Beach, nnd
this morning I had a letter from her.
"The weather Is simply perfect, nnd I'd
give anything If lou wero still here,
Dorothy," she wrote. "We aro all having
a very good time, though things nro not
quite so lively as when you wcro here.
Your admirers go nround with a discon
solate, depressed look! I hear of one
young man who Is coming to soo you In

come, and Is all that could bo desired.
Tho foundation Is Nile green charmeuse,
nnd tho lace oversklrt comes Just to the
level of tho knees,
"There Is a wide girdle of tho char
mouse, and tho bodice Is In tho form, of a
Ilttlo coatee. Tho sleeves come Just below
tho elbow, and aro rather wide, finishing
with a set of Ilttlo frills.
"Tho collar Is high at tho back, but cut
V-shaped In the front, and I wear a
narrow black velvet ribbon which gives
quite a French touch to tho whole."
Elinor expects to return to town qutto
soon. I am looking forward to having
her back again.
This afternoon I went to a dreadful re
ception with mamma. All tho people were
quite old, nnd tho conversation wns most
uninteresting. I tried to introduce vari
ous topics, which wero nil severely
squashed. Tho ono subject which seemed
popular was "marriage." Tho mothers of
marriageable daughters talked about this
till I was bored stiff. Nobody listened to
