THE DAILY STORY
5M
' dj l a
Lily of
Norah Fogarty knelt In the dim church
nd prayed not for absolution, but for a
new gown.
It was the Wednesday before Hauler.
Tim McCarthy's Invitation to tn annual
ball ot "The Older or the Golden Fleece"
on Kastcr Monday night luj tear-stained
and ciumpled on the cushion beiilnd lift .
and Noinh. like her predecessor lu woe,
Floia McFllmsey, had nothing to wear
that Is, nothing wot thy of Hie annual
ball of the aforc-mcntlnned association.
.And Norah loved Tim. She hud told
him at his very urgent request some
months before, and they bad agreed to
wait patiently and decently until Tim's
two young sisters had become self-supporting
and the lover could afford to set
up an establishment of his own at a
safe distance from the noisy Hat occupied
"by his widowed mother and her brood.
Norah, too, had her responsibilities.
Her father was one of those happily
constituted Individuals who believed
that the world owed him a living, and
It happened that from his point of
view just now Nornh repiesented the
world. And when one'w mother sprains
her wrist and cannot malte buttonholes
for threo weeks, and one's little brother
Is so Inconsiderate as to contract u stub
born nttack of measles, one may not
lay tip money for bull gowns.
So Norah prayed In the firm belief
that tho Mother of Sorrows, who had
answered her petition for her own
mother's recovery two jears back at
the hospital, would incline her ear to
bo personal a request as a new dress.
The answer came In less than 10 min
utes, Norah acuriied mound the corner
and plunged Into the lunchtlde throng
nhlch filled Broadway from window to
curb- A man Jostled her rudely, and with
the tiue womanly Instinct she turned to
Uie nearest window to see , hether her

pins cNorali forgot her hat. and her artistic
e eiiiya rejoiced In the wealth of dainty
(n cor colorings. She had never dreamed that
pauer came in much ueautltiil patteruu.
Then Norah gasped. Her hand closed
qouvuUlvely over her puise it held
a dollar that she could spare. Norah
shut her eyes far Just an instant, as if
the thought made her dizzy, then with
ery vlnk cheeks and her bead held high
Rnd marched Into the store. "
"Yea, we have It In pink the brocade,
yqu. mean? Twenty cents a roll, eight
yards to the roll. For a dress um-um!
Why, if you sewed It on a foundation

And Norah wan again speeding MP the
istrtet, bcr eye very bright and a bulky
jiacKase tucked securely under her arms.
For the ball or the Order of the Gol
jdort FItece was to be a fancy dress af

In thein. and t don't wonder at It. For
their lack of aidor Is scarcely llatteilng
to either patty. And ct they would be
curloutly "lost" without them; that Is
the dlsagieeahle patt of It. To lake no
very keen pleasure In the affair, and .Vc'.
to be oddly unhanpv without It Is typical
of the model n engagement.
It seems to be merely n question of
custom, and not n queillon of youthful ln
fatuatlon nl nil. One wnti'il expect this at
lltudo of inlii. I In old folks and not In tbo
Jounger generation. After ninny, many
cnts of matrimony, one would e.pcet
the Great Adventure to cease being the
wildly thrilling alTalr It was in the eatly
days, and settlo Into something much
more prosaic, easy-going and comfort
able. Hut one nowadays sees nothing of
the sort. For the old folks nt home nre
the pcoplo who really are romantic, and
the young folks who arc foreer gadding
abioad are the bored, half-hearted, blase
loveis!
Have you ever heard the modern en
gaged couple talking to each other over
the telephone, for Instance? Although the
telephone Is not n p.iitlcularly romantic
Instrument, one would still expect more
romantic or, at anv into, less prosaic lit.
terancCK to be wafted over the wltc.
"Hello, Mary," the enamored lover will
murmur Into the phone In an absent
minded Way. "Haven't seen ,ou for
nearly 10 days! Guess I'm too Hied to
cotno mound tonight. I may look lu to
monow If 1 feel like It."
And Mary. In no way nnno.ved by these
stratmc manifestations or cnthusLiMii,
will reply bilsUly, "That's all light, John,
hut don't bother coming to see me lo
uioriow night, an I've ananged to go to
the theatre with Jim Smith."
John licicupon showed sjmptom of
quito obvious iclief, tlie'whlle Ills faithful
little lldiu'co continues clicoi full : "I've
IKed up dates for every evening this
week and Sundav I'm going away for
the day. I guess you could come to see !
me Monday night, and anyhow, It would j
bc a good time foi mo to stay home and
mend stockings. Theie's such a pile
walling to be done and mother never
slops talking about them: Yes, como
ainund next Monday night, John."
So John possesses his soul in patience
till Monday night. At the rated hour
he duly nrrlvos and with him his trens
uied companion, the evening paper, lie
greets Mary with a bicezy "uello," sinks
Into Hie almchulr. lights his pipe and
opens out his paper with an anticipatory
sigh or enjoyment. Mary settles licisclf
to thai darning busbies and there Is a
piofound and peaceful silence In the
loom. Both ale quito content and both
aro peifectly satisfied with the arrange
ment. And this Is perfectly typical of many
a modern engagement.

never u 5th avenue belle Impoited from
Pat Is.
Precious little did Tim McCnithy see
of -his sweetheart for tbo next few da.vs,
for Noi.ih had much lo do. and she put
him off on the plea that he bad a gicat
surprise coming for the ulglil of the ball.
And surprised he was. When he called
ut the Foguity lint on Hastcr Monday
night, honest iiin could hardly believe
his own e.ves. Never outside of plctuio
books had he been such n vision In pink
as Norah, her eses Bhlnlng like twin
stars, her soft, blown hair waved above
her Ivory-white brow and crowned with
a dainty wreatli of carnationn Just burst
ing Into bloom.
"Stand your distance, Tim," said Norah
with a nervous little laugh. "Suie,
mother and mo have worked the week
like twin slaves, un' you mustn't mu-a
it now."
"I'm glad I brought a carriage," said
Tim, his eyes glowing ptoudly, "for no
fairy like me Norali should be walking
to Powers' ball. Sine, It wouldn't sur
prise me at all If Mr. Huggan, president
of the association, asked you to lead Hie
grand march with hhn.'
"Uon't be teasing me, Tim." said Norah,
but It was to her mother that she turned
to have tho fleecy fascinator and tho
old-fashioned paisley shawl wrapped
about her.
Hut Tim proved to be a good proplut,
for the president of the association had a
keen eye for Irish beauty, and It was
Norah'H pretty faco he saw long before
he noticed the dress with its garlands ot
Mowers.
"Sure, you nero the bello of the ball,
Norah, an' I'm that proud of you, I can t
tell It. I asked llnggau to be the best
man, Norah, an' he accepted on the spot
How's that for a compliment to ou'' And
your card looks like the pencils had been
daucin' a jU on it, with Ivery dance di
vided Into parts. There wasn't a girl In
the room could touch you, Norah, and you
made me think of thlm verses from the
Hlhlo about the lilies of the Held givin'
pointers to Solomon himself,"
Norah did not answer. Something very
like a sob followed bis words, and then
North's bead drooped wearily. She was
crying softly.
"Norah, me elrl, what's wrong with
you'f" asked Tim, anxiously, "Maybe
you've danced too much?"
"No, no." sobbed Norah, "but I'm
ashamed to look you in the face, Tim.
I've deceived you, you being a man and
knowing nothing about clothes. Me dress
was made of paperand the girls have
been making fun of me, as you tbousht
was the belle of the ball,"
Tim reached fr her hot. trembling
hangs, and smiled In the darkness of
the cab.
"Sure I knrw It from the start, Norah
You niver decayed me a bit. "Twaa Mary
O'Hearn that let me know at once whin
you walked 'iff with Haggan. Sure she
was that Jealous, he couldn't hold in the
information. An' listen, me girl. I d
rather oud wear paper that's paid for,
than satin that ain't, or hired clothes that

It tells me pialn that you won't be run

Imagine Hint there Is a good roundatlon
for his foolish want of trust.
A lover Is Inclined, perhaps naturally,
to be a trifle Jealous of the beloved one;
but even this usually haimless character
istic should not be Pneourugcd overmuch.
As for suspicion. It should never raise
Us ugly head In the pnradlse of love; If
It does. It will spoil everything nnd cast
a gloom over what should be undiluted
happiness.
A wise girl will therefore always try
gently to laugh her sweetheart out of
such unplensant fancies; of course, she
will be careful not to give him reason to
begin them, but If they do unluckily crop
up, then bhe will do her utmost to banish
them.
Kindly laughter will often do more lo
make a man see that he has been foolMi
and wrong than any nmoiint of the best
lutentioncd scolding or leproachcs.
The latter aio apt to le.ne a soreness
and resentment behind them, whereas a
good-natured laugh leaves no sting of any
sort.
The very fact of smiling over a matter
together makes a bond of union and har

An Afternoon Froclc-
1 saw the most effective afternoon frock
the other day, nnd, as I had almost for
gotten to buy any new clothes for my
self in my rffotts to help Elinor out, I
went Into the shop Immediately for ft
closer inspection. I said the frock was
effective, mid I know this Is a terribly
overworked wold, but this was such nn
odd go nn Hint It Is tho only wny to de
scribe, It at nil.
It was a very handsome bended affair,
more like a bizarre evening gown than nn
Afternoon frock, although the woman In
tho shop said It might bc worn on both
occasions If I wanted to economize. 1
don't know whether It is economy or not
to buy n gown which mounts up to three
figures, but I did It Just the same.

AROUND THE BARGAIN COUNTERS
Newest Findings in Suits and Street Gowns
There nic many attractive street gowna
to be had lu the shops, If you have tho
time to go about and pick out tho most
reasonably pi feed ones, and tho best
styles of tho season. All tho smnrt tai
lored suits and street gowns aro made In
dark colors, navy nnd midnight blue
being the most lu demand.
Here are n few street gowns which may
bo bought nt a large Market street store
for JIG. One was a navy blue taffeta
house dress, with tiny straps over tho
shoulders, nnd a full, flaring skirt, laid
In deep plaits at tho hips. A black and
whlto striped belt outlined tho high waist
line, and was rather wider than tho ex
tremely narrow ones seen on tho gowns
this season. Novelty black-and-white
buttons decorated the front of the blouse,
which was also made of the taffeta.
A combination of materials Is always
attractive, and another gown nt tho same
prlco was shown with this effect. The
blouse wns mado ot natural silk pongee,
nnd the skirt of navy blue taffeta. Tho
popular straps were used over each shoul
der, and tho blouse Itself was finished off
with dainty collars nnd cuffs of batiste.
Buttons were nlso used as trimming In
the front and the skirt wns wide.
A rather elaborate gown was made of
taupo faille, with gold nnd gray em
broidery. The skirt was entirely made
of knlfo plaits, with two pockets on the
sides, a short and very ornato coatee.
Trifles
Once In n lifetime, perhaps, we como
to some gieat turning-point, when wo
have to decide whether wo will turn to
tho left or tho right. Some great oppor
tunity arises, the taking or ignoring ot
which will make or mar the whole of our
career.
Ah Shakespeare says:
"There Is a tide In the affairs of men
Which, taken at Its flood, leads on to for
tune; Omitted, nil th9 voyaeo of their life
Is bound in shidows and In miseries."
But every day and all day lltUe op
portunities and chances are cropping up
in our path, and though no big crisis may
disturb this present hour. It Is almost cer
tain that some llttlo incident will occur
which we shall havo to meet with calm
ness and good humoT or with vexation
and Irritability.
For every moment of our lives we are
choosing deciding for the good or the
evil, being selfish or unselfish; giving
or taking; helping or hindering.
Discontented people call this life a trial;
really, It Is a series of little trials trials
whi;h we aro bound to undergo In order
to make us fit for the next life. The tiials
nre, no doubt, sent to us for our good,
but the decision of how wo aro going
to use them rests with us.
Our domestic affairs go wrong, tho cake
burns In the oven; hero Is the crisis of
tho moment. Do you decide to be cross
or calm? ,
Your child needs correcting, but It Is
easier to let her have her own way,
bad us It Is for her. Are you going to
