"Mother, John and I have always been rgood friends and I shall not question i'itny motive that brings htm to see me. I shall always be the same to him. You Ican't expect a man so deeply In love as ho is with Itoso to be regular In his attention to his girl friends. And no ona could help loving a beauty like Itoso. She's good, too." Elsie greeted John as If she had seen ililm yesterday, and soothed his evidently overwrought mood with a gentle, half- Jaughlng tact. He was tall and blonde, vlth fine blue eyes, which tonight were Clouded, and his face was a little care- vorn. Sometimes he gave random an- swers, as it he had not heard what she said. After a hnlf uneasy hour of the larch twilight he turned to her In awk- jward masculine gratitude for her pa- lence with him. "Elsie, am I keeping, you In? I have not thought to ask you It you wero going Anywhere." Sho smiled and bethought herself that Inaction was not good In nils present mood. I was going for a walk and can go u well another time.

Grievances aro to our lives Just what ugly, destroying wccdR are to gardens. They work endless havoc, and If we don't eradicate them In time, their work wilt be Irretrievable and devastating. We fondly Imagine that ono small weed does not matter at all. Uut that Is Just our mlstnke. Before we can look round, that small weed has becomo fast rooted and grown apace, so that Its off-shoots overrun the whole garden, usurping spaco which should bo occupied by moro beautiful and popular plants. And It Is Just tho same with grievances. Some little thing hurts us, some thing of omission or commission, some trivial word or act on tne part of a relative or friend mayb, some neglect or slight ing treatment. Possibly at tho moment of Its occur rence we are conscious of a passing hurt, but otherwise think llttlo about It. Dut afterwards Ahl When wo have tlmo for thinking, wo recall tho thoughtless words or trilling neglect, and brood over it until It is magnified to Incrcdlblo pro portions. Then very shortly wo lose all sense of proper perspective, and our whole world gets out of focus. Instead of dominating our grievance, wo allow It to dominate us than which there never was or is a greater mistake. Instead of looking It full In the face, and convincing ourselvos of our own folly, we weakly allow It to rulo our lives and actions, to the misery of ourselves and others. The wlso woman will cultivate a spirit of optimism which soars beyond the minor slights and grievances of life. And In so doing she will solvo tho problem of happiness. Mistake Then tho next tlmo wo met she did not even speak." "Are you sure she received It?" "Yes; I sent it by your brother, and he put It into her own hand. Ho did not wait for an answer sho could have sent that any way. Well, then I went away a few weeks I could not stand it here, and now that I am back it is worse than ever. I desoise myself for caring, but I hate Norman Cady for being near her. I thought if I told you perhaps Just put ting it Into words would wear off some of my anger and help mo forget her. Elsie, bo good to me, and help me forget her. Will you?" "You should go to her and have It out In words. There may be some mistake." There Is no mistake. Sho was simply playing with mo. Elsie, you were always my comrade bo so now In time of need." Elsie lauRhed, but It hurt her a little. "Very well. John; come to me whenever you want to; wo will talk and walk and you shall try to forget. I will not fall you." March was gone and April had had her last day of grace. It was the evening before May day. Elsie, happy hearted, was waiting on tho porch in the twi light. John was to come. Now ho nearly always came. They were going for an other wnlk In the spring twilight to wan der across the green hills and back along the roadways In the whlto moonlight. Elsie thought only of tho moment, but she could not help n little throb of glad ness that he so seldom spoke of Rose. She did not, as at first, regret tho cool ness that had sprung up between her and Rote. Nothing seemed to matter but be ing happy without thinking why. John called her "sister" hnlf Jokingly, but with entire affection, and while he sometimes wandered off Inconsolatcly by himself ho seemed content to be with her. And so she waited. As she waited her 15-year-old brother called dlstressedly from his room. "Sis! For goodness' sake get my good coat from the closet in the hall! I'm goln to be late to that party." Elsie went to the dark closet and emerged with a coat. She knocked nt his door. "Oh. come on In and help me with this fool tie! Great snakes! If you haven't got the wrong coat! Just like a girl! Haven't worn that old thing slnco win ter!" He snatched It from her Impa tiently, upside down. A letter fell from the pocket. Elsie picked it up and as she glanced at the address her face went white. "Terry! what Is this?" At tho sound of her voice he turned to look, and then stood stricken with tardy penitence. It was addressed to John Copeland, and in the lower left corner was inscribed in Rose's hand, "Kindness of Terry." Terry stared and struggled with tho refractory tie. "A pretty mess! Rose gave me that months ago, and I promised to take It straight to John. And like a fool I for got!" Then he cheered up. "Well, they're off anyway now. Probably she'll be glad he never saw It. I will take It back to her tomorrow." He wondered at the strange brightness of his sister's eyes, at the extreme whiteness of her face, "Gee! Not even Rose can touch you for looks, Slsl I don't wonder that John" She turned from him as John's whistle sounded below. She still held the letter. "I Bhall give It to John. It is his, I shall tell Mm you forgot. I " Then she went down to John. He sat contentedly on the porch with his hat pushed back on his fair head. Ha looked pareless and happy enough. At her approach he rose. "Readyfslater?" Her smile was odd rq4 she" hold the letter out to him. She k as it sne nan neea running: take this Inta the parlor and No one la there.

Around Bargain Counters Summer Frocks and Dresses IT REALLY seems phenomenal the way the large stores are selling out their summer merchandise. There are Innu merable bargain b in every line of ma terial, and the most appealing to the gen tle sex Just at present Is the one-piece gown, made either of taffeta, crepe de chine or wash goods. These aro rap idly diminishing In price, becoming less and less, txe compared to the prohibitive figures at the opening of the season, Embroidered and figured voiles promise to be the first choice In moderately priced lingerie frocks this summer. One large Market street department atore is Bell ing out some stunning voile gowns, In white, with colored girdles to give a note of elegance, at I&76. This is remark ably cheap, for these gowns are worth much more. For Instance, one style Is made with a three-tier skirt, laid In flounces ono above the other, and a short bolero Jacket. These little Jackets, by the way, are almost Indispensable on the fashionable lingerie frock. The front la made with a V-neck and wide revers of lace, and a soft satin girdle outlines the natural waist line. A navy blue taffeta frock seems to be useful on almost any occasion, and one shop Is selling them for J12.7S. This in cludes the fashionable wide bouffant skirts, some plaited, some with ropes at tho girdle and trimmed with Quaker collars and cuffs. This model also comesH In light shades, but It is safe to say that the navy Is by far the most pop ular. Velvet is a favorite trimming on the light sumaier frooks, made of voile, or gandie and (Ilk or cotton crepe. Strange to say. It is one of the most attractive vagaries of fashion.

Furthermore, her wedding outfit Is as dainty nnd ns sweet as the most fastidi ous brtde-to-ba could desire. Miss Estelle London, of South 17th street, put J200 Into her inner pocketbook when sho went forth on that most Joyous of all missions trousseau shopping. Sho got what she felt It was necessary for her to have and spent only 3196. "When I began to plan my outfit," she said the other day, "I couldn't seo my way clear under $500. But I didn't have the $500. I had only $250. I "was deter mined to have at least $50 worth of house hold linens. Fred and I aro going house keeping right away, and slnco we haven't any rich relatives to look after this detail for us, he will havo to provldo all tho furnishings. I thought the least I could do would be to get the sheets, towels and tnblo napery. "Getting these for $50 was more diffi cult than buying the trousseau, I after ward found, but I bought only In half dozens, hoping that later on we could supplement and have a dozen of every thing. I decided that as long as I could not afford expensive linen sheets and pillow cases, it would be better to have them of very good cotton. In this way I kept my linens down to the $50 limit, "I was determined to have a church wedding, with a white wedding dress, veil, orange blossoms and all.
