O or tlie chattering bevy or

KOf pinr.zu. 'Sometimes 1 have
fancied she ba.s .something
on her mind."
Mrs. Vaudcrveer frowned. 'Non
sense:" she said quickly. "Uinck mukes
any girl look pule; besides, Elinor's
mother has not been dead sis mouth,
and her deep mourning naturally slims
her off from nil the guyeties of n hum
mer resort. I try my best to make her !
feel less lonely, but she camut for
et
that she Is nn orphan."
Nevertheless, she felt worried. It
was no small responsibility to chaperon
an heiress, hut when she had under
taken Klinor Haywood for the smrinu r
a fit of melancholia was the !a-t tiling
In the world she had looked for. :-'Iie
had expected to have a bi.irle with
scores of Ineligible men. the kind that
always crowd nr.iund
a Kill with j
money, hut Klinor did not seem to car
for attention, and krpt to herself us
much as possible.
Ia fact, the one cliirlble man In the
place, the one whom Mrs. Yunderveer
had picked out hs th only desirable
party, she had kept at a severe dis
tance. This was Tom Landers a hand
some youns lawyer of good family
with wm means of Ids own. lie
seemed more than willing to try to
make Miss Haywood's life pleasanter,
tint later her nvolilnnco of hiin had
been noticeable. Mrs. Vandcrveer
wondered if there was another love
nffalr, of which sli knew imthlnc,
somewhere In the b.iekyi'uutid. She de
termit ed to tlnd out.
"Why don't y-m like Mr. Landers':"
she asked, when Uic two were alone
together. The nirl flushed painfully,
nnd turned nwny. "I don't dislike
him," she faltered, "but I ibm't care
to talk to him; you know I like to he
Qillet. In fact, I was wondering "
"Wonderini; what?" said the eider
woman, anxiously.
"There are so ,nnny people here. I
thoiiRht we might be more ctmfortahle
If we moved to some other p'.iiee."
Mrs. Vnnderveer raised her eyebrows
a tride. "My dear ulrl, that's fallen
Ions. You yourself chose this place,
and you know our rooms are taken for
the entire season."
The sirl mulled and said nothing
more. She was very unhappy. She
longed to tell Mrs. Yand.rvecr what
she felt It would blister her lips to
ntter, nnd yet It seemed strange thnt
she did not see for herself what nil the
people In the hotel knew. For tbouch
Tom Lani'efs had soicht her mt from
the very first and seemed determined
to make her like him In the end, he
did not conceal the fact that he was a
mnrried man; In fact, he was spendini;
his vacation with bin wife.
Klinor had not known It nt first. Mrs.
Vnnderveer had presented him, nnd
she had taken It for cr.inteil that he
was unmarried. lie had been so kind
and tliocL'ii'fi'l. nnd In her lonclineM
her henrt hud Rone out to him; with
out Intruding upon her jrrcat sorrow or
even mentioning It, he seemed to un
derstand everything, and by the very
sympathy of his manner hciucd her to
l'r her less. If be had only told hr
then!
Klinor could not remember whhouf a
certain humiliation the day when she
had first discovered the truth. A party
of Kills had chartered a conch and bail
persuaded br to drive wirli them.
Without listening she overhear.! the
rnnversutlon of Iho two Just in fr.mt of
ber and found that they were talking
about the Hubjw t of her own thoughts
Tom Lander.
"Yes. he's awfully handsome." said
the first smakcr. "but I thin!; Mix

"She Isn't Miss Landers, she's Mrs.
Landers; jnost peoplo mnko that inls
Iske." said her companion. "He was
waking about It the other day. They
think it o jfrent Joke."
By an effort of will Kllnor nerved
bersulf to dress and go downstairs to
meet Tom Landers' wife. She was nt
least no coward. He himself Intro
duced tier that very evening, nnd Kli
nor jrot tnroueU t aoujehow without
breaking- down. Mrs. Landera was

A few day Inter F.linor met Mrs.

I have something particular to any to

"Now I wont to know what Tom hn,

Women anil lirllglmi,
A writer In Harper's Weekly has
some striking observations to muke on
the subject of the emancipated woiuun
of to-day and her attitude towards re
ligion. It Is noted that although, ac
cording to the testimony of ministers,
men lire attending church more now
than they were a decaije ago, women
of leisure, on the other hand, are tit
tending less regularly and In fewer
numbers thnn formerly. Nor Is It with,
out significance, says the writer, that
the most explicit, outspoken plea foi
absolute Individualism In matters of
religion, and the ablest argument In
favor of abstention from social forms
of worship, should have been made by
ft woman Mrs. Margaret Dahtnri, the
weJJ known novelist. It Is a question
whother or not "woman's eating of the
fruit of the free of knowledge will
be good for the church nd rewarding
to tho woman."

THE SIMPLE LIFE.
A Question That U Perplexing til Ilcflna
ox i wf miHin venturj women.
The simple life has been preached
and advocated nnd harangued upon
since the earliest times, says the Hus
ton Post, nnd yet to-day we are more
sorely In need of It than ever before.
How to simplify our mode of living in
order to bring into it more thnt is
worth while? How to spend fewer
hours upon the gaining of a mere ex
istence in order to find leisure to enjoy
the plcnsures which nro possible to us?
These are questions which are perplex
ing tlm hearts nnd brains of the twen
leth century women, women who are
striving to solve the problem of what
Is really tho essential and true home
making. The burdens of this twentieth cen
tury civilization rest heavily upon us,
and we reel and Mugger beneath our
load of real and Imaginary duties, ob
ligations nnd responsibilities, until nt
last we find ourselves trying to solve
the problem of how much of the bur
den we niny drop as profitless and un
necessary nnd jet safeguard to our
selves n quiet mind anil n conscious
ness of duty done. We may have striv
en valiantly to be equal to the de
mands of tho new regime, but sooner
o- later we come to realize that it is
folly for us to go on piecing together
the tattered fragments of time that Is
left to us for the things that are really
wortli whllo, and we begin questioning
ourselves as to how we may fashion
our own individual lives according to
our own convictions.
It has been said that simplicity Is n
state of mind. It Is n state of mind to
which we must nttain by "the gospel
of healthy need, and not the life of
fancied wunt." To make our lives sim
ple nnd wholesome, and quiet and
peaceful, nnd to stamp our own Indi
viduality upon our homes, this is the
true secret of the way to the higher
life. Not that we should Ignore the
rnre nnd the beautiful in the decora
tion of our homes. Beauty and luxury
are often necessities. The beautiful
picture, the rare bit of statuary, the
graceful outlines of a Morris chair or
the handsome centrepiece, are rll n fit
ting nccompunimeut to simplicity in
the home.
It is the overdoing In our daily lives
nnd the overcrowding of our homes
with useless furnishings, our desire to
outshine our neighbor and nttain to so
citil distinction, which crowds out. the
things which are reully worth wlkile
the peace nnd happiness Hnd sweet se
renity which Is a benediction in our
home nnd tlie sign and seal of a reg
nant life. Detroit Free I'rcss.

for the ordinary person, who Is not

broidery on white should take the form
of a delicate tracery, otherwise It he
comes bourgeois." A dainty white
waist follows after this dictum. It Is
of line French flannel, nnd Is perhaps
loo elaborate' to come under the head
of n shirt waist. It Is cut after a shirt
waist model, however, except, that It
has n deep cuff. The sleeves are laid
In wide plents ns far down ns the el
bow.' Each plent Is ornamented with
a slender line of black and white silk
embroidery, and the end of each Is
marked by nn Inch-wide medallion, also
embroidered In black and white silk
The same embroidery trims the box
pleat down the front of the waist, nnd
n line of medallions runs across Jusl
below the bust line. P.ut the waist
does not depend on embroidery nlon
for its ornamentation, the high stock
collar Is n combination of embroidered
white llanncl and white lace. Lace-Is
also cppliqued to form a shallow round--Ing
yoke, which extends slightly over
tin sleeves, and the cuffs, are covered
with It.
To Look SIIrM.
Nothing Is prettier anil more becom

pretty complexion than white, but
white gloves must tie carefully avoid
ed by her sister of too ample charms.
Itlnck Is the color for the stout worn-
un, especially If she be of the black
eyed nnd black-haired type. A black
gown will make her look slighter than

The 8lx-Incb Fan.
The small fans have been used fot
several seasons now, under the name
of theatre fans. They were found the
most useful thing for use nt the play,
where a large fan is almost as much ot
a nuisance to one's neighbors as a
large bat. And, having proved their
convenience in this respect, they have
been accepted for other uses as well.
They are not nearly so picturesque
and graceful ns the large fans, espe
cially those soft big ones, ones of os

some years. liut one must bow to the
fashion, and Its decree is that the six

.Tint a Utile Pinch of Sort a.
A pinch of soda stirred Into milk
that Is to be boiled will keep it from
curdling. A bit of sodn tho size of a
pen added to the tomatoes for tomn
to cream soup, will prevent the milk's
"breaking" when it goes in; and It ia
a safeguard for nil cream soups.
A little soda put into the water In
which dried bean nre soaked will ex
pedite the process wonderfully without
influencing the flavor of the beans.
When cooking green vegetables' a
small pnrtlelo of sodn added to the
lKillIng water, Just before putting in
the vegetables, will keep them in fresh
color.

Ullower. if put on in cold water to

baking soda. They must be cooked
about twenty minutes after the water

should be left uncovered during ths
entire process.
There are Innumerable uses for this
same baking sodn, which are common
ly known. These nre only n few in
which its worth is not generally urn
derstood as a valuable ally to ths
housekeeper.
Furnlihlns of Bedrooms.
What is more conducive to sleep,
than an artistic bedroom, spotlesslj
clean nnd simple? It is a mistake tq
decorate any room too elaborately, but
particularly Is this the case with bed
rooms. The impurities thrown off 19
sleep should have no upholstered fur
niture or worsted hangings to whlcH
they can cling. Some housekeepers,
however. In their desire to be scrupw
lously neat nnd clean, make their bed
rooms as plain and bore as hospital
wards. This is absurd nnd defeats th
end for which bedrooms are intended,
for a person of refinement can sleep
better in pleasant surroundings.
The room should be comfortably and!
cheerfully furnished, though without
show or ostentation. The curtains at
the windows, which should be large
enough to let In plenty of light and air,
should be of simple muslin in soma
dainty design. Matting Is the best
covering for a bedroom floor, If the
floor is not of hard wood. If It Is, ln
expensive Japanese, or better still, slm
pie home made rugs of light material,
which can be easily shaken or cleaned,'
may be used.
Bra 88 or metal bedsteads are by all
means the best, because, the different
parts nre so tightly screwed together
that there are no crevices where dust
or impurities can lodge.
It is a mistake to have a very low;
ceiling In a bedroom, but unnecessary
to have a very high one. It should,
however, be high enough to sdmlt ot
thorough ventilation. It is needless
to add that growlngptant should never
be placed in the windows of a bad.
room, ns the earth and fertniror. nttn
give off malarial germs.
Delicate colors are most suitable In
furnishings. One of the prettiest bed
rooms Imaginable, In a country borne,
was recently decorated In cream and
yellow. It was papered with a very .
simple design of yellow pansles, on a'
cream ground, with a silver line run.
nlng lengthwise. The bedstead was of
white enameled Iron, trimmed with
brass, nnd tho bureau was sn ordinary,
chest of drawers, repainted and en.
ameled white, with brass door bandies
and oval mirror. Old-fashioned chairs
and waBhstand In white, with a pale
green screen and lamp of the same,
color completed the furniture. The .
waahstand stood In a small alcove, and,
a portiere of Japanese cotton crepe,
with a design In delicate yellow, sep
arated it from the room. Before thai
bed wa a aoft rug of silk. These ar.
tistlc furnishings cost only a trifle in
comparison wltb tho average cost of
bedroom fittings. New York Tribune.
