SUNSET X It 4 dream? The 4 Is dons, Th long, warm, fragrant summer day; Afar beyond the hills, the sua In partite splendor iinkt away; The firefly lights her floating spark, While here and there the first large star Look out, impatient for the dark; The cows etand waiting by the bars; A group of children saunters by Toward home, with laugh and sportive word, One pausing, as the hears the high Soft prelude of an unseen bird--"Sweet sweet eweet Sorrowful sorrowful sorrowful!" THE CAKE-AND-PIE ANGEL BY CARROLL anirwEFORE the congratulations .. follnttintr 111. trltimTilintit , - - ..... ( graduation from the high grown X Philip Conwa;. was listen ing to' n business offer from one of lils father's old friends, ir you accept UiIj position," the man was saying, "you are to go from place to place, nil over the country, wherever any unusual feathering Is In progress. Yon are to pitch your tent In the most prominent spot you can Oml, make tea with the appnrai.ua we provide, and distribute sample cups una advertising matter to the crowd. In each town you will need to hire two neat young women by the day to serve tea and wash the illshes. You need do uone of the actual labor your self, but you are to keep things in .' aiming order to be the business man ager. In fact. Of course we pay all expenses. Will you do It?" l must do something," replied Philip. "If you think I'm equal lo It if you're willing to trust me I'll be filad to try It." "Professor Kendall says yon have plenty of executive ability, and that you are trustworthy. Those are the principal requirements. It's a men's work, but I believe you are capable of doing it. Come to my office to-morrow morning If you decide to under take It. and I'll give you detailed In structions." The following morning Philip went tome Jubilant. Forty dollars a month :nd expenses seemed a princely sum to the boy. He thought almost scorn fully of his classmate, Sam Peters, who was tremendously elated over the prospect of earning Ave dollars a week. "Of course," said rhlllp, grandly, "It Isn't the sort of thing a man wants to engage in for life, but it's a good thing while It lasts, and mother needs every dollar I can earn. I know Mr. Prescott Is doing this solely because he and father were such friends, but 111 Just show him that ho didn't make any mistake." With this noble resolve the lad start ed out upon hit new and unusual en terprise, pitching his tent from week to week In strange and divers places. He visited towns that were undergo ing the agonies of street fairs, Bre men's tournaments. Fourth of July and other celebrations. He traveled in the wake of circuses nnd "Wild West" hows wherever there was a crowd, there was Philip with his free samples Of tea. He mastered the Intracacles of a complicated gasoline-stove, solved the problem of serving the greatest num ber of persons In the shortest Rpaee of time, and learned to hire, wlrh careful Judgment, his two white-aproned as sistants. He discovered, too, that each town possessed at least one small boy who was willing, for the trifling reward of dime and a few sample packages of tea, to fill his big copper boilers with water, and to keep the freakish gaso line stove from exploding or otherwise misbehaving. Of course Philip made mistakes at first, but he profited by them. Mr. Prescott, the tea-man, had reason to feel that he had made a wise choice In electing his friend's son as his ad vertising agent. Wherever the lad went he made friends. He had a bright, attractive face, he carried his handsome head with a Jaunty, seif respoctlng air, and ho was all business. His small boy assistants spake of him as "the pro prietor" and addressed him as "sir." Moreover, his mother was a gentle woman; therefore, her boy's speech was refined and his manners were Ir reproachable. "A fine boy," was the verdict wherever he went. The latter part of September found fcim In northern Michigan, where the Carp County Agricultural Fair was In progress. Ho obtained permission to pitch his tent between what the direct ors facetiously called "the Jelly-aud-Jam building" and the horticultural department. By Monday noon his out fit was unpacked and everything was ready for business; but the crowd was uot ready for tea. The fair grounds were Inconveniently far from town. Many the exhibit ors who had no Mn i f;t too poor fr patronize the railroad, even at jireatly reduced rates, curried their ex nlblts from town, over two miles of dusty road. The distance from the entrance gate to the buildings was considerable; but It seemed never to occur to the loung ing group of men and boys Just within the gate to offer any assistance to tlrvd old women, who fairly staggered under the weight of bonie-raade pickles, potted plants and rolls of rag carpet. His tent up, his samples unpacked tod bis helpers Instructed, Philip found time heavy on bis bands until tie discovered a weary old Irishwoman bent almost double over a huge basket of carrots, "Let me help yog," said Phlllo. springing to ber assistance. This was only tha first of many bas kets that th energetic lad carried from the gate to the buildings that day. The people amused him by their quaint patches, and It did not occur to him that ha was doing anything unusual. - Toward nooa b went to town for bis luncheon. As ha was entering the gat of th fair grounds on his return bs noticed just ahead of blm port! i B SONG. Down from immpatirn1i1 tiemliU The clear notes drop like crystal ram Aim ecno or an lose aengnts, All youth's high hopes, all hidden pain, All love's soft music, heard nn mnra But dreamed of and remembered long tin, now can mortal oira outpour Such human heartbreak in a songf What can he know of lonely years, Of idols only raised to fall, i Of broken faith and secret tears? And yet his song repeats them all ".Sweet sweet sweet , Sorrowful sorrowful sorrowful!" Elizabeth Akers WATSON RANKIN, COfX woman with two baskets filled with plates. "Let me carry those baskets," said t'lill ip, touching his cup. its easy to see you've been well brought up," said the woman, with disdainful glance at the loungers that sprawled on the benches. "I guess you don't b. iong to this town o, said rhlllp, "my home Is in Pennsylvania." "I'm the cnke-and-ple woman," vol unteered his companion, displaying n budge, upon which was printed, ".Su perintendent of Class O." "It beats all. the way folks bring their dough nuts and cake, nnd goodness knows what all else, without a sign of a plate to put 'em on. Every year I have to lug out a bushel or two of plates for other people's doughnuts. Come in when you're hungry nnd I'll let you sample some of mine. Thank you for carry in' the baskets. If I had a bov I'd like him to be Just such a boy as you are mine went to Cuba." Philip knew without further words that the boy who bad gone to Cuba had not returned. During the week that followed Mrs. Bailey and the "tea-boy" exchanged many courtesies In the way of cookies and cups of tea, and the lung, tiresome days were pleasanter for both In con sequence. The last day of the fair was the time set for on exciting aeries or horse races. The attendance on Friday af ternoon exceeded all previous records, and the entire crowd was assembled upon or near the grand stand. L'pon the platform used for the acrobatic performances rhlllp saw several men with fhelr bends close together over certain small books. PIiIIId had nr. tended too many county fairs not to recognize the men at once ns profes sional betters, who were quietly mak ing wagers on the various races. Tholr business Is seldom conducted openly nt mo rairs, nut surreptitious ways are not hard for them to find. Philip considered himself very much of a man, nnd quite capable of taking care or Himself under nny circum stances. To be sure, he had no Intpn. tlon of betting, but he wanted to see what was going on. The men on the platform seemed to be having a Ilvelv time; but as Philip was ellniblna- over the roll to Join them, one of them stopped him. "Itun homo to your mother, sonny." said the man, sneerlngly. "Were you tlilnkln' or puttlu' five cents on some body's nag?" Philip colored angrily, drew a roll of bills from his pocket, and retorted, i guess I'm old enough to bet if I want to. I've seen moro horse races this fall than you've ever seen alto gether. I know something about horses, too. nere, Just to show you that I'm no greenhorn, I'll put a fiver on Torchlight." Philip's knowledge of the ins and outs of betting, however, wag far more limited than he suspected; but the men winked at one another. They scented an easy victim. Torchlight won the first heat, and a surprising number of crisp bills found their way Into the lad's hands. Elated at sight of the money and spurred on by the Jeers and commendations of the men. Philip threw caution to the winds, staked all he had won and uiore on the second heat, and lost. In the meantime; Philip's stout friend, the motherly cake-and-ple wo man, had chanced to gee, from her place on the opposite grand stand, the group on the platform. Toward the end of the final heat, when every other neck was craned to see the horses sweep down the home-stretch, Mrs. Bailey sat with her shrewd eyes fixed upon Philip's face. She saw It grow white as the horses swept past the Judges' stand and under the wire. "My land!" said she. "If I'd realised sooner what be was up to I'd have marched over there and rescuud him! But maybe be ain't worth saving. Dear met I dou't know what this world's coniiu' to." With empty pockets and banging bead Philip worked his way through the crowd and set off serosa the field toward the little white tent Mrs. Bailey, surprised and disappointed, watched him until he disappeared from view. Then, with a loug, regretful sigh, she gave him up. "It's a pity a pity!" she said. "But when a mere babe like that Is steeped In vice It don't take blm long to land In the penltentlary-and blm the pleas antest boy I ever laid eyes on I I don't know when I've been so mistaken In anybody. Well, It's too bad-too bad!" Mrs. Bailey decided that she would have nothing further to do with the erring rblllp, but soma boura later, when she had locked up ber building for the night, some motberlji Impulse Impelled ber to look In upon ber young er neighbor for a farewell word. It was the last day of th fair, and aba knew that the tea-tent would bo mou la the morning. "After all, say In good-by ain't gohv to make a gambler of ma," said aba, philosophically, "and a kind word ain't goln' to do tba lad any barm. If be la bad. When all's said and done, he's been tba politest young chap" lira. Bailey opened tba flap of tba tent and stepped In, Philip waa seated on a wooden box, wltb bit bead against tba gasoUna tank, bis faca burled la bis bands. n bad dismissed bis as sistants, and he sat alone, as Mr Bailey sold afterward, "Just swallowed up In grief nnd unwashed teacups." "See here," said Mrs. Bailey, spread ing a newspaper over an upturned boiler And seating herself beside Philip, "I want to know how long this hers gamblln' business has been goln' onT You didn't strike me, somehow, as comln' of gamblln' stock." There was no response, but some thing warm and wet splashed on the boy's knee. Mrs. Bailey noticed It with a sudden ray of hope. "Cry away if you want to," said she, laying a kindly hand on Philip's shoul der. "I don't know ns I think any less of you for It. Was this, by any chance, the first time you've done any bet ting?" . - Philip nodded his head. "Sure pop, honor bright?" "Honor bright!" mumbled Philip, with a gulp. "The last, too." "Sure pop, the last?" "Yes." . . A "Then yon Just sit up here and"tell me about it like a man. If you can Just convince me that I haven't made a mistake In you, after all, you'll make me a happier old lady than I've been for some hours. I declare, It Just made me sick to see you with those men." Touched by her sympathy, Philip poured forth the whole story, adding that the money he had so foolishly risked and lost belonged to bis em ployer, from whom he had received It only the previous day, that he had mailed most of bis salary to his moth er, who needed It to eke out a slender Income, nnd thnt he was due In three day at a fair In another State, with no visible means of reaching his destina tion. "Hut, O dear, Mrs. Bailey," he con cluded, "the worst of It all Is that I'm so horribly disappointed In myself I I did think I had more sense. I didn't dream that I could be such an Idiot. I'm so ashamed I " "I don't know but that's the one re deeming feature," said Mrs. Bailey. 'Seventy-five dollars! That's a heap of money and nothln' to show for it! I don't pretend to know anything about horse racing, but they do say it's all fixed up beforehand whose horse Is to win and whose ain't that's one of the tricks of the trade. I guess you know by this time that betting ain't a safe pastime; but there there, I ain't goln' to scold a mite. Now you Just come right home with me, and get a good hot supper, for I don't believe you've had a bite; you can carry two baskets of plates back to the car for me, If you like, lou can sleep in Sam's bed I'd kind o' like to think there was a boy slecpln' in that bed once more, and goon's the bank's open In the mornln II see to it that you have enough to pay your way to wherever you want to go and nobody a bit the wiser." "Except me," sold Philip, genuinely surprised nnd deeply touched. "But, Mrs. Bnlley, you don't know one thing about me except what I've told you. now do you know I'm to be trusted?" "I'm wlllli!' to risk It," returned Mrs. Bailey, beaming over her spectacles. I guess a woman that's bought seven cows In ber lifetime, without bein' cheated once, ain't goin very far astray In her Judgment when It comes to folks cows and folks havin' a good many traits in common. I ain't a mite afraid of you." "You're Just an angel! I don't know how to thank " "Just a cake-and-ple angel," said Mrs. Bailey, rising cautiously from the creaking boiler. "Come, shut up shop quick as you can, my lad. It's most time for the last truin." Neither Philip nor Mrs. Bailey said a word nbout repaying the loan, but within a month the money began to return In Instalments. Each check was accompanied, by a letter that Mrs. Bailey considered far "more precious ttian the money. She read and re-read those letters until the paper parted at the creases. "The politest, the pleasantest and the most satisfy in' boy!" said she. Youth's Companion. Foreign Words. In Its review of the latest volume of the new Oxford Dictionary the Lon don Times points out a curious fact Illustrating the extent to which the English lunguage, like the race, Is built up from foreign sources. The part under consideration con tains 2454 main words. And bow. many of these 2454 are native Eng lish words? One! "Pan," the culinary vessel, Is the little, homely word which alone survives to remind us of the strong and simple race from which we spring. And even "pan," we may add, Is In the eyes of many philolo gists suspect from Its likeness to tho Latin "patina." Sixty-six columns devoted to words beginning with "para" by no means exhaust accretions from the Greek. But Latin, of course, forms the largest foreign element "Recalcitrant" belongs to a class which curiously illustrates the com plete Latlnlzatlon of English. You may scold a subordinate who does not "apprehend" your meaning, and even "Insult" him If he prove recalci trant;" but you cannot, If you would preserve your dignity, scold him be cause be does not "catch on," or "Jump on" blm If be "kicks" at your scolding. Yet these words are only the Saxon equivalent of the Latin. The Richest Girl In Europe. A very popular young girl Is Miss Krupp, who, since the death of her father, has been the chief proprietor of the Krupp works at Essen, In Ger many, and Is said to be the richest girl In the world. Young though she Is, she holds the fate of nutlons In ber keeping, for If the Krupp works re fused to supply a country with arms, that country would. Indeed, be In a bad way as regards fighting power, saya Home Notes.

Henry of Navarre himself need not have disdained the new brilliant white ostrich plumes which decorate our dress hats this season under the name of blanche plumes. The toque Is of crlo, glistening gray, pearl color, soft brown In many shades, dark blue or black. Wltb a singular unannlmity of choice the hat Is trimmed wltb a single long and wide curling ostrich feather, stationed In the middle of the crown and curling forward so as to form a complete circle or loon. Women Photographers. Young photographers have queer fancies. There are muny young women among the artists of country towns, and while they keep up their regular business in portrait work, they develop some odd preferences In the matter of subjects. A pretty faced Indiana girl with n whole lot of ro mantic Ideas, and who shares a gallery with her brother, has made a great hit In the work of "taking" no less romantic girls In the net of having their fortunes told by a wandering gypsy woman. She has already made several of these pictures, and artists who have seen them give her a great deal of credit for her work. Chicago Tribune. Lace For Clowns.' There axe any number of protly now crepy mutcrlnls thut wash wonderfully well, among them being crepe mar quise, which has a background of monotones with embroidered dots nnd crepe amazonee, very like the mar quise, with stripes instead of dots. Lovable and durable are the crepes, prlncesse and pompadour, combining the softness of the crinkly fabrics with the lustre of silk. For the trimming of these dainty confections there is a tape lace, one of tho smart new dentelle ventures, and another surprising novelty, a straw passementerie which the manufactur ers have mode pliable and silky and quite adaptable as an adornment for the hot weather blouse and skirt. How to It r due the Waist. Stand with the heels together, the toes pointing out slightly, the body erect, the chest high, and head straight and tho chin In. Hands are at the sides, palms forward. Now count seven, Inhaling through the nose, nnd swing arms up at the side until they are the width of the chest apart and above tho head, palms forward. Hold this position through four counts, and then, expelling the breath through the mouth, swing down until the finger tips come as close as possible to the floor. 1 he arms are stiff and the bend Ing Is done at the waist, not at the knees. The first time this exercise is tried the hands will be several Inches from the floor. When the summer girl can touch the floor with her fingers she may depend upon It that her wolst measure Is going down. Philadelphia inquirer. In Praise of tha Glore. Not without regret, says the Lady's iictoriai, is the fashion of going glove less to be observed. It Is pleaded that in not weather women suffer much discomfort from gloves, whereas man is freed from it. But all such argu ments are weak. The glove is one of the daintiest adjuncts of a woman's toilette. It possesses romantic nssO' clations, It Is always characteristic of Its wearer, it has an undoubted air of refinement about It, nnd, moreover, it Is cleanly and hygienic. To say that wituout it a woman does not look fin ished, that she appears less dalutv and less dignified, is perhaps a trifle exaggerated, but at least It Is a fact mat inattention to such trifles as gloves marks deterioration In woman. Anything that has this effect is to be sternly discouraged. And for this rea son the fashion of discarding gloves whenever possible Is not ono which can bo viewed with equanimity. Wars or Vslng Lace. One of the very new ways of using lace Is to take Insertion and border It with satin ruchlugs. Narrow satin ribbon Is used, and the ruchiiig is made thick nnd full. This Is sewn around the edge of the lace application, which Is then set upon the dress. Such oppll cations are used to trim skirts and blouses, and are also seen upon sleeves, and always with the edging of ribbon that gives tho finishing touch to tho lace. Then there Is the lac cockade ro setto that Is so charming upon the summer gown. It Is made of luce gath ered along one edge with a thread, which is pulled font, and tho rosette Is made. If desired, a llttlo Jewel can bo set In the middle of the rosette. Little lace roses ure charming Items. A group of thein in white Valenciennes Ince, wltb small red silk rosettes In tho middle, was observed upon one of the prettiest evening gowns of the season. These lace roses. In groups of six or eight, trim the skirts of even ing gowns, and those of day gowns. They are delightfully dainty, and are feminine to the very Inst degree. But there la still another new fad for the woman who likes pretty trimmings, and this a French one. Wide stoles of silk are aewn to the shoulder of the gown and are allowed to bang to the waist tine, where they are bordered with lace. Little trifling fancies these are, yet cbarmlng, In the sum and substance of tha season's wardrobe. Wea aaa After-Dlanar Talks. Women ss after-dinner speakers ap pesred for the first time last winter. Perhapa tbla Is the one diroctlon In which they were not expected to ax art themselves, but they have won suc cess. "There was never any reason why women should not bava gained dis tinction as speakers,'' said a. woman who Is herself considered to have no mean ability in tba line, "but tha fact remains that among, tbs list if mwsh. who have gained prominence in politics and in the various professions withlu tho past ton years or more very few could deliver a speech that was any thing more than an apology. But clul life has mode calls upon women for abilities in the way of reading papers aloud and Joining In public discussions, and, although these talks have re mained somewbat,henvy In tone, there Is a marked decrease in the self-consciousness, end awkward address that reully brilliant women used to be guilty of when called upon for a few words of acknowledgment or the thanks that courtesy demanded from a guest of honor at some public occa sion. "Women are emerging from this voiceless condition and at a recent dinner at which a successful young author was present she responded to a toast proposed In her honor In a witty speech, entirely extempore, nnd given with an easy grace and sparkling humor that were irresistible." Chi cago Chronicle. Ilondolr Cliat. Isn't It dreadful that we let our selves hate so much more readily than we let ourselves love? A man's idea of n charitable woman is the one who sees in bis faults only evidence of a quaint foolishness. No matter what a girl does with her fan, there arc some men who are sura that she's trying to flirt with them. Baltimore American. A curious fact Satan deprived Job of everything except bis wife. Ob server. A beautiful woman Is the only tyrant man is not authorized to resist Vic tor Hugo. Women know how to enjov n Joke even if they don't understand it. A woman socs beauty in the face of a man when men fail to detect It. Every woman likes to believe she s thoroughly honest in her convictions. A man wants to save money for his wcdd:ng, but the trouble is finding out what necessaries ho can cut out. Let n girl have nil the cash she wants and she begins to realize Its value. . Men allow women to have their way in an argument Just to, tickle their vanity. Th? woman who talks little usually has listeners when she says something. During leap year contractors who ad vertise for proposals should be careful to specify what they want them for. In society the art of talking comes first, the art of listening second, and the art of saying something Is left at tho post. The Most Unpopular Woman. The most unpopular woman is the one who, nt nny cost must have the last word. She Is much too apt to offend pimnle's prejudices nnd to rub them up the wrong way. She is per ilously apt to "nag," and a nagging per son is deservedly the terror of the world at large. She must have the last word in every discussion, for It Is much more valua ble to her than the things other people spend their lives In striving for honor, wealth, fame or happiness. She feels that If she does not secure that final sign of victory and triumph life would not be worth living, nnd she will fling away without another thought, domes tic peace nnd tho nffectiou of those nearest to her Just for the insignificant right of havlug thnt last word. She generally becomes querulous nnd peev ish. Everyone seems to bo afraid of her, nnd somi people even refuse to argue with her. If slio would only realize now she drives her friends away she would not Insist o:i having that "last word." One woman recently said that she knew a woman who insisted no matter what was said that the last word was for her. Some time ago there was gome discussion nbout the proper dress for a bride. Several women gave their opinions, nnd she Insisted that If a wiue would wear gray she would bo much better off In every wav. White being the proper attire, a wager was made that white was tho only color. and In order to give everyone a fair chance, some well known dressmaker was referred to. The dressmaker said that all over the world- brides usually wear white, and that this was found to be the most favorite because It could always be dyed another color If once soiled. There was no nnrumont necessary, but the one woman Insisted thnt gray was better because It did not soil so eusily. Tho result is that not one of the women wbo were dis puting tue ract wishes to speak to the woman since. Feminine Finery. Ribbons will be much used In mil linery.
