The engagement had been of her par

fond of Mr. Wilson but to find out
whether her feelings would stand the
test of time and absence.
"'From the beloved object. George,'

'"Well, sir,' I said. 'If I'd seen any

"All the time these two were IHrting
that engineer never said n word. He
went down to the engine room and lie

he never seemed to care the toss of a

mind be sho ved his sense. If he'd
given nny sign of Jealousy that girl
would have gone on a lot worse than
ahe did. As It was, she began to be
uneasy to feel that he didn't care;

got the Idea from the chap's manner
that there was some one else on shore,
and that he was doing this to punish
the girl for the way she'd treated him
on the voyage.
" 'It'd be hard to keep you from
that,' be said; 'you may go.'

'Now then, Mary.' be said, 'come

"Mary Price had taken a look at
Hoskins while the other was speak

to know ahout tho sincerity of the old
man's matrimonial intentions. So
qunrter of an hour afterwards, as
that engineer was going down the
gangway, she slipped her arm into his
and went with him.

enviously.

The new braids, particularly those
used for belts, are very noticeable for
tin- combination of gold thread, with
bright colors. Some of the prettiest of
these are silk braids In gay plaids,
with the design worked out In gild
thread; others have a white or colored
background, with the gold design
standing out In relief. Quite a nov
elty Is the application on n foundation
of straight silk braid or a gold sou
tache braid in various geometrical de
signs. Very wide ribbons are now seen In
the shops for making the fancy girdles
so much worn. Some of these ribbons
have a Dresden effect, others are gay
with enormous roses in red or pink,
and most of them nre at lenst twelve
inches in width. In making the girdles
the ribbon Is shirred on a fitted lining
and laced in the back by means of nar
row ribbon through little silk covered
rings. These girdles may be either
pointed In the back nnd front or of the

The Kent of Changing Clothes.
F.very woman should learn to change
her clothing. Take off the shoes you
have been wearing all day and put on
other shoes. The pinch will eonip In n
different plnce.
Take off the blouse you have worn nil
day nnd the collar which has been
round your throat since morning nnd
put on a different collar. You have
no idea how a fresh blouse rests one,
and especially a fresh piece of neck
wear. The pinch goes on a different
set of muscles.
Changing the underwear Is n good
plan, and best of all Is changing the
corsets. The bones will rub, no mat
ter how carefully you plan things, nnd
a new corset makes you feel as though
you were just beginning n day Instead
of Just finishing one.

"Where the Hhpa Plncil.es."
Thp Ladies' Home Journal has this
to say, ou Its editorial page: "Itead
about the experiences of oiks who
live ou small Incomes, and It Is curi
ous to study the different note in
which the husband or wife will tell
the story. The man tells how pretty
Is his liuine; bow well dressed are his
children; bow iippitlzlng the tuble al
ways looks, nnd bow good is the food.
There Is a ring of pride, of satisfac
tion, of Joyousness in the man's recital
of the story. Hut when the wife tells
the story the pride may be there, but
the same note of joy Is lacking. In
her telling you feel the hand of the
one who does It rather than the one
who sees only the results. You seem
to feel n little closer to the actual thing
itself and what It costs not lu money
so much as In labor to do It. The dif
ference lies In the fact that the hus
band sees the trouble; the wife achieves
them. The man swells with pride as
he speaks of her a the right kind of a
wife, a the one woman ln a thousand,
and so on. But, with all his pride, with
all tho credit he Is ready to give her,
and does give, the fact remains that
the man has by far the better part
of the bargain In the matter of living
on a small Income. Hard a be may
work outside the homo to bring the
mopey in, his wife must work harder
to spend the money wisely, keep with
in the income, and perhaps save some
thing. We hear a great deal nowa--lays,
of overworked men; hut bow lit
tle comparatively speaking, do we hear
of overworked women In the home?
Yet a woman has so much less to do
with, physically, than has a tnnn; the
work of no man earning a small sal
nry begins to lie equal to the work of
Ills wife to make that salary suffice.
Where rigid economy has to bo prac
ticed, the heaviest burdens Invari
ably come upon the wife. The shoe

Carrying a Mirror.
If you nre a woman and In style you
must have a mirror In the crown' of
your bat. This Is thp decree of the
National Milliners' Convention, recent
ly lu session In Kow York. This fad,
which met Immediate ndoptlou, was
Imported from Paris. Its charm Hps In
that It permits milady to primp and
admire herself In public without ap
pearing to do so. The mirror-crowned
hat was born of iiecesdty. The mirror
is of extra flue reflecting quality, and Is
sewed Inside the top of the crown. Its
uses will bp found to bp manifold, but
It will come In most handy when n
woman has ber hat off nnd wishes to
arrange her hair, use her powder-puff,
and touch her eyebrows before putting
It on. With ber mirror sewed In the
crown of her lint, any woman may
pretend to be arranging her hatpin or
some other Incidental, when renlly she
is making an Impromptu toilet.
The mirror will always be found
useful anil handy In railway trains,
In crowded dressing rooms, nt parks, on
boats, or other excursions, when the
wind Is likely to play havoc with the
feminine locks nud redden the femi
nine nose. At the theatre, If a woman
wishes to see who that loud or mellow
voiced person sitting behind her is,
she need not bodly turn and "rubber."
With the new mirror arrangement in
her bat, she can easily get the object
of her curiosity ln the focus and thereby
satisfy herself without nppearlug rude.
At church, the latp comers who tnke

A simple finish of two tucks Is still

where something different yet equally
simple Is desired a single band of trim

valuable possession to the girt who

line clamp, Invented by two Chicago
men, for attachment to a fence, post
or other support. It Is made lu two
parts, and operated by a thumbscrew.
The base or main portion Is perma
nently secured to the fence. At the
top of thp base is a hook, which Is
opposite to a similar hook on the pivot
piece, forming a clamp, nnd at the
bottom of each Is an opening to' re
ceive a thumbscrew. The Jaws of the
clamps nre opened by turning the
screw backward nnd the rope Inserted
between the hooks. The line Is then
drawn taut or tightened and the screw
tinned so as to bring the clamps
toward each other ns far as possible,
which firmly holds the line. Asstiin-

tug several of the clamps are In posi
tion at different parts, of the yard or
space In which the line Is to be
stretched, one end of the rope can be
secured to the first hook. It can then
be carried to the second clamp, drawn
tight and clamped to prevent It be
coming slack, and so on to a third and
fourth, until the end of the line is
reached. The advantage of this Is
obvious. Philadelphia Uecord.

NEW CORKSCREW.
Despite the multiplicity of cork
screws that have made their appear
ance In the last generation, there la
still nn occasional departure from
conventional type. The Illustration
ENGLISH COBKSCKKW.
shows a new device of this character,
of English origin. The cap, hinged on
one of the lever ends, covers both
ends, and affords a convenient handle
for Introducing the screw Into the
cork. When the screw has secured a
good grip on the cork the collar is
brought Into contact with the neck of
the bottle. The cap is then turned
back, the levers depressed, which,
owing to their design, give a powerful
and steady pull, which draws the cork
quietly and easily. The bottle, during
the operation, may be rested upon i
table or other similar support. Phlla

HOW TO STAND.
Now, in maintaining the body In thi
position shown at the right, says thl
Chicago Tribune, It is necessary to
exert almost every important "lnuscli
in the body, and the result Is a con.
stunt straining of the muscles, witb
consequent rigidity and early fatigue.
Standing still Is a difficult and fatigu
ing net. But standing In a proper at
tltude, with the Important Joints at
knee, hips, waist and tipper chest In
their correct position for resisting tb
down-pulling effect of gravity, if
neither disagreeable nor fatiguing.
