A GLORIFIED
AUNT JULIA.

By Carroll Watson Rankin.
v..
The two Blddle girls opened the
tIg express package eagerly. As
they expected. It contained two ready
made suits, one blue and one gray.
Eighteen-year-old Claudia seized the
gray Jacket and slipped it on. Louise,
two years younger, wriggled Into the
blue bolero.
Both garments fitted beautifully.
Aunt Julia Blddle, a tall, large boned,
badly dressed woman, with a mild,
listless countenance, and Mrs. Blddle,
a small; alert, trimly clad little per
son, with clear-cut features and sharp
black eyes, looked admiringly at the
. two pretty, graceful girls.
"Why couldn't I " began Aunt
Julia, with sudden eagerness, but she
got no further.
"Imagine Aunt Julia in an Alice
blue suit!" Interrupted Claudia, In
her shrill, thoughtless way.
"Mercy!" cried Louise. "With
your figure, Aunt Julia, you couldn't
wear ready made clothes. They don't
tnake your kind."
"Dear me, Julia," said Mrs. Blddle,
"you've Just had a new dress that is
entirely suited to your age. I hope
you're not thinking about another."
Aunt Julia, who had been thinking
About Just that, gazed longingly at
the fashionable flare of the long blue
aklrt and sighed. Her own skirts
did not flare. But she said nothing;
he never said a great deal.
All her life she had been depend
ent on other people. Not for money,
because she had a small but certain
Income of her own, but for advice.
She had, seemingly, no conceit and
no self-confidence, and It had not oc
curred to the Biddies to help her gain
any. The prevalent opinion was that
Aunt Julia alone would be a ship
Without a rudder.
Yet now that she was approaching
forty she sometimes rebelled Inward
ly against her sister-in-law's vigorous
piloting. .
She was realizing more and more
that she had never dressed according
to her own taste, but according to
Charlotte's, and never were tastes
more widely different. Yet Charlotte
was absolutely right in other matters
that It seemed Impossible that she
could be wrong about clothes. For
twenty years she had resolutely
warned Julia away from the cheerful
tripes and gay plaids that attracted
that lady's admiring eye, and had
' Imposed upon her more sober fab
rics. Charlotte meant well. She did
not dream that she had not done well.
- Even In her cradle Aunt Julia had
been a contradiction. All ber life
afterward she had been a curious
combination of youth and old age.
Her body seemed old for her years,
her mind seemed young.' The bash
lulness that should have vanished
With Aunt Julia's' girlhood lingered
to middle age, and sat unbecomingly
on her large, stout frame. Late in
the eighties Hannah Dyson,, the vil
tage seamstress, had dratted a pat
tern to fit Miss Biddle, and the fru
gal, unprogressiveseamstress was still
using modifications of the same pat
tern. "There are four new pieces of silk
on Fuller's bargain counter," an
nounced Aunt Julia one forenoon on
her return from market. "I'd like a
waist from one of them they're
good quality for the money but I
ion't know which would "
"If you like," offered Mrs. Biddle.
who was pinning on her hat, "the
girls and I will go right down with
yeu now, while the Bilk's still there,
to help you pick It out."
"I like this lavender," said Aunt
, Julia, when the quartet had reached
Puller's. "I've alwayB liked that
brightest shade."
"Mercy!" cried Claudia. "You'd
look like a bride in it! Why, Aunt
Julia, the only piece that Isn't too
young for you is that queer, dull
brown one."
"Yes, Julia," said Mrs. Biddle,
, flrmly, "that is certainly the most
(uitable one. Brown is your color."
"I (suppose It is," admitted Aunt
ffnlla, gazing with meek eyes, from
which the hopeful, lavender loving
lustre had faded, "but It does seem
as if I had worn browns forever."
"But at your age and with your
figure," said Mrs. Biddle, "there isn't
. much else.
A boy with a telegram was ringing
the Blddle doorbell when Aunt Julia,
' with the brown Bilk In a parcel under
her arm, returned home. The mes
sage was addressed to Miss Julia Bid
Ola. "It's from Cousin Harriet," ex
plained Aunt Julia, who had torn it
open. "She wants me to stay with
(her children while she goes East to
her father-in-law's funeral."
"It's fortunate that the telegram
came during banking hours," said
. tin. Biddle. "You'd better go after
what money you need while I pack
your trunk. If we all hurry we can
get you off on that 1 o'clock train.
It goes straight through."
"Do you suppose it's safe," asked
Claudia, as the 1 o'clock train pulled
.at of sight, "to trust Aunt Julia
lone In a city of shops I I noticed
that she pinned some bank bills In
side her bodice. With no one to head
her In the right direction she'll prob
ably buy herself some outrageous
clothes. I've notice lately that she
leans toward gorgeousness."
"Large persons," said Louise, with
the wisdom of sixteen, "have to dress
quietly or they look like frights.
She'll probably come home with
green parasols and purple gloves."
"Still," returned Mrs. Blddle, hope
fully, "she never buys anything with
out asking my advice. She'll write
for It; you wait and see."
Aunt Julia did write, 'but she
asked for no advice. Her letters
stated that she was having a good
time, -that Cousin Harriet had re
turned and had persuaded her to
spend a month with her, and that the
shops of Tlmmlnsville were much
better than those of Bancroft. This
last statement filled the Biddies with
vague alarms.. Aunt Julia had evi
dently been shopping; no doubt her
longer stay would make some shop
ping necessary.
Mrs. Blddle wrote what she con
sidered a tactful letter, advising mod
eration, and gently reminding Miss
Biddle of her advancing age and the
size of her bones.
Aunt Julia's next letter filled the
Biddies with a lively concern. It
mentioned in a modest postscript the
buying of a new gown.
"But," added Aunt Julia, with an
unusual touch of gaiety, "It looks so
much better than It Bounds that I
sha'n't attempt to describe It."
"Horrors!" gasped Claudia. "I
hope she hasn't disgraced this quiet
family by coming out In plaids."
"I see yards upon yards of bright
purple' said Louise, "with stockings
and shoes to match!"
"If Cousin Harriet had anything to
do with the choosing," remarked Mrs.
Blddle, "yon can be certain that It's
altogether too gay for a person of
Aunt' Julia's age and size. She prob
ably looks as if she'd Just escaped
from bedlam by this time, but I can't
help it."
"After all," said Louise, "it's her
money. Perhaps she realizes It."
The Biddies turned out In full
force to meet Aunt Julia. They were
glad she was coming home, for Miss
Biddle, in her quiet way, was a de
cidedly useful member of the family.
Aunt Julia appeared In a hand
some light gray skirt and Jacket.
She wore also a pale lavender Bilk
waist and a gray hat trimmed with
violets. Her youth had ceme to the
surface. Her young soul had at last
mastered her prematurely old body.
"My soul!" gaBped Claudia. "Isn't
she stunning? And isn't It becom
ing? Why, she's really pretty!"
"It's partly her hair," Bald Louise.
"It's done differently so much fluf
fier. But see how she holds her head
up. She's proud of herself."
"Why, Julia," cried Mrs. Biddle,
"how fine you look! I couldn't have
believed that you could wear light
colors."
"This is a ready made suit, altered
to fit," said Aunt Julia. "I've always
thought that If I could get the right
colors and have things properly and
becomingly made I'd be Just about as
good looking as anybody."
"And you are," declared Louise.
We're proud of you."
"Cousin Harriet helped me," con
fessed Aunt Julia. "There are more
clothes in my trunk."
Judged by the standards of Ban
croft, Aunt Julia's clothes were per
haps a trifle gorgeous, yet they were
surprisingly becoming. Seemingly
she was built for gorgeousness.
Hitherto all public honors had
passed her by, but now the Howells
Club awoke to the merits of this
neglected member and elected her
treasurer; the Woman's Guild sent
her as a delegate to the next auxil
iary meeting, and the local chapter
of the D. A. R., not to be outdone,
nominated her for vice-regent.
"It's her clothes," said Claudia.
"It's the consciousness of being
well dressed," returned Mrs. Blddle.
"It gives her a feeling of independ
ence that she's never had before.
I'm afraid It's been largely my fault,
for I've made her take bad advice for
years. I don't see how she can for
give me."
"What's that about forgiving?" de
manded Aunt Julia, from the door
way. "Julia," said Mrs. Biddle, earnest
ly, "I feel as if I'd murdered the best
part of your youth as if I'd smoth
ered it with sensible clothes. Every
woman should be allowed to express
her own individuality through the
medium of her clothes. I brushed
aBide all your preferences and tried
to substitute mine. I believe I'd feel
better if you'd say what you think
about it."
"Well," returned Aunt Julia, sim
ply, "if I had any resentful feelings
and I guess I did have Just a few
I stuffed them into Cousin Harriet s
furnace with those awful waists of
Hannah Dyson's. And perhaps it's a
good thing to have one's youth bot
tled up agalnBt the time when one
needs it most I'm certainly enjoy
ing mine now." Youth's Companion,

. At a reception in Washington some
time ago one of the guests, a man
with a poor memory for faces and,
in addition, a little near-sighted, took
the host aside and spoke to him in a
confidential whisper.
"You see that tall man standing
by the door?" he asked.
"Yes."
"Well, I was talking to him awhile
ago about the terribly cold weather
in Nebraska last year, and he yawned
In my face."
The host smiled. "Don't you know
who he is?" asked he.
"No."

The city of Vienna has undertaken

the most remarkable electric, or elec

It is situated in the Schwartzenberg

placed twenty-seven reflecting lamps,
capable of producing seventy different
luminous and colored effects. The
light Is transmitted through the wa

of the plant is estimated as equal to
900,000,000 candles.
Sir Patrick Manson, In his recent
lectures on tropical diseases, al

merely of human patients, but also
of anthropoid apes, and perhaps even
of various other mammals, which, in

A Tip to Careless Women. .
"Sometimes I wonder," said the
particular man, "if half the women
take the trouble before they start
out to see how they look In the back.
I don't believe they do. I have seen
women as neat as new pins as far as
their necks and waists and shoes
were concerned, when they faced you,
but the moment you got a look at
their back! Wow! Shoes down at
! the heel, a hole in the stocking, saf
ety pins at the waist line, buttons un
buttoned on the waist, the neck half
fastened and the back hair looking
! as if it had hardly been combed. If
they haven't any eyes for the back of
them, we have." Philadelphia Rec

A Black Silk Rag Which Swells Out
With Spirit Hands.
A German spiritualist, writing in
Psychic Studies, describes a new ap
paratus for obtaining what is known
as direct writing. It consists of a
cubical box about a foot each way,
the front being formed of a conical
bag of soft but closely woven black
silk. Through a hole In the tip of
the bag a pencil is placed, bo that the
longer part la Inside the bag and the
point outside.
"The notion Is that a spirit band
can materialize Inside the conical bag
or Bleeve,". says the account, "and
can direct the movement of the pencil
over the paper. A medium, a country
girl of fourteen, who can only read,
write and work the simplest arith
metic, placed her hands on the top
of the box, in full sight, and soon the
conical bag swelled out as though a
hand were Inside, and the pencil be
gan to write. The box and bag being
entirely closed and dark inside, there
Is no obstacle to the materialization
of a hand within; thus direct writing
can he obtained In a lighted room."

Toast to Laughter.
Here's to laughter, the sunshine
of the soul, the happiness of the
heart, the leaven of youth, the priv
ilege of purity, the echo of Innocence,
the treasure of the humble, the
wealth of the p,oor, the bead of the
cup of pleasure; It dispels dejection,
banishes blues and mangles melan
choly; for It's the foe of woe, the
destroyer of depression, the enemy
of grief; It Is what kings envy peas
ants, plutocrats envy the poor, the
guilty envy the Innocent; It's the
sheen on the silver of smiles, the
ripple on the waters' delight, the
glint of the gold of gladness; without
it humor would be dumb, wit would
wither, dimples would disappear and
smiles would shrivel, for it's a glow
of a clean conscience, the voice of a
pure soul, the birth cry of mirth, the
swan-song of sadness. Laughter!

Making a Million Dots. '
The English noblemen of a cen

of their time in making wagers of the

that he could find a man to travel
from London to Edinburgh and back
in less time than it took another peer
to make a million dots.

SEA GULLS OF SHETLAND.
now People Look After the Big Birds
Only Tree on tho Island.
Up a little lane of Lerwick's one
street there is a garden. At least It
is an enclosed space. In the middle
of this space is a tree. It is not a
very tall tree; you could, In fact, toss
a biscuit over its branches, but still
It is a tree the only tree In Shet
land. And Shetland is proud of it
Children who are brought for the
first time to see the wonders of one
streeted Lerwick are shown this tree.
This is not fiction. It Is the only
tree in Shetland.
As there are no trees in Shetland,
there are no birds, except, of course,
the sea gulls, which you can number
by the thousand. The sea gulls are
the sparrows of Lerwick, and as such
they have a greater share In the
town's life than have the sparrows
of London. In the morning time
you will note that a sea gull sits on
every chimney pot. Sea gulls hover
over every roof In the town.
The air is full of their strange,
h'gh, plaintive, haunting cries. Their
sad, Bhrlll, long drawn cries are to
Lerwick as the chattering of sparrows
or the cawing of rooks are to us in
England. Every house has Its own
familiar sea gulls, and every street
its own band of sea gulls. They
never -mix. The children in each
house have pet names for their own
particular sea gulls, and, having
called them by those names, they feed
them every day. And each sea 'gull
knows what is meant for him.
No sea gull attached to one house
ever seeks to eat the food scattered
from the houBe next door. He does
not dare; the other sea gulls would
kill him. So all day long the sea
gulls hover and call over the roofs
of Lerwick. The people of the town,
if they come across a little pile of
rice laid upon the roadway, step over
it with care. They know that It is
placed there for some sea gull. And
at night the sea gulls leave their own
appointed chimney pots and fly grace
fully away to their resting places
on the rocks of the Isle of Noss

A Good Critic.
Sir Henry Irving, the English
actor, once wanted a white horse to
use in one of his scenes, but no white
horse that was suitable could he get
At last, the London Globe tells the
story, a stage-band advised him to
apply to a certain distinguished
actor-manager, who, he said, had
such a horse.
Sir Henry visited the owner, in
spected the horse, and the bargain
was concluded, but as an after
thought, Sir Henry said he trusted
the animal was not fractious.
"Not at all, Sir Henry, I assure
you; an excellent horse In every way.
Why, I rode him night after night,
and all I had to complain of was that
he would occasionally yawn when I
was on the stage." -
"Indeed," said Sir Henry. "A bit
of a critic, then, evidently."
Bachelors.
"Bachelors can be found roaming
at large in all parts of the world.
They inhabit apartments, clubs, open

halls. They hover at times near front
gates, and have been found in back

light. "Bachelors are nomadic by nature
and variable in their tastes, never
going with one girl long enough to
be dangerous.

rarely keep It. . Rich bachelors are
hunted openly and shamelessly, and
are always in great danger., Those
who finally escape are,, as a rule,
useless ever afterwards." Tom Mas
