JIW^VCVA<WMIW?WWMMMMMMW> tVwVtW SAREPTA'S SUIT By MARY J. CLARK ?. lilt, by McClor. Nawap&p" HyMlcatc. "We've all told our vacation plana but you, Anna," said one of a croup of young teacher*. "Yea" chimed In another, "and we are dying to know whom you are mak ing thle aet for." "Isn'Vlt lovely 1" exclaimed two in a breath, aa they held up collar and cuff* end a vest of exqulalte embroidery. "You can almost pick off those violets." "Whoever gets that set Mil be tacky." "Well," said Anna. 'Tm going out In the country, way back, and I shall take Aunt Sarepta to spend Sunday In Boston, and she Is to have this set. You see, girls, it's like tjils. She never bad a chance to go anywhere?always stayed at home and been a good angel to her father and mother. "She and Oncle Amos were lovers then, and he wanted to be married, but she waited on and on because the old people needed her so much. Then he was shipwrecked and thrown ashore nearer dead than alive, and crippled for life; but she married him just the same." Anna had been planning the treat for a long time, and last vacation had made a visit to Aunt Sarepta and begged to make over her one best gown, a dove-colored silk. "Why, ch<ld," objected Aunt Sarepta, "It was my wedding gown. I don't go anywhere to wear It. I expect to be laid out in it" "You're going to have some good times before you are laid out, and In this very gown, too. Let me take your measures. "Thorn unntla " ah a Hnol n roH aa aha gave a final whisk to the tape measure, "there's enough of silk, and I will have everything ready. Sunday dawned clear and cold. Anna had planned an early start for Boston and It was time to hurry break fast and begin Aunt Sarepta's adorn ing. Behold, then, Aunt Sdrepta In her dove-colored silk, complete with the lovely embroidered set?a dainty bon net nestling In the puffs of her soft gray hair and a pair of beautiful light gloves for a final touch. Aunt Sarepta and Anna picked their way across lots to the new bridge, where Just beyond, they could take the trolley. "Ldok out. Auntie. Don't fall?It'a dreadfully slippery going down to tbe bridge." "I'll be careful. Land o' liberty! You are down yourself. Are you hurt, Anna? Can't you get up?" "I'm trying. Oh, dear 1 I can't, rve twisted my foot somehow, and now we can't go to Boston." "Let me help you, ladles," said a hearty voice, as a stalwart young fig ure emerged from under the bridge. "Hugh ? Mr. Dorrance*?where did you come from?" "Under the bridge?been doing a Mt of Inspecting, and I saw you fall. Miss Anna, you can't walk." "Try," urged Aunt Sarepta, "and I'll stand one side of you and help." "By your leave," said Hugh, and gathering Anna's slender figure In his arms, he followed In Aunt Sarepta's wake, bearing his burden like a feather. -sno. now, wnats to pay!" snouted Uncle Amos, clattering to the door on his crutches. "There, dearie," said Aunt Surepta, 'it's a sprain, and you will have to keep still. I know just what to do, and I have got everything Handy." "I don't mind for myself," faltered poor Anna, "but I cant stand your not going to Boston. I'm not sorry, I'm just madf and she lifted her eyea, half tearful, half smiling, to Hugh. "Now," said the young man, "I have this day to myself. That Inspection at the bridge was for my own benefit, and If you will trust me with your aunt, I'll brush up a little and take her to Boston myself. There Is plenty of time." "Would you really?" cried Anna, joy ously. Once more Aunt Sarepta started, and as she and her escort walked along, she told him about her new suit. The young civil engineer listened, and did a great deal of thinking. He was en his mettle. The old lady should not be the loser by change of escort. They arrived at one of the finest churches just In time, and from one of the best seats Aunt Barepta feasted her eyes on the garden of lilies In the chancel. Dear old lady! There was a choice little dinner afterwards, and some sight-seeing, and then home again to the old cambrel roof. "I feel hs if I had been to furrtn parts, just like Amos," said Aunt Sar epta, its she 'bade the young man good night. Later, us she stood before the little cracked looking-glass, she whispered softly to herself: "I hain't forgot all about young folks, and I wouldn't won der If this new suit was all ready for a wedding."
