The Almost
Tragic Tale of
AnEasterHat
Bu MABION C SMITH
Copyright, ISM, by M. O. Smith
H. ARTHUR AVERT was In a
bad humor. He glared suspi
ciously at his coffee, tasted It
as If he suspected It of being
poisoned, scowliH viciously at bis
boiled egg and pushed It from him.
"Hard as a brickbat," he snapped.
"Can't you get a cook who can read
the dock?"
He was one of those men who are
always in a bad humor when their
consciences are out of order. He had
Just refused his wifa the money for an
Easter hnt, and she had borno the dis
appointment with becoming meekness.
She did not know the reason for the
refusal, but he did, and that was the
trouble. Ho wanted to Join another
club.
Mrs. Avery surmised that his con
science was uneasy and took heart
She hoped that he would come around.
fill : .
xuere were sun jour aays to spare,
and even If he did not come around
until after Enster she could bear It If
only the one hat she wanted had not
been sold in tlie Interval. It was
hat worth waiting for. and It matched
her new spring suit to perfection.
Nothing else would do. The hats
that year were monstrosities. Mrs.
Avery was a woman of excellent taste
and knew what she wanted. She also
knew that her husband was very much
In Jove with her. Surely be would
come around 1
He did not come entirely around that
day, however. He went so far as to
telephone to his friend in the new
club, asking blm not to propose bis
name Just yet There was a little un
certainty. He would let him know In
a day or two. The next day at lunch
time he went uptown and flattened bis
nose figuratively against one of the
show windows at Mercer '& Mllner'a.
He couldn't remember the price she
bad mentioned. Was it f 15 or f 20? Ab
surd, of course, but not extravagantly
high, as bats go. He would Just go In
and price them.
It must be blue, because she said It
matched her suit, and I know that's
bine," he said helplessly to the sales
woman.
"Blue? Oh, we have a model hat li
blue," said that astute young person,

glass cases which were dazzling the
bewildered eyes of Mr. Avery.
"This Is a Parisian hat," she said,
with a grand manner that disarmed
criticism. "And a wonderful bargain,

"I'm sure this is the right thing,"
he said, with Increased confidence.
"I think I remember a lady of that
description admiring this hat and say
ing ,be might come back and buy it
if her husband was willing."
That didnt sound like Edith, bnt It
furnished a clew, and Mr. Arthur

"Very wclL" said Mrs. Glenn reslgn-
eaiy. x suppose I'll have to see you
inrougn."
Suddenly Edith dropped Into a chair,
witn a tragic gesture.
1 can t, Laura I" she exclaimed. "I
can't change Arthur's choice! He will
be wounded. He'll think I don't love
him."
"My dear, don't be any more foolish
than you absolutely have to be. Men
are not like that only women. Arthur
won't care a button if only you're
pleased."
"Xou don't know Arthur."
"I know men, and I don't mind say
ing that I'm older than you, for yon
Know it already. Xou can trust me."
"And you think be won't be hurt?"
"I know he won't"
"But I'm not Burel"
"Oh, well, wear the hat, then. It's
the only alternative."
Edith shuddered.
"Unless," pursued Mrs. Glenn, "you
can make him think they sent the oth
er by mistake."
"What, deceive him? How can I?
And yet better deceive him than hurt
him. How can I tell him I despised
his choice?"
"Oh, come along, Edith; there's no
time to waste. Telephone for a cab."
In due course of time Edith was re
lieving her feelings by reproaching the
bead saleswoman In the millinery de
partment at Mercer & Mllner's for
having persuaded Mr. Avery to buy
such a bat. The girl looked abashed.
Sbe had not believed that the gentle
man wanted It for any one like Edith.
But she sulkily persisted that It was
a Parisian model!
"It's a Parisian horrorl" cried Edith.
The head of the department was
called, and, with a man's susceptibility
to a pretty woman's distress and upon
Mrs. Glenn's testimony that Mrs. Av
ery had not ever tried it on, be con
sented to effect the change, provided
that the difference In price was not re
funded by the firm. Edith accepted
the condition and Joyously carried off
her first choice.
"Thank goodness that's over!" cried
Laura as they dismissed the cab and
guiltily brought In the box.
"It's over, but I've deceived him,
and I'm miserable," bewailed Edith.
"Tell him all about It, then!"
"Never! I must suffer In silencer
That night upon Arthur's return
Edith flung her arms about him and
with her face burled In bis coot collar,
thanked him almost tearfully for the
loveliest bat she bad ever bad.
"The very one I chose V she gasped.
"Good! Lef s see it on."
With trembling hands she drew from
the box a hat of moderate proportions
and graceful arrangement a very
symphony In blue and white and set
it upon her golden locks. The effect
was magical.
"But but" stammered Arthur, "ifs
not the one I bought I"
Edith turned ber back and busied
herself with the hatpins.
"N-not tbo one yon bought?" she
faltered.
"No; that was much larger and more
expensive, I'm euro. This wont do at
all! They've sent the wrong one, and
they must give me the other or refund
the money. It was much handsomer!"
Oh, Arthur, I want this one! I must
keep it! Ton eoe yourself

"Very wen, but tbey must refund tne
difference. Stupid fools! It's lucky

"This is ideal," said Edith, but ber
voleo trembled.
"I must get the f 10 out of my sav

what a tangle of deceit! He'll find it
all out and never love me agamr

to find her sitting In an armchair

She looked up pltcously, but Arthur
did not smile. He set his teeth bard,

"Edith," he said, "what is tbe mean

Servant Olris In Defoe's Dsy.
It Is evident from the comment be
low, found in "Gleanings After Time,'
that there Is nothing new to be said
on the servant question:
Dofoe, castigating the extravagances
of his time, fell foul of tbe downward
spread of fashion. His theme was a
familiar ono the hclnousneaa of a
servant girl's attempt to imitate ber
mistress' costume.
"Her neat leathern shoes," Defoe's
amusing indictment runs, "are now
transformed into laced ones with high
heels, ber yarn stockings are turned
into tbe woolen ones with silk clocks,
and her high wooden pattens are kick
ed away for leathern clogs. She must
have a hoop, too, us well as ber mis
tress, and her poor llnsey woolsey pet
ticoat ia changed into a good eilk one,

Vivisecting Thieves.
Breaking Into bouses where funerals
have Just taken place and plundering
them is spoken of by tbe Berliner
Tageblatt as a trick of the thlovee of
that city. While this may be a new
form of criminality in Berlin, aays the
writer. It is really only an imitation of
an incident described by Dion Caseins
as having token place 2,000 years be
fore Christ The historian says that
when the consort of tbe emperor was
laid away in the mausoleum at
Memphis a band Ot Greek marauders
entered tbe deserted palace of tbe
pharaoh and took all the precious
tones and metals end the women
laves and reached tbe banks of the
Red sea with tbetr plunder. Only two
of the band were captured, and they
were turned over by tbe ruler to the
Wise men, by whom tbey were vivi
sected in tbo Interest of science. No

Income Tax Now Up the States.
Washington Dispatch, Uth.
It is now up to the Legislatures
of the several States to say wheth
er there shall be an income tax
amendment to the constitution.
By the decisive vote of 317 to
14, more than the necessary two-
thirds, the House today passed
the Senate Joint resolution pro
viding for the submission of the
question to the States. The nega
tive votes were all cast by Repub
licans. No amendment having
been made to the resolution, it
now goes to the President for his
signature.
Practically four hours were con
snmed in debating the proposi
tion, ana this afforded many
members, mostly on the Democra
tic side, an opportunity to air
their views. Chairman Payne, of
the committee on ways and means,
voiced the sentiment that such a
tax would make a "nation of
liars," although he said it was well
that such power should be given
Congress, especially in times of
war.
The burden of the Democratic
speeches was that it was simply a
case of stealing Democratic thun
der, although some of the remarks
on that aide incidentally touched
upon the tariff and the corpora
tion tax with no little amount of
castigation of the Republicans for
failing, as was alleged, to keep
party pledges.
Wholesale Arrests for Retailing at
North Wnkesboro.
StatesvUIe Landmark.
There was much excitement at
North Wilkesboro 'last week as
the result of the arrest of about
14 persons for retailing. The
cases were worked up by H. R.
Thompson, a detective of Iligh
Point, who was employed by the
anti-saloon league, and the trials
were held Wednesday and Thurs
day. N. S. Forester, J. A. Wood
and others were bound to court
after the defendants' attorneys
bad unsuccessfully fought for dis
missal of the cases on the ground
of lack of jurisdiction, etc., and
other cases are yet to be tried.
Some of the defendants are of
some prominence in the commun
ito and the trials are more or less
sensational. The defence alleged
that the detective was not a legal
officer and asked that he be dis
armed. After the trial he was
arrested on the charge of carry
ing concealed weapons and was
bound to court. "Nl-beer" figure
ed to a considerable extent in the
evidence at the trial.
Early Not A Leper.
John R. Early, the North Caro
linian who beeame ill in Washing
ton nearly a year ago and whose
case was diagnosed as leprosy, is
declared not to be a leper by Dr.
Bulkeley, of the New York Skin
and Caneer hospital, where Early
waa taken for treatment a week
ago. Dr. Bulkeley says that after
careful examination not the
slightest trace of the baocilua of
leprosy was found. But as a pre
caution, he said, Early will pro
bably be kept at the Hospital for
a week or more, so that the diag-
nosis may be confirmed by other
dermatologists. The doctor says
Early's trouble was a simple in
flammation of the skin caused by
alkali used in the pulp mill where
be formally worked in North Car-
alina.
Early was kept in isolation at
Washington for nearly a year un
der the supposition that he had
leprosy and eminent physicians,
including an expert from Copen
hagen, confirmed the diagnoia of
the Washington physicians.
