Dress has grown luxurious and elab
orate to the limits of perplexity, yet
there is a liberty of choice, a scope for
partk'umr taste and feeling, that saves
the Individual from bewilderment. One
may cull novelties while recognizing
certain fundamental rules regulating
the modes of the moment.
Evening fashions Illustrate well the
richness of the modes. Very dlstin-

pearls and white chenllte. Deep point

straps, and a spray of white camellias,
with their glossy green leaves, rests on
the left side of the decolletnge. An
opera wrap of white chiffon, lined with
ermine and tied with chiffon scarfs,
Is thrown over the shoulders.
Soft cream silk veiled with hand

lace and star covers a shaped bertha

Boleros of lace, cut In broad tabs at

well to the figure, nnd so they do when
they are made of handsome jet, soft

in AH evening dresses there is a dis

A PRICELESS LOYE
Original.
What pitfalls beset the youngl All
my life I have suffered from yielding
In my youth to a simple natural inc):
nation or, rather, yielding just enoui
to make my action a crime.
Wlu'U I was eighteen, my mother
took into her service a HUlo maid froc.
the country. She wore her dresses to
the tops of her boots, her hair In a sin
gle braid down her back. It was ver.v
light, and her eyes were a pale blue
She was such a demure little thing and
seemed so lonely sitting by herself In
her room all the long evening for she
did not appear to relish the society or
the other servants that I always spoke
to her kindly when I wished her to do
anything for me, usually softening my
request with a smile. I guve her book
to read, such books as I thought would
interest a simple young girl. She al
ways read them and returned them to
me without any comment In words,
but with such a look I understood Just
what it meant.
One day she came Into the library to
do some dusting. 1 was seated in the
great leather covered chair by the win
dow reading. I was to leave for col
lege the uext day. She was going about
with her feather duster, giving light
touches here and there, but listlessly.
as if absorbed by something else. Pres
ently 1 wild to her:
"You seem distrait this morning
Janet. What is the matter?"
Perhaps she did not know what "dis
trait" meant. At any rate, she did not
reply, but turned to dust a bronze
statuette, so that ber back was toward
me.
"Come, little girL tell me If anything
troubles you."
Still she gave me no answer. I got
up from my chair and went to- ber to
discover the cause of her silence by
looking into her face. She must have
beard me come up behind her. but she
kept on with her work. I put a haud
on each arm and turned ber around.
II er eyes were filled with tears.
Toor child.- I said.
I bent and kissed her Innocent youn;,'
Hps. Somehow I knew that her tears
were for my departure on the mor
row. Then it occurred to me that there
was something in all this that could
only lead to trouble aud, releasing ber.
without a word I left the library.
When I returned a year later, I found
Janet a little taller, her dresses length
ened to the floor, her faair in a knot at
the back of her bead. The year bad
brought experience to me, and 1 knew
better than before that I bad trespass
ed on forbidden ground. I greeted her
kindly, but innde It plain by my tone
and manner that there was a sjcia!
gulf between us, watching her to see
if the change affected her. I could not
see that it did and felt a sense of re
lief. . f
I continued to return at vacation
time, once a year, noting Janet's
growth from the child she had come
to us to a willowy woman of nineteen.
While she grew tall, she did not grow
robust. Her cheek was pale, and her
step was languid. On my return aft
er being graduated I noticed this es
pecially and spoke to my mother about
it but received no satisfaction as to
the cause.
I went abroad to finish my studies,
and while I was away my mother died.
I wrote directions to close the home
stead, leaving everything as It was till
I came. It was not for two years more
that 1 went back to the old place with
a view to putting it in the market for
sale. My mother bad had an elderly
woman hi her service who was with
her when she died, and to her I went
to' gain what satisfaction I could in
talking to her about the last days they
bad passed together. I asked her to
go with me to the little cemetery near
by and show me the grave. She did
so, and I was much pleased with the
care that had been given to my moth
er's resting place.
f What Is that mound up in the cor
ner?" I asked. j
"That is Janet's grave,"
"Janet's V '
- "Yes. She died soon after your moth
er. When the house was closed, I took
her with me. She had been long fall
ing and lived only a short time, though
long enough to do all this work, of
which you see the result. 'We must
jnake haste.' she would say. 'He may
come home at any time, and think bow
he would feel to find his dear mother's
grave neglected? "
"Janet dcadr'
"She would come here every morn
ing, weeding and spading when she
was so weak that I could not. see how
be was able even to walk here. One
day when she did not 'return at the ac
customed time I came and saw her sit
ting on Jhat bench. 1 spoke to ber, and
he did riot answer. She was dead.?
, 1 was looking at the little mound de
void of adornment This girl bad spent
two years of labor, her life slowly go
ing ont the while, that when I return
ed I might not find my mother's grave
neglected. :". During this period I had
never thought once of one so devoted.
"Of what disease did she dief V I
asked after some time. ' ; f
"I discovered that accidentally. Sbe
guarded her secret carefully and 1 aui
sure would net give me permission to
tell you. But I would like you to
know. . Janet died of a hopeles love
for you." . ' - . ' ,
I stood without motion for a long
time, I was far away in the library
where I hti kissed ber. - t , -
For many years I have visited those
two graves every summer. In vain
have I resolved, to marry and build a
home. Kone of tbe women in my so
'.il circle fces ever given me that pure
a-ectlon wUch I received from Janet,
wtose whole toul was mine, ThoojU
I am now ea oM can, I am a bachelor.

Preparlaar Date.
Tbe preparation of dried dates U car
ried on largely at Awabl, and as the
seaNon had now commenced I took the
opiwrtunlty to observe the process and
was taken round the factoriea by tbe
stuik. Tbe dates selected are picked
before they are quite ripe. The fac
tory bad a chimney about fifteen feet
hlKb and , contained several open, cir
cular, copper boilers, capable of hold
Ing five gallons each and nearly full of
water. Into these vessels tbe dates are
put and allowed to simmer over a alow
tire. As the water In the copper de
creased from evaporation it was filled
up again, but it gradually became
Inspissated by the extraction of the
juice of tbe date. Tbe fruit la left In
the water about half an hour and is
then taken out and spread on mats or
cloths In tbe sun to dry, after which it
becomes hard and of a pale red color.

A Survival of the Primitive.
A Philadelphia philosopher thus ex
plains the general preference for a wall
table in a restaurant: "Primitive man
ate in peril. The cave bear, the saber
tooth tiger, even some warrior of his
own kind, was apt at any moment to
leap upon bim and to devour his food
and perhaps himself. Therefore he
took his meals with his back against a
cliff or In the corner of two adjoining
cliffs. If possible, and with tbe open
country before him. That, you see,
was the safest way for bim to eat Ho
could not then be surprised.
"And we still have in us that memory
of tbe primitive man. aud we still un
consciously, when we sit down to our
repasts, choose places that give us a
wall for our protection. That and not
a desire to see things is what causes us
to pick out walls and corners. You can
see as well from tbe middle of a room
or from any other place, you know."
ire! Bftil
When that cry sounds how people
rush to help and sympathize I And
when some fireman rescues a woman
from the names, the
streets echo with ap-
S7h, And vet if that
woman had perished
t .n a 3t
in the flames it is pos
sible that she would
have suffered less
than she suffers al
most daily from the
inuammation which
