They met frequently, for Mrs. Brewelowe was the gr&clous mistress of a beautiful Euclid avenue home, while just around the corner, upon a short and unpreten tious side street, stood .the smaller house rented by Professor and Mrs. Wentworth. Years ago they had been girls to gether in the little village of MayvlUe, when she of the stately mansion had been only Maria Duzenbury. daughter of the most shiftless man In the vil lage. In those days Mrs. . Wentworth had lived on no side street, but in the state ly white pillared mansion which crowned the highest hill In Mayvllle and which was pointed to with pride as tne borne of Judge Titus. Fate plays strange tricks! After the death of the Judge, when the lawyers were quite through, somehow there was lit tle or nothing left for the daughter, al though one of the lawyers took his en tire family abroad within the year and the other built himself a new house. The trouble began at the Culture club. Mrs. Wentworth had felt sure she had detected a most peculiar smile upon Mrs. Drewelowe's face at the precise moment when she stood up to read her paper on "Egyptian Archi tecture." Then, later In the afternoon. Mrs. Roberts, also of Euclid avenue, had leaned over and said laughingly: Mrs. ' Wentworth, Mrs. Drewelowe says she doesn't believe you ever wrote that paper. It was so good she thinks your husband must have written It." Any clubwoman knows this Is a most grievous Insult. Mrs. Wentworth gave charming little teas In a modest, side street fashion, and the bitterness rankled In her heart to such an extent that she left Mrs. Drewelowe off her list the next week. Then there was an elaborate social function at the Euclid avenue man sion, and Mrs. Wentworth did not re ceive cards. But the climax was reserved for Eas ter morning in the vestibule of the Eu clid avenue church. Mrs. Drewelowe and Mrs. Wentworth met. and, remembering the sacred threshold, bowed less coldly than usual, then gasped and stood trans fixed. Taking In every flower and knot of lace, they realized that their beautiful new Easter bonnets were ex actly alike. Their husbands, balancing their hats carefully in one hand and with the other holding each a vestibule door, were courteously awaiting them. They had cordially shaken hands, for It 111 became dignified men to notice wo men's small quarrels. Mrs. Drewelowe was first to recover. "A beautiful morning." she said In her sweet, even tones, and a bar of purple and yellow flashed from the window across the violets In her bonnet as she turned and sweyt after her husband. Mrs. Wentworth bowed In . silence, biting her Hps in vexation, and raised a delicately gloved hand up to see If her bonnet, that bad cost her so many economies, was really -upon her head or upon that of rich Maria Drewelowe. She felt that now, as ever since they had lived in the city, Mrs. Drewelowe had the best of her. A little path had opened through the garden of spring millinery across the congregation, and through it she saw Mrs. Drewelowe turn and stare direct ly back at her, 6mlle ln.asuperior way. then whisper something to Mrs. Rob erts In the pew Just behind, whereupon Mrs. Roberts laughed most Immoder ately, considering the time and place." The hot blood rushed to Mrs. Went worth'a face In such, force as to make her quite dizzy. She knew what Mrs. Drewlowe had said as well as though she had heard every word. "Annie Wentworth, never content with running after me. has managed In some way to copy my bonnet, and don't you think, Mrs. Roberts, It Is an outrage?" las! Annie Wentworth. daughter or juuge Titus, to be thus openly flout ed by a Duzenbury! It was bad enough to be reduced to living on a side street, to watching her iti the lead of the most exclusive set in the city, but to be accused of copying ner ciotnes tnat was the last straw. Move! Indeed they'd move the 1st of May! She would resign from the Cul ture club! They would go where she might never meet this regaL qneenly daughter of aimless, shiftless old Du zenbury or her husband, who had made his fortune In kerosene. The minister soared away In mag nificent flights of oratory, but "Mrs. Wentworth's mind constantly returned to the problems of how the bonnets came to be alike and what Mrs. Drewe lowe had whispered to Mrs. Roberts. At last she solved the first question. Mrs. Drewelowe had discovered her treasure. the little milliner who made 1 possible ivr ur, me wire or iToressdr Went worth, to appear for $10 In bonnets which looked as though they had cost $30. the poor little relic of better days who lived In the old tumbledown brick building behind the cathedral and who had a wonderful knack for copying expensive bonnets. To place her old est customer In such a humiliating po sition: jars, wentworth turned cold all over with the remembrance of the whisper. Oh. the letter Rhe would send with the bonnet straight back to that traitress! She was quite hysterical by the ttrne last amen was pronounced anfl hurried the dazed professor home at a ranid Dace. Fatlentlr he listened to the time worn coinplaints-'-the wreck of her father's estate, the bitterness of seeing Maria Drewelowe In her beau tiful home while she must live In an obscure corner. Tenderly he soothed her and bathed her throbbing temples. Years of wed ded life had taught him the futility of argument when his "wife's mind was made up. lie remembered, too, that for love of him she had refused Henry Drewelowe back in the old sunny days at Mayvllle. Unable to be up the next 'morning. nevertheless she managed to indite a bitterly accusing note to the little mil liner and dispatch It with the bonnet by a messenger boy. Several days elapsed, and no answer came. Finally In desperation she gathered - her strength and, boarding a downtown car, was soon - mounting the steps of the .old brick building behind the ca thedral. There was no answer to her first knock, so she rapped again. A faint moan came through the open transom. Then she turned the knob and entered. The room was In disorder; most of the little furniture It had contained had mysterlousry disappeared. Only a bed, a chair and a table remained. Upon the table lay two opened letters, and beside them sat a bonnet box securely tied. Upon the bed laypthe frail figure of the milliner, her face hot with fever. At this sight Mrs. Wentworth's wrath vanished, and she stood by the bedside only a sweet, helpful woman. her heart wruug with pity. There was a rustle ef silk lined gar ments outside in the hall, then an im perious knock, and when Mrs. Went worxn openea tne aoor sne beneid a second Nemesis in the form of Mrs. Drewelowe, "The latter bestowed a curt nod upon Mrs. Wentworth, and that softened and already repentant woman stepped aside and allowed her to advance to the bedside. Mrs. Drewe lowe heard her own name and Mrs. Wentworth's mingled, falling incoher ently rrom me parcnea lips. Arter a moment she turned and faced Mrs. Wentworth. "Annie Wentworth. this is our work. I wrote her a very harsh note Mon day morning, accusing her of copying my new bonnet, "which I bought In New York three weeks ago. She was In the house doing some work, and I felt sure she must have seen it through the treachery of the maids." "And I," sobbed Mrs. Wentworth, "sent back my bonnet Monday morn ing with a scandalous note perfectly scandalous!" Then they sought the landlady and demanded an explanation of her neg lect She surveyed the two ladies with rising anger. - "Sure, ma'ams," she said, ""an I'm a lorn wldder myself with five childer to support, an she's back on her rent three months. It's all along of her havln' to go on to Noo York an' git her bad brother out of Jail,' an' she's 1 , 1 J f A , buiu uer turojiure an ciotnes an gone without fire an enough to eat to make up. Then, on top of that, two women foine ladles in sassiety writ her two of the meanest letters you ever see in your life, an' then she went clean out en her head. They, was alL about a bonnet she see when she was in Noo York an' copied fer one of 'em, an' she said the other one: must havebeen on an' bought the identical bonnet, fer it had Jest come over from Paree, an' nobody'd had a chance at it. "Them letters done it. Mighty mean women, if they are sassiety women, as would let loose an' abuse" . I riere: Tt3a fijrve eiplafned suffi ciently," icily interrupted Mrs. Drewe lowe, her face quite crimson. "We will pay the rent due you and take charge of your roomer at-once.'! And the drew out her purse. i When the little milliner had been safely tucked in the white hospital bed and Mrs. Wentworth jwas seated in the Drewelowe carriage rolling home, she suddenly exclaimed, "Ma ria, what did you say?" j , "When? Vhat do yoa mean?" queried that Astonished lady. "Why, Sunday in churchj when yon leaned back and whispered to Mrs. Roberts?" j : Mrs. Drewelowe was lostj In thought for some time and then said: "Oh, I know. I told her! that, after all her instructions, the night before I bad forgotten to make the mustard plaster for Henry's chest as she v ad vised, and the poor man was blistered so dreadfully that if it hadn't been Ea ster morn in g hie would not have tried to come to church." j It was a fashionable hour, every body was abroad, and the dignified Drewelowe coachman felt quite hu miliated by the peals of merry laugh ter which rippled from the aristocratic j Drewelowe equipage.
