up for full summer gowns. It is not,

what is thoiittest for tho season. Any

expensive to en
tirely throw

a novel manner
of ll.xing such a
gown a day or so
ago in a llrst
class establish
ment too. Tho
skirt was split
down the Miles
and panels let in
liko the picture
herewith. This
is to enlarge the
skirt to three
yards Around.
Tho material was

russet green bil
Hard cloth, and tho inserts wore of bro
cade velvet on satin, black and chau
drou, or copper color. Around tho bot
tom wore two bias bands of chaudron
plain velvet headed and footed with a
('uuung 01 green ciotn. Tlio corsage
was quite pinlti in tlio hack, with only a
little rounding in tho middle, and the
front was as is seen. Tho lower part of
the sleeves were of green cloth and tho
tipper of brocade. Altogether it makes
a very handsome out or indoor gown.
I saw .another dainty dress just tin
ished in tho same establishment Tho
front and train were of changeablo taf
feta silk in green and crimson, with
sides, waists and sleeves of gray printed
silk. The flowers were pale pink, with
tho green leaves faint and shaded. This
dress was copied in China silk and in lilac
veiling, with tho sides of both in tho
Spanish allover laco pattern of tho now
wide lace. Tho design is ono that would
alt.o bo pretty in challio or chainbray
with embroidery for sides.
Among tho goods most in demand just
now by tho crowds of women who aro
laying in their new material for Lenten
work aro tho gypsy and other uiting
clotlis. Gypsy cloth is a sort of striped
cotton, with, a light fluff, liko flannel,
lett on tho surface. The stripes aro del
icate, seldom in high colors, and tho
ground is white, cream or pearl gray.
Tho skirts will bo plain, gathered at tho
waist, and with littlo or no trimming at
tho bottom; sometimes a small cluster
of tucks, to make them set out well.
Thero will not bo ninny blouses, but in
stead neat French or Spencer waists,
with wide leather belts in tans mid
browns. No sashes or cords. Many of
them have white vest plastrons, but un
less very carefully fastened these will
bo somewhat in the way during tennis
or other active movement. This gypsy
cloth is cheap, and wushes much better
than the flannels, and wilbnot fade.

The well I'roservsd old man leaned lwck

"No matter what calling or profession

your standing In your class was fully up to

"And you took your part. In tho regular
college athletics, I presume'"
"I didn't waste anytlnio on baseball or
rowing, but I was no slouch with the
gloves."
"I have never hail any complaints fioia

was generally satisfactory. Absorbed In
business as I have been, I could not exer
cise that personal supervision over you tliat
a watchful father should have done, per

of early training. And I have been gener

"Oh, yes."
"And now, my lsy, what aro your plans
fertile future Have you formed any"
"Well, I have thought I should like to
travel In Europu a year or two."
"M'iiiI That's pretty expensive, Hiram."
The young man put his hands In his
pockets and strode back and forth Impa
tiently.
"They all do it." he said, with a cloud
on his brow. "A fellow's education Isn't
finished until hu's traveled ami seen tho
world."
"How much will Itcostto give you tht
trip you want"
"About fcJ.MX)."
"H'inl That would make I0,000"
The old man pondered in silence a fevr
moments.
"It's a pretty large sum to spend on u
boy's education, Hiram," he said, "yet It
may ho tlmt you are right. I had to do
without. n European tour until I had made
the motley myself, and I got along com
fortably on oOO, hut the world Isn't ex
actly what It was In my young days.

Not long ago the Paris newspapers rt

were published as felillletins at the foot of

The badness, from a literary point of view,
of his stories was well known to Stapleaux
himself, who took jokes on the subject
good imturcdly.
A newspaper oneo engaged him to writo
n serial as a fculllctoh. It ran dally, until
the subscribers began to stop their papers
hi large numbers, when one day the pro
prietor of the Journal ciinio to tho author
of the unpopular romance.
"lK)k hero!" ho exclaimed. "Your
siory has been running six months and
bids fair to last forever. Tho subscribers
are in rebellion."
"Well?" said Stapleaux Innocently.
"Well! I will give you Just three days to
wind the thing up!"
"IniM)sslhh,! Just think of it. Tim
countess is at Clermont, Jean Duroc U
away off In Martinique, Cherbaty, the spy,
is on me Kiiiii or iM'ing arrested, now In

wind up In three chapters"
"I don't know," said the publisher, "but
I give you warning that I shall cut you oir
short in three daysl"
He went away. At the end of the third
Installment thereafter the publisher was
pleased to see the words "The end," writ
ten In a trembling hand. He sent thulium
lier to press Joyfully, without reading It,
ami when the paper came out was aston
ished to see that the last paragraph read
as follows:

A TRUE STORY OF
- 0 -
1
T was towanU,the close of n bright summer's day that the prodigal sou arrived
at the paternal mansion. He bail come by the quickest route, "The Hurling
ton." The sun was declining In the west- the only thing that does decline
west of Chle.igo except base hall and Its slanting rays threw n golden tint
upon the giay hairs of the aged father who sat on the front porch rending the
Inst "Hurllngton Route" advertisement.
The gate opened, and the old man peering over Ids spectacles dlscrlcd n
n ragged tramp coming up the walk. He was about to set the dog on him, In
accordance with the usual custom of that hospitable region, when the tramp
can c up, removed n dilapidated hat rim which encircled his brow, nnd cried,
''father, don't on know me?" "Know you?" returned the old man, after
scrutinizing him u moment over his spectacles, "I would know you If I saw
our hide hanging In a tun ynrd, It's my own lost li-hoyl" Then the fond
parent fell upon Ids son's neck and wept wept hscausclt was so dirty, It hadn't
been washed since Christmas, but he took him in nil the same, gave him n
bath and a new suit of clothes nnd then walked him down to the 11. & M.
depot to sec to what peifectlon the "Hurllngton" hud brought their passenger
train service. 'Twos marvelous, and the prodigal nm stralglitw ay registered a
solum vow that his children and his children's children for all time to come
should recognize the "Hurllngton" as the one great railway whose equipment
was always UP TO 1) TE.
We don't know how this legend of the prodigal sou came down through
the ages so occuiatc and fiec fiom side Issues, hut It's here, intact and unln,
cumbered, ready to ndorn a back cover or point a moinl. The moral of this,
story Is: If you would prosper In this world, travel only by the "Hurilngton.
