A KNIGHT OF
ST. VALENTINE.
T waa to be a val
entine party. That
was what the girls
decided after talk
ing it all over half
doten times,
viewing all the
schemes suggested
from every possi
ble right and re
jecting all except
the one Mabel
Hurvine had
made, that it
should be a Valen
tin party. Margaret had said she waa
dying for a aleighride, not juat a poky
id ride in a cutter big enough for two,
hut a good old-fashioned big straw ride,
with lota of buffalo robes and all the girla
and all the fellows in the crowd. But the
aieighride was outvoted by those who
feared the chill winds would make their
a one a red and blow their hair about un
til they would not appear to advantage
ha the eyes of those for whose benefit the
hair was curled and the noses discreetly
teuehed up at times.
Hlnda could ace nothing but a mnsicale.
Bocae of the boy a could play guitars and
mandolins and the piano, she insisted, and
everybody thought he could sing and that
wwuM make It nice. She even volunteer
ed to arrange the program of mandolin
aausse and get copies of the "rag time1
eea melodies to help out those whose
knowledge of the fascinating jingles was
sea fined to enthusiastic hursts in the
ahoros. But the mnsicale idea bad fo
frieads. It waa too much trouble and the
air la who could not play mandolin
pose prettily with guitars hung from their
smoulders on pale blue ribbons con Id not
aee where they would come in except in
the chorus, and they each wanted to star,
aa tka mnsicale was not a go.
Marjie thought it would be lovely to just
Met at somebody's bouse and not have
any old set program, but let things take
their own course and sin; and dance and
talk and perhaps eat after awhile. But
eooaebody suggested this might get poky
la a short time, and when Mabel Hurvine
eaaae to the rescue with the valentine par
ty suggestion it waa pounced upon with
delight and she was voted a wonder at
concocting schemes to help distresaed
maidens out of difficulties.
"But what do you do at a valentine par
yf asked Aileen. "I never went to one
ainc the days when we used to have a
valentine box in school and the boys nsed
ta aend the teacher horrible caricatures
aad some ot the boys used to send some
as tka girls pretty little card "
Oh. well,.Berer miud telling us about
yaajr childhood days," said Ksthryn. "We
wait to hear about this party we are go
hag ta hare. Mabel is sponsor for it and
aha will have to tell about it."
"Why, it's the eaaiest thing In the
world." aald Miss Hurvine, who waa
assail and dark and whose eyes twinkled
hihtad pi nee nes glasses. "All you have
ta am la ta lavlte a crowd of fellows and
gWM who know each other pretty well."
"That is easy for a aUrter," said Mar
jha. "for, positively, I don't ibink any
ervwd of girla knows as many boys aa we
l for yourself, please." said Aileen
with a loan of bar bead, but before th
eaatrovsrsy progre d farther Mabel
wast oa with her explanation the plan
af oa trapping aawary young men on St
Yale tine's evening.
"Writ, yoa get the crowd together at
aamswbady's house anal then yoa bar a
aaBda brother or somebody, a sister if
yar ahostt half ant of brothers, dressed
atoacwnM."
"I baa h will h mora thoroughly

"Not for a 1111111110," sai.l Malwl decid
edly. "I tin ih you gil l" wouldn't lie

He has a cute little sierni tilled with
pii-rt-H of white pr cut iu heart sliles
Mud to each one is attached a pencil."
"Ho we can write home for money." cut
. in Marjie.
Miss Hurvine silenced her with a look
of dihdain and went on:
"He goes around the room with the
wagon and each one takes one of the lit
tle hearts and pencils, and then they are
called upon to write a verse or a valentine
to someone in the party. When they all
get through the eupid goes around again
"And collects the garbage," said Kath
ryn. who had remained a silent listener
up to this point.
"Let her tell it," said Aileen, "it's a
food story. She's ail right Let her
tell it."
"1 won't tell you girls another thing and
I won't have anything to do with the par
ty if you don't behave yourselves, now."
said Mabel. "Well, the verses are all j
piled up on a table and somebody read
them out to the crowd, and everyone has
a chance to gucsa who wrote each one and
to whom it waa written. Of course if the
verses sort of describe some peculiarity
of the person addressed it would help
some."
"Oh, that would be lovely," said Aileen;
"I can see my finish when they get at my
peculiarities. If anybody writes anything
mean about me I won't play."
And so it waa decided that it should be
a Valentine party and that everybody
should come and that the boys should not
know anything about the scheme until
they had reached the bouse, lest they
might come 'loaded" with versos culled
from handy volumes of quotations.
Mabel Hurvine's home was ablaze with
lights on tbe night of 8t. Valentine's day.
The parlor waa hnng with smilax and
ferns, and from the chandelier dangled a
mighty heart pierced by a cruel arrow.
Everything was ready for the Valentine
party, and half the guests bad arrived.
Marjie was gayly singing "I Don't Care
if Yon Never Come Back," while a solemn
youag man played rag time on the piano.
Half a dosen other girls were sweetly tell
ing fibs to aa many young men who hung
over their chain or aat beside them and
seemed to be drinking It all In. The little
eupid, proud of bis importance, and Im
mensely concerned over the success of bis
gauae wings, waa waiting in an Inner room
for his part in tbe game, when Lottie
Meredith tripped gayly un the steps and
kissed Mabel Hurvine. who met her in the
ball.
"Wait a minute before you go in," whis
pered Mabel. "Tom la here."
All the dancing light died out of Lottie
Meredith's eyes in an instant. Her cheeks
turned deathly whit a moment, and then
lashed red aa peonies.
'Tom T" she gasped. "Tom? Ton don't
mean Tom Prince T"
Mabel shook ber head solemnly in af
firmation aad took both Lottie's handa in
hers.
"Tea, he cam about twenty minntes
ago. I waa aa much thunderstruck aa
you."
"But, Mabel," whispered Lottie, drag
ging Mias Hurvine into a bed room, where
they could not be overheard, "where did
be come from? What on earth is he doing
here? Oh. tell me what to do, dear. I
can't face kim before all this crowd."
"I don't know anything about It, Lot
tie," said Mabel alowly, "except be said
be got to town to-day, and one of the boys
told him there waa a party here and all
tbe old crowd would be here to-night, and
he said he made bold enough to come up.
Of course I told him I was glad to see
him. What else could I dor
From tbe parlor came the gay tinkle of
the piano and a full, deep voice was King
ing "O Promise Me." The chatter of
many tongues and light laughter floated
oa the air with the singer's voice and came
to the two solemn girla huddled there in
the bedroom.
"That's him singing." whispered Lot
tie. "I'd know his voice anywhere and
that was his song always, you know."
For a few minutes they stood there si
lently listening to tbe jollity in the par
lors. Their hearts beat so loudly that they
heard th quickened pulaatioua aa they
stood in tbe darkness with clasped handa.
Then Miss Hurvine said:
"I must go back, dear. They will miss
me. Stay here until yoa are feeling bet
ter, and then go right out aa if yon did
not know be waa here." And then ah
slipped oat and joined the merry crowd In
the parlor. .
Five minutes later Lottie Meredith
walked oat of the room with ber head
erect and a forced smile npon her lipa.
Carelessly ah strolled Into tbe room
where the piano was sounding and let her
eye rest for only an Instant upon the fig
ure of Tom Prince, tall aad handsome aa
ever, leaning over Katkryn. who waa try
ing an accompaniment to a song under
bis direction. He looked np and tbelr eye

Margaret. Prince bid not changed coon
! uxni-e h n be looked iih,u Iottie. It
wa not the gsie f a Mrmcrr nor waa
there a smile of rotitriiition iu it. To an
obsorrer it would e-m almost Uk? the
curious look of a diuu who thought be
recognized a t&'tt and was striving to re
call it to memory.
"Now, all you people quit singing sod
talking and we'll see what eupid has
brought or," said Mabel Hurvine briakly.
Tom Prince stooped over Kathryn at
the piano and said, loud enough for Lot
tie Meredith to hear:
"I trust he will bring nie something
more acceptable than the Dead sea fruit
with which in the past be has flaunted
me."
Kathryn looked op and smiled brightly.
Tfcc words fell meaningless upon her t ars,
but Lottie hesrd and knew.
The door of the parlor was thrown opca
and eupid walked in with bis freight of
white hearts and tiny pencils and with
gay badinage the plan of writing the Tal
ent im-s was explained by Mabel. A si
lence followed for a few minutes, brows
were knitted in deep thought and the
merry revelers strove to make rhymes and
iuvent clever lines to carry on the enter-
tainment. There were sly looks and side
remarks from those who wished to let the
objects of their devotion know that they
inspired tke muse. There waa laughing
protest from the girls that some of the
boys were "peeking" to see what was be
ing written. And at last Miss Hnrvin
said time was up, eupid made his rounds
again and the white papers fluttered Into
the little wagon, each bearing ifa tender
or humoroua mesage. Quickly they were
heaped upon the table and the boys and
girls settled into their seats, when Barnes
was called upon to read them.
"Here's one that ought to get at least
second money," said Barnes, picking up
a heart at random and reading:
sly valentine, with storm and shine,
Is like a changeful April morning;
"lis strsnge, hot still I never will
Be found her frown or suuablne scorning.
"Are they sll ss bad as that?" queried
Marjie fro mher perch on tbe arm of a
big easy chsir, where she sst leaaing
against Margaret.
"Wait till I read some more." said
Barnes. "That one was juat picked up
at random."
"But who is it forr asked Aileen.
"You csn have it if you want it," said
Kathryn, "I don't see anyone breaking
any records trying to beat you to it."
Barnes had selected another heart from
the pile before him and his face sobered
a trifle as he glanced through tbe vera
before reading it. Then he said:
"Hold on. This one is all right I
gus It's on the square, too."
O foolish heart that quakes with fear
And strives to burst with ago ay
for sundered ties, obi ees!aay!
Be brave, be patient; she Is near.
Throb not so dolefully sad slew,
O heart of mine, so long bowed dawa,
ho longer may you wear the crews
Of t bursa fsr days of long agw.
At mat thy penitence Is o'er;
At last thy heritage Is wea,
O bear! thy sorrowing la daae
Aad joy la thins forcvermere.
For a moment there waa sileaes whaa
Barnes had concluded tbe verse. The
smiles had faded from the lips of every
one iu the room and glances of aurpriaa
were turned from one to another. Tom
Prince stood with bis arm resting upoa
the piano and his head in hit hand, look
ing steadfastly at Lottie Meredith. Aad
she knew. She did not dare look serosa
the room at th steady blue eyes which
she knew were fixed upon her. She would
not trust herself to return that (axe. for
her heart was besting msdly, although
ber face was pale. j
"Well, we'll all have ta give that oaa
up," said Marjie. "Anyone who bad that
written at ner ongnt to be picking out taa
bridesmaids."
Tbe laugh relieved the strained situa
tion and Barnes caught up a jocular versa '
and rattled it off glibly. There waa soma
light comment from somebody aad Lottie j
slipped out into tbe hallway. She waa not
missed and no one noticed when Tom
Prince stepped leisurely to the door of tb
parlor and followed. He found her there,
with wide, frightened eyes which would
dar to look at kim now tkat they war
alone.
"Ix-ttle." be aaid aimply.
"Oh. Tom." ahe whispered, her eyes fill
ing with tears, "did yoa mean It? Did
you really mean it 7"
"Will you try me once more, dear, aad
seer he asked.
And aa she slipped into bis arms with a ;
happy little sigh tbe pisno sounded one (
more from the parlor, the laughter and
the chatter of voices arose and floated by
them unheeded on tb night air.

New York correspondence:
T is quite the fancy
to have a gown of
broadcloth, ladies'
cloth, or some well
cbusen novelty. Bod
ice and skirt are to
match, but not in
suck a way tkat
they may not be
worn with other
skirta and bodice.
Tbe gown in this in
itial picture matched
in ita two parta, but
tbe skirt wss made
with a view to its
uae with other bod
ices. Hosts of fine
new gowns are plan
ned along similar
lines.
While this trick
of economy can be
easily mauaged with sufficient adroitness
to disguise it, it should be remembered
that many women are up to tbe same
game, so will be quick to discover it in
soother woman's gown. 8o it is cape-.
cially desirable to employ some material
that is superior to critic imu either be
es use of fine quality or newness. A good
one to choose was that in which tbe art
ist found thia dresa. It was a new corded
cloth intended for use with cloth of plain
surface to match. In Ibis costume the
bodice waa entirely of the corded stuff,
the skirt plsin except for trimming of
bands of the corded nisterial. The color
of the dress wss a rich red, which is ao
much worn thia winter by women of all
coniplexioue. Such a skirt of red cloth Is
j esteemed an entirely correct part of a
dresay costume when worn with a fancy
waiat of ailk, aatin or cloth elaborated
with fancy yoke, and it was very attrac
tive with its own bodice, so a ileal can be
accomplished by imitating such planning.
Tke fancy bodice atill lives fashionably.
CLOTH SUITS THAT WEBB
but when those of th current style are
compared with thoae women wore a few
seasons ago, one must admit that th gar
ment's fancifulneae baa greatly diminish
ed. Tbe blouae open over a front re
mains a popular design, and a charming
example of this is in the next picture. It
j was yellow corded taffeta, tbe revers
. turning bsck from tbe front with facing
of white satin, ihe front was a pretty
bit of white net with applied figure of
yellow aatin, all laid over white satin,
finch a bodice may be worn with a black
broadcloth skirt of fashionable design, or
Ihe skirt msy lie of cloth to match the
taffeta, th resulting costume being a
charming complete dress for reception or
home wear. The very simple collar, just
folded satin to match tbe taffeta, could
be varied prettily by a collar and aash
to match the turquoise velvet.
Though the round waiat and blouae
front bodice of tbe kind just described
seems likely to remain in favor a long
time yet and certainly la not a bit out of
fnahion now, the little jacket bodice Is
newer. Beautiful ones are made of fig-

and pink mode a very dainty touch, which
some women would inaiat calls for a dain

delight in hats, and the oue with this cos

An Inquiry baa been made as to a

In water. All drinking water should be
tested In town or country frequently,
as there are other Impurities besides
wage which are quite as deadly, and
every cistern of wster la liable to be a
source of blood poisoning mice, rats
and other pests must bare water, and
many a case of typhoid Is set up by
such aa these falling Into tbe clatern
and remaining tbere for months In a
decomposed state. To detect this Im
pure condition Is very simple and un
failing. Draw a tumbler of water from
the Up or pump at night put a ptec of
whit lump augar In It and puce It oa
tb kitchen mantel shelf or anywhere
that the temperature will not be under
AS degrees Fahrenheit In the morn
ing, the water. If pure, will be perfectly
dear; If contaminated by sewage or
other Impurities the water will b
milky. Thia Is a simple and safe best
