Alicia lent the money more because -he feared ridicule than from any real !• - re to oblige Und< rwood. She had eng since become disgusted with him. Hie man's real character was now jlainly reve&l-d to her. He was an adventurer. little better than a com mon ct#Dk. She congratulated her --1T on her narrow escape. Suppose i>he bad married him—the horror of1 it! Yet the next instant she was filled with consternation. She had allowed him to become so intimate that it w-as difficult to break off with him all at once. She realized that s ith a man of that character the in evitable must come. There would be a disgraceful scandal. She would be mixed up in it. her husband’s eyes rouid be opened to her folly, it might' t ruin her entire life. She must end It now—onc^ for all. She had already given him to understand that their intimacy must cease. Now he must stop his visits to her house and de sist from trapping her friends into his many schemes. She had written him that morning forbidding him to come to the house this evening. She was done with him forever. These thoughts were responsible for the frown on the beautiful Mrs. Jef fries' bejeweled brow that particular Saturday evening. Alicia gave a sigh and was drawing on her long kid gloves before the glass, when sudden ly a maid entered and tendered her mistress a note. Alicia knew the handwriting only too well. She tore the letter open and read: Dear Mrs. Jeffries: I received your let ter telling me that my presence at your house to-night would be distasteful to you. As you ran imagine, it was a great shock. Don't you understand the harm this will do me? Everybody will notice my absence. They will jump to the con clusion that there has been a rupture, and my credit will suffer immediately with your friends. I cannot afford to let this happen now. My affairs are in such condition that it will be fatal to me. I need your support and friendship more than ever. I have noticed for some time that your manner to me has changed. Pernaps you have believed some of the stories my enemies have circulated about me. For tiie sake of our old friendship. Alicia, don't desert me now. Remember wiiat 1 once was to you and let me come to your reception to-night. There's a rea son why 1 must be seen in your house. Tours devotedly. ROEERT UNDERWOOD. Alicia's face flushed with anger. Turning to the maid, she said: "There’s no answer." The girl was about to close the door when her mistress suddenly re called her. "Wait a minute,” she said; Til write a line.” Taking from her dainty escritoire a sheet of perfumed notepaper, she wrote hurriedly as follows: "If you dare to come near my house to-night I will have you put out by the servants.” Quickly folding the note, she crushed it into an envelope, sealed it, handed it to the girl, and said: “Give that to the messenger." The servant disappeared and Alicia resumed her work of drawing on her gloves in front of her mirror. How dare he write her such a letter? Was ! her house to be made the headquar-1 ters for his swindling schemes? Did he want to cheat more of her friends? ife He Need Be Ashamed Of. The more she thought of all he had done, the angrier she became. Her eyes flashed and her bosom heaved with indignation. She wondered what her husband, the soul of honor, would say if he suspected that she had permitted a man of Underwood's character to use his home for his dis honest practices. She was glad she had ended it now, before it was too late. There might have been a scan dal. and that she must avoid at any cost. Mr. Jeffries, she felt certain, would not tolerate a scandal of any kind. All at once she felt something brush her cheek. She turned quickly. It was her husband who had entered the room quietly. “Oh, Howard.” she exclaimed, peev ishly; “how you frightened me! You shouldn't startle me like that." A tall, distinguished-looking man j with white mustache and pointed | beard stood admiring her in silence., His erect figure, admirably set off la a well-cut dress coat suggested the soldier. "What are you doing alone here, dear?” he said. “1 hear carriages out side. Our guests are arriving.” ‘‘Just thinking, that's all," she re plied, evasively. He noticed her preoccupied look and, with some concern, he demanded: "There’s nothing to worry you, Is there?” "Oh. no—nothing like that,” she said, hastily. He looked at her closely and she averted her eyes. Mr. Jeffries often wondered if he had made a mistake. He felt that this woman to whom he had given his name did not iixe him, but his vanity as much as his pride prevented him from acknowledging it, even to himself. After all, what did he care? She was a companion, she graced his home and looked after his creature comforts. Perhaps no reasonable man should expect any thing more. Carelessly, he asked: "Whom do you expect to-night?” “Oh, the usual crowd,” replied Alicia, languidly. “Dr. Bernstein is coming—you know he's quite the rage just now. He has to do with psychol ogy and all that sort of thing.” "So, he's your lion to-night, is he?” smiled the banker. Then he went on: "By the by, I met Brewster at the club to-night. He promised to drop in.” .>ow it was Alicia s turn to smile. It was not everybody who could boast of having such a distinguished lawyer as Judge Brewster on their calling lists. To-night would certainly be a success—two lions instead of one. For the moment she forgot her worry. “I am delighted that the judge is coming,” she exclaimed, her face beaming. "Every one is talking about him since his brilliant speech for the defense in that murder case.” The banker noted his wife's beau tiful hair and the white transparency of her skin. His gaze lingered on the graceful lines of her neck and bosom, glittering with precious stones. An exquisite aroma exuding from her per son reached where he stood. His eyes grew more ardent and. passing his arm affectionately around her slender waist, he asked: "How does my little girl like her tiara?” "It s very nice. Don’t you see I'm wearing it to-night?" she replied al most impatiently and drawing herself away. Before Mr. Jeffries had time to re ply there was a commotion at the other end of the reception room, where rich tapestries screened off the main entrance hall. The butler drew the curtains aside. "Mr. and Mrs. Cortwright,” he an nounced loudly. Alicia went forward, followed by her husband, to greet her guests. (TO BE CONTINUED.) DANGER IN LICKING STAMPS Practice Has Been Known to Cause Acute Inflammation of the Tongue. Do the people who Jeer at the cau tious ones who refuse to lick a post age stamp as "cranks” know that there is a defined disease known as "the postage stamp tongue?” This Is an acute inflammation of the tongue, directly traced to the germs to be found on the gummed side of stamp or envelope. Other and more serious diseases have been caused by this habit that is so universal and seems so harmless. One throat specialist in a hospital declares that many chronic affections of the throat are found among persons who have as their livelihood the ad dressing and stamping of envelopes. Bad skin diseases have ben known to follow this habit, and it haa even caused pulmonary troubles. It is after all but a habit, and a bad one. It takes no more time and Is quite as easy to moisten the stamp with a damp sponge or rag. Where many letters must be stamped and sealed there are good pa tent inventions by which the sponge is kept moist Hanging on the Wa!’. “Tfce way pictures are hung makes such a lot of difference in the appear ance of a room." said an interior dec orator a few days ago. “That fact is thrust upon me nearly every day. I go into some parlors where the pic tures are hung so high that all per spective is lost, and the celling seems to be hopelessly high. Other folks tang theirs so low that It hurts your spine to look at them. In addition to straining your eyes, spoiling the beauty of the room and taking from the value of the picture. “All pictures sbould not be hung on the same level, as they so often are, yet all sbould be as nearly on the level with the eyes as possible. If square and oblong pictures are alter nated Irregularly with round and oval ones the best possible effect Is gained.” Accounting for It.

In spite of the great demands of the arts and trades for ivory, the quan tity imported at Antwerp, London and Liverpool, the principal markets of the world, remains almost constant The total was 4S4 French tons in 1SS8 and 469 tons in 1908. In the years between it has been as high as 68S tons, in 1900. Antwerp was unknown as an Ivory market 20 years ago. but now sur passes London in the size of its trade, owing to the opening of the Congo region. Occasionally tusks are found weigh ing 150 pounds, but one of 50 pounds is considered a fine specimen. The law -... I in both India and 'the Congo forbids ! the export of tusks weighing less than six pounds. But even allowing 100 pounds a j pair, the amount taken to Europe in a year means the death of more than 10,000 e'ephants, probably twice that number, for many elephants are killed that yield no ivory, females, for in stance. The price varies from |1 to $3 a pound, tccording to quality. Much Money in Junk. Much money is made by the sale of old rope and string. Thousands of dollars are netted by the buying and selling of old fishing nets alone; but the amount is a mere bagatelle to the cash that is turned over in the handling of old cordage at the docks. For Little Misses BY JULIA BOTTOMLEY. NO prettier millinery can be found for the little miss than is pic tured here. Children's hats are more elaborate than for many seasons, but the choice of materials saves them from losing their childish ness. Simple laces, light and trans parent straws, small flowers and soft lightweight ribbons, with high luster, take away every suggestion of grown up styles and leave us and the little ladies equally delighted with the sea son's offerings. The first hat shown is the familiar corday model with puffed crown of lacy braid and brim facing of the | same. The upper brim is covered with two row* of side plaited chiffon or mull edged with lace. A collar of rib bon is finished with a rosette at the side, made of two ruffles of the ribbon. Small rose buds and foliage finish the trimming. Children from six to sixteen years can wear a design of this kind. The odd little hat in Fig. 2 is de signed for a little youthful wearer. It is made on a wire frame of a lacy silk braid. The side crown is made of rib bon shirred at each edge on a wire. The brim is finished with the braid laid in boxplaits. A childish wreath of small daisies and forget-me-nots, with bows of ribbon at each side, trim the hat. A single tie (which mar be omitted i falls from the left side and is fastened to the shoulder with a little collar pin under a pray of flowers.

All the stockings for day wear show this embroidery up the side, sometimes in self-colors, but more often in one con trasting, Red or white on black is beyond donbt the best. This form of decoration has already displaced openwork for the carefully dressed woman. It has finally been decided that lacy effects are not good for the street, but that they should be reserved for the bouse and evening wear. Therefore, elaborate as is the hosiery for dress use. it is very plain ; for street wear. Severity in out of doors dress has led to adopting an entirely different quality of hosiery for that time. Girls who can afford to, wear silk stockings always, bat they have now at least ■ three different qualities. When walk ing. the thin transparent, though plain, kind is given up. This is now reserved for the house in the morning, or when paying visits { in a motor in the afternoon. ■ A New Silk. Among the newest and elegant silk en fabrics which the season has called nto prominence is satin feutre, a very lustrous weave, heavy of weave, beau tiful of finish, but soft and graceful despite its heaviness. It is quite wide, as are the flnei silks, and is to be had in plain colors In the new and fashionable tones, as 1 well as striped effects—the ground j one shade and tiny hair line of con- : trasting color crossing it. The stripes are single and not too far apart to be unduly conspicuous. For elegant afternoon or more sim , pie street dresses satin feutre is very effective and will make very striking j toilettes. Dress Shields. Silk and rubber dress shields grow too heavy for comfort when worn with light gowns, such as we are be ginning to bring out of their winter retreat. Try using about four thick nesses of tissue paper, cut in shield j shape and fastened with pins. They I must, of course, be changed every > day. They are valuable when the ' dressmaker is fitting a dress of any sort, on a warm day. DAINTY SCARFS FOR SUMMER Of All Kinds and Descriotions. and Generally More Elaborate Than Ever. Marabout and ostrich scarfs are more elaborate than ever. There Is no end to the possibilities that lie within the flufEness of the feathers, combined with folds or shir rings of chiffon. An edging of black and white mara bout completes a bit of feminine daintiness that would add charm to any costume. . A fancy bow of cerise velvet com bined with chiffon in the same shade has long ends that would be especial ly effective cu a white frock. The most popular scarfs have bodies of shirred chiffon with edgings of marabout that either match or are In striking contrast. They are so simple In design that any woman even passably clever with the needle can fashion one in an after noon. A muff to match is a smart acquisi tlon and the set looks well with an ' evening cent or for theater wear. Hint for Traveler. Oup girl, who is something of a trav eler. has for her trunk a large sheet o' blue muslin. This is pot in the bot tom of the trunk before the packing is started. When everything Is in it I is folded over the top of the clothes and firmly pinned with safety pjR3 With this precaution the girl is sure to find her garments as smooth at the end of a trip as at the start. Making Over Hemstitched Linen Having a lunchcloth and several traycloths that were beginning to break at the hemstitching, I found that by sewing a piece of lace or fancy open finishing braid over the hemstitching I could make them last much longer, and also look as well as new .—Harper’s Basar.

KIDNEY TROUBLE CAUSES LUMBA60 Remarkable StoryAbout Great Remedy I cannot refrain from writing to say that rour Swamp-Root has benefited me greatly. Last year I had a severe attack of lumbago. W as bad for a long time, and on seeing your advertisement, I de termined to give it a trial. I did so and in two weeks was cured. I gave a bottle to a poor woman who could scarcely walk. She came to me in four days to tell me she was all right and most thankful. I had another attack last November and was so bad that I could not rise from my chair without assistance and could hardly lace up my boots. I at once sent for more Swamp-Root and after taking two bottles, I am more than glad that I am well again. My age being seventy-three, I am the more convinced of the excellence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root. Yours very trurv, HENRY SEARLE, 1410 Arch Street, Little Rock, Ark. Letter t« Dr. miner * C*.

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fln9 wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beau ty. Home laundering would be equal ly satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Age of Oysters. Oysters grow only during the sum mer and especially during the long, warm summers at that, and are scarce ly big enough for the mouth before the third year. It is easy after look ing over a bunch of shells to tell how old an oyster is. A summer hump and the winter sink come across the shell every year, but after the seventh or tenth year full growth comes; then, by looking at the sinks between the humps it is hard to tell anything more about Miss Oyster’s age. Oysters live to be twenty years old. Had His Troubles. “Michael Dolan, an’ is it yourself?” “Yes; sure it is.” ‘"Well, ye know thot bletherin’ spal peen.

FR E E A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw Pills will be sent free to anyone on re quest. Address Professor Munyon, 53d & Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are in need of medical advice, dc not fail to write Professor Munyon. Your commun: cation will be treated in strict confidence, and your case will be diagnosed as care fully as though you had a personal inter view. Munyon’s Paw Paw Pills are unlike ail other laxatives c cathartics. They coax the liver into activity by gentle methods. They do not scour, they do not gripe, they do not weaken, but they do start all the secretions of the liver and stomach in a way that soon puts these organs in a healthy condition and -corrects constipation. In my opinion constipation is responsible for most ail ments. There are 26 feet of human bowels, which is really a sewer pipe. When this pipe becomes clogged the whole system becomes poisoned, caus ing biliousness, indigestion and impure blood, which often produce rheumatism and kidney ailments. No woman who suffers with constipation or any liver ailment can expect to have a clear complexion cr enjoy good health. If I had my way I would prohibit the sale of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are now being sold for the reason that they soon destroy the lining of the stomach, setting up serious forms of indigestion, and so paralyze the bowels that they re fuse to act unless forced by strong purgatives. Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic to the stomach, liver and nerves. They invigorate instead of weaken: they en rich the biood instead of Impoverish it; they enable the stomach to get all the nourishment from food that is put into it. These pills contain no calomel, no dope; they are soothing, healing and stimulating. They school the bowels to act without physic. Regular size bottle, containing 15 pills, 25 cents.
