Shglancctl at Harvey for tbe approving - h

applauded her lorrowed phrases , as ,
thuttgh ev/ry word were a nugget of
t
v , fadom fresh from the mine , and add- | I

"What do you mean. Xell ? Have you
forgotten Hhe is to tome here to din-
nt-r ? "
"No ; but you and I are to dine at
father's. I promised him ten days
ago. "
Helen spoke calmly , though her color
flickered an s > he encountered Harvey's '
afatonlshcd s > tare. Gladyp , too , looked
surprised.
i
"My dear girl. " Harvey burst out ,
"why In the world did you not tell the
mater MJ when she was making arrangements - |
I
rangements for her dinner ? " j (
"Bocauhe ahe did not consult me. She >
addressed you , and took it for granted j
I had no engagements. I never oner
unsolicited information. " j
Gladys saw an ominous look in Har- J
vey's ' eyes , and rose hastily. She had j i
no i delre to witness a matrimonial |
squabble. i !
|
"It Is not of the least consequence , j
Harvoy. I should like Helen to most
Mrs. Barr , who has a great deal of
social influence , but there will be
plenty of opportunities for her to do
ho In the future , as I Intend to open
the house to my friends again. I have
been living too quietly of late. " She
looked full at Helen , and thcio wiu a
touch of defiance in the manner of
both. "Do not give this little misun-
dcistanding a thought. I shall not ;
for It isn't worth it. "
She had left the room before the last
word wus uttered , and ran lightly
down the piazza steps to the garden.
"What a woman ! " one thought.
"What a hard , narrow , revengeful , sul
len woman ! Poor Harvey ! I hope hu
may continue blind to the end. It is
his only chance for happiness. "
She need not have been concerned
for Huivcy. Already Helen , her arms
about his neck , her voice broken with
emotion , was making her cause good ;
and although he could not see exactly
wncre uiadys Had erred , lie was soon
convinced that his wife had been wan-
; only insulted , and was grievously bust
In consequence. Nothing could have
been further from the truth than
either conviction ; but gazing Into so-
ductlvo eyes , tear drenched , pressing
warm , red lips quivering with sobs ,
few men are wlso enough to discrim
inate between the chastening dews of
sorrow and the bitter waters of Bplto
or envy.
Gladys. ' dinner was a success. She felt
Helen's absence to bo a relief. It
seemed pleasant to have the house to
heisclf again , and to sit at the head
of her own table. She threw off her
sadness and became the charming ,
frivolous Gladys every one potted and
loved. Her guests lingeied late. Long
after Harvey and Helen had retired
the sound of their voices rang through
the houbo , and Helen complained next
day at breakfast that baby was fretful
and unwell , having boon robbed of bis
olccp the night previous.
Mrs , Atborton made no answer to
this plaint. She had discovered that
Haivoy's geniality had vanished , and
his manner toward her was cold. She
divined the reason for the change , and

THE HAIR HARVEST.
it , OOO.OOO 1'oundt of Hanuin Hair
Perhaps there is no staple article-
about which less is known by the av-
crge person than human hair as an V
article of commerce. It will doubtless. '
surprise many when it is stated that
the dealers in human hair goods do
not depend on chance clippings here
and there , but that there is a regular
hair harvest that can always be relied
upon. It Is estimated that over 12-
000,000 pounds of human hair are used
annually in the civilized wprld for
adorning the heads of women , says a
writer in the Toledo Courier. Two-
thirds of the ladies nowadays use false
hair , more or less. The decree of
fashion or the desire to conceal a de-
feet or heighten a charm is the reason ,
of course. One woman , for Instance ,
las a high forehead and wishes to re-
luce It in appearance. Another has
vorn off the front hair by continued
rlzzing , and would like to conceal the
fact. Both make use of front or top
piece , with a choice of many styles.
Ladles' wigs cost from $20 to $100.
: Ialf wigs , top pieces and switches ,
from $5 to $50 , according to quality.
The rarest supply of hair comes
'rom ' Switzerland , Germany and the
