the skirt; but bolero and skirt ofter
are made of the same material, with
the waist of some thinner fabric. Silk,
wool, linen and cotton are all #o used
and all can be rendered charming, but
nothing is lovelier than the linen and
mercerized materials, which are very
nearly legion.
The waist consists of a fitted lining,
which can be used or omitted as pre-
ferred, front and back of blouse, with
the full sleeves, and the bolero, which
Is qulto separate and Is made with
fronts, back and bell sleeves. Tht
waist is full and blouses over the
draped belt, the closing being made in-
visibly at the center, and is finished
with a regulation stock. The bolero Is
exceedingly simple and Is laid in out-
ward-turning plaits that fall over the
arms-eye seams.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size Is: For hlouae,
4% yards 21 inches wide, 4 yards 27
inches wide or 2*4 yards 44 inches
wide, with one-half yard of all-over
lace and one-half yard of silk for belt;
for bolero, 2% yards 21 inches wide, 2

of rose or any desired extract of Cow-
ers can be added at any time.
The New Handkerchief Kimonaa.
Kimonas made from large, square
handkerchiefa have taken a new twist
this season. Instead of brilliant ban-
danas and the old-fashioned combina-
tions of dark blue and white, or vivid
red and white, the most delicate col-
orings are seen.
The center of the handkerchief
shows delicate pink, blue, green, yel-
low or lavender, with a dainty border
in pale Persian colors or Dresden ef-
fects, with the color of the center pre-
dominating in the conventional or
floral design. Another difference In
the style lies in the fact that the
points of the handkerchiefs are
brought to the neck line and then
turned over to form a small, shawl-
shaped collar.
Plug for Pneumatic Tirea.
A recent invention, which has at
least the merit of novelty, Is that of
a metal plug for repairing pneumatic
tires. The device consists of two cir.
cular brass disks, through the center
of which passes a threaded brass rod.
One of the disks is introduced
through the hole In the tire, after
which the top disk is screwed down
tightly against it and the brass rod
cut off flush with the tire. The re-
sult is said to be a perfectly tight
repair which is both more durable
and more effective than the present
system of repairing with rubber plugs.
Paris Muslin and Lace.
Every woman of taste likes to be
the possessor of dainty underwear,
well made and carefully fitted. This
very simple little corset cover Is
shaped on admirable lines and com-
bines perfect smoothness at the back

When bread Is baked the loaves

For Openwork Medallions.
A band of some eight or ten inches
nf linen is a foundation upon which
the loveliest of openwork medallions
are woven, and this may be inserted
as it is, or it can be cut Into sections
to fit the place for which it Is In-
tended. The linen frock carrying
such trimming Is a work of art suited
to the most elaborate functions. And
again there are very pretty frocki of
linen modestly trimmed in lace and
embroidered that make a charming
afternoon dress for almost any occa-
sion. The linen blouse which slips
over the head similar to the ones
worn by little boys and girls Is quite
an addition to the wardrobe of tho
larger miss; In fact, many well grown
women have taken to wearing this
simple form of dress for many out-
door sports—golf, tennis and the
yacht, which call for such apparel.

When the wind came there was a
rain of maple leaves, weary and with
ered souls swept from the grayed
branches, falling to swift currents
near the ground where they swiried
in yellow hosts, raising upon the air a
long sound of crackling cries, a curi-
ous interminable noise of dismay at
death, of fear of this implacable sweep-
ing force that came from the red
western sky which flared like an army
with lurid banners.
A girl came slowly down the path
that led through the maples. She
walked in a dreamy way, following
unconsciously the mere indication of
a road, that summer path that had
been swallowed in the merciless hail
of the dead leaves. Finally, a man
stepped from the shadows. He was
smiling as he put forth his hand.
^"Hello," he Baid.
When their hands clasped, Bhe be-
gan to look at the dark distance of the
landscape, turning her face from him.
• Well," he said at last, studying the
Immobile face, still holding her hand,
"are you glad to see me? I just re-
turned yesterday on the New York.
Very breezy trip. I thought I had
better " then suddenly he threw
away all that and spoke quickly: "And
your husband?"
She made a gesture towards where
three brick chimneys appeared in the
distance, looming above a rim of tree
tops. They both steadily regarded
these as if they were three person-
ages, three facta, emblematic exactly
of a certain situation. He, with his
cigarette now in his mouth, his hat
still tilted, clasping his hands, said:
"The infernal idiot!"
She looked at him with a swift, re-
sentful glance, but he answered at
once, making a gesture or irritation
which was a sort of defiant outburst.
"Oh, I am tired of treating him with
magnificent respect, when, as a mat-
ter of truth, he is to me the most
stupid and dense beast in the universe
for not being dead."
She was lifting her chin in a battle-
ful way and waving her Angers toward
his mouth. "But he Is my "

man. violently. "Do you think that I

her with sullen rage
Upon her face as she looked at him
there was a vague, Indescribable smile
and in her eyes there were two faint
points of mellow light. "Yes, you do
know it," she said.
He answered her attitude, tho light
in her eyes. "You love me," he cried
In discontented muttering, "and yet

she were speaking a lesson, uttering

had grown old in two days, frost had
touched his temples and his face was

red chimneys above the tree tops; he
held out his arms towards them, yearn-
ingly, with a half-stifled moan. The

WEALTHY MEN OF OLD.
Their Fortunes Make Even Rocke-
feller's Millions Seem Small.
A writer In a Jewish magazine has
been looking Into the Agadic history
of the Talmud, and believes that
there were richer men before the
Christian era than there are now. We
know that Croesus was rich, and that
there were huge Roman fortunes in
the times of the empire. The Talmud
stories go back further still. The
great corner In corn that Joseph man-
aged was fabulously profitable^ Tra
dition says that Joseph, acting for
Pharaoh, got his hands on pretty
much all the ready money there was
in his day, and buried three enor-
mous treasures, one of which was
found by Korah, whose fortune esti-
mated according to the modern stand-
ards of value, is rated by the maga
zine at three billion dollars. Solo
mon's stable, with its horses, chariots
and horsemen, is said to have iepre
sented a sum the modern equivalent
of which would be three or four hun
dred millions, and he spent two hun
dred and fifty millions on his temple

three Jews, who between them, fell
able to face an expenditure of a hun

it cannot be long to wait now."
"Wait, wait. My soul is weary of
this waiting." he answered. "He will
never die; he is too selfish; he will
see us both in our graves, I tell you.
Is all our youth to be worn threadbare

off?" He looked at her steadily for a
moment, then continued: "Do you
know that I believe that In spite of
the life he has led you, you love him,

She was very white and the pain
In her eyes should have warned him.
"No," he said, "four years Is long
enough to wait; long enough for you
to make up your mind. Do you know
that you have played fast and loose
with me for four years? Four—long—
years? Now you must decide. Will

do you send me away forever? I will

closed hands at the red chimneys—
"or happiness with me!"
The girl shivered and drew her cape
closely about her shoulders. As she
moved a faint perfume of lavender
came to the man. He took hold of
both her ha'jcjs with his and drew her
to him. eagerly, gazing at her face, so
close to his own. noting every feature,
the small straight nose, the forehead
low and broad, crowned with/ masaes
of dark waving hair, the email round-
ed chin beneath the sweet trembling
mouth! And her eyea—her eyes, now
dark with the pain of this passion
which she felt was mastering her.
She could feel his warm breath upon
her cheeks. Her hands crept up his
arms and about his neck; she threw
her head back and as she did—their
Hps met In one long klas.

The following morning the man
awakened with a song upon the lips
that she had kissed. As he dressed
he strutted as a self-satisfied cock
might strut while he plumed himself
in the barnyard. They were to leave
that night. Of course nothing could
prevent her going, now—"nothing but
death," she had said. All the morning
he was busy arranging his affairs for
a long absence.
At noon came a messenger with a
note. It was from her. How well he
knew the gray paper and the dainty
writing! He caressed the envelope be-
fore he opened it. "Why, I am getting
as sentimental an a woman," he said
aloud, laughingly. Then he tore the
note open and this is what it said:
"Forgive, forgive me, my beloved. I
have chosen death. I could not leave
him and after yesterdav there Is no
peace for me but in death. Forgive
me. for 1 have loved you more than
