the door shut.
I How lonosomo It looks whon Auntie
'I fcrtham Is nway. Myl I wish Bho'd

B Eleanor's thought! woro checked as
' I ila caught sight of a blossom that
' I bong high over her.
B 1 must have that ono," sho thought.
To reach It from tho yard was Impossl
B ble. and, after a couplo of Ineffectual
I amp, sho looked about for assistance.
I So ono was coming down tho deserted

f the wall, and stood faco to fnce
H tllh a joung man, who appenrcd to

H "Oh!" gasped Eleanor.
"Ah I" Inughcd the young man.
J "I Just wanted to get that lilac,"
itimmcrcd the cmbarraased girl; "I
BJ didn't know anyono was here."
H "Mrs. Graham Is nway," ho replied.
"I know she Is, that's tho reason I'm

thing I want, nnd I just want that
B one there."
B Tne young man raised himself on
I tiptoe and joked quizzically over at
I the bunch of lilacs that lay besldo tho
I parasol on tho sldowalk, then his
B glance went back to tho flushed face of
B the girl who stood surrounded by the
fl rustling leaves of tho bush.
B "Upon my word, I envy tho blossom
fl to be so ardenly longed for by one co
fair."
I Again his amused glance went Lack
to the gathered lilacs.
I "Oh, If you think I've been greedy

half angry words.

B "Aunt Emndel Is she your nunt7"
B "Yes; surely this Isn't Eleanor, tho
fl llrl Aunt Em has always been writing
about tho ono who Aunt Em calls
M 'Sunbeam'?"
! "Yes, Mrs. Graham calls mo Sun
fl beam, and I've always called hor
Auntie. Did you Bay she was your
aunt!"
'fl "Yes; permit mo to Introduce ray
H elf, I am Harry Graham,, and you, I
auppose, are Miss Mackey?"
'fl He seemed In no hurry to bring tho
. unexpected tcto-atoto t,o an ond, but
, stood Idly flipping tho leaves of the
'hedge with his thumb nnd Ilngor.
"Aunt Em's coming homo to-night;
sho didn't know I wajL coming hero; I
-fl got a telegram this riiornlng telling mo

fl The next monlng Eleanor was

"Won't you coViio In? Tho rector Is

"I can't stay 5 (now. Aunt Emmie

ain't no call to overdid theysoffs," de
clared Aunt Tillle, ns sho hastily car
ried a pall of cold water to bathe the
face of "Jlnrs Harry."
A young civil engineer, with all the
enthusiasm ond ambltldn of youth, ho
had entered his profession, only to And
that a plungo from collego Into tho
woods nnd swamps wns a chango too
great for even his strong constitution
to stand. To recuperate from tho fever
which followed ho went to his aunt's,
whero ho knew a hearty welcome and
the quiet of n secluded vlllago awaited
him. Now, as he lay In tho white,
clean room and looked with conscious
oyes, for the first tlmo In many days,
Into tho dimpled face of tho little,
nurse, whoso gentle fingers soothed
his still throbbing head, ho was glad
ho came; glad ho had fever; glad of
anything that kept her near him.
"I am so thankful you arc hotter,"
Eleanor said; "hero comes Auntie with
your bioth. Tho doctor says you aro
out of dungcr now."
Tho lilacs had withered and gono
nnd tho early roses wero scattering
their leaves In tinted flakes over tho
gruss, beforo ho was strong enough to
walk about tho grounds nnd sit beneath
the arbor and llstqn to tho music of
Eleanor's voice, as she read to him.
Then he wns suddenly recalled to his
home, back to his Interrupted work.
Eleanor was away when he left
Whon Mrs. Graham laid In her hand
his note of farewell, a feeling of unut
tbrablo loneliness crept Into her soul.
Sho let Mrs. Graham turn her pale
faco up to her own and gazo deep Into
her oyes. Without a word Eleanor
kissed her, and turning, walked down
the path between tho lilac bushes nnd
down tho quiet street.
Tho summer slipped Into autumn;
then the cold breath of winter held In
check tho Impulsive spring.
A new sweetness, a womanly loveli
ness, added a new charm to Eleanor.
That farewell note she kept; no oyes
but hers ever beheld tho missive. All
his letters sho kept; letters telling o(
his perfect health, his ambitions, of
his memory of a beautiful summer
gono by, of his gratltudo to her, and
his lovo for his aunt.
Eleanor reproached herself for tho
aching oN his lettcrB left In her
heart Was he not kind to romembor
her, to bo grateful for tho little sho
had dona to help him master his Ill
ness? As she approached tho cottage one
morning her thoughts wero far nway
It was Just one year ago that sho came
that glorious morning to gather a
bunch of lilacs. She was living orei
again tho anxious hours of his Illness,
the happy hours of his recovery, when
like a wave fraught with recollections
a delicious frngranco swept over hor
Lilacs! Yes, they wero ngaln In bloom,
tho white ones nodding to the purple
ones In tho slow moving breeze.
Elcnnor took a bloom from the low
est branch and pressed It against het
cheok as sho thoughtfully walked up
tho well-known path betweon the over
hanging foliage.
"Eleauorl"
Harry Grnhnm, bronzed by wind and
sun, Btood In her path.
"Eleanor, I have waited so Ions;
speak, darling; tell mo tell mo, dent
heart, that I havo not waited In vain;
toll mo you lovo me, for, dearest, I lovo
you so."
For n moment Bho stood looking at
him, as ono looks at happiness but
onco tn a llfetlmo; then over her fuce
Hwept n change tho lettersl so friend
ly, only frlondly.
"Why did you wait?" sho hesi
tatingly asked.
"Ah, Eleanor, tho waiting has been
hard. I promised Aunt Emmie; she
gucesoj my secret I promised hor tc
wait ono year. Sho thought you toe
young to know your own heart. To my
aunt 1 owo everything. I promised 1
would not by word or letter try to win
your love It was a mad promlaol How
I longed to know If you cared for me.
Eleanor, sweetheart, toll mo."'
Ho stood close, to her, Sho dropped
her eyes to hldo tho tell-tale light ol
love. Taking her hand, that held the
spray of Illnc, ho clasped it In bis
own.
"Tho year has pabsed. To-day my
life Is cither made happy or ruined.

"I thought," Bho whlBpored, "the li

as Uiey bloomed beforo. I thought "
"Eleanorl you lovo me you yes,

DO YOU FEAR GROWINQ OLD?
Remain Lovable and Keep the Mind
Alert to the Times.
The futuro Is not half so creepy to
Uio girl "standing with unwilling feet
whero tho brook nnd river meet," as
It Is to that samo girl when sho
reaches "tho between ago" and finds
ago staring her In tho face.
Every woman hates to grow old, and
tho moro vital has been her life, tho
moro filled with Joy ond popularity,
tho greater that hatred.
It Is not pleasant to picture oneself
friendless, lonoly and not wanted
around; to feel ono'a hair and eyes
and teeth get tho worse for wenr, nnd
know that however tight your grip,
youth refuses to bo held.
An old woman who Is lovablo never
yet lacked lovo; the troublo Is that so

many of us forget to kcop lovable. Wo
grow sour, or discontented or captious
and then blame our lock of friends on
our years.
Tho woman who need not fear grow
ing old Is tho woman who keeps nllvo
to the times, whose mind Ib alert to
the best in tho world to-day rnthcr
than raking over tho past; who does
not worry, theroforo docs not "fuss,"
whoso aim Is a young heart and In
nchlevlng It forgets to fret over
wrinkles and bodily age.

Princess Business Gown.
Tho smartest of broadcloth pYinccss
gowns aro being shown for buslnesa

buttoned all tho way down tho front

When Applying Skin Food.
In rubbing skin food on tho face
particular attention should bo paid to
tho lines around the mouth, which. If
not trented with caro, aro apt to de
generate Into wrinkles Ono sldo
should be niassngod at a time, tho
tonguo being first pushed as forcibly
as possible ngulnst tho check so as

Hint for Washing Hair.
To avoid tangling the hslr when

forehead straight down tho back of
tho head. Thin divide each of those
parts into two nnd make four small
braids instead of one !arg one Whin

especially good ldra In washing n

HARD PILLOWS ON DIVAN.
Should Be Arranged So as to Support
the 8ofter Ones.
Every ono does not know that n
wldo divan Is mndo moro comfortable
by having at Its bnck two hugo, hard
pillows that will support tho softer
ones.
It Is UBual to heap up a great variety
of theso extra sort onus on a largo
divan so that nnyouo fitting or reclin
ing may arrange them according to
ono's comfort
These aro needed, It Is true, but
they also need a support. Tho wall Is
usually too far back from tho front
edgo of tho dlvan to Borva. Tho two
largo pillows mndo of tho material
which covers tho dlvan nro not only
comfortable, but artistic.
Thoy may bo stuffed with oxcclplnr
Into coarso muslin or ticking, then
covered with tho chosen fabric. Thoy
look hotter with n heavy cord around
the edging.
If the end of tho dlvnn Is against tho
wall ns well as Its side, a third pillow
may bo added to give an added frame
work to tho llttlo pillows.
This Is not nn expensive trick, but
If n housewife ovor tries It sho will
never lot tho dlvan go without this
part of its equipment
Gray and Pink Veils.
Even on Inclomont days tho girl of
to-day wants to look her best.' Oho
does not wear any old hat and frock
for fear of rain, but sho dresses her
self from head to foot In a costumo
built for tho wcathor.
It Is now her custom to snvo her
good and expensive fish net vol Is for

a closo face veil of deep roso pink
chiffon and over this a thin veil of
gray sewing silk.
Theso aro snugly pinned over hor

Waistcoats In Fur Coats.
Paris has started tho fashion for
wearing gold embroidered waistcoats
set with beautifully colored glass
beads In coats of fur.
What It Means to Be Smart.
Dress is the kcjnoto of tho situation,
nt country hniisi) pnrtlos. A smart
woman Is expected to mako as many
alterations as a quick-change artist nt
a mufdc hall, Sho wants tailor-made
gownit, shouting and motoring suits,
