Mias Martha Guthrie, of Pitts

hat trimmed with cherries, with
white skirt and walat In her early
nia'rhes, then regretfully forsook
the headgear when she met Miss
Hilda Stephens, of Toledo, later In
the tourney.
Miss Stephens, conspicuous In

left-handed woman player entered,
wore a dainty lacy chartreuse waist

The bloomers are Jersey with
green silk 'garters’' fitting snugly
at the knee. The little "mob eap"
is gray sploshed with green. The
streamers are green and gray.
‘"Ungrateful girl!’ she said, and
left the room with her handkerchief
pressed ostentatiously to her eyes.
"I was so glad when she left. I
turned to the dear old lawyer who
had been my father's friend so many
years. ‘How soon can this all be
settled up?’ I asked.
"‘ln about a week, my child, but
I want you to understand that If you
give up the house you give It up

"‘Not yet, things have come so

all the advantages that 1 have can

"But after the lawyer left, I be

"I was a splendid dancer. I was

were going to live forever,
"After all our great talk about
temperament and Imagination, I
don't think we, any of us, has much
realization of what can possibly
come to us or much recollection
of what Is past.

observation has come to me from

back on them as adventures.

effect. The pointed cap is rather
clownish, too.

YU JOB
By JESSIE ROBERTS
The Idea spoken of by me several
times, that women would make good
at running a bookshop, is being
proved correct in various cities. Now
I have just heard of an elaboration
of the work being done In Omaha
by Mrs. Wm. R. Mathews, who not
only runs a bookshop, but who haa
in It a special children’s room.
She speaks of this room as her
particular hobby, realized only aft
er eighteen years of aervlce, and It
is evidently close to her heart. Here
are all the good books for children,
and Mrs. Mathews is careful that
there shall be no others. She thinks
that it ia a high privilege to assist
in training the children, as only
books can assist them, ang takes
this part of her work with the great
est seriousness.
Surely there are other women who
will he attracted by this same no
tion, and will see a chance to start
a children’s bookshop, or a room in
some already established shop that
shall be entirely for children. Here
too, of course, mothers seeking th«
best reading for their youngsters
will come, sure of good advice and
telling help,
