THE
RENUNCIATION
ByMABTIM HENDEsSO.N GHAT
Rev. Philip Ware lookivl thoughtful
ly around the sitting room of tin1 tiny
fl.il. It was very hotm-llke; there
i'rt evidence of a woman's flniters In
every little nook, nnd over all was
the soft rose llRht from the lamp.
She had come lnt his parish six
months before, and he had made his
first call upon her In his capacity of
minister. He had railed many times
very many times, hut these were not
itoncther In the capacity of mlnl.tter.
This whs note 1 by his devoted par
ish, and on this account the newcom
er was promptly disliked by several.
There was one girl who disliked her
particularly: n tall dark pirl. with
beautiful hair, and the face of a saint.
Im-miIcs, the reHrt had been spread
ah.-oad. stared by some one who
' hk w h-r before sli rame to M ,"
that she was separated from ner Uus-
lMfl-1.
Rev. Thillp Ware thought of all this
a-; lie waited.
It would be very simple, hp rea
soned He would not. stay long, they
would have a pleasant, friendly chat
at first, and then m he was noiiis. he
would tell her. She would under
stand: she was a woman of the world,
and would know what he meant with
out his telling it all.
Then feeliri.i; that he was not alone,
he looked up and saw her standing In
the doorway. She was looking at him
with a peculiar Intense expression In
her eyes, nnd he caught the look be.
fore she had time to veil It behind her
UMial laughing manner.
At that look Rev. Philip Ware lost
his wonderful self-control. Springing
to his feet, he strode determinedly to
the door and clasped the soft, woman
ly figure In his arms. She quivered a
little and then was very still. Silently
lie laid her head against his shoulder
and laid his lips upon hers. Somenow
li had forgotten about the friendly
ehat and the liule message Just before
he went.
Suddenly the sound of a bell In the
next Ihit brought them to conscious
ness. It was the woman who started
back.
"I.et me go, Philip," she said, quick
ly and firmly; "let nu go."
Hut he made no motion except to
clasp her more closely. There was a
dogged look in his eyes which she did
not like to see.
"Philip," she pleaded, nnd there was
ring almost of desperation In her
voice, "for Clod's sake let me go."
At that name the name of the King
whose ambassador he was some con
sciousness of what he was doing rams
to Rev. Philip Ware, and for flnd'8
Bike for His only ho let ber go.
"Listen to me, Marian," he cried.
"My love for you Is stronger than any.
thing else, anil you must love me,
you shall."
Rev. Philip Ware's "voice rang out as
firmly and powerfully as was its wont
when he read. "Thou shalt not." In the
Commandments. Perhaps the woman
thought of this, for she shivered
slightly.
"You kTio' that to me," he went on,
more quietly, "death alone has the
power to separate tbose who have been
Joined together; but since in your eyes
divorce Is lawful, I will wait until
you ore freed. So now there can be
nothing to keep us apart unless you
say that you do not love me; but you
do Is it not so, sweet?"
He bent nearer slowly, as If afraid
of frightening her, but as he touched
her hair she started back and, snatch
ing away her hands, moved quickly
to the other side of the room. Slowly
she turned ami faced him, anil when
she spoke her voice was calm and
naturnl.
"I think you must surely be forget
ting yourself. I did not know that I
had ever given you cause to think
that I loved you until, perhaps, Just
now; but that was because because
you surprised me so that I did not re-
ali.e what you were saying and do
lug."
Had she thought of It she would
have been amused ut herself for falter
ing she to whom this was an old
story.
Hut as she glanced at him there was
something in his eyes thai she could
not bear to see those eyes from whose
depths she would have kept away the
shadow of pain with her very life.
She only knew that she loved hira bet
ter than anything In the heavens
above or the waters under the earth
the phrase came to her unbidden
and that she had given him his death
blow. Why could she not go to him
as' he sat there, with his head buried
in his hands, and tell him this tell
him that she would do what he asked,
would go with him anywhere?
If she alone were to be considered,
she would do it; but he must be kept
safe; his honor must never be blem
ished, nor his career as a priest of Clod
be spoiled. So this woman, of whom
the world spoke so slightingly, nerved
herself to begin the struggle against
him and her other self.
- "I have always been called heart
less," she said In an unemotional tone,
"and I must be if I have made you be
lieve that I love you, for I do not; I
never have; I never can."
Tha last was uttered with difficulty.
for he had lifted his eyes to her face.
and she saw that they were haggard
and drwn, even in the soft lamp
light "Marian," he said, "must you take
all? I bars given you u love, my
aoner: mit you take my faith, too?
j For If yon have deceived me there M
no one whom 1 can ever trust. Pity
me, Marian! have mercy! tell ait that
I you dll not deceive me, that you do
, luxe me only that, dearest; only that
I A man can lire without love or hope;
he can even die without them; but
he can neither live nor die without
faith."
Slowly she gathered her scattered
reuses and looked up at him.
"You are right. Philip," she said
softly. "l-I thought I was doing It
the best way, but I didn't know, fdr
I'm I'm not good, you know. It is
not because I do not Wish to to do
as you want me to do, but because I
will not, and I will not because I love
you, dear."
"Oh. Philip, my darling, my life. I
love you so more than anyone else
could evrr love you. Yet you will
marry her the girl who hatea me so,
the girl who has always been good.
How long would she love you If she
knew of this, ilo you think? She loves
you only because you are noble and
reverent and good, while 1" her voice
was harsh with pnln "oh, Philip, I
would Iovo you In heaven or earth of
hell."
The man could bear no more. He
caught her hands and pressed the
palms passionately to his lips. Ilia
very touch seemed to soothe her, for
she drew them gently away, and when
she spoke her voice wad low and
sweet.
"I have never loved anyone, you
know, dear, so perhaps that Is what
makes It so hard. I married because
I had no home and he was good to me.
Since then I have nut cared whether
men loved me or not. They were
rather amusing, and I was not good
enough for the women to rare for me,"
she added bitterly. "But when you
came into my life I knew then what
it would have been to have the love of
a good man." She paused and looked
at him longingly. "Philip," she said,
pleadingly, yet with a note of shyness
In her tone, "may I run my fingers
through your hair? You must be very,
very quiet and not touch nie."
The man looked at her with mute
eyes that reminded her somehow of
the eyes of a dog.
"I have always wanted to do this,"
she said. "Y'ou have such pretty hair,
so thick, and black, and wavy. 1 be
lieve that I love it best of all, but then
I love all of you best."
She paused a moment and looked at
him critically.
"If you were lfsa good, Philip If
you had made, no struggle against It
perhaps I would have heard you, for
I love you so. Now I will go back to
him, the one who the law says Is ray
husband, and you will marry the beau
tiful girl who does not know what
wickedness means. 1 could never sat
isfy all of you. for I am not good
enough." Her lip quivered a little.
"Philip," she cried, "why did God for

"GOOD NIGHT."
made? Perhaps he did give me one,
but there was no one to help It to
grow. Do you think." she asked sud
denly, "that she would have loved you
enough to give you up?"
Hut just then the clock chimed the
hour. There were many strokes, and
each one seemed to beat upon their
consciousness the fact that now they
must part.
"You must go, Philip," she said
gently. The man rose.
"This Is the end?" he asked In a
hard, dry tone.
"This is the end," she repeated soft
ly, and held out her hand.
He drew a quick breath and looked
at her hand reproachfully.
"Not that way; surely, not that way,
dear? May I not at least tell you
good-by as I want?"
She wavered an Instant, but looked
up Into his face with a brave smile.
"No; it would do no good and only
make it harder for both of us, I know
a better way the way your mother
would tell you good-by. Lean down a
minute. Philip."
She slipped her arms around his
neek and rested her soft lips for an
liis ant on his forehead.
"Good-by, my life," she whispered,
so low that he scarce'y heard it. "Keep
good always."
Ho took her hands and reverently
lifted them to his lips, kissing them In
the pretty pink palms.
"Just one thing, Philip," she said.
wistfully. "Do you think ihat I have
harmed you muh? I would hate to
harm th only one I have ever loved,
you know," she added with a pathetic
little break In her voice.
Strong man as be was, this was too
much for him. Tears choked bis voice
so that he could not answer, but he
shook his head.
"Good-night." she whlsp red. and
watched him as he slowly descended
the sialrs without ever turning lack.
Then she mechanically went to her
own apartment. The pretty rote-colored
lamp went out and 1 ft her la
merciful darkness.
The Fashions of the Day
. . ..
OP LATEST
There are yokes on everything, shoYt
yokes and yokes long enough to meet
the corselet skirt; but, one way or an
other, blouse and even outside wrap
must be cut up by gimp or the simu
lation thereof. The fancy walHt here
pictured seems to us most attractive,
graceful and latest mode. All-over
lace is used for the upper part, the
lower portion Is of soft messallne, a
shade darker than the light-weight
cloth skirt with which worn. The
sleeves come well above the elbow and
a band of trimming encircles the arm,
giving a full puff at the shoulder. The
collar Is quite high, a point to note
with this new style of blouse. In the
street gown suggested, the princess
coat Is so cut up by trimming as to
give the apeparance of a bolero. The
sleeves are very short, disclosing a
puff of lingerie between coat cuff and
long glove.
Speaking of short sleeves for the
street, have you seen the economical
silk wristlet an enterprising denier
has put forth? It Is merely a long
glove without covering for the hands,
wrinkles its way from elbow to wrist,
where It Is met by the real glove. One
pair will outwear many pairs of gloves
and one need not feel so extravagant
about having all one's sleeves abbrevl
ated. Flat braid trimming Is very much
the thing for the tailored gown, for
black, white or colored gown. So far
we have seen no white serges on the
street, but many very fetching ones
have been made up for summer days.
White will continue to be Immensely
popular, and a white wool or mohair
frock Is a fine thing to have In one's
summer wardrobe; there are so many
cool pleasant days when one wants to
look summery and yet not blue-nosed,
and such a frock as this answers the
bill exactly.
Fine turks look neat and trim and
we find them employed a great deal
on late frocks, much used for fitting
in at the waist line bodice and
princess. It takes an artist to do this
Suitable for' Mourning Wear
In England the wearing of mourn
ing is much more the rule than on
this side; we would say unrelieved
mourning Is rather the exception here.
Of late at the southern resorts where
people are wont to flock during the
days of early spring, during the Im
possible days of the northern spring,
there were noticeable all-white mourn
ing costumes. These costumes were
very plain, severely tailored morning
dresses and simply trimmed crepe de
chine in the evening. The latter were
relieved 'only by tucks or folds of self
material. This fashion of donning
white on sultry days is a very sensible

one, black stuffs not only look hot
and uncomfortable, but are so to a
markedly unhealthful degree.
The gown here Illustrated Is of
black veiling with trimmings of crape.
The model is one of the modified
princess robes and exceptionally good.
The chemisette is of net crepe folds
on the rornage give a curve where oth
erwise there might be severity of ap
pearance, and the robe is bordered by
a band of crape; the rosettes on the
bodice are made of this material, and
down cither side of the front panel are
closely clustered crape covered but
tons. This last detail may bo omit
ted If considered too fussy. Some
times puffs of chiffon are used spar
ingly In trimming a mourning dress,
and duli black beads are worn as neck
laces. Materials ravoreii for mourn
ing are voile, veiling, pongee and a
silk that Is something between china

when the skilled one has finished hei
work. How It Is done we do not pre
tend to know, there are such cunning
ly hidden gores which come to a mere
nothing at the waist and flare out most
bouffant below. The designers of the
1906 spring gowns have certainly
shown much cleverness.
The loveliest flesh tones are seen ir
millinery and gown materials, many
variations played on creamy pinks,
and pinky creams. The so-called
"banana" Is something much more
charming than one would think from
the sound, and all the tans are It
highest favor, bid fair to rout thi
much exploited grays of earlier proph

us several years, but the biscuit-colored
cloth Is as good this year as when

A hat shining splendid from a show
window the other day was a lustroui
horsehair whose color was neither yel
low nor pink, but a mingling of both.
The long plume was decidedly straw
colored, the whole a very beautiful
combination. This would be effective
either as a suit hat or to wear with
a white lace gown. With black it
might prove too much of a contrast.
It is surprising how much velvet Is
to be used this spring and summer.
Short coats and boleros are to he made
of It, and It Is employed extensively
for trimming. The Idea appeals to

and of the trim white wash- suits.
Black pongee makes cool and neat lit

Ribbons are either taffeta or gros

Is to be had and one that does not
get limp and bedraggled after a little
use. Concerning hats, mourning mil
linery Is not so harsh as formerly,
much soft tulle and maline are brought
Into play, and coarse nets used with
good effect. Trim toques are made of
draped crape, whose only trimming Is
rosettes ot the material. If a hat
that will afford some protection is de

Is selected and very simply trimmed

foundation of the hat, and always kept

Some short sleeves are seen on
mourning dresses, but usually the
three-quarter length Is preferred.
