"Tou may deliver the thlnga to Miss Etosalle Varden." Mrs. Haines said crisply when they had finished tbelr purchases, and the young merchant wrote'the name carefnlly. "Rosalie Varden!" Of course her v?m? wuuia uo xvuoai.u varaeu, uiu 5lrl who was to wear those dresses. What name could suit her better? After his customers bad gone the shopkeeper pictured her again, brownhaired. starry-eyed, with an oval (bee and a very demure smile. He thought he would like to paint such a girl some time, it business ever paid well enough to that he could go on with his study hf art? During the next few days Rosalie made frequent visits to the shop for bits of lace and ribbon or rosy lengths of silk. Interest in her new wardrobeproved so absorbing that it had altered her usually staid maner a little, and! her sober face was now so smiling that she looked younger than ever. Tho shopkeeper observed her with interest, wondering what relation she bore to Lhls Miss Varden who was evidently buying a trousseau. An older sister, perhaps. She herself bad the sort of (ace which a Rosalie Varden Bhould lave?oval, with a little pointed chin. "Would Mis.s Varden he interested in this Dresden ribbon?" he asked one a ay when Rosalie was shopping. Sho looked up startled. Of course, he didn't know that she was Miss Varden, she in her little drab suit. Sho dimpled at the humor of it. "I think sho would," she returned. And almost for the first time sho noted what a pleasant mannered young man this was, good looking, too. She hoped she would meet some men like that In the city when Mrs. Haines took her there. She liked his chin? Rosalie had decided that she must leave Mcdwlti to begin her "new lite" as she playfully called It. So she had planned to spend the winter In New York with .Mrs. Haines. By doing this her sudden change of character and costume would not cause comment in Medwln. Altogether it was a very good plan, and even Mrs. Varden approved. So when at last the "troucl.eau" was ready Rosalie packed it carefully In a new wardrobe trunk and prepared to leave. It was strange, but suddehly the had a homesick feeling; once tho trousseau was folded away. It had been such fun getting It ready, she had enjoyed the trips to the shop so much ?And very abruptly Rosaline acknowledged to herself that It was the shopkeeper she would miss. She had grown so accustomed to his friendly interest, lie had been so courteops, and he w^s so handsome. What would he think* If lie knew about lior, she wondered? After all she had not been strictly honest to let him think that she was buying things for her little sister. She SOCIETY GIRL WHO BRAVED BOMBS __ * * -I IVV-. I ULSIE, ?STE.Vff'N?

In the interests of food economy. 1 good housekeepers are nowaways do- 1 ing their own marketing. They not 1 only go personally to select their sup- i plies, but they also carry a basket to ] hold their purchases. 1 With the regular observance of meat- l less Tuesday, the shopping housewife ' can cut her visits to the market to two c-i three a week. 1 And by serving no meat at all on ! Tuesdays and fish always one day a 1 week, the housewife can achieve two ' meatless days a week without lowering ' the vitality of the family she caters < for. Herewith, are given three good recipes for meatless meals: Swiss Soup. 1 One large carrot, 1 large leek, 2 turnips. 6 Brussels sprouts 2 artichokes, < 1-2 cauliflower, -1 quart milk, I table- ' spoonfuls cream, salt and pepper.
