NO. .21 t In the L I A By Get Anne looked about the class She w-s a new pupil, and was dering .vhich of the many would the interesting girls. She based her liking for peor, the degree to which they were esting. At. least, this was her w putting it. Not even to herself < she have acknowledged that were interesting according as wer fine-fine in the cense of fa and of sliow. For Anne sec longed to be fine. Matilde was fine. She attr? Anne. She were charming clothes she wore them with an air. Per Anne envied her the air more the clotLcs. And Matilde made dental mention of appointments the dressmaker. Anne soon learned about Mat She and her father and her older ter came down from their sugar p tation for the winters, that Mal might attend school and that her ter might attend society. Every in school had something to tell at the sister. She was a belle, and goings and her comings were evei the newspapers. Anne came down from an adjoin parish, too, for school, going he every Friday to siay until Mond Only an unusual price for the cot crop had made possible for her t year at the Gray college pr?par?t! school. When the year ended-wi there were two scholarships open the pupils of the school, and An was ambitious. She was also a s dent and a worker. But just now her ambition ccntr on things social. She had made her mind that Matilde would be charming friend. But besides being leader in her set, Matilde was, p( haps, a mocker at things serious ai Earnest. On first meeting Anne she had give her a preoccupied smile. She eviden ly had many and large interests ou side of those of school. Her conversi tlon chiefly concerned a dancing clu and a schoolgirl box party for a mat nee. Presently conversation turned upo the coming recitation of mathematic; Matilda gave a dramatic shrug. "I haven't a problem solved," she df dared. "oNt that I mind algebra, haven't had time. However," Mati: da's laugh was provokingly charming "there's nothing like establishing earl; the reputation you mean to sustain." ' Anne, on the outskirts of the group felt nettled. Matilde Feemed to mak< light of Y orth and work and achieve ^^^^^^Se^a^*?canTim^ ine any one willingly taking an "infe rior place in anything-" Matilde flushed. It was perhaps a new point of view to her. She turned and looked at this newcomer. Anne bore the scrutiny well; she was pretty. The two girls happened to be near each other when they were going in fi om recess. "I have the problems solved here if you care to look at them," said Anne, "lt's a mere detail to work them out, any way, when you've got the principle." "Why, thank you-I should like to," said Matilde. "I really meant to do them, but went to a dance, and-well -just didn't." Matilde, flushed and grateful, was more charming than ever. She was clever, too. She studied the paper up the stairs and into the schoolroom and through the roll call. When her time came, she rose with a smiling readiness and made a clevei recitation of her gleanings. Going out at dismissal, she slipped an arm through Anne's. The next day she asked Anne tc drive with her in her father's car riage. She also asked and received permission to take Anne home to dine Matilde's sister apeared in a bewil dering gown of trailing gauziness With a preoccupied goodby, she bad? them be "good children," and left ii the carriage for some more festiv? dining elsewhere. Matilde's father was silent and dark nnH hardly glanced at his daughter'! guest. Afterward Anne told Matilde that he looked sad. "Sad,"' the girl replied. "Who Father? O Anne, hov/ absurd." It was a servants' meal, just as i was a servants' house. There wa profusion, but there were also laxit; and carelessness. But to Anne lt wa only fine-the glitter, the show, th form. Afterward Anne gazed at the book in the library, although she was nsei to books. Then, as If reminded, sh asked: "Our themes for tomorrow have you written yours?" Matilde made a little mouth "Haven't thought of it. I hate wort I'll scribble off something in stud hour tomorrow," and her shrug ind ciited that deeper concern over such ratter was not worth while. Matilde's estimate of these thing of such moment to Anne, her assum] tlon that carriages at beck and cal servants, a fine house, were commo to all persons who were anything z all-this point of view seemed to Anr to put her at a disadvantage. Matild seemed to have 1.0 Idea that clevernef and ability played any part Ann decided to make her feel their advai tages. "But sc many are good in Englis lt would never do to fal down in tl it would never do to fal so far down : rank. Write if now; I'll help you." They did it then; that is, Anne wro and Matilde bit her pencil and praise "And you are not like most of tl Pinart ones. Anne; generally they' so goody and prissy!" "Matilde Levereaux has taken Am Norwich up," was the school comme: before long, but none except Am knew it was because she was makii Behool life easy for Matilde. When the school year was hi over. Miss Henry said to the class English one day, "I wish a sped .theme this we<?k upon original lin* rector Gray desires to note class pi gieas as compared with earlier wo o? the year." rht of Truth. ! Madden Martin. %r m. i Anne worked early and late on h theme. She spent a night with M tilde, delving into volumes for e ce rp ts and quotations. She meant win by her theme the notice of Dc tor Gray. Matilde produced her sentiment They were ?parse and abbreviate Her head was filled with thoughts < the coming dance on Friday. "L help me, Anne!" she begged. Arne laughed, and taking Matilde essay, said it was merely "notes." Sh placed the pages in her book, pro:ni: lng to put them into shape. But bi lng incapable of Slurring anything and not averse to impressing Matilde she threw herself into her friend" point of view, and wrote the essay lt was bright, it was clever, it wa humorous. Anne was proud of the work, bu she was prouder of that which sh< did for herself. It showed mon study. "Pick out some quotations for il when you copy it," she begged Matilde who embraced' Anne and promised. But the dance intervened. A month later Doctor Gray an nounced to the school that on these themes the faculty had based their choico for the Groly scholarship in English. The assembled class gave breathless attention; the announcement came as a surprise. Anne flushed, and was conscious that more than one girl glanced her way. Doctor Gray continued: "And in making the choice known, I would say that it is not only on the merits of the actual theme in hand, which is marked by clearness, simplicity and a rarer quality-humor-but because of her fine showing in English as compared with earlier work of the year that the scholarship is awardod to Miss Ma tilde Levereaux. A close second, but lacking the simplicity and humor of MisLevereaux's work, stands the work of Miss Anne Norwich." AsSt was Friday, Anne went home. Home meant a low, broad house in a gioup of live oaks and pines. Home meant father working early and late for a cotton crop. Home meant young er sisters and brothers, and a sacri fice by all to give Anne her year at school.- Home meant mother, never strong, today lying on her couch, her hand at this moment on Anne's head, which was buried against the sofa while Anne sobbed. "But it's mine Tnomrm rlnn't- ?j?. --v.->-.-*..-. - -- . rr .3 r>r i *<' . . the ere *?! o? the st r?:.-:.*-??. Matilde c?? it LU jjoctor Gray to tell-If for nothing else. I owe it to him-if she doesn't speak, mother-" "Why, you, dear, will net. Don't you see? Be honest to yourself, my child. Your punishment is silence. In confession now, Anne, lies only self interest." Matilde had laughed hysterically, uncontrollably. She had seized Anne after school, in the cloak room, and could only speak in snatches for laugh ter, "li's-the funniest-situation I ever dreamed of, Anne. If only wc could tell it-the joke-to the others! I-the despair of the faculty-I-I don't want it. lt's honors thrust upon me. I'll be buying me a cap and gown some day, Anne." There was no comprehension of the bitterness to Anne. But then Anne had to remember that she had made Ught of these very things with Ma tilde. How., then, could Matilde know? As for the falseness of the situation, that, to Matilde, was plainly the fun niest thing of. all. But by Monday Matilde had changed. She looked across the schoolroom sev eral times wistfully toward Anne. At recess she drew her aside, and told her that Doctor Gray had met her father on Friday, and had informed bira about the scholarship before Ma tilde reached home. "And-and-you won't believe what it meant to father, Anne!" .Matilde's eyes left Anne's in embar rassment; she was one to hide emo tions and deeper feelings. "He-papa-he kissed me on the forehead-twice. Papa-think of it!" Was Maltide pretending to laugh through tears? ?He-he said he had been mistaken about me; it had been his unhappi ness to think me shallow-and friv olous; he begged my pardon. 0 Anne! " There was no concealing lt. Ma tilde was crying. "He said it was the greatest grati fication either of us had ever giver him-Hortense or I. He had beer so disappointed in us! We haven' been anything he wanted us to be How could I tell him it was all i joke?" and Matilde turned away he: head. Later that day Matilde spoke again t I "Really, there's a zest in the getting c I isn't there, Anne? I've actuall; worked every problem." "There's noih ng like it," sal Anne. It was jjy to be honest, an not to laugh falsely at things on loved and believed in. h Son Matilde's work took tho spiri e ed personality that the girl ga\ n to whatever she did. She forged t the front speedily !i mathematic She said her father was helping her. j Anne went home with her now ac ? then an a Friday night. rfc "Comrades-in accord," said Mati de's father, with a smile at both girl ,e as the three opened books around tl lt lamp. He said it in French; thc thn ie had agreed to talk in French to he .jr Anne with her accent. And Matilde went home on a Frid; Af now and then with Anne. Anne d ln not even ask that the silver service al a former generation's grandeur ,s brought forth. The simplicity of t .o- ?amily's acceptance of a reduce mo rk of living was beginning to reveal I dignity to Anne. * Matilde would drop on a cush ?? I by the couch. "There's a charmi pink in your cheek tonight, Mada Mere," she would say, aa If Ann ? mother were a girl like herself, "a 9 I your hair-your lovely hair-Ut : take it down and arrange lt the n< v. ay." er The mother liked lt; she liked li a. tilue to come-she said to. And y x. trample the thought as she vt \ t0 Anne remembered. Had mother gotten? Matilde had never told. But Matilde was learning si things. The Norwich plantation v d isolated, and the children could n 3f attend the daily school. ,0 "Mother's teaching us this wini so Anne can go to town to school little Dorris had explained. Mo generally we have a governess." And Matilde was to bc proved. Thei came a day at school when, as she an Anne -were passing turough the hal noctof Gray called her Into his offic "And Anne?" asked Matilde. "And Anne," said ho, smiling. The two girls entered. The doctor looked at Matilde ovc j his glasses. The smile was earnesi now. "It is to speak a word of commends tion I called you in. It is about you wprk this year. You have earnei more than the Groly scholarship; v0i are earning the respect and admirat'ioi of the faculty." Matilde held Anne's arm tight a? they went out. It was a grip thai hurt. She had forgotten even Anne and was looking inward. She drew a breath suddenly. "'Earned,' he said, Anne 'earned!' " And Anne knew, all at once, that Matilde saw. "Oh, no, don't!" said Anne, for Ma tilde had turned back to the office. "That is, not-not for me; I couldn't bear it. Matilde." "But-but your father-" "0!" said Matilde. But she went. And Anne went, too. Matilde in criminated only herself. "My theme was not original work. I took the scholarship from Anne, whom you ranked second. Then Anne spoke. She drew Matil de's hand away from her Hps in Its en deavor to stop her. "I proposed it to her; she never realized anything but the joke. Then-" "Who wrote the theme?" asked the doctor. Neither girl spoke, Anne fearing to seem to lay claim to its merit, Matilde because to speak would incriminate Anne. "You know," said the doctor to Anne., "you, in this case, stand next for the scholarship." There was a flash illuminating ' Jnnd'o . : 1-. . , . r?itd<?a ;,r r:e*'*' ' -1 T.....",trt. t.'..!. .?? %TT'?: '" y-i ? ht"? \->-?e!: i? ?: ' ' .* v "a.'--rv v. o ..? ? un iheir own deciarauuu. Liiss -i Ward stood next in order of merit. But down stairs Anne and Matilde made the story clear. That the girls made heroines of them forthwith was bewildering but soothing. There had been enough to sting "Help me to study, Anne, to make every minute count!" begged Matilde. "I've got to make it up to papa-to show him. There's the Otis scholar ship in mathematics in June. Do you think, Anne, I could?" Anne winced. She had remembered that, too. Then she kissed Matilde. I !7 help you every way I know," she said. June brought its own surprises. Ma tilde Levereaux had won the Otis prize. Matilde herself told her father this time. She cried a little as she did 60, but his arm about her made her sure he understood. "Anne was the only one that could have taken it over me," Matilde ex plained, "and she would not try for it. She wanted me to gain it for you. And I let her do it for me, papa-al though they are not well off." . The price for cotton was not so good that year, but autumn saw Anne Norwich back at school. She made nc secret of how she had come. She had found the joy of frank nonesty. She had accepted the gift from MatiP de.-Youth's Companion. Kiistlim Cltle?* l'opulntlon.

PUEBLO OF TAO'; of Maj^r D. M. Appel, of the United States Army. Major Appel was graduated about twenty years ago from one of the best medical schools in this country-Jef ferson Medical College, Philadelphia. He receives his pay as a medical officer of the Army; he has no axes to grind save those that may be wielded lu tho aid of medical science. But, be it remembered, he has every condition in his and in his patients' favor. Of the treatment of consumptives at I Fort Bayard Dr. Appel has officially) reported over his signature: "This is strictly a military hospital, and our treatment is similar to that of all well regulated sanitoiia. Our success is due to thc excellent climate and the discipline enforced." Dr. Appel said to the writer for the New York Sunday World Magazine n few days ago: "I don't mean to say that if people come to us with lungs so far gone nf to destroy their breathing power w? can cure them. But I do say that wt can cure what has long been regarde?' as hopeless, the third stage of th; disease. "I have never made that statement publicly before. I haven't been ready to make lt. "Wc have been working fot these re suits since the establishment of the sanitarium three years Ogo, and we have been doing a great deal of orig inal Investigation in thc'treatment of tuberculosis. Our best hope' have been realized, and now you may Inform the public that under the conditions which prevail In this territory, te dread dis ease has been robbed of s terrors." General Arthur MacArtur, who was GENERAI, ABTH!

And Dr. Appel has laid down for his 1 patients a set of hygienic rules that common sense Itself should enforce Without fear of thc guard house. To the foolish these rules may seem "vul gar." but the truly wise will at once appreciate their force against the in fection of tuberculosis. Besides, these niles can bc advantageously followed hy every consumptive wherever he is. Thc wiles are conspicuously posted throughout the recreation rooms and dormitories: "Consumption is au infectious dis ease, caused by a germ which ls found in the saliva, therefore the saliva must bo carefully destroyed. Should lt bc allowed to dry, and In the form of dust float around in thc air, millions of these germs would be set free and would endanger not only those who rare well, but would often reinfect jlbose who are sick, and thus undo thc benefit derived from months of care.

"Do not help yourself to food from any dish except your own plate with your fork or spoon, but use those pro vided for that purpose. Try to refrain from coughing at meals; you can. with slight effort, do much to prevent it. "The usc of stimulants aud cigarettes is forbidden. Smoking and chewing to bacco in moderation is permitted. Whiskers and mustaches must be close ly trim; ned. "Patients not bedridden must ob serve the following rules: "1-They must occupy their quarters only from 7.30 p. m. to 8 a. m. "2-They must make their own beds and neatly arrange their personal be longings, none of which are to be left on the floor. "3-They must stay outdoors nt least eight hours dally. "1-They must not visit In quarters. "5-They must bathe at least once a week." Each patient is provided with a cup, consisting of a tin frame with a spring cover, In which is placed an impervious paper receptacle, and large covered spittoons with paper receptacles are scattered throughout the rooms and porches frequented by the patients. A shelf is fitted under each chair In the dining room, on which the cup ls placed during meals. The cups and all other dangerous infectious mate rials are destroyed in crematories, two of which have now been In use for several months. Abundant, good and nutritious food is provided and the dalry furnishes au ample supply of milk. Patients are weighed every Friday, the weights are recorded and a report of the gains and losses affords a good index of progress. Several patients have gained more than ten pounds In one week. About three years ago Fort Stanton was granted to the Marine Hospital service and Fort Bayard to the medical department of the Army, to be under the command ol' the surgeons of these divisions of the service, and to be used by them for carrying on such work nf that, now being conducted.

Simple shirt waists, of the tailored order, are smarter and better liked for general morning wear than any other sort. The attractive May Manton model, shown in the large illustration, includes several novel features, and is relieved of other severity without los ing its essential characteristics. Tho original ls made of rese?a green henri etta cloth, with embroidered dots in black, and ls worn with fancy stock and belt of black Liberty satin, edged with white; but French and Scotch flannels, plain henrietta, albatross, all waist cloths, simple silks and washable materials are appropriate. The foundation, or liulng, is snugly fitted and terminates at the waist lino. The fronts of the waist are tucked, in groups of three each, which are stitched to the depth of a generous yoke, then allowed to fall in soft, be coming folds; but the backs are tucked for their entire length, and so rendered quite smooth and free of all gathers.

A Flounce an the Skirt. -vu effective way to join the flounce to t?ie skirt is illustrate?! in one of the model gowns in Liberty satin. The pattern is in a black and white scroll effect, on a cafe au Salt ground. This is prettily emphasized with trim mings of black velvet ribbon, whicb also is introduced nt the head of the flounce. The ribbon is In graded widths, the widest lowest down, and Hiere are several rows set on a founda tion of heavy cream colored net. The whole is then used as a sort of insertion between the skirt and flounce, and the net shows through the ribbon to good advantage. Newest White Waist. Absolutely new and striking are the new and white linen shirt waist pat terns. These are of a heavy but not tight weave, and the embroidery on them is called English, but it is Persian in coloi, and cord, silk, twine and fthread as to material, not to mention the little tassels that are worked into (he design. This gay embellishment is on the front, and also figures suffi ciently for stock and sleeve adornment. Shaped Lace Garment*. Most of the new lace robes arc in Renaissance, and some of the hand somest show bold designs in the shape of Liberty satin applique. . These are seen in both black and cream. Grass linen or silk barege form splendid floral appliques for those in twine color. Irish crochet robes in white or ecru are the top of the vogue, ana may be had with or without the appliques. Irish crochet waists may also be had separately. Attractive Gray Hat.
