FGQGOGOCOOGOOeOeOOOOGOQ i HARDNESS OF ADAM STABK.g OOOOGCCOCGCOOOOGOGGGGGOGOO iT had been an affection of rapid growth. They met at the borne of a mutual friend, and one glance started the train that leads to that most intlammable and dangerous of magazines, the heart of youth. George Cranston knew it was presumptuous lolly for him to lift his eyes to Helen Stark, and yet when they were lifted he did not veil them. They met again a little later, this time in the park, where she was walking. She had not forgotten him. In fact, her glan.ee was so friendly that Georsre instinctively shortened his steps and walked a little way by her side. Ob, the delicious daring of it! Ob, that never-tc-be-forgotten stroll! Small matter wbat tbey said. George could not bave told a lialf-bour later. He only knew it was a stolen sweet, and tbat earth was a paradise and Helen an angel. And Adam Stark? At that name earth became a lost paradise, and George a hopeless outcast beyond its gates. Nevertheless, the course of true love ran without interruption for fully six months. George saw Helen at intervals, some short, some painfully long, and several times he called upon her at her home. They were decorous calls, from which he retired at an early hour, feeling that the grandeur of the great reception room ill accorded with his idea of a cozy and tender tete-a-tete. And then one evening he suddenly told her of his love and stood amazed at his own boldness as she paused with downcast eyes before him in the little curtained vestibule, where, hat in hand, he waited for her answer. But when her eyes were raised he read the answer in their gentle depths, and the stars sang to him, and the night wind crooned to him, and he walked home on billows of air. And Adam Stark? "You must ask father very soon, George," Helen had said. "I can't look him in the face with a clear conscience until he knows." And George's heart sank to the region of his trim patent leathers. "I will ask him right away," he murmured. She saw his troubled look and put her hand a little timidly on his arm. "Father isn t nearly as hard as some people imagine," she said. "He is .very, very good and kind to me." "Which I am afraid offers no particular encouragement for me," said George, a little disconsolately. "Don't you know of some sesame, dear, that .will touch his adamantine heart?" "Tell him that?that I love you, dear George," Helen slowly answered. George left the bank at 3 o'clock the next afternoon and walked briskly to the sky-scraping beehive that included in its teeming midst the offices of the great capitalist. George had put his teeih together hard and told himself not to be a coward, and yet he mentally asked several times if he meant to flunk and show the white feather. But he pressed steadily forward and presented his card in the outer office. . The attendant who took it looked at him a little superciliously, but came back with the information that Mr. Stark would see him presently. He seated himself on one of the row of chairs against the wall and waited? which was much harder work than he anticipated, even though it brought n rocnit/i An/1 i-? ? .v<- ?AliU liiVUi a. lit Lie iillfr, he found himself in the presence of Helen's father. The famous manipulator of millions did not look up when he entered, and he waited hat in hand until his presence was noticed. Presently the cold gray eyes of the old man turned toward him. Then they fell upon the card before his long, white lingers. "Well, young man," he said, in sharp, incisive tones, "what can I do for you?" George came forward promptly and stood beside the desk. "I must beg to trespass upon your time for several minutes, sir," he said In a steady voice, "and trust thac our interview may not be interrupted until you have heard rue out." The old man gave him a sharp, steelly glance. "What you have to say concerns business of importance then?" "It does." "Of importance to you?" "To both of us." "Again the old man stared at him. Then he touched a bell and the attendant entered. "Henry," said the capitalist, "see i th.it nobody interrupts us for ten minutes. Now. sir," and he fingered the pile of papers before him impatiently. "111*. Stark." George began with a little quaver in his voice, "l crave your kindest consideration, l am about to ask of you a very great favor." Hisljiroat was dry and his voice i rpundedv.fp\ite unnatural to his sensitive ears. "Ic this the business that concerns j as both," inquired the old man, dryly. "Yes, sir.'' said George, stoutly; "it j concerns us both very, very .deeDly." l * ' . ' . His face flushed and ills voice gruw ; stronger. ".Mr. Stark. I liave come to j ask you to give me Helen." The <>1(1 man's eyes were on the card that he still held in his long fingers. He slowly doubled anil crashed it. When he spoke his voice was low and harsh. "How Icing has this been going on?" he asked. "I have known Helen," replied George, "for some six months, but I did not know that she loved me until last night." "You are quite sure she?she love9 you?" "Quite sure, sir. She told me to tell you so." The old man looked up. There was an ominous frown on his pallid face. "What are you r" lie snappeu. "Paying teller in the Sixth iS'atMW*al." "What salary?" "Sixteen hundred." The old man laughed harshly. "And on that you would marry a girl brought up to enjoy every luxury that wealth could give her?" "Yes, sir," said George, simply, "if she were willing." The old man's scowl deepened. The lines about his thin lips tightened. George had expected a sudden hash of anger. This ominous silence seemed much more discouraging. He felt his heart sink. "See here," said the capitalist, in his most incisive tones. He drew a book from a drawer and opened it and dipped a pen in ink. "See here, I will give you my check .or $10,000 and you will go abroad for two years." He lookeo George squarely in the eyes as he spoke. The young fellow's face Hushed hotly. He felt his eyes grow moist. When he was a boy and fought his schoolyard battles he al- i M-ofc mm/i/1 Ti'hnn ii/? ms tlin .merriest. I "X?no, sir!" he stammered; "I wouldn't sell Helen's love for twice your wealth!" "You're a fool," said the old man, drily, and put away the book. "I'm not a knave," said poor George. "I have a suspicion," growled this terrible father, "that for a mere novice you think you are playing your cards very well." Before George could make a hot reply to this insinuation there was a low rap at the door and the attendant put in bis bead. "The committee of mining gentlemen you were to meet at 3.30 is waiting, sir." "Tell them it will be impossible for me to meet them this afternoon," growled the old man. "I have business on hand of more importance." He turned back to George. "I have prolonged this painful interview," lie slowly said, "because I have something more to say to you, something of serious import." George met his gaze firmly. He felt that another disagreeable thrust was coming. "Well, sir," he said, and he held his linn/1 liiffh oc ho cowl it Ha Tvnc nr?>- I pared to face any new attack the old man could make. His fighting blood was up. "I want you to know that your attentions to my daughter have not passed unnoticcd," said the old man slowly. "The fact Is, I have had you watched for some time." "Had?me-watchedrepeated George vaguely. The enormity of It came to him slowly. "Had?ine? watched?" "Yes," said the old man, dryly. "We rich men with daughters can't take any chances. Of course you see this puts a different light on the whole matter." His glance never wavered from George's face. "I see nothing of the sort," cried George fiercely. "If your spy is an honest man?if a spy can be a honest man?he has told you nothing to my discredit. I may be poor, but I'm honest, and I'm decent, and, what's more, I?will?not?give?Helen?up." He-turned quickly as lie spoke the last word and started for the door. "Come back here!" roared the old man. "I've got a last word to say to you." George hesitated. This was Helen's father. He slowly turned and stepped back to the desk. The old man ran his eye up and down the manly young figure. "All I want to say is that Helen and I went over this whole matter at the breakfast table, and, as I have never refused her anything she wanted?no matter how unreasonable the want might be," and he smiled grimly, "I didn't feel like making an exception of you." The grimness of his smile faded, his eyes grew moist, and he put out his hand. "We will make her happy together," ho softly said. "There, there! Not a word, I know just what I'm giving you. You may go now. Step out in the other office and write your resignation for the bank and post it at once. Be back here for me in exactly an hour. I want you to dine with us?my son." And he faintly smiled as he bent again over his papers.?W. R. Rose, in Cleveland Plain Dealer. Which is Impossible.

On the way to and from the links It may, and often does, serve as well as when the walk or j drive have no such end, but for actual . play It is impossible and never seen. The smart May Manton example shown is cut after the latest English mnriei nnd is absolutely up-to-date in every detail. The original is made of tan colored cloth with plaid under side, but plain cloths and cheviots are quite as often seen, while light colored broadcloth makes an admirable evening wrap. The cape is circular and fitted by means of shoulder darts. The hood is graceful and carefully shaped, opening slightly at the centre back to give a pointed effect. The storm collar is cut in sections and fits snugly at the throat while it flares freely as it curves upward toward the head. Shoulder straps are arranged on the inner side which support the weight and obviate all strain. To cut this cape for a woman of medium size two aud three-eighth yards of material fifty-six inches wide will be required. Yoke Blouse Closing at Bnclc. Fancy blouses that close at the back are and will be much worn both as part of entire costumes for indoor wear and the odd bodices that find such an important place in every complete wardrobe. The dainty and attractive May Manton design illustrated in the large drawing includes sever >1 novel features and is adapted to many materials. The original is made of Nile green louisine silk, the yoke and sleeves being enriched by applied dlses fjfo o (? ? h*9 M? '? ! is a muslin that it will be low-priceu. You can Lave it by paying $7.50 for one yard! To be sure, it is double width, a good 40 inches across from selvedge to selvedge. It displays a double set of patterns. First the surface of the mousseline is llaked over with single flowers or wreaths or sprays of white blossoms, raised up as if embroidered. Over this here and there and on either side are the clusters of held flowers, j ink, blue, yellow, lilac, red and the green foliage of YOKE BJ of paune in a deeper shade and edged with a narrow fancy braid, while the undersleeves are of cream chiffon, but all soft silk and wool fabrics are appropriate. The applied dises are entirely new this season, but do not involve any excessive labor while their effect is smart In the extreme. The lining fits smoothly and snugly, but closes with the outside at the centre back. The yoke is applied over the foundation, on Indicated lines and is met by the smooth backs and full fronts. The sleeves are cut after the latest model and include full soft un3er puffs, with slightly bell-shaped over portions, the edges of which are curved to match the yoke. The stock collar Is plain and ia attached to the neck, closing with the blouse at the centre back. To cut this blouse for a woman of medium size three and a half yards of material twenty-one inches wide, three ana a quarter yards twenty-seven inches wide, two and three-quarter yards thirty-two inches wide or one and three-quarter yards forty-four inches wide will be required, with five-eighth yards twenty inches wide for undersleeves.

No wonder It is a costly fabric. The >"evr Elizabethan Raff. Although of black, instead of white, there is no question but that the new tulle or net ruffs, immensely wide and stiff, stand out about the head like the true Elizabethan ruff. At the back the ? U?i new run rises iu meet me um unu, which this winter is low. YCa cannot Tear the new ruff if your hair is dressed low. The ruff covers the lower part of the face in low extreme instances. A peculiarity of the immensely wide ruff is its lack of ends. It ties beneath the chin with two narrow black ribbons, which are quite lost to sight beneath the billowing pleats and undulating folds of the huge new ruff. Baby Cloaks. Baby cloakc have many of them t?nni? on/I o rauier utftxi irujisa imo .mu ? satin cord or piping is an almost universal finish for a plain edge or as the heading of a ruffle or lace.

White net dotted all over with tiny jet spots and with a border of black lace applied on the white ground and I heavily encrusted with jet is among the most exquisite of tbe new roDe materials. Silver Tissue Much Used. Silver tissue is being much used as a background for the fine laces and embroideries of the season. Woman's Tailored Slilrt Waist. Simple severe tailored waists are much worn and suit many materials far better than any other sort. The May Manton model shown is made of Saxony flannel, woven in Roman strips of pastel tones, one of the newest and most fashionable waisting materials, and is eminently smart, but is equally desirable for embroidered stripes, the heavier flannels, corduroy, velveteen and all the materials which call for simplicity. The original is made over a fitting lining that renders it peculiarly snug and becoming, but the waist can be made unlined whenever preferred. The foundation is fitted with single ll ' ML Si LOUSE. darts, shoulder and under-arm seams and closes at tlie centre front, uut sep * TKq lmnlr ni aruiuiy lruui luc uuiojuc. j.uv ? the waist is plain and smooth across the: shouldei-s, but drawn under Ir gathers at the waist line.

The Treatment of Floors. Perhaps one of the greatest differences between the old-time house cleaning and modern housecleaning lies in the treatment of floors. Rugs are best when it comes to cleaning. Of course, the floors must be polished. If the floors are not of hardwood, a coat of paint is the first application; after that there should be two or three coats of varnish, then a rubbing with sandpaper, and after that a good oiling and polishing. The floor is then In good condition for several months to come. There are many housekeepers who make a practice of having the floors rubbed over weekly with kerosene; but this is not cleanly, and the fact that it proves ruinous to any light gown that trails over it is argument sufficient against the practice. Painted or varnished floors may be kept in good condition by wiping with a damp cloth and then rubbing with a dry woolen cloth?this, of course, Is for floors that never become badly soiled. Kitchen or pantry floors may 1 be washed with skim milk; if very dirty, with soap and water. A scrubbing brush snould never be used on a painted or varnished floor. Dust and Disease Germs. Cleanliness and health go hand in hand, whether cleanliness and godliness do or not. The way to keep a kitchen clean is to keep it free from disease germs?that is, to keep our food which is cooked in the kitchen free from unwholesome elements, which cause ft to spoil and to be unwholesome when eaten. The clothes we wear should be brushed free from dust, because the air is full of impure germs. Those who work in dirty, dusty factories or 3ther places like them should have their clothes beaten every day after they come home. Grease spots should be carefully cleaned off working Dlothes, because such grease spots hold dust, and may become culture places for impurities received from the air. If proper precautions are exercised auu xue iiouso is i^eyt us :-lean as it is possible to keep it the health of the inmates will be good. There is a great difference between a thing being scientifically clean and ulean in the ordinary understanding of the term. A house filled with the germs of tuberculosis may be clean to all appearances, and one which has just been disinfected scientifically may have indelible stains of previous wear and tear on the walls and carpets, yet one is a wholesome dwelling and the other is not clean.?New York Tribune. 1 Beet Cups?Select even-sized beets, 1 boil, skin and put into a mild spiced . vinegar. After a few hours remove, out out a round well in the top, fill with chopped nuts or celery and a mayonnaise dressing. Serve on ' olanched lettuce leaves. By picking ' and seeding young beets now one may | have this salad at any time during the winter. ? Sorrel and Spinach Soup?To one ; pint of sorrel add otfe-half a handful ? of spinach and six lettuce leaves. - Cook them in a tablespoonful of butter until tender. Add one quart of boiling water, one teaspoon of salt, a dash of pepper, and just before serving add one egg well beaten into half a gill of cream. This is an excellent soup for invalids. Damson Plum Jam ? Tut on plums to boil with enough water to prevent scorching. When they are boiled very 6oft run the fruit through a colander to remove seeds. Weigh the pulp and for every pound of fruit add one pound ot sugar. Put info a covered stone crock and bake in the oven two or threa hours, stirring it up occasionally from the bottom. Baking gives a certain rich flavor. Creole Corn Bread?Into oco quart of sour milk stir enough meal (using one part white tlour to iwo of cornmeal), to make a stiff batter.
