Income of about $200 a year.
Flo tried to make a joke of It. but

and each of the girls was obliged to
contribute a garment, a pair of shoes
or a hat to make Mrs. Yoakum'a toilet

the laugh with which the bandsone
VI Flo managed to greet each of their
successive hardships. They lived in
t dlagy two-story house that would
hare been as squalid within as withtout
If It had not been for the scrupulous
Cleanliness and Incesssnt industry
of the two girls. They kept everything
as clean as a new pin, but despite their
gentle ways and everlasting care, the
old tapestry on the parlor floor waa
I . mapped and diagrammed into threadft
bare Islands, canals and estuaries. The
A . old hair-cloth furniture, besides being

K mother and daughter, nor yet the two
fi sisters, go oat together. They hadn't

I wis out of the question?that Is, male

Marie were very pretty, pride reV

after poor Marie was debarred from

n When Mr. Yoakum died he left nothif
tog but his Insurance policy for 15000.
I It would have been a fortune for bis
1 economical wife and daughters, but the
W Insurance company in which the policy
was written became involved about the
H time the Yoakum claim was presented,
H and the Yoaknms knew no more than
Ik that a receiver or something of that
sort had been appointed, and that there
R wasn't much chance of their getting
anything out of the policy. For a few
V months they had cheered one snother
K with vague hopes that there must be a
settlement, but to all their letters, cornSi
plaints and urgings not a word of
m tangibly encouragement came from the
n receiver. Then they sold their piano.

8 to look for position*. Mrs. Yoakum
crimped tod saved in tbe kitchen, tbe
girls mended, darned, patched, washed,
Ironed. scrubbed and slaved to keep oat
of debt When tbe roomer. an elderly
bookkeeper, usually very punctual, was
a day late with his weekly rent, the
household menage was immediately
and unavoidably contracted.
One morning, having discovered that
the last milk ticket was gone and that
there wasn't a cent of money in the
boose, Flo encountered the milkman at
the back door and told him, with a
gweet smile, that they didn't want any
an!lk. This was not a falsehood, since
* what they really wanted was cream,
bat It didn't help to make the black
coffee and dry toast any more palatable.
While Mrs. Toakum and her two
i daughters were engaged in a kind of
I hysterical effort to make light of this,
the most frugal meal they bad yet partaken
of, there was a load knock at the
front door. Flo dropped her ragged
napkin and ran to the window. She
should hare gone to the door direct,
hot it was too late for the postman,
and?well, pro ad folks In sach cases as
hers hare to be diplomatic about admitting
visitors. There was a carriage
at the corb! She flashed back to the

pot her hack hair to rights, and with a
flatter at her heart, opened the door.
"Does the widow of tbe late Franklin
Took am live here?** asked a very stately,
and prosperous looking gentleman,
raising his silk hat.
"Yes, sir," gasped Flo, hopes that she
dare not encourage rising high within
her breast, "did yon wish to see her.

Flo, almost choked with Joy. "I think

"Yet. I must see her." he said,
watching the girl let up the shades a
little aad glancing round at the respectable
wretchedness of the poor
room.
Flo mounted the stairs In about four

With the'glad news. "Com? to settle

talking breathlessly while she arrayc-d
the speechless mother in the combined
finery of the whole family, poor Flo
and the less demonstrative Marie were
already imagining the comforts they
would have for poor mammn. the
"start" they would get in business and
the foundations for fortunes they
would lay upon the |S000 which was.
they felt sure, already within their
zrasn.
If they could not keep away from tbo J
stair rail while their mother was in |
the parlor, if they listened silently trying
to catch a word here and there, it
must not be charged that they were ill
bred. They had tasted neither butter,
milk nor meat that day. and how tired
they were of the struggle to maintain
body and spirit without tears and without
remonstrance. At lost they beard
the voices come nearer and they
stepped behind the balustrade.
"I'm afraid that will bo About all for
awhile," the man was saying. "But
the next payment will be smaller at
all events. Sorry to trouble you. Mrs.
Yoakum, but all tbis red tape must be
gone through. Good day."
The door was hardly closed when
Flo and Marie pounced upon their
mother with, "Did be pay?" and "How
mucbl8 it?" Their mother ran Into the
parlor, and. sitting upon the squeaky
sofa, smiling mysteriously, said:
"Guess."
"Four thousand?"
"No."
"One thousand?"
^No," and Mm. Yoakum hold cut her
open band. There were sixty-five cents

"That's our share of the 'available

lond and long.
"Gimme a quarter of it. ma. honey,"
she cried at last. "I'll get half a pound

Th? G?ra? of Utefal Invention*.
Once In London I was astonished to
see a man, after writing something
with a lead-pencil, search through his
pockets for a piece of India rubber
with which to erase an error. He bad
lost It and could only smudge the paper
by marking out what he bad written.
1 said to him: "Why don't you aftach
the rubber to the pencil? Then you
couldn't lose Jt.'* He jumped ni my
suggestion, took out a patent for the
rubber attachment to pencils and made
money..
When Rowland Hill, the great English
postal reformer, introduced penny
postage into England he found It necessary
to employ many girls to clip
off the stamps from great sheets. 1
took a sheet of paper to him and
showed him bow easy It would be by
perforation to tear off the stamps as
needed. He adopted my idea; and now
a single machine does the whole work.
I noticed one day in England a lot
of "flunkeys" rushing up to the carriages
of titled ladles and busying
themselves adjusting steps, which
were separate from the carriage and
bad been taken along with great inconvenience.
I said to myself, why not
have the steps attached? and I spoke
about the Idea to others. It was taken
up and carried out. Now every carriage
has steps attached as a part of
the structure.
In 1850 I was with James McHenry
in Liverpool, and in trying to pour
some Ink from a bottle into the inkwell
the bottle was upset and tbe ink
spilled all over tbe desk. Tbis was
because too much Ink came from tbe
moutb. "Give tbe bottle a nose like a
milk pitcher,'" I said; "then you can
pour tbe ink into tbe well easily."
Holden, of Liverpool, took up the idea
and patented it and made a fortune
out of it.?From George Francis Train's

Just now the tendency is to weal
hats more off the face, showing a considerable
amount of forehead and coiffure
The desired effect is easily arrived
at by means of a high bandeau.
Otherwise the hats are flat, and the
most chic are those with very little
trimming. The best headgear is that <
which is difficult of achievement, and |
the hats with little decoration must i
be perfect In curve, with clear, bold j
outlines?in fact, exact copies of the

most artistic, as may be gathered from
the fact that Gainsborough and Romney
hats always hold their own.
Freaeh Knots Between.
Absolutely rich and attractive, though '
quite plain as far as showiness goes, is j
a trimming scheme just noted. To I
start nt the foundation the dress Itself ,
is of deep blue velveteen. It is |
strapped with satin duchesse in the (
same shade. Now for the part In ques- j
tion. It fuces the fronts and the shawl
collar. The facing is of the satin and
is edged with seven rows of machine :
stitching in the same shade. These ;
are seven-eighths of an inch apart. Between
each row. at intervals of three-1
quarters of an inch, is a row of French ,
knots done in silk of exactly the same i
color. These are invariably rich, partly j
because of the shadowy depth suppled j
by each and every one. and partly be* !
cause this sort of embroidery cannot :
but be rich. The effect would be !
equally good in all black or brown.
While many would prefer the stitch- i
' ?? ttnA irnnti in vhlio ftp imnip other

as rich; it would be more showy, j
though. Would not a white broad* |
cloth be charming done in this fashion?
