EMILY DOBSON. te ti Great-Aunt Eunice's garden is one 11 of the dearest places in the world. ^ rhere is nothing modern about it, a not even the tiniest blade of grass? sverything is so delightfully old- if fashioned. The flowers and shrubs ire like pretty, demure lassies and ai- ~n ways make my up-to-date frocks look sut of place. That is why, when I v went to spend an hour among the g, hollyhocks and primroses, I always ;o first to that other dearest place, p jreat-aunt's old room, and don one t] >f the pretty old-time frocks from the ^ :edar chest. Then I feel quite at. aome among the dainty flowers, as :hough I had inherited not her name b Uone, but her personality as well. ? There is a fragrance from these ^ Dosies such as no modern flower, lowever fair, can boast. The miglonette and sweet lemon-verbena t{ scent the air, while the tiny ladies' C( lelight and the marigolds turn their laces up in such friendly fashion. ?g Though the garden is crowded with S( :hese and many others, there are two c, vhich never grew in this enchanted .c ?pot until after the tragedy of Aunt ^ Eunice's life. Then she planted the tj ove-lies-bleeding and the mourning jride. But before they bloomed a ^ second time, Great-Aunt Eunice left a ;hem to the care of others and car led her sorrow to an early grave. jl It seems a cruel thing that when w he Hendersons and Withrows had Q ived for generations side by side like >ne loving family, their first disagreenenti should have come just in time o wreck the happiness of two young jf ives. Such an undignified quarrel u or such a paltry cause?a few rods >f ground. Everybody says there w nust have been a deeper cause be- a. lind so flimsy an excusc, but no one ieems able to make it. ^ The "debatable ground," oddly J nough, was the garden, the favorite ir rysting place of the lovers, sweet ei *ose Henderson, as Great-Aunt Rose Dunice was once called, and manly C( David Withrow. At first they laughed ^ it the trouble, but when old Daniel iVlthrow sternly ordered his son to a, >reak his engagement to "Hender- cj ion's girl," and great-grandfather old his only daughter?with head al tverted that he might not see the p >ain in the eyes lie loved?that she night consider the betrothal at an jnd, then, and only then, did they q ealize that the quarrel went too leep for laughter. Aunt Eunice made her only protest. 'Father, you have no right?" and, inable to say more, fled to her room, p; rhere was one more meeting among n; he roses, where they vowed eternal n idelity and undying love, but it was o heir last, for within the week David o IVithrow sailed for England on busi- b less for his father. h For a year he stayed, then came T vord that be was setting out for d lome; but hard upon this news came 1c >ther, "the Dorothea lost at sea and s< ill on board went down." f? It was then that great-aunt planted h :he love-lies-bleeding and the mourn- p ng bride, then quietly asked that she b )e called Eunice and not Rose. ii Perhaps you'll think from all this e :hat I am a mopy sort of person, a! atner incnnea to soutuae ana meian- v :holia; but I'm not. On the contrary, o [ love tennis, and think golf is just fi splendid; besides. I can row and swim tl ind fence, and?well, I think I am e lust an ordinary, modern girl, healthy p in body and mind. And it does not " prove me less so that I love the dear is little garden, now doubly dear, for b the strangest thing has happened. a One evening, just at early twilight, b t stole into the tiny sweet-scented ^ garden to spend an hour with the dear, old-fashioned flowers. I was wearing great-aunt's rose-sprigged gown, and on impulse had pulled ? loose a thick, brown curl that now lay Dn my shoulder. I stepped slowly, bending often to touch and smell some favorite blossom, and at last stopped to tuck among the laces at my throat a few shy rosebuds, when a slight sound caught my ear. I turned quickly and faced a figure ^ which I recognized at once. I had seen too often the portrait of David ^ Withrow in Great-Aunt Eunice's room? ^ not to know that this was he?a spirit from the past. For a moment I gazed silently at this spirit of gallant bearing and ancient dress; then at the j, same instant, boldness seized him, and nanic caught me. For, as he . strode forward with outstretched 1 hands. I stepped back into the shrubbery and fled. When, that night at dinner, daddy i quietly remarked that "Old David r Withrow's grand-nephew and name- 1 sake is back after all these years of 1 schooling." sudden warmth flooded 1 my face and neck. t For a week I dreamed, in spite of j ?? I? J had ridiculed other girls for en~erfining. Then I deliberately passed by the gorgeous costume which had be?n prepared for me to wear to the Hunters' mask ball. In its place 1 j lonned the little rose-sprigged gowD .vith its modest laces, pulled out a :url to fall on my shoulder, and :ucked tiny rosebuds in those laces md in my hair. Only orie form I saw that night, he form of David Withrow in his anient dress and powdered hair. And know now there was only one whom le saw. For me?for us?there was | >ne most memorable moment of that i iever-to-be-forgotten night; the mo- | aent when he took my hand and drew ne into the rose room. There in the nidst of their beauty and fragrance le undid my tiny mask and cast it iside, as he had already discarded v lis own. For an instant he stood ,nd gazed into my ey^s with reverent ove in his. t Then?ah, then?Rose Eunice was j r n her lover's arms, and his lips were j >n mine'fn a first long k.is&.?Boston j a >OSt. ! ^ 11 THOSE FOREIGN LABELS. 1 t .'he Way They Are Pasted on Lug* ^ gage Betrays Owners to the Wise. Many tourists consider themselves he chief sufferers through the tip- j ling system, but they are not the ^ ictims. When they have really un- ^ erstood the position of employer and mployed, especially in tourist towns, j. hey will probably agree that the r ictim is the servant, who is engaged j. d work for the hotel keeper and paid t a many instances by the guests. In hotels where the proprietor pays * 1 X.,11 mnivne on/3 tfioro I is empiuves iuu v>agco uuu ?uv*w re few?the service may be fairly atisfactory, and It might be more so ! all guests would refrain from tiping, but as soon as one visitor comlences this sort of bribery he is very oon specially^attended to, and other isitors consequently lose their fair hare of attention. In hotels where full wages are not aid the best service is bestowed on hose guests who give gratuities, or I d rho are likely to do so, and this the j t mploye knows from the marks on | [, he luggage (they may be chalked on j t y the servants at the hotel last vis- j n ;ed) or the particular manner in | t 'hich the last hotel's label has been u asted on a trunk. In hotels where no wages are paid > those servants who come in direct antact with guests the service is per;ct if a tip has been or likely to be iven. If there is any fault with the srvlce the guest is probably the luse of it. Neglect to answer bells i the chambermaid's simple way of inting that her wages depend on ps and that she requires a bribe.

Thcon nnH Ppppdom. Ib3en seems to be regarded by the 1 inti-suffragists as their own peculiar iroperty. When any one nowadays is mnounced to talk on Ibsen and worn- < in it is sure to be about anti-suffrage, 1 md so it was yesterday when Miss Sleanor Ford expounded, reports the \'ew York Tribune, "Ibsen on the freedom of Woman's Will," in ,a itudio in the Carnegie Hall building, n a dreamy, dull green atmosphere, nduced by lowered curtains and ilosed windows, thirteen women and me sby young man listened to the ecture, which wasn't so tranquil as t might have teen, owing to the fact hat a near-Caruso in the music studio text door had taken that time for jrushing up his minor scales. Miss Ford said she didn't know low many of her listeners were sufragists; sae herself had reached .the ioul-plane where she knew there were 10 such tilings as suffrage.and antiiuffrage, but not all women were on ;hat plane, and some women were naking a lot of trouble these days )y trying to exercise their wills like nen. "It is much more dangerous for a voman to exercise her will than for a nan," said Miss Ford earnestly, "Men ire so busy doing useful, mechanical ;hings, building houses and bridges ind keeping the world going, that ;hey can't do the harm women can." Then Misr. Ford talked about Elida, [bsen's "Lady of the Sea," r.nd explained that Dr. Wonders calm, masculine way of proving to Elida that she didn't want to leave him for the stranger was symbolic of the way the men of to-day are settling the woman suffrage question. "All over America," she said, "wise men are saying to women: 'Very cvell, if you want the responsibility Df the ballot, try it.' And wnen :he women hear this they know they ire afraid to try." *. "Ow-ow-wow-wow-wow," remarked the near-Caruso next door in a descending scale. And a suffragist in a rear seat looked as if it did her a lot jf good to hear her sentiments thus expressed. "\Vomen Do the Posing. The hostess who enjoys a social affair entailin? no brain fag should issue invitations for a portrait party.

The new coat buttons are gorgeous, depending upon enamel, jewels and brilliant color effects for their beauty. Softness and fullness m attractive lines result from the shirring that has again invaded the realm of dress. Belts are worn in a very high, round line, their great length making them take a quaint, short-waisted effect. Square and oblong buckles, huge in size and covered with-spangled or jeweled fabrics, are seen on many of the new gowns. Among the new shapes in turbans are the Rembrandtr the Henry III., the Hussar, the De Stael, the Drum Major and the Napoleon. Bedroom slippers, crocheted of the heavy mercerized cotton, are most attractive. The changeable cottons are especially attractive. Parasols will still have the very becoming Directoire handle, and are to be quite as elaborate as ever. The canopy top is to be popular. Lingerie garments are ^narrower than formerly. Every possible pleat or gather is omitted and the lines closely follow those of the outer dress. Blouses of figured net of black and colors are made up over white silk linings.

The colored lace veils which, have been worn to some extent the past season, will continue in favor. The white laco onas, however, have had their day. There is at present in Paris a vogue for spiral effects and cross bands, and especially does this idea seem exemplified in afternoon and evening gowns. Buttons will be used less for trimming, but more than ever for fastenings. An innovation will be the trimmed buttonholes, fancy braid being used for this purpose.. Anything Russian seems to be in style. The new Russian collars are of white linen, hand-embroidered, or of a fancy white pique, piped with a color to match the gown. An attractive hat is that made with a crown of embroidered muslin, while the brim is of some fine Italian straw The sole trimming is a crush band or a few simple bows of black velvet ribbon.

As he turned, the old ' gentleman, a gruff, stout fellow, I said: I "Young man, do you know what , time it is?" i The bashful youth got off the chair j nervously. "Yes, sir," he replied. "I ; was just going." I - He went into the hall without any delay and took his hat and coat. The girl's father followed him. As the callrr reached for the doorknob, the old gentleman again asked him if he knew what time it was. "Yes, sir," was the youth's reply. "Good night!" And he left without waiting to put his coat on. After the door had closed the old j gentleman turned to the girl. "What's the matter with that fellow?" he asked. "My watch ran down this afternoon and I wanted him ! to tell me the time, so that I could sst it."?Denver Post. I ' The Inquisitive Juror.
