Wider Skirts Not In Sight Rough
Crash Gowns.
There is Dot the . slightest hint of
wider skirts. Indeed, skirts are more
tapering than ever, and, though dra
peries re being introduced by most of
the couturiers, the fabrics are so soft
and clinging and the petticoats so few
that the skirt reveals -the lines of the
figure even more definitely than did
the straight bolster slip model of the
winter.
Velvet and silk are modishly combin

It is said that love laughs at lock
smiths. Verily love laughs at pretty"
much all efforts to separate those he
would bring together. He laughs at
distance, at poverty, at homeliness, at
pride. In my case he laughed at watch
fulness that is, I managed to commu
nicate with my love, who was watched
by her mother for the express purpose
of preventing my doing so.
' Helen my Helen there is only one
Helen for me in the world was an
heiress and was to be given only to a
husband who could match her fortune
with one of his own. Helen was at an
age where the feminine heart is easily
moved when I was thrown in her way.
I was young myse!f. too young to con
sider her fortune. I was altogether ab
sorbed in herself. It would not have
made any difference to me if she hadn't
a cent, and 1 don't suppose she stopped
to consider whether I was rich or poor.
The only spur for both of us was that
we were not expected to love each
other. ,
We were conscious of the fact that
Helen's mother did not leave us alone
together a moment. I suppose she real
ized that her daughter, like most girls
of her age. was ready' to fall in love
with the first young man with whom
she was brought into contact and the
mother did not propose to take any
chances. Circumstances placed me un
der the same roof with them for a
week's vacation, and during that time
I was to be given no time to work up
a love affair.
Helen was the most obedient, de
mure, retiring creature in the world.
fTo look at berwhen her mother was
present and she was always present
one wouldn't suppose butter would
melt in her month. The first evening
we were together the three of ns play
ed cards. The second evening- -I was
out most of the day the mother read
to us from not a love story. - Oh. no.
There was not a bit of love in the
story, nor was It In Helen's and my
glances that is, we were unconscious
that it was. What was -read to us
was a report of missionary work in
India.
By the time the third evening cauie
around the lady, not having not iced
any evidences of interest between heP
daughter and me. was content to oc
cupying herself with some sewing and
permitted us to talk to each other.
took up a book from the table, near
which we all sat. It was a. work call
ed "Letters to Young People." 1
glanced over a few pages and spoke
of how helpful such a book would be
to so many growing into manhood and
womanhood, entering upon the mo-it
critical period of their lives without
the valuable experience of their elders.
In a letter upon "Obedience" I left
the imprint of my thumbnail upon th
two words "sweet" and "heart" and,
handing the book to Helen, asked her
If she did not think the advice given
in. the letter very well expressed. She
took the book and presently returned
it to me open at a letter on "Filial He
sponsibility." I looked-for thumbnail
marks and found them. They read,
"Am I really that to you?"
The good mother sat quietly over hi?r
work, well content with the way she
was keeping two tender vines from
intertwining, while we were writing
our cipher love messages. They were
very short and very simple, nothing
like the . protestations of lovers in
books, but there was In them the very
honey of love for us. However, we
dared not work our scheme long lest
the watcher's attention be excited. At
10 o'clock sharp Helen was ordered
up to bed and I, having no way to
amuse myself below, went to my
room.
I sat up till midnight writing on the
backs of my visiting cards I had
with me. in letters large enough to be
ead across a room, love messages to
be used the next evening. When that
evening arrived and we assembled iu
the library I said I felt dull and would
amuse. myself with a book. 1 found
the best light behind the mother.
though I faced the daughter. We had
scarcely got comfortably settled be
fore I whipped out my cards and held
rne after another so that Helen could
see it Her blushes soon frightened
me off. however, but not before I hai
communicated the fact that I would
love her for ever and ever and if I lost
her I would perish.
I found seven days quite enough to
arrange an elopement. During this
time 1 had never been alone with the
girl a- minute and had never spoken
a word of love to her. True. I had
nee taken a fearful risk. When we
were passing out to dinner we drop
ped behind her mother, and I seized
the opportunity to take a kiss. That
kiss, though hasty, was nectar for the
gods, the first sip of wine, the acme
of bliss.
Well, the upshot of it all was that
'at the end of the week we were both
missing. We went to a clergyman,
were married and returned to my
wife's home. Her mother looked at us
In wonder. The first words she otter
ed were. "How in the world did yon do
the courting?"
She was obliged to make tbe best of
it The marriage turned out no worse
and no better than the majority. But
that was luck.
Years after our marriage we con
fessed to my mother-in-law how we
had begun our courtship by pressing
our thumb nails under the words to
make a message and continued it by
my exhibiting cards behind her back
with love Words written on them.

o'clock to midday. The governor was
equal to the occasion. He addressed
an official communication to the con
