"I can tell you how you can be a fairy." said her mother, "and no one will know who you are or anything but that a fairy made a little girl very happy." "Oh. tell me, tell me, mother," said Molly, clapping her hands and dancing up and down in front of her mother. "I cannot tell you if you really wish to be a good fairy," her mother re plied, "but I will show you. Run and tell James to bring the auto around to the door and the get on your hat." Molly did as her mother told her and In a few minutes they were spinning along the cool roads toward the hot city. "I do not think this Is a very pretty place," said Molly, as James drove up to a row of tenement houses. "Fairies cannot find their work in pretty places," replied her mother. Molly got out of the auto and fol lowed her mother into one of the houses and up a flight of stairs. Her mother knocked at a door and a weak voice said, Come ins$ Molly's mother opened the door and there on a little bed in one corner Molly saw the figure of a girl about her age. Her face was very white and there were dark circles under her eyes. "How are you today. Anna?" asked Molly's mother. "The doctor says I am better." re plied the little girl, "but it is so hot here that I shall not get well until Fall." "This is my little girl. Molly," said Molly's mother, leading Molly toward the bed. "This is Anna Watson. Molly. Tou sit here and talk with her while I go with James and get some ice to make Anna a cool drink." Molly did not know what to say to this little girl at first, but Anna asked If it was hot at her house and that started the conversation, and soon Molly found herself asking how long Anna had been sick -nd where her mother and father were and why she did not go Into the country, where it was cool. The two little girls chatted as though they had been acquainted for a long time Instead of a few minutes, and Molly learned that Anna had been sick three months, that her father was dead and her mother had to work all day in a shop or they would not have a place to live, and that they never had ice unless someone gave it to them, only when Anna was very sick; then the doctor said she must have It or she would not get well. Molly's mother came back with the ice and made a cool drink for Anna and put Borne fruit on a dish by the bed, then she had James bring In a box from a store and wrap the Ice in a pa per and put it In the box. "Oh, this Is Just like a fairy story." said Anna, when she saw the drink and the fruit. "I was Just wishing that J could have something nice and cold. Thank you so much. And if It isn't too hot up here I wish you would come again some time." she said to Molly. Molly told her she would come the next time her mother came. Molly did not have much to say dur ing the ride home, but -hen they were sitting on the cool porch she said: "I suppose if Anna could be in a place where it is cool as it is here she would set woli sooner." 1 jffiffiffliffijB5 'siSSBSsSfSlfBEBBE' kBrB Upper Miss Margaret Ferguson, Los Angeles Girl, Who Is Visiting Cousin, Mlae-Lenette Ferguson.

"I will tell you a plan, and if you -lsh you can be a good fairy and una will never know the name of the fairy," said her mother. "You have a dollar a week for spend ing money, and you have ?25 saved." Yes, said Alouy, out. momer. ui $25 I am saving for my watch and fob and father said he would give me $25 more if I saved it." "I know that," her mother replied, "but fairies do not have watches, and I am just telling you how you can be a fairy. Do you wish to hear the rest of my plan?" "Yes, mother, please tell me the rest." "I thought you might tell your father you had saved the $25 and ask him for the $25 he promised. Then without saying a wofd to anyone, we will go to father's office and get his "stenog rapher to write a letter for us on the typewriter telling Anna that a fairy heard her wish for the country and in the envelope is the money to pay her way. and that the same fairy was sending all the food to give her strength, so that she would be strong enough to go. "Oh. that will be splendid, said Mol ly, who had quite forgotten the watch in the excitement of being a fairy, and when her father came home she asked for the money, which he readily gave. Two weeks after this Molly went again with her mother to see Anna; who was going to the country the next week. "I am so glad you came before I went away." said Anna, "for I wanted to tell you about a real fairy. I used to think they were only in story books, but I had a letter from one. Do you want to read It?" Molly said the did. and Anna handed her the letter Molly had sent. Of course, she read it, and Anna said: "I shall always keep that, for I do not be lieve there is another little girl who can show a letter from a fairy."

The top coats that have been shown at the various openings here have been very satisfac tory.. Cheruit, especially, showed some in dull colors, full at the lower edge and broad of shoulder, that were ad mirable. ; There has been a tendency in the coats of the last two or three years to produce a narrow-shouldered look. This cramped shoulder, tn spite of the flaring hem, was absent in the Cheruit coats and, in fact, most of tho coats of the season produce the effect of breadth at the shoulders. A welcome change it is, too. In some of the coats the sleeves are set in, but the kimono cut is followed In many of them. It is simply some new twist, a greater generosity with material, perhaps, that gives the new look. Cheviot, tweed and other rough fab rics are used for top coats for motor ing, traveling and sports. For after noon wear broadcloth and woolen duve tyn come in for much use. The even ing coats, that are really classified as topcoats, are made of satin and velvet, brocade and various kinds of silk. Most of the new top coats are made without a belt, but some are loosely belted well below the waist. Afternoon coats rjf broadcloth often have a wide, soft, loose girdle of satin which is run through inch-wide straps of the cloth and is fastened in the front or at the side under a big metal or braid orna ment. Collars and Linings. Standing collars of the fabric of the coat are, perhaps,- smartest for top coats for rough wear. Fur collars are much used in afternoon coats, fur col lars that are either flat or rolling. The coats usually button close about the throat, & feature to be regarded with approval now that cool weather is in sight. One interesting collar arrangement is shown on a tweed coat. It is a broad green velvet collar that lies losely over the shoulders at the sides and in the back. On one side is a little tab on which is a big button, and on the other side is a corresponding tab through which a buttonhole is worked. When this coat is worn in cold weather the wide, Eoft velvet collar is crushed about the neck and buttoned securely. On some of the new coats and on many afternoon and evening capes there are high collars of the directoire cut. On one evening cape of purple satin a little chain made of satin links was looped from one side of the collar to the other under a jeweled ornament. There is a good deal of speculation about lining's. Self-colored satins are used & good deal. Figured silks are used to some extent in evening coats, and capes are lined with figured chif fon. This, of course. Is only suitable for thin coats of satin, or heavier ones of such rich fabric as metallic bro cades. A silk with two-toned stripes In the color of the coat is also used for lining, and satin in a contrasting color has not been discarded. By the way, the tunics of some of the new velvet suits in dark color are lined with bright satin blue, cerise or golden yellow. HOT BREAD FOR BREAKFAST. Brisk September air whets the appe tite for a substantial breakfast, and the family have begun to clamor for hot breads. There is always a certain dread to the housekeeper about start ing in on a round of griddle cakes, waffles and raised biscuit, and when the annual question is put to her, "Isn't it about time we had some hot bread?" she longs for a variation of light rolls and muffins to bridge the few months until really cold weather sets in. Here are some recipes which are easily prepared and can bo cooked immediately. Spice and fruit buns are particularly appetizing in the early Fall. Spanish bun One cup of sugar, rour tablespoonf uls of melted butter, half a cup of New Orleans molasses, two eggs and one yolk of egg, one cup of sour milk, two cups of flour, one cup or seeded raisins. Add one teaspoonful of cinnamon and the same of allspice, soda, vanilla and half a teaspoonful of cloves. Bake in a loaf. Quick cinnamon bun Rub one tablespoonful of lard into one quart of flour and add one teaspoonful of salt and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Stir in quickly half a pint of milk. Koli nut in a thin sheet, cover with a thick layer of sugar, another of currants, and then a sprinkling of cinnamon. Roll up and cut into buns about two inches long. Stand these on their ends in a greased pan and bake 25 minutes in a quick oven. Fit rolls Sift together one quart oi whole-wheat flour, half a teaspoonful of salt and two teaspoonfuls of bak ing powder. Rub into this one table spoonful of butter and one egg whipped light. Make a soft dough by working one and a half cups ot muK into me flour gradually, but do not allow it to become too wet. Roll out quickly half an inch thick and cut into oval pieces. Brush with melted butter. Chop 10 figs very fine and spread over half of each roll. Fold over the sides of the roll and seal together wtih beaten white of egg. Bake for 20 minutes in a hot oven. Sally Lunn Three cups of flour, one cud of sugar, one cup cornmeal, half a cup of butter, one and a half cups of milk, four eggs and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Coffee gems Four eggs, one cup granulated sugar, two teaspoonfuls ex tract of coffee, one cup flour. Beat eggs in a saucepan and add the extract and sugar; beat rapidly together over boil ing water until it is warm; remove from fire, beat for 15 minutes, add flour, sifted, and have gem pans ready brushed with suet and sprinkled with a little granulated sugar. Fill pans half with batter and bake In a quick oven for 15 minutes. Copyright, 19M by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate DJvoreedlife JfelenffessanpRiesse. Copyright The Adams Newspaper Service. The Handwriting of Fate. (Copyright The Adam ii-wspaper Service.) MARIAN WINTHROP reached with shaking hands for the letter from Mrs. Challoner. An almost psychic premonition flashed upon her as she picked it up, a clairvoyant glimpse of its contents' not altogether accountable for by Challoner's manner of prp ducing it. "Read it," he said. Marian unfolded the characteristic ally thin sheets of correspondence paper destined for journey over seas. She regarded the refined vigor of the handwriting, which fitted perfectly into her mental pictures of her companion's absent wife whom she had never seen. Dipping into the communication, she was aware with a strange start that she was perusing the writing of the hand of fate. "Dear Charles," the letter began. "I want to say a number of things in this letter that I haven't aniy right to withhold from you any longer, al though I cannot help fancying that you may already have guessed them. I shall be brief and to the point. "I have seen, and of course you have seen, that wo were approaching the parting of the ways. We face not a theory, but a fact. The condition exists and there is nothing left for us but to act accordingly. "In short, I no longer love you the way I did. nor do you me. When I left for Europe I knew, and I imagine you knew, that it was not au revoir, but good-by. We had drifted so far away from each other spiritually that the state of marriage between us had come to be characterized by a certain de gree of sheer absurdity. We have no right to let it go on. "If I thought that these words might make you feel badly, I doubt whether I could have brought myself to writing them. But I think I understand. You will be happier and more successful without me to drag you down. It is part of me to want things that you don't care anything about. Alone, I may be able to find them. Together we can do nothing but hamper one an other, without doing each other any good. "I am going to depend upon your knowledge of the law to find a way for us to separate. There is no immediate rush. Do so whenever you can con veniently get at it. If I remain away the charge of desertion can be easily brought, I presume. I should appre ciate it if you would let me bring the suit. That, I believe, is usually con ceded to a woman under circumstances like this. I wish you all the luck, hap piness and good fortune In the world, Charles. I hope there may be no anger between us over this matter, which, in deed, was inevitable. We shall both be much better off when all is ar ranged. Let us think kindly of each other. - It goes without saying that my respect and admiration of you have never faltered." The letter dropped from Marian's fin gers. "What a strange, cold-blooded docu ment," she murmured. "But honest and courageous," added Challoner. "How many wives, similarly situated, would have the courage to do as she has done?" Tomorrow Journey's End. Snapshots 3arbara Boyd., The Investment in the Joys ot Home. "I SUPPOSE you will get an invita tion to Alice Hayden's wedding," said the Woman From Across the Street as she asked for the loan of a preserving kettle. "Tea. replied the Neighbor, getting her big, white-lined kettle from the cellar-way and mechanically wiping it with a damp cloth, though she knew it was perfectly clean. "I am looking for ward to the wedding with a great deal of pleasure. It will be a very pretty affair, I imagine. I think Alice is making a good match." "A good match!" sighed the Woman From Across the Street. "I am begin ning to wonder if any marriage is a good match.

A great special showing of new Trimmed Hats at $5 continues this week. See our windows. study than they do. before taking the step. When I hear a girl is to be mar ried, I feel sornetimes almost like warn ing her against it." "But why?" asked the Neighbor, sur prised. "You are not so desperately unhappy." "Married life is so monotonous, so narrow," said the Woman From Across the Street, dispiritedly. "It is the same old thing from one year's end to an other, sweep and clean and cook and wash and sew. You never seem to gat anywhere." "But you are making a home," re plied the Neighbor. "That Is getting to a very good somewhere, it seems to me." The Woman From Across the Street shrugged. "Oh, I don't know. You'd have a home anyway." "I don't know about that," replied the Neighbor with spirit "And what kind of home would It be if somebody else made It? At the start, making a home may seem an unwel come task. But the time comes with every woman, I think, when she wants a home. And she wants a home that is hers. I don't mean one that merely belongs to her because she has paid money for it; but one that both ex presses and fits her tastes, one that responds to her needs almost like some thing living. And when she has made such a home, I tell you sne has been making a good investment of her time and energy. It may seem hard work and unprofitable work at first, but she gets her profits later. You don t get profits on anything if you don't put work and thought and interest into it. And it isn't really hard work If you know how and enjoy doing it." 'I don t see how any one can enjoy sweeping and cooking and mending forever," complained the Woman From Across the Street. 'I enjoy a bright clean rug more than I do a dingy, dirty one," smiled the Neighbor. "I enjoy a shining window more than I do one I can scercely see through. I enjoy a couch with a lot of soft, punchy sofa cushions I can snug gle under my head more than I do a couch without any. I enjoy clear, ten der Jelly I have made, more than some tough, lustreless stuff I buy. I think there are lots of things to enjoy about a house when you put the things into it that are enjoyable. As I say. making a home is in the nature of making an investment. Only, the work is more fun and it brings better returns than making financial investments. Just think, if a woman goes to worK to make the kind of home she wants, even if she has to do It slowly, she can have it as bright and cheery and flowery and cosy and snug and warm as she wants. There needn't be a spot about it as big as a five-cent piece that doesn't express beauty and comfort. I love to think of a home like that and I love to make It The Woman From Across tne htreet SENATOR'S WIFE DECLARES AKOZ CURED STUBBORN Mrs. A. L.

Get some snowy little curtains. If you can't do big things, do little ones. No doubt you have an Ideal home In your mind. Begin right now working to make that home a reality.
