Bubbles didn’t care whether it was
appropriate or not; she wanted it. and
she was saving up her money to get it.
Every morning when she went to the
store she found the girls talking of
their summer hats.
“What kind are you going to have?"
they would ask her, and Bubbles
would laugh—the gay bubbling laugh
that had given her her nickname—and
would say, “Wait and see, girls; wait
and see.”
“Oh. piffle!" one of them said on a
certain June morning. ”1 dou’t believe
you’re going to get a hat.”
“Wait and see; wait and see.” said
Bubbles provokingiy.
And then after the store was closed
she went around the corner and looked
at the hat with the white feather.
The price was in pit.in sight—slo.
Bubbles earned $4 a week. Out of
that she paid her aunt S2.HO for hoard
Fifty cents went for car fare, ai.d the
rest she had for herself. Since last
summer she had managed to save
$9.50, and the other fifty would add the
complete amount necessary to buy the
hut with the white feather.
She decided to tell Alice Forbes
about it.
Alice was at the ribbon counter,
while Bubbles sold notions. Their ac
quaintance rose from the fact that
they walked home in the same direc
tion.
“I’ll have to wear it with all my old
blue suit,” Bubbles’ said as she went
along. “Rut I don’t care. I’ve made
myself a white net waist, and it’s
awfully becoming.”
“Ten dollars is a lot for a hat,” Alice
said quietly.
But Bubbles laughed, with her head
flung up and her bright eyes shining
“Oh, what’s the use of living.” she
said, “if a girl can’t have something
pretty now and then?”
Alice nodded. Her bine eyes were
wistful. “That’s what I think.” she’
said. “Now, there’s a remnant of rib
bon at my counter. It’s white, with
bunches of pink roses on it. It would
make a lovely girdle, and I could buy
a white dress for 15 cents a yard and
a little wreath of pink roses in the mil
linery department, and then I couid be
bridesmaid for Millie Drake.”
“Does she want you to be?” Bubbles
asked, with interest.
“Yes,” Alice said. “Jimmie Bryan is
to be best man.”
“Oh!” Bubbles was silent for a mo
ment. Then she asked, “Don’t you
think you can afford the dressV”
“No,” Alice said quietly. "I can’t.
And I told Millie last night to ask you,
Bubbles. I knew you wouldn’t mind
being asked second, because I’m her
oldest friend. I laid the piece of flow
ered ribbon away this panning, so that
if you wanted it you could have it.
You could make a white net skirt to
your new waist. It would be awfully
pretty with the pink roses.”
But Bubbles was looking at her curi
ously.
“Don't you mind.” she asked—“l
mean not being bridesmaid?”
“Yes, 1 do," Alice said, and Bubbles
saw that her eyes were fuil of tears.
“But I have to give all of my money
to mother now that father is sick and
can't work.”
“Well, it’s a hard old world,” Bub
bles remarked as they reached the cor
ner where they separated. “If 1 decide
to take the ribbon, Alice, I’ll let you
know in the morning.”
At the licit corner Bubbles met Jim
mie Bryan.
“Jimmie.” she said, with her gray
eyes challenging bim— “Jimmie, are
you going to be best man at Millieis
wedding?”
“Sure.” answered Jimmie—“cutaway,
white flower in my coat and all the
rest of t lie agony.”
“And me to walk up the aisle with
you?” said Bubbles.
Jimmie looked at her in surprise.
“I thought Alice was going—was go
ing to do it,” he said.
“Alice can’t get the clothes,” Bub
bles informed him, “and if I wasn’t a
selfish pig I'd get them for her, but 1
want a white feather in my summer
hat.”
Jimmie hesitated. “Look here. Bub
hies.” he said a little awkwardly,
“ain’t there some way you could make
Alice think you were getting her and ess
and let me pay for it? Id like to do
it.”
Bubbles caught her breath quickly.
“Why, Jimmie!” she said.
Jimmie flushed. “She has an awful
hard time,” he said.
“Yes, she does.” Bubbles agreed ab
stractedly. She was a little white, but
she still smiled at Jimmie.
“So you don’t want me to be brides
maid with you?” she teased, still with
a funny catch in her breath.
“Aw, Bubbles,” be stammered, “you
know I think you’re about the nicest
thing ever"—
“But you’d rather have Alice walk
up the aisle with you,” was her quiet
reminder. . __ _ _. , -
‘1 Wouldn't,” he declared stoutly,
“but I’m sorry for Alice.”
“Of course.” Bubbles agreed, and
then she went on to plan. “I could got
her the things and tell her the money
had come to me unexpectedly.”
“1 am afraid that wouldn't do,” was
Jimmie’s worried response. “She'd
feel as if she had to pay It back. You
get the things and send them to her
and don’t have any mark on the box.
and she’ll never know where they
came from.”
“Well. I can’t get the things we
talked about," Bubbles said, “or she
would know right away. Do you care
how much you spend. Jimmie?"
“No,” he told her with the reckless
ness of the skilled laborer who earns
his $3 a day; “no, I don’t.”
“Then I'll get a robe dress of pink
mull with a wreath of silver roses
She’ll look like a dream, Jimmie.”
“I hope she will,” Jimmie said, and
Bubbles sighed.
“Goodby, Jimmie,” she said as she
came to the tenement where she lived
on the third floor.
He looked at her anxiously. "You’re
not cut up about not being bridesmaid,
are you?” he asked.
She shook her head. “No,” she an
swered bravely.
“Well, you’re pretty nice. Bubbles,”
he said heartily, and then he went on
Ills way.
When Bubbles reached home she
took out her boarded store of money.
With what she would add on her next
pay day she would have $lO. and she
could buy tbe hat with the white
feather.
She fingered the money for a mo
ment. and then she dropped her head
on her arm with a sob, for Bubbles
had wanted that hat to wear to church
on Sunday morning when she sang in
the choir with Jimmie Bryan. It had
been for Jimmie’s admiration that she
had craved the pretty hat. And. after
all, it was Alice that Jimmie cared
for.
Two days later Alice came to her
counter breathlessly.
“Oh. Bubbles,” she said, “such a
wonderful thing has happened!”
“What?” asked Bubbles innocently.
And then Alice told her of the won
derful gown and the dainty accessories
that had come the night before in a
big box.
“I can’t imagine who sent them.”
“It must have been a fairy god
mother,” said Bubbles demurely.
“And now I can be Millie’s brides
maid.” caroled Alice when she had
exhausted all her conjectures as to the
giver. “You won’t mind, will you.
Bubbles?”
“No,” said Bubbles steadily.
And as she sold needles and pins and
hooks and eyes and whalebones and a
hundred and one other things that day
she told herself that she did not care.
Why should she want to walk beside
Jimmie Bryan when be preferred to
have Alice?
She passed the window with the hat
with the white feather that night with
out a glance, and on Sunday she wore
a plain little black sailor with a cheap
red rose, and she looked prettier than
ever In jt.
“Alice thinks you’re a fairy god
mother,” she told Jimmie after serv
ice.
"Say, did she like it?” he demanded.
“Of course she did,” said Bubbles.
“Who wouldn’t?”
But Jimmie did not answer imme
diately. He stood looking down at her.
“Say, little girl," he said presently,
••you look mighty nice in that hat.”
“It cost just Bubbles inform
ed him glibly, “marked down from $2."
“I don’t care what it cost.” Jimmie
stated. “You look mighty nice.”
Bubbles couldn't resist saying. “But
not half as nice as Alice will in that
pink robe.”
"Bubbles,. I believe you're jealous.”
flashed Jimmie unexpectedly.
Bubbles’ cheeks flamed. "Why, Jim
mie Bryan!” she falteied.
“Look here.” Jimmie demanded, “did
you think 1 was In love with Alice?”
Under his keen scrutiny Bubbles was
forced to admit, “I couldn’t very well
help it. could 1?”
“1 was afraid you would." Jimmie
said, “that day when 1 planned to get
her the things, but I had promised.
Oh, look here. Bubbles, you come out
to the park with me, and I’ll tell yon
about it.”
And all the way to the park Rub
bles’ heart sang, and she seemed tr
walk on air. and she was glad that
she hadn’t bought the hat with the
white feather. She was glad she
hadn’t been extravagant, for Jimmie
seemed to like her just as well in the
black sailor with the red rose.
In the park the beds were full of
jonquils and tulips and hyacinths and
crocuses, and under the flowering aim
ond tree Jimmie and Bubbles sat down
to talk.
“Y ou see,” Jimmie explained, “there’s
Bob Travers, and he’s in tin* navy,
and he’s away on a three years’ cruise,
and he made me promise that I’d look
after Alice —they’ve been in love with
each other since they were kids—and
when Alice’s father got sick I tried to
help, hut they wouldn't let me, and it
seemed as if ge* ting her the dress
would be what Bob would want me to
do, and now he’s going to get home in
time for the wedding, and I told Millie
she’d have to have him for best man.”
“Ob!” cried Bubbles, aglow with
- * ~
‘LVr.cT then I told her how much I
thought of you, and she wants us to tie
In tbe wedding party, and— Oh. well,
look here. Bubbles.” And in the shad
ow of the flowering almond he held
out his anus.
And Bubbles, having wept a little
weep of joy on his broad shoulder, sat
up and wiped her eyes. “Ain’t l glad I
didn’t spend all my money for that
feather, Jimmie?” she said. “I'll get
the white net skirt and wear the rose
but ribbon”—
“And a diamond ring.” interrupted
Jimmie.
“A diamond ring! What for?” de
manded Bubbles.
“Because we're engaged,” said Jim
mie rapturously.
A WARSHIP TEST.
The Unexpected Beat to General Quar
ters at Midnight.
Tbe ship is lying at anchor in a
distant port. It is night, nud nothing
Is heard but the tramp of the sentry
on the forecastle and the ripple of
water at the gangway.
Only the officer of tffe deck, the quar
termaster and the guard are awake.
The entire crew 7 are below decks and
dreaming in their hammocks.
The cabin door opens and the captain
steps forth softly, fully dressed and
wearing bis sword and revolver. He
speaks in a low tone to the officer of
the deck, who sends an orderly for
ward with a message. In a moment
the orderly returns, bringing with him
the drummer, who stands silently at
the mast, drumsticks In hand, watch
ing the commander.
“Eight bells”—midnight—is struck.
At a silent signal from the command
ing officer the drummer poises his
sticks an Instant, then sounds the long
roll, or "alarm,” which is at once fol
lowed by the quick beat to “general
quarters.”
Instantly the scene changes to one of
apparently the utmost confusion. Four
hundred men leap from their ham
mocks. Passing a few turns of tho
lashings around them, they throw them
Into their “nettings,” then spring to
their stations at the batteries and cast
loose the guns.
A moment more and a bright flash
and roar from the forecastle pivot gun
bursts upon the stillness and gloom of
tbe night, followed quickly by the
broadside battery.
Each gun Is fired once, a blank
charge, but enough to show that the
gun is in good order and ready for
service.
As suddenly the pandemonium sub
sides. Confusion gives place to silence
and order and not a sound Is heard,
but the battle lanterns Hashing along
tiie crowded deck reveal the well disci
plined crew standing at their quarters,
every man equipped with cutlass and
pistol, silent and alert. Sponges, ram
mers, supply boxes and battle axes lit
ter the deck: everything is provided
and ready as for action, while the
captain, accompanied by tbe executive
officer (the first lieutenant), with an
orderly bearing a lantern, makes a
thorough inspection fore and aft and
below. Including the powder division,
magazines and shell rooms, to see that
nothing Is lacking which would Do re
quired in real action.
At the touch of the drum the ship
has been changed from deathlike still
ness to readiness for battle, every offi
cer and man at bis station, armed, si
lent. expectant—and all in less than
three minutes! —Chicago News.
Caucs of Giantism.
A learned Italian doctor says that
giantism is a morbid process, i\ disease
due to an enlargement of a part of the
brain which is endowed with growth
regulating functions. When that part
of the brain enlarged, the limbs grew
to an abnormal extent and other phys
ical changes occurred, the excess of
growth being chiefly in the lower jaw,
the arms and legs. No giant ever at
tains length of days. The average life
is only a fraction over twenty years.
Ireland has produced at least four
giants—McGrath, born in Tipperary in
1786 (he was seven feet five inches in
height): Malone, seven feet six Inches;
Murphy, seven feet three inches, and
Charles By rue, seven feet six inches.
None of them ever reached great men
tal development.
Cld Dances In Old Times.
In Edward Scott’s “Dancing In All
Ages” are some curious details about
the <lances of old England.
“Joan Sanderson” was a “jolly
dance” in Mr. Scott’s definition, for be
fore it was ended each lady had kissed
all the gentlemen twice, and each man
had been equally enterprising. Mary
Stuart danced the “Volta,” though
"not so high and so disposedly” as
Eliznbeth. In King Charles’ time peo
ple danced “Trencbmore,” the “Cush
ion Dance,” “Omnium Gatherum” and
“Iloite emu Toite.”
“All In a Garden Green.” “Gathering
of Feaseods,” “Lumps of Pudding.”
“Under and Over.” “The Bath,” “The
Slaughter House” and “Have at Thy
Coat. Old Woman,” are dances not
quite so old.
Many an an who imagines he is
world-famous is unknown to the
people m the next block.
