I was disappointed, re lieved. glad, sorry, chagrined, trium phant— Qnc sensation succeeding the other in such rapid confusion (hat I never knew which predominated. Mrs. Spencer was talking, but w. v ere nearing the station before I realized what she was saying. Then I heard only here and there a sen tence,for my mind was leaping forward to the meeting with the widow. Would she be disappointed when she saw that I was attended by my friends? I had told her once 1 thought her charming J should never enter her presence unless guarded by policemen instructed to drag me away if I let her charms overcome me. Would she think these two friends my officially appointed bluecoats? Would she give me that taunting little smile which said, • You're afraid, you’re afraid?” Of only one thing I was sure, and that was that her manner of greeting my friends would conceal so much it would be perfect. The widow. I thought, not without some pride in her. would be a match for Mrs. Spen cer. and that is saying a good deal. “You haven’t heard a word I have said. Max,” said Mrs. Spencer, half amused and half provoked. I insisted that I had. "Well,” she replied, “she is coming next week." "Who is coming next week?” I asked, not that I was at all inter ested. “There," she said, "I knew you hadn’t heard what i said. Well, just for that. I won’t tell you again. J'M tell you .just this much, and that 's' she thinks you are still in the South or she would not come." The widow. I was thinking, would probably bo dressed in brown. She looked particularly handsome in that color, and wore it a great deal—per haps a brown traveling suit, with a brown hat with a feather just the color of her eyes. “She.particularly said." Mrs. Spen ce. resumed, “she did not want to see you. She can’t forget. She is one woman, Max, who Isn’t interested m your money.” It was too late to take the widow out to dinner; perhaps we could go to some private little dining room in a nearby hotel and have a little lunen and something to drink. I was glad, I was thinking, that Mrs. Jack had >n an evening gown. Mrs. Jack always looked handsome, but I had a special desire that she impress the widow this evening. I didn't want the widow, who was always perfectly attired, to ge*. any notion that my friends were frumps. My thoughts ran so intently on the meeting of these two women that I paid little heed to what Mrs. Spencer \as saying, and had not learned, when we reached the station and were pushing our way through the crowds, who that most unusual woman was w ho was not interested in my mon^y. There flashed through my mind the story of th^ farmer who saw his first camel, and who said, “There hain’t no such thing.” We had leached the door of the la- di* s' waiting room, my hand in Mrs. Spencer’s arm, and 1 was smiling at the appropriateness of the story, when we turned a cornel, and stood face to face with the very handsomest woman I had ever seen—the w idow'! , BRING T OUR FILMS TO US and we will develop them free.

XXrm’S" writes "HOW MUCH EASIER IT IS TO CHOOSE A HUSBAND. T HE customer is weary. That the salesgirl is also weary is some thing beyond her comprehension. The customer is also Impatient, but tfie salesgirl is not. Patience for her has a pecuniary value, and its equivalent is bread and butter. Gown after gown has been taken from the racks' and draped on the dummy models, and tied on those of flesh and blood. Bolt upon bolt of goods has been taken from the shelves and spread out in a way to give life and color to every thread At Iasi, wearied by the multiplicity of choice and her own indecision, the customer sinks into a chair. The sales girl. who has never been tired by multi plicity of choice, and knows not the luxury of indecision, remains standing. “How much easier,” says the cus tomer. “it is to choose a hu$l;and!” JFor she knew, as every woman knows, that that is where shopping comes easy. 't Thai is a stock line There is no bewildering variety of color, style or texture; no changing of fashions with confusing rapidity, no vexing doubt if the purchase will prove becoming, and, alas for feminine folly, no question if the purchase will stand the test pf wear and time! Wearing rose-colored glasses that hide all imperfections of wool and color, a girl enters this shop while very young, and proceeds to make a selection. She has so little Judgment that her mother wouldn't trust her with the purchase of a muslin dress that is to last one season, yet she permits her to enter alone and unguided a shop where she will make a purchase that must last a lifetime. ” • 0 When she returns hqrrie with, a new gown her mother examines it for irn perfections, noting quickly If it is worth the price, and if not. the girl must take it back. But if tlie girl .shops for a* husband, that is of so little importance she shops unattended. And when .4he makes a poor selection her family meekly abides by her bargain. Her mother is often a poor guide in the matrimonial market, and her father shirks the task, regarding his business affairs as of more importance. “That is your province." he says to his wife, ami she hides weakly behind that sentiment called “mother love," and which is manifested in letting daughter have a dynamite bomb to play with if that is daughter’s choice. “She loves bin).’’ she will say when (laughter brings home her matrimonial purchase, “and we must let daughter have what she wants." And daughter has it. and time has a way of its own in working on those who buy matrimonially that is unlike the way it marks off the days and months and years on those who make less vital purchases. The gown shrinks in the wash and fades, and breaks into holes and is dis carded. In the matrimonial shop it is not the purchase that shows the marks of wear and time; it is the one who buys. The husband may look just as dap per as the day he was taken from the counter, but the poor little customer who carried him off is faded and worn, and begins to look like a last year’s gown that was a bad bargain to begin with, and that proved worse with very day’s wear. She looks spiritually and mentally out at elbows and down at heels, and the brightness of youthful coloring that once made her a joy has become premature ly faded. She purchased on the im pulse. She must wear to the day of her death! She must carry to the end of time a burden on her heart that was never at the beginning any more than a moth-eaten sentiment. "How much easier." says the im patient customer, surrounded by silks and wools and muslins, "it is to choose a husband." And this choosing of a husband is something which mothers and fathers and all guardians of the young must make more of a responsibility and less of a. whim or caprice ii \ NXKuF writes "1 am a /■A girl of eighteen years, and as yet have had no admirers j aniQOg the boy.* 1 . 1 am anxious to have some boy cgfte for me and* take me about.
