It was located In a region for the most part taken op with big estates. Hope hadn't felt so foolish at first She had gone to pieces after her break with Bob Johnson. Perhaps the old family doctor sensed the real situation. He had known both Hope and Bob since their childhood. "You're wore out, Hope," he bad told her. "Yes I'm worn out," she answered. "I've been going to too many parties and things." "Too many parties yes. Ton need a rest I know Just the place for you. It's on a farm up in the Berkshire!. The Twlckhams are old friends of mine." That was the way Hope found herself settled in a real farmhouse. A week after her arrival she started out one sultry, overcast afternoon-thin- king motoring would be less breathless than sitting on the shady porch or under the old, gnarled apple tree by the side of the house. She hadn't gone far when a sharp thunderstorm broke and she turned for refuge Into the driveway of a small cottage on the edge of a village. It wasn't a pretentious place at all a little white Con-onihouse done over Just enough to make It charming. As Hope ran back to the house from the garage where she had parked her car she noticed that It was a two-ca- r garage, Be she didn't mind monopolizing half of it-- she thought of the trees only aa a menace. She was frankly afraid of thunder and lightning. She let the big knocker drop, sending Its loud summons through the little house. Nobody answered it, though she sounded It again and again. Then, in a lull for a moment, she ran round to the back of the house, tried the back door, and slammed it shut behind her as it gave to her push. The kitchen was in almost dead darkness. Outside the black clouds seemed to settle closer and closer down over the roof. The roar of thunder and wind, the sighing and gnashing of trees, were deafening. A searing flash of lightning came, and its brightness was worse than the darkness before. It was a cosy kitchen in which she found herself bright with red and white gingham curtains, clean with blue and gray paint. A box of groceries was on the table, a kettle hummed softly on the coal stove. Thoughts of tea and toast came into Hope's mind. It was one thing to take refuge from a terrible storm in somebody's kitchen ; it was another to make a feast of tea and toast and the Jar of marmalade you saw sticking from somebody's grocery order. A resounding knock echoed through the house, but it was so mixed np with thunder that for a moment Hope wasn't sure what it meant. But it sounded a second time and a third, and at last she realized that somebody was pounding on the front door knocker. Groping through the strange dark dining room and living room and hall, she finally found the door. She couldn't see clearly, and bungled with the al 1' ' f to the "perfect picture" type costume swings the pendulum of fashion this summer. Wherever fashionables gather at formal outdoor occasions the scene is graced with lovely ladies wearing romantic costumes which declare the revival of and garden-partquaint alluring Mosi artfully frocks. and are these summery creations which are styled of wondrous sheer weaves, with skirts reaching to the ground, and hats the wide brims of which have not been so wide and pic turesque for many a season past. This revival of the beguilingly feminine in dress is especially apparent near and about the French capital this summer, where smart Parislennes have beeD wearing Just such enchanting gowns and chupeaux to the races as you see pictured In the group herewith. It would be difficult to conceive of anything mere entrancing in the way of midsummer array than this trio of sheer airy-fairfrocks topped with hats whose shallow crowns and widened brims are the very essence of poetry In millinery. At every turn of the road In fash Ion's realm f organdie in profusion greets the eye this summer, and If not organdie then mousselinede sole which enthrals even more because of its elusive sheerness. The winsome gown to the left In the picture tells a romantic story In terms of intricately beruffled panels at each side of Its voluminous skirt and in the wee Jacket of pastel taffeta, the message being completed via one of the capellnes which are so distinctively BACK y wide-brimme- d new in that their crowns are exceed ingly shallow and their brims amazingWhat's more they are worn ly broad. to dip over an eye in a most tantaliz- ing manner. The model In the center Is an en trancing sheer print frock such as Paris so widely acclaims for warm summer days. Note the shoulder treatment a la ruche. The Identical sheer print trims the perfectly fas cinating picture hat which milady wears. The gloves are black velvet. If you please, which well they may be ac cording to fashion's latest edict. Comes thirdly In the picture a lovely sheer gown the decorative feature of which centers in exquisite hand-erbroidery which is worked to a nicety on bodice, sleeves and skirt. Again a nuge capeline of the shepherdess type, such as fashion adores thist summer, adds the finishing touch to this costume. While these three entrancing gowns serve as criterlons of what's what in F'aris midsummer modes, yet they tell but part of the story. There were, for example any number of "picture" gowns fashioned with almost unbelievable simplicity which added InIn some Infinitely to their lure. stances trimming was conspicuous by Its ahsence In that many of the crisp and beloved sheer transparencies were individualized solely prints through varied sleeve treatments (some quite exaggerated) and with differing necklines, some of which were square-cut- , others rounded and many softly draped. . 193J. Western N,spaper Union a The aftermath of war makes long windrows. Have we not heard that Great Britain is still paying for the powder and shot she used on the French at Waterloo? Is the United States not still making disbursements on account of the Revolution? And here is the little cityofChe-rasco- , a few miles from Turin, which Is still paying the interest on tribute levied on the place when Napoleon seized it 137 years ago, during his Italian campaign. Naponeon demanded the tribute In order to clothe and nourish his army, which bad suffered terribly during the march across the Alps. Many of the citizens of Ch era sco had fled on the approach of the French and the city fathers went round, bat in hand, and begged the money from the few who bad remained behind and were able to contribute. The citizens who gave were promised a fixed rate of interest forever. The more public-spirite- d agreed to take 1 per cent; others bargained for as much as 6. The descendants of these contributors are still getting a fixed sum every year, though the city authorities do not now know bow much the tribute was. They know only that the names of those who paid have been kept in the city archives and that their descendants still receive the interest agreed upon so long ago. And there is the case of the pension to the descendants of Monte-zumemperor of Mexico. One of the three children of Montezuma married one of Cortes' captains and upon her and two other surviving children. Emperor Charles V bestowed pensions, these to continue to their descendants to the last syllable of recorded time. That provision became a charge on the vice regal government of Mexico more than 400 years ago and has been progregularly paid to the eny of Montezuma during all the vicissitudes of rule which Mexico has experienced since she revolted from Spain in 1821 even during the feverish and tragic reigns of Itur-bld- e and Maximilian. The genealogy of the Spanish line from Montezuma is well authenticated, but there have been endless legal disputes over the claims of the Mexican line, for the records are much confused. There Is a movement on foot now In Mexico to discontinue these pensions on the ground that the claimants can show no scars of wounds received during the conquest and that the payments to the family, which up to this time amount to nearly would seem to be ample compensation for the Injuries originally inflicted upon their forbears.

It was Bob. "Give it an extra twist to the right and it'll come open." Hope twisted It smartly to the right, and almost fell backward into the dim hall as the door came open in her hand. "That's fine, Mrs. Tracy. I'm Mr. Johnson Bob Johnson. I saw the light in the kitchen so I knew yon were here. I left the back door open for you had to run down to the post office, and got caught in this storm. Awfully good of you to promise to look after me. You see I've been a little tired out, and my old doctor recommended this village and this house as a good place to rest up, and his wife remembered that you sometimes helped out the summer people. So I wrote you, and here you are. I wonder if I could have some tea and toast and maybe some marmalade? I ordered things at the grocery, and they're on the table." Hope shrank back into the darkness, found the door Into the back entry, and faded away Into the shadows. Once more in the bright kitchen, she set quickly about making tea and toast. She spread the pretty china she found In the cupboards on a table under the window, and as she browned the bread over the coals "her cheeks flushed with heat and excitement. PerhapsIt hadn't been such a serious quarrel between Bob and her. They were both too stubborn, that was the trouble. But nothing that a little explaining wouldn't cure Perhaps The door opened, and Bob came blinking into the kitchen. He had obviously changed his wet things for house slippers and a dressing gown. He looked boyish and young, as he stood there tired, too, and a little pale and worn. He looked first at the tea table set for two and then he saw Hope. Half an hour later Mrs. Tracy found them, with all the windows closed, the shades down and the lights on, though the summer shower had passed and a brilliant late afternoon sunshine bathed a glistening world. Tea and toast and marmalade and something else had ended tlio. shower for them. Cuticura Healed ewat Hotel "My entire face was covered with ugly, disfiguring pimples and they were very painful.
