Ralph is much attracted by Taney.

landlady until she hears from her
aunt.
and the first thing he saw whin he
returned t0 the place where he
lived, was the parcel from tree,
containing all the presents he had
given her during their engagement.
So it was all over, that chapter it1

She would have to race her little
world, and its gossip, and conjec-
tures, and coudoleuces,
Poor Dora was' indeed glong
through such misery as she had
never imagined in her hitherto
tranquil life.
She had had to explain to her
mother, and Mrs. Sheldon had taken
it badly. It had been her am.
bition to see Dora settled, and her
disappointment was great.
Site became—or imagined he be•
came match wors'e. She cried and
bewailed, and In some inexplicable
way she blamed Dora. She felt
herself humbled is the eyes of
Mrs. Parsons. over whom she had
previously exulted.
It was bitter to her that Mabel
had been the first to telt Dora of
Ralph's unfaithfulness.
The letter he had written was
some balm to Dora's wound, but ft
made no digerence to her resolve
The shook of seeing Taney in her
lfvere. arms had been too great for
that.
Mr. Sheldon, more understanding
than his wife, was Dota's greatest
comfort.
He planned that she shoul'i
away for a change as soon as her
mother was better. But even that
tome orary relief from being where
all must remind her of her loss,
could not yet be, and Dora's fail,+
lot was bard to bear.
All her hopes and plans for the
future were taken from her. Of all
girls the daughter et home must
feel a sorrow like hers, the most.
For her there Is no work to stir
ambition, no Interest in life be-
ond the household.
Ralph knew all this, and grioven
for her,
As for hint. he meant to leave the
neighborhood cohere she lived. He
could relieve her at leant or his
presence near, and she seed have

in the midst of his unhappiness
he was thrilled at the thought of
emancipation. He was free now,
free to go here be liked, and live
as he pleased,
And there was Taney,
"Ralph, I've no money and no
friends," so she had confessed to
him,

HAVE you ever taken mirror pic-
tures; that is, for example, a
picture of sister or the "girl friend"
standing in front of a mirror perhaps
"dolling up" a bit or maybe just ad-
miring herself?
It is the unusual that attracts at-
eention but it Is necessary to use
your eyes and a little Imagination
and ingenuity to ferret out the ex-
ceptional and get pictures that show
individuality,
When making mirror pictures and
focusing for reflected images only,
it is necessary to add the distance
from the mirror to the subject, to the
distance from the mirror to the lens
of the camera and then set the focus
accordingly.
If it is desired to include the sub-
Jeet in the picture with the reflected
image the focus should be set for the
dtstanee from the mirror to the lens,
The smaller the lens opening the
greater the depth of field and the
sharper will be both images. Of
course., the nearer the subject is to
th'e mirror the lees is required in the
matter of "depth".
Let us suppose that sister Mary
Is two feet and the camera six feet
from the mirror. If you want to In-
clude sister, as well as her reflected
image, in the picture, set the focus
at six feet. If you want only the re-
flected image in the picture, you set
the focus at eight feat. t1, photoflash
