From that moment the white .rose -buds, and golden -hearted forget-me-nots, that had seemed to infold such sweet messages 111 their fragrant petals, lost all charm in the oyes of Little Gay. , A few moments later Evelyn St. Claire took her leave.

A week hater, life had fallen into the axiom old rut again in the Passaic Cotton hills, Hazel and Gay were once more at thou' looms in the woavinir room. Everything was progreeeing just as it was before the thrilling episode narrate ad in our 'previoua chapter had transpir- ed. There was, however, a great change in Gay Eetorbrook,' The - beautiful little madcap of the mill was not so hoiden- ish, eo saucy, or so mirthful; and, as the hours of each day rolled on, her- oyes, with a etrango light in their dark depths, would turn toward the counting -room door. More than once handsome Percy Gran- ville had walked home with Gay from the mill,: and semi the forked tongueof scan- dalenongere .began to whisper lightly the 1101110 of Little Gay. Of oouree"-they said with a knowing nod -"the girl ought to know better than to encourage hie attentions" -ho wan so far above hor socially, he had no thought of marriage; whoa it dame to choosing a wife, he would certainly never think of mating with -a factory girl though she were beautiful ae au hour!. Ono afternoon Miss St Claire had met Hazel going home alone from the mill, and to hor she repeated the story she Herself had been the means of circulating -the story which she said the: peoplewere tolling of Little Gay, Poor Hazel was horrified -indignant. - bowed down with the bitterest attune. "It is, unfortunate, a very natural thing Of a free -and -ease young man like Mr. Granville to admire a pretty face," Mies. 8t. Claire went on glibly, '''but for your eteter's sake and your own,, I advise you to remove her as quickly as you can from. his influence, Ieet hor lila be wrecked and her heart broken." I have no place to tithe her,' replied Hanel, weeping. "We .done net make as much anywhere 40 we make at piece -work In the Passel° Mills; besides, I have no 1.l0110y.' T1 0 ehonld furnish you with the'money required, would you take her so faraway that Mr. Granville would never hear of or more?" Mies 8t. Claire asked quickly. "Remember your sister's .future is at stake. In return for my klndnese to her, I Should exact a solemn promise from you that there should be no correspon- dence between them; they 0100 be o.vr. ad all completely -forever -as though one of them were in the grave.

I am Percy Granville's betrothed bride," elle went on, "and for that reason I should be sorry to see :harm befall your. pretty sister through him." The terrible falsehood did not burn her lisps es elle uttered it. What were a few epoken wards 4:o the desperate, haughty heiress when love and happinesswere weighed in the balance?

Gal, blush lug furiously as ohs oorreotod horeelf; he's on the committee. He's to oall for. me at half -past eight." "You menet go,'.' said Hazel, slowly, stroking the brown, curly hoed. Gay started back is bewildered may; she eould never remember 'a time in all her: young life that her sedate cis. ter, who was more like a mother to her, had deliberately refused her anything. "Hut I ham set my heart on it, Hazel:" she cried.. I want to go M a real ball, see lights' and meek, and enjoy myself Just for ouco in my life, as other girls of my age do,, Ohl it would be like 'a glimpse of heaven to poor little me." The next moment two soft, whito.'arms. stole caressingly and coaxingly around Hazel's neck, a •eoft glowing cheek wan laid against hors, and two irresietible, dark, velvety eyes were looking appeal - !ugly into her own. No," said Hazel, determinedly,_harden. ing herself to the task; you -would he out of place, my darling, among 'those line ladies, who aro all oo wealthy and so haughty in their 'satins and jewels." Gay threw her bead back wi:h•a merry rippling laugh, her roguish eyes dancing. I knew you would say that, Hazel, no look bore: I was tolling one of the gir'le that I could not go, for I had nothing fit to wear; my old white mull dress was too badly patched and darned, and -wasn't she cry, very good, Hazel? -she was kind enough to loan me one she worn last summer. I brought it home with one, and it's a perfect beauty. I tried it on, and it looks just lovely on me, and fits me perfectly by taking it in a little at the neck, and gathering it a little tighter et the bolt." And in a glow of trieunph she flew to the other end of the room, and in an other moment was etaudtng before Hazel, Iaugllinely shaking out the glowing Sonde of a rose -pink tarlatan dress, with stream- ing pink satin ribbons. "Now you won't say no,' you dear old Hazel?" oho cried, laying her curly head coaxingly on Hazel's knee. But for once in her lite Hazel was firm -Little Gay's pleadinge were all in vain, "Write to Mr. Granville' a short, polite note, and send it to him at once telling him you cannot go, or shell be obliged to call upon hien with that verbal 1011. sage," she said, At last the little tear -blotted note wan written, and Lama herself went to deliver it, leaving poor wretehcd Gay drowned in Mars end fobbing as though her heart was breaking.

His Majesty has three •valets -a chief and two assistant valets. The chief valet has been with his Majes- ty for. the past twelve years. His duties are to superintend the card of the Royal wardrobes, to attend on the King in the Royal dressing - room, and to take all instructions concerning the King's clothes which may be given him either directly by his Majesty or by one of the private secretaries, says London Answers. His Majesty's' clothes are kept in a large room adjoining the dressing - room. The walls of the room are lined with wardrobes, which are di- vided into two sections -one sec- tion contains the King's uniforms, and the other his Majesty's ordi- nary morning, walking, and evening suits of clothes, • "Overnight, the chief valet is in- structed regarding the uniforms, if any, and the suits of clothes which the King will require for wear the following day, and these are placed by the assistant valets in the Royal dressing -room. Before to. suit or uniform is sent into the Royal dressing -room it is inspected by the chief valet, to see that itis proper- ly brushed, ironed, and ready for wear. No Assistance Required. /very morning the suits which the Ring has worn the day previously are brushed and ironed by the assis- tant valets. The King, it maybe noted, never wears the same .suit two days run- ning. As a rule his Majesty would not wear the same shit oftener than once in the week, and when it has been worn about two dozen times it would be put out of the Royal weed - robes. The present King keeps earlier hours thztn did his late Majesty. King, George customarily rises at seven o'clock, when he takes a sup of light Coffee, which the chief valet brings him directly the King enters his dressing -room. Ris. Majesty then has his bath, which is always a cold one; whilst the King is in his bath -room, the chief valet puts the links and studs into his Majesty's shirt, puts out an assortment of ties on the dressing -table, and places the boots or shoes the Ring intends to wear on a mahogany boot -stand, and 'then retires. The King dresses himself without the'aid of a valet, except when put- ting on a uniform., when the chief valet is generally in 'attendance. When the King ,travels; the chief valet superintends the packing of his Majesty's luggage, which is done by the assistant valets. A list' of everything that is to be packed is made out by the chief valet, and on the arrival of ,the luggage at the King's destination the list is check- ed over by the chief valet whilst the portmanteaus arc being unpacked. "'Trying -On" Made Easy. The King's chief valet is a wall - educated and very well-informed bean. He is a first-rate lingnivt, speaking French, German and Ital- ian, in addition to his native tongue, perfectly, Ile has travelled all over the world with the King, and is known and held in high es- teem by all the great European monarchs, from whom ho has re- ceived diir'ing their visits to Eng- land madly tokens of their esteem, King George rarely or never tries on .a suit of 'clothes, and seldom is seen by the tailors who have the henor of his Majesty's oesteem When the Ring desires to order any now clothes be informs the chief valet of the fact, who gets patterns for the King's inspection. When his Majesty has selected the pat-. terns, the chief valet gives the or- der to the tailor, and the clothes, when ready for trying on, are fitted. on a dummy figure of the Ring. The chief valet inspects the suit when it is fitted on the model, and gives the tailor sell the neoeesary' directions concerning it. A .*eft is generally. fitted on the model three times.

It is good to pardon, to be morci- fu1, to be liberal; but it, is better to be just. When a. man buys a new hat he wants one somewhat' like the one he had before -but it's different with a woman.

Cold Meat Shape. -Take half a pound of cold meat, cut into squares and place in a basin. Pour over boiling stock in which has been dissolved one ounce of gelatine. Beaten , thoroughly and pour into moulds. • Set aside till cold. Serve. on a dish garnished with parsley. This makes a delightful supper, dinner, high -tea, or even breakfast dish. Scotch Eggs. -Place two hard- boiled eggs' in cold water till re- quired, afterwards removing shells. Remove skins from four ounces of sausage, covering the eggs thinly with the meat, and using flour on the hands to prevent sticking. Egg and exumb them, fry from four to six minutes, then drain and out in two. Serve up on rounds of toast. A very appetising breakfast or sup- per dish. ;Minced Mutton and Tomato Toast, -Make three cups of good well seasoned tomato sauce, thick- ened with a heaping teaspoonful of flour, rubbed into one of butter. Keep hot in a double boiler set at the side of the range. Toast slices of bread, butter them, spread on a platter and put a tablespoonful of tomato sauce on each. Into the remainder of the tomato sauce turn two cupfuls of inineed mutton, put the saucepan over'the fire,' stir un- til the meat is thoroughly heated, season to taste and pour upon the. toast. -+ Creamed Eggs. -Boil six eggs very hard and lay them in ice water for an hour to prevent dark- ening. When you are ready to prepare them for table, have a cup of good drawn butter seasoned' with paprika, salt and onion juice, and cut the eggs into sixths, white arid yolks together, keeping the. pieces as nearly intact as you can. Put the white sauce over the fire to get vary hot; fill nappies, or a pudding dish, with the cut-up eggs; pour the sauce over them and set in the oven for a few minutes to heat the eggs.

Add the first mixture to this batter and bake in two layers. When cool put the layers together with a plain boiled icing. For 'Tender Breaded -Veal.--The secret of having breaded veal ten - dee is in the cooking; this should be done very slowly, Season the crumbs with pepper and salt; brush the cutlet over with either beaten egg or milk, then roll in crumbs, and saute in bacon fat: When well browned, add a little water, and set the cutlet back where it will simmer, covered, very slowly for at least three -quartans of an hour. ,hast before serving, add floor to the gravy, fora thiekeaied gravy. A little kitchen bouquet or caramel may be added to give it a rich brown color. Garnish with green. Useful Hints. Salt water extinguishes fire much. more quickly than fresh. Before chopping parsley wash it well and then squeeze dry in a cloth. To relieve a cough try sipping a wineglassful of hot milk with a tea- spoonful of glycerine in it. Cracked eggs can be boiled if they are first wrapped in buttered paper and fastened with fine string. Before putting currants or rais- ins into a Bake rub them well in dry flour, and they will not sink to the bottom. When waebing fine flannel add a little powdered borax to every pail- ful el water, This keeps the Ilan- neI soft. Wooden tubs which are riot in daily use should have a little cold water left in them. If allowed tv dry they will crack and fall to pieces. A pinch of soda added to milk or cream when heating will keep it from curdling in custards, soups, capes, etc. Much loss sugar is re- quired.' To prevent balde r:so rub vace]ine into the scalp ei erg' night for et least six months. The hair will stop falling out and new hair will begin to grow. The best and strongest plaster is made with dry mustard mixed to a thin paste with olive oil. Spread it on a piece of linen or cotton, and apply to affected part. When one feels very warm dip: ping the wrists in cold water for a few minutes coals off the body. -It is no doubt because many of the large blood vessels pass through this point.
