Ho cometh not," the plaint of the Lady of Shalott, echoed ba ber heart. though the smile scarcely relaxed on her face, and her voice gave no hint of the suspense that gnawed at her and made her furious with self -scorn; but presently she saw him come in, and her scorn was intensified by the thrill hie near presence caused her. He came straight acrese the room to where she was sitting surrounded, In au interval of the dance, by the usual little group of men who worshipped at liar shrine; and though every step of his found its echo in her heart, she did not look at him until ho was elope at her side and was speaking. "Am I too late for a dance, Lady Edith?" he said. "Tdle House is only just up, alas!" She looked at her programme. "There to one waltz,' she said 'coldly; "but.neY father is going, I think." In his prompt fashion Clive went off in search of him. "Want to dance with Edith?" said Lord Chesterleigh, smothering a yawn. "Only just come? I should have thought you'd both of you have been better in bed; but, all right, I'll wait, my dear fellow; what else are fathers good for?" Clive went bat*, and without a word of- fered her his arm. Coldly still she walked by his side; than he put hie arm round her, and they began to waltz, Har cold- ness melted as the snow mels in the hot sun of summer. Clive danced well; as do all men with whom mue10 is a paseton; with her eyes half close's}, her hand lying in his, her cheek almost toucbing his shoulder, they glided to tile exquisite strains of the best band In Europe. For the fleet time in her life Edith Ches- terleigh know what happiness might mean; for this was a foretaste of it.

But there wad no reeponse in his. -Ho was 1tlokbne straight before him, gravely, almost sternly -and the very gravity and starriness added to the spell which held her in thrall -for ho was seeing nothing of the magnificent ballrooms, the -bril- liant crowd that thronged them; in their place wile a poor. shabby little Loom in Benson's Rents, with a girlish figure bend- ing over the keys; and the exquisite and moving music to which he was dancing was drowned by the five -anger exercises played by the little street singer --whom he -had promised never to em again.

Management of the Dairy herd, It has become an axiom with some dairymen, that the best re- sults are obtained only with the best breeds of animals, But suc- cess with such animals implies also the best management; and not every beginner is capable of the should be kept free from filth and skillful handling uecessary with moisture. Plenty of bedding should high -bred cows. The higher we get be used at all times and the pens in the scale of animal life, the morn cleaned out frequently. If the calf - delicate the animal mechanism be- pen is nota large one, it should be comes and the greater the need of cleaned out every day, In th gut - wisdom in the human agency which tern, it ]s well to usa common slack controls its movements, It is a' ed lime, or wood ashel, as an ab- sorbent, Cows should not be kept in "an ice -house, a hog pen or a dungeon. A dark, damp and dirty place is very favorable to the growth of bac- teria, which may attack the health of the animals, Plenty of sunlight keeps the place dry and kills bac- teria. When kept in the barn, cows should be brushed daily, not only to keep the dirt and hair from falling into the milk -pail, but to keep the pores of the skin open. This makes the cow more comfortable, and ib cannot be too often repeated that anything done to add to the com- fort of the cow adds to her product- iveness. • ventilation without heat is a eon - sumer of feed," The range of tem- perature in the barn should be kept between 40 and 00 degrees V. In summer the shades should be pulled down, lest the well -lighted barn be- come Lou warm. They will also keep out the flies. It is well to have gunny -sacks hung in the doorway ; so that, as far as the cow forces her way through, the flies will be brush- ed off her•back, Nowhere an the farm is cleanli- ness }noire desirable than in the dairy barn. Stalls and calf -pens long time before a baby can care - for itself as well as can a bronco colt at one day old. A bronco colt can stand mare simple hardship and abuse than can a colt from a standard -bred trotting mare or a high-class draft animal, but the bronco will never have the great speed at the trot of the standerd- bred, nor will it grow large enough to have the power of the drafter. Tho scrubby native cow can stand more hardship and abuse than a highly -developed dairy cow capable of doing great work, and the latter loses her superior commercial value in unfavorable surroundings and under unfavorable treatment. It is found, therefore, that suc- cess in dairying depends as much on the kind of care and management bestowed on the herd- as upon the breed. Care :Ener management are, for this reason, given the first con• sideration here. These should in- clude a much greater degree of at- tention to the comfort 3f the ani- mals that is ordinarily bestowed. In fact, it can be demonstrated that the nearer we come to applying the Golden Rule to the treatment of the dairy herd, and treating its members as we would like to be treated, the larger will be the sat- isfaction and rewards of dairying. These are the touchstones of suc- cess. 'When the cow is comfortable and contented, she responds with a flow of milk far in excess of that which she gives when she had been uncomfortable and irritated. • NERVE Boy -"Tf you please, fii.rller'dsent ilio ladder back scot, c 1orrered.

The fashion for wearing felt hale for summer outings is so deep riot- ed that it is difficult to tell the dif- ference this year between drummer hats and those of early fall. One model which ranks itself with the hats of early fall is made of grey belt, modeled on stiff, straight lines. The round crown in banded with a three-inch fold of grey suede, a little darker than the hat, piped on each side with a cord of deep violet silk, White Straw Hat. An attractive hat for a young girl is made of white straw, with a simple rounded crown, and an even, rolling brim. The hat is encircled with a wide, box -pleated, fringed ruching made of while taffeta Bilk. On the right side of the hat a. shall bunch of roses is half hidden in the wide, full ruching, Fruit Buell Used. Fruit is much used to trim late - summer flats. It is usually made of silk, sometimes of velvet, and it can be made at home ;by tlre,woman with imagination and clover fingers. The beads, in a clear bright color, are strung on fine,wire and wound around and - aound little forms made of cotton batting. Bright red beads suggest st•aw- berrics, especially if two cro;.sed strawberry leaves are'fastened un- der each fruit. Violet beads make good plums, and, if the rounds are smaller and a dozen of them are hunched together, they look like g1'apca. The Use of kimonos. The kimona style, modified in va- rious Ways, has been with tis for years and is evidently goig to stay with us for many years more. But Canadians still have something to learn about tho proper and beccm- ing ways in which to wear kimonos. A short time ago a middle-aged Japanese woman was walking along a fashioablo street of a large easl- ern -city. She was not dressed in Japanese costume and any one -he looked at her was struck with the fact that she was becomingly and suitably dressed for the street. ('lose examination showed that tbe woman wore a long, all -enveloping • coat of some dark grey woollen Mit• terial. It was mixt like a Japanese kimono, with the body and shoves in one. And the sleeves were reR'p- llttion Japanese kimono sleeves. Yet it was cut on lines }which made it look in keeping with the etraight,. slim lines, of present-day cloths. A coat of this sort would be espe- cially serviceable, sensible and be- coming as a carriage or automobile coat. It could be made of some chi- rable, dark material, or of pongee. linen or other dust -colored material of light weight and color. It would also be a delightful coat for an evening coat --cut like a ]ci- mona, with regulation Japanese M- inima sleeves, lined with some bright color, and with . a modified Japanese sash about the waist. The Pockets which were made in the bot- toms of the sleeves, would make ca- pacious resting places for slipper's, fans, handkerchiefs, vanity bag and the other knicknacks of 'the evening costume.
