She plumped a soggy pil- low, and left a light burning behind her, when she and Cass went into the kitchen. The place was deserted now. The children had finished their homework, and vanished; Mrs. O'Hara was no- where to be seen. The kitchen win- dows were open, and a cool draught of air wits blowing through the room; into a speckless sink a faucet dripped a few occasional drops that stood like gray pearls against the carefully wiped zinc. From the stove came a wheaten smell; tomorrow's cracked wheat was already steaming in the double boiler. The linoleum on the floor was worn in circles, down to its ugly brown- warp, rownwarp, at stove and sink, but under the table and in the corners its pattern of red rnd white and egg -yellow discs and squares were still visible. On the sill of the open window was a tumbler with a score of long-stemmed sweet dark violets in it, and a dozen varn- ished buttercups on jointed stems. "Iiiss me-" Cass said, holding her slender shoulders in one strong arm, as in a vise, tipping back her eltin with his free nand. Her tumble of soft pair fell back; she shut her eye,. "Don't you like me to kiss you, you little darling, you?" "I don't." She was breathing hard, "I dor-''t like to have the breath squeezed out of one!" "Ah, you're such a darling!" His lips were :fight and -:ard against hers again. "Are you a darling?" he asked. "1 don't know." "Are you a little idiot that can't nind her own business?" "Maybe I am," "Baby," he breathed. "Baby, I love you!" "Mary Kate!" her mother called, from the bedroom that adjoined the kitchen. "Did Cass go?" "Going, Mothe. !" He was gone, and Mrs. O'Hara cane to the ldtcken door, brushing her thick, curly, black hair, that was sit vexing at the temples, with a disreput- was rather -taking it for granted, do you see?-that re eves engaged her daughter " Mary Kate began, feeling S the ice crackle under her, trying to keep her thoughts policing her words in ten directions at once. "She was probably in with a gang of thieves" Cass opined, with some recent thrilling movies in mind. "Most of those titled Russian women seem to be." "Oh, no -she was a countess, she was probably genuine enough," Mary Kate defended ler. "I mean, she had jewels, she looked like all those ugly women with dog-collers and crowns on," she explained. "In the Sunday pictorials, you know?" "But he didn't want to marry her daughter?" "No. He hates the slaughter!" Mary Kate answered, with satisfac- tion. "And so he was supposed to be en- gaged to you?" Even now she dared not be quite truthful. "That was it." "Yes, but where dial Steynes coma in?" "Oh, it was to Mr. Steynes, He was the one." "Oh-?" Cass said, on a long -drawn note: "I see!" For an interval there was silence. Then suddenly the man said, in a de- finite et ice: "Now, I'll tell you, dear.

Not until after the Norman conquest did the use of hats begin In England. A "hatte of biever" was worn by one of the "nobels of the lande, mett at Clarendon" about the middle of the 12th century; and Freis- sart describes hats that were worn at Edward's court in 1340, when the Garter order was instituted.... Tne merchant in Chaucer"s Canterbury Tales had "On his head a Flaundrish bever hat." Throughout rpediteval times the 'wear- ing of a hat was regarded as a mark of rank and distinction. During the reign of Elizabeth the caprices of fa- shion in hate were many and various. The Puritans affected a steeple crown And broad -brimmed hat, "hie the Cavaliers adopted a lower crown and a broader brine ornamented with feathers. In the time of Charles II still greater breadth of brim and a profusion of feathers were fashion- able features of hats, and the gradual expansion of brim led to the device of INGRATITUDE looping or tying up that portion. Hence arose various fashionable Ingratitude is a nail which driven "cocks" in hats; and ultimately, by the into the twee of courtesy, causes it to wither; it is a broken channel, by which the foundations of the affec- tions are undermined; and a lump of soot, which falling into the dish of friendship, destroys its scent and flavor. -•St. Basil.

The Quaker hat, plain, low in crown, and broad in brine, originated with the sect in the middle of the seventeenth century. The silk hat is an artiee of recent introduction. Though it was known in Florence about a century ago, its manufacture was 'not intra- dueed in France till about 1825, and its development has taken, place entire- ly since that period. -Robert Cortes Holliday, in "Walking -Stick Papers."
