THE EV NING GAZETTE
_ PAUL AND VIRe1NI-Ax‘
When Paul Irving applied ,for the
position of assistant teacher in Pem-
berton’ academy, and was chosen
through the influence of Harold Red-
mond, who was principal, none, save
the interested parties, knew that he
was a Harvard sophomore, rusticated
for a year.
Irving had looked upon his sentence,
in V..the light of a Joke, ‘but when his'
father refused to view the escapade
in the same sidesplltting manner, and
. had intimated that for. one year- at
least the young man’s presence was
net desired under the parental ro’df,
Paul had remembered his friend Red-,
mond, who gladly smoothed over the
rising difficulty.
“You’ll find the town lively enough,”
said the principal, as with his new
assistant he walked towards the
school house, “and what's more, there
.are lots of pretty girls among the pn-
pils. But let me give you one piece
of advice; don't get smitten on any
of the students, for this beloved vil-
lage is full of gossip.”
“All right, Hal; I'm going to behave
myself while I’m here,” answered
“I don’t think that I’ve com-
nor rather feels it, and when I go back
I’m going to work hard and take my
degree or die.’-’
“That sounds pretty fine," laughed
the other. “But here’s the academy,
my boy, and remember I expect great
things of you.” '
“Blessed are they that expect noth-
ing for they shall not be disappoint-
ed,” said Paul softly, as he took his
place and began his first day’s work.
There was an. air of subdued ex-
citement throughout the building. Dur-
ing the whole school year Virginia
Adams had been in open revolt against
the new teacher. Paul Irving had in-
stituted a stricter regime than the
pupils of Pemberton academy had
known; idle students soon found them-
selves in disgrace and dull ones in
despair. The new and exacting meth-
ods brought no terrors to Virginia at
first, for she scorned imperfect les-
sons. Naturally bright, ‘she had no
difficulty in mastering the‘daily tasks
allotted to the senior pupils but she
was such a lover of her own free will
that Irving saw rocks ahead and was
on the lookout. ‘ '
Virginia, ceming in late, did not
hear the timely warning. and walked.
into the recitation room without even
glancing at the extended lesson.
“There is but one state where fine
and imprisonment are added to the
loss of principal and interest when
usury is the oflenSe,” said Mr. Irv—
ing. “Miss Adams; will tell us its
name.” '
“I don’t know,’. answered Virginia.
“Didnt you learn the lesson?" de-
manded Paul.
“Yes; but I didn‘t know we were
supposed to learn the states,” was
Virginia’s answer. '
“Where were yen when 1 announced
that in future we would omit nothing?
Late, as usual, I believe. You Will
remain to-night and I'll hear you re-
cite it. Miss Gilman may'answer the
- question.”
“I don't know whether you’ll hear
me recite that or not,” said the girl
to herself. “I’m no mind reader, and
I’m not to blame, since I didn't know
the lesson," and the black eyes be-
tokened stormy weather.
Irving sat at his desk and Virginia
stood'near a window overlooking the
square. ‘
“Whenyou are ready to recite, Miss I
Adams, I will be glad to listen,” said
Paul, when fifteen minutes had ticked
away slowly.
“I am not going to recite that les-
son, ” she answered, looking up at him
with a world of defiance in her dark
eyes.
“Very well,” he answered quietly. '
“you will remain here until you an-
swer that question, then I may omit
the remainder.”
She started toward the doorway, but
Irving frustrated her design by clos-
ing the door and standing before it.
“You will please be seated and take
out your book. It is nearly 5 o‘clock,
and the sooner you learn that lesson
the better. I shall call and .see your
father this evening,” 'he continued,
now thoroughly. angry,
he can use some influence and! insist
on your compliance with the rules."
Virginia sat down at the desk- and
bowed her head on her hands. Twen-
ty minutes passed away and still she
(lid not move. Paul began to show
signs of weakening. “After all ” he
thought “she didn’t know I had ex-
tended the lesson. D'ur little girl, I
wish those confounded states were in
Kalamazoo before I told her to learn
them. If she’d only cry and give a
fellow a chance to say something.”
_Here he walked-over to the desk.
“Virginia,” he said softly. but there
was no reply. Suddenly seating him-
self beside her, he took the little hand
in his, but the slender fingers refused
an answering touch.
“I give in,‘Virginia," he said. “You
need not' learn that lesson. Let me
teach you another, dear. I hope with
mom success. Surely you know that I
love you. but please answei me this V
lime?’
But Vi1ginia looked at him with her
hea1t in he1 e3 es and answered meek-
]v_. :,
‘ The state is Idaho.”

“What did he do to you?" asked the
girls in cherus, when Miss Adams ap-
peared the next" morning, ten minutes
before the required time. “Gertie
Gilman said she saw you walking up
together as jolly as could be long af-
ter ,5 o'clock, and Belle Marshall’s
brother met him in your street awful
late last night. Did you recite to him,
and what did he say?”
“Yes, I learned my lesson. but he

_ V In. Steel filo. Taffeta.

A decidedly elegant confection is of
steel blue taffeta, the skirt is cut in
two parts, upper and lower part added
in a finance. The flounce is attached
to the yoke with an embroidered band
of taffeta and the skirt is made over
a separate lining of soft taffeta. The
corsage is of the taffeta, while the vest
is of cream colored embroidered satin.
Lovely Picture Hats.
Full broad ostrich plumes in black,
white, yellow, pink, mauve, or gray
are used on round hats of chip, Milan
braid,— Leghorn, or Cuban straw. There
is no conglomeration or trimmings on
hats from Paris thus decorated, a band
of broad satin or velvet ribbbn around
the crown, and perhaps a few hand-‘
some- loopsnand a costly buckle, being
the only additional garnitures. These
elegant hats stand out in marked con«
trast to the majority of greatly over-
ladene'head'a-‘covsrin-gs of the season,
and-are decidedly the most desirable

and beautiful models among the vast
exhibit of summer styles. Notably
handsome are the flue French Leghorn
picture hats trimmed with pure white
ostrich plumes and Venetian lace,
white 'satinVVloops, and a buckle or
scintillating French brilliants.
Airy feather algrettes and Paradise
plumage are still used on large round
hats.
seme of the new sailor hats are fln—
ished with a roll of straw all around
the edge of the brim.
This promises to be “a white sum-
mer” in dressy gowning, just as black,
touched up with 21 becoming color,
proved a very favorite style of dress
during the winter and early spring
seasons.
How to Preserve the Teeth.’
A very little time spent each day in
me care of the teeth will more than
amply repay. one for the trouble that
may be takeni' White teeth are within
reach of everyone, and. it is only the
people 'who object. to taking any
trouble who suffer from this-neglect.
It ls'Vnot only personal appearance that
is concerned, but also health, as indi-
gestion andvarious other‘ills follow in
the-train- of badly—kept teeth. Every-
body should consider it a duty to
brush the teeth twice'a day at least, in
the morning and evening. Some peo-
Me Who are noted for the beauty of
their teeth brush them after every
meal; while if a man who is a smoker
makes a point of brushingthem after
every pipe he indulges in, he will avoid
that yellow tint so frequently seen on
the teeth of inveterate smokers, besides
keeping that disagreeable smell of
stale tobacco at a distance.

BY H._S. KELLER.
“Colonel, why didvlyou never mar-
If a cyclone had struck the
sharp-featured man l'who sat with his
feet elevated upon the iron railing of
the veranda, it could not have caused
him to Start up more Quickly.
Snipped the ashes from his cigar,
paced to the father end of the ver-
anda, and returning to the question-
er.’s side, he said,—,-_
“Harry, what made you ask me that
queStion?”
The young man, upon whose shoul-
der the other’s hand rested lightly}
lifted his eyes. Evidently the colonel
was deeply moved.
“Why, all men marry; that is, men
of means or—‘anyhow they should
marry. "
“But you are not married. ” '
“And for a good reason; I am not
able.”
“But you could support a very com-
fortable household if you were not-—
well, what you are,” said the colonel,
_as he moved away.
“Ah! Hold on, colonel! do not leave
me in that—he’s gone!”
The other, paying no attention to
his words, 'Went down the broad ‘steps
and walked aWay into the moonlight.
“1 know what he means; he might
just as well told me in somany words
—spendthrift! Hang it all! I know
very well that I am careless about
finances and all that sort of thing. If
I had been forced to work early I’d
know the value of dollars, and be a
very different sort of chap now. Ah,
Well! Life is too short to fret over
mistakes gone and done for. Edith
Lisle is a—here she comes now.”
Was it the tap-tap of tiny feet or
the frou-frou of snowy skirts that
made Harry Lancaster’s heart throb
tumultuously? It was both-and the
fact that the woman he loved more
than all others was nearing him. Bis-
ing,’ he tossed his cigar away, lifted
his hat and offered the charming crea-
ture in white a chair. '
“Do not disturb yourself, Mr. Lan-
caster; I merely came for a brief walk
up and down the veranda Isn't it a
lovely evening?"
“It is indeed a delightful evening.
If you will not rest here for a few mo-
ments, will you permit me to offer
you _my arm fer the stroll?”
She laid her dainty hand upon his
arm, and the pair strolled slowly to
the farther end of the veranda; they
turned to retrace their Steps when
Edith said, -—
“Was not that a firefly? Over them.
among the bushes to the left? See,
there it-is again, and such a glowing
one, too! There, it has disappeared."
“It may befla firefly, 'but-‘it is'jmy
opinion that Colonel ". Drake of: the
Regulars is smoking a cigar'out there
among the 'shadows," said Harry.
“Is that charming old-Dear.:here?.”
she suddenly asked, allowing her
hand to slip from the others arm. '
“He came this afternoon ”' .
“And as I was not down to tea I
did not meet him. "
“You seem to be acquainted with
the colonel, Miss Lisle. ” -
“Fairly; but really I ought not ’to
have spoken 'so shockingly about a
very fine gentleman. He is quite en-
gaging—but I detest that absurd idea
about his strange umbrella."
“Umbrella? What umbrella,m may I
ask?” inquired Harry, puzzled at he:
remazk. 4 u two”
‘Why, have you never heard about
the colonel's umbrella?”
“Never ” .
“Colonel Drake possesses a blue, old.
fashioned umbrella which is supposed
to be a very potent love-charm, or
something like that. Plainly, so it is
told, when he invites a lady to share
its shelter against the rain, her heart
is won forthwith. Strange, is it not?" '1
“Absurd! Have you ever-—”
“No, not yet.’--’ '
“I should not like you to accept its
shelter ever—though I do not believe
in such silliness,” softly said Harry.
If she understood his meaning she
was coy of acknowledgment, for, lift.
ing her hand to his arm again, the
pair resumed the stroll.
The next morning Harry Lancaster's
heart sank when he looked from the
window and saw the leaden clouds
scurrying along the darkened sky.
When he entered the dining-room he
saw that 'Miss Lisle’s chair was-va-
cant. Ah! the colonel’s chair, too, was
vacant! Over his coffee Harry made
the resolve to make a break bef01e
night. He wouldask her for that
dainty white hand.
' After breakfasting he went to the
smoking-room and seated himself near
a window overlooking the white
stretch "of sand, the curling waves and
the foam-capped billows beyond.
Ah! A couple approached from the
beach. The gentleman carried—a
blue umbrella! ' '
It was the colonel’s blue umbrella:
it was the colonel, but—who was the
lady?
“Miss Lisle, by Heavens! Psha'w!
I‘m a fool to think there is anything
strange about this. What do I care
about that blue umbrella and its
potent love charm?"
Two hours afterward, Edith Lisle
blushed as Harry Lancaster asked her
a question. She recovered quickly
and said softly,—
“Mi. Lancaster, the potency, of, the
blue umbrella is not a fiction. He is
not-harming gentleumu. and—I always
did like soldiers. FI——I——thank you, and
well—I simply said yes under the blue
umbrella; and I hope we shall re-
main friends.”

' The Sunday-school teacher had
reached a; point in the lesson where
she was dwelling upon the future re-
,ward of those who behaved properly
here, when the audacious small boy,
:who frequents most Sunday—schools,
{spoke up and asked if all good people
.went to Heaven.
“Certainly," replied the teacher.
: “wen, has my grandmother gone to
Heaven?” persisted the youngster.
“Surely she has, my boy, if she was
{a good woman.”
: “No, she hasnfit” declared the fun-
