Jeannette had. almost to a fault, a keen personal interest In the smallest detail of the welfare of other persona Her Aunt Maria described It a* “a fondness for putting her fingers Into nther people's pies." Her brother Fred said as graphically that Jeannette liked to "put In her oar;" and even her loyal and cherished mother said that her daughter bad a delightful and sweet.

"My dear." whispered her mother, reproachfully. "you might have been on time—especially when you knew Aunt Maria was going to be here!

The little girl and the old man were fingering the lavender gingham. Jeannette was more and more certain that it would

fade.

•That lilac piece Is real pretty. Screny." said the old man approvingly. "Yea. grandpa." said the small girl. Tt la. and I love that color; It's Just like violets." "It will fade," said Jeannette to herself. "I know It will fade!" '"That pink add white stripe's real pretty, too, deary.” said the old man. -Seein' as you're going to have two. why don't you get that for one? Your ma used to wear them pink and white stripes when she was your elxe." "Did she. really?" said the little girl. •Then I will; It Is real pretty. lU take five yards of this pink and white stripe." she said, shyly, turning to the clerk, "and 1 think I'll take some of this lavender and white check, too; wouldn’t you, grandpa?" T think I would, deary," s&ld the old man; "it's real pretty." This was too much for Jeannette. She touched the little girt lightly on the shoulder. "I think that lavender will fade," she said In a low tone. The little girl looked up In surprise. She stared at Jeannette for a moment; then she said, gravely. "Do you think It win?" The selection of the two new dresses was a serious and weighty matter to her. That a charming girl should see this did not seem at all remarkable to the Uttle girl, or. apparently, to her grandfather. "Do you think It wlU. miss?" the old man said, anxiously, to Jeannette. “Yes," said Jeannette, "I am almost certain it will.

"But It diun't." said poor Jeannette. "It didn't fa^e!" Then ahe told the old man the whole cmuslng story, nnd even called upon him to vMfc.eo the flaunting color In her shirtwaist.

He went with berito the gingham counter; and a-ilh the aid of Jeannette'* shirtwaist, they actually matched the lavender and white check, and Jeannette bought five yard* of It. and sent It with her love to Serena. Then she hurried home to tell the family. In a few days she had a sweet little letter from Serena. “It's Just like a story!" wrote Sevens Joyfully la her postscript. "With a moral." added Aunt Maria. "Which Is—keep your finger* out of other people's plea" "Oh. no!" eald Jeannette's mother. The moral ts. If gou must put your fingers In at all. pul them In aa far ac they will go."

Her mother brought tt. and they, opened it. It was the Identical gingham that little Serena and her grandfather had so reluctantly left unbought! They laughed until the rest of the family hurried to the spot in alarmed surprise, to demand an explanation. The more they explained, the more they laughed. "Anyway.” said Jeannette, at last, "I still think It will fade. I hope It will!” "Jeannette!" they all remonstrated; but Jeannette Insisted. "Imagine how 1 shall feel If it shouldn't—but it will!"

Topic Tip*.

"Walstings" for tbe autumn are unusually attractive this year, Including as they do soft, fine flannels anu pretty silks In fancy and striped effect* and In checks and plaid*. Whit* and cream grounds are favorite*, although every modish color tt offered. Flannels, embroidered and silk striped, are considered very smart. Aa fashion still endorses tha shirtwaist. as well as the shirtwaist coa1. tt behooves one to make early selections before the best patterns are exhausted. Another sartorial edict tt that to be "smart" tbe separate waist and akin must harmonize in color, the waist carrying the principal tone of the skirt, no matter what the ma-

terials.

Tbe heavier cotton fabrics will again s wont In waists during the winter, and the new models continue to preit unique and charming features in yokes, sleeves and finish. Corduroy of soft and lustrous finish is am oaf the early fall materials, and Is being fashioned Into attractive walking coetumee. Browns, dark blue and especially gun metal gray are tbe leading tones In these goods. All the old favorites In the roughfaced fabric*, each as chevlctt, zibe1 and camel's hair, are still to be in high vogue, only their long silky hair seems "more so.” They are charming for winter gowns, being rich and heavy looking and yet ao fine and light of weight. They come In all tbe fashionable colors, rich glossy black; and In two-toned black and gray ef-

fects.

Errors in House Building. The most common error In bouse building Is perhaps to allow too little room for stairs. Stairs are used many times a day, and can hardly be made too easy, but It takes space to make an easy stairway, and arvoid the straight, steep Bight so commonly found. Another common error tt to make tbe batnroom too small. In a household where there are children, a roomy bathroom is more to be desired than roomy bedrooms. A small bedroom. provided it has good air and proper wag space for bed and bureau and a fair sized closet, may be found as desirable as a large one. but the bathroom which must be used by all members of the family 1s much of tener made too small than too large. It heating It tt better to allow a wide margin for an apparatus that can be run at low pressure than a small one that tt constantly worked at tbe top notch, for not only will tbe apparatus work longer, but It will be found to consume quite as little fuel and provide for the occasional extreme temperature. In tbe plumbing, tbe simpler fixtures of tbe best make are desirable. Tbe enameled Iron baths and lavatories, even kitchen sinks, are durable and clean, and. what tt a consideration. more attractive In appearance These are not necessarily the expensive fixture*.
