Uncle John, however, did not seem to think as I did, and the last thing he said 10. me was to write him a long letter as soon as I saw you, and to tell him all about you and whether you were happy. and to let him know if he could ever be of any service to vou in any way at all. It gave me the creeps almost, when he told me all this. He was so anlemn about it one might have though that there was some danger surrounding you which had caused him to fear for your safety. I told him that I would write him all about you and I am go- ing to do it as soon as I return to Pass Christian." Her conversation was interrupted by Miss Thompson returning with my tickets, which she handsd me, tell- ing me at the same time that my train would depart in a little more than an hour, "Your train?" exclajmed Mariam. * Are you going away?" "Yes, dear," I told her. "I am leav- ing New: Orleans tonight." "Oh, Roxane!" cried Mariam. "I thought I was going to have you all to iayself once more!"

"All ready .for fall hats" is the slogan of the milliners, and although these new ideas are hidden in band- boxes on the shop-shelves until the auspicious moment for display, the women who are "first for the latest" are warned to be prepared. Time was when a woman could get into a dark straw of the year before vintage and by furnishing it up a bit with new trimmings could make it do until real winter arrived, Not so now. Fashion man and woman start- &l in with the mercury hovering in the ninties to prophesy that velvet and velour would be the proper thing for fall' hats, with Jersey cloth, satin and felt second. Although there is'to be very little trimming, the prices wil: be high. The crowns and brims are whatever one pleases. There are high and low crowns, broad and narrow brims and hats which show no brim on one side and a broad one on the other. Wav- ing and flopping brims and strictly tailored ones will be in style. | Velvet will spread--itself-a scarcity in dyes from abroad, no one would suspect it from the display of riotous colorings which will greet the eye when the opening time arrives. : ---- Colors Are Varied.
