there is any residuum of the old Greek

indicated that the gods of Nature were

ANTIPODES.

There is a darkness in our hemisphere:
Night with infnity, and the clear
Revolving planets lung on high
Amid an opalescent sky.
Upon the quiet earth I see
Moonliyhts that CULVER spectrally,
And black wood solitudes that loom
Like monster shadows in the gloom.

Within a sun-forsaken land,
when sleep, the balm of living, bowers
Hearts that have walked through long day
hours.
Yet while | muse my thoughts are borne
Down golden pathways of the morn
10 ancient continents overseas
Peopled with our a~ntipodes;
And in my fancy / behold
Bright shores of empires centuries old,
And heights which lift their coronal snow
Above green meadow-f1elds below.
i see majestic cities. where
summer and sunlight fill the air;
gaze on antique domes and spires
That sparkle with prismatic fires;
1 watch the stir of human feet
In open country-way and street:

In Orient races of mankind.
There life is living: here it sleeps
Like dusk upon our ocean deeps:
There life is burning at its noon,
And here il dreams beneath the moon.

The heat of August faded INTO the
milder warmth of September, and the
vacations were over; work and the
autumn sessions at school and college
began again. Grace Massey and
Thekla Berghaus returned from Foul
haven, the one to her home. the other
to her lodgings and her studies. faster
friends than ever; while Mabelle and
her sister had to begin their work

"~nearly wild" In vain Thekla tried
to pour balm on the wounded spirit,
by suggesting that Angela could not
know by instinct how intensely dear
Philip was to his sister, nor how the
latter felt the separation. and longed
for news of him--that such knowledge
must come with time, and no doubt
would SO come.

promising reply. ''She does not know

begun to notice certain signs and tokens
about Thekla, and to say to herself:

Whatever the effort might cost the
bleeding heart of Miss Fairfax, it is
very certain that she made a gallant at
tempt to appear to enjoy the ball, and
it was. like most pra:sewOrthy attempts,
rewarded with a fair modicum of sue
cess. While Grace sat glooming at one
side, while Thekla Berghaus danced
for what could Philip Massey's depart
ure to China. or anywhere else, be to
her?--but danced mechanically, and had
nothing but sharp things TO say to her
partners! Angela also danced every
dance. and fascinated all who spoke to
her by her pensive smile and engaging
manners and beaur yenr.
Mr.. FOrdyce, in particular, devoted
himself to her, and Angela was very
kind to him. and helped out his awk-
ward attempts at gallantry and compli-
ments with the tact and delicacy with
which only women ever fully acquire.
What she thought, felt or hoped on
this occasion it is beyond the power of
her ~biographer to say. All the latter
do is to report what the young lady
did, said and looked like. During the
ball she danced much, said very little,
and looked very beautiful. When the
ball was over it was on the arm of MI.
Fordyce that she supported herself as
she and Grace went to their carriage,
Grace going before with Hermann Bcr-

Addison, in one of his quaint articles
on fashion, gives humorous descrip-
ton of the rise and fall of the hairy
towers of ladies' heads. As fashion
willed it, the structure varied in size
and shape, and as it was with the ladies
of Queen Annes time so it is in the
days of Queen Victoria. Not many
years ago huge "chignons" and enor-
nous plaits disfgured the heads of all
womankind, the dealers in human hair
and their accomplices the hair-dressers
grew rich, blessing the latest whim of
the most whimsical among the deities.
But men. or. rather, women, grew
wiser, and all at once the heads, but
recently bowed down by the weight of
artificial hair, were lifted up, and hide
GUS bangs" and classical coils took the
place of the former mOnstrosities. The
change seemed radical. and hair-dealers
were on the brink of despair.
But by-and-by the discovery was
made by one woman and another that
not all lair would "friz," and that even
plain knot of hair at the back of the
head could not be produced without
the aid of the hair-dresser. The appar-
emily simple shape required, in fact.
much more attention than all the
abandoned wealth of plaits and tresses.
Hair-dressers could no longer be num-
berel among the simple workmen. To
satisfy their fair customers they had to
become artists, producing bangs of
airy curls, soft coils, and artifi-
cial partings, yying with nature
in perfection of workmanship.
Long hair had formerly been re-
quired, and high prices are paid for it,
whether it came from a fair haired Ger
man village girl, bride of Heaven in
an italian convent, or whether it had
been the pride of Chinese, who had
only parted with it after death. Now,
however, it was no longer quantity but
quality that was required. and soft
glossy hair, though short, grew to be
highly valued. More attention was
also paid to color, golden hair, the ad-
miration of poets and painters of all
times. becoming the favorite hue,
