some strange gramarye; white hair,
white skin, blue eyes faded nearly to

chief, delicately embroidered by her.

throat. She sits on low box, leaning
against the wall, with three white pill

on the ground; in front of her, another
low box, on this lace-maker's pillow,
with knotted fringe stretched on it; at
her left hand a battered copper caldron
holding hot Goals to warm her fingers
and to light her cigarettes. A match
she will never use; and she has seldom
been without cigarette in her mouth
since she was six years old.-"H H."

The Origin of "Fudge.n

This is curious word, having a pos
tive personality underlying it. Such,
at least, it is, if D'Israeli's account
thereof be authentic. D'Israeli quotes
from very old pamphlet, entitled IRE
marks Upon the Navy" wherein the
author says: "There was in our time
one Capt Fudge, commander of mer-
chairman, the Black Eagle, of the time
of Charles H., who, upon his return
from voyage, how ill-fraught soever
his ship was, always brought home his
owners good crop of lies, so much
that now, aboard ship, the sailors, when
they hear a great lie told, cry out, You
