season till this year it has reached
point that causes alarm among the
conservatives of these places. Not
that the well-formed girls at the fashion
able hotels think that there is anything
extreme in the bathing dresses that
they appear in. They think that the
style is just the thing. The short skirts
and the rather low neck and short
sleeves are rather attractive to the eyes
of the young men. The complaints
come from the older married women,
and in some instances from the girls
themselves who would not look so
charming in the new style of bathing
dress. The charge made this season is
that very modest young women OF Muir
ray Hill and other fashionable parts of
New York, who stand firmly on all the
minutest rules of prOpriety, dress atthe
seashore as if they cared nothing for the
stares and remarks OF the men who look
on. This is very annoying to the
prudiSh side of society at the beach.
About the most objectionable OF all the
extreme bathing costumes to be seen
hereabouts was the one made in this city
after design by the young lady her
self. 1t has been on exhibition several
times during the past week at neigh
boring resort. The pantalettes are made
very short, while the stocking is very
long, and is joined above the knee with.
red ribbon set Off with a bow. The
bodice is cut low, both front and back,
with shoulder ribbons one-eighth Of an
inch in width. The pantelettes have
red borders. while the stockings have
stripes running almost to common
point at the ankle. The effect of this
Ostume is SAID to be stunning.

THE HEIGHT OF CHIVALRY.
How Quick-Witted Youth Re
lieyed q Woman's Dilemma,


A Young woman took out of the tiny
side pocket of her natty yachting blouse
half a pocket handkerchief. 1t was
large parallelogram of fine white cam
brio, hemstitched on three sides. The
fourth had been cut with some sharp
instrument. She smoothed it out over
her blue serge lap with approving little
pats of dimpled white hands and eX-
claimed:
'Talll about chivalrous creatures in
days of old, pirate knights of yore, quote
the r-Walter-Raieigh-an d-the-muddy
your tales with a story of nice boy of
the period that beats them ALL
"The other day | came out without a
a handkerchief. When l missed it l
was as far from shop where such arti-
Giles are sold as Sidney Smith once found
himself from lemon. The immortal
young man discovered my dilemma. He
didn't offer to give me his handkerchief.
[ should have certainly declined if he
had. The sun was beating down
fercely, the thermometer was way up
in G, and every human countenance
was perSpirlng like an old-fashioned
refrigerator. couldn't have deprived
him of his handkerchief at such a mo-
ment. But l wasn't called to. He
promptly said he would divide it with
me, whipped out a penknife, bisected
his mouchoir, and thereby made me
comfortable, while he still had enough
left to mop his own fevered brow.
Girls! / think more of this half hand
kerchief than of any german favor Igot

stored the fragment to her pocket with
a triumphant flourish.

M. de Ryant, who had followed his
wife and entered the chamber almost
as soon as Fernando herself had been
carried to it, had only to place dis
creetly a bill for l,000f. upon the Chin
ney-piece, and then to transport her as
speedily as the horses could go, back
again to her own hotel. Lights were
burning in her apartment, and her huS-
band sat beside her when once more
she awakened to the cruel life from
which she believed she had escaped.
She looked about her vaguely.
''Have you not forgotten, my dear
est?' her husband said to her in a clear.
firm voice; .''haYe you not forgotten that
in two hours time begins the premiere
of 'Francillon"
ALL PARIS MUST SEE YOU THERE.
1t is time that you were making ready.'
Fright seized her, but nj. de Ryant
continued in tone that mastered her:
not be made ridiculous. Your women
are here. They will dress YOU"
And those women, with the eye of the
master upon them, took that living
corpse and began to clothe it, and she,
that deSpairing one, permitted them to
do it, having neither strength to resist
the cruelty nor voice to protest against
it. Her eyes were fearless, her face
white as clay, her body racked with
convulSiye Shivers; but her decollete
robe spread out its long train of shining
satin, diamonds sparkled upon her neck
and arms.
AN DOOR OF VIOLETs
exhaled from her garments, and that
tortured creature felt herself borne
along like the helpless victim of hide
GUS nightmare.
Drop by drop life seemed to be going
from her. and she asked herself if the
sufferings she endured were not in
reality death, but death without forget
fulness, and with thought!
The second act was well under way
when M. and Nine. de Ryant entered
their loge, No. q. and well to the front.
A stir ran through the hall as they were
Servain, the composer, was the gossip
of the cOulsseS and the corridors. Was
the comtesse. then, ignorant of her
lovers death? No, certainly not; she
was bound to have known it. Then,
had they deceived themselves? Had
Henri Servain not been the comte ,se's
lover? They talked so much in Paris,
the truth of these things could never be
known?
All the same, there were still many
in that crowded house who suspected
the tragedy.
THE FRIGHTFUL TRAGEDY.
Passing above them in that velvet
hung box, NJ. de Ryant saw and felt
this. and the whisper which he leant to-
ward his wife was no less threatening
than the anxious curiosity of the
crowd:
Courage, Fernando, Public opinion,
Fernando! They regard u.s."
Indeed they did, and in corner
three Partisan idlers discussed the ques-
ton with careless frankneSS.
"Bahn said one of them at last,
with smothered laughter; with cold and
cruel laughter, "bah. I'll settle the mat

more attractive than her sisters. She
is the favorite sister of her younger
brother, Prince George, whom she
much res embies in character and
disposition. She is spirited
girl, with will of her own, and
when the time comes forthe bestowing
of her hand in marriage she will have
something to say, undoubtedly, con-
corning the choice of her bridegroom.
In the days before the princesses had
been introduced into society she was
the only one of the three who used to
fight vigorously, though vainly, against
the peculiarly hideous garments. the
cotton gowns and bearskin capes and
such like elegancies, which the Princess
of Wales used to inflict upon her daugh
tiers. The second daughter, the Princess
Victoria, is plain and stupid-looking,
like her elder sister.

DISCARDED WEDDING RINGS.
A Freak of Fashion That Some
Fools Bow To.

If marriage is not a failure there isn't
a question as to the Indifferent regard
in which the wedding ring is held, re-
marks the New York World. Even the
jeweler has contemptuous way of pre-
senting the toy of plain gold bands and
tantalizing preference for dismal
tunes which he huns or whistles softly,
but none the less significantly, as he
makes a note of the initials to be in
scribed. Very young brides wear the
yellow band, but in swell circles young
married ladies have the bravado to lay
aside the emblem of undying love as
soon as the honeymoon is over.
Among older wives the ring is dis
carded altogether, and if you inquire
about it the matrOn will calmly tell you
1T is such an questionable piece of
jewelry to be obliged to wear, and as
result the young lady daughters in the
family are married with seal ring, not
one of which can be procured for the
paltry 81, the price of the yellow band.
Emeralds, rubies and turquoise, set i'm
small, but brilliant diamonds, are pop
ular as wedding jewels, and not
a few bridegrOOnlS have welded
their Ideal with a marquise of dia-
mOnds. A bride of month ago was
married with a Serpentine ring, COM
posed of two snakes eXQuisitely carved,
each with a precious jewel in its head.
To slow the low degree of enthusiasm
for the time-honored symbol of conjugal
love- at the last coaching club dinner
party given i'll the Brunswick but three
ladies out of forty, all attended by their
husbands, wore the plain gold band.
There were clusters of diamonds,
circlets of pearls and solitaire stones by
the quart, but the single trio displayed
the simple yellow hoop.
Grass widows find the band particNs
larly obnoxious, and those gay and fest
i've wives who have few more links of
freedom than is wholesome never give
it position outside of the jewel casket.
At the resorts and in social gatherings
one hears frequent outbursts from the
young and innocent society men, who
protest against what they consider mis-
placement of the only badge that distin-
cuisines married woman from

BELLS OF THE ANGELUS.

Bells of the past whose unforgotten music
Still fills the wide expanse,
Tinging the sober twilight of the present
With color of romance.
I hear you call and see the sun descending
On rocks. and waves, and sand,
As down the coast the mission voices blend
ing
Girdle the heather land.
Within the circle of your incarnation
No blight nor mildew falls:
Nor fierce unrest. nor lust nor lost ambition
Passes those airy walls.
Borne on the swell of the long waves, reced-
ing,
touch the farthest past
1 see the dying glow of Spanish glory,
The sunset dream and last.
Before me rise the dome-shaped mission
towers,
The white presidio,
The swart commander In his leathern jerkin,
The priests in tone of snow.
Once more l see Portala' cross uplifting
Above the setting sun.
And past the headland northward, slowly
drifting,
The frightened galleon.
o, solemn bells. whose consecrated masses
Recall the faith of old
o, tinkling bells. that lulled with twilight

Break, falter. and are still:
And, veiled and mystic, like the host de-
scending,
The sun sinks from the hill

course of their conversation he in
formed Mr.. Brainard that he had gained
all his knowledge of the English Ian

"There is one word in your English

A HUGE MOUNTAIN LION.
A Brave Woman Kills a Cougar
Single-Handed.

Single andcd.
Vancouver World.
Hanging in frot of Mr.. A. W.Wright's
meat market to-day is a monster cou-
gar, which was brought in this morning
from the North Arm, by Albert Evans,
on whose premises it was found in
trap at an early hour this morning.
Mrs Evans heard the wailings of the
animal, whose right fore leg was in the
trap. The enraged animal made
great efforts to be released from the
trap jaws, which held it a pris-
will. On seeing Mrs. Evans the
fury of the animal knew no bounds. 1t
Kissed, crouched and then sprang as far
as its chain would let itreach; but all of
no avail. Mrs. Evans, fearing trouble if
the enraged monster got away from the
death grip in which it was held. ran to
the house and got rifle which was
loaded already with cartridge.
With the weapon raised to her shoul-
der and bead taken on the animals
right ear, when within a distance of
twenty feet of it she drew the trigger,

in which is to be observed a mass of
huge teeth. 1t was in fine condition,
having evidently Jared well on the fat
lings of the best flockS of that section.
Mr. Evans yesterday had killed young
calf, and it is supposed the smell of the
gore attracted the cougar to the spot.
1t is not known whether the govern
ment offers reward for the capture of
this, the most ferocious of all the wild
animals which prowl through our for
ests and live on stock whenever they
approach where there are settlements.
If not, liberal reward should be given,
for it is a very destructive animal.

peasant and working class females,
and thus are made false to the mar
rageS they subsequently make. An
unmarried French women or virgin
over forty years of age dare not walk
in the streets in daytime lest the tender
young thing would be spoken to by
bold man.
She still walks out with a duenna
and looks down, as if chances might be
her demolition. | sat before the cafe
of the Hotel de France, looking at the
old French duennas accompanying the
French old maids across the square
tittering things, with low-quartered
shoes, who would not now recognize a
become in preparation, so low the oil i'll
their virgin lamps-foolish, unnatural
virgins, who faint at the cry: Behold,
the bridegroom cometh" That is to
say, they faint on false claims, for
he does not mean to come. Family
suspicion, the result of the false
heartedness of French marriage, re-
CARDS the heart of man and woman
not to be trusted. Hence they do not
meet with the freedom of innocence.
The girls, kept in a dungeon at the time
they dream of Excepting house," like
other children, marry any man pre-
Sented, that they may get out OF Jail;
then they regard the marriage as not
binding on the heart or the habits. The
cOnstraint of systems poSons nature at
the fountain: love is the mighty tide of
life, bearing on its bosom the passion
and destiny of species, and false is the
man or king to Nature and her sway who
reduces it to bondage that gives the
heart no choice and the birds of the air
not the aft mites of selection
France is a suspected country, and it
suspects everybody else; it is a country
where the maids are not permitted to
know from without what they learn
from within. and the wives do not in
form with what they learn without.
The worst OF it is that this corrupt con-
dition, being in the hands of restless,
artistic, vivacious people, is contami-
mating the surrounding nations. Thus
hyp 'riSy, the formal verislmilitude of
conformity in one faith and innocence
in one marriage, has devoured France.

but the dresses were more simple and
much less eXtravagant than in former
years. The party was interesting from
an esthetic point of view, as it marked
the epoch of the entire abandonment of
an artificial excrescence behind. Every
one. with few exceptions, wore per-
fectIy plain skirts, with little or no
trimming, and as flat behind as in
front-a fashion most becoming to
slight figures.
