though YOU may be sure it was with kind

took her as his honored wife to his noun
tain home.
Marie was never her old self but she
settled quietly down with honest purpose
and endelvor to be good and faithful
wife. And she succeeded-if not to her
own satisfaction 1T least to Jeans, who
treated her with all the native chivalry Of
his noble nature.
SO two eventful years passed away.
Jeln Coutellier's unpretentious home
was twelve miles away from Jacques Car

the foreSt-clad hills. Right in front Of
the house was rocky mountain path,

One gray morning In October Marie
Madame Coutellier now-was pacing slow
~ up and down tho porch in front of hei
husbands cottage. Everything looked
melancholy enough up there on the hills.
Ominous clouds were sweeping down the
mountains in sheets of mist and vapor,
and the rcd leaves hung damp and life
less ON the trees. The sunshine and tho
summer were gone from nature, rs the
sunshine and summer of her life had gone
from Marie. She looked very sad and old
for girl of twenty-five; for although
she tried sincerely to make her husband
happy and to repay him as we'll as she
could for his great love, she found it hard
work
Down the narrow mountain path she
could see Jean mending a fence which
ran along the. edge of the path where the
gorge was Particularly deep ard danger

was apparently happy and contented.
Presently up the tack came horse
man. At tilst only his head was visible to
Marie, but. as strangers were rare in that
remote neighborho cd, she watched him
until he was in full view by which time
he was quito co sc to her husband.
Very keenly she eyed him, for his figure
seemed familiar. Could it be? All, yes;
there was only one man just like that iii

fNEw YORK CORRESPONDENCE.
Coquettish breakfast caps are tho
latest affectation OF young housewives
and unmarried girls. The picture
shows two examples of this sort OF
head-dress The casual observer may
see no difference in this dress from
those that are usually worn by wait
resses, though theirs are generally
koarser in texture. The really expert
eye can discern at q glance why these
two likenesses are those of mistresse1
and not of serving maids; the distinc'
ton is in the hair. No fashionable
housewife now permits her servant
girls to wear bangs. All the ihdicar
tions of intelligence tina. belong to a
high and bare forehead are given up
to the menials, while the women to
whom, for politeness sake, must be ac-
corded superior intellectually, lower
frizzled bangs as are shown in the
picture. All danger of confounding
the employers and the employees stops
at the neck No waitress in q stylish
dining-room would be allowed to wear
either the high collar of velvet and
lace which encircles the neck of one
of these figures, nor would she be
permitted even the moderate lowness
of corssge displayed in the other in
stance. But these directions are
Cor masculine readers What ladies
will care to know is that breakfast
caps have come into vogue again for
them, and that great display of good
taste may be employed in forming
them so that they will be suitable and
decorative to the heads upon which
they will be placed, There are reports
from London and Paris in regard to
hair dressing that the bang must go,
and to certain extent it has already
gone from those cities. | am told by
o tourist that high foreheads (some of

If the forehead is too low for this style
the hair is cut and depila. oriss to eradi-

us are able to remember ladies who had
q triangular tlft of white hair over the

She had perceived that for one or both
of the men certain death was close at
hand. BY interfering, she knew that she
could save one of them n terrible fate; so
she saved the man she loved, and thlt
man WAS not her husband. AS she had

TIE fact that the population in
France is rem lining stationary, if not
actually diminishing, has provided po-
litical economists and moralists with
a fertile theme for comment. A paper
lately real by NJ Lagneau to the
Academy of Medicine on the tendency
OF Fren III families toward rapid extinc-
ton throws a new light on the subject.
1t has been calculated that of one
hundred families existing in the time
of King Philippe August, who died
in 1923, only four had representatives
surviving in 1910. Among the savants
of differe 1T countries it has frequently
be mr. ntained that while such ten
dency prevails among the upper classes
tn reverse WAS the case with the low
or; but NJ. Lagneau pointed out that
in Frame statistics proved that there
was not the slightest difference in this
respect between rich and poor, all Sec
tions of society alike betraying the
same tendency to extinction in the
male line. A careful calculation
thosed that as matters a. Present
stand one hundred families, each with
three children, would in the second
genera ion have among them all sum
total of eight three scendants, tina.
in the fifth generation half tn Sc fami-
lies would have no male representa-
tives, and that in the fifteenth the fam
lily name in nine out of ten case would
perth altogether. NJ. Iagneau con-
cluded with the significant remark that
