wished to have the hands at liberty
tucked the fan into the belt, slid the purse
into the corsage and had the handkerchief
carried by gallant, to whom 1t was neces-
sary to apply when it happened to be need
ed. If the handkerchief carrier could not
be found, or was insidiously flirting with
another woman, and the nose imperatively
demanded blowing, the case was serious.
When the French blow the nose, it should
be remembered, it is for all it is worth. No
one who has not witnessed the performance
could ever believe the nasal passages pos
sessed of such q sonorous quality, and
when the effort is several times repeated
one might easily imagine himself listening
to the angel Gabriel rehearsing for the last
Judgment. The French fashion in this re-
spect is not to be recklessly initiated like
Paris styles in laces, silks and satins, fans,
dresses, bonnets and other things pertain
ing to female attire.
The handkerchief of the European peas
ant still maintains its ancient uses of head
covering, perspiration- absorber, nose
wiper and snuff cloth. That of the higher
civilization has dwindled from the tasseled
coverlet carried by the ladies of the renais-
sance and succeeding epochs to bit of lace
against oil prophecies to apply to the nose all
infiamed by the prosaic cold. There is
nothing in the history Of modern emotion
moro narrowing than the struggle between
the necessity OF applying the handkerchlef
to its legitimate use and the desire to keep
it clean. There is no sight more distress
ing than that of a fashionable lady in a
drawing room with bad cold, and lacs
handkerchief regulation size. In the problems
to which the handkerchief has given rise
man has but indirectly shared. There
have been epochs when it has been con-
spicuous part of his attire and one of his
pet vanities, and even now it has some
slight pretense to ornament IN the form of
embroidered initial, fancy hem or foreign
color. but with the male being the nose
wiper has adhered more or less closely to
its traditional use. If it is allowed to peep
in suggestive way from the side pocket of
his coat it is, theoretically, of course, that
he may not be obliged to tumble about in
all his pockets, but may be able easily to
grasp and apply it in case of a sudden
sneeze or any unexpected emanation caused
by the influenza. The vanity is coDse-
quently harmless. As the peasant woman
of Europe by her universal application of
the handkerchief suggests its origin in the
Dark Ages, so the small boy, who exists for
ever in state of barbarism, is by the use of
his sleeve also reminder of the primitive
of the past.

The answer WAS, Yes, an honest man,
who had good children, and died bravely

disappointed, and asked if he knew any
other man more happy than he. Scion
answered that he had known two loving
brothers who were kind TO their mother
and had died tranquil death while pro
