The companion sketch is a voluminous
cape of black, green and blue plaid cheviot,
with narrow lines of bright yellow to
brighten the dull tints. The folds which
give the necessary fullness are fastened
with O plaided enamel buckle on the Shout
der, and the front is wide enough to extend
entirely across the chest, and is thrown
over the right shoulder in shepherds plaid
fashion. The collar. which fits smoothly
soma inches below the throat, is of black
Persian lamb. This cape may be made Of
the same material as the dress, or it may be
worn over any kind Of tight fitting Jacket,
in which case the latter should have Persian
cuffs, and the mdffs should correspond

: L1xaries were SO neceSary to Brummel
mat hs could not pay for the necessarles Of
life He was reduced TO such straits that he
had weekly struggle with his wasaer-
woman 10 get possession Of his linen. He
preserved his old impuience through all his
Irials. It seems that he slanderad an old
FRENCH oncer whose nose had been shot of
10 battle. The officer was staying at Calais,
ana the Beau, who disliked him, said that
he was not military man, bat a retired
halter. The irascible old man called for an
explanation. Il am sorry" said the Beau.
"ehat any one should have supposed that
could have heen guilty of sucn a breach of
good manners. In fact, l don't remember
ever having dealt with halter without a
nose"
AT this time Brummel's pet, q fat aud
wheezy terrier named Wick. died. and the
Beau remarked he had lost the only friend
he had in the world.
In 1921 the Prince of Wales, who had be-
come George w., passed through CALAIS. In
the crowd that made way for tue royal car
rage stood the Beau, hat in hand He met
the eyes Of his royal friend and patron.
GOOD God, BrummelP exclaimed the king;
but he said it, perhaps, more in surprise
than in pity. The Beau sent his majesty
some choice snuff and maraschino, delicl-
cle5 that the prince was once fond Of.
"Give him tnis-I suppose il is what be
wantsw exclaimed the king. And BOO
was thrown TO the Beau, as if it had been
bone to q dog.
The prince and the dandy never met
again.

The preceding rules and explanations of
the game give all that Beginners need to
acquire as TO the manner OF PLAYING, but a
little prac ice will show that a players
success Will largely depend upon the skill
he acquires in leading. 1t is impossible to
show here how much may be gained in this
way, but we may give one ms ancs. Sup
pose player TO hold the ace, king. queen,
kuave, ten, seven, three aud two of a suit.
II he were to lead queen, knave aud ten, his
opponent might win with the eight aud
score fifty. or the sequence might run down
Co the five and be taken by his opponent, who
would score eighty. The Leader could not
afterward SCORE off the two three lead, as
his opponent not having the four there
would be mo sequence" and all that he
would get from the suit would DO ton for
his ace II, however, lie started tho suit by
leading ten, knave. queen, and il his oppo-
nent held the king he would, by adding the
ace. take the sequence of Ave cards and
score fifty, and if not. would still score
thirty for the three cards played. II his
opponent afterward led nine, eight, he
might make sequence of three with his
seven, or possibly one Of eight with his three,
two.
The element of uncertainty in the game
ia, OF course, produced by the fact that
seventeen cards, the values OF which are
unknown are withdrawn from it, but carer
full play will do much to discount any dis
advantage player may blunder through
the fall of the cards, and tho happy blend
ing of chance and skill in the control OF tae
game thus obtained can scarcely fail TO
enhance the pleasure it will be found
capable of affording. OWN RAY.

1t was in the year of 1916 that Brummel
settled in Calais. He was never to see
England again. He had reached the noun
tain top of success and now was about to
make tue descent. Taking quarters at an
inn, he had them appointed luxuriously in
his favorite ormulu furniture; and, al
though he was practically pennlless, began
to live on the fat of the land. He, was like a
kiGg in exile. Great ones from London
visited him, and be was graciously pl ased
to receive their homage-also, no doub BIT,
their money. "Why, Brummel," said
London friend one day. there's rurnor
on the other side of the channel that you're
dead"
stock jobbIng. my boy" said the Beau,
calmly, ''only stock jobbing.n
While he was a cold blooded man and not
burdened with deep sense of honor, Brum-
mel respected the proprieties Of the society
In which he had lived. There was no time
in the latter part of his career when he
could not have commanded large sum by
selling his recollections of court life, for he
possessed all the gossip of desolate epoch.
But he would no more think of raising
money in this dishonorable way than Of
working for it. Besides, he had promised
the Duchess of York, who had been very
kind to him during all his career, that he
would betray no family secrets, and he kept
his word. For the duchess, too, be
deigned to stoop to the only appearance of
work that marked his career. He patched
for her an ornamental fire screen.
Though daily sinking deeper into debt he
dressed as elegantly as ever. In his blue
coat with velvet collar, buff waistcoat,
black trousers, and with brown silk Hm-
brella cased in tight-fitting silk envelope.
he was still a leader, foremost in Calais as
as he had been in London. HIS bat he wore
balanced on one side Of his head, and so
nicely adjusted that it was not to be lifted,
even TO ladies.

What They Meant.

When children are impressed by the personal misfortunes of others, they doubtless feel tepderer sympathy than do most older people. A little girl once asked why friend who had been i'll with smallpox had marks on her face" The reason was told her. and, though she said nothing in reply, her face was grave and thoughtful for many hours afterward.
 Some time later her little brother saw Negro whose face was similarly marred, and considerably amused al what he thought the mans very funny appearance.
 He's got holes all over his facen' he whispered to his sister, in high glee, but that young lady gravely drew him aside into n corner.
 Tommy do you know what those marks mean9" she asked, impros. sively
 Tommy shook his head, his eyes growing. very large and round.
 They mean he's been very sick. " said the little preacher, s'and that he most died, and God made them there on his face, so folks would always re. member to be sorry when they looked at him."

Seal Skins Go to England

It is perhaps not generally known in this country that every seal skin taken by the authorized agents of this government form the Seal lands, the Alaska Commercial company, is sent to London to be dressed. And they are then returned to the United States to be sold, paying duty. although they are the actual ..catch" of Ameri- cans and originally the property of the United States. The claim is that the process of tanning the skins to make tho fur sealskin of commerce is sc- cret which for several generations has been rigidly kept by one family and its successors. and that nowhere else can these skins be satisfactorily or pro. tiiably tanned. Once that was n fact. Now customs officers who have paid much attention to this subject. and who have visited England more than once to ascertain the truth. say that while this ancient family still lay claim to be the sole possessor of this great and profitable secret, as q matter of fact American skins are tanned for the market by at least a dozen houses. The process. however. is still secret and 1t is in the pos. session of a few, 1t has never been brought to the United States, One oi the highest officials of the govern. ment who has given this subject much attention, says that he has n plan formed to suggest to the President and to congress that. in the making of the new contract for the capture of the fur seals, the government shall make some provision that the skins shall be tanned in the United States. "Such . policy on the part of the government, V said this official. swould have the effect to save 35 per cent duty to all American purchasers of the furs, and would force some of the London firms to establish houses in the United States for carrying on this tanning business"

Race p,.,lae.ie.,.

A capital illustration of one difficulty connected with any scheme for forcing the negroes out of America is told by Secretary Ryder At the commence ment exercises Ut Fisk University one setsou a visitor sitting on the platform asked concerning one of the graduates who acquitted himself remarkably well. nnd whose skin was as fair as his own. Who Is that young feliowaN Astound- ed on being told that he was a negro the visitor carefully scanned the young mans face for a long time. determined to study out the pecuiarities of feature that marked his race. Satisfied with his long serutiny he again gave atten. ton to the exercises. As finely ap- bearing girl finished her essay he whispered to the white professor q, his side: Il can detect now the distin. gulshing marks --a little Aattcning of the nose. slightly thicker lips, and . little rctreating of the forehead. But II had not been deceived tn regard 10 the boy never should have dreamed that this young lady is negro" Tc which tho professor unexpectedly re. piled; Sir, that Is my daughter"

"What Time is It?"

A Chicago newspaper man is said to have hit upon n new trick for de ceiving his wife as to the exact time of his arrival Ut home. He has n clock in his house that strikes "l'' at the half hour. and when he has a night of he guages himself to get homo few minutes before some hall hour lift is o'clock he waits until about 4:20, and then he goes bust. ling in making noise enough to wake up the dead. The sleepy wife throws the covers ofl her head and says: "Ohl is 1t your What time is ite'' The husband replies carclsssly "'Time? Nearly I, l guess; I don { know exactly, my dear" By this time tho clock strickcs ''1'' and the wife is satisfied. Long before the hour ot is reached tho wife is again fast asleep, and she never suspects her lord and master has played 1t on her. The scheme may work well for newspaper men. but tho ordinary citizen, who ought to bs at thome and In bed ct 10 o'clock, will have to think oi something bstter~ adapted " " VDb

 was introduced to Thompson at Austin, Tex. and the meeting was not in n saloon, gambling house nor ever n hotel The place was n quiet, orderly ice-cre am parlor, and Ben Thompson and his wife wereeat- ing strawberry cream at table near by to a coterie oi high,school girls, one of them being daughter of ex- Governor Ireland of Texas.
 Thompson was Il small-sized man, yet not slender. He was elegantly, vel not showily, dressed, his clothes indicated u correct taste, n diamond stud and thread of gold watch chain comprising all his personal jewelry. He was a handsome man oi forty-five, with small, black mustache and hazel eyes.
 itt tilfs Btstu IStt t ictoid Ot HiN- ing killed thirteen white men and twice that number of half breed Mex jeans and Indians. A iewmonths lat CT he was himself killed in san An tonic, along with kinghsher. in n hand-to-hand conflict with two other men in the Vaudeville Theater.
 He was never known to take an un- lair advantage of an enemy, num- Der of his victims having had the first shot at him. Once in a st ire he ordered man with whom he was engaged in lively dispute togo out side and pass around tho block to the right; he would pass around to the left and meet him. They did so; the man blazed away at Thompson with n shotgun loaded with buckshot, missed. went into the air at the crack of Ben's revolver. and iell n corpse.
 And thus with every case of Thomp- sons numerous Killings the prelimin- aries were always favored with u dash of dramatic sensationalism. As Thompson and his wife passed out of the ice-crcam baxar noticed that she had but one arm. The oth. CT had been shattered by a Winehes- ter ball in Denver, when she threw 1t across Ben's head upon discovering a couching form drawing a bead on him. At the time ofhis death Thomp- son was city marshal oi Austin.

 A Happy Man Was Adam.

When you come to think of 1t coollv and calmly after the lapse of all these years, Adam and Eve were pretty for tunats people. Adam never had to run dead beats with the house dogs. He didn't even have to sit in the parlor and talk politics with Eyes father. When they quarrcled and Eve climbed a tree Adam didn't have to write long. letters and spend hours of anxiety and postage stamps to make it up. All he had to do was to sit down under the tree and wait till Eyes temper recov- cred it's normal sweetness. He never patronized confectionery stores, he merely went to the nearest fruit tree, plucked nice ripe pineapple, and pre- sented it with his compliments. Theirs was beautiful dream of welded life When Eve wanted new dress. Adam went to the nearest fig tree and got it. And Eve never felt called upon to mend burstcd button-hole or help Adam bunt his collar-button, or take all the blame because he stumbled over the rocking chair It was monopoly on unadulterated co's,fort, and II Eve had only had enongh f.sn. sagacity to lift up her skirts and scream and run when she saw the snake we would not be having all this trouble now--- WaSiilqt0H loSt.
