A Very Old Debt.


From the San Francisco Chronicle.
When Edward Ill wished to send the black
prince into France with an invading army he
found himself confronted by an empty sreas-
ury. As wars could not be made without
money at that epoch any more than at this he
applied to certain wealthy banking firm At
Florence, from which he obtained loan sutfi-
cient for his needs. The result was the vic.
tories of Crecy and Poiticrs and the hunilia.

the English kings of those days we're bad paw

it were rendered bankrupt few years ago

An OLD FASHION REVIVED.
An old fashion has been revived for young
misses. namely, the use OF ribbons tied around
the neck necklace like. Tho tying is done on
the side in full knot. 1t Is quite the thing to
hi your tailor made with a loose cape of the
same material, which may or may not be richly
embroidered. As have already warned you.
don't overdo this cabochon garniture. 1t is
not near so modish as IL was The bell skirt
will no doubt hold its place very effectually 1t
should in all cases be lined with sace silk
and not made up on a foundation. In this way
you can keep it light in weigh. and easy to pick
up on the street For walking dresses tweeds
and serges will be popular. although thick
cashmeres, vicunas and camel hairs viii divide
the honors. Trim them all with velvet
appliques, passementeries or braid. Now and
then there is feeble protest against the trained
skirt for walking dresses, but see no signs of
1t being modified or disappearing. The effect
is graceful, and for the nonce We must sacrifice

In Absence.
A careless clasping of the hand,
nod, light, half testing word;
And so we 60 our different ways
With deeper feelings all unstirred.
And threads Of toll our hands have dropped
little while, are taken up;
Through all this life the lavoring
Is bitter-sweet in every cup.
And mind and nerve are ever strained
To find the bloom, 10 shun the thorn,
And all-absorbed, we struggle On
For NEED Of wine and hoard of corn
And so, perchance we half forget,
While song and sigh we strangely blend,
That we have said farewell to one
We hold leal and loving friend
Yet in a tranquil interval
OF care and fret, a little space
At eventide or starry dusk,
Comes back the vision of face
Whose faithful eyes look in our own,
Whose smile is like SUNNI gleam--
A face like some soft-lghted star
Reflected in a sleeping stream.
And words forgotten till this hour
Come back again, true, earnest words,
Whose echoed music Is more sweet
Than morning song of summer birds,
A deeper love the spirit thrills,
BY distance rendered more complete:
And 30 does absence teach the heart
heaven-sent lesson, wise and sweet,
