By no means. Ancient danes are stronger

they keep up with the times and read

He had been too much ON the water to be

OF the whaler, touched at no port While
rounding Cape Horn they, Of course, sighted
land, and now and then the purple disc of an
island in the far distance could be seen, but
that was all. Salt meat, hard bread and
muddy coffee were the fare; hard word by

the ship touched land, once at the Bay OF

Here, without telling his purpose to any one,
Hen Pearsall decided to desert, though he

very odd, was extremely stikring and pic

NOTED WOMEN AT HOME.
Private Life of Frances Hodgson
Burnett, the Novelist.
How She Achieved Success as Writer
at a Single Bound Her Home In
Washington and Charming


Hospitality.
Some twenty-five years ago, a shy English
girl of fourteen lived near Knoxville, Tenn,
whittier she had come with her widowed
mother and her brothers and sisters, from
Manchester, England. AS a child, she had
gone to school with the children of Lanca-
shire folks and had learned, as child could
grasp, of their peculiarities and their rough,
broad dialect In her new home, with a
quick faculty of imitation, she soon became
equally well acquainted with the patois of the
hill folk of Tennessee and Louisiana and even
with the jargon of the negroes of the border
section in which she lived.
The new corners were not wealthy people,
and it soon became necessary for the family
to begin the work of self-support in earnest.
Frances was sent to school for time to sup
plement the somewhat meagre education she
had begun in England. She was strange
mixture Of shyness and courage, Of moods
and mischief. In the fields and mountain
scenery of her new home she took keen de-
light, and as she was left pretty much to her
own resources for amusement, she wandered
around and explored as probably few girls
would have cared to do. But she read much

Imagination, had no trouble in passing the
days pleasantly. Her frolics and eccentric
tiles were leniently regarded by the rest Of
the family, who remembered that even in
England, while she was still in short dresses,
she had given evidence of many peculiarities
and had INDUCED in the oldest imaginative
freaks as child.
In Tennessee, however, the transplanted
Manchester girl, amid new surroundings and
influences, found other characters than dolls
for her imagination to deal with. She was
old enough to realize that the household had
about reached the limit of its resources and
that something had to be done to make
money. She had thus far been a useless
member; but now the thought came to her
like an inspiration, if she could read stories,
she might be able to write them.
The history of her first efforts at story
making, as she herself told it afterwards,
reads like pretty nursery romance. The
family had already begun to feel the pinch of
poverty, and they fell TO planning how best
to make an income sufficient to meet the do
nestle needs. While they talked of teaching
or making things for the market Frances at
once set to weaving stories after her old-time
fashion, but now she very secretly wrote them
out in big English hand, on stray sheets Of
paper. Her elder sister. Edith. was her sole

before.

new attachments ana refused TO leave his
bronzed sons and daughters, and go back to
civilization of which he had conceived
horror.
In their canoes Hen Pearsall and his sons
took his brother and the men who had been
saved to Apia, where the American consul
sent them home. And there they parted for
ever. the one to return TO his wife and chill
dren at Sag Harbor; and the other to his
wife and children under the broad fruit trees
and fronded palms OF Upola.

Navigator Islaslds-A iIo-
mantle Meeting.

Some years ago, when Sag Harbor, the
eastern end Long Island, was still resort
for whalers, that was before the discovery Of
petroleum lowered the price of whale oil, all
the lads of spirit thereabouts looked upon
voyage to the North or South poles as an
essential part of their education.
drearier life than that of common sailor
on board whaler it would be difficult to
imagine. The food, though abundant is
coarse; the quarters are vile-sfnelling and
far from wholesome the service is hard, and
the officers are apt to be tyrantS. Whale
ships find their game in the open sea- and so
never touch at a port unless to repair the
damage done by storms, or to get fresh
supplies.
Henry PearsalPs father-every one called
the lad ''Hen"-had been to sea on Whaler
when boy, and so knew that the life was a
delusion and a snare, that the effect of such
associations was damaging, and that the
time of his sons, he had two would be
wasted if they left the farm for such a
career.
Hen Pearsan went to school in the winter,
and worked on the farm n summer till he
was seventeen. Unknown to his father, he
read many doubtful stories Of sea life, and he
heard the yarns of old sailors, quite as ficti-
tious as what he had read, till his soul was
filled with yearning to see more of the
ocean than was visible from the hills of his
fathers farm.
Knowing it would be folly to try for his
fathers consent, Hen waited till the night
before whale ship was about to start for
the Southern Ocean, as the South Pacific
was called by the sailors, and putting off in
small boat to where the vessel was anchored,

bias, like the old bell skirt. The bottom of
the skirt was finished with very full double
ruffie and just gracefully touched the carpet.
The waist was quite full and laid in fine mar
row pleats at the belts. Itwas trimmed with
cream colored baptiste-appliqued lace fully
twelve inches wide and used very full. It
was drawn over the bust and around the
arm-hole in zouaye fashion, double, leaving
an edge of the lace turning each way and a
fold of rose satin running through the CEN
tire and ending on the breast, and falling
down in graceful folds. 1t is finished at the
breast with rose satin rosette. The lower
part OF the bodice is trimmed with fat

Your Own Girl,

One thing at least you have that is all your
own-you say to yourself, mother-that is
your eldest girl. She is such dear creature;
she always was. So helpful, SO sweet, so
honest, so true. Pretty-oh, Of course-but
that is the least thing. How she has helped
you all her ife.-cared for the babies, petted
the tots, thrown herself in the breach when
the cook took French leave, helped entertain
guests, comforted you when you felt like
''giving up" soothed papa when dinner was
late, set him to laughing when business
troubles made him moody sang to you both
when evening came, more sweetly, you think,
than any prima donna, and always so bright
and loving. On, this is jewel God has given
you to wear on your bosom forever, some
thing all your own. At fourteen she is as
clever as a woman. At fifteen other fine
qualities have developed. At sixteen, at
seventeen, she only grows better, dearer.
1t is in her eighteenth year that you sit down
one day, with a sense of cold hand clutch
ing your heart, and ask yourself,-has she
altered?
Certainly you cannot deny that there is a
change. In the evening she wanders away
by herself, or sits at her window, watching
the moon. She signs over her household
spiriting, she does not dress in five minutes,
as she used to, but fingers before the glass,
trying various styles of hairdressing, with
dissatisfied air. She put buckwheat into her
last pie-crust. Yesterday she ran to bring
her papa's umbrella and returned with
feather buster. This morning she dressed
little Tom for school without his iannels.
And have you not found her writing poetry
Of a doleful sort, as ''My Departed Youth"
and "Ah, Years Forever Flown You look
around and see her lost in a reverie, her ewes
fixed on nothing and holding the new baby
upside-down, regardless of its struggles
she who used to be so careful of the little
ones. .H.Ts--- g -.
And now you remember that you have
noticed that whenever Jack Beanstalk's name
is mentioned, she bushes scarlet. Jack
Beanstalk is a neighbours son, who used to
be little boy, but has suddenly grown to be
youth six feet in height, and so conceited.
You understand it all-your one girl is yours
no longer. The day is coming when she will
be Jack Beanstalk's girl, and he will take her
from you, and you snatch the baby from her
and go away to cry by yourself, for your
heart is broken.
