Bellies of Society Photographed in
Antique Costume.
One OF the latest society crazes is an I'M
healthy fancy which has developed among
arstocratic girls for being photographed.
says London correspondent, as undraped
classic and pictorial celebrities. Numer-
Gus studios are in active work. and are
conducted by both male and female opera
tors. Pictures Of Andromeda and Aspasia
are the favorite subjects. and every girl
who has figure seems burning with de-
sire to see it presented az an original Of
these celebrated studies. The photographs
get passed around among the girls, their
brothers get hold OF them, the servants
steal them, and ultimately they find their
way into a photographers store, labeled
the Countess Of So-and So, or Lady Blank
as So-and-So. There have already been
several scandals of this kind and some
photographs have been bought for their
weight in twentY-dolar bills. The mania
still goes on apace, however, and where
no names are given a resultant new
amusement is to spot the beauty.

the wonder is that the upper rock main

"AND YOU'LL REMEMBER Me-

One evening as the sun went down
Among the golden hills,
And silent shadows, soft and brown,
Crept over wales and rils,
watched the dusky bats awning
DIP down the dusky lea:
Hardening, heard maiden sing,
"And you'll remember me-"
"When other lips and other hearts,"
Came drifting through the TT ees;
yin language whose excess imparts,"
Was borne upon the breeze.
All love is sweet and hope is strong.
And life's summer sea-
A wOmans soul is in her song
"And you'll remember me-"
Still ripDing from the throbbing throat,
With joy akin to pain,
There seemed tear in every note,
sob In every strain:
Soft as the twilight shadows creep
Across the listless lea,
The singer sang her love to sleep
With you'll remember me-"

1t is not likely that Sabine Canyon will
ever become a popular resort, for ii is a
journey Of hardship togo even few miles
into it. 1t is also hard to find the way.

Calientes is followed for twenty miles and
is as smooth as floor. But at a certain
point. marked by peculiarly shared
cactus, this road must be left and poorly
defined trail followed over the desert.
AT places this can hardly be discerned on
the sand and rocks, and when the foothills
are reached nothing can be seen of it.
Hills OF sand aud gravel stretch on every
side, and even in the winter months the
heat is unbearable. Travel is slow, and
af er leaving the road il takes at least
three hours to reach the place called the
canyons mouth, which looks like collec-
ton of peculiarly shaped mountains.

the different elevations are plainly marked
by the vsget BILE growth. The peak is
covered with snow and ice the greater
part of the year. Up there no vegetable
growth can be seen, but little lower a
clean-cut line of pines stretches along the
sides, aud a little lower scrub oaks appear
among the rocks. Lower still cotiOnwoods
and elms are seen until the last is covered

Rocks of peculiar shape rise hundreds of
feet into the air like church pies. A

the seminary are Bishops Potter and
Paret President Gilman and Professor
GildersleeYe, of the Johns Hopkins
University, and President Goucher and
