Star" appears for the last time before
its publication, as now completed in
book form. The Rev. Walter Mitchell's
"Two Strings to his Bow" is also ended
in its second part. The remaining
piece of fiction is fanciful, pathetic tale
OF New England, "The Forenoon Rug"
by Mrs. Kate Douglas Wiggin. OF great
common is Professor jeremiah W. Jenk's
account and estimate OF "Greek Prime
Minister: Charilaos Tricoupis," whose
recent return to power has brought him
conspicuously to the attention OF all
Europe. Greece, in the earliest days of
her life, is represented in Maurice
Thonpson's "The Sapphic Secret" Still

The Girl Was Different.

An artist declares that a newly-be-
trothed lover commissioned him to
paint certain secluded nook in the
rocks ON the shore because there he
had declared his passion. The picture
was painted, but before it was done
the lover said to the artist:
"Of course, will see you through
on that picture, but my engagement is
off, and, of course, it would be pain
fully suggestive to Inc. Ifyou can sell
it to somebody else will take another
picture, and be extremely obliged be-
Sides"
The painter assented to the arrange
ment, but within week his patron
presented himself.
''It is all right" he announced joy
ously. "Ill take that picture"
Am to congratulate you on the re-
newal of your engagement" the artist
asked.
The other seemed little confused,
but quickly recovered his self-posses-
sion, and grinned as he said:
"No, it's another girl"

DANGER IN DECORATIONS.

Empty IsuttoDholes the Rule in Paris Be-
cause of an Anarchists Threat.
Every foreigner who has visited
Paris has been struck by the enormous
number of men wearing the rosette
either of the Legion of Honor or else
of some foreign decoration in the but
tonhole of the lapel of their coats. In
deed it seems to be the sole aim of the
Frenchman of every class of society to
become decore, and once they have at
tanned that distinction they never
dream of moving out of the house with
out the rosette in their buttonhole.
You may imagine, therefore, the SEN
sation created during the past few days
by the almost complete disappearance
of these bits of ribbons. The cause is
related by Vogue's Paris correspondent.
The young anarchist who committed
the murderous onslaught on the Ser
Wan envoy while the latter was dining
at the Bouillon Duval restaurant in
the Avenue de POpera the other day
explained that he had selected the
diplomat as his victim simply because
he happened to be the only person in
the place who was wearing the red
VI UhO loh VI lloioi III hlo
buttonhole. He informed the police au-
| thorities that on the evening before the
tragedy he had visited another restaur-
ant hoping to find there an aristocrat
of whom ''to make an example," and
that while he saw great many we'll
dressed men," none of them happened
to wear decoration; hence he post
poned his design. The unfortunate
minister is at deaths door, his wounds
being regarded as mortal, and, mean
while, the idea that a decoration worn
in the buttonhole is sufficient to mark
one out as suitable victim for an an
archist's sentiments of hatred and hos
tility toward society has got the better
of the mems vanity, and empty but
tonholes are until further notice de
rigueur.
